Sommario/riassunto

This book broadly explains the requirement to focus on core components in a business and provides a case study of open-pit mining operations throughout the book to understand the management perspective of large organizations. With globalized approaches of large businesses and the rising requirement of understanding the needs of modern organizations, it is necessary to focus on key areas of businesses to ensure sustainability of operations. Organizations look into achieving a high return on investments and short-term measures in increasing sales or revenue is considered unsuitable. It is a necessity to look for sustainability and continuous methods of innovation to boost efficiency. This book provides a case study based on large organizations and uses qualitative methodologies where data was collected using in-depth interviews of respondents from various mining companies in the top and middle-level management from different parts of the world, detailing the state of the art of information systems



currently used in large scale open-pit miming (LSOPM). This book provides a sound knowledge of cutting-edge factors to the reader for managing the business to attain operational excellence and long-term sustainability, and caters to a broad spectrum of management and technical readers.

Sommario/riassunto

Since the first moving pictures, no one genre of film has captured the hearts of Americans as has the Western. In Shooting Stars, Archie McDonald, scholar and self-confessed cowboy hero worshipper, presents a rich, informative array of essays on our favorite Western stars. These twelve contributions by established scholars of Western film review the biographical and cinematic lives of stars from the 1920s to the present; together, they constitute a unique collection and a fitting tribute to the influence of these heroes on our lives.
