Six Thinking Hats...Edward de Bono

Six Thinking Hats...Edward de Bono

:METHOD OF THE SIX HATS TO THINK

The intention of the six hats to think it is to desembrollar the thought, so that the thinker

can use a way to think after another one -- instead of to do all at the same time or to try it.

The best analogy is impression a all color. Each color is printed separately and in the end

all meet and it sees the set.

The method of the six hats to think are designed to remove to the thought from habitual

argumentativo style and to take it to a cartographic style. This r does of the thought a

process of two stages. First it is to develop the map. second it is to choose the route, in the

map. If the map is sufficiently good, better route usually is obvious. As in the analogy of the

impression to color, each one of the six hats puts a type of thought in the map.

FROM THE TIME WE ARE BORN, THERE IS A CONTINUOUS DIN
THAT HITS AND ASSAILS OUR SENSES. IT NEVER CEASES EVEN
WHEN WE ARE ASLEEP. IT IS A DIN THAT COCOONS US SO
MUCH SO THAT WE STOP HEARING. AND EVEN AS WE STOP,
WE CAN STILL HEAR THE DIN BUT NOT THE SILENCE.

Good to Great...Jim Collins

Good to Great...Jim Collins

Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?" In Good to Great Collins, the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. They finally settled on 11--including Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo--and discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. Making the transition from good to great doesn't require a high-profile CEO, the latest technology, innovative change management, or even a fine-tuned business strategy. At the heart of those rare and truly great companies was a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner. Peppered with dozens of stories and examples from the great and not so great, the book offers a well-reasoned road map to excellence that any organization would do well to consider. Like Built to Last, Good to Great is one of those books that managers and CEOs will be reading and rereading for years to come.

Primer on Volatile organic compounds

Primer on Volatile organic compounds

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary, room-temperature conditions. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air. An example is formaldehyde, with a boiling point of –19 ºC (–2 ºF), slowly exiting paint and getting into the air.
Many VOCs are dangerous to human health or cause harm to the environment. VOCs are numerous, varied, and ubiquitous. They include both man-made and naturally occurring chemical compounds. Anthropogenic VOCs are regulated by law, especially indoors, where concentrations are the highest. VOCs are typically not acutely toxic, but instead have compounding long-term health effects. Because the concentrations are usually low and the symptoms slow to develop, research into VOCs and their effects is difficult

New Rules of Marketing and PR

New Rules of Marketing and PR

The Internet has profoundly changed theway people communicate and interact witheach other. It has also changed the way businesses communicate with current and potential customers. In the old days, marketers could only communicate through the filter of expensive advertising or media ink placed by a PR firm. Today, the rules have changed entirely.

"The New Rules of Marketing and PR" shows you how to leverage the potential that Web-based communication offers large and small companies, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, political organizations, consultants, even rock bands and churches. Finally, you can speak directly to customers and buyers, establishing a personal link with those who make your business work. You can reach niche buyers with targeted messages that cost a fraction of your big-budget advertising campaign. Rather than bombard them with advertising they'll likely ignore, you can focus on getting the right message to the right people at the right time.

Handbook for the Chemical Analysis of Plastic and Polymer Additives

Handbook for the Chemical Analysis of Plastic and Polymer Additives

his handbook provides a detailed reference for the analysis of the additives that are most widely used in plastics and polymers. Its unique combination of comprehensive chromatograms, mass spectral data, and analytical data — in addition to environmental perspectives and regulations issued by the FDA, USEPA, EU agencies, and other groups — facilitates the analyst's ability to extract, identify, and quantify additives in finished goods using common and readily available laboratory techniques. This is an ideal reference for monitoring plastics for regulatory or internal compliance, as well as for analyzing, troubleshooting, developing, or improving upon application-specific compounding practices.
From the Preface: “...This handbook's primary aim is to provide the tools to help a bench chemist to obtain a more complete listing of additives present in a particular matrix....We provide information on analyzing polymers through thermal desorption, and the use of GC with a mass selective detector (MSD). Many compounds break apart either during extraction or analysis, so identification by key fragments, and typical moieties for the final compound is critical. The use of the GC/MS system allows the analyst to characterize a compound based on the utilization of these fragments or moieties...”
Target Audience: Analysts, scientists and researchers in the food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, polymer and plastic, petroleum, and medical device industries.
