Book Description
If you are a manager in business, and you lead a team of people, you’re immediately under pressure to deliver results. Whether you lead a small team of five, or an entire department of 100 or more, the buck stops with you when it comes to results. Good or bad, you are judged on the results you deliver and goals you achieve. But in reality, it’s not just you who delivers results, it’s your entire team, and it’s your job as a manager (and leader) to get the very best from your team each day. This is often easier said than done, and for many managers, improving team performance is a constant headache and source of frustration. Even managers of successful teams are under pressure to achieve more and are on the ‘look out’ for ways to give them the edge. In ‘The Business Manager’s Guide To Getting The Best From Your Team’, you’ll discover a new ‘coaching based approach’ which you can personally use to improve the performance of your team and the results it delivers. You’ll be introduced to a proven step-by-step methodology which other managers (worldwide) are using right now to get the best from their teams, and drive their business units forward. Whatever your industry sector, team size or level of experience as a manager, the ideas in this book will work for you.
Contrasting Involvements

ISBN : 9789057023514
Book Description
Drawing on interviews and observations in matched pairs of firms, Contrasting Involvements explores the differences between management accounting practices in Britain and Germany. The author deals with contrasting Anglo-German approaches, particularly regarding how organizational members verbally mobilize accounting, how management accountants relate their craft to processes of strategy-making, and how accounting becomes implicated in organizational processes of accountability. These three themes point towards specific appreciations of the reality of accounting and management by organizational members in the two countries. Ahrens gives readers a sense of the immediacy with which accounting practitioners in both countries appreciate their craft, while emphasizing that they have different kinds of knowledge. Detailed examples illustrate how different enactments of organizational structures can be related to management accountants' contrasting involvements in organizational action.

Book Description
To manage key accounts profitably you need strategic planning that works. This book is the definitive guide to achieving this based on the unmatched practical and research experience of Ryals and McDonald. Key Account Management is proven to deliver substantial benefits to the bottom line.

Instead, as the best companies understand, it depends on fostering carefully developed and profitably managed relationships with an equally carefully selected group of key accounts. This is a genuinely strategic activity that goes well beyond sales management and the simplistic use of budgets to generate targets. It is about the behaviours and practices that make predictable, profitable and sustainable Key Account Management possible. To achieve this the book is constructed to deliver- * Clear descriptions of the various techniques and the reason for their importance * A hugely powerful step by step approach to using the key techniques to build strategic skills * Templates for building real plans * Cases, examples and vignettes to show best real world practice Based on wide application in the business world, and the world class research at Cranfield Management School this book will be an essential introduction to the principles and reality of Strategic Key Account Planning. For senior managers, key account managers at all levels as well as those on executive and MBA courses it will be an essential guide and text.
Collaborative Design Management

Publisher : Routledge
Page : 170 pages
File Size : 35,24 MB
Release : 2013-04-12
Category : Architecture
ISBN : 1136740961
Book Description
The design process has always been central to construction, but recent years have seen its significance increase, and the ways of approaching it multiply. To an increasing degree, other stakeholders such as contractors have input at the design stage, and the designer’s role includes tasks that were traditionally the realm of other professions. This presents challenges as well as opportunities, and both are introduced, discussed, and analysed in Collaborative Design Management. Case studies from the likes of ARUP, Buro Happold, VINCI Construction UK Ltd, and CIOB show how technologies (BIM, podcasting), innovative working (information management, collaboration), and the evolution of roles (the designer-contractor interface, environmental compliance) have changed design management as a process. Starting from a basic level, the reader is introduced to the key themes and background to the design management role, including definitions of the responsibilities now commonly involved, and the strategic importance of design. Influential technologies currently in use are evaluated, and the importance they are likely to have in future is explored. This combination of case studies from leading practitioners, clear explanations of design management roles and activities, and an exploration of how to succesfully achieve collaborative design management makes this a highly topical and uniquely valuable book. This is essential reading for professionals and students of all levels interested in construction design management, from all AEC backgrounds.
