There are some events in life that are inevitable, and the emergence of problems in the workplace is one. Solutions sets out to provide remedies that are accessible, practical, meaningful, and final. Well organized, and referenced to specific operations, this book provides troubleshooting and other assistance, and serves as an encyclopedic reference for answers to organizational problems for managers and practitioners. All the functional activities and operations of organizations are included, so that almost any problem or issue that may occur will be addressed in one or more chapters. Readers will be able to quickly locate, understand and use a specific tool or technique to solve a problem. The different tools available are described, or a single most useful tool indicated. The tool is then explained in depth with an example of how it can be used. The strengths and weaknesses of individual tools are identified and there are suggestions for further help. Solutions is essential for anyone wanting to learn the basics of business problem solving and those who might know the basics but want to expand their understanding.

Starting with commonly asked questions, they introduce and plainly explain tools that private and public sector managers and supervisors can use to make better business decisions.' John Baldacci, former Governor of Maine '"Keep asking questions until you are satisfied with the answer" is the best business advice I've ever been given This extensive research done by the Midway College business faculty will be a useful roadmap in finding answers based on experience instead of guesswork. Bottom line: The lamp post of the past is the guide light of the future.' John Y.

As the former CEO of the CUNA Mutual Group, I appreciate the need for sound business decision making and this book will help employees at all levels of their organizations and business students do just that.' Richard M. Heins 'The business faculty at Midway College have produced something long missing from the shelves of managers - a simple guide to evidence-based tools and solutions for age-old management questions. Good luck trying to find the information packed into this treasure trove through a Google search or on a bookseller's sagging shelf of management tomes.

Descriere

Solutions is a practical guide that will help managers and professionals solve the most common organizational problems they face. It is the result of a major collaborative effort by members of the same business faculty, to identify and define solutions for the most frequently occurring issues and problems for small, medium and large businesses as well as for non-profit organizations. Readers will be able to quickly locate, understand and use a specific tool or technique to solve a problem, rather than having to uncover a decision making tool buried within a textbook.
