Nouveaux livres

Un nouveau souffle pour la qualité: optimisez votre système de management qualité / Christophe Villalonga. Saint-Denis-La Plaine [France]: Afnor, 2011. 150 p. ; 24 cm.

"[L'auteur] analyse les symptômes qui mettent la qualité en danger et suggère des solutions toniques. En dix points clés, il propose les grands principes d'optimisation de la qualité."

L'audit stratégique: qualité et efficacité des organisations / Michel Weill. La Plaine Saint-Denis [France]: AFNOR, 2011. 248 p. ; 24 cm.

"Pour un responsable d'entreprise, le défi majeur consiste aujourd'hui à évaluer, de façon relativement simple, son niveau de maîtrise stratégique et, au-delà, la pertinence de son système. La difficulté a longtemps résidé dans l'absence d'un référentiel faisant l'objet d'un consensus minimal au sein des milieux professionnels. L'auteur montre que les modèles dits de Qualité Totale apportent une solution satisfaisant à ce défi."

658.301 W422 2011

Le self-management: l'art de survivre au travail! / Alain Labruffe. La Plaine-Saint-Denis [France]: AFNOR, 2010. x, 229 p. ; 24 cm.

Pour des entretiens d'évaluation efficaces / Alain Hosdey. Liège, Belgique: Edipro, 2010. 201 p. ; 21 cm.

"Que rapportent les entretiens d'évaluation pour justifier le temps qui leur est consacré? C'est la question que tout dirigeant d'entreprise, tout responsable RH doit se poser. Car, au fil du temps, ces entretiens se transforment souvent en une formalité accomplie 'parce qu'il faut bien'. Ou leur climat, détestable, détruit parfois définitivement la relation entre un responsable et certains de ses collaborateurs. "

658.3125 H825 2010

Thinking government: public administration and politics in Canada / David Johnson. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2011. 528 p.: ill. ; 23 cm.

Why organizational change fails: robustness, tenacity and change in organizations / Leike van Oss and Jaap van't Hek. New York: Routledge, 2011. xvi, 184 p.: ill. ; 24 cm.

"Change in organizations can arise spontaneously, or it can begin in response to a planned process of change. Even planned change is not as predictable as one might like it to be; it is often partial or incomplete, or the results of change may not be what one hoped. The aspects of an organization that resist change can be vital to an organization's success, helping to keep it firm, stable, and robust."

658.406 O844 2011

Power genes: understanding your power persona and how to wield it at work / Maggie Craddock. Boston: Harvard Business Review Press, 2011. vii, 216 p.: ill. ; 24 cm.

"We've all joked about it: the domineering father figure as top manager, the boisterous elder brother type as heir apparent, the caring mother hen on the executive team. But that leaves the rest of us in the workplace as a gaggle of siblings battling for recognition, resources, and rewards from our 'parents'. Next thing you know, we're doing exactly what we did when we were kids to get what we need at work - trying too hard to please, acting out, brownnosing. Yet these responses aren't productive in the workplace."

658.4094 C883 2011

"The emergence of new media and social media is frequently discussed in contemporary society. However, media and public communication are mostly analyzed within particular theoretical frameworks and within specific disciplinary fields. Such approaches have created polarized views on media and communication, and fail to create an understanding of the interdependencies between these fields."

302.23 M169 2010

As we speak: how to make your point and have it stick / Peter Meyers and Shann Nix. New York: Atria Books, 2011. viii, 275 p.: ill. ; 24 cm.
