Scientific Systemic Management by Constantin V. Mihaescu Pdf

This digital manual proposes a fundamentally new concept called scientific systemic management (SSM), based on recently discovered law of nature: The Universal Law of Organization, graphically represented by The Universal Model of Organization and Management. The concept of SSM has the following four main components: 1) A systemic vision of all things and phenomena; 2) Organization of managed process as an adaptive subsystem, continuously perfectible; 3) Organization of associated management process according to the universal model of organization and management above mentioned, discovered by author; 4) Integration of managed process and associated management process in a single system, specially designed to fulfill the desired objective. The scientific systemic approach to concepts is vital for a more efficient organization and management of existing businesses, for creating of new profitable businesses, and generally for problem-solving in complex real life situations. This book is the result of over four decades of research and experiments conducted by the author in the field of self-improvement of thinking in decision-making process, used to solve problems of high complexity, including performance in educational games online and in educational software. If poverty and crises of all kinds are expanding almost everywhere, this happens because sometimes activities of organization and management are not efficient. What can be done to improve these very important activities, readers can learn from this manual. The process of profit maximization can be developed successfully if business is organized and managed as an adjustable cybernetic system on the scientific basis of this above natural model, after which were created and work all high performance systems in Universe. Readers also learn to build correctly and quickly the systems needed to achieve all their goals. In this book are first analyzed and redefined in a scientific systemic vision all fundamental concepts relating to organization and management of complex human activities, including business and strategic chess game, used for practical examples. How can the above mentioned law of nature improve the managerial decisions, it shows into a final study of thinking in strategic chess game, with practical examples in games played against computer, almost move-by-move presented by commented chess diagrams. This detailed and pictured mode of presentation, allows profound understanding of the game, both as a whole and in detail, and how to play simultaneously for fulfillment of strategic plan and for tactical kicks, using only moves with quadruple character (defensive-offensive and strategic-tactical). It's time for traditional management, developed empirically and based only on observations from practical experience, to be replaced by scientific systemic management, based on systemics and cybernetics. Success is guaranteed if business is organized and managed as an adaptable cybernetic system on the scientific basis of this book. Today, more than ever before, to obtain high performance in business as in chess game, to solve the complex problems of organization and management of all activities, it takes a scientific systemic approach. Therefore, the fundamental concepts of organization and management are here presented in scientific systemic vision, and then applied in chess to be fully clarified and thoroughly fixed in memory. In short, studying this book, readers can find out how quickly and accurately can build and drive systems necessary to achieve the objectives and how to train their business intelligence, organization and management skills. This manual of scientific systemic management, business intelligence and high performance strategic chess training is addressed to students in the last years of high schools and universities, to business managers, and generally to all those who wish to optimize their decisions. It is also published in a printed pocket format.

The Emergence of Systematic Management as Shown by the Literature of Management from 1870-1900 by Joseph Litterer Pdf

This study, originally published in 1986, is directed to the period before the establishment of scientific management as a recognised movement, in an attempt to answer two basic questions: was there a body of management literature immediately preceding the emergence of scientific management? Did this literature, if it existed, have a central concept or approach which could be recognised? This title will be of interest to students of business studies and management.

Systemic Management by Charles W. Fowler Pdf

'Systemic management' describes a holistic, objective and universally applicable form of management, providing a framework for addressing environmental challenges such as global warming, emergent diseases, deforestation, overpopulation, the extinction crisis, pollution, over-fishing, and habitat destruction. Its goals are the consistently sustainable relationships between humans and ecosystems, between humans and other species, and between humans and the biosphere. This book presents a convincing argument that these goals, and the means to achieve them, can be inferred from empirical information. It describes how comparisons between humans and other species reveal patterns that can serve to guide management toward true sustainability i.e. ways that are empirically observed to work in natural systems. This objective approach has rarely been possible in conventional management because sustainability is invariably undermined by conflicting human values. 'Systemic management' is presented as a specialized process of pattern-based decision-making that avoids the inconsistency, subjectivity and error in current management practice. It clearly demonstrates how mimicking nature's empirical examples of sustainability can circumvent anthropocentric tendencies to overuse/misuse human values in management, and illustrates the science best suited for achieving sustainability through examples of research that address specific management questions.

Systemic Management for Intelligent Organizations by Stefan N. Grösser,René Zeier Pdf

​The last two decades increasingly have challenged the field of management by confronting it with rapidly growing levels of dynamism, inter-connectedness, and complexity. Systems-based management approaches, their promise already proven, offer great potentials for influencing and coping with this development. This collection of essays offers ideas and exemplary case studies from experts in systemic management, organiza-tional cybernetics, and system dynamics for meeting the challenges in so-cio-economic systems. This book was compiled to honor the academic achievement of Markus Schwaninger, a leading protagonist in developing the field of systemic management and organizational cybernetics. His stature in the field is demonstrated in the forewords by Raul Espejo and John Sterman. The efforts of 18 researchers and practitioners, all closely related to Markus Schwaninger, offer conceptual and empirical approaches that will allow managers and advanced students of the management profession to analyze, understand, and design intelligent organizations. The book weaves its content from both theory and practice and offers hints for improving a variety of organizations, both private and public, profit and non-profit, and large and small.​

Systemic and Systematic Risk Management by Joseph E. Kasser Pdf

This book discusses risk management as it applies to problem-solving for simple, complex and wicked problems faced by policy creators and implementors, project managers and systems engineers in the context of policies, large engineering projects (LEPs), projects and systems. When applying systems thinking to risk management, it can be seen that risk management applies to almost every action taken in daily life. This book: Introduces the systems approach of integrating risk management into policy creation and implementation, project management and systems engineering, such as the risk framework and the Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with penalties and bonuses. Introduces a number of out-of-the box concepts building on the application of the systems thinking tools in the system thinker’s toolbox. Points out that integrating risk management into policy and project management and systems engineering is just good management and engineering practice. Discusses the flow of risk in a policy from creation through implementation via LEPs and simpler projects, identifying where risks arise and where they should be dealt with. Presents the risks in the relationship between policy creation, implementation, project management and systems engineering. Discusses risks throughout the policy implementation process and shows how the nature of risks changes from political to financial to technological as implementation proceeds. Discusses managing complexity and specifies the minimum number of elements in a system for it to be defined as, and managed as, complex. Points out that in most instances the traditionally ignored major implementation risk is that of poor performance by personnel. Shows how to proactively incorporate prevention into planning in order to prevent risks, as well as how to mitigate them when they occur.

Healthcare Technology Management - A Systematic Approach by Francis Hegarty,John Amoore,Paul Blackett,Justin McCarthy,Richard Scott Pdf

Healthcare Technology Management: A Systematic Approach offers a comprehensive description of a method for providing safe and cost effective healthcare technology management (HTM). The approach is directed to enhancing the value (benefit in relation to cost) of the medical equipment assets of healthcare organizations to best support patients, clinicians and other care providers, as well as financial stakeholders. The authors propose a management model based on interlinked strategic and operational quality cycles which, when fully realized, delivers a comprehensive and transparent methodology for implementing a HTM programme throughout a healthcare organization. The approach proposes that HTM extends beyond managing the technology in isolation to include advancing patient care through supporting the application of the technology. The book shows how to cost effectively manage medical equipment through its full life cycle, from acquisition through operational use to disposal, and to advance care, adding value to the medical equipment assets for the benefit of patients and stakeholders. This book will be of interest to practicing clinical engineers and to students and lecturers, and includes self-directed learning questions and case studies. Clinicians, Chief Executive Officers, Directors of Finance and other hospital managers with responsibility for the governance of medical equipment will also find this book of interest and value.

The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Winslow Taylor Pdf

It seems, at first glance, like an obvious step to take to improve industrial productivity: one should simply watch workers at work in order to learn how they actually do their jobs. But American engineer FREDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR (1856-1915) broke new ground with this 1919 essay, in which he applied the rigors of scientific observation to such labor as shoveling and bricklayer in order to streamline their work... and bring a sense of logic and practicality to the management of that work. This highly influential book, must-reading for anyone seeking to understand modern management practices, puts lie to such misconceptions that making industrial processes more efficient increases unemployment and that shorter workdays decrease productivity. And it laid the foundations for the discipline of management to be studied, taught, and applied with methodical precision.

Finding What Works in Health Care by Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Care Services,Committee on Standards for Systematic Reviews of Comparative Effectiveness Research Pdf

Healthcare decision makers in search of reliable information that compares health interventions increasingly turn to systematic reviews for the best summary of the evidence. Systematic reviews identify, select, assess, and synthesize the findings of similar but separate studies, and can help clarify what is known and not known about the potential benefits and harms of drugs, devices, and other healthcare services. Systematic reviews can be helpful for clinicians who want to integrate research findings into their daily practices, for patients to make well-informed choices about their own care, for professional medical societies and other organizations that develop clinical practice guidelines. Too often systematic reviews are of uncertain or poor quality. There are no universally accepted standards for developing systematic reviews leading to variability in how conflicts of interest and biases are handled, how evidence is appraised, and the overall scientific rigor of the process. In Finding What Works in Health Care the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 21 standards for developing high-quality systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research. The standards address the entire systematic review process from the initial steps of formulating the topic and building the review team to producing a detailed final report that synthesizes what the evidence shows and where knowledge gaps remain. Finding What Works in Health Care also proposes a framework for improving the quality of the science underpinning systematic reviews. This book will serve as a vital resource for both sponsors and producers of systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research.
