Design for flexibility requires anticipation preparation creativity and experience. Future highly digital sociotechnical systems should contrast with those stemming from technology-centered engineering that produces objects and machines with the immensely codified and rigid practices we know today. Most of the time current technologies are designed and developed for normal situations leaving users to manage abnormal and emergency situations themselves sometimes under unforeseen extreme and/or dangerous conditions. Putting humans at the center of the design of flexible sociotechnical systems means visualizing possible futures modeling them simulating them and leading them down the right paths. This book is for the engineering designers who seek to better understand the roles of humans and organizations developing complex life-critical systems. It is also for those who train future designers who will have to take into account the well-being safety sustainability and efficiency of the actors of future sociotechnical systems. It is about an emergent discipline human systems integration (HSI). The aim of the flexibility challenge is to put the artificial at the service of the natural and not the other way around. The author an aerospace engineering designer has worked for 40 years in the field of human-centered design (HCD) of complex systems discovering repeatedly that automation leads to rigidity especially when things go wrong. It is urgent we had a new paradigm where flexibility is a major asset in human systems integration. HCD is seen here as the combination of practices and technologies to come.

This volume seeks to explore the idea of identity as a flexible center of events around which aspects of the self and events in the outside world are organized. Historically in much of the literature identity was conceptualized as a somewhat fixed unchanging construct. Scholars now have a greater awareness of more nuanced theories about identity and there is a greater willingness to accept that identity is not fixed concrete and permanent but rather evolving and fluid. Although this volume discusses a wide variety of aspects of identity as it flexibly changes during adulthood in the face of numerous experiences it is really addressing one key question. How adaptive and fluid is identity and how can we know ourselves as both continuing and changing? Exploring these ideas raises the importance of future research on adult identity. With a firm grounding in the historical and theoretical background of identity research this volume begins by defining identityand the psychological self as a center around which the person's behaviors and self-concepts revolve. The following chapters gather the wisdom of many writers who all accepted the challenge of talking about creating a flexible adult self and identity during adulthood. They come at this challenging question from many different perspectives using different tools. Some survey existing literature and theory then summarize prior work in a meaningful way. Some discuss their own research; some reflect on personal experiences that have demanded a flexible identity. Also included in the coverage are discussions of methodology and validity issues for studies and scales of identity. With its dual focus on research and applied fields ranging across social and personality psychology industrial/occupational psychology cross-cultural psychology mental health existential issues relationships and demographic categories Identity Flexibility During Adulthood: Perspectives on Adult Development is a fascinating and complex resource for psychologists sociologists anthropologists gerontologists and all those interested in our changing identities.

This book brings together a number of contributions examining how changes associated with economic globalization have contributed to the creation of new pressures on and expectations of those fields of law connected to the regulation of cross-border commercial transactions. These new demands of law - in particular that it be more agile or flexible in regulating the economy - have prompted lawmakers and regulators in multiple jurisdictions to adopt a range of new regulatory techniques and legal forms to respond to this challenge. In many cases these adaptations in law have entailed compromising traditional legal principles such as legal certainty in favor of empowering regulators with greater discretion than has traditionally been permitted in modern law. This change raises important questions about the meaning of fairness (certainty or flexibility) as well as the relationship between the public and private good.

The proposed book is intended to provide a conceptual framework of 'Organisational Flexibility and Competitiveness' supported by research studies in various types of flexibilities exhibited by an organisation. The need for enterprise flexibility in an era of rapidly advancing technology increasing competition and globalization is apparent. Flexibility can be thought of as an ability of the enterprise to quickly and efficiently respond to market changes and to bring new products and services quickly to the market place. Beyond this definition a truly flexible enterprise should proactively change the market through its ability to create truly new and innovative products and services. The book applies the concept of flexibility to various functional areas: strategy and competitiveness organization and HR management information systems finance and risk management operations and supply chain management.
