How the world has become much better and why optimism is abundantly justified Why do so many people fear the future? Is their concern justified, or can we look forward to greater wealth and continued improvement in the way we live? Our world seems to be experiencing stagnant economic growth, climatic deterioration, dwindling natural resources, and an unsustainable level of population growth. The world is doomed, they argue, and there are just too many problems to overcome. But is this really the case? In Fewer, Richer, Greener , author Laurence B. Siegel reveals that the world has improved —and will continue to improve—in almost every dimension imaginable. This practical yet lighthearted book makes a convincing case for having gratitude for today’s world and optimism about the bountiful world of tomorrow. Life has actually improved tremendously. We live in the safest, most prosperous time in all human history. Whatever the metric—food, health, longevity, education, conflict—it is demonstrably true that right now is the best time to be alive. The recent, dramatic slowing in global population growth continues to spread prosperity from the developed to the developing world. Technology is helping billions of people rise above levels of mere subsistence. This technology of prosperity is cumulative and rapidly improving: we use it to solve problems in ways that would have be unimaginable only a few decades ago. An optimistic antidote for pessimism and fear, this book: Helps to restore and reinforce our faith in the future Documents and explains how global changes impact our present and influence our future Discusses the costs and unforeseen consequences of some of the changes occurring in the modern world Offers engaging narrative, accurate data and research, and an in-depth look at the best books on the topic by leading thinkers Traces the history of economic progress and explores its consequences for human life around the world Fewer, Richer, Greener: Prospects for Humanity in an Age of Abundance is a must-read for anyone who wishes to regain hope for the present and wants to build a better future.

Over the last few years, multi-touch mobile devices have become increasingly common. However, very few applications in the context of 3D geometry learning can be found in app stores. Manipulating a 3D scene with a 2D device is the main difficulty of such applications. Throughout this book, the author focuses on allowing young students to manipulate, observe and modify 3D scenes using new technologies brought about by digital tablets. Through a user-centered approach, the author proposes a grammar of interactions adapted to young learners, and then evaluates acceptability, ease of use and ease of learning of the interactions proposed. Finally, the author studies in situ the pedagogic benefits of the use of tablets with an app based on the suggested grammar. The results show that students are able to manipulate, observe and modify 3D scenes using an adapted set of interactions. Moreover, in the context of 3D geometry learning, a significant contribution has been observed in two classes when students use such an application. The approach here focuses on interactions with digital tablets to increase learning rather than on technology. First, defining which interactions allow pupils to realize tasks needed in the learning process, then, evaluating the impact of these interactions on the learning process. This is the first time that both interactions and the learning process have been taken into account at the same time.

"Konsequentes F?hren ist das Hauptdefizit in Organisationen!" Diese steile These von Thorsten Ebeling kommt nicht von ungef?hr. Er selbst musste erst die Erfahrung machen, was es bedeutet, inkonsequent zu f?hren. Das Ergebnis: Jeder Mitarbeiter macht, was er will, keiner macht, was er soll – und alle machen mit. Und warum das alles? Weil es den Mitarbeitern an Orientierung fehlt, an klaren Zielen und Strukturen, in denen sie sich bewegen k?nnen, und an einer F?hrungskraft, die ihr «Fels in der Brandung» ist. In seinen Coachings stellt Ebeling immer wieder fest, dass in vielen Unternehmen genau hier Nachholbedarf herrscht. In den Organisationen schwelen Konflikte, es mangelt an klarer Kommunikation und an schwarzen Zahlen. Doch k?nnen hierf?r nur die Mitarbeiter verantwortlich gemacht werden? Nein, wenn ein derartiges Chaos im Unternehmen herrscht, sollte die Pyramide von oben abgearbeitet werden. Getreu dem Motto «der Fisch stinkt vom Kopf» ist hier bei der F?hrungskraft anzusetzen. Denn oft ist sie sich ihrer Funktionen gar nicht bewusst. Sie ist weder in der Lage, eine vertrauensvolle Atmosph?re zu schaffen, noch Verantwortung abzugeben, um endlich das zu haben, was essenziell f?r den k?nftigen Erfolg des Unternehmens ist: mehr Zeit f?r F?hrung. Das Buch bietet Gesch?ftsf?hrern, Inhabern und CEOs eine Orientierungshilfe f?r erfolgreiche F?hrung. Wenn alles durcheinanderger?t, Chaos herrscht und die Zahlen den Bach hinuntergehen, dann ist es noch nicht zu sp?t, aber h?chste Zeit zum Handeln. Thorsten Ebeling bietet neben Zahlen, Daten und Fakten auch praktische Tipps f?r alle, die ihr Unternehmen wieder in die richtige Bahn lenken m?chten – und das gelingt nur ?ber konsequentes F?hren.

Erfolg im Vertrieb definiert sich nicht ?ber die eine Technik, die eine Methode oder den einen Trick.

Es ist nicht der Abschluss, der einen erfolgreichen Verk?ufer ausmacht, sondern der «Kundenschwarmeffekt». Spitzenverk?ufer wollen zum Schwarm ihrer Kunden werden. Sie wollen Kunden durch ihr Auftreten und Verhalten begeistern. Durch diese Einstellung erzielen sie herausragenden Verkaufserfolg und werden konstant weiterempfohlen.

Die Leser werden lernen: – wie sie die Transformation des Einkaufs in ihrem Unternehmen planen; – wie sie sicherstellen k?nnen, dass ihr Team ?ber die f?r den kommenden Wandel erforderlichen F?higkeiten verf?gt; – wie man den Einkauf neu positioniert, um zum Vorreiter funktions?bergreifender Ver?nderungen zu werden; – wie sie neue Themen wie Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit in ihre Beschaffungspl?ne integrieren; – wie man sicherstellt, dass sich Effizienzsteigerungen im Einkauf vollst?ndig im Gewinn niederschlagen. «PROFIT FROM PROCUREMENT» ist die perfekte Lekt?re f?r C-Suite-F?hrungskr?fte und Einkaufsexperten in Unternehmen jeder Gr??e und geh?rt in das B?cherregal jedes Mitarbeiters und jeder F?hrungskraft, die mit Unternehmensabl?ufen und Gewinnstrategien betraut ist.

Set aside trends to focus on the fundamentals of great leadership Reframing Organizations provides time-tested guidance for more effective organizational leadership. Rooted in decades of social science research across multiple disciplines, Bolman and Deal's four-frame model has continued to evolve since its conception over 25 years ago; this new sixth edition has been updated to include coverage of cross-sector collaboration, generational differences, virtual environments, globalization, sustainability, and communication across cultures. The Instructor's guide has been expanded to provide additional tools for the classroom, including chapter summary tip sheets, mini-assessments, Bolman & Deal podcasts, and more. These recent revisions reflect the intersection of reader recommendations and the current leadership environment, resulting in a renewed practicality and even greater alignment with everyday application. Combining the latest research from organizational theory, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, political science and more, the model detailed here provides real guidance for real leaders. Guide, motivate, and inspire your team's best performance as you learn to: Optimize group, team, and organizational structure Build a positive, collaborative dynamic across generations, teams, and sectors Understand power and conflict amidst the internal and external political landscape Shape your organization's culture and build a cohesive sense of spirit Bolman and Deal's four-frame model has withstood the test of time because it offers an accessible, compact, and powerful set of ideas for navigating complexity and turbulence. In today's business climate, leadership trends come and go; today's flash in the pan is tomorrow's obsolete strategy, but a leadership framework built on a solid foundation will serve your organization well no matter what the future holds. Reframing Organizations provides clear guidance and up-to-date insight for anyone facing the challenges of contemporary leadership.

Streben Sie nach einem harmonischen, gl?cklichen Arbeitsplatz? Dann bereiten Sie sich auf schlechte Leistungen vor! In ihrem Buch teilt Rachael Robertson, die ehemalige Leiterin einer Antarktis-Expedition, ihre wirklich einzigartigen Erfahrungen an diesem weltweit vielleicht schwierigsten Arbeitsplatz. Untermauert durch umfangreiche Forschungsarbeiten zeigt sie, warum die leistungsst?rksten Teams diejenigen sind, die sich nicht so sehr auf Harmonie, sondern auf gegenseitigen Respekt und Meinungsvielfalt konzentrieren. Das Ergebnis sind au?ergew?hnliche Leistungen und Ergebnisse. Man k?nnte sogar sagen: Harmonie am Arbeitsplatz ist ?berbewertet und kann sogar gef?hrlich sein. Vor allem Respekt ist der Schl?sselbestandteil einer Hochleistungskultur. Eine Konzentration auf Respekt statt auf Harmonie verbessert alles – von der Moral bis zur Produktivit?t. Dieses praktische und ansprechende Buch bietet bew?hrte Instrumente, um: – eine Kultur der offenen und direkten Kommunikation zu schaffen, – vorurteilsfreie Vielfalt und Integration zu f?rdern, – die kleinen Probleme zu identifizieren, die oft ein Symptom von Respektlosigkeit sind, – dem Klatsch und der Negativit?t ein Ende zu setzen, – die Zusammenarbeit und Innovation zu verbessern. Das Buch wird Ihnen helfen, belastbare, anpassungsf?hige und leistungsstarke Teams aufzubauen und die Vorteile pers?nlicher Unterschiede und Diversit?t zu maximieren.
