Welche Führungskraft möchte nicht in ihrem Verantwortungsbereich ihre wertschöpfenden Prozesse so steuern, dass einerseits zwar die Kosten stets auf niedrigem Niveau gehalten werden, gleichzeitig aber die Mitarbeiter sich ohne Überlastung an einer kontinuierlichen Verbesserung orientieren. Vor dem Hintergrund stetiger Veränderungen den Kunden und den Arbeitsfluss im Auge zu behalten bietet die Kanban-Methode. Die Autoren dieses Buches zeigen die Erfolgsfaktoren und Prinzipien ebenso anschaulich auf wie die Umsetzung und die Werte, die Beachtung finden müssen. Dadurch bleibt dieses Konzept nicht theoretisch, sondern kann unmittelbar angewendet werden. Am Ende des Buches befindet sich ein Glossar. Es ist optimal, um sich einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Begriffe zu verschaffen und den eigenen Wissensstand zu kontrollieren.

So wird die marktwirtschaftlich-dezentralisierte Höchstleistungsorganisation Realität! Niels Pfläging und Silke Hermann, die Begründer des Zellstrukturdesigns, legen mit diesem Handbuch ein Lernwerkzeug für wirksames Organisationsdesign in Gegenwart und Zukunft vor. Systematisch und umfassend, aber dennoch kompakt, buchstabieren Pfläging und Hermann die Grundlagen einer zeitgemäßen Organisationsgestaltung aus, die gleichzeitig wertschöpfungsfokussiert, komplexitätsrobust und mit der Natur des Menschen im Einklang ist. Dieses Buch ist insbesondere für jene wertvoll, die innerlich bereits Abschied genommen haben von Funktional- und Silostrukturen, von Pyramiden- und Matrixorganisation – sowie vom Glauben an zentrale Steuerung in Unternehmen. Lob für die Bücher von Silke Hermann & Niels Pfläging „Komplexithoden ist der schwungvolle, praktische Schnellkurs, es kommt rasch auf den Punkt, ist unglaublich witzig illustriert und bleibt trotzdem komplex im Sinne dynamischer Überraschungen.” Brand eins „Respektlos demontiert Pfläging die klassische Lehre, und bietet humorvoll schlüssige Alternativen.“ Harvard Business manager „Organisation für Komplexität ist das unentbehrliche Handbuch für Führung in der Ära der Netzwerke.” Harold Jarche „Pfläging ist der Vater vom Ende des Managements.“ Winfried Felser, Competence Site „Niels Pfläging ist immer dabei, wenn das ganz Vorne vermessen und kartographiert wird.“ Peter Felixberger, changeX

Understanding Value Chains first examines the process of the institutionalization of the main theoretical foundations of the global value chain since its conception in the academic field and, subsequently, in international organizations. The authors analyse the evolution of Mode 5 services jobs and salaries in the EU, assessing whether there are signs of functional upgrading and how it affects female jobs and the gender pay gap. The coffee global value chain is broken down into five segments: primary production, processing, trade, roasting, and marketing. An investigation of 34 Indonesian provinces was conducted in an effort to reformulate the policies relating to circular sustainable reverse logistics. Four new components: vision, mission, and managerial orientation; infrastructure capabilities; human resource and organizational commitment; and regulation are used to assess the readiness of each level of government. The authors discuss how, as the UK had no trade agreement with the African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries immediately after the referendum vote, this transition period presents an excellent opportunity to negotiate a new trade agreement. Value chain analysis is used to help understand how Guyana participates in the gold value chain, and to help develop appropriate policies to address its supply-side limitations. Guinéa-Bissau's position in the cashew value chain is assessed, and recommendations to address challenges are proposed. This compilation presents the agricultural value chain framework, introducing the main ideas of the system dynamics methodology and demonstrating the application of system dynamics modeling to a real-world case.

'To paraphrase a number of philosophers, the major challenge any executive or manager (and especially any CEO) faces is that his or her experience of the reality of the organization is not the same as the reality itself. How then does an executive: 1) develop a more accurate and complete representation of the organization, 2) identify critical business issues and improvement opportunities across this system, 3) design a way forward, and 4) install the feedback and measurement mechanisms necessary to ensure the organizational system delivers the performance and stays on course? This is where this book comes into its own.'-- Michael DeNoma president and CEO, Chinatrust Commercial Bank'Every CEO (or executive managing a business) should read and understand Rediscovering Value if they want to effectively lead and manage their company. Leading a company without an understanding of the value and resource dimensions and how to manage them is like flying an airplane without a navigation system. The team at PDL has done an unbelievable job of describing the principles of an organization and how to effectively organize, lead, and manage the enterprise. Our company used PDL's systems approach to planning and managing and it was like turning on the lights in a dark room. Our people became process- and work-focused and morale improved dramatically as we moved away from the silo approach of running a business. Rediscovering Value is a must-read for any executive.'-- Steve Hassenfelt CEO, Granville Capital, Inc. From author of the acclaimed Improving Performance, an exploration of the concept of Value Management and technology, comes the next step resource that introduces the transformation model. Rediscovering Value gives a preliminary description of the SOE phase, and covers the dimensions of the model. The book dissects each phase of the model, and describes what is accomplished along each dimension, the criteria to reach the next phase, and the key challenges of each phase (Stabilize, Optimize, Exploit in detail). It lays out the success factors for effective process design, improvement, and management.
