This book is the first of two volumes presenting a business model to add value through Procurement. Including several case studies of successful implementation, it demonstrates how the increasing complexity of the business environment requires a significant intervention on the management of processes and information within individual organizations and through inter-company relations. Agile Procurement presents the application of the Agile method which optimises and digitizes processes in order to reduce wastage and defects. As a method, tool and a culture aimed at effectiveness, efficiency and economy of organisations, agile procurement requires a change of paradigm. This volume examines these areas of improvement and presents best practice in improving processes. Each chapter of the book presents and substantiates the costs and benefits of process improvement through agile procurement. This is is seen as the integration of Lean Six Sigma and digitization.

ZIPPED - Space in small Japanese houses is the result of the collective work experience of 33 youths from Montevideo, all of them advanced architecture students or recently graduated architects, coordinated by Diego Morera and directed by the author. The meticulous task of selecting, collecting, systematizing and redrawing these 80 house designs subject to extremely strict restrictions not only demonstrates the ability of contemporary Japanese architects to devise small residential programs but also reveals their amazing skills for scale, limit and distance manipulation, and immerses us in the infinite interior.

This book presents a business model on how to structure the relationship between financial services and procurement. The need for new models is particularly important to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) where there is an evident difficulty in accessing credit. Due to this context, innovative solutions must be introduced. The objective of this book is to determine how innovation can support the dynamic and volatile international context and the increasingly relevant function of procurement. It is becoming more and more important to take into account complex international transactions with notably long payment terms. Organizations need to manage the best way to handle the financial relationships and the risks related to credit provision and payments. This book presents an end-to-end support to procurement, including trade finance, supply chain finance, and related payments. In addition, the enterprises need to keep sufficient liquidity levels in the short and medium term. This is a constant challenge today, with the turbulence of financial markets and a continuing climate of economic uncertainty making it harder to obtain external funding. Businesses need to optimize the working capital. This can be done through the innovative concept of procurement finance, which allows SMEs to benefit by the new vision of collaborative procurement. This book provides several practical examples of advanced procurement finance solutions. It demonstrates how the use of process improvement and technology can help in overcoming the current financially difficult situation. In addition, based on the business model presented, the integrated approach to procurement finance allows sustainable solutions which will be of interest to academics, researchers, managers, and practitioners in both buyer and vendor companies, as well as in banks and other financial institutions.

Après le décès soudain de son mari Douglas, Caterina, une cantatrice à succès de New York, va s'établir avec son fils Joe en Italie, où elle a autrefois étudié le chant. À Rome, elle atteint le sommet de sa carrière, mais Joe qui a 15 ans se sent seul et abandonné. Il tombe dans la consommation d'héroïne et se met à faire des escapades dans des quartiers peu recommandables de la ville éternelle. Peu à peu Caterina prend conscience qu'elle ne sait absolument rien de son fils. Elle entre dans une crise qui remet en question la façon antérieure dont elle se croyait mère et artiste. Après un entretien avec Mustafa, ami de Joe et trafiquant de drogue, elle change de comportement : elle séduit son fils et, au cours d'un voyage à Parme et aux environs, elle entretient avec lui des relations incestueuses. C'est à cette occasion qu'elle se rappelle le premier baiser qu'elle a donné il y a bien des années à un Italien ; et ainsi Joe apprend pour la première fois le secret sur son père biologique Giuseppe qui est enseignant et vit toujours sur la côte avec sa propre mère. Il lui rend visite et espère réunir à nouveau ses parents. En effet, Giuseppe apparaît à des répétitions d'opéras de Verdi où joue Caterina et à un bal masqué dans les Thermes de Caracalla. Les parents se réconcilieront-ils et Joe guérira-t-il définitivement de la drogue, la question reste obscure, mais au moins le vide de son cœur est surmonté et il peut enfin devenir adulte.

When the State Meets the Street probes the complex moral lives of street-level bureaucrats: the frontline social and welfare workers, police officers, and educators who represent government's human face to ordinary citizens. Too often dismissed as soulless operators, these workers wield a significant margin of discretion and make decisions that considerably affect people's lives. By combining insights from political theory with ethnographic fieldwork as a receptionist in an urban anti-poverty agency, Bernardo Zacka shows us firsthand the predicament in which these public servants are caught up. Public policy consists of rules and regulations, but its implementation depends on how street-level bureaucrats interpret them and exercise discretionary judgment. These workers are expected to act as sensible moral agents in a working environment that is notoriously challenging and that conspires against them. Pressed to cope with the pressures of everyday work, they often and unknowingly settle for reductive conceptions of their responsibilities. Zacka examines the factors that contribute to this erosion of moral sensibility and what it takes to remain a balanced moral agent in such adverse conditions.--
