Top Ideas That Move Merchandise

B Berfred, Top Ideas That Move Merchandise
Publisher: N/A | Date: N/A | ISBN: N/A | Pages: 335 | PDF | 1.1MB

An appliance retailer gets an idea - keep the store open until the wee hours for several days running and stage a special price event; "the late bird gets the worm." For reasons rooted perhaps in psychology, the idea clicks. In short order, several giant manufacturers are giving their appliance outlets complete programs for "Sella- thons."
A druggist concludes that it would be a nice gesture to present a little package of baby necessities to mothers of newborn babies. Soon several giant manufacturers are packaging these gift assortments at the factory and building complete marketing programs around them.
A food outlet, in its nonfood section, bands certain soft-goods items in lots of twos and threes and gives them a special price. The "two-f er" idea is born and this, in time, leads the giant Coca-Cola to the development of the six-pack as well as leading innumerable manufacturers in other merchandise classifications to the development of new concepts in size of sales unit.
Some nonfood outlets get the notion that, since food produces enormous traffic, why not add food? The direct result the fastest- growing outlet for food today is the nonfood outlet and die food processors have had to adjust their marketing programs accordingly.
The vast suburban shopping center started as a retail idea. It has revolutionized the total marketing process of practically every manufacturer of consumer merchandise.

Praise for The Myths of Innovation:

"…Small, simple, powerful: an innovative book about innovation."
--Don Norman, Nielsen Norman Group, Northwestern University; author of Emotional Design and Design of Everyday Things

"The naked truth about innovation is ugly, funny, and eye-opening, but it sure isn’t what most of us have come to believe. With this book, Berkun sets us free to try to change the world unencumbered with misconceptions about how innovation happens."
--Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start

"This book cuts through the hype, analyzes what is essential, and more importantly, what is not. You will leave with a thorough understanding of what really drives innovation."

Die Reihe Managementkonzepte versucht den Dialog zwischen Praxis und Wissenschaft sowie zwischen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zu fördern. Es geht um die Publikation theoriegeleiteter und praxisrelevanter Konzepte aus den Bereichen Lernen, Bildung und Entwicklung (Organisations-, Management- und Personalentwicklung). / Kaum etwas erscheint widersprüchlicher als Führung und Kunst hier die scheinbare rationale Führungskraft, die ihre Mitarbeiter zur Erreichung des größtmöglichen Profit treibt, dort der freischaffende Künstler, der sich von nichts und niemandem etwas vorschreiben lässt.

Das Vorschlagswesen: Von der Mitarbeiteridee bis zur erfolgreichen Umsetzung

Wolf-Bertram von Bismarck , "Das Vorschlagswesen: Von der Mitarbeiteridee bis zur erfolgreichen Umsetzung"
Hampp, R | 2009 | ISBN: 3879885273 | 351 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB

Nur die wenigsten Unternehmen nutzen die kreativen Potentiale des Erfolgsfaktors Mitarbeiter effektiv. Und auch mit dem Vorschlagswesen gelingt es kaum einem Unternehmen seine Mitarbeiter zielgerichtet zu mobilisieren. Denn die mangelnde Ausrichtung dieses traditionsbelasteten Instruments auf die Anforderungen und Bedürfnisse der Mitarbeiter hat das klassische Briefkastenmodell in einen einsamen Dornröschenschlaf versinken lassen. Daher wurde in einem Großunternehmen ein innovatives Vorgesetztenmodell gestaltet und implementiert. Die Mitarbeiter besprechen ihre Ideen mündlich mit ihrer Führungskraft und setzen sie anschließend weitgehend selbstständig um. Mit dieser Vorgehensweise wird auf die kooperative Beziehung zwischen Mitarbeiter und Führungskraft abgezielt und eine Plattform zur kontinuierlichen Verbesserung bereitgestellt. Das vorliegende Buch beschreibt, wie das klassische Vorschlagswesen zu einem führungsorientierten Tool ausgestaltet wurde, welches den Mitarbeitern kreative Freiräume schafft und ihnen die Möglichkeit gibt, sich aktiv am Betriebsgeschehen zu beteiligen. Es hat sich vom Meckerkasten zu einem Führungsinstrument der kreativen Partizipation entwickelt.

Internationales Personalmanagement: Neue Aufgaben, neue Lösungen

Hampp, Mering | 2005 | ISBN: 3879889058 | 364 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB

Die mit dem Schlagwort der Globalisierung beschriebenen Wandlungsprozesse machen auch vor der Arbeitswelt nicht Halt und stellen das Personalmanagement vor neue Aufgaben. Hierzu gehören etwa grenzüberschreitende Fusionen und strategische Allianzen, die Zusammenarbeit in multinationalen und oftmals virtuellen Teams, grenzenlose Karrieren, weltweite Führungskräfteentwicklung, globales Outsourcing sowie die Schaffung von Koordinationsinstrumenten eines common glue , die die weltweit verstreuten Unternehmensteile zusammenhalten. Das vorliegende Buch greift diese Entwicklungen auf und stellt aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse und Lösungsansätze in verschiedenen Aufgabenfeldern des internationalen Personalmanagement vor. Die internationale Ausrichtung spiegelt sich nicht nur in der Wahl der Themen, sondern auch in der Zusammensetzung der Autoren wider. International renommierte Forscher und führende Personalmanagementexperten aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum greifen von der üblichen Sichtweise abweichende theoretische Ansätze, empirische Ergebnisse und praktische Entwicklungen auf und machen so neuere Entwicklungen im internationalen Personalmanagement sichtbar.

Einführung in die finanz- und kapitalmarktorientierte Personalwirtschaft

Wilhelm Schmeisser, Alois Clermont, Thomas R Hummel, Dieter Krimphove, "Einführung in die finanz- und kapitalmarktorientierte Personalwirtschaft"
Hampp, R | 2007 | ISBN: 3486584855 | 164 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Die entscheidungsorientierten, personalwirtschaftlichen Kalküle des Buches basieren auf den Daten der Lohn- und Gehaltsabrechnung, der Buchhaltung und der Kosten- und Leistungsrechnung. Die Methoden und Instrumente der finanzorientierten Personalwirtschaft beruhen auf der Philosophie des Shareholder-Value-Ansatzes. Damit lässt sich die finanzorientierte Personalwirtschaft in die Tradition der Ökonomisierung der Personalwirtschaft einordnen. Dabei wird das bisherige Personalcontrolling konsequent in einer ganzheitlichen Vorgehensweise durch die finanzwirtschaftliche Sichtweise erweitert. Typische Instrumente dieses Bezugsrahmens sind der Berliner Balanced Scorecard Ansatz, die Humankapitalbewertung und die Wertschöpfungsrechnungen für Unternehmen. Dazu gehören aber auch die Komponenten des Entgeltmanagements wie Aktienoptionsprogramme, Kapitalbeteiligungsmodelle der Mitarbeiter oder die betrieblichen Altersversorgungsmodelle. Personalkostensenkungsmaßnahmen können mit einem verbesserten Prozessmanagement und einer Prozesskostenrechnung behoben werden. Weitere finanzielle Möglichkeiten ergeben sind durch Tarifverhandlungen bis einschließlich des Personalabbaus mit Hilfe eines Sozialplans oder Outsourcing-Maßnahmen. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und an Praktiker im Personalwesen.

This book is short, fast, sharp and ready to make a difference. It takes no prisoners, spares no quarter, and gives you no place to hide, all at the same time.

Kritischer Erfolgsfaktor Körper?

Jana Leidenfrost, "Kritischer Erfolgsfaktor Körper?"
Hampp, Rainer | 2006 | ISBN: 3866180489 | 411 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB

Die Reihe Managementkonzepte versucht den Dialog zwischen Praxis und Wissenschaft sowie zwischen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zu fördern. Es geht um die Publikation theoriegeleiteter und praxisrelevanter Konzepte aus den Bereichen"Lernen","Bildung"und"Entwicklung"(Organisations-, Management- und Personalentwicklung). Wer Leistung will, muss Leben fördern! Diese Erfahrung kennen viele aus dem Sport, der Wissenschaft und dem Business. Andererseits stehen gerade Wirtschaftsunternehmen vor der Herausforderung, vor allem reibungslos zu funktionieren! So wird der aktuellen Wirtschaftslage und dem daraus resultierenden Erfolgsdruck verstärkt mit einer Erhöhung der Geschwindigkeit und Kürzung der Ressourcen (Geld, Zeit, Personal) pariert."Wir sind gestartet wie zu einem 100m Lauf, laufen noch immer die gleiche Geschwindigkeit, aber wissen jetzt, dass es mindestens ein Marathon wird", so eine Führungskraft aus dem oberen Management. Die Zwickmühlen zwischen gestellten Anforderungen und verfügbaren Ressourcen, zwischen Karriere und Gesundheit, zwischen Funktionieren und Lebendigsein haben damit zu einer ungewollten Renaissance des Körpers im Management geführt. Der Körper, mit dem Manager und Managerinnen"Rückgrat zeigen"müssen, einen"festen Stand"brauchen und"beherzt"an die Aufgaben gehen wollen, reagiert unfreiwillig mit Befindens- und Leistungsstörungen. Von dieser Problemstellung geht die Autorin in ihrer Untersuchung bei Führungskräften aus. Sie berührt damit Fragen zum Management individueller und kollektiver Leistungsressourcen: Wie müssen wir haushalten, so dass Führungskräfte und deren Teams dauerhaft leistungsfähig und vital bleiben? Welchen Einfluss hat dabei die gelebte Unternehmenskultur? Wie lassen sich Fragestellungen der Ressourcenorientierung,"Work-Life-Balance"und Gesundheitsförderung in leistungs- und wettbewerbsdominierte Unternehmenswelten gewinnbringend integrieren? Dieses Buch liefert umfassende Einblicke in die Wechselwirkungen zwischen selbstverantwortlichem Verhalten und der Unternehmenskultur sowie in konkrete Ansätze für ein gelungenes Leisten und Leben in unseren Unternehmen.

Hampp, Rainer | 2006 | ISBN: 3866180926 | 220 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB

Kurzbeschreibung
Mentoring kann in Zeiten des strategischen sowie demographischen Wandels überlebenswichtige Ressourcen und bisher nicht gesehene und für wichtig erachtete Wissenspotenziale der jungen Generation von Hochschulabsolventen unkonventionell und schnell aufgreifen. Dabei zeigt sich Mentoring zunehmend als ein kostengünstiges und nachhaltiges Rekrutierungsinstrument und kann flankierend Personalentwicklung ergänzen, welches sich insbesondere für kleinere und mittlere Unternehmen in ihren strategischen Optionen als günstig erweist. Mentoring hat schon lange Überlegungen, die sich allein auf die Gestaltung des Verhältnisses von Mentee und Mentor beziehen, verlassen und beschäftigt sich zunehmend mit Fragen der Personalgewinnung und Personalenwicklung. Der Band vereint verschiedene Beiträge zur Personalgewinnung von jungen Graduierten, zeigt unterschiedliche Beispiele für Mentoring und einer prospektiv orientierten Personalentwicklung auf. Wichtige Themen, die in den Beiträgen aufgegriffen werden, sind u.a.: - Generation Praktikum und ihr Eintritt in den hoch qualifizierten Arbeitsmarkt - Mentoring und die Entwicklung von innovativen Projektarbeiten innerhalb von Mentoring-Programmen - Mentoring und die Ausbildung zum Projektmanager - Personalentwicklung und die Förderung wissensbasierter Tätigkeiten - Ausdifferenzierung von verschiedenen Mentoringtypen - Mentoring und Aspekte der Einbindung von organisationalem Lernen Entwicklungsoptionen von Peer- Mentoring

Plume | 1996 | ISBN: 0525939040 | 320 pages | PDF | 78 MB,2

An authority on learning techniques and the brain offers a groundbreaking, fully illustrated program for tapping and freeing the mind's hidden powers, showing ways to improve memory, concentration, and creativity. National ad/promo.

From Publishers Weekly
This idea-rich, relentlessly upbeat manual proffers graphic images as an aid to unlock creative thinking or clarify emotions. Drawing loosely on brain research, learning theory and information science, English business consultant/TV personality Tony Buzan (Use Both Sides of Your Brain) and his brother Barry, a professor of international studies, first outline "radiant thinking," a method designed to enhance one's associative, nonlinear thought processes. Next they explain how to create "mind maps"-colorful, structured, drawings, cartoonish or complex-as a tool to overcome mental blocks, organize ideas, brainstorm, strengthen one's memory and imagination, and make meetings more productive. Despite its inflated claims and cluttered presentation, this unusual how-to, replete with exercises, quizzes, dramatic color photos of patterns in nature, and sample mind maps, will challenge and stimulate the open-minded.

Since 2002, world economic expansion has had a strong positive impact on growth and helped support progress towards the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Most developing countries have benefited from this growth momentum as a result of strong demand for their exports of primary commodities and, to an increasing extent, of manufactures. However, global economic imbalances continue to pose a risk to the outlook of the world economy. Much depends on the ability of developing countries to adopt more proactive policies in support of capital formation, structural change and technological upgrading, and on the latitude available to them in light of international rules and disciplines. The Trade and Development Report 2006 offers relevant ideas and general principles for designing macroeconomic, sectoral and trade policies that can help developing countries to succeed in todays global economic environment.

Professionalisierung Sozialer Arbeit durch Qualitätsmanagement?: Eine Studie zur Effektivität und Effizienz von QM-Systemen

Anke Maywald, "Professionalisierung Sozialer Arbeit durch Qualitätsmanagement?: Eine Studie zur Effektivität und Effizienz von QM-Systemen für den Sozialen Bereich"
Diplomica Verlag | 2009 | ISBN: 3836673169 | 106 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

In Zeiten erhöhten Kostendrucks muß sich die Soziale Arbeit mehr denn je die Frage nach ihrer Wirtschaftlichkeit stellen. Die aktuelle Methode der Wahl, dem Aspekt der Wirtschaftlichkeit genüge zu tun, scheint das Qualitätsmanagement zu sein. Dieses Mittel der Neuen Steuerung war und ist der Versuch, auf die desolate Lage öffentlicher Kassen zu reagieren. Für den Bereich der Jugendhilfe bedeutet dies, dass sie "ihre Handlungsweise stärker als bisher auf den >Output< beziehen" soll (Merchel 1999). Wie jedoch z.B. >Output< konkret im Sozialen Bereich zu definieren ist und wie die aus der Betriebswirtschaftslehre stammenden Begriffe wie Effizienz und Effektivität auf den Sozialen Bereich übersetzt werden können (und wo dies Sinn macht) soll in der vorliegenden vergleichenden Studie anhand zweier gängiger Systeme des Qualitätsmanagements erarbeitet werden. Nicht zuletzt gilt es die spannende Frage zu beantworten, welches der beiden Systeme geeigneter ist, die Professionalität Sozialer Arbeit zu fördern. Hierzu wird zunächst der aktuelle Stand der Professionalisierung Sozialer Arbeit kritisch aufgerollt, um dann zu diskutieren, wodurch die Entwicklung von Sozialer Arbeit einen Schub erhalten könnte und wodurch QM hierzu einen Beitrag leisten könnte. Erstmalig werden an dieser Stelle aus den Zielen Sozialer Arbeit abgeleitete Effektivitäts- und Effizienzkriterien Sozialer Arbeit entwickelt und deren Erfüllungsgrad durch die DIN EN ISO - Norm mit dem Erfüllungsgrad durch den AWO - Tandem Ansatz verglichen. Das Ergebnis zeigt, wie es möglich ist, mit einem werte-integrierten Managementsystem auf den erhöhten Kostendruck zu reagieren, gleichzeitig wirtschaftlich und ethisch zu sein und zur Professionalisierung Sozialer Arbeit beizutragen.

Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less by Sam Carpenter

Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less by Sam Carpenter
Greenleaf Book Group Press | 2009 | ISBN: 1929774877 | English | 304 pages | PDF | 2.15 Mb

Winner of the 2009 New York Book Festival's award for general non-fiction

Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less was originally self published in soft cover by the author in April 2008 and had modest distribution as it was sold only via the author's website. ''Work'' was picked up by Greenleaf Book Group in the Fall of 2008, thoroughly re-edited, and released to book stores in hard cover May 1, 2009.

Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less will guide you in streamlining the interlaced systems that drive every aspect of your work--and your life. The first key to freedom and wealth is to stand ''outside and slightly elevated'' from your business or job to see the sub-systems that compose it. Then the task is to, one by one, perfect each of these internal systems.

While providing exact direction for creating a culture of ''system improvement,'' the author interlaces his own story of moving from 100-hour workweeks to 2-hour workweeks, while multiplying his monthly income by a factor of 25. Through all this he was the single parent of two children.

The strength of the book lies in convincing the reader to ''get'' the systems-mindset. Then, it provides exact instruction for revitalizing an organization through fostering organizational efficiency, creating simple documentation and getting staff to enthusiastically ''climb on board.''

What Carpenter teaches is simple yet profound: Achieve a positive macro result by working on a micro level.

The Game-Changer: How You Can Drive Revenue and Profit Growth with Innovation

The Game-Changer: How You Can Drive Revenue and Profit Growth with Innovation by A.G. Lafley, Ram Charan, Jason Culp (Reader)
Publisher: Random House Audio; Abridged edition (April 8 2008) | ISBN: 0739358375 | Language English | Audio CD in MP3/64Kbps | 358 MB

How you can increase and sustain organic revenue and profit growth . . . whether you’re running an entire company or in your first management job.

Over the past seven years, Procter & Gamble has tripled profits; significantly improved organic revenue growth, cash flow, and operating margins; and averaged earnings per share growth of 12 percent. How? A. G. Lafley and his leadership team have integrated innovation into everything P&G does and created new customers and new markets.

Through eye-opening stories A. G. Lafley and Ram Charan show how P&G and companies such as Honeywell, Nokia, LEGO, GE, HP, and DuPont have become game-changers. Their inspiring lessons can help you learn how to:

• Make consumers and customers the boss, not the CEO or the management team
• Innovate to grow a mature business
• Develop higher growth, higher margin businesses
• Create new customers and new markets
• Revitalize a business model
• Reach outside your own business and tap into the abundant brainpower and creativity of the world
• Integrate innovation into the mainstream of your managerial decision making
• Manage risk
• Become a leader of innovation

We live in a world of unprecedented change, increasing global competitiveness, and the very real threat of commoditization. Innovation in this world is the best way to win—arguably the only way to really win. Innovation is not a separate, discrete activity but the job of everyone in a leadership position and the integral, central driving force for any business that wants to grow organically and succeed on a sustained basis.

This is a game-changing book that helps you redefine your leadership and improve your management game.

*Starred Review* Blessings to Procter & Gamble—or, more exactly, its chairman and CEO, A. G. Lafley. Together with Charan, author of Know-How (2007) (and the most probable successor to management guru Peter F. Drucker), he defines, describes, draws examples of, and delineates how innovation became a part of not only the behemoth consumer-packaged-goods company but also part of Lego and Nokia (among others). Lafley is remarkably candid; the story of his “surprise” ascent to CEO-dom in 2000, taking over from Durk Jager, is the story of transformation. A number of commandments accompanied the company’s innovationcentric strategy: the consumer is boss, inside and outside cocreation is encouraged, the innovation process is tangible (and must be followed), and risks can be managed. Most important is his emphasis on human interaction as the key; even better, the last section focuses exclusively on developing a culture of innovation, from promoting the rules of brainstorming to the desired attributes for employees and leaders: courageous, connected and collaborative, curious, open. Sidebars are worthy of posting on a bulletin board; in fact, this is a sustainable reference on innovation that will be hard to beat. --Barbara Jacobs

Going on the idea that experience is the best teacher, Phalon (a Forbes magazine contributing editor) has rounded up 10 mini-essays profiling the business ideals of some of Wall Street's most successful investors. Each chapter opens with a photo, along with a caption explaining the mogul's claim to fame. The author pays homage to eccentrics (like Hetty Green, a feared stock picker in the late 19th century) and simple geniuses (including George Doriot, whose formula "bet the jockey, not the horse" was his lasting contribution) alike, making this an interesting if not pragmatic guide to investing.

Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions and Hurtful Acts

Carol Tavris, "Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions and Hurtful Acts"
Pinter & Martin Ltd | 2008 | ISBN: 1905177216 | 304 pages | PDF | 43,4 MB

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they make mistakes? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell? Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right - a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong. Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)" offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception - how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.

"By turns entertaining, illuminating and - when you recognise yourself in the stories it tells - mortifying."
- The Wall Street Journal

Mathematical Methods for Financial Markets

Monique Jeanblanc, Marc Yor, Marc Chesney, "Mathematical Methods for Financial Markets"
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1852333766 | 732 pages | PDF | 5,8 MB

Mathematical finance has grown into a huge area of research which requires a lot of care and a large number of sophisticated mathematical tools. The subject draws upon quite difficult results from the theory of stochastic processes, stochastic calculus and differential equations, among others, which can be daunting for the beginning researcher.

This book simultaneously introduces the financial methodology and the relevant mathematical tools in a style that is mathematically rigorous and yet accessible to practitioners and mathematicians alike. It interlaces financial concepts such as arbitrage opportunities, admissible strategies, contingent claims, option pricing and default risk with the mathematical theory of Brownian motion, diffusion processes, and Lévy processes. The authors proceed by successive generalisations with increasing complexity assuming some basic knowledge of probability theory. The first half of the book is devoted to continuous path processes whereas the second half deals with discontinuous processes.

The extensive bibliography comprises a wealth of important references and the author index enables readers quickly to locate where the reference is cited within the book, making this volume an invaluable tool both for students and for those at the forefront of research and practice.

The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave: How to Recognize the Subtle Signs and Act Before It's Too Late

AMACOM | 2005 | ISBN: 0814408516 | 240 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

More than 85% of managers believe employees leave because they have been pulled away by "more pay" or "better opportunity." Yet, more than 80 percent of employees say it was "push" factors related to poor management practices or toxic cultures that drove them out. This gaping disparity between belief and reality keeps organizations from addressing the costly problems of employee disengagement and regrettable turnover with on-target solutions.The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave gives readers a deeper understanding of why conventional exit interviewing doesn't work, and what organizations can do to identify, prevent, and correct the root causes of these problems. This valuable book shows how to avoid job-person mismatches, how to align employee expectations with the realities of the position and the company, how to provide constructive feedback and coaching that breeds employee confidence, and much more.The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave incorporates data from surveys of 19,700 employees performed by the Saratoga Institute, an internationally recognized research organization.

Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance

Nouriel Roubini, Stephen Mihm, "Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance"
Penguin Press HC | 2010 | ISBN: 1594202508 | 368 pages | epub | 1,1 MB

This myth shattering book reveals the methods Nouriel Roubini used to foretell the current crisis before other economists saw it coming and shows how those methods can help us make sense of the present and prepare for the future.

Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini electrified his profession and the larger financial community by predicting the current crisis well in advance of anyone else. Unlike most in his profession who treat economic disasters as freakish once-ina-lifetime events without clear cause, Roubini, after decades of careful research around the world, realized that they were both probable and predictable. Armed with an unconventional blend of historical analysis and global economics, Roubini has forced politicians, policy makers, investors, and market watchers to face a long-neglected truth: financial systems are inherently fragile and prone to collapse.

Drawing on the parallels from many countries and centuries, Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Mihm, a professor of economic history and a New York Times Magazine writer, show that financial cataclysms are as old and as ubiquitous as capitalism itself. The last two decades alone have witnessed comparable crises in countries as diverse as Mexico, Thailand, Brazil, Pakistan, and Argentina. All of these crises-not to mention the more sweeping cataclysms such as the Great Depression-have much in common with the current downturn. Bringing lessons of earlier episodes to bear on our present predicament, Roubini and Mihm show how we can recognize and grapple with the inherent instability of the global financial system, understand its pressure points, learn from previous episodes of "irrational exuberance," pinpoint the course of global contagion, and plan for our immediate future. Perhaps most important, the authors-considering theories, statistics, and mathematical models with the skepticism that recent history warrants- explain how the world's economy can get out of the mess we're in, and stay out.

In Roubini's shadow, economists and investors are increasingly realizing that they can no longer afford to consider crises the black swans of financial history. A vital and timeless book, Crisis Economics proves calamities to be not only predictable but also preventable and, with the right medicine, curable.

Market Data Explained: A Practical Guide to Global Capital Markets Information

Marc Alvarez, "Market Data Explained: A Practical Guide to Global Capital Markets Information"
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2006 | ISBN: 0750680555 | 136 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

This book is intended to provide a guide to the universe of data content produced by the global capital markets on a daily basis. Commonly referred to as "market data", the universe of content is very wide and the type of information correspondingly diverse. Jargon and acronyms are very common. As a result, users of marker data typically face difficulty in applying the content in analysis and business applications. This guide provides an independent framework for understanding this diversity and streamlining the process of referring to content and how it relates to today's business environment.

The book achieves this goal by providing a consistent frame of reference for users of market data. As such, it is built around the concept of a data model - a single, coherent view of the capital markets independent of any one source, such as an exchange. In particular it delineates clearly between the actual data content and how it is delivered (i.e., realtime data streams versus reference data). It shows how the data relates across the universe of securities (i.e., stocks, bonds, derivatives etc.). In this way it provides a logical framework for understanding how new content can be added over time as the business develops.

Special features:

1. Uniqueness - this is the first comprehensive catalog and taxonomy to be made available for a business audience
2. Industry Acceptance - the framework described in this book is implemented as a relational data model in the industry today and used by blue chip multinational firms
3. Comprehensiveness - there are no arbitrary distinctions made based on asset class or data type (the legacy approach). The model presented in this book is fully cross asset and makes no distinction between data types (i.e., realtime versus historical/reference data) or sources
4. Independence - the framework is an independent, objective overview of how the data content integrates to provide a coherent view of the data produced by the global capital markets on a daily and intra-day basis. It provides a logical framework for referring to the content and entities that are so intrinsic to this industry

*First and only single, comprehensive desk reference to market data produced by the global capital markets on a daily basis
*Provides a comprehensive catalog of the market data and a common structure for navigating the complex content and interrelationships
*Provides a common taxonomy and naming conventions that handles the highly varied, geographically and language dependent nature of the content

Jean Dreze, Amartya Sen - The Political Economy of Hunger: Volume 3: Endemic Hunger

Jean Dreze, Amartya Sen - The Political Economy of Hunger: Volume 3: Endemic Hunger
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | 1991-11-28 | ISBN: 0198286376 | PDF | 416 pages | 51.68 MB


"The authors are highly respected and the series draws on an extraordinary data base and comparison between countries....This series forms the most definitive recent analysis of the problems of hunger and deprivation in the three continents of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The range of issues and countries covered is nothing short of extraordinary....Meticulously argued....Attention to detail sets these studies far above other contemporary writing on hunger and deprivation. Equally the series is welcome for its criticism of economic growth and food production to the exclusion of equity and distribution."--Dissent
"A valuable companion to the first two excellent volumes, all desirable additions to upper-division undergraduate and gradaute collections."--Choice
WIDER The World Institute for Development Economics Research, established in 1984, started work in Helsinki in 1985, with the financial support of the Government of Finland. The principal purpose of the Institute is to help identify and meet the need for policy-oriented socio-economic research on pressing global and development problems and their inter-relationships. WIDER's research projects are grouped into three main themes: hunger and poverty; money, finance, and trade; and development and technological transformation. Volume III deals with the strategic options for the elimination of endemic hunger. The topics covered include: the comparative extent of hunger and deprivation in different parts of the world; the influence of food production; the interconnections between economic growth and public support; the role of economic diversification in reducing vulnerability; the potential impact of direct public provisioning on living standards; and the politics of public action. In addition to general analyses, the book examines the international relevance of a number of specific country experiences in Asia, Africa, and Latin America (including those of China, India, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Kenya, Bangladesh, and Nigeria).

Antoin E. Murphy - John Law: Economic Theorist and Policy-Maker

Antoin E. Murphy - John Law: Economic Theorist and Policy-Maker
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | 1997-10-02 | ISBN: 019828649X | PDF | 408 pages | 10.64 MB


Despite his popular reputation as a rake and a gambler, John Law (1671–1729) left a remarkable legacy of economic concepts at a time when economic conceptualization was very much at an embryonic stage. His vision of a monetary and financial system was more of the twenty-first rather than the eighteenth century. Law believed in an economy of banknotes and credit where specie had no role to play. He was the first economic writer to use concepts such as demand and supply, the demand for and supply of money, the money-in-advance requirement, the circular flow of income, and the law of one price. Law was able to implement his economic theory in the form of economic policy during the Mississippi System that he created. This produced Europe's first stock market boom and crash. The collapse of the Mississippi System and closely afterwards the crash of the South Sea Bubble led to a lasting impression of Law as a failure. This book seeks to dispel this view.

More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite

Sebastian Mallaby, "More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite"
Penguin Press HC | 2010 | ISBN: 1594202559 | 496 pages | PDF | 3,1 MB

The first authoritative history of hedge funds-from their rebel beginnings to their role in defining the future of finance.

Based on author Sebastian Mallaby's unprecedented access to the industry, including three hundred hours of interviews, More Money Than God tells the inside story of hedge funds, from their origins in the 1960s and 1970s to their role in the financial crisis of 2007- 2009.

Wealthy, powerful, and potentially dangerous, hedge fund moguls have become the It Boys of twenty-firstcentury capitalism. Ken Griffin of Citadel started out trading convertible bonds from his dorm room at Harvard. Julian Robertson staffed his hedge fund with college athletes half his age, then he flew them to various retreats in the Rockies and raced them up the mountains. Paul Tudor Jones posed for a magazine photograph next to a killer shark and happily declared that a 1929- style crash would be "total rock-and-roll" for him. Michael Steinhardt was capable of reducing underlings to sobs. "All I want to do is kill myself," one said. "Can I watch?" Steinhardt responded.

Finance professors have long argued that beating the market is impossible, and yet drawing on insights from physics, economics, and psychology, these titans have cracked the market's mysteries and gone on to earn fortunes. Their innovation has transformed the world, spawning new markets in exotic financial instruments and rewriting the rules of capitalism.

More than just a history, More Money Than God is a window on tomorrow's financial system. Hedge funds have been left for dead after past financial panics: After the stock market rout of the early 1970s, after the bond market bloodbath of 1994, after the collapse of Long Term Capital Management in 1998, and yet again after the dot-com crash in 2000. Each time, hedge funds have proved to be survivors, and it would be wrong to bet against them now. Banks such as CitiGroup, brokers such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, home lenders such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, insurers such as AIG, and money market funds run by giants such as Fidelity-all have failed or been bailed out. But the hedge fund industry has survived the test of 2008 far better than its rivals. The future of finance lies in the history of hedge funds.

Case Studies in Project, Program, and Organizational Project Management

Wiley | 2010 | ISBN: 0470183888 | 528 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

The ever expanding market need for information on how to apply project management principles and the PMBOK contents to day-to-day business situations has been met by our case studies book by Harold Kerzner. That book was a spin-off from and ancillary to his best selling text but has gained a life of its own beyond adopters of that textbook. All indications are that the market is hungry for more cases while our own need to expand the content we control, both in-print and online woudl benefit from such an expansion of project management "case content". The authors propose to produce a book of cases that compliment Kerzner's book. A book that offers cases beyond the general project management areas and into PMI's growth areas of program management and organizational project management. The book will be structured to follow the PMBOK in coverage so that it can not only be used to supplement project management courses, but also for self sudy and training courses for the PMP Exam.

Intercorporate Relations: The Structural Analysis of Business

Mark S. Mizruchi, Michael Schwartz, "Intercorporate Relations: The Structural Analysis of Business"
Cambridge University Press | 1992 | ISBN: 0521437946 | 344 pages | PDF | 8,5 MB

This volume constitutes the first compilation of work by leading international scholars who have adopted a structural approach to the study of business. It argues that corporate behavior cannot be understood in terms of the actions of individual firms alone, and that in order to understand how businesses operate, it is necessary to explore the relationships among them. It contains position statements by leading spokespersons for the two major structural perspectives on intercorporate relations--the resource dependence and social class views; essays on markets, money, and relations between corporations and cities; analyses of business structures in Europe, Latin America, Japan and the United States; and a chapter on transnational business relations. The volume as a whole will demonstrate to a wider public the significance and value of a structural approach to business studies.

The Art of Choosing

The Art of Choosing
Publisher: Hachette Audio | ISBN: 1600248101 | 9CDs | Length: 10 hours 31 mins| March 1, 2010 | Mp3 64kbps | 289MB

Iyengar's inquiry into choice—why we value it, how we make it, and why it matters—is poorly served by this choppy reading. The cross-cultural study featuring the author's own research emphasizes how crucial is the perception of choice to our mental and physical health, and is filled with the sort of chatty asides to the listener that would recommend it for an audio version. Unfortunately, Orlagh Cassidy reads with a jarring pacing and emphasis, which makes minor points sound portentous, and the pedantic quality and singsong cadence give her the air of a primary school teacher. Her tongue trips on Hindi and Punjabi words (and even on the author's name)—which make the book's many autobiographical sections ring false.

Wendy E. Parmet - Populations, Public Health, and the Law
Publisher: Georgetown University Press | 2009-06-15 | ISBN: 1589012615 | PDF | 292 pages | 10.73 MB


Law plays a crucial role in protecting the health of populations. Whether the public health threat is bioterrorism, pandemic influenza, obesity, or lung cancer, law is an essential tool for addressing the problem. Yet for many decades, courts and lawyers have frequently overlooked law's critical importance to public health. "Populations, Public Health, and the Law" seeks to remedy that omission.The book demonstrates why public health protection is a vital objective for the law and presents a new population-based approach to legal analysis that can help law achieve its public health mission while remaining true to its own core values. By looking at a diverse range of topics, including food safety, death and dying, and pandemic preparedness, Wendy E. Parmet shows how a population-based legal analysis that recalls the importance of populations and uses the tools of public health can enhance legal decision making while protecting both public health and the rights and liberties of individuals and their communities.

The mortgage meltdown: what went wrong and how do we fix it?
Owning a home can bestow a sense of security and independence. But today, in a cruel twist, many Americans now regard their homes as a source of worry and dashed expectations. How did everything go haywire? And what can we do about it now?

This authoritative volume explores what went wrong in every critical area, including securitization, loan origination practices, regulation and supervision, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, leverage and accounting practices, and of course, the rating agencies. The authors explain the steps the government has taken to address the crisis thus far, arguing that we have yet to address the larger issues.
