Download or read book Negotiation Analysis written by Howard Raiffa and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterly book substantially extends Howard Raiffa's earlier classic, The Art and Science of Negotiation. It does so by incorporating three additional supporting strands of inquiry: individual decision analysis, judgmental decision making, and game theory. Each strand is introduced and used in analyzing negotiations. The book starts by considering how analytically minded parties can generate joint gains and distribute them equitably by negotiating with full, open, truthful exchanges. The book then examines models that disengage step by step from that ideal. It also shows how a neutral outsider (intervenor) can help all negotiators by providing joint, neutral analysis of their problem. Although analytical in its approach--building from simple hypothetical examples--the book can be understood by those with only a high school background in mathematics. It therefore will have a broad relevance for both the theory and practice of negotiation analysis as it is applied to disputes that range from those between family members, business partners, and business competitors to those involving labor and management, environmentalists and developers, and nations.
Download or read book How Women Can Make It Work written by Eden B. King and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condensing and interpreting an enormous body of social science research, this book helps young women survive and thrive in their careers. In a recent survey, working women in the millennial generation (aged from 22 to 35) reported persistent concerns of gender bias in the form of inequitable pay scales, corporate cultures that favor men, stereotypes, few women among the top echelons of the organization, and barriers to balancing work and family. Clearly, women continue to face significant obstacles to success in the workplace despite the progress that has occurred in recent decades. How Women Can Make It Work: The Science of Success will help Gen-X, Y, and Z women who are recent high school or college grads, in their first or second job, or new moms weighing decisions about working achieve success and satisfaction in their careers. The information in this book is also invaluable for managers and counselors who work with young women and want to understand the issues they may be facing.

Download or read book The Dictator s Handbook written by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2011-09-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking new theory of the real rules of politics: leaders do whatever keeps them in power, regardless of the national interest. As featured on the viral video Rules for Rulers, which has been viewed over 3 million times. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith's canonical book on political science turned conventional wisdom on its head. They started from a single assertion: Leaders do whatever keeps them in power. They don't care about the "national interest"-or even their subjects-unless they have to. This clever and accessible book shows that democracy is essentially just a convenient fiction. Governments do not differ in kind but only in the number of essential supporters, or backs that need scratching. The size of this group determines almost everything about politics: what leaders can get away with, and the quality of life or misery under them. The picture the authors paint is not pretty. But it just may be the truth, which is a good starting point for anyone seeking to improve human governance.

Download or read book A Leader s Guide to ThriveAbility written by Robin Lincoln Wood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Leader's Guide to ThriveAbility is a field manual for Executives, Investors, Change Agents, Policymakers and future generations. The research and fieldwork we’ve conducted with leaders across every industry sector and civil society has led us to the inescapable conclusion that if we wish to reinvent capitalism, we need to reinvent capital and the organizations that generate and apply that capital. How can you, as a leader, use ThriveAbility to build a vibrant future for your organization or business as part of a ThriveAble world? Some of the key questions that you will need to grapple with include: 1. What are the unique capabilities needed to maximise the thriving of my organization and its stakeholders for the smallest footprint? 2. Which innovation pathways can deliver the improvements and breakthroughs needed to deliver enhanced ThriveAbility to all our stakeholders? 3. How can we measure True Value in everything we do? 4. How can we get our organization to begin the ThriveAbility Journey? 5. In what ways can advantages in 1-4 above be translated into competitive advantage versus other organizations that are not on the ThriveAbility Journey? ThriveAbility is descriptive, prescriptive, and predictive- it describes the emerging edge of leading practice in strategy, innovation, sustainability and design, while prescribing an approach which includes an equation, decision framework, process and ThriveAbility Index. ThriveAbility is predictive in the sense that it enables us to calculate the costs and benefits of different options and trade-offs in the design, development and scaling of new products, services and experiences, along with the human and social transformations needed to achieve ThriveAbility. The purpose of this book is to provide you and your colleagues with a practical, how-to guide on how to embed ThriveAbility in your organization. It will also come in handy for investors, advisors, consultants, financiers, facilitators, regulators and academics seeking to move beyond the confines of the limiting mindsets we are stuck in with current sustainability and shareholder value added approaches.

Download or read book The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication SWIFT written by Susan V. Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PDF version of this book is available for free in open access via www.tandfebooks.com as well as the OAPEN Library platform, www.oapen.org. It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license and is part of the OAPEN-UK research project. This book traces the history and development of a mutual organization in the financial sector called SWIFT, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. Over the last forty years, SWIFT has served the financial services sector as proprietary communications platform, provider of products and services, standards developer, and conference organizer ("Sibos"). Founded to create efficiencies by replacing telegram and telex (or ‘wires’) for international payments, SWIFT now forms a core part of the financial services infrastructure. It is widely regarded as the most secure trusted third party network in the world serving 212 countries and over 10,000 banking organizations, securities institutions and corporate customers. Through every phase of its development, SWIFT has maintained the status of industry cooperative thus presenting an opportunity to study broader themes of globalization and governance in the financial services sector. In this book the authors focus on how the design and current state of SWIFT was influenced by its historical origins, presenting a comprehensive account in a succinct form which provides an informative guide to the history, structure, activities and future challenges of this key international organization. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars in a wide range of fields including IPE, comparative political economy, international economics, business studies and business history.
Download or read book Convergence and Persistence in Corporate Governance written by Jeffrey N. Gordon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-08 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance is on the reform agenda all over the world. How will global economic integration affect the different systems of corporate ownership and governance? Is the Anglo-American model of shareholder capitalism destined to become the template for a converging global corporate governance standard or will the differences persist? This reader contains classic work from leading scholars addressing this question as well as several new essays. In a sophisticated political economy analysis that is also attuned to the legal framework, the authors bring to bear efficiency arguments, politics, institutional economics, international relations, industrial organization, and property rights. These questions have become even more important in light of the post-Enron corporate governance crisis in the United States and the European Union's repeated efforts at corporate integration. This will become a key text for postgraduates and academics.

As President of the Giraffe Heroes Project, which since 1982 has been recognizing people who “stick their necks out for the common good,” John Graham has seen what hundreds of average citizens around the world have done to bring about constructive change. He’s drawn on their experiences, his own as a veteran environmental activist, and that of a hand-picked group of seasoned activists to produce an accessible, eminently practical, inspiring guide on how to work effectively for change in any environment. Stick Your Neck Out covers every aspect of working for change, from choosing an issue to mapping out a strategy, getting a team together, building alliances, working with the media, and more.

Everything in this book has been honed and practiced; nothing is untested theory. This is a comprehensive guide to the skills, qualities, and strategies you need to make a difference on any issue. But it’s also about becoming fully alive—about the meaning and passion you can add to your own life by getting involved. Active citizenship and personal growth are linked. The information in this book can change your world—and it can change your life.
