Highlighting a critical and often overlooked aspect of Lean implementation, this book discusses how to transform an organization from its current state to the desired state. Following the popular organizational approach of the prequel, A Tale of Two Systems, it presents two contrasting transformations based on polar opposites on the development spectrum: process-driven, compliance focused groups and chaotic groups. Synthesizing Lean manufacturing and Lean product development, it places agile software development in the context of Lean and examines the relative benefits of the Drive People versus the People Driven approach. $89.95 Hb, ISBN 9781439879757, NZRP$113.00 Publish December 2011, 272 pages Quantity Productivity Press Business & Management

Small Business Management in Cross-Cultural Environments
Designing Architecture
Per Lind, Gotland University, Sweden.
Andrew Pressman, University of New Mexico, USA.
Small Business Management in Cross-Cultural Environments is one of very few books to take the cross-cultural context as an opportunity to analyse and discuss the key concepts of small firm management in different parts of the world. This textbook covers important topics, such as: the global economic development process; entrepreneurship; the role of government; and SME growth and collaborations in a global context. By explaining how culture shapes and conditions the reality of small businesses and how organizational theories and models fail as management tools, this book fills an important gap. $85.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415678186, NZRP$107.00 Publish December 2011, 384 pages Routledge Quantity Business & Management
