The Royal Dockyards were Britain's oldest state enterprise and biggest and most complex industrial unit. This book shows how the Admiralty over two centuries struggled to master the intractable problems of organization and management which the dockyards presented. Haas maintains that the dockyards portrayed an image of being inefficient, high-cost producers. These problems were chiefly extreme centralization but, paradoxically, weak control, inadequate coordination of departments, and accounting procedures, unreliable information about production, costs and material, an insufficiently educated and professionalized constructive corps, and an underpaid and slack workforce.

During my time in college, I delved into the book 'Coffee, Tea, or Me' authored by Donald Bain, which recounted the thrilling narratives of two airline stewardesses. It was a truly enjoyable read, prompting me to reflect on my own exceptional experiences and analyze them to the best of my abilities. In simpler terms, management involves overseeing a process. During this journey, an individual can either excel as a proficient manager, leveraging their skills, or unintentionally cause harm due to their limitations. This book is designed to shed light on a set of crucial skills that contribute to exceptional managerial abilities. In doing so, it purposefully avoids complex management jargon, emphasizing that being a successful manager depends on a few fundamental and easily accessible qualities. Many individuals naturally possess these innate traits, and some recognize their importance, thereby adding value to their organization. Conversely, others neglect them, placing a burden on their company in the process. Within the pages of this book, a dedicated effort has been made to clarify the essential aspects of management. Each of these domains is exemplified through real-life case studies, all based on my personal experiences. However, to safeguard confidentiality and protect the privacy of individuals involved, names and locations have been modified.

If you are contemplating buying The Odyssey, sure that you know what the book is about. Thus, why buying a Knowledge Management Edition instead of a normal one? There are several reasons, among them saving time -you do not have much time to read, or you have to read it aloud to youngsters or elders-, catching up quickly with its contents -for a second reading, for catching up with classic literature, before watching the film-, of having two versions in one -for english students with different levels of proficiency; etc.

In The Genome Odyssey, Dr. Euan Ashley, Stanford professor of medicine and genetics, brings the breakthroughs of precision medicine to vivid life through the real diagnostic journeys of his patients and the tireless efforts of his fellow doctors and scientists as they hunt to prevent, predict, and beat disease. Since the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003, the price of genome sequencing has dropped at a staggering rate. It’s as if the price of a Ferrari went from $350,000 to a mere forty cents. Through breakthroughs made by Dr. Ashley’s team at Stanford and other dedicated groups around the world, analyzing the human genome has decreased from a heroic multibillion dollar effort to a single clinical test costing less than $1,000. For the first time we have within our grasp the ability to predict our genetic future, to diagnose and prevent disease before it begins, and to decode what it really means to be human. In The Genome Odyssey, Dr. Ashley details the medicine behind genome sequencing with clarity and accessibility. More than that, with passion for his subject and compassion for his patients, he introduces readers to the dynamic group of researchers and doctor detectives who hunt for answers, and to the pioneering patients who open up their lives to the medical community during their search for diagnoses and cures. He describes how he led the team that was the first to analyze and interpret a complete human genome, how they broke genome speed records to diagnose and treat a newborn baby girl whose heart stopped five times on the first day of her life, and how they found a boy with tumors growing inside his heart and traced the cause to a missing piece of his genome. These patients inspire Dr. Ashley and his team as they work to expand the boundaries of our medical capabilities and to envision a future where genome sequencing is available for all, where medicine can be tailored to treat specific diseases and to decode pathogens like viruses at the genomic level, and where our medical system as we know it has been completely revolutionized.
