Women in Management Worldwide

Business & Personal Finance

'Excellent', 'Outstanding' and 'Inspirational' were words used to describe the highly acclaimed and award winning first edition of Women in Management Worldwide. Edited by two of the world's most eminent researchers into the role of women in work and management, their findings from around the world confirmed that the glass ceiling was still firmly in place, and there were few women directors or CEOs of large corporations, indeed few in any posts at the top level of private sector organizations. For the second edition of Women in Management Worldwide: Progress and Prospects, Professors Davidson and Burke have assembled over 30 experts replete with facts, figures and analysis, to ensure this expanded and updated edition provides a genuinely cross-cultural global assessment of women in management. This important book examines what has and has not changed, and provides evidence that an understanding of the values, norms and cultural issues bearing on the progress or otherwise of women in organizations is becoming ever more necessary. There is a looming crisis in organizational leadership, with demographic factors and globalization leading to an international talent war. Against that background, continuing bias against women seeking leadership responsibilities means organizations are failing to develop available talent, and when corporations experience economic difficulties the consequences bear disproportionately on women managers. With findings from a broader and more representative range of countries, the editors have arranged this second edition country by country to enable comparisons of the data both between countries and regions and between past, present, and likely futures. Researchers, policy makers, legislators and officials needing an understanding of women's status and progress, as well as those teaching or studying international, cross-cultural and human resources management will need to read this book.

Finance responsable pour une société meilleure

Business & Personal Finance

Toute action publique et privée envers le bien commun devrait être guidée par des principes moraux transparents. Dans notre société, où les marchés financiers jouent un rôle central en s’arrogeant le droit de vie ou de mort sur des pans entiers de l’activité économique, sur la survie des États endettés, les experts de la finance se posent rarement la question de la moralité de ces comportements, de leur compatibilité avec l'intérêt général. Face aux défis majeurs et potentiellement catastrophiques du changement climatique et de la hausse des inégalités, il est indispensable d’orienter le capital global vers des projets créateurs de valeur sociétale. Christian Gollier développe une méthode puissante permettant de traduire nos aspirations morales pour un monde meilleur en outils de gestion financière pour les particuliers et les entreprises. Il propose différentes pistes afin de permettre aux acteurs financiers de mieux contribuer à la construction d’une société meilleure, et répondre aux exigences grandissantes de responsabilité sociétale des entreprises.

Cloud Computing and ROI

Business & Personal Finance

This book develops an IT strategy for cloud computing that helps businesses evaluate their readiness for cloud services and calculate the ROI. The framework provided helps reduce risks involved in transitioning from traditional “on site” IT strategy to virtual “cloud computing.” Since the advent of cloud computing, many organizations have made substantial gains implementing this innovation.

Cloud Computing and ROI: A New Framework for IT Strategy includes case studies covering retail, automobile and food processing industries. Each of these case studies have successfully implemented the cloud computing framework, and their strategies are explained. As cloud computing may not be ideal for all businesses, criteria is also offered to help determine if this strategy should be adopted.

Man, Economy, and State with Power and Market

Business & Personal Finance

The era of modern economics emerged with the publication of Carl Menger's seminal work, Principles of Economics, in 1871. In this slim book, Menger'set forth the correct approach to theoretical research in economics and elaborated some of its immediate implications. In particular, Menger'sought to identify the causal laws determining the prices that he observed being paid daily in actual markets.4 His stated goal was to formulate a realistic price theory that would provide an integrated explanation of the formation of market phenomena valid for all times and places.5 Menger's investigations led him to the discovery that all market prices, wage rates, rents, and interest rates could ultimately be traced back to the choices and actions of consumers striving to satisfy their most important wants by ?economizing? scarce means or ?economic goods.? Thus, for Menger, all prices, rents, wage, and interest rates were the outcome of the value judgments of individual consumers who chose between concrete units of different goods according to their subjective values or ?marginal utilities? to use the term coined by his student Friedrich Wieser. With this insight was born modern economics.

Gucci - Tyttären muistelmat

Business & Personal Finance

Vangitseva perhedraama ja ainutlaatuinen kurkistus maailmankuulun muotitalon kulissien taaPatricia Guccin teos on yhtä aikaa sekä valaiseva katsaus Guccin muoti-imperiumin syntyyn ja satumaisiin menestyksen vuosiin että omakohtaisuudessaan koskettava kertomus tarkoin vartioidusta perhesalaisuudesta.Aldo Gucci loi isänsä perustamasta pienestä paikallisesta käsityöläisyrityksestä Hollywoodin tähtien ja kuninkaallisten tunnetuksi tekemän globaalin brändin. Huiman menestyksen päivinä vauhtisokeus vei kuitenkin miehen mennessään, ja lopulta hänet tuomittiin vankeuteen verolakien kiertämisestä.Hän joutui syrjään perheyrityksen johdosta ja sai seurata, miten seuraava sukupolvi petti hänet ja pakotti koko suvun myymään yhdessä rakennetun muotitalon kansainväliselle sijoitusyhtiölle.Dramaattisen yrityshistorian ohessa Aldo Guccin tytär Patricia kertoo myös isänsä tarkoin varjellun rakkaustarinan, jonka paljastuminen olisi 1960-luvulla johtanut muoti-imperiumin johtajan varmaan tuhoon.Patricia Gucci syntyi Aldo Guccin ja hänen sihteerinsä Brunan salaisen rakkauden hedelmänä 1960-luvun alussa, jolloin perheellisen miehen syyllistyminen aviottoman lapsen hankintaan oli Italiassa rikos. Aldo ei kutenkaan voinut mitään tunteilleen Brunaa kohtaan, ja välttääkseen skandaalin hän lähetti raskaana olleen Brunan synnyttämään Lontooseen. Myöhemmin Aldo järjesti Brunan ja Patrician lähelleen Roomaan, missä hän yritti piilotella heitä Italian viranomisilta, medialta ja omalta perheeltään.Patricia Guccin sydämeenkäyvä kertomus vanhemmistaan ja omasta salatusta elämästään perustuu hänen omiin muistoihinsa ja kokemuksiinsa, hänen äitinsä Brunan haastatteluihin sekä Aldo Guccin ylitsepursuavan runsaisiin kirjeisiin rakastetulleen.Patricia Gucci kävi koulunsa Englannissa, Italiassa ja Sveitsissä sekä opiskeli Yhdysvalloissa. Vuonna 1982 hän sai kutsun Guccin sukuyrityksen hallitukseen, missä tehtävässä hän jatkoi vuoteen 1987 saakka, jolloin yritys myytiin Invetscorpille. Hänen isänsä Aldo Guccin kuoleman jälkeen Patriciasta tuli tämän ainoa perillinen, joka on keskittynyt luomaan omaa uraa erilaisten kirjallisten projektien parissa.

Integral Polity

Business & Personal Finance

Releasing the genius of an individual, an enterprise and a society is a central pre-occupation of the contemporary business environment. A fascinating approach to how we can begin to tackle this challenge is presented by the authors of Integral Polity. Integral spirituality, integral philosophy and the integral age, at an overall or holistic level of consciousness, has therefore become a strong enough idea to form the genesis of a movement over the course of the last half century. Taking as a starting point the ground-breaking work of the Trans4m Centre for Integral Development this book applies such an ’integral’ notion to the realms of business, economics and enterprise. To be successful, an integral approach must recognise the nuances of its environment - an integral approach in India is different from that in Indonesia, or Iceland, and they may in fact complement rather than conflict. Therefore this book also provides a fascinating alignment of such ’integrality’ with, and between different ’southern’ and ’eastern’, ’northern’ and ’western’ worlds. Using case studies ranging across the globe this review of a newly integral theory and practice provides a new lease of life to what may increasingly be perceived as the self-seeking, insulated and occasionally violent and corrupt, realm of the political.

Psychologia pieniędzy. Ponadczasowe lekcje o bogactwie, chciwości i szczęściu

Business & Personal Finance

Większość ludzi myśli, że pieniądze — inwestowanie, finanse osobiste i decyzje biznesowe — to przede wszystkim matematyka. Wystarczy mieć odpowiednie dane i wzory, aby się dowiedzieć, co dokładnie należy robić. Jednak w prawdziwym życiu ludzie nie podejmują decyzji finansowych na podstawie arkuszy kalkulacyjnych. Podejmują je przy stole podczas kolacji albo na firmowym zebraniu, pod wpływem mieszanki takich czynników jak ich osobista historia, unikalny światopogląd, ego, duma, marketing i niezrozumiałe motywacje.

5G and Beyond

Business & Personal Finance

Beyond enabling ultra-fast data transmission, 5G and next-generation networks represent a fundamental transformation in how individuals and organizations connect and interact. The success of these future networks is of interest not just to telecom operators but also to a broader ecosystem--including OTT (over-the-top) service providers, cloud platforms, system integrators, and infrastructure companies. This expanding stakeholder landscape calls for a re-evaluation of conventional telecom regulation in favor of a more adaptable and inclusive framework. 5G and Beyond: Rewiring Telecom Regulation critically examines India's current licensing regime through the lenses of functional separation, diagonal equity, and digital neutrality. Prasad and Sridhar express concern over the growing influence of certain OTT players and argue for regulatory reforms that ensure fairness and flexibility across diverse network services. Core regulatory principles--such as interconnection, spectrum management, net neutrality, and universal access--are revisited in the light of evolving technologies and market dynamics. The authors also explore how their proposed licensing and regulatory framework could be applied to telecom markets beyond India's borders.

Price Theory

Business & Personal Finance

Economics is sometimes divided into two parts: positive economics and normative economics. The former deals with how the economic problem is solved, while the latter deals with how the economic problem should be solved. The effects of price or rent control on the distribution of income are problems of positive economics. The desirability of these effects on income distribution is a problem of normative economics.Within economics, the major division is between monetary theory and price theory. Monetary theory deals with the level of prices in general, with cyclical and other fluctuations in total output, total employment, and the like. Price theory deals with the allocation of resources among different uses, the price of one item relative to another.Prices do three kinds of things. They transmit information, they provide an incentive to users of resources to be guided by this information, and they provide an incentive to owners of resources to follow this information. Milton Friedman's classic book provides the theoretical underpinning for and understanding of prices.Economics is not concerned solely with economic problems. It is a social science, and is therefore concerned primarily with those economic problems whose solutions involve the cooperation and interaction of different individuals. It is concerned with problems involving a single individual only insofar as the individual's behavior has implications for or effects upon other individuals. Price Theory is concerned not with economic problems in the abstract, but with how a particular society solves its economic problems.
