{"product_id":"management-practices-in-high-tech-environments-dariusz-jemielniak-9781599045641","title":"Management Practices in High-Tech Environments","description":"The concept of innovation management and learning organizations concepts strongly emphasize the high role of human\/intellectual capital in the company and the crucial function of knowledge in modern society. However, there is often a paradox between managerial language and actual practice in many organizations: on one hand, knowledge-workers are perceived as the most valued members of organizations while, on the other, they are being manipulated and \"engineered\"-commonly driven to burn-out, and deprived of family life. All this leads to the emergence of new organizational phenomena that, up to now, have been insufficiently analyzed and described. Management Practices in High-Tech Environments studies this issue thoroughly from an international, comparative, cross-cultural perspective, presenting cutting-edge research on management practices in American, European, Asian and Middle-Eastern high-tech companies, with particular focus on fieldwork-driven, but reflective, contributions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dariusz Jemielniak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1599045648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781599045641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Science Reference\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.12h x 8.62w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Supplements\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2007 pg. 50","brand":"Dariusz Jemielniak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088618828031,"sku":"9781599045641","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31f1f52d-ffc8-4d0f-8467-f85bae2ceba1.jpg?v=1769105760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/management-practices-in-high-tech-environments-dariusz-jemielniak-9781599045641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
