Digital Capital: Harnessing the Power of Business Webs
Harvard Business School Press | ISBN 1578511933 | May 2000 | PDF | 2 Mb | 320 pages

God forbid that doing business and making money on the Internet should bear any resemblance whatsoever to the past millennium of bricks-and-mortar capitalism--that would be too easy. Nope, it's a whole different ball game now, and the new rule is: adapt or die. At least that's the message behind Digital Capital. From the three principal cyberconsultants at the Alliance for Converging Technologies (one of whom, Don Tapscott, authored the bestsellers The Digital Economy and Growing Up Digital), comes a paradigm for global takeover: the business web, or "b-web" for short. In their words, b-webs are "strategically aligned, multi-enterprise partner networks

Immobilien-Portfoliomanagement für die öffentliche Hand

Kurzbeschreibung
Im Gegensatz zum privaten Immobilienmanagement (Corporate Real Estate Management) müssen sich die Organisationen der öffentlichen Immobilienverwaltung (Public Real Estate Management) keinem Wettbewerb stellen, da sie die politischen Vorgaben zur Daseinsvorsorge umsetzen. Dennoch werden die ihnen anvertrauten Immobilien zunehmend als Assets angesehen, deren Wert es zu erhalten bzw. zu steigern gilt. Es müssen also in Zukunft Managementinstrumente eingesetzt werden, die die Bewertung öffentlicher Immobilien und die nachweisbare Optimierung des Gesamtportfolios durch die Entwicklung einzelner Immobilien ermöglichen.Stephan Seilheimer zeigt auf, wie öffentliche Immobilienbestände zu analysieren, zu bewerten und zu steuern sind und wie sie an den Markt herangeführt werden können. Dazu entwickelt er ein fünfstufiges Modell zur Einführung eines kennzahlenbasierten Portfoliomanagements mittels Benchmarking einschließlich eines Bewertungssystems für öffentliche Immobilien. Die Anwendung des Modells in der Praxis wird anhand eines öffentlichen Immobilienportfolios mit 500 000 m Nutzfläche dargestellt und Wirtschaftlichkeit und Effizienz werden über einen Zeitraum von drei Jahren nachgewiesen.

Getting Started in Options (Audiobook)

Michael C. Thomsett, Nelson Runger, "Getting Started in Options (Audiobook)"
Penton Overseas 2001 | ISBN-10: 1560159588 | 2 Hours 25 Minutes | MP3 | 132 MB

Anyone mystified by stock options or who simply dismisses them as too speculative will find Getting Started in Options an excellent first read on the subject. Beginning with the premise that it's not the complexity of the investment but that of its language that makes options difficult for new investors to understand, author Michael C. Thomsett has created a guided tour through the lexicon. The result is a nontechnical introduction to these specialized markets.

The book carefully and completely defines the terminology, explains options investing step by step, and presents strategies so that it is easy to understand at each level of risk involved. Choosing the right stock, buying and selling options, and combining techniques are all covered in increasing complexity, but this is a book for beginners, and those with basic knowledge of the subject will want to seek out more advanced reading.

The biggest drawback of this book is that, for some reason, the text is printed in green ink, making it somewhat more difficult to read and probably impossible for those who are green-colorblind. Publisher, take note!

Kecia M. Thomas - Diversity Resistance in Organizations

Kecia M. Thomas - Diversity Resistance in Organizations
Lawrence Erlbaum | 2007 | ISBN: 0805859632 | Pages: 332 | PDF | 6.27 MB

This is a groundbreaking volume that provides informed, balanced yet frank discussion of US workplace diversity and diversity resistance issues. The chapters in this book put a name on behaviors and practices that have existed in the workplace for a long time, yet until recently have had no name. Further, the majority of the chapters innovatively link existing psychological and organizational factors such as fear, uncertainty, power, emotions, and organizational change and development. The book's editors and authors emphasize that we need to know more about diversity resistance, both in overt and covert forms. To guide us, we can draw on existing research and practice literature that have both theoretical and empirical depth. This timely volume's first chapter deconstructs the growing prevalence of hangmen's nooses as a manifestation of resistance to diversity that is visibly overt, hostile, and interpersonal.The authors also shed light on how nooses surprisingly exemplify diversity resistance that is also frequently covert, subtle, and frequently silent. The book is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students in industrial and organizational psychology, human resources management, diversity management, sociology of work, organizational change, and cultural diversity within organizations. It provides a central resource for classes on prejudice and discrimination in organizations, emotions at work, personnel psychology, strategic human resources management and cultural issues in human resources management. Professionals and practitioners who increasingly interact with diverse employees will find this book essential to their work.

Direktzusage und Pensionsfonds

Kurzbeschreibung
Die betriebliche Altersversorgung hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. Nach internationalem Vorbild wurde der Pensionsfonds eingeführt und die Möglichkeit geschaffen, auf ihn bestehende Direktzusagen steuerlich begünstigt auszulagern. Gleichzeitig wurden beitragsorientierte Leistungssysteme gesetzlich geregelt, die es den Unternehmen erlauben, die Risiken der Altersversorgung stärker auf den Arbeitnehmer zu übertragen.Michael Thaut vergleicht die über einen betriebsinternen Pensionsfonds finanzierte Direktzusagemit dem neu eingeführten klassischen bzw. betriebsexternen Pensionsfonds. Für Neuzusagen analysiert er sowohl leistungsabhängige als auch beitragsorientierte Leistungssysteme und integriert insbesondere die steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen. Es zeigt sich, dass die Vorteilhaftigkeit des jeweiligen Durchführungswegs vor allem vom Aktienanteil des Deckungsstocks und von der Rechtsform des zusagenden Unternehmens abhängt. Für bestehende Direktzusagen untersucht der Autor die Vorteilhaftigkeit einer Umstellung auf den betriebsexternen Pensionsfonds. Es wird deutlich, dass hierbei aufgrund der komplexen Rahmenbedingungen zahlreiche Faktoren eine Rolle spielen.

Toy Monster: The Big, Bad World of Mattel

Jerry Oppenheimer "Toy Monster: The Big, Bad World of Mattel"
Wiley | English | 2009-02-24 | ISBN: 0470371269 | 288 pages | PDF | 1 MB

From Boise to Beijing, Mattel's toys dominate the universe. Its no-fun-and-games marketing muscle reaches some 140 countries, and its iconic products-Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Chatty Cathy, to name a few-have been a part of our culture for generations.

Now, in this intriguing and entertaining exposé, New York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer places the world's largest toy company under a journalistic microscope, uncovering the dark side of toy land, and exploring Mattel's oddball corporate culture and eccentric, often bizarre, cast of characters.

Based on exclusive interviews and an exhaustive review of public and private records, Toy Monster exposes Mattel's take-no-prisoners, shark-infested corporate style. Throughout this scrupulously reported, unauthorized portrait, you'll discover how dangerous toys are actually nothing new to Mattel, and why its fearsomely litigious approach within the brutal toy business has helped their products dominate over potential rivals such as Bratz.

But this is only part of the story. Along the way, you'll also become familiar with the larger-than-life personalities that have shaped Mattel's eccentric world. There's cofounder Ruth Handler, a "one-woman sales-merchandising-promotion-administrative force, a sort of industrial Orson Welles," who becomes a white-collar criminal. There's Jack Ryan, the "Father of Barbie," whose second of five wives calls him "a full-blown seventies-style swinger into wife-swapping and sundry sexual pursuits as a way of life." And don't forget CEO Robert Eckert, who came from the worlds of processed cheese and hot dogs to lead Mattel-only to get grilled by the U.S. Congress, and the world press, in the lead-paint-and-dangerous-magnets cause célèbre.

The American Title Insurance Industry: How a Cartel Fleeces the American Consumer

Joseph Eaton, David Eaton "The American Title Insurance Industry: How a Cartel Fleeces the American Consumer"
NYU Press | English | 2007-08-01 | ISBN: 0814722407 | 287 pages | PDF | 1 MB

"In this important and fascinating book, the authors expose a scam that has fleeced Americans of billions of their hard-earned dollars since World War II. The title insurance industry, they show, has captured its regulators, and imposed exceedingly high costs on American homebuyers by means of a cartel-like arrangement. If that arrangement can be broken, price gouging would end and all American homeowners would enjoy what Canadians and Iowans do-reasonably priced peace of mind."

Progressive Community Organizing: A Critical Approach for a Globalizing World
Routledge | ISBN: 041595780X | 2009-01-13 | PDF | 208 pages | 4 Mb

This interdisciplinary textbook offers a comprehensive view of the central issues facing progressive community organizers who seek to mobilize those negatively impacted by local, national, and global social policies and practices. Intended for both undergraduate and graduate students in social work, it aims to articulate the depth of the subject by introducing students to the philosophical, political, and sociological theories that inform community organizing and advocacy. These topics are explored in detail through such examples as the labor movement, environmental organizing, feminist movements, and faith-based movements as a way to inform social work community practice. The author emphasizes the importance of a thorough understanding of why and how people get together to effect change in their own communities. Ongoing debates and controversies that face organizers and advocates in the social work profession are also considered. Each chapter includes relevant discussion questions for reflection, as well as a list of useful books and websites for further inquiry. Also included are numerous case studies from community efforts in Post-Katrina New Orleans, many of which the author has been involved in herself, providing a recent and widely recognized series of real world examples that will be easily accessible for students and professors around the world.

Accounts Payable Best Practices

Mary S. Schaeffer, "Accounts Payable Best Practices"
Wiley | 2004 | ISBN: 0471636959 | 256 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB

This handy resource provides documented strategies and tactics for accounts payable employed by highly admired companies. Because firms arent always in a position to employ best practices, this practical book presents “Almost Best Practices,” as well as “Worst Practices,” which often leave a firm open to criticism and loss.

From the Inside Flap
The fundamental structure of the accounts payable function reflects a company’s financial integrity, yet so many payable operations in companies aren’t running at peak efficiency. Overlooking only a few weak accounts payable operations can adversely affect a company’s bottom line in a number of ways, from incurring costs to resolve discrepancies and fix errors to receiving fines for failing to comply with escheat or sales and tax rules.

Accounts Payable Best Practices provides businesses and other organizations with a strong sense of where they stand against industry leaders and shows them how to take their services and organizational processes to state-of-the-art levels. Documented strategies and tactics employed by highly admired companies are presented--both successful and unsuccessful--to illustrate the real-world functionality of each process and approach.

Every chapter features a brief explanation of the process or topic being addressed to accompany the discussion of best practices. However, for a variety of reasons, some firms aren’t in a position to employ best practices. To bridge the gap between the latest theory and practice, Accounts Payable Best Practices identifies "Almost Best Practices." These special sections consider that not all practices will work at every company, and they offer successful alternatives to best practices. Also included are discussions on practices that absolutely should not be used, but may be practiced at other companies.

Constance Brown "Fibonacci Analysis (Bloomberg Market Essentials)"

Constance Brown, CMT, distills Fibonacci analysis to two hundred or so comprehensive, clearly written, eminently practical pages. Brown knows exactly what a professional trying to come up to speed on a new trading tool needs and she provides it, covering what Fibonacci analysis is, how it works, where it comes from, pitfalls and dangers, and, of course, how to use it. Basic trading strategies are touched upon in virtually every chapter. Fibonacci analysis is one of the most popular technical analysis tools, yet it is often used incorrectly. Brown quickly clears up common misconceptions and moves on to show, step by step, the correct way to apply the technique in any market. Those with Fibonacci analysis software will learn how to use it with maximum effectiveness; those without will chart the market the old-fashioned way. Occasional references to other tools--including Elliott Wave, W.D. Gann, and candlestick charts--and an extensive bibliography make this book richer for accomplished technical analysts without confounding the less experienced. Plentiful real-life examples and dozens of carefully annotated charts insure every reader will get maximum value from every minute spent with this book.
