Описание: Understanding the modern complexity of doing business in a globalised market has become an absolute necessity for the survival of a company today. This book is a must have guide to navigate through the sea of overwhelming information and sometimes fuzzy variables in the business world. This book analyses the success and the failures of prominent firms with track records as global leaders. It also presents the proven strategies for success in todays completive environment. The case studies in this book act as invaluable tools. This book is a must-have resource for understanding and achieving success in todays globalised market. This book addresses the issues that firms are desperately trying to solve. In the forefront, firms are striving to effectively respond to the dynamic global market and the intense competition that exists. Strategies for establishing competitive advantage are presented through in-depth research and case studies. Furthermore, an extensive analysis of the methods for penetrating the emerging markets (China, India and Brazil in particular), as well as their responsiveness to the needs of the local market are also presented. In addition, satisfying customers constantly changing needs drive firms to seek ways to be adaptive and responsive. The authors field research provided here aids firms in establishing flexible business production and service processes. This book clarifies the complex inter-connection between business activities, thus providing the insight necessary for strategically being adaptive and responsive. Another strategy presented and examined through case studies is architecture analysis. Through architecture analysis, this book shows how linkage competence keeps firms in a dynamic balance between the seemingly opposing requirements for product attractiveness (ie: customer competence) and technology level (ie: technology competence). Also, IT strategy is utilised to examine the dynamic role of product architecture in supply chain management. This book discusses several examples of Korean global firms (ie: LG, Samsung and Hyundai) and Japanese global firms (ie: Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Panasonic). The reasons for the success of Japanese firms marketing strategies in the Brazilian, Russian, Indian and Chinese markets are expertly analysed and exposed for the readers benefit. Through extensive interviews and fieldwork studies, this book provides practical examples that draw attention to the successful comprehensive manufacturing strategies of Japanese and Korean manufacturing companies. The proven success of integrating core competence, product architecture, global supply chain management and IT strategy is a key theme presented in this book. Indeed, the wealth of information within these pages is immeasurable.
There have been many books on the topic of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) over the last 100 years. They all, however, focus on how to recover more oil faster, taking a rather myopic approach. The solutions presented all work fantastically in theory and even in the laboratory, but each fails to produce results in the field with long-term success. The petroleum industry is almost resigned to the belief that for an EOR technique to be successful, it must be propped up with public funds or must compromise environmental integrity. In line with modern engineering practices, previous books discuss how existing technologies can be tweaked to accommodate for any shortcomings that just came to light. This book is unlike any other book on the topic of recovery in particular and engineering in general.
This groundbreaking volume is a continuation of the author's and his research group's work that started publishing on the subject of global sustainability involving energy and the environment, dating back to early 2000s. Starting with a paradigm shift in engineering that involves a long-term focus, rather than looking for short-term solutions, the methods and theories presented here delve into applying green engineering and zero waste principles to EOR.
Historically, EOR has received mixed success, mainly because innovations in these disciplines relied heavily on processed materials, which are both uneconomical and toxic to the environment. This book explains how engineers missed entirely the causes of unsustainability in these technologies due to the prevalence of many myths that are embedded in modern engineering. Once these myths are deconstructed, the appropriate technologies emerge and the merits of them both in terms of economic and environmental benefits become clear.
The book reveals how previous practices in EOR can be replaced with their sustainable versions while saving in material costs. A number of innovative technologies are introduced that can render well known technologies, such as steam flood, in situ combustion, chemical flooding, and microbial EOR environmentally sustainable and economically attractive. A triple dividend is received once these technologies are applied in otherwise marginal reservoirs, unconventional plays and even abandoned formations. The overall reserve, which reflects recoverable oil with new technologies, goes up drastically. Further benefits are drawn when processes such as value addition of waste material is performed.
Overall this book shows how EOR can be rendered green while increasing the profitability. This is in stark contrast to the past practices that considered environmental integrity as a drain on profitability. This book proves that a paradigm shift can turn a "technological disaster" into a technological marvel.

Описание: Those tasked with the planning and construction of infrastructure and development operations face an increasingly uncertain context in which they must address risks across a number of different fields. These range from the environmental and archaeological to the social, political and financial. As a consequence, the formal and informal practices of stakeholders often incorporate projections of risk and opportunity. Project Risks analyzes this paradigm shift. It reviews the origin and nature of these uncertainties, and the practices implemented by the actors to mitigate or take advantage of them. Paradoxically, these practices generate new risks and power relations that are not compatible with the collaborative planning model. These paradoxes force the rethinking of practices such as project territorialization, risk taking in planning and the responsibility of actors, as well as the societal and political choices that must be made between the realization of projects and the protection of the environment.
