Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A phenomenon is ever-changing, multifarious, intricate, unique in nature, type and magnitude in this complex world where actions, situations, activities,entities and processes are different at different times. The management of such a phenomenon becomes challenging due to underlying complexity, unknown/unseen interactions and different conditions.Consequently the management of such a phenomenon requires measurement. If you can't measure it, you can neither manage it nor improve it properly and effectively. Therefore the twin objectives of the present volume are: firstly, to develop the different structural models to establish potential causal relationships between endogenous and exogenous variables of a phenomenon based on path analysis. Secondly to transform the structural models into measurement models in order to deliver comprehensive, flexible versatile and robust measurement systems to measure a phenomenon or entity as a system in its totality, to be able to take the right actions and policy prescriptions. This book primarily deals with Business and Organisational Excellence and presents and delineates robust models such as Kanji's Total Quality Management Model, Kanji's Business Excellence Model, Kanji-Chopra Corporate Social Responsibility Model, Kanji-Chopra Performance Excellence Model, Kanji-Chopra Work Well-being Model and so on. This book will be an essential reading forboth academics and professionals working in the area of management, measurement, total quality management, business excellence, customers'satisfaction, leadership excellence, corporate social responsibility, managerial accountability, performance measurement and work stress.
