Books by William B. Rouse

This book includes all of the papers presented at the NATO Symposium on Human Detection and Diagnosis of System Failures held at Roskilde, Denmark on August 4-8, 1980. The goal of the Symposium was to continue the tradition initiated by the NATO Symposium on Monitoring Behavior and Supervisory Control held in Berchtesgaden, F .R.

Aims to provide a methodological framework to the subject by discussing a range of approaches and tools, and by illustrating techniques with case studies. The goal of the authors is to make human-centered design applicable to practical and complex design problems.

Aimed at engineers and managers of technology-based enterprises, this text explains how to solve problems associated with product planning and strategic thinking. It concentrates on the understanding of global markets and the need for companies to be competitive in these markets.

This work aims to uncover the most common delusions - the untested assumptions, short-term focus, and illusions of infallibility - that stand in the way of businesses developing realistic business strategies, and shows how to overcome them.
