Cohen, Steve M. Mess Management Lessons From A Corporate Hit Man Steve Cohen Human Resources
1452058660 / 9781452058665 AuthorHouse 2010-09-01 First Edition Paperback Used: Good Paperback
This first edition paperback book was published in 2010 by AuthorHouse with 162 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. There is normal shelf and edge wear. The front cover is creased at both corners. There are a couple of dog eared pages. Mess Management: Lessons from a Corporate Hit ManWhat's the worst thing that can happen when you fire someone? If the disgruntled ex-employee returns with a gun. What's the next worst thing? If the irate former employee comes back with an EEOC or State Human Rights Commission complaint. Most employees are good people, but there are plenty of men and women in the work place with personal demons. Some are simply mismatched to their roles. Some have addictions to drugs, booze, and sex. Some have severe health problems. There are others who are toxic because they are skilled manipulators, users, and takers. Many of these people wreak daily havoc in the workplace and may be working for you right now. Is your business at risk? If you are the owner or operator of a business, you must face some hard truths about people problems. When a conflict occurs-and it will-your employees will almost automatically have federal and state government agencies, courts, and even public opinion stacked against your company. What do you have? If you don't have an in-house human resources manager, you must quickly become adept at the real duties of that all-important role. Why? Conflicts can turn into expensive legal nightmares if they aren't handled quickly and professionally. Luckily, most of your people problems are not destined to be legal problems. Most messes are management problems. Mess Management: Lessons from a Corporate Hit Man sheds much-needed light on successfully eliminating the real problems when business owners and nonprofit leaders confront the sex, drugs, and rock and roll side of human resource management. Using key scenarios collected from real cases with organizations across the country, author and HR guru Steve Cohen provides vital management solutions coupled with related information on legal/regulatory requirements, that will help you resolve even the stickiest employee issues you may face.

David McCord Wright The Keynesian System Millar Lectures No4 David McCord Wright Economics HB 2ndPRT
Fordham University Press 1964 First Edition Hardcover Used: Good Hardcover Standard Hardcover
This hardcover book is the SECOND PRINTING of the FIRST EDITION that was published in 1964 by the Fordham University Press with 104 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is tight. The covers are sunned around the edges. No dust jacket. The rear top corner is bumped. The spine panel near the rear hinge has a one inch closed tear. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMISTS, when handling problems of income determination, economic fluctuations and economic growth, almost exclusively treat those problems within the Keynesian income-ex-penditure analytical framework. Even those economists who reject many of the Keynesian hypotheses concerning income determination, nevertheless use the Keynesian framework as a tool of analysis......Keynes, writing in the mid-1930's, rewrote the right-hand side of the equation of exchange, breaking down PQ into its expenditures components: consumption and investment. By so doing Keynes was able to focus our attention upon some of the underlying causes of the depression of the 1930's, namely, consumption and investment demand insufficient to maintain full employment. The postwar world, however, is not that of the mid-1930's. The economic problems of our generation are those of inflation and economic growth. These problems, while discussed within a Keynesian framework of analysis, call for economic models having assumptions different from those of Keynes and his followers......The basic Keynesian model states that output in the economy will be determined by consumption, investment and government demand for goods and services. Consumption is a function of output. Government expenditures are autonomous. Investment demand is a function of the rate of interest and the marginal efficiency of capital. The rate of interest is determined by the demand for and supply of speculative cash balances. Since consumption is determined by the level of output, and the investment schedule is relatively interest-inelastic, output and employment will not be affected significantly by monetary policy. Fiscal policy is therefore viewed as the principal means of either increasing or decreasing total demand, and consequently output in the economy......The preceding description of the basic Keynesian model and of its policy implications is, surprisingly enough, still held by many economists today. Theoretical and empirical developments of the last decade tend to cast considerable doubt as to the validity of this model. Recent studies tend to show that the investment schedule under many circumstances may be quite responsive to interest rate changes. Other work, done principally by contemporary quantity theorists, shows the consumption function to be unstable. Refinement of the analysis of the wealth and real balances effects has demonstrated the invalidity of the Keynesian theoretical argument that less than full employment equilibrium is possible even with flexible prices.......All of these considerations do not tend to lessen the significance of the Keynesian revolution for economics. This revolution has caused us to consider afresh alternative economic policies, has led to an intensive analysis of consumption and investment behavior, and has laid the groundwork for our present day empirical research and theory in macro-economics......Professor David McCord Wright in this series of Moorhouse I. X. Millar Lectures makes an important contribution to our understanding of Keynesian economics and its limitations. Professor Wright sets forth for us quite succinctly the basic tenets of Keynesian analysis. He explores the shortcomings of these tenets, asking whether such rigid assumptions as the mechanical linkage of consumption and investment, the "freezing" of the economic system technologically, culturally and socially, and the "saturation" of capital, are adequate to explain the economics of our changing world. Keynes himself toward the end of his life, as Professor Wright demonstrates, felt that modifications in his framework of analysis were necessary to cope with emerging economic problems of the postwar world. As Professor Wright himself puts it, ". . . Keynes the man, as distinguished from Keynes the myth, would have recognized all these problems, and reinterpreted his system toward growth rather than simple spending.".....In developing this set of lectures, Professor Wright has performed a useful function for the profession. The student and scholar of economics will find here a penetrating analysis of the nature and limitations of Keynesian economics......Sincere acknowledgment is made of the substantial assistance of the Relm Foundation of Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the Millar Lecture of 1961 and for this publication.JOHN J. KLEIN, Associate Professor of Economics

This SECOND EDITION hardcover book was published in 1972 by the Charles E. Merrill Publishing Company with 560 pages.

The dust jacket is moderately worn around the edges with several closed tears, creasing and some chipping. The closed tears along the front top edge of the dust jacket have been repaired with tape.

Fewer articles are included because of the current trend from how-to treatment to mathematics emphasis......The editors' selections provide a balanced, concise, and varied source for studying the many-sided aspects of control. The readings are grouped to provide a logical understanding of the theory and applications of control, and also of the broader aspects of management and reporting relating to control.

Edward P. Lazear; Robert T. Michael Allocation of Income within the Household 1st ED Lazear
0226469662 / 9780226469669 University Of Chicago Press 1988-07-29 First Edition Hardcover Used: Good Hardcover
First Edition First Printing. This hardcover book was published in 1988 by The University of Chicago Press. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. There is no Dust Jacket. Allocation of Income within the Household develops an important new economic model of income distribution within the family, one that attempts to determine which family characteristics affect spending patterns. Professors Lazear and Michael base their work on an analysis of the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey and test their conclusions against the 1960-61 survey to verify the persistence of the effects discovered. They find, for example, that the average household spends $38 per child for every $100 spent per adult and that the level of relative and absolute expenditure on the child rises with the level of education of the head of the household.Lazear and Michael also explore the implications their study may hold for the process of determining child support payments in households that dissolve. They argue that, unless the spending of every dollar can be monitored, alimony cannot be disentangled from child support. They also develop several criteria by which income might be distributed among family members, and, using one of those criteria, they present a series of tables that suggest the appropriate payment from one parent to another given family size, structure, and income level. Their model is particularly useful because it takes account of the ways other family members who were not part of the original household may contribute income to the new household. Other issues considered include the appropriate way to deal with children with special needs and the timing of transfer payments.

Goulston, Mark Get Out of Your Own Way at Work... and Help Others Do the Same: Conquering Self-Defeating Behavior on the Job

This book is the hardcover edition. The text is unmarked. The binding is tight. There is normal shelf and edge wear. The dust jacket is unclipped and untorn but has some creasing along the edges. Publishers remainder mark is on the bottom page edges. A practical guide to help workers and managers deal with the self-sabotage that stands in the way of career advancement and satisfaction. Self-defeating behavior is the most common reason that people put their jobs, careers, and reputations in jeopardy. Whether it's as simple as a breach of etiquette or a fear of learning new things, expecting too much from employers or failure to delegate, these behaviors lead to frustration, confusion, guilt, defensiveness, and self-doubt that will seriously hurt or even derail a career, no matter how intelligent or qualified a person might be. Get Out of Your Own Way at Work covers forty of the most common self-defeating behaviors, explains why we sabotage ourselves, and offers proven steps to transform behavior from self-defeating to life-enhancing. Illustrated with anecdotes and "useable insights" drawn from Dr. Goulston's more than twenty years in clinical and organization settings, Get Out of Your Own Way at Work shows anyone how to stop being their own worst enemy.

Hartman, George Risk is a Four-Letter Word Revised Edition Geeorge Hartman Investing
077375945X / 9780773759459 Stoddart 1998-10-01 Paperback Used: Good Paperback
This paperback book was published in 1998 by Stoddart with 222 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. The cover is moderately worn around the edges with several small impression marks. ForewordThere is no such thing as a riskless investment. And common sense would dictate that if there was, it wouldn't offer sufficient returns to justify buying it.There's the rub.Risk and reward are closely linked. For the most part, the higher an investment's perceived risk, the higher its potential reward. Therefore, attempting to eliminate or even to dramatically reduce risk may not be an investor's most prudent strategy.Am I suggesting that an investor should wholeheartedly embrace risk? No. Although theoretically that approach may lead to fine long-term performance, when mixed with human nature, it often self-destructs. For with increased risk comes increased volatility. And with increased volatility comes increased stress. And with increased stress comes an increased number of emotional decisions. And that final increase leads to Canadians' favourite investment practice — "buy high, sell low" (or to my family's traditional version — "buy extremely high, sell extremely low").So the answer, for most of us, can be found neither by shunning risk nor by marrying it. Instead we should court it — learn to accept it, work with it, and most important, strive to understand it.How much risk is acceptable? How much is prudent? Of course, the answer differs for each of us depending on a number of factors includ¬ing our risk-tolerance level, the desired rewards and our time-frame.How we best allocate our assets must take these factors into account as well as some others; for example, whether we want toactively or passively manage our money. That's what this book is all out. Not giving you a prescribed asset mix, but instead teaching you low to develop your own strategy, one you can understand, feel com¬fortable with, maintain and prosper from.Asset allocation is not the same as market-timing. That's a goodthing, because all empirical evidence indicates accurate market-timingpipe-dream. Instead, George Hartman's approach to asset allocationteaches the judicious management of risk through diversification - aworthy objective for all of us.Dave ChiltonThe Wealthy Barber

Jack Mahoney; David Horn Total Value Total Return 7 Rules For Optimizing Employee Health Benefits for a Healthier & More Productive Workforce Mahoney
0977960404 / 9780977960408 GlaxoSmithKline 2006-01-01 Paperback Used: Good Paperback
This paperback book was published in 2006 by GlaxoSmithKline with 85 pages. The CD is included and shows light signs of use. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. The cover is moderately worn around the edges and has a small scuff on the back. To meet and exceed continuously evolving customer, shareholder, and employee expectations, and cope with a variety of forces continuously shaping industry competition, every organization - including the Fortune 500, the middle market, privately held, and the public sector - must focus on sustainable value creation.In almost all instances, the source of value creation is people, and industry research has shown there is a direct correlation between health and productivity.In the Total Rewards arena, and more specifically in employee benefits, average healthcare costs have increased at least 50 percent over the past five years. Employers can no longer accept the standard practice of absorbing the increases or reducing the costs by increased employee contributions and/or reducing benefits. Facts show these standard practices only provide for short term cost relief, increased employee dissatisfaction, deterioration of the plan experience, and reductions in health and employee productivity. Good health is vital for employee productivity and organizational effectiveness, and employer's focus should be on managing health instead of disease.To increase health and productivity, new healthcare strategies have evolved to improve bottom line results, increase employee productivity, enhance employee satisfaction and improve retention. A value-based health benefit strategy for individual and organizational health - centered around wellness - has emerged for a healthier and more productive workforce.In this seminal work by Jack Mahoney, M.D., and David Hom, the authors present a value-based health benefit strategy for individual and organizational health - centered around wellness - leveraging strategies and results already proven from Fortune 500 organizations to the mid market.The value-based design approach brings superior results over the traditional approach in a number of meaningful ways, through three fundamental sources of success, and seven core principles.The three fundamental sources are:1. A healthy corporation2. A healthy work environment, and3. Personal responsibility.The seven core principles of the value-based design are:1. The Health of your organization begins with your people2. To realize total value, you must understand total cost3. Higher costs don't always mean higher value4. Health begins and ends with the individual5. Avoid barriers to effective treatment6. Carrots are valued over sticks.7. Total value demands total teamworkFor execution, the best results occur with a sound benefit design that is Fact based, Integrated, and Targeted to need (FIT).The authors lay out the approach to help employers design benefits that provide incentives that change employee behavior, resulting in reduced risk that will improve health. Improved health will impact medical costs which can translate into enhanced worker productivity.Education and utilization by employees and their dependents may ultimately be the best solution to rising health care costs

John B. Stuttard The New Silk Road Secrets of Business Success in China Today
0471377228 / 9780471377221 Wiley 2000-02-17 First Edition Hardcover New New Hardcover
This brand new hardcover book is the first edition that was published in 2000 by John Wiley & Sons with 160 pages. The dust jacket is unclipped and untorn but does show some surface scratching incurred during transit. The New Silk RoadThe first insider's guide to business success in ChinaHow is China different from other business environments?. . .What are the pitfalls and the keys to success there?. . .How different is the market place?. . .How do you make a joint venture work?. . .How do you overcome the bureaucratic hurdles to doing business in China?. . .How do you change a traditional Chinese business enterprise?. . .How do you develop good relationships with Chinese partners and government officials?. . .What experience should business managers have before going to work in China?. . .How do I find, train, and motivate local managers?. . .How do I manage the expectations of the head office?. . .. . .You'll find answers to these and other crucial questions about doing business in China in The New Silk Road.Based on interviews with the heads of operations of eleven top global corporations, The New Silk Road provides a fascinating account of how such companies as AIG, ASIMCO, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Lucent Technologies, Novartis, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Shell, John Swire & Sons, Unilever, and United Technologies International broke into the China market. In a series of frank narrative accounts, these experts share what they have learned about everything from the nuts-and-bolts of developing a market for their products in China to the subtleties of the Chinese style of negotiating.From the Inside FlapThe People's Republic of China has made such enormous strides toward liberalizing its economy over the past decade that it is now the world's second largest recipient of outside investment after the United States. With the recent signing of the landmark China/U.S trade agreement, it is only a matter of time before China becomes a member of the World Trade Organization. Yet, in some very important ways, Chinese customs, practices, and values remain as alien to Western business thinking and practice as they ever were. As many a hapless expatriate manager has discovered, gaining a foothold in the vast Chinese market can be an uphill battle on a slippery slope of tradition, conflicting objectives, bureaucratic wrangling, ever-shifting laws and regulations, and regional differences. Yet, as the stories chronicled in this insider's guide to doing business in China demonstrate, it is a battle that can be and is being won. The New Silk Road is based on extensive interviews conducted by John Stuttard, former Chairman and CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers China, with business leaders who have many years of experience with the country. They include the Chairman and CEO of American International Group, Hank Greenberg, and the heads of China operations of ten other global corporations-ASIMCO, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Lucent Technologies, Novartis, Shell, John Swire & Sons, Unilever, United Technologies International, and PricewaterhouseCoopers China. It features a series of lively narratives in which these experts share their insights into and observations of all the important aspects of doing business in China. In their own words, they share the important lessons they've learned about everything from making sense of, and marketing to, the patchwork of strikingly different regions that make up China, to building trust and negotiating with the Chinese. Drawing on their hard-won experiences, they explain how to find and motivate Chinese managers and cope with the different business styles you are likely to encounter-from the conservative and distrustful bureaucrat at one extreme to the overly aggressive cowboy entrepreneur at the other. They weigh the pros and cons of forming a joint venture versus establishing a wholly owned foreign subsidiary in China. They provide advice and guidance on how to navigate the complex and ever-changing body of Chinese laws and regulations under which foreign businesses must operate. And, perhaps most important, they share their reflections on the critical intangibles of Chinese life, and the ways in which the Chinese people's keen awareness of their 5,000-year history impacts virtually every aspect of doing business in that country. John Stuttard weaves these experiences, as well as his own and that of PwC China, together to form a highly authoritative business guide. The long-awaited insider's view of doing business in China, The New Silk Road informs you of the pitfalls and tells you what you need to know to succeed in the twenty-first century's great new business frontier.

Kotschevar, Lendal H.; Escoffier, Marcel R.; Educational Foundation (National Restaurant Association) Management by Menu 3rd Edition Kotschevar & Escoffier HBED Foodservice Planning & Cost Control
0915452731 / 9780915452736 Educational Foundation of the 1993-11-01 3rd Hardcover Used: Very Good Hardcover Standard Hardcover
This THIRD EDITION hardcover book was published in 1994 by the Educational Foundation of the National Restaurant Association with 397 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. Normal shelf and edge wear. Preface:Management by Menu has had a successful career since its first publication, being used widely in schools, self-study courses, and on-the-job training. It is also used as a resource book for foodservice managers. This third edition has gone through an extensive revision that was aimed at both bringing it up to date and explaining even further how the menu serves as an invaluable tool in managing food services. Management by Menu continues to be unique in its presentation of the menu as a central theme that controls and influences all foodservice functions. Other books explain how to set up a menu; none tie the menu in with overall management principles. Management by Menu begins with an introduction to the industry and then develops the theme of shaping the menu to best perform its function of controlling and directing a foodservice operation.Management by Menu, Third Edition is written both for those who are just being introduced to foodservice management and for those who have experience in food service. The book has been found to be suitable for use as a text for introduction to the foodservice industry as well as a text on menu construction and formulation. Others have used it successfully in teaching foodservice management, since the menu is the central core around which management revolves.Several new developments have been added to the discussions in this revision. Growth in the foodservice industry has been enormous in recent years. Desktop publishing has made designing and printing menus much faster and less expensive for operators. Concern over responsible alcohol service has given a new focus to liquor menu promotions. Consumer interest in nutrition, and legislation governing health claims, have put added responsibility on menu planners to offer nutritious items. Finally, the presence of computers in so many foodservice management functions has put immeasurable information literally at managers' fingertips.Each chapter of the third edition attempts to aid learning by first presenting objectives and then discussing in depth a distinct part of menu development. Questions are included at the end of each chapter to help emphasize main points and reinforce learning. Five appendixes present support material. Additional aids have been liberally spread throughout the text in the form of exhibits to help emphasize information given in the discussions. Although terms that are not apt to be immediately understood or that are used in a special way in this text are explained as they are presented, a glossary is included to assist in defining many terms.Lendal H. Kotschevar, Ph.D., FMP
