Foundation Engineering
A foundation refers to the part of the structure that bears the load of the superstructure (structure above the plinth level) and also transfers the load from the structure to the ground/soil. Foundation engineering is a branch of civil engineering involved in the study and design of structures below the plinth level. It deals with the application of soil mechanics and rock mechanics in the design of foundation elements of structures. The design and construction of a foundation must have the power to sustain and transmit the dead and imposed loads to the soil. Foundations can be classified into four types including shallow foundations, deep foundations, monopile foundations, and individual footings. A foundation that is constructed where the hard strata are extremely near the ground surface rather than deep down the sub-layers of the ground, or the quality of the topsoil is sufficient for bearing is termed as shallow foundation. Continuous wall footings and pad or mat footings are common types of shallow foundations. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of foundation engineering. It will serve a valuable source of reference for students interested in this branch of civil engineering.

Digital Strategies and Organizational Transformation
In today's highly competitive business environments, with the rise of digital businesses and digital economy, digital strategies and organizational changes go hand in hand. Organizations that possess a robust digital strategy benefit greatly from the advancements of emerging digital technologies, and hence, making necessary organizational changes in order to maximise the benefits have become vital for their survival. According to MIT Sloan's Center for Information Systems Research (CISR), '[i]n this period of digital disruption, businesses focused narrowly on value chains are at a disadvantage'. Next-generation enterprises need to think more broadly about their business ecosystems, leverage digitization to understand their customers better, and establish options for future success. Therefore, competitive businesses have started using a variety of digital tools including artificial intelligence, alongside other digital applications, making the required changes to their organizational models and cultures to better serve their customers efficiently and effectively.This book contains a collection of chapters describing these digital strategies and how they go hand in hand with organizational changes. We solicited contributions from well-known academics from universities, business leaders, and experts within businesses and government organizations for this book. The majority of the chapters examines the necessary relationships between these two critical issues. Specifically, this book discusses how to infuse new knowledge into ongoing discourse and debates within academia and business organizations regarding digital strategies and organizational changes, and how to accomplish seamless integration of digital tools and applications into organizational platforms in order to accomplish the required organizational changes smoothly.In summary, this book discusses the integration and implementation of digital technology and the required organizational changes to take advantage of the phenomenon of digitization. In order to create competitive advantage, leadership organizations must address the challenges of formulating and implementing robust digital strategies and simultaneously, start making the required organizational changes, as this book concludes.

Managing Product Innovation in the Process Industries: From Customer Understanding to Product Launch - Uncover the Intrinsic Nature of Developing Non-Assembled Products
This book puts management of product innovation in a corporate strategic perspective and argues that a company's competitive position is strongly related to an underlying unique and continually renewed product innovation work process, which drives innovation and delivery of new or improved products in the marketplace. The book will take the reader through a systematic examination of the necessary consecutive steps for companies' successful development of non-assembled products in the cluster of process industries.For readers in search of a seamless, easy-to-use, effective formal product innovation work process, from customer understanding to product launch, this book provides a guiding framework and 'hands-on' advice for work process design. A novel five-phase structural process model of the product innovation work process is initially introduced in order to orchestrate a more dynamic interaction between product and process innovation and the integration of sustainability and product eco-design in product design.The reader will learn first about the importance of aligning new product ideas with the corporate business model and product innovation strategy during the contextualization phase and then how to transform product ideas into well-defined complementary product and process concepts. In the movement of product ideas from the conceptualization phase to industrialization, the use of pilot-planting and production trials for scale-up of product and process concepts is further explored. To secure a design for processability, a novel industrialization sub-process is introduced, and the integration of complementary development of product and service offerings is further examined. The deployment of application development throughout and after product launch is highlighted for an enhancement of product commercialization and a reduction of 'time to break even' for new products.
