Making Sense of the Organization Volume 2

Whenever a desired result is achieved by the cooperation of many independent persons, its existence as a fact is a pure consequence of the precursive faith in one another of those immediately concerned. A government, an army, a commercial system, a ship, a college, an athletic team, all exist on this condition, without which not only is nothing achieved, but nothing is even attempted. A whole train of passengers (individually brave enough) will be looted by a few highwaymen, simply because the latter can count on one another, while each passenger fears that if he makes a movement of resistance, he will be shot before anyone else...

Management in India: Grow from an Accidental to a Successful Manager in the IT & Knowledge Industry

A manager's role can be visualized as a conduit. What your team sees is highly dependent on you, the conduit. You are the primary (not the only) source of information, priority, nature of work, and philosophy for your team. How much of an organization and a management's philosophy is passed on to your team, will heavily depend on you.

Managing the Professional Practice

There is beginning to be a considerable body of resources on how to manage the professional practice that goes beyond the homogenous texts on practice management that rather imply that they are all the same and that there is one route to success. Two early contributions, which broke the mould, are undoubtedly Donald Sch€on’s 1983 book, The Reflective Practitioner, and David Maister’s work, especially his 1993 book, Managing the Professional Service Firm. Yet there are many important issues that remain to be explored in the first place or in greater depth, and this book aims to make a contribution to that development. Diversity in firm structure, strategy and tactical...

Product Innovation Toolbox

These groups fall into at least three classes: market, product and sensory professionals. Of the three classes, two (market professionals and sensory professionals) have well-defined responsibilities. The third class, the “product professional” has eluded a clear definition of who they are and what they do. The market researcher studies the market, to understand market trends, and to discover how the consumer fits into that market. When it comes to products, market researchers focus on how the product and consumer come together for market benefit....

Rethinking Organisational Behaviour

We would like to thank Penelope Woolf (then at Pitman Publishing) for starting us off on this project and for her support in the early stages, and Sadie McClelland for taking over this task at a later stage and being unfailingly supportive and helpful, and remaining cheerful at all times. We must also thank Linda Saddington and Moira Dearden, who inestimably facilitated the production of this book.

Secrets of Successful Writers

We now live in an era where writers can both create and publish their own work and make a living out of doing what they love. Contained within Secrets of Successful Writers are interviews I conducted with fifty authors. They talk about their writing, how they became published authors and how they market themselves in this brave new era of ebooks. These interviews came about as a result of a series of interviews I conducted on my website www.darrellpitt.com

STRATEGIES FOR TOURISM INDUSTRY – MICRO AND MACRO PERSPECTIVES - Murat Kasimoğlu

Today, it is considered good business practice for tourism industries to support their micro and macro environment by means of strategic perspectives. This is necessary because we cannot contemplate companies existing without their environment. If companies do not involve themselves in such undertakings, they are in danger of isolating themselves from the shareholder. That, in turn, creates a problem for mobilizing new ideas and receiving feedback from their environment. In this respect, the contributions of academics from international level together with the private sector and business managers are eagerly awaited on topics and sub-topics within Strategies for Tourism Industry-Micro and Macro Perspectives....

SUPER CRUNCHERS

Orley Ashenfelter really loves wine: When a good red wine ages, he says, something quite magical happens. Yet Orley isn't just obsessed with how wine tastes. He wants to know about the forces behind great and not-so-great wines. When you buy a good red wine, he says, you're always making an investment, in the sense that it's probably going to be better later. And what you'd like to know is not what it's worth now, but what it's going to be worth in the future.

Sustainable Forest Management – Case Studies

The concept of forest sustainability dates from centuries ago, although the understanding of sustainable forest management (SFM) as an instrument that harmonizes ecological and socio-economic concerns is relatively new. The change in perspective occurred at the beginning of the 1990s in response to an increased awareness of the deterioration of the environment, in particular of the alarming loss of forest resources. The main and most striking cause of this deterioration is the deforestation occurring in some areas of the world. Nevertheless, deforestation is not the only reason for the environmental deterioration, since even in regions in which the forest area has increased, other ecological and socioeconomic functions of...

Teams führen – Was ein gutes Team leistet und wie man es zusammenstellt

In den letzten Jahren haben sich die Unternehmen und Organisationen gewandelt. Was heute zählt, sind nicht mehr Hierarchien, sondern eigenverantwortliche Mitarbeiter, die in selbstständigen Teams Spitzenleistungen erbringen. Teamfähigkeit und Teamarbeit stehen daher bei den Personalchefs wie bei den Bewerbern hoch im Kurs: Wer neue Mitarbeiter sucht, fragt natürlich zuerst nach der fachlichen Eignung der Kandidaten; dann aber steht schon die Teamfähigkeit ganz oben an. Wer sich auf Stellensuche begibt, erhofft sich natürlich eine interessante und gut bezahlte Aufgabe. Ebenso wichtig ist den meisten, Teil eines erfolgreichen Teams zu werden....

For many years, I was a financial journalist who wrote for such national media outlets as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and BusinessWeek. I thought that I had covered just about every financial topic imaginable until I realized that I had overlooked one subject.

Praise for The Culture Cycle

An organization’s culture matters a lot. That’s what John Kotter and I concluded from a three-year study of the relationship between corporate culture and performance in the early 1990s. CEOs generally agree, although I’m left wondering whether some of them really believe it or whether it’s something they’ve been conditioned to say when reminded to do so. It’s confirmed by even the best (5-star) investment analysts on Wall Street, a group that we might assume would look only to financial measures in recommending investments. They told us that culture helps corporate performance in higherperforming firms and hurts it in lower-performing firms. 1...

The Lean Sustainable Supply Chain

The supply chain is composed of all the parts of the enterprise and its associated trading partners. The Lean Green Supply Chain is made up of two major components: external and internal. There is a synergy between these two parts. The internal savings can, in some cases, be equal to the external supply chain savings. To exclude the internal improvements that supplement the productivity of the External Lean Supply Chain is to miss out on a major component of longterm sustainability.

THE BUSINESS STUDENT’S HANDBOOK

Most students want to get good marks for their essays, and pass every exam. Most students worry about not knowing enough to do this. Some are right to worry. But you may not realise that your marks depend at least as much on how well you can communicate your knowledge. This chapter looks at how you can use what you know to the very best effect. Getting great marks is a skill in its own right, and is obviously important at university. Less obviously, most of the constituent skills are highly transferable....

The Era of Uncertainty

The recent credit crisis in the United States ushered in a new era of uncertainty. In some ways it was just another bubble in a long line of fi nancial manias. Like any other bubble, it was born out of an extended period of easy money that fueled prosperity, engendered speculation, and ended in a spectacular crash. In some very important ways, however, the lingering impacts are different than the bubbles of recent memory.

The Sea of Lost Opportunity

This book could never have been written without the help, assistance, and encouragement of many people. During the research phase, Professor Alex Kemp and Dr. Richard Perren of the University of Aberdeen gave unstinting help and advice, while Professor Roger Wootton of the City University was generous with ideas and sources. Mr. John Westwood of Douglas–Westwood Associates kindly read the draft.

Thinking through Crisis

In the fall of 1979, I was the starting right halfback on Old Saybrook High School’s varsity field hockey team. The year before had been a season of high expectations but ultimately low achievement for our team, and in the spring most of the starters graduated, moving on to other places. In response, the ’79 season was dubbed a ‘rebuilding year’ by our small-town newspaper, as nearly the entire varsity team was replaced by our less-experienced junior varsity members. Admittedly, we were a pretty motley crew:€jocks, hippies, preppies, and nerds. No one player really excelled; we were all about equal in skill. Yet, what we lacked in the flashy...

Trade Finance during the Great Trade Collapse

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, filed for bankruptcy, marking the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history and the burst of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis. Concerns about the soundness of U.S. credit and financial markets led to tightened global credit markets around the world. Spreads skyrocketed. International trade plummeted by double digits, as figure O.1 illustrates. Banks reportedly could not meet customer demand to finance international trade operations, leaving a trade finance “gap” estimated at around $25 billion. The liquidity problem spread from the United States and the European Union (EU) to developing countries’ markets. As the secondary market dried up in late 2008,...

Trademark Surveys

Thirty years ago, surveys were considered little more than hearsay evidence. Today, however, the use of scientific surveys has gained widespread acceptance within the federal court system. While the predominant use of surveys is seen in trademark actions, surveys also are used in trade dress, trade secrets, truth-in-advertising, Internet marketing, genericness, and even in patent infringement issues.

VISIONS FOR GLOBAL TOURISM INDUSTRY – CREATING AND SUSTAINING COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES- Murat Kasimoğlu

Sustainable tourism, sustainable development through tourism, principles of sustainable development in tourism and tourism development in terms of sustainable tourism, in the literature often treated as names for the same phenomenon, are becoming increasingly interesting for scholars and practicians of tourism from various countries. It results from the fact that sustainable tourism (at least declaratively – on the institutional level) is considered as the most desirable form of tourism development on particular reception areas, especially those which preserved the most natural and cultural authenticity values....

Praise for the Previous Edition of Your Credit Score

When I first started writing about credit scores more than a decade ago, few people knew what these three-digit numbers were or how they worked. Today most people have at least a vague understanding that credit scores are important. But they often don’t realize how important—until they get turned down for a loan or an apartment, or wind up paying more interest or higher insurance premiums than they expected.

Mobile MBA 112 Skills To Take You Further, Faster

An MBA is a curious beast: it can accelerate your career, even if it has limited practical value in day-to-day management. Top employers hire top MBAs, but not because MBAs have mastered the mysteries of management. An MBA is a hallmark of personal commitment, effort, and ambition which employers value more than the actual content of the MBA course. Bayesian analysis, the Black Scholes option pricing model, and advanced corporate strategy are all more important in the MBA course than they are for a manager who is faced with a difficult customer, intransigent colleague, awkward boss, and a tight project deadline....

Modeling High-Frequency Data in Finance

Driven by the necessity to incorporate the observed stylized features of asset prices, continuous-time stochastic modeling has taken a predominant role in the financial literature over the past two decades. Most of the proposed models are particular cases of a stochastic volatility component driven by a Wiener process superposed with a pure-jump component accounting for the

Da es Samstagvormittag und somit die Hauptzeit für den Wochenendeinkauf in den nahe gelegenen Geschäften ist, sind in der Straße viele Kraftfahrzeuge geparkt, was den Verkehrsfluss erheblich beeinträchtigt.
