It positions policy analysis as a scientific discipline focused on systems analysis in a multi-actor context to support better informed decision-making. The approach presented in this book is considered to be the cornerstone of the curricula of the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management of Delft University of Technology and underlies the research on (the governance of) socio-technical systems. Systems thinking applied in a multi-actor environment and its inherent multi-disciplinary character is what makes this work stand out from traditional hard- and soft systems approaches. The core of the book is dedicated to systems analysis, actor- or stakeholder-analysis and discusses methods for dealing with uncertainty. These analytical activities combined lead to a rich problem description and to plans for further research. Due to the stepwise approach this book serves as a basis for any problem analysis both for our bachelor and master students, our alumni worldwide and any interested practitioners.12402022-08-25T17:49:18Z2024-01-22T14:52:33ZPrinciples of Managerial Accounting<img alt="Read more about Principles of Managerial Accounting" title="Principles of Managerial Accounting cover image" class="cover " width="450" height="675" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzk1MSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--95255503a2a82573823d8ad03666c37bd3f78321/managerial-acct.jpeg" />The University of North Georgia Press and Affordable Learning Georgia bring you Principles of Managerial Accounting.

It's about mapping the customer journey to discover customer needs and wants, what's working and what is not, then taking action to improve the customer experience. Customer loyalty is built through providing exceptional customer experiences. This in turn increases revenues through positive company image, referrals, and increased customer lifetime value. Most organizations today realize that they must focus on the customer to remain competitive.12162022-07-27T14:30:59Z2024-01-22T14:52:32ZLeading Innovation<img alt="Read more about Leading Innovation" title="Leading Innovation cover image" class="cover " width="768" height="845" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzg1OCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--0888f51cbefe55648932843ed07125377f9e5146/cover8-768x845.jpeg" />Innovation today considers the economic, environmental, and/or social sustainability of an innovative initiative from its inception or idea generation through to its commercialization or implementation.
