Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise and Reviews Essential guidance on communicating clearly, tightly and with style. `...Timothy Foster provides unparalleled guidance on the whole subject..` THE FORUM FOR ASSOCIATES OF THE INSTITUTE FOR INDEPENDENT BUSINESS, August 2002 IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE EXPRESS YOURSELF POWERFULLY WRITE WITH STYLE MAKE A GREAT IMPRESSION Many of the people you want to reach today will do almost anything to avoid the act of reading. They look. They scan. They skip lengthy text. They allow distractions to destroy what little concentration they have. They give up before absorbing your message correctly. Combine this fact with the prevailing trend to outsourcing and self-employment, which often means those who never thought of themselves as writers must now take on that task, and you have a difficult situation. The need for excellence in written communication has never been greater, especially in today's corporations, organisations and one-man bands. Better Business Writing provides essential guidance on communicating clearly, tightly and with style. Expert author Timothy R V Foster takes you through the whole subject with helpful advice and practical checklists. He covers all the important issues, including: clarifying the audience to be reached; choosing a structure to fit the task; understanding different text styles and when to use them; creating advertisements and direct mail to get results; composing articles, speeches and scripts to inform and enthuse; making business proposals and presentations to win; producing books, manuals and brochures that work; developing effective Web sites, multimedia and e-mails.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir of leadership and success: The executive chairman of Disney, Time’s 2019 businessperson of the year, shares the ideas and values he embraced during his fifteen years as CEO while reinventing one of the world’s most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger—think global—and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Today, Disney is the largest, most admired media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era. In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger shares the lessons he learned while running Disney and leading its 220,000-plus employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including: • Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming. • Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity. • Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale. • Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It’s also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology. “The ideas in this book strike me as universal” Iger writes. “Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives.”

Book excerpt: TRACK SMALL BUSINESS FINANCES THE EASY WAY Independent contractors who are looking for a simple way to handle business recordkeeping will love 30 Minutes to a Better Business; A Monthly Financial Organizer for the Self-Employed Individual. This system requires no computer, special math skills or bookkeeping knowledge. Although this financial organizer is designed to be used monthly, it will also work for getting on top of business finances quarterly or semi-annually, which can be helpful when the bank requests a financial statement. When used regularly, most independent contractors will be done in less than 30 minutes each month, once they have read the simple instructions. The biggest time-saver is realized when tax time rolls around; with this system it should take you less than an hour to get ready for your tax professional. Tracking business records in a manner that will satisfy the IRS is especially important if you are working part time, or involved in an industry that the IRS has classified as a possible hobby activity. This organizer will help you to understand what it takes to beat the hobby label, and, it's so simple that after a month or two many will spend as little as 15 minutes getting their business finances in order each month. All of the forms necessary for making this organizer work are contained in this book, along with tips on how to use this information to improve your bottom line.
Download or read book Cultural Crowdfunding written by Vincent Rouzé and published by University of Westminster Press. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book analyses the strategies, usages and wider implications of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding platforms in the culture and communication industries that are reshaping economic, organizational and social logics. Platforms are the object of considerable hype with a growing global presence. Relying on individual contributions coordinated by social media to finance cultural production (and carry out promotional tasks) is a significant shift, especially when supported by morphing public policies, supposedly enhancing cultural diversity and accessibility. The aim of this book is to propose a critical analysis of these phenomena by questioning what follows from decisions to outsource modes of creation and funding to consumers. Drawing on research carried out within the ‘Collab’ programme backed by the French National Research Agency, the book considers how platforms are used to organize cultural labour and/or to control usages, following a logic of suggestion rather than overt injunction. Four key areas are considered: the history of crowdfunding as a system; whose interests crowdfunding may serve; the implications for digital labour and lastly crowdfunding’s interface with globalization and contemporary capitalism. The book concludes with an assessment of claims that crowdfunding can democratize culture.
