It explores the influence of contextual factors, including the present socio-cultural and economic changes taking place in Bangladesh, on the choice of conflict management styles of managers in Bangladesh and the factors that might create gender differences in managerial styles. In doing so, the book includes factors such as age, education, managerial hierarchy, gender role orientation, and gender stereotyped organisational environment, as well as biological sex. The book suggests that exhibiting socially expected roles and using conflict management modes do not occur in vacuums. Both factors are intensely affected by socio-cultural expectations governed by a rigid patriarchal system, organisational processes, and the magnitude of individuals' unsatisfied needs. All these factors in various combinations affect the managerial styles of managers, and female managers imitate the well-accepted male managerial styles as a survival mechanism in the workplace. This results in no apparent gender differences in the preference of conflict management styles among managers, though the reasons for choosing a particular style may not be the same for females and males. This book also asserts that globally, organisations are steadily moving away from a mechanistic approach to a more humanistic approach, and with this changing management trend organisations have started appreciating the much -condemned 'feminine quality of relationship-orientation'. The book maintains that this gradual shift is also taking place in Bangladeshi organisations for certain jobs and organisations, and females are becoming sought-after employees. The cumulative effects of all these rapid changes transforming the socio-economic and socio-cultural expectations of the Bangladeshi population are leading to calls for urgent attention to the study of their long-term effects on patriarchy and gender relations in the workplace. This book is a step forward in that direction. ![]() Free Download The Illustrated Bible Story by Story (DK Bibles and Bible Guides) by DK English | February 27th, 2024 | ISBN: 0744097304 | 514 pages | True EPUB | 297.48 MB The greatest story ever told is explored and explained in unprecedented detail inside this spectacular illustrated family Bible. ![]() Free Download Giles Hutchins, "The Illusion of Separation: Exploring the Cause of our Current Crises" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1782501274 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 1.3 mb Our modern patterns of thinking and learning are all based on observing a world of 'things', which we think of as separate building blocks. This worldview allows us to count and measure objects without their having any innate value; it provides neat definitions and a sense of control over life. However, this approach also sets humans apart from each other, and from nature. ![]() Free Download Ying Wang, "The Idiom Principle and L1 Influence" English | 2016 | ISBN: 9027210748 | PDF | pages: 264 | 3.1 mb This book examines delexical verb + noun collocations such as make a decision, give rise to and take care of in Swedish and Chinese learner English. Using a methodological framework that combines learner corpus research with a contrastive perspective, the study is one of the very few in the field to incorporate corpora of the learner's L1 to investigate the effects of L1 influence. The book provides a highly detailed and multi-faceted analysis of delexical verb + noun collocations in terms of frequency of occurrence, lexical preferences and morphosyntactic patterns. Quantitative and qualitative results on overuse, underuse and errors are presented with linguistically and pedagogically relevant interpretations that include cultural and discourse aspects. More importantly, the book throws light on how L2 learners may alternate between the open-choice principle and the idiom principle as well as the extent and nature of L1 influence on their collocational use. ![]() Free Download The Idea Chase: Seven Principles For Breakthrough Innovation by Albert H Segars English | September 13th, 2023 | ISBN: 9811268282 | 284 pages | True EPUB | 2.67 MB 'Breakthrough' innovation is often difficult to achieve. Great ideas hide in places that are not obvious. They often first appear as bits and pieces of fragmented ideas rather than something fully revealed. In addition, the story behind chasing ideas is as elusive as the ideas themselves. Some say that breakthrough innovation is magical, unlearnable, or inborn. It is a wonderful fairy tale of inspiration. However, evidence does not fully support the 'inspiration' hypothesis. A successful Idea Chase is a combination of inspiration and disciplined hard work. These important ingredients cannot be separated, they work together to reveal something that is unseen by others. ![]() Free Download Bradley Lightbody, "The I-Learning Revolution : A New Pedagogy" English | 2012 | ISBN: 0956324517 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 1.3 mb The book revolution failed to change our pedagogy but the internet revolution with immediate access to expert information offers i-learning or independent learning anytime and anyplace.

Lipatov English | PDF | 2002 | 411 Pages | ISBN : 3540417346 | 54.8 MB This book addresses hybrid simulation of plasmas; it is aimed at developing insight into the essence of plasma behavior. Major current applications are to astrophysical and space plasmas. Some applications are connected with active experiments in space. However, hybrid simulations are also being used to gain an understanding of basic plasma phenomena such as particle acceleration by shocks, magnetic field reconnect ion in neutral current sheets, generation of waves by beams, mass loading of the supersonic flow by heavy pickup ions and the dynamics of tangential discontinuities. Such simulations may be very important not only for the study of the astrophysical plasmas, but also for the study of the magnetically and inertially contained fusion plasmas, and other laboratory plasma devices. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, consisting of electrons, ions and 4 neutral atoms, usually at temperatures above 10 K. The stars and sun are plasmas; the local interstellar medium, the solar wind, magnetospheres and ionospheres of planets and comets, Van-Allen belts, etc., are all plasmas. Indeed, much of the known matter in the universe is plasma. ![]() Free Download The Human Body: An Alien's Guide by Ruth Redford English | January 2nd, 2024 | ISBN: 9798887701462 | 48 pages | True EPUB | 17.07 MB Take a journey inside the body-as an alien! ![]() Free Download Russell Miller, "The House of Getty" English | 2011 | ISBN: 1448217520 | EPUB | pages: 560 | 6.0 mb The true story of the Getty family as featured in the TV series Trust and the movie All the Money in the World ![]() Free Download Scott Sawyer, "The House That Love Built: Why I Opened My Door to Immigrants and How We Found Hope beyond a Broken System" English | 2020 | ISBN: 0310355621 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.7 mb 2021 Christian Book Award Finalist |
