Achieving these benefits requires good teamwork, clear communication, intelligent use of resources and a commitment to continuous improvement. This 2006 book shows how lean thinking can be applied in practice, highlighting the key challenges and pitfalls. The authors, based at a leading centre for lean enterprise research, begin with an overview of the theory of lean thinking. They then explain the core tools and techniques and show how they can be applied successfully. The detailed implementation of lean thinking is illustrated by several case studies, from a range of industries, in which the authors had unprecedented access to the management teams. With its focus on implementation and practical solutions, this book will appeal to managers at all levels, as well as to business students and researchers in lean thinking. 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aIndustrial management$vCase studies 606 $aOrganizational change 606 $aCommunication in management 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aIndustrial management 615 0$aOrganizational change. 615 0$aCommunication in management. 676 $a658.202 701 $aRich$b Nick$0739003 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006645303321 996 $aLean evolution$94393110 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03955oam 2200721I 450 001 9910959339903321 005 20251117092129.0 010 $a1-136-24115-9 010 $a1-283-71060-9 010 $a0-203-10267-3 010 $a1-136-24116-7 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203102671 035 $a(CKB)2670000000269271 035 $a(EBL)1046877 035 $a(OCoLC)817887739 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000755002 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12343876 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000755002 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10727242 035 $a(PQKB)10194740 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1046877 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1046877 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10617563 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL402310 035 $a(OCoLC)820818958 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB137261 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000269271 100 $a20180706d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAlternative theories of competition $echallenges to the orthodoxy /$fedited by Jamee K.

Those who have advocated Keynesian-type policies have generally based their arguments on the claim that markets are imperfectly competitive. On the other hand laissez faire advocates have argued the opposite by claiming that in fact free market policies will eliminate ""market imperfections"" and reinvigorate perfect competition. The goal of this book is to enter into this important debate by raising critical questions about the nature of market competition.Drawing on the insights of the cla 410 0$aRoutledge advances in heterodox economics ;$v14. 606 $aCompetition 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aCapital 615 0$aCompetition. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aCapital. 676 $a338.6/04801 701 $aBina$b Cyrus$f1946-$01874129 701 $aMason$b Patrick L$01874130 701 $aMoudud$b Jamee K$01874131 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959339903321 996 $aAlternative theories of competition$94484499 997 $aUNINA
