A guide for younger R&D chemists as to how they can quickly evolve skills built around three factors -- people, knowledge and time. It covers the management of scientific personnel, management within a variety of R & D organizational structures, creating a climate of innovation, the management of projects including the time management and communication aspects of the job. As such, it teaches the vital managerial aspects of scientific jobs in industry, which are not taught at university, providing a deep and detailed insight into the intricacies of managing research.
The text is divided neatly into four sections:
* Harnessing the Human Resource
* Organising for an Innovative Environment
* Creativity and Innovation
* Project Management of Innovation
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, and thus has a profound first-hand view of staff, companies and organizations in and around the industry.
This third edition has been revised and updated to take into account global developments and recent changes in regulatory affairs.
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.
