Review A Problem-based Approach for Management Education: Preparing Managers for Action / Springer:

The past two decades have witnessed an unrelenting expansion of management education around the world. At the same time, however, influential scholars – Mintzberg, Bennis, Pfeffer and others – have levelled pointed critiques at these programs questioning their quality and relevance, as well as their approaches to teaching and learning. ‘Preparing Managers for Action’ is a timely contribution for management schools as well as other higher education institutions seeking the means to increase the relevance and quality of their professional education programs. The book describes the use of problem-based learning (PBL) in management education. PBL is an active learning approach first pioneered in medical education, but whose use has grown steadily in a variety of professional fields over the past two decades. The authors draw upon their experience in using PBL in a broad array of management education programs at the Bachelor, Master, Doctoral and Executive levels, in North American and in Asia. This book is designed to provide both novice and experienced users of PBL with resources for designing and implementing problem-based management education. The book provides the novice with useful theoretical and practical background on how design a PBL curriculum, use PBL in a classroom, and develop PBL materials. At the same time, the book will challenge experienced users of PBL and case teaching to extend their applications through the use of learning technologies and more systematic approaches to assessment and curriculum design.

Review Approaches to Training and Development / Rawat:

This celebrated book, newly revised and updated, is a comprehensive treatment of organizational training and development: its basic ideas, organizational goals, and practical techniques. Dugan Laird, noted trainer, consultant, and author, shares his considerable experience in the whole field of human resource development and job-related training. The key to this book’s ongoing popularity is its practicality: Laird’s concern with the real-life problems and needs of T&D professionals. When and how should training be used, and what methods and techniques have worked and will work? The author's answers are supplemented by simple-to-follow process charts that outline each step of an effective training system. For this Second Edition, Laird has added material on new training technologies such as video and computer assisted instruction, explaining how and when they should be used to supplement traditional instructional techniques. How do you find training needs? What do you do when you don’t give training? Learning objectives: who needs them? How do people learn? How important is teaching technique?.

Review Designing CMOS Circuits for Low Power (European Low-Power Initiative for Electronic System Design (Series).) / Springer:

Designing CMOS Circuits for Low Power provides the fundamentals of low power design for logic, circuit, and physical design level as well as the "design story" of two innovative low power systems developed in the context of European Low Power Initiative for Electronic System Design. The main objective is to present in-depth analytical and design capabilities for low power design CMOS circuits. Determining the sources of power dissipation, in-depth description of the main existing low power optimization and estimation techniques, and, their corresponding advantages, drawbacks and comparisons are discussed. Part I starts with the description of the main principles of dynamic, short-circuit, static, and leakage power dissipation together with the low power strategies for reducing each power component. A typical low power design flow consists of power optimization and estimation techniques, which should be applied in each design level. Starting with the formulation of logic optimization problem, technology independent and technology-dependent power optimization steps for combinational and sequential logic circuits are presented. The power characteristics of different logic styles such as dynamic logic and pass transistor logic and alternative implementations of basic digital circuits are studied and compared in terms of performance, area and power dissipation. Efficient implementations and comparisons of adder and multiplier circuits for various topologies are addressed. Furthermore, novel techniques that reduce the power based on alternative arithmetic schemes are investigated. Then, we tackle with the power reduction techniques for SRAM and DRAM memories. [+]
In the physical design level, the power optimization issues of clock distribution, interconnect, and layout design are described. The first part ends up with the advantages and drawbacks of the simulation-based and probabilistic power estimation methods of a logic circuit. The second part gives the architecture and the design techniques used for the low power implementation of a Safety-Critical Application Specific Instruction Processor and ultrasound beamformer application specific integrated circuit. Designing CMOS Circuits for Low Power can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, and, VLSI design engineers and professionals from academia and industry, who have had a basic knowledge of Microelectronics and CMOS digital design.
