Remote Workplace Culture: How to Bring Energy and Focus to Remote Teams
by Cary Cooper Sean O'MearaThe way we work has changed and a strong, supportive company culture is key for success. When employees work remotely, even occasionally, HR professionals and business leaders need to think differently.Practitioners now need to motivate their workforce, support talent development, ensure an inclusive environment and protect their employees' mental health, all without being in the same physical space. A strong and effective company culture that is built specifically with this purpose in mind is crucial. Remote Workplace Culture is a practical guide that shows how to achieve this and explains why simply replicating what used to happen in the office in a virtual environment doesn't work. This book shows how a strong culture for remote, hybrid and flexible working helps attract the best talent, whether this is nationally or globally and explains how to prioritize inclusion. There is also specific guidance on wellbeing initiatives, how to replace social learning in a hybrid or remote working culture and how to avoid common pitfalls such as an overreliance on technology, the blurring of work/life boundaries and a misunderstanding of remote working etiquette. Supported by case studies from BBC, Salesforce, leading financial services brands and law firms, Remote Workplace Culture is essential reading for all HR professionals and business leaders needing to develop strong company culture in the new world of work.

Remote: Office Not Required
by Jason Fried David Heinemeier HanssonThe "work from home" phenomenon is thoroughly explored in this illuminating new book from bestselling 37signals founders Fried and Hansson, who point to the surging trend of employees working from home (and anywhere else) and explain the challenges and unexpected benefits.<P><P> Most important, they show why - with a few controversial exceptions such as Yahoo -- more businesses will want to promote this new model of getting things done.The Industrial Revolution's "under one roof" model of conducting work is steadily declining owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces and allowing workers to provide their vital contribution without physically clustering together. Today, the new paradigm is "move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace." According to Reuters, one in five global workers telecommutes frequently and nearly ten percent work from home every day. Moms in particular will welcome this trend. A full 60% wish they had a flexible work option. But companies see advantages too in the way remote work increases their talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens their real estate footprint, and improves the ability to conduct business across multiple time zones, to name just a few advantages. In Remote, inconoclastic authors Fried and Hansson will convince readers that letting all or part of work teams function remotely is a great idea--and they're going to show precisely how a remote work setup can be accomplished.
Remotely Innovative: Innovation a Hybrid/Remote and AI Driven World
by David Fogarty Tom CoughlanIn the near term, the future will not belong to AI, but it will belong to the people who understand AI and how to strategically leverage its advantages.This book gives managers a new perspective on innovation and AI—allowing them to seize the future. As the pace of change has increased, organizations have needed to invest in innovation initiatives to survive and thrive. Up until now, these models have focused on co-location, which is no longer an option in some cases and may not be necessary for all, leaving organizations scrambling for options. Following up on their work in Managing at a Distance, Tom Coughlan and David Fogarty have developed this guide to help managers navigate the challenges of innovation in a world of hybrid and remote workers amidst the ever-increasing use of AI. They tackle questions such as the difference between creativity and innovation and how proximity (or lack of it) impacts teams, and present strategic, structural, and measurement solutions to maximize the role of AI in successful innovation while not minimizing the people who make up organizations.Platform-agnostic, this book will appeal to organizational leaders and managers who work with knowledge workers of any type, as well as students and instructors in graduate business courses, executive education, and corporate training programs.

Remove Child Before Folding: The 101 Stupidest, Silliest, and Wackiest Warning Labels Ever
by Bob Dorigo JonesREMOVE CHILD BEFORE FOLDING - Awarning label put on an actual baby stroller, ostensiblybecause without such caution parents might crush theirchildren and sue the stroller company for making adefective product. For years, the Michigan anti-lawsuitwatch group M-LAW has held their yearly 'Wacky WarningLabel' contest (this yearrsquo;s winner: a toiletbrush whose maker warned, 'Do Not Use For PersonalHygiene'), in order to highlight the silliest labels everpasted on actual appliances.REMOVE CHILD BEFORE FOLDING offers the 101 mostludicrous, silly and just plain stupid warning labelsever slapped onto perfectly good products, as well assome of the lawsuits that resulted from them. So beforeyou drop that hairdryer in the bathtub, read thesewarnings: 'This Product Moves when Used' (from a popularchildrsquo;s scooter), 'Once used rectally, thisthermometer should not be used orally' ('nuff said),'Harmful if swallowed' (from a brass fishing lure with athree-pronged hook), 'May Irritate Eyes' (from a can ofself-defense pepper spray).
Removing the Barriers to Efficient Manufacturing: Real-World Applications of Lean Productivity
by Daniel L. FergusonW. Edwards Deming‘s central premise was that improvements in product quality would increase productivity, improve competitive position, and help ensure long-term survival. Point 12 of his landmark 14 Points for Management says that management‘s job is to remove the barriers that keep people from taking pride in their work.

Renault-Nissan Alliance
by Michael Y. Yoshino Perry L. FaganOn Wednesday, May 29, 2002, the board of directors of Renault-Nissan BV (RNBV) met for the first time to discuss the state of the alliance between Renault SA and Nissan Motors-two of the world's largest automakers. RNBV was a 50/50 joint venture company established in March of that year to oversee the strategy of the alliance and all activities undertaken jointly by Renault and Nissan. The new company would "steer alliance strategy and supervise common activities on a global level, while respecting the identity and culture of each company and not interfering in operations." Executives at both companies believed much had been accomplished in the first three years of the alliance. Nissan, under Carlos Ghosn's leadership, had improved its finances dramatically and was rapidly reemerging as a major player in the global auto industry. Moreover, the alliance partners were in line with their initial forecast of $3.3 billion in cost savings and synergies promised by 2002, according to their internal reporting. As the board prepared to meet, Louis Schweitzer and Ghosn believed the alliance faced difficult challenges ahead. To what extent would the two companies be able to realize further savings and synergies, particularly in the areas of manufacturing and additional sales? How should the RNBV board address issues that had surfaced as employees of the two firms worked together across disparate corporate and national cultures, functions, and geographies? Ultimately, would the two firms be able to strike a balance between deepening their alliance while "respecting the identity and culture of each company and not interfering in operations?"

Render Unto Rome: The Secret Life of Money in the Catholic Church
by Jason BerryAN INVESTIGATION OF EPIC FINANCIAL INTRIGUE, RENDER UNTO ROME EXPOSES THE SECRECY AND DECEIT THAT RUN COUNTER TO THE VALUES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.The Sunday collection in every Catholic church throughout the world is as familiar a part of the Mass as the homily and even Communion. There is no doubt that historically the Catholic Church has been one of the great engines of charity in history. But once a dollar is dropped in that basket, where does it go? How are weekly cash contributions that can amount to tens of thousands of dollars accounted for? Where does the money go when a diocese sells a church property for tens of millions of dollars? And what happens when hundreds of millions of dollars are turned over to officials at the highest ranks, no questions asked, for their discretionary use? The Roman Catholic Church is the largest organization in the world. The Vatican has never revealed its net worth, but the value of its works of art, great churches, property in Rome, and stocks held through its bank easily run into the tens of billions. Yet the Holy See as a sovereign state covers a mere 108 acres and has a small annual budget of about $280 million.No major book has examined the church's financial underpinnings and practices with such journalistic force. Today the church bears scrutiny by virtue of the vast amounts of money (nearly $2 billion in the United States alone) paid out to victims of clergy abuse. Amid mounting diocesan bankruptcies, bishops have been selling off whole pieces of the infrastructure--churches, schools, commercial properties--while the nephew of one of the Vatican's most powerful cardinals engaged in a lucrative scheme to profiteer off the enormous downsizing of American church wealth.From the Hardcover edition.
Renditeorientierte Führungsstrategien
by Gunhild PosseltFührungskräfte sind mehr denn je mit den Herausforderungen einer komplexen Arbeitswelt konfrontiert, die einen Spagat zwischen Kennzahlen- und Mitarbeiterorientierung erfordern. Kennzahlen helfen, diese dynamische und volatile Arbeitssituation zu kontrollieren, und dienen als Indikatoren für ein sich veränderndes Umfeld. Gleichzeitig sind Führungskräfte von Potenzialträgern umgeben, die eine hohe Fachkompetenz haben und die bestehende Hierarchien gern ihren Themen und Projekten unterordnen. Die bloße Fokussierung auf messbare Ziele greift hier zu kurz. Diesen neuen Anforderungen werden Führungsstrategien gerecht, die auf eine Verbesserung der Rendite, aber gleichzeitig auch auf Menschen und deren Lebens- und Arbeitswirklichkeit ausgerichtet sind. Lesen Sie, wie Sie auf die Bedürfnisse der neuen Generation von Mitarbeitern eingehen und welche Führungsstrategien Sie einsetzen können, um damit die Rendite zu steigern und Ziele ambitioniert zu erreichen.

Renegotiating Contracts for the Energy Transition in the Extractives Industry (Just Transitions)
by Raphael J. Heffron Damilola S. Olawuyi Victoria R. NaluleThis book focuses on renegotiating extractive contracts to align with the net-zero goals. It delves into extractive contract negotiations in four ways which collectively represent a major research gap in literature. It focuses on extractive contract provisions and examines their alignment with net zero goals, suggesting how these provisions could be re-negotiated to ensure an effective energy transition. Consequently, the book assesses how contractual provisions are responding to, or reflecting energy transition scenarios, and highlights areas to be included or strengthened that will be beneficial for all energy stakeholders. This book goes on to discuss the energy transition global landscape. Through the presentation of case studies from different countries, the book assesses the transition risks in extractive contracts, and it uniquely provides the negotiation tools and strategies to address these transition risks.
Renewable Advantage: Crafting Strategy Through Economic Time
by Jeffrey WilliamsThe task of continuously renewing a company is the greatest challenge confronting any chief executive. To enable managers to project renewal strategies likely to win in the future, Jeffrey Williams has constructed a dynamic road map of outcomes in what he calls "economic time," based on a ten-year study of growth, decline, and renewal patterns of hundreds of companies in forty-five industries. In this superbly readable book, Williams's revolutionary, award-winning concept of slow-, standard-, and fast-cycle economic time provides a unifying business language that the multicycle manager can use to compare the renewal opportunities of widely diverse products, companies, and markets.Using examples and studies from companies such as Starbucks, McDonald's, UPS, Compaq, Sony, Merck, Disney, Toyota, IKEA, Microsoft, Sony, Intel, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Chrysler, and Hewlett-Packard, Williams explains that the key idea in economic time is being able to manage products and organizations according to the speed and means by which economic value arises, decays, and is renewed. The drivers of economic time are isolating mechanisms -- a firm's unique capabilities that lie at the heart of its competitive advantage -- and that, in Williams's framework, "delay" product obsolescence. Building on his intuitively appealing model, Williams describes how his three laws of renewal -- convergence, alignment, and renewal -- provide guidelines by which managers can gain command over strategy in complex, dynamic competitive situations.Renewable Advantage is not only essential reading but also will become a standard reference for senior and division managers, business scientists and strategists, and general managers in all industries.
