Everyone negotiates all the time, within their family, at work, etc., because they need to get things done with others, reach deals and overcome conflicts. But many people, out there, still lack confidence in negotiating and often get frustrated. Negotiation does not work for them, because they may have never been introduced to the best practices and to sound theories, and, even if they have learnt to be more effective by experience or otherwise, they still wonder where negotiating is leading them, what the point of it all is.This is why Responsible Negotiation will help our audience answer two questions: how to negotiate well, but also why? Our broad readership will discover the true joy of negotiating as they acquire or refine methods not only to become more successful, but also to serve good ends. They will gain both the means and the meaning of negotiating. They will get acquainted with simple, still powerful tools to understand their styles, prepare and run meetings, and communicate actively. As they learn to engage people, solve problems and facilitate processes, they will see how they can use these methods and tools not only to better enjoy their negotiations and get good deals, but also to build strong relationships and creative solutions, while they contribute to a shared society. They will not be ashamed of negotiating any more, but they will feel much better about negotiating, much better than ever before.If you truly care about other people, about inclusion, dignity and respect, about social justice, peace and the environment, about deep values and not only economic value, this book is for you. It stands for negotiation that works for you and is good for all.

Quantum mechanics: from classical analytical mechanics to quantum mechanics, simulation, foundations & engineeringQuantum mechanics is a fundamental subject in physics, often considered to be one of the most conceptually challenging topics. In many undergraduate courses, it is assumed that students are unfamiliar with the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics or the role of probability in Liouville's theorem (analytical mechanics). As a result, quantum physics is typically introduced using heuristic arguments, which can lead to surprising and counterintuitive concepts, and sometimes even incorrect interpretations.This book takes an alternative approach by leveraging classical analytical mechanics to facilitate a natural transition to quantum physics. By introducing and utilising classical mechanics, we provide a solid foundation for understanding quantum phenomena. We discuss important examples within this context and explore both exact and computational methods.Additionally, this book delves into quantum measurement and the transition from the quantum to the classical realm. It also introduces the emerging field of Quantum Systems Engineering, which focuses on the systematic design and construction of quantum technologies, such as quantum computers and sensors.Key features of this textbook include:* Mathematics and Classical Analytical Mechanics: The necessary mathematical background and classical analytical mechanics are introduced gradually, allowing readers to focus on one conceptual challenge at a time.* Deductive Approach: Quantum mechanics is presented on the firm foundation of classical analytical mechanics, ensuring a logical progression of concepts.* Pedagogical Features: The book includes helpful notes, worked examples, problems, computational challenges, and problem-solving approaches to enhance understanding.* Comprehensive Coverage: It goes beyond introductory texts by including topics such as open quantum systems and phase-space methods. Advanced computational methods are also discussed, including good programming practices and code design. Much of the code needed to reproduce figures throughout the book is provided.* Consideration of Foundations: The measurement problem and correspondence principle are addressed only after sufficient material has been introduced to allow for an open and critical discussion.* Introduction to Quantum Systems Engineering: This book provides an accessible introduction and motivation to this framework.This textbook is suitable for undergraduate students in physics and graduate students in mathematics, chemistry, engineering, and materials science.

TEN LAWS OF OPERATIONAL RISKUnlike credit and market risk, operational risk currently lacks an overarching theory to explain how and why losses occur. As a result, operational risk managers have been forced to use unsatisfactory tools and processes that fail to add sufficient commercial value.In Ten Laws of Operational Risk: Understanding its Behaviours to Improve its Management, Michael Grimwade delivers an insightful discussion of the nature of operational risk and a groundbreaking redesign of the profession???s existing tools. The author???s Ten Laws are grounded on the business profiles of firms and the human and institutional behaviours that drive operational risk. They are underpinned by taxonomies for the causes; the inadequacies or failures that constitute both control failures and events; and the impacts of operational risks.Drawing on twenty-five years of first-hand experience and research, this book explains the patterns and trends that are apparent in the historical data and offers solutions to the persistent problems inherent in risk appetite, RCSAs, scenario analysis, reputational risk, stress testing, capital modeling, and insurance. It also provides fresh insights into the everyday activities of risk managers with respect to predictive key risk and control indicators, root cause analysis, why controls fail, the risks posed by change, and product risk profiles.Ten Laws of Operational Risk presents a structured and evidence-based approach to identifying emerging risks and predicting future behaviours related to pandemics, climate change, cybercrime, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. It includes revealing industry data, in-depth case studies, and real-world examples that shed light on recurring and obstinate problems in operational risk management.A must-read resource for Chief Risk Officers and other risk professionals, as well as regulators, management consultants, and students and scholars of operational risk, Ten Laws of Operational Risk provides an invaluable new, systematic, and rigorous approach to operational risk management.PRAISE FOR TEN LAWS OF OPERATIONAL RISK???Operational Risk can no longer be described as a new concept, but as a discipline few attempts have been made to really understand its behaviour. In his book Michael does this very successfully, blending extensive practical experience with analytical thought leadership to propose a set of laws that explain why and how Operational Risks arise, and what can be done to manage them. Assertions are evidence based, with numerous real examples used to underpin his hypotheses. This is a valuable addition to Operational Risk thinking and is recommended for experienced professionals and novices alike.?????? Dr Luke Carrivick, Director of Research & Information, ORX???Michael has established himself as one of Operational Risk???s foremost thinkers. His ability to use historical data to analyse events is unrivalled. In this must-read book, he identifies ten fundamental laws that provide every Operational Risk practitioner with a clear set of rules they can use to understand current events and predict their impacts.?????? Andrew Sheen, former Head of the FSA???s Operational Risk Review team???Michael is one of the most prominent thinkers in Operational Risk. He combines a long career in Operational Risk management and measurement with a deep, long-standing reflection on the fundamental causes, dynamics and patterns in the manifestation of Operational Risk events. He produces, with this book, a remarkable synthesis of his insightful and innovative work.?????? Dr Ariane Chapelle, Honorary Reader, University College London; Managing Partner, Chapelle Consulting???Michael is a highly respected expert in the field of Operational Risk, who has developed some ground-breaking frameworks for analysing this risk and guiding better risk management decisions. As a working practitioner in the field he brings many insights that will appeal to other practitioners as well as regulators, students and scholars.?????? Professor Elizabeth Sheedy, Macquarie Business School???Michael???s views and analysis challenge the traditional Basel II views of Operational Risk and are genuinely thought-provoking. His book on the Ten Laws of Operational Risk will give financial services clarity and a practical view, where it has been previously lacking, on how best to manage such risks.?????? Tin Lau, Group Head of Financial and Strategic Risk, TP ICAP
