Qualität ist das Vorhandensein zugesicherter wie auch erwarteter Eigenschaften. Bei einem Softwareprodukt entsprechen die zugesicherten Eigenschaften explizit beschriebenen Anforderungen, deren Umsetzung man überprüfen kann. Die Herausforderung bei erwarteten Eigenschaften, sogenannten impliziten Anforderungen, ist, dass ihre Bedeutung von verschiedenen Interessensgruppen auch unterschiedlich bewertet wird und somit Einschränkungen bzw. das Fehlen einer solchen Eigenschaft auch eine unterschiedliche Kritikalität hat. Der Erfolg eines Softwareprodukts wird, neben dem Grad der Innovation, die es darstellt, wesentlich vom Qualitätsempfinden der verschiedenen Interessensgruppen bestimmt. Um diesen Erfolg steuern zu können sind die Produktverantwortlichen auf eine regelmäßige Messung bzw. Erhebung der Qualitätswahrnehmung durch die wichtigsten Nutzergruppen und die Teams zur Wartung, Weiterentwicklung und ggfls. den Betrieb angewiesen. Aus der Analyse und Auswertung dieser Informationen müssen Verbesserungsmaßnahmen abgeleitet und umgesetzt bzw. eingelastet werden. Die Qualitätsmessungen in den nachfolgenden Zyklen werden dann die Wirksamkeit der umgesetzten Verbesserungsmaßahmen aufzeigen. Ein solches Managementsystem hilft, die Qualität eines Softwareprodukts über seinen gesamten Lebenszyklus hinweg zu kontrollieren, zu steuern und kontinuierlich zu verbessern.Das Buch gibt zunächst einen Überblick über die verschiedenen Qualitätsmerkmale - aus multiperspektivischer Sicht verschiedener Interessensgruppen. Dabei zeigt es Erfahrungswerte aus der Praxis zu möglichen Erwartungen und bewährten Methoden zur Messung und Bewertung der Qualitätseindrücke auf. Im Anschluss beschreibt es exemplarisch und in aller Kürze ein Managementmodell zur entwicklungsbegleitenden kontinuierlichen Optimierung der Produktqualität.

Le economie nazionali del mondo si stanno fondendo in un sistema economico globale interdipendente, comunemente definito globalizzazione. La globalizzazione si riferisce a "uno spostamento verso un'economia mondiale più integrata e interdipendente" (Hill, 2001:5). Questo libro si concentra sull'abolizione delle sanzioni in Sudafrica e sull'apertura delle porte al mercato globale, rendendo l'industria automobilistica molto attraente e competitiva. L'industria si è evoluta passando dalla vendita di 11 marche diverse di veicoli alle circa 55 marche attuali. Ciò significa che il settore si trovava in una fase di crescita del ciclo di vita del prodotto e che i nuovi marchi dovevano competere con un numero crescente di marchi esistenti per aumentare le vendite e la propria quota di mercato. Per mantenere o aumentare la quota di mercato nel settore automobilistico, le aziende devono applicare strategie commerciali differenziate per ottenere un vantaggio competitivo e rimanere competitive. Questo obiettivo può essere raggiunto se le organizzazioni sono organizzazioni ad alto rendimento, di apprendimento e intelligenti. L'autore si concentra su come ottenere il giusto mix per diventare un'organizzazione ad alte prestazioni, di apprendimento e intelligente nel settore automobilistico del Sudafrica e forse anche in altri settori.

La struttura del mercato bancario sta cambiando rapidamente e le autorità di regolamentazione chiedono grandi cose, cercando di far diversificare le banche in attività non bancarie. Le banche che diversificano raccolgono le economie di ampio respiro e possono accedere facilmente ai fondi sul mercato dei capitali. Tuttavia, le conseguenze a breve e lungo termine della diversificazione bancaria rimangono altamente sconosciute e discutibili. Alla fine, questa ignoranza mette a rischio il benessere generale dei consumatori di prodotti bancari. La diversificazione dal punto di vista bancario comporta la deriva verso attività non bancarie, ad esempio attraverso l'acquisizione, un modello chiamato conglomerazione bancaria. Nella maggior parte delle economie emergenti, questo modello è di tendenza e la convinzione prevalente è che quando le banche diversificano o si conglomerano, si mettono al riparo da potenziali rischi di difficoltà finanziarie, proteggendo a loro volta gli investitori. A parità di condizioni, questo obiettivo può essere raggiunto, ma se da un lato questo modello bancario potrebbe aumentare il valore degli azionisti, dall'altro sembra probabile che venga messo in cortocircuito dai responsabili politici, che temono che le banche possano diventare "troppo grandi per cadere".

Oggi la società chiede alle industrie di svolgere attività di Responsabilità Sociale d'Impresa (RSI) e di dimostrare la loro responsabilità contribuendo e sviluppando attività sostenibili. Soprattutto per le aziende agroalimentari, coinvolte in numerosi scandali riguardanti la produzione di alimenti e bevande, è fondamentale lavorare in modo strategico con la RSI, ad esempio utilizzando linee guida etiche, come i codici di condotta (CdC). Gli stakeholder vogliono essere certi che le aziende che utilizzano i codici di condotta etici siano responsabili, mostrino attenzione per i propri dipendenti e garantiscano la sicurezza sul lavoro, evitino la corruzione e proteggano l'ambiente. Questi codici rappresentano gli sforzi aziendali delle imprese per comunicare in modo proattivo e corretto, al fine di dimostrare la loro responsabilità e guadagnare legittimità e reputazione tra i principali stakeholder.

To succeed, the business of the future must have soul. Building Corporate Soul answers the most pressing questions for leaders today: How do I build and sustain a human-centric performance culture? At a time when 10,000 baby boomers retire every day, 79% of employees quit their jobs because they don't feel appreciated at their workplace, and 69% of millennials see a lack of potential for leadership development in their companies, Building Corporate Soul sets out to transform the performance and value of organizations--and to make soulless companies a thing of the past. Ralf Specht's unique framework, The Soul System(TM), aligns value-creating employee behaviors with corporate strategy through shared understanding and shared purpose. Based on the latest research and real-life cases, this actionable framework shows how to build a culture at the workplace that is both human centric and success driven. Specht proves that leadership behaviors that build soul are synonymous with the behaviors that build success. His performance ranking, The Soul Index, confirms that companies that operate within this framework outperform their peers by a factor of 2.6 compared with Dow Jones over 5 years. Building Corporate Soul helps leaders at every level move beyond their current thinking and create an environment in which business goals are well understood and corporations walk their talk. Both this shared understanding and the subsequent shared behavior are critical to turn a company¿s purpose into a real means to an end: superior success and a truly motivated workforce that is proud of its role inside the organization and of its impact on the local community and society overall. You'll see how companies of all sizes (startups and legacy corporations) have made this happen. You'll also learn how every leader, no matter the industry, can ignite (or re-ignite) the corporate soul in their firm. Ralf Specht is a visionary business leader and creator of the Soul System(TM), a framework that aligns value-creating employee action with broader corporate strategy through shared understanding and shared purpose. As a founding partner of Spark44, he was the architect of an innovative, industry-first joint venture with Jaguar Land Rover, which grew under his leadership to a global revenue of $100+m and 1,200 employees before it joined forces with Accenture Interactive in 2021. Previously, he consulted with global companies and brands for more than two decades with McCann Erickson. Besides Building Corporate Soul: Powering Culture & Success with the Soul System(TM), he is the author of the forthcoming book Beyond the Startup: Sparking Operational Innovations for Global Growth.
