Sommario/riassunto

Making decisions is certainly the most important task managers are faced with, and it is often a very difficult one. This book offers a procedure for solving complex decision problems step by step. Unlike other texts, the book focuses on problem analysis, on developing potential solutions, and on establishing a decision-making matrix. In this fourth edition of the book, published under a new title, the authors present simplified, actionable guidelines that can be easily applied to



the individual steps in the heuristic process. The book is intended for decision-makers at companies, non-profit organizations and in public administration whose work involves complex problems. It will also benefit students and participants in executive courses.

Sommario/riassunto

This textbook, designed for all scientists interested in protein research, provides a thorough overview of laboratory methods for the biophysical chemistry of proteins. This new edition, completely restructured and expanded for ease of learning, includes sections on analytical techniques, working with proteins, protein size and shape, protein structure, enzyme kinetics, industry enzymology, and a new section on special statistics.
