    In 2011, Apple officially became the most valuable company of all time. iPod, iPad, iTunes, App Store... the list goes on. Apple's must-have products add up to one giant success story. So what's their secret? What makes Apple the most innovative company on the planet? The answer: Apple does exactly the opposite of what any other company would do. Unlike the competition, Apple develops devices and programs by concentrating on a small number of functions. Forget complex market analyses. Forget asking customers to help develop products. And, unlike Google and other internet giants, it wants you to pay for them. Apple combines traditional business thinking with the endless opportunities of the digital age. In this brave new world where brands and products are dragged into the opinion marketplace, What Would Apple Do? (short and sweet, just how Apple would do a book) brilliantly and concisely reveals how you can learn from Apple to develop compelling business ideas and market them successfully.

    The Production Management is the process of producing products through manufacture of raw materials into finished goods. The concept of production management was invented at the time of industrialisation. 
    Production Management is a broad field and its usage is recognised in multiple areas which are concerned with providing services to the consumers. A Production Manager is required in fields like in Theatres as Stage Manager, Human Resources, Management, Accounting and Financial Management etc. 
    A Production Manager’s job working in an industry is to regulate the design of the product according to the wants of the customers. It also keeps a check on provision of raw materials, work force, money, materials and methods which are important for the manufacture of the desired product.  
    Proper Product Planning and Control is employed to avoid faults in the manufacturing process of the product to prevent the company from passing through the loss phase be it in the case of resources or the reputation that the company has developed over the years of work.  
    The Production Management department of the organisation is said to be the most important part of the organisation. Many other areas of work are affected if Production Management is not carried out properly and therefore is also referred to as the nervous system of an organisation.

    "Finally, a book that recognizes the immense value that introverts bring to the workplace." - Daniel Pink, author of Drive and When 
     
    A prevailing myth is that a big, vibrant personality is needed to succeed in the workplace, but often, the quietest people have the loudest minds. Unfortunately, in our extroverted business culture, introverts can feel excluded, overlooked, or misunderstood. Jennifer Kahnweiler shows that introversion is a source of strength. Just look at Arianna Huffington and Mark Zuckerberg, two introverts who have learned to be themselves and thrive in type-A work environments. 
     
    This revised and expanded second edition draws on new research, interviews, and insights from thousands of introverted leaders, including fresh information on the unique challenges faced by introverted women; how leaders can shape a more inclusive, introvert-friendly workplace; the brains of introverts; and the correlation between introverted leadership and company performance. 
     
    Kahnweiler lays out a well-tested, progressive four-step strategy called "The 4 Ps Process" for succeeding in the workplace by building on your natural quiet strengths. First, preparation: carefully devise a game plan for any potentially anxiety-provoking situation. Then, presence: knowing you're prepared, be completely focused on the present moment. Then, you can push - go beyond your comfort zone. And finally, practice, practice, practice. 
     
    A newly revised quiz helps pinpoint where to amplify your quiet strengths and when to consider flexing your style. Kahnweiler shows exactly how to apply the 4 Ps in areas that can be particularly challenging for introverts - including networking, making presentations, and handling meetings. Aspiring leaders will be able to contribute more fully to their organization while staying true to themselves and serve as models and mentors to others as they move forward in their careers.
