This short book offers a clear and engaging introduction to the history of humankind, from the earliest movements of people to the contemporary epoch of globalization. Cowen traces this complex history in a manner which offers both a compelling narrative and an analytical and comparative treatment. Drawing on a new perspective on global history, he traces the intersection of change in economics, politics and human beliefs, examining the formation, enlargement and limits of human societies. Global History shows how much of human history encompasses three intersecting forces – trading networks, expanding political empires and crusading creeds. Abandoning the limits of a Eurocentric view of the world, the book offers a number of fresh insights. Its periodization embraces movement across continents and across the millennia. The indigenous American civilizations are included, for instance. The book also ranges over the early civilizations of China and Europe as well as the Russian and Islamic worlds. Modern American and Japanese civilizations are, in addition, a focus for attention. The author examines national and regional histories in relation to wider themes, sequences and global tendencies. In conclusion, he seeks to address the question of the extent to which a global society is beginning to crystallize.

In diesem Buch geht es um die soziale Kompetenz, die in der Ausbildung zum Projektmanager und in der Projektmanagementliteratur bisher noch eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt. Projektmanager sind nur dann effektiv, wenn sie den Umgang mit den Menschen beherrschen, wenn die Beziehung zu allen Beteiligten stimmt, zu Auftraggebern, Lieferanten, Partnern und Projektmitarbeitern. Kommunikation, Fuhrungsverhalten und Motivation sind die Grundvoraussetzung der Effektivitat. Dieses Buch vermittelt erprobte Praktiken fur effektives Projektmanagement: – Erfahrenere Projektmanager konnen ihre Fahigkeiten damit erweitern und verbessern; junge Projektmanager erhalten Tipps und Wissen auf ihrem Weg zur Ubernahme von mehr Verantwortung und gro?eren Projekten. – Projektmitarbeitern zeigt das Buch Vorgehensweisen zur optimalen Zusammenarbeit im Projekt. – Studenten und Einsteiger ins Projektmanagement lernen, worauf es jenseits der Techniken und Methoden ankommt, wenn man besondere Aufgaben ubernehmen und bewaltigen mochte. Das Buch hilft Ihnen herauszufinden, wo Ihre Starken und Schwachen liegen, welche Personlichkeitseigenschaften Sie als Projektmanager besitzen mussen, welche Fuhrungsstile die richtigen fur effektives Projektmanagement sind und wie die Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit mit Projektbeteiligten und Team zu gestalten ist. Es zeigt Ihnen aber auch, wo Ihre Grenzen als Projektmanager liegen, und hilft Ihnen zu entscheiden, zu welchen Aufgaben Sie Experten heranziehen sollten.
