How To Shop For Shi F T

HOW TO SHOP FOR SHI(F)T is the first shopping guide focused on healthier fashion for every budget! The #1 thing people take into consideration when purchasing clothes is the price. "Is it affordable? Is it on sale? Can I get a good deal?" For parents with new borns, the idea of putting healthier fabrics against a babies skin becomes a consideration. People with skin sensitivities and cancer become more aware of the toxins in clothes due to reactions including, but not limited to eczema, hives, migraines, and yeast infections. Sensitivity or not, your skin is your largest organ."Your pores are like tiny little mouthes and whatever you put on them, they eat!" Have you ever taken the time to think about "What's in my tee?" "What is a t-shirt made of?" "What are the INGREDIENTS in a t-shirt?" The purpose of a shop shifting guidebook is to introduce readers, YOU, to better shopping habits, helpful resources, and to give a better understanding of what is in the fabrics you put on your body. This enables you to ask important questions: "How do my clothes affect my health, the health of my family, and the health of the people who make my clothes?" "How can my fashion choices have a positive effect on the world (air, water & soil)?" "How can I #MakeShiftHappen?"

Concurrent Engineering is based on the concept that different phases of a product life cycle should be conducted concurrently and initiated as early as possible within the Product Creation Process (PCP). Its main goal is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the PCP and reduce errors in the later stages, and to incorporate considerations for the full lifecycle, through-life operations, and environmental issues of the product. It has become the substantive basic methodology in many industries, and the initial basic concepts have matured and become the foundation of many new ideas, methodologies, initiatives, approaches and tools. This book presents the proceedings of the 24th ISPE Inc. International Conference on Transdisciplinary (formerly: Concurrent) Engineering (TE 2017), held in Singapore, in July 2017. The 120 peer-reviewed papers in the book are divided into 16 sections: air transport and traffic operations and management; risk-aware supply chain intelligence; product innovation and marketing management; human factors in design; human engineering; design methods and tools; decision supporting tools and methods; concurrent engineering; knowledge-based engineering; collaborative engineering; engineering for sustainability; service design; digital manufacturing; design automation; artificial intelligence and data analytics; smart systems and the Internet of Things. The book provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in transdisciplinary concurrent engineering research and applications, and will be of interest to researchers, design practitioners and educators working in the field.

In Shift, Carlos Ghosn, the brilliant, audacious, and widely admired CEO of Nissan, recounts how he took the reins of the nearly bankrupt Japanese automotive company and achieved one of the most remarkable turnarounds in automotive—and corporate—history. When Carlos Ghosn (pronounced like “phone”) was named COO of Nissan in 1999, the company was running out of gas and careening toward bankruptcy. Eighteen short months later, Nissan was back in the black, and within several more years it had become the most profitable large automobile company in the world. In SHIFT, Ghosn describes how he went about accomplishing the seemingly impossible, transforming Nissan once again into a powerful global automotive manufacturer. The Brazilian-born, French-educated son of Lebanese parents, Ghosn first learned the management principles and practices that would shape his decisions at Nissan while rising through the ranks at Michelin and Renault. Upon his arrival at Nissan, Ghosn began his new position by embarking on a three-month intensive examination of every aspect of the business. By October 1999 he was ready to announce his strategy to turn the company around with the Nissan Revival Plan. In the plan, he consistently challenged the tradition-bound thinking and practices of Japanese business when they inhibited Nissan’s effectiveness. Ghosn closed plants, laid off workers, broke up long-standing supply networks, and sold off marginal assets to focus on the company’s core business. But slashing costs was just the first step in Nissan’s recovery. In fact, Ghosn introduced changes in every corner of the company, from manufacturing and engineering to marketing and sales. He updated Nissan’s car and truck lineup, took risks on dynamic new designs, and demanded improvements in quality—strategies that quickly burnished Nissan’s image in the marketplace, and re-established the company in the minds of consumers as a leader in innovation and engineering. Like the best-selling memoirs of Jack Welch, Lou Gerstner, and Larry Bossidy, SHIFT is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to transform and re-create a world-class company. Written by one of the world’s most successful and acclaimed CEOs, SHIFT is an invaluable guide for business readers everywhere.

This book discusses the socialization of business as a corporate philosophy to understand customers and stakeholders in order to motivate co-creating value-based business performance. Reviewing a wide range of literature, it analyzes emerging theories of agility in business, corporate social responsibility, social learning, and value co-creation. Divided into 5 sections, this volume deliberates upon critical success factors of firms, which include diversity and cross-functionality by managing the triple and quadruple bottom-line. It argues that timely deployment of streamlined crowd-based marketing strategies in chaotic markets enhance the effects of social innovation and reduce growing complexities in global and regional markets. Presenting new insights on developing agile business models using both aggressive (crowd-driven) and defensive (competitive) marketing strategies in the agile business models, this edited work discusses how contemporary businesses adapt to agile strategies and integrate people, profit, and corporate citizenship behavior.

As a narrative therapist, Ros uses wordplay, poetry, drama, drawing, storytelling, and playwriting as techniques to help unravel inner worlds. People feel less threatened by using these techniques rather than questions and digging in the psyche. Peoples stories provide rich material of which they are often unaware. This then becomes the therapy agenda. It renders evidence-based therapy techniques such as cognitive behaviour therapy more effective and is less threatening than direct questioning and drawing outalthough these too have their place in all therapy. They may or may not be aware of the problems their inner story has caused them, is causing them, as their story/ies remain buried deep. Playing with Words or Wordplay helps their story to emerge and live.
