Ferroelectric materials exhibit unusual electric properties which make them useful in modern (opto)electronic technology, esp. display technology.Ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals, including also various polymer forms, are the hottest research topic today in liquid crystals. The field is at the very beginning of industrial exploitation - a sensitive phase in which a good reference work is needed and will have a broad spectrum of readers both at universitiFerroelectric crystalsLiquid crystalsFerroelectric crystals.Liquid crystals.530.4/29Lagerwall Sven T(Sven Torbjorn)1839018MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911019793703321Ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals4418133UNINA02782nam 22005891 450 991100843260332120240123195912.0978148332277314833227779781483301891148330189397815443086781544308671(CKB)4330000000042164(OCoLC)1027199542(CaToSAGE)SAGE000003045(MiAaPQ)EBC5165234(PPN)234835001(MiAaPQ)EBC1994708(Au-PeEL)EBL1994708(OCoLC)958510043(EXLCZ)99433000000004216420180104e20172014 fy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentstirdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierManaging nonprofit organizations in a policy world /Shannon K. Vaughan, Shelly ArsneaultThousand Oaks, Calif. :CQ Press,2017.1 online resource (413 pages) illustrations9781452240053 1452240051 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.If nonprofits influence policy, make policy, are affected by policy, and are subject to policy, then shouldn't every nonprofit manager fully understand the policy world in which they operate? In explicitly tying the policy realm to management skills, Vaughan and Arsneault's foundational book sheds new light on how nonprofit managers can better navigate policymaking and regulatory contexts to effectively lead their organizations. Vaughan and Arsneault provide a comprehensive overview of the nonprofit sector and the policy environment, with a focus on skills and strategies managers can use to advance the causes of their organizations. Abundant examples and rich case studies explore the complexity of the policy-nonprofit relationship and highlight both management challenges and successes.
