Download or read book Gaming the System written by James B. Rieley and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2001 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We spend too much time firefighting and fighting among oursleves" ..... "our management meetings are taking too much time, they're just not productive anymore" ....."it was a good idea, but it lacks direction. It has no day to day manager sitting abover it" ...... "these measures have come at the expense of innovation." Sound familiar? These are all real statements from real employees in businesses where the organisation itself, and the priorities that it sets, have become the end and not the means. Places where people do what gets counted, and lose sight of what counts. Optimistic sales projections, creative accounting, fear of risk taking, uneccessary meetings, e-mail "cc" culture, resistance to change, empire building....all symptoms of people playing the organisational game. It comes to every organisation, and it drains resources and squanders opportunities. Are your people doing what needs doing? or doing what gets measured once a month? How many people in your business can't get to the bigger competitive challenges beacause they're busy "firefighting"? This book will explore why and how people play the political game, respond to internal dynamics rather than market movements and work to company deadlines rather than market trends. It will show you how to understand and identify the symptoms of playing the system, mitigate its effects and then act to tackle its causes. It's time to stop playing the organisation game and start playing the competitive game. In a world in which organisations are facing an ongoing struggle to improve their outcomes, it has become increasingly clear that by simply 'cranking up' the productivity targets, their organisational gains are rarely sustainable. Of all the issues facing organisations that are inhibiting this ability, it is the organisational population's ability to 'game the system' that limits the success of initiatives. In order to be able to deal effectively with this issues, managers at all levels need to understand the dynamics at play in an organisation that create the ability to 'game the system,' as well as ways in which to mitigate its effects. Gaming the system occurs on many levels in an organisation, and in many forms. Gaming the System identifies how structures in organisations (both explicit and implicit policies and procedures, stated goals, and mental models) drive behaviours that are detrimental to long-term organisational success. Through the utilisation of case examples, the book shows how to identify these behaviours and develop ways in which to counteract their negative effects that will minimise the long-term personal and organisational potential. The book highlights three core-competencies that can mitigate the negative impacts of organisational gaming the system.
Book Synopsis Gaming the System by : David J. Gunkel
Download or read book Gaming the System written by David J. Gunkel and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaming the System takes philosophical traditions out of the ivory tower and into the virtual worlds of video games. In this book, author David J. Gunkel explores how philosophical traditions—put forth by noted thinkers such as Plato, Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, and Žižek—can help us explore and conceptualize recent developments in video games, game studies, and virtual worlds. Furthermore, Gunkel interprets computer games as doing philosophy, arguing that the game world is a medium that provides opportunities to model and explore fundamental questions about the nature of reality, personal identity, social organization, and moral conduct. By using games to investigate and innovate in the area of philosophical thinking, Gunkel shows how areas such as game governance and manufacturers' terms of service agreements actually grapple with the social contract and produce new postmodern forms of social organization that challenge existing modernist notions of politics and the nation state. In this critically engaging study, Gunkel considers virtual worlds and video games as more than just "fun and games," presenting them as sites for new and original thinking about some of the deepest questions concerning the human experience.

Adam Drake, ein millionenschwerer CEO, hat nach einer qualvollen Vergangenheit sein Leben in die Hand genommen und ein eigenes Computerspiel-Imperium aufgebaut. Das letzte Puzzleteil fügt sich mit seiner neu gefundenen Liebe in sein Leben ein, der brillanten Nerd-Bloggerin Mia Strong. Adam ist in Bestform. Deine Prinzessin ist in einem anderen Schloss. Bis Mia die Sache plötzlich abbricht und Adam im Dunkeln lässt. Er spürt, dass sie seine Hilfe braucht, aber sie ist entweder zu stur oder zu verängstigt, ihn darum zu bitten. Je mehr er versucht, die Kontrolle zu übernehmen, umso weiter scheut sie zurück. Das ist ein Problem, welches er nicht mit einem Scheck oder ein paar cleveren Code-Zeilen lösen kann. Er wird tief graben und sich Gefahren aussetzen müssen ... andernfalls riskiert er, sie für immer zu verlieren. Warnung: Dieses Buch endet mit einem Cliffhanger
