High Reliability Management - Operating on the Edge

Zusatztext "The book is a valuable case study, the most intensive to date, of a large electricity grid and has a conceptualization of operational phrases that can be used on other systems." Informationen zum Autor Emery Roe lectures in the Public Affairs and Administration Program at California State University, East Bay. Paul R. Schulman is Professor of Government at Mills College in Oakland, CA. Klappentext High Reliability Management is the first book to provide an in-depth and timely look at the people who manage for high reliability-professionals who run critical systems in electricity, water, and transportation. The book tells of the extraordinary challenges that these "reliability professionals" face in ensuring that society's basic systems operate continuously and safely, even in the wake of errors in policy and technical design. Zusammenfassung Reliability has become a watchword in the business community. It refers to anticipation and resilience organizations' ability to plan for, absorb, and rebound from shocks. This book addresses the severe limits of formal design and technology relative to operational skills, experience, and knowledge.
