Infos

Mastering management skills is hard to achieve by newcomers starting their careers in the chemical industry. The message coming from there is that good chemists swiftly have to become good managers if they are to survive and progress in today's competitive climate.
This book is designed to help guide younger R & D chemists to ways in which they can quickly evolve skills which are built around three factors - people, knowledge and time. It covers the management of scientific personnel, management within a variety of R & D organisational structures, creating a climate of innovation, the management of projects including the time management and communication aspects of the job.
The author, Peter Bamfield, is now working as a consultant. Due to his long experience in the chemical industry, he was elected President of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Industrial Affairs Division.
This second edition of the book has been revised and updated to take recent global developments and restructuring in the chemical industry into account, as well as the rising importance of information technology in management.
Zu einer Karriere in der chemischen Industrie gehören natürlich hervorragende wissenschaftliche Fähigkeiten. Was außerdem nötig ist aber nicht an der Universität gelehrt wird, finden Sie in diesem Buch, denn Karriere macht heute nur noch derjenige, der sich auch schnell zum guten Manager entwickelt.
Die Wege dorthin zeigt Peter Bamfield. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die drei wichtigsten Faktoren: Menschen, Wissen und Zeit. Behandelt werden Themen wie die Führung wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter, Management innerhalb einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Organisationsstrukturen und Projektmanagement einschließlich Zeitmanagement und Kommunikation.

Der Autor arbeitet nach einer langen, erfolgreichen Laufbahn in der Industrie jetzt als Consultant und ist außerdem Präsident der Industrial Affairs Division der Royal Society of Chemistry.
