Managing People in Commercial Kitchens A Contemporary Approach

Managing People in Commercial Kitchens A Contemporary Approach

Managing People in Commercial Kitchens: A Contemporary Approach uses original research to argue that senior managers (head chefs) should differentiate their people management practices in kitchen brigades from those used in the hospitality industry more generally (induction socialisation and performance evaluation) due to the group’s strong occupational identity and culture. The understanding of chefs’ work from a management perspective is critical for successful hospitality operations but has been historically under-researched. Chapters provide a detailed account of chefs’ work in commercial kitchens from an HRM perspective. Using occupational identity and culture as a vehicle this book explores the different aspects of managerial work in commercial kitchen settings: general management leadership education and training skills and competencies managing deviant behaviour managing stress and managing diversity (focused on gender segregation). The final chapter looks at future perspectives on this unique working environment and the many challenges arising from the latest developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing both theoretical insights and practical applications with the use of case studies throughout this will be of great interest to upper-level students and researchers in hospitality as well as a useful reference for current managers in the field. | Managing People in Commercial Kitchens A Contemporary Approach

Digital Forensics and Investigations People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise

Digital Forensics and Investigations People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise

Digital forensics has been a discipline of Information Security for decades now. Its principles methodologies and techniques have remained consistent despite the evolution of technology and ultimately it and can be applied to any form of digital data. However within a corporate environment digital forensic professionals are particularly challenged. They must maintain the legal admissibility and forensic viability of digital evidence in support of a broad range of different business functions that include incident response electronic discovery (ediscovery) and ensuring the controls and accountability of such information across networks. Digital Forensics and Investigations: People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise provides the methodologies and strategies necessary for these key business functions to seamlessly integrate digital forensic capabilities to guarantee the admissibility and integrity of digital evidence. In many books the focus on digital evidence is primarily in the technical software and investigative elements of which there are numerous publications. What tends to get overlooked are the people and process elements within the organization. Taking a step back the book outlines the importance of integrating and accounting for the people process and technology components of digital forensics. In essence to establish a holistic paradigm—and best-practice procedure and policy approach—to defending the enterprise. This book serves as a roadmap for professionals to successfully integrate an organization’s people process and technology with other key business functions in an enterprise’s digital forensic capabilities. | Digital Forensics and Investigations People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise

The Forsaken Lover White words and black people

The Forsaken Lover White words and black people

First published in 1972 The Forsaken Lover draws upon Chris Searle’s experience as an English teacher in a secondary school in Tobago to focus upon the deep problems of identity encountered by black people having to use the white man’s language. He shows how the white man’s language is primarily interested in vindicating the white man’s pride and culture and denying the black man his true autonomy. Black children are still being educated within a cultural context which denies them their own identity – in order to succeed they must become as white as possible. In the Forsaken Lover (the title comes from a poem written by a West Indian girl). Chris Seale presents a lively and direct account of his experience. The book is full of the children’s own writing – poetry prose drama – and by referring to their words Searle urges the need for change in policies and attitudes of language and education. The immediate context is Caribbean but the issues are common to all societies where differences of colour class and environment exist. The book will be of interest to students of race and ethnic relations education linguistics and public policy. | The Forsaken Lover White words and black people

People Who Count Population and Politics Women and Children

People Who Count Population and Politics Women and Children

Originally published in 1995 this book confronts the contentious political issues on all sides of the population debate including immigration demographic competition gender ratios reproductive research and children’s rights. The book argues that lower fertility rates are preferred by women themselves; are beneficial in their own right to both women and children; and should not be used as a bargaining chip in any other area of the development debate. Drawing on a large body of research in anthropology child psychology and population studies the book presents evidence that the poor do not necessarily have large families as form of financial security or to put them to work; people without offspring are less lonely in old age; immigration and refugee controls in the Northern Hemisphere have been more driven by politics than rational calculation and human rights; social security does not require a large cohort of young workers. This book is a challenging contribution to the development debate. It presents a persuasive case for policies which recognise hopeful trends in relieving the environmental and social pressures of a globally increasing population. | People Who Count Population and Politics Women and Children

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Landscape designers have long understood the use of plants to provide beauty aesthetic pleasure and visual stimulation while supporting a broad range of functional goals. However the potential for plants in the landscape to elicit human involvement and provide mental stimulation and restoration is much less well understood. This book meshes the art of planting design with an understanding of how humans respond to natural environments. Beginning with an understanding of human needs preferences and responses to landscape the author interprets the ways in which an understanding of the human-environment interaction can inform planting design. Many of the principles and techniques that may be used in planting design are beautifully illustrated in full colour with examples by leading landscape architects and designers from the United Kingdom Europe North America and Asia including: Andrea Cochran Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture San Francisco CA Design Workshop Inc. Richard Hartlage Land Morphology Seattle WA Shunmyo Masuno Japan Landscape Consultants Ltd. Yokohama Piet Oudolf Hummelo The Netherlands Melody Redekop Vancouver Christine Ten Eyck Ten Eyck Landscape Architects Inc. Austin TX Kongjian Yu Turenscape Ltd. Beijing. The book stimulates thought provides new direction and assists the reader to find their own unique design voice. Because there are many valid processes and intentions for landscape design the book is not intended to be overly prescriptive. Rather than presenting a strict design method and accompanying set of rules Planting Design provides information insight and inspiration as a basis for developing the individual designer’s own expression in this most challenging of art forms. | Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Making Data Work Enabling Digital Transformation Empowering People and Advancing Organisational Success

Making Data Work Enabling Digital Transformation Empowering People and Advancing Organisational Success

In this book Edosa explores common challenges which limit the value that organisations can get from data. What makes his book unique is that he also tackles one of the unspoken barriers to data adoption—fear. Fear of the unknown fear of the intangible fear of the investment needed and yes fear of losing your job to a machine. With his talent for distilling clarity from complexity Edosa tackles this and many other challenges. —Tim Carmichael Chief Data Officer Chalhoub Group This book offers fresh insight about how to solve the interactional frictions that hamper the flow of data information and knowledge across organisations. Yet rather than being stuck with endless polarising debates such as breaking down silos it shifts focus back towards the ultimate to what end. —Jacky Wright Chief Digital Officer (CDO) Microsoft US If you care about AI transformation empowering people or advancing organisational success in an increasingly digital world then you should read this book. —Yomi Ibosiola Chief Data and Analytics Officer Union Bank A retail giant already struggling due to the Covid-19 pandemic was faced with a disastrous situation when—at the end of a critical investment in an artificial intelligence project that had been meant to save money—it suddenly discovered that its implementation was likely to leave it worse off. An entire critical service stream within an insurer’s production system crashed. This critical failure resulted in the detentions of fully insured motorists for allegedly not carrying required insurance. Making Data Work details these two scenarios as well as others illustrating the consequences that arise when organizations do not know how to make data work properly. It is a journey to determine what to do to make data work for ourselves and for our organisations. It is a journey to discover how to bring it all together so organisations can enable digital transformation empower people and advance organisational success. It is the journey to a world where data and technology finally live up to the hype and deliver better human outcomes where artificial intelligence can move us from reacting to situations to predicting future occurrences and enabling desirable possibilities. | Making Data Work Enabling Digital Transformation Empowering People and Advancing Organisational Success

Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Design is about the creation of meaningful connections to solve problems and advance human wellbeing; the discipline has always explored the beneficial links between form and function technology and meaning beauty and utility people and artefacts and problems and solutions among others. This book focuses on the crucial connection between design research and design education. Contemporary society grows increasingly hyper-complex and globally competitive. This state of affairs raises fundamental questions for both Design Education and Design Research: Should research skills be integrated into undergraduate courses? How can we modify design courses without compromising the positive aspects of the educational studio experience? Can the three cycles of higher education in design be combined into a creative and inquisitive educational continuum? To examine the relationship between research and education in Design we must address the topic of knowledge keeping in mind that the development and dissemination of new and useful knowledge is the core purpose of a University. If we agree that design has its own things to know and ways to find out about them then design knowledge resides in people processes products and philosophy. This book explores the intersection of these four areas with the aim of uncovering insights to advance the current state of the design discipline. | Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Handbook of Regression Modeling in People Analytics With Examples in R and Python

Handbook of Regression Modeling in People Analytics With Examples in R and Python

Despite the recent rapid growth in machine learning and predictive analytics many of the statistical questions that are faced by researchers and practitioners still involve explaining why something is happening. Regression analysis is the best ‘swiss army knife’ we have for answering these kinds of questions. This book is a learning resource on inferential statistics and regression analysis. It teaches how to do a wide range of statistical analyses in both R and in Python ranging from simple hypothesis testing to advanced multivariate modelling. Although it is primarily focused on examples related to the analysis of people and talent the methods easily transfer to any discipline. The book hits a ‘sweet spot’ where there is just enough mathematical theory to support a strong understanding of the methods but with a step-by-step guide and easily reproducible examples and code so that the methods can be put into practice immediately. This makes the book accessible to a wide readership from public and private sector analysts and practitioners to students and researchers. Key Features: 16 accompanying datasets across a wide range of contexts (e. g. academic corporate sports marketing) Clear step-by-step instructions on executing the analyses Clear guidance on how to interpret results Primary instruction in R but added sections for Python coders Discussion exercises and data exercises for each of the main chapters Final chapter of practice material and datasets ideal for class homework or project work. | Handbook of Regression Modeling in People Analytics With Examples in R and Python

Government Big Pharma and The People A Century of Dis-Ease

Government Big Pharma and The People A Century of Dis-Ease

Pharmaceuticals constitute a relatively small share of the total Health Care expenditure in most developed economies and yet they play a critical role in the ongoing debate over how best to advance improve and afford Health Care. Despite this and perhaps because of this the industry has had for many years an outsized claim to fame and controversy praise and criticisms and support and condemnation. Unfortunately many participants in the debate do not fully understand the complexities of the industry and its role in the overall Health Care system. The analytical tools of economics provide a strong foundation for a better understanding of the dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry its contribution to Health and Health Care and its dual and often conflicting priorities of affordability and innovation as well as the various Private and Public Policy initiatives directed at the sector. Everyone is affected by Big Pharma and the products they produce. At the Drug store the physician’s office in front of the television in everyday conversations Drugs are a part of our lives. Society shapes our values toward Drugs and Drugs shape society. (The Pill and minor tranquilizers are good examples. ) And of course the way Congress deliberates and Big Pharma responds has a huge impact on how Drugs affect our lives. This book is well-researched on the subject of the pharmaceutical industry its struggles with Government and its relationship to the consumer from the early twentieth century until the present. The Dynamic Tension between the three participants – Government Big Pharma and the People – is described and explained to lead to an understanding of the controversies that rage today. The author describes how the Government its many investigatory efforts and the ultimate legislative results affect the industry and the consequences of their activities are explored in light of their effects on other players including the patients and consumers who rely on both Government and Big Pharma for their well-being and who find sometimes unexpected consequences while giving special attention to the attitudes beliefs and misadventures of less-than-optimal Drug use. Stakeholders are identified with physicians as a major focus as well as describing the significance of prescriptions as social objects and the processes by which physicians make choices on behalf of their patients. The author ties it all together with how Big Pharma affects and is affected by each of these groups. The author utilizes his 50-plus years’ experience as an academic practicing pharmacist and Big Pharma employee to describe the scope of the pharmaceutical industry and how it affects us on a daily basis concluding with an inside look at Big Pharma and how regulations marketing and the press have affected their business both good and bad. | Government Big Pharma and The People A Century of Dis-Ease
