Production and Operations Management: Total Quality and Responsiveness/With Om-Companion (Mcgraw-Hill Series ...

1 review
Hamid Noori, Russell Radford

Mcgraw-Hill College, 1995

Helpfull tool while on the field
I found this book a very helpful tool as I was developing a project in an industrial plant. More than providing refreshment of knowledge, it also taught me some new concepts, which were immediately taken into action in the project itself... and the projects after that one. Once you start reading a chapter, you can't stop, it contains useful examples and real life cases, and how were those ...

The Skillful Teacher: On Technique, Trust, and Responsiveness in the Classroom

4 reviews
Stephen D. Brookfield

Jossey-Bass, 2006

Teachers are People, Too!
Brookfield writes in a personal tone, sharing what he has learned in 20 years of teaching adults. He suggests that college students are adults, and should be taught as such. This is the sort of book you like to read when you've had a bad day and think no one else feels like this. Brookfield makes it okay to talk about things like feelings, discouragement, inferiority, degree of student ...

Psychotherapy Relationships that Work: Therapist Contributions and Responsiveness to Patients

2 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

An example of what psychotherapy texts should be.
A multitude of studies and meta-analyses indicate that most, if not all, psychotherapy systems are equivalent in efficacy. This repeated finding suggests that emphasis on research and clinical thinking needs to shift toward what psychotherapies have in common, and how interpersonal processes in the psychotherapeutic relationship contribute to outcome. Most therapy texts seem to ignore these ...

Quality Is Just the Beginning: Managing for Total Responsiveness

1 review
Steve Levit

Mcgraw-Hill, 1994

A good resource if you're struggling to implement change
If your organization or team is struggling to implement change, this book may be of considerable help. On a somewhat theoretical level, Levit describes a "response-managed organization" where the organization strives to be as responsive to their customers as they expect their vendors to be towards them. This makes a lot of sense but, while Levit does provide a framework to achieve this level ...

Treat Your Own Knees: Simple Exercises to Build Strength, Flexibility, Responsiveness and Endurance

Jim Johnson

Hunter House, 2003

Excellent Book
I've never written an Amazon review before, but this little book impressed me so much that other readers should share its benefits. I damaged my knee in a motorcycle accident and had recurring pain for two years. A string of hospitals, therapists and acupuncturists were all unable to diagnose, never mind treat, the problem. Enter Jim Johnson Stage Right>>> 6 weeks after doing only part ...

Politicians Don't Pander: Political Manipulation and the Loss of Democratic Responsiveness (Studies in ...

3 reviews
Lawrence R. Jacobs, Robert Y. Shapiro

University Of Chicago Press, 2000

Terrific: Explores Link Betwn Public Opinion & Politicians
This is a wide-ranging, theoretically rich and empirically focused look at whether politicians simply "follow" the polls or whether politicians use polls to help "sell" proposals to the public. The answer is both, of course, but Jacobs and Shapiro explain how and why public leaders develop their own policy views, and how the public's acceptance of those views shape how policies are ultimately ...

The Stryker Brigade Combat Team: Rethinking Strategic Responsiveness and Assessing Deployment Options

1 review
Alan Vick

RAND Corporation, 2003

Strykers are not panacea!
It is hard to believe that an analyst can pack so much detailed information in such a few pages, but this book is a real gem for the serious reader of military matters who wants to formulate a realistic view of the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams doctrine. The calculations regarding the current ability of the US Army to transport SBCTs around the world are exhaustive and revealing and one gets a ...
