How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop Challenges and Opportunities

How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop Challenges and Opportunities

How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop is an empirically based exploration of the challenges and opportunities non-permanent workers face in accessing quality work learning developing occupational identities and striving for sustainable working lives. Based on a study of 100 non-permanent workers in Singapore it offers a model to guide thinking about workers’ learning and development in terms of an ‘integrated practice’ of craft entrepreneurial and personal learning-to-learn skills. The book considers how strategies for continuing education and training can better fit with the realities of non-permanent work. Through its use of case studies the book exams the significance of non-permanent work and its rise as a global phenomenon. It considers the reality of being a non-permanent worker and reactions to learning opportunities for these individuals.

Make Better Strategic Decisions How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters

Make Better Strategic Decisions How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters

Every day we hear of serious errors of judgement that result in organisational disaster. Why do seemingly successful businesses NGOs or even political parties fall prey to irrevocable governance breakdowns or worse still criminal malpractice? By prompting readers to think deeply about strategic decision-making human behaviour and cognitive biases this book offers a disciplined objective and thoughtful approach to making better decisions. Every strategic problem is fundamentally a journey into the unknown which involves a unique combination of duration scale external and internal dynamics and personal motivations. Rarely is a strategic decision solved by saying ‘If a situation is A then the solution is B. ’ The book explores how to develop a strong foundation for problem resolving – rather than simplistic problem-solving – by strengthening competence so that decisions are made wisely. The case of Carillion plc the second-largest construction group in the United Kingdom that went bankrupt in January 2018 is used to explore how a large and profitable company collapsed so dramatically when it was run by an experienced board and advised by three of the Big Four accounting firms. Professor Jeremy N. White presents a clear strategic toolkit for better strategic decision-making. This book will appeal to senior managers who are interested in techniques for making better strategic decisions. The lessons from the failure of Carillion plc are applicable to corporate leaders in addition to politicians and those who run not-for-profit organisations. | Make Better Strategic Decisions How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters
