Language: Chinese
Release Date: November 30, 2018

正視現實,我們沒有揮霍重要細節的奢侈! 「探究事情為何出錯的分析文章,讀來總是比讚美歌舞昇平令人激動……這是有趣且令人信服的災難相關案例研究。」——《金融時報》(Financial Times)「當月商業類選書」 曾幾何時,種種造成人心惶惶的事件已成為每日新聞標題:華盛頓特區地鐵衝撞事件。家庭日常用水造成孩子鉛中毒。夏季毫無預警全市大停電。科技公司遭病毒入侵,廠房全面停擺。醫院給藥給錯病患。倫敦星巴克公關宣傳噱頭卻打錯如意算盤。2017年奧斯卡金像獎弄錯得獎影片。記者憑空寫稿,報社無人發現。飛機操縱桿新型流線設計卻造成飛安問題。 乍看之下,這些災難似乎毫無關聯。但令人意外的是,最新研究顯示,上述新聞報導的意外事件與我們日常生活中遇到的失敗(例如不成功的專案、差勁的用人決定、過年過節大餐一塌糊塗等)往往基於類似原因。藉由了解這些潛在成因,我們可以據以設計出更好的系統、使團隊更具生產力,以及改變我們在工作和家庭中做決定的方式。 本書分為兩大部分。兩位作者克里斯.克利菲爾德及安德拉斯.提爾席克將最新發現的社會科學研究,輔以生動的故事(包括福斯汽車的醜聞、奧斯卡頒獎烏龍,以及發生在深至墨西哥灣深處、高至聖母峰山頂的範例),在第一部分向讀者解釋,何以我們的現代系統日益增加的複雜性會導致失敗發生,以及為何我們的大腦及團隊無法跟上。第二部分則審視你我都能採用、看似反直覺的解決方案,探討人們如何從小錯學習、找出大威脅可能正在醞釀之處,並檢視何以多元化能幫助我們避免鑄下大錯。 雖說如此,本書並不是一本失敗之書,而是試圖幫助身負管理團隊之責或是掌管家裡日常大小瑣事的你,提出解決方案。本書將揭示: ★...
