A S Watson Group (ASW), its health and beauty retail arm commonly known as "Watsons" in Asia, traces its humble beginnings back to a matshed colonial apothecary shop called the Hong Kong Dispensary (the "Dispensary") when it was set up back in 1841. This book unlocks the secrets and transformations of ASW from a colonial chemist to the number three global player in health and beauty retailing. How was ASW able to pull through each and every global or national crisis it faced in the 180 years to emerge more robust and vibrant? In Part One of this book, Patrick vividly describes Watson's globalization journey over the past 180 years. He details how Watsons survived the waves of social unrest, civil wars, global financial turmoil, political crisis, and pandemics that confronted the world. One of the most exciting developments in this history took place from 1999 to 2006 when ASW achieved quantum leaps and consolidated its position as a leading global drug store chain under Wade's leadership. In Part Two of this book, Patrick analyzes the corporate management practices of Watson. He articulates Andrew Chi-Fai Chan's "Left-and-Right Circles" theory behind Ian Wade's branding strategy. He further draws upon Wade's other "Prosperity Strategies" in parallel with the "4+2" Formula" advocated by Nitin Nohria et al. Over the past fourteen years, the global market has undergone tremendous changes in China, Asia, and Europe. And with it, ASW has undertaken a pragmatic growth approach to dodge the headwinds of the subprime mortgage crisis, the Eurozone crisis, China-US decoupling, Brexit, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

【簡介】 This third and final volume in our Mathematics for Engineers series serves as a companion text to the third-semester mathematics preliminaries for students and lecturers in electrical engineering and other engineering disciplines.Ordinary and partially differential equations play a central role in graduate engineering courses. This topic is one of the main focus of the third volume. In addition to describing engineering problems using differential equations, we analyze signals produced by oscillations and vibrations. This requires frequency analysis of the signals, which leads to the topic of Fourier series for periodic signals and Fourier transform for non-periodic signals.This volume provides students at universities and colleges with a vivid presentation of these topics as a practical aid to higher mathematics. Mathematical terms are clearly motivated, systematically equated and visualized in many animations. A large number of examples and applications illustrate and deepen the material, and the numerous exercises (with solutions on the book’s homepage) make it easier to prepare for exams.

【簡介】 Your one-stop shop for world-class results The most admired organizations in the world have the same basic resources that you have―offices, computers, pencils, pens, phones, Internet, people. The primary difference is the way they use those resources. How do successful organizations consistently succeed? We witness their extraordinary results, but the secrets often remain hidden. In Lead With Your Customer, authors Mark David Jones and J. Jeff Kober offer the key success tools all world-class organizations have in common and explain how your organization can adopt them. To understand their customer-first approach, they offer the World Class Excellence Model―the result of decades of success as leaders at the Walt Disney Company and years of experience and research working with over two dozen Fortune 500 companies. The authors explain how “world class” status can be attained by many organizations, and isn’t the domain of only the most expensive, luxurious, or popular brands. 【目錄】

【簡介】 Creating Transparent AIFrom agriculture to transportation, entertainment to medicine, and banking to social media, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how humans do practically everything. We experience AI in our daily lives through our fitness trackers, home digital assistant systems, and curated news services, to name a few examples. For talent development, this is no different.The fields of artificial intelligence and talent development have been on a collision course for decades, and their convergence has already occurred. It has just taken many in our profession some time to recognize this fact. On the horizon, AI-powered innovations are transforming the workplace and the role of the talent development professional, affecting recruiting to training to compensation. As such, there are actions TD professionals should take now to prepare ourselves and our organizations for the evolving AI revolution.In AI in Talent Development, Margie Meacham describes the benefits, uses, and risks of AI technology and offers practical tools to strengthen and enhance learning and performance programs. In layman's terms, Meacham demonstrates how we can free time for ourselves by employing a useful robot "assistant," create a chatbot for specific tasks (such as a new manager bot, a sales coach bot, or new employee onboarding bot), and build personalized coaching tools from AI-processed big data. She concludes each of the six chapters with helpful tips and includes a resource guide with planning tools, templates, and worksheets.Meacham dispels fear of AI's black box--the term used to describe its unknowability and opacity--and points out ways AI can help us be better at creativity and critical thinking, what we humans do best. 【目錄】

"Nonlinear waves are essential phenomena in scientific and engineering disciplines. The features of nonlinear waves are usually described by solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs). This book was prepared to familiarize students with nonlinear waves and methods of solving NLPDEs, which will enable them to expand their studies into related areas. The selection of topics and the focus given to each provide essential materials for a lecturer teaching a nonlinear wave course. Chapter 1 introduces ""mode"" types in nonlinear systems as well as Bäcklund transform, an indispensable technique to solve generic NLPDEs for stationary solutions. Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to the derivation and solution characterization of three generic nonlinear equations: nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, and Burgers equation. Chapter 4 is devoted to the inverse scattering transform (IST), addressing the initial value problems of a group of NLPDEs. In Chapter 5, derivations and proofs of the IST formulas are presented. Steps for applying IST to solve NLPDEs for solitary solutions are illustrated in Chapter 6. Sample Chapter(s) Preface Contents: Nonlinear Waves Formulation of Nonlinear Wave Equations in Plasma Characteristics of Nonlinear Waves Inverse Scattering Transform (IST) Basis of Inverse Scattering Transform Solitary Waves Readership: Graduate and senior graduate courses on nonlinear waves, also relevant as a reference book for researchers, research labs and academic institutes."
