Recenzii
'Michael Manuel brings together research evidence from several academic fields to explore how companies learn, using international commercial shipping as his example. The book covers aspects of risk perception, accident causation, organisational culture and social dynamics. This is a highly readable account for all those with an interest in safety and organisational behaviour, and it makes a significant and original contribution to the growing discipline of maritime human resource management.' Mike Barnett, Warsash Maritime Academy, Southampton Solent University, UK 'Organizational factors and influences are still often underestimated by many in the shipping business. Maritime Risk and Organizational Learning provides convincing arguments to challenge those sceptics who still question the learning potential of maritime enterprises. It reviews maritime accidents in the context of organizational learning, and provides thorough guidance - based on insights gained through direct interaction with maritime practitioners - to establishing a learning culture in maritime organizations.' Jens U. Schröder-Hinrichs, World Maritime University, Sweden 'This is a truly fascinating and insightful book, driven by an author who clearly feels deeply about his subject matter. Hopefully its readership will not be restricted to those who make their living from the sea - though those that do should make it a priority.' RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal December 2011
Descriere
Based on an extensive research project, this book investigates how shipping companies learn from, filter and give credence/acceptability to differing risk perceptions and how this influences the work culture with special regard to group/team dynamics and individual motivation. The work is presented in the context of the literature regarding conceptual links between risk and the theoretical and operational themes of organizational learning, and in light of interviewees' comments.
