This includes the process of initiation, planning, execution, control and close out that all projects share.5282018-09-07T17:22:08Z2024-01-22T14:51:57ZFundamentals of Infrastructure Management<img alt="Read more about Fundamentals of Infrastructure Management" title="Fundamentals of Infrastructure Management cover image" class="cover " width="1026" height="1332" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDUzLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--6f8d5b96c592ff3736c7a8adaf49f63fea2ef15d/0000FunInfMan.png" />The authors believe this free of charge book, Fundamentals of Infrastructure Management, will expand the impact of the material and help improve the practice of infrastructure management. By ‘free of charge,' we mean that the material can be freely obtained, but readers should devote time and effort to mastering the material. We have provided problem assignments for various chapters, and we strongly urge readers to undertake the problems as a learning experience. This book grew out of a decade of co-teaching a course entitled ‘Infrastructure Management' at Carnegie Mellon University. Our teaching philosophy was to prepare students for work in the field of infrastructure management. We believe that infrastructure management is a professional endeavor and an attractive professional career. The book is co-authored by two accomplished engineers - each representing professional practice, academic research and theoretical evaluation. Their collective strengths are presented throughout the text and serve to support both the practice of infrastructure management and a role for infrastructure management inquiry and search. Importantly, both co-authors have academic research interests (and a number of research publications) on various topics of infrastructure management. That said, the primary audience for this book is expected to be professionals intending to practice infrastructure management, and only secondarily individuals who intend to pursue a career of research in the area. The text draws examples and discusses a wide variety of infrastructure systems, including roadways, telecommunications, power generation, buildings and systems of infrastructure. We have found that some common fundamentals of asset management, analysis tools and informed decision-making are useful for a variety of such systems. Certainly, many infrastructure managers encounter a variety of infrastructure types during their professional careers. Moreover, due to the functional inter-dependencies of different infrastructure systems, it is certainly advantageous for managers of one infrastructure type to understand other types of infrastructure. For example, roadway managers rely upon the power grid for traffic signal operation.5432018-09-07T17:22:09Z2024-01-22T19:04:59ZEfficacious Technology Management: A Guide for School Leaders<img alt="Read more about Efficacious Technology Management: A Guide for School Leaders" title="Efficacious Technology Management: A Guide for School Leaders cover image" class="cover " width="510" height="776" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTQxMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--b69435b65d868980a00d999d38b46abf7f0a145d/efficacious.png" />Dr. Gary Ackerman, an educational technology specialist with decades of experience in K-12, community college, and faculty development has released Efficacious Technology Management: A Guide for School Leaders.

In the weekly web conferences, the class comes together in community to discuss the lesson topics, considering the practical applications of the concepts in each subject area.6722019-02-23T01:53:30Z2024-01-22T14:52:28ZManagement Communication<img alt="Read more about Management Communication" title="Management Communication cover image" class="cover " width="825" height="638" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjE2LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--202e96175af7dd17db556c0eb42e49e655f84f3f/0000ManageCom.jpg" />Communication is the heart of business. Short emails, complex reports, private chats, impassioned pitches, formal presentations, and team meetings move information and ideas around an organization, define strategy, and drive decisions. Business communication is concise, direct, clear, and compelling.6932019-04-11T17:57:36Z2024-01-22T14:52:03ZPrinciples of Management<img alt="Read more about Principles of Management" title="Principles of Management cover image" class="cover " width="760" height="987" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjQyLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--9d9e04c694b4e6aed775f3182d1193cd25c649e8/9780998625775.png" />Principles of Management is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the introductory course on management. This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well behavioral areas such as motivation. No one individual can be an expert in all areas of management, so an additional benefit of this text is that specialists in a variety of areas have authored individual chapters.6972019-04-26T18:01:55Z2024-01-22T14:52:03ZBuilding Information - Representation and Management: Fundamentals and Principles<img alt="Read more about Building Information - Representation and Management: Fundamentals and Principles" title="Building Information - Representation and Management: Fundamentals and Principles cover image" class="cover " width="648" height="802" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjQ5LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--5250145163f4505943f6849032bfdd4d9de7a0c1/9789463661607.png" />The book presents a coherent theory of building information, focusing on its representation and management in the digital era. It addresses issues such as the information explosion and the structure of analogue building representations to propose a parsimonious approach to the deployment and utilization of symbolic digital technologies like BIM.8712023-08-18T21:31:24Z2024-01-30T00:45:25ZStrategic Management - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about Strategic Management - 2nd Edition" title="Strategic Management - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="470" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTM0MywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--26cb9ff000ae71b5b6db541a4ed62988c5d6917d/Strategic-Management-2E-350x470.png" />This open source textbook is derived from many sources, initially from the Principles of Management by Carpenter, Bauer, and Erdogan, but there is abundant new content as well. It is published under a Creative Commons license and as such there is no charge ever for this textbook. The most important change from 1e is that static content was removed to make room for student-generated dynamic content. Throughout the book look for the names of contributing students in the red colored example boxes. As the term progresses, you will see new examples appear as fellow students research and summarize topics for current events, all are curated by the instructor.8982020-07-23T16:12:30Z2024-01-22T14:52:18ZFinancial Management for Small Businesses: Financial Statements & Present Value Models<img alt="Read more about Financial Management for Small Businesses: Financial Statements & Present Value Models" title="Financial Management for Small Businesses: Financial Statements & Present Value Models cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTMwNiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--affe0e7228cba33a4706066c76ed40c277b8e6d9/FinancialManagement_Cover_2019Open-350x525.jpg" />This book is for those whose financial management focus is on small businesses. For you, we adapt the traditional financial management themes emphasized in corporate financial management courses to meet the needs of small businesses. Many financial managers of small businesses come from farms or agribusinesses. Others are interested in working for or starting businesses in the food or retail sectors. In most cases, these businesses aren’t organized as C-corporations impacting things like taxes, depreciation, and legal requirements around compiling and reporting financial data. They are rarely publicly traded which creates unique constraints to raising debt and equity capital and calculating required risk-adjusted returns.10602023-06-07T18:13:06Z2024-01-22T19:21:39ZSustainable Property Management<img alt="Read more about Sustainable Property Management" title="Sustainable Property Management cover image" class="cover " width="1028" height="1340" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDE3MiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--522e1ab567e86bd2856e27f7b0b869b949b1a4d8/Cover-SustainablePropertyMgmt.JPG" />Although “sustainability,” as used in the real estate context, is about preserving the environment, it is about more than that. In sustainable property management, sustainability encompasses three spheres—environmental, social, and economic. Sustainable property management is about reconciling these three spheres throughout the operations and maintenance phase of the building lifecycle in such a way that a balance is achieved between economic development and protection of environmental and social resources. This textbook explains how ecologically sustainable concepts may be implemented throughout the various property management operation functions while also considering the other spheres of sustainability. It also incorporates the theme of sustainable building practices as a human science as well as a building science by highlighting motivations and impacts to various stakeholders. The author draws on various industry examples to illustrate these concepts and provides many experiential activities for students to apply these concepts. Sustainable Property Management is intended for students majoring in property management and real estate at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It can be incorporated into an existing property management operations course or used for a stand-alone course focused on sustainable property management. It is available online for free in multiple formats and also as an affordable print edition. Are you reviewing or adopting this book for a course?
