Sommario/riassunto |
|
Race for Relevance provides a no-nonsense look at today's realities and how associations operate and what they need to do to remain relevant in the future. Based on more than 40 years of combined experience working with more than 1,000 organizations, the authors examine 5 key areas where the traditional approach that organizations have taken in the past needs to be altered. The 5 key areas of change are: Overhaul the governance model and committee operations (and get the right people focused on the right things). Empower the CEO and leverage staff expertise.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
After more than four decades of working on the frontlines in the war against malaria, author Irwin Sherman is uniquely qualified to present this chronicle of the search for medicines to conquer malaria. The book reviews the history of antimalarial medicines and it also explains the hurdles that lie ahead in the discovery and development of effective treatments and control strategies. It provides new perspectives on the process of drug discovery and challenges of overcoming drug resistance. |
