Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the design of mechanical subsystems, with particular emphasis on the dynamibility they impart to the overall systems they become part of. Dynamibility is defined here as an attribute of a physical system - its capacity for good dynamic performance. At several places throughout the book innovative designs are presented that address previously obscure or stubborn design challenges, each tailored to meet specific functional requirements.



These designs are neither patented nor patent-pending, and readers are free to adopt and use them. The book spans a range of disciplines within mechanical design engineering, aiming to fill notable information gaps and tackle problem areas that have long remained unspoken. Where appropriate, it highlights subtle design pitfalls, cautioning designers to avoid them.

Sommario/riassunto

There are not many books that are genuine classics, and only a handful



in business and management whose insights and ideas last for 50 years and more. This book is one of the very few 'must reads' for anybody seriously interested in the role of management within the firm.Originally published in 1959, The Theory of the Growth of the Firm has illuminated and inspired thinking in strategy, entrepreneurship, knowledge creation, and innovation. Edith Penrose's tightly-argued classic laid the foundations for the resource based view of the firm, now the dominant framework in business strategy. She an
