The book provides a complete vision about Spanish sustainable renovation of buildings situation at this moment, analysing legal and technological context and opportunities that economic stimulus ¿by means of direct aids¿ and the use of BIM methodologies offers a standardization of high scale interventions.Nowadays, BIM models let us integrate multiple quantitative parameters that can agile the information to interchange between stakeholders. Using this potential to standardize protocols of interventions and share knowledge is necessary to face a high scale intervention that our cities need.Climatic Emergency and socioeconomic crisis caused by recent events ¿COVID-19 and hydrocarbons crisis¿ are the two principal struggles we face as society. European Politics, embodied by National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) developed by each region give the way to the green transition of different productive sectors.Our building stock is responsible for approximately 36% of the CO2 emissions in the European Union. For this reason, these policies focus a large part of their efforts on economically incentivizing a new development model for the building sector that is committed to the large-scale renovation of the existing real estate stock and that, through the reduction of energy demand and of emissions, manage to reduce the environmental impact of these. Next Generation EU is the new recovery instrument that aims to mobilize investments towards strategic sectors for the reorientation of the production model that, among other measures, contributes to decarbonization through the promotion of energy efficiency and the deployment of renewable energies.

This book provides an in-depth presentation of algorithms for and complexity of open shop scheduling. Open shops allow operations of a job to be executed in any order, contrary to flow and job shops where the order is pre-specified. The author brings the field up to date with more emphasis on new and recent results, and connections with graph edge coloring and mathematical programming. The book explores applications to production and operations management, wireless network scheduling, and timetabling. The book is addressed to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in Operations Research, Operations Management, computer science and mathematics, who are developing and using mathematical approaches to applications in manufacturing, services and distributed wireless network scheduling.

This book is intended to give you a brief look at the way we should all approach the business of dealing with an economic collapse which is inevitable now after the continuous printing of dollars by the current US president, Joe Biden to such an extent that he has produced more dollars in his first year of office, than have ever existed in America or for that matter in the rest of the world, because the dollar is the universal means of exchange worldwide. This he could do because the dollar is not backed by gold and is nothing more than what is called a Fiat Currency and all Fiat currencies are consequently valueless. It is like making money out of bits of newspaper. The collapse of the dollar is now inevitable and, as Jim Rickards tells us this will happen no later than December 13th of 2022 when the government goes "cashless" as they are saying now. And the dollar is replaced by a digital version which will cause chaos around the world in everything financial. We all need to be prepared and this book is telling us how to do this. Buy gold now as soon as you can. Buy it from a reputable dealer like the London Bullion Vault which is accepted worldwide as a reliable place to purchase your gold and is also trusted very much. (You will need to buy some silver coins as well.) Not like the national Central Banks which are manipulating the buying and selling of gold and no-one can be sure of what is going on there. See Bullionstar.com where Raymond Manley describes the problems with several National Central Banks. Contact Paradigm Press for more information about these matters and you should be making good progress.In this book please concentrate on chapters 3 to 7 for a personal and family plan about what you need to do now.

This book focuses on three essential elements of agricultural supply chains: Planting and Growing, Processing and Selling, and Government Interventions. For decades, most agricultural economists applied macro-economic theory in decisions pertaining to the optimization of food production and distribution. However, few researchers used micro-economic theory to examine how individual farmers respond to market information, incentive pricing mechanisms and different market structures in the trade of agricultural goods. Examining challenges in agricultural supply chain operations through the lens of micro-economic theory is imperative because it can enable policymakers and social enterprises to develop and design market information provision policy, incentive contracts and market structures for improving farmer and consumer welfare.In each chapter, contributing authors motivate their research questions by providing the context and articulating the importance of their questions.They present their analysis to examine the respective research questions and explain their results. At the end of each chapter, they provide a short list of future research questions.

Dieses Buch bietet eine prägnante und dennoch umfassende Einführung in die Resilienz von Lieferketten, die Management-, Modellierungs- und Technologieperspektiven abdeckt.

He does so by breaking down each critical skill into digestible, bite-sized sub-skills that you can learn quickly and easily--revealing the secrets to getting things done. Busy leaders don't have time to read one book about hiring, another about delegation, another on time management, and yet another on quality control.

This is that resource. Along with an illuminating Foreword written by Irv Grousbeck, co-developer of Stanford's Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, the book offers timeless and insightful lessons that align with the most important skills organizational leaders need to run their companies.

Getting your pricing strategy right is the difference between sustainable growth, investing in product development, and happy, engaged customers and stakeholders. Harvard Business Review research shows that pricing has almost 4 times as much influence on a company's ability to reinvest than top line sales growth.

With useful tools, and clear, realistic guidance on how to leverage pricing to drive business success, you'll be able to answer the following questions for your business or product:   How much should we charge for our product or service?   How much are our customers willing to pay?   If we increase our price, will we lose customers?   How can setting prices help us cover our costs?   What are the benefits of a pricing strategy?   Will increasing or decreasing prices help my business to succeed?  Covering how pricing works, how to avoid cognitive bias, how to convince others, and many different pricing strategies, Double Your Price includes a practical set of insights, tools, and actionable guidance, and a Foreword by Lord Sainsbury.
