From one of today's leading project management experts comes the first resource of its kind-a multi-disciplinary method for handling the largest, or the most complex projects in business today.All too often, we're carrying out projects that come with high levels of complexity or uncertainty, and conflicting or unstated expectations from stakeholders. The authors of this groundbreaking guide refer to such projects as "fuzzy projects."In Managing Fuzzy Projects in 3D, project management guru Lavagnon Ika and organizational strategy expert Jan Saint-Macary walk you through a three-pronged approach for successfully managing such projects:Addressing the constraints of time, cost, and qualityAssessing the needs and expectations of sponsors and other stakeholdersApplying a proven psychosocial approach to deal with the human aspects of the project and its teamThe authors provide a multi-disciplinary approach to project management (Ika's area of expertise) and organizational strategy (Saint-Macary's area of expertise). They draw on several examples, shedding light on why even well-managed projects can fail to meet business case and strategic expectations, and showing how their methods work in the real world.Throughout, they provide illustrative case studies, including Boston's "Big Dig," the Golden Gate Bridge, the Ford Edsel, Olympic Games, Indian Tata Nano Car, Microsoft Campus Renovation Project, the U.S. moon mission, and Apple iPhone. In addition, they provide specific questions you can ask stakeholders in order to build clarity from the start of the project.With Managing Fuzzy Projects in 3D, you have everything you need to successfully guide the most complex, unclear projects beginning to end.

Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective examines the intersection, and impact, of the changing nature of business, challenges presented by increasing globalization, and the expanding impact of technology with a renewed emphasis on ethical decision making. These areas of study include constitutional law, international perspectives, contracts, business associations (partnerships, corporations and limited liability companies), antitrust law, employment law and discrimination, and intellectual property (patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets). The authors have purposefully emphasized aspects of the legal environment of business that are especially relevant for future business managers. Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective provides managers with a framework in which they will identify, consider, and then solve practical problems in a business environment in which legal and regulatory issues have attained prominence. Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective presents readings, materials, and case decisions that provide a basis for understanding the unique "legal vocabulary," and identifying and analyzing critical legal principles and concepts. The cases contained in this volume have been carefully selected and edited and contain questions designed to enable students to gain insights which reflect their importance in the development of the law as it relates to managerial functions. Law, Business and Regulation: A Managerial Perspective addresses selected traditional business law topics as well as those that are considered more broadly as the legal environment of business. In addition, topical ethical considerations related to the chapter materials are included. These considerations are designed to sharpen our students' appreciation for the role that ethics will play in the decision making process.

Triphasic Training is the pinnacle of sports performance training. That's not hype. Cal Dietz, strength coach at the University of Minnesota, has the results to back up this claim - a Hobey Baker Award winner, two Big Ten Athletes of the Year, over 400 All-Americans, 28 Big Ten/WCHA championship teams, 7 NCAA National Team Champions, and 13 teams that finished in the top four in the nation.Over the past decade, Coach Dietz has worked with thousands of collegiate and professional athletes, incorporating the latest scientific research into developing his Triphasic Training method. His approach breaks down athletic movements into their three components -- eccentric, isometric, and concentric -- allowing for the continuous development of athletes, maximizing their strength, speed, and power.In this easy-to-understand book, Coach Dietz has teamed up with exercise physiologist, Ben Peterson, to explain the physiological foundations of Triphasic Training and how they can be applied to training, making athletes bigger, stronger and faster than ever before. The authors give examples of complete programs, as well as examples of how to incorporate the Triphasic method into existing programs, with descriptions on adapting it to virtually any scenario.The digital edition of this book contains over 3,000 hyperlinks to video clips that demonstrate how to properly perform every exercise, as well as six hours of video lectures by Coach Dietz from his national speaking tour. In this book, these hyperlinks are indicated by words or phrases that are underlined. In order for you to take advantage of these features, included in the book is a web link to a downloadable PDF that contains the hyperlinks and videos from the original digital book.Included in the book: - 5 complete 24-week training programs designed for 6-day, 5-day, 4-day, 3-day, or 2-day training models.- Over two dozen tables showing when and how to modify exercises to ensure continuous improvement in athletes.- Peaking programs for football lineman and skill players; swimmers; baseball, volleyball, and hockey players (among others).- A complete 52-week training program for football."Awesomeness!
