Review Discovering the Leader in You / Mcgraw Hill Book Co Ltd:

Aiming to encourage everyone to realise the leadership opportunities open to them, no matter what their level of responsibility or position, this book considers the advantages of leadership skills, re-examining traditional ideas and focusing on the skills, attitudes and knowledge that help leadership qualities to grow. The text avoids theory and abstract concepts, in favour of real-life examples and a series of "WIFMs" (What's in it for me), to enable the reader to get to grips with the practice of leadership.

Review The Fordism of Ford And Modern Management: Fordism And Post-Fordism (Elgar Mini Series; Elgar Reference Series) / Not Avail:

In an attempt to make sense of changes that have taken place in the workplace worldwide, especially since the last quarter of the twentieth century, the two concepts of Fordism and Post-Fordism are often invoked. These volumes perform a valuable service to social scientists in bringing together important previously published contributions which explore this field. In their selection of articles, the editors range from the Fordism of Henry Ford to its oft-touted modern management successors â€" Japanisation and Toyotaism, flexible specialisation, lean production and McDonaldisation. They also provide useful criticisms of each of these developments. The editors have written an authoritative introduction which offers an informative discussion of the issues.

Review Biodegradable Polymers: Market Report / Smithers Rapra Press:

Biodegradable polymers have experienced strong growth over the last three years and are set to make further inroads into markets traditionally dominated by conventional thermoplastics in future. Demand is being driven by a number of factors. The cost of biodegradable polymers has come down considerably over the last three years while at the same time standard thermoplastic prices have increased considerably. Now, some classes of biodegradable polymers are price competitive with polymers such as PET. The biodegradable polymers industry itself has established an agreed framework for testing and certification and there is growing political pressure in developed countries to reduce packaging waste and develop a composting infrastructure. Biodegradable polymer producers have also invested in product and process improvements. Finally, consumers and brand owners are beginning to recognise the benefits of sustainable or 'green' packaging. Four main classes of biodegradable polymers are analysed in this report, polylactic acid (PLA), starch-based polymers, synthetic biodegradable polymers, such as aromatic aliphatic co-polyesters, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The report analyses their key performance properties, applications development, market drivers and future prospects. Each product section also contains an estimate of market size by world region and end use market, plus forecasts to 2010. [+]
There is also an analysis of key suppliers and their products. Key Features: Biodegradable polymers market size by geographic region, polymer type and end use sector, 2000 and 2005, plus forecasts to 2010. Market opportunity analysis by end use sector, such as packaging, bags and sacks, foodservice, agriculture, medical, consumer products and fibres. Illustrations of product and applications development over the last three years. Supply chain analysis: including details of thirty leading biodegradable polymer suppliers and profiles of around fifty of the world's leading biodegradable polymer processors. Analysis of biodegradable polymer performance properties, market drivers, applications and product developments.
