Download or read book Lakeland written by Lakeland Community Heritage Project Inc. and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lakeland, the historical African American community of College Park, was formed around 1890 on the doorstep of the Maryland Agricultural College, now the University of Maryland, in northern Prince George's County. Located less than 10 miles from Washington, D.C., the community began when the area was largely rural and overwhelmingly populated by European Americans. Lakeland is one of several small, African American communities along the U.S. Route 1 corridor between Washington, D.C., and Laurel, Maryland. With Lakeland's central geographic location and easy access to train and trolley transportation, it became a natural gathering place for African American social and recreational activities, and it thrived until its self-contained uniqueness was undermined by the federal government's urban renewal program and by societal change. The story of Lakeland is the tale of a community that was established and flourished in a segregated society and developed its own institutions and traditions, including the area's only high school for African Americans, built in 1928.

Download or read book Business Lessons from a Radical Industrialist written by Ray Anderson and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “America’s greenest CEO” and the hero from the award-winning documentary The Corporation makes the urgent, compelling case that sustainable business pays. His story is now legend. In 1994, after reading The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken, Ray Anderson felt a “spear in the chest”: the founder of Interface, Inc., a billion-dollar carpeting manufacturer, realized that his company was plundering the environment and he needed to steer it on a new course. Since then, Interface has cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 82%, and the goal is to reach zero environmental footprint by 2020. Thoughtful and winning, Confessions of a Radical Industrialist shows how Anderson revolutionized his company, in the process bringing costs down, improving quality, making it one of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” — and driving up profits. *The publisher has aimed for sustainability in all aspects of this book’s production, from the inks and glues to the trim size.

Download or read book Strategic Alliances Mergers and Acquisitions written by J. M. Ulijn and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational flirts and marriages alliances, mergers and acquisitions are dramatic examples of how soft cultures can produce hard facts of success or failure. Decisions born from human vanity can lead to destruction of human capital. The chapters selected by Ulijn, Duysters and Meijer illustrate the many facets of organizational family life for the scholar and, hopefully, for the decision-maker who considers another move. Geert Hofstede, author of Culture s Consequences This unique book focuses on the link between different types of culture (national, corporate, professional) and the success of strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions. Over the past decades we have seen a significant increase in the number of strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions. Despite this proliferation many recent studies have reported high failure rates. This failure is often attributed to cultural differences between partners, which has led to a growing body of literature on the subject. To date, most of these studies have focused on national and corporate culture, whereas this book also places particular emphasis on the importance of culture at the professional level. The authors clearly show that all three levels of culture may have a profound impact upon the ultimate success or failure of alliances, mergers and acquisitions. Researchers in the field of international business, strategic management, and strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions will find this book to be of invaluable interest. Managers in multinational corporations and international business students should also not be without this important resource.

Download or read book Canadian Managerial Accounting Cases written by Lynn Carty and published by Wiley Global Education. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managerial accounting gives managers the information they need to make decisions for the future. That’s why managerial accounting and cases are a perfect fit because both focus on future decision-making. While textbooks explain concepts and allow students to master problems, cases go above and beyond. Cases challenge students to critically examine the facts, analyze alternatives from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, and make recommendations. Canadian Managerial Accounting Cases presents cases on a variety of topics at either an introductory or intermediate level of difficulty. There is at least one case on each topic in a typical managerial accounting textbook so that instructors can use the case method throughout their course. Cases are a great way to support learner-centered teaching. Classes become a forum for instructors and students to go beyond lectures and problems by discussing and analyzing the case together. Detailed teaching notes help instructors plan their lessons and facilitate in-class discussions. Students are given a framework for analyzing managerial accounting cases, similar to the framework used in the professional accounting exams, as well as questions to help them in their case analysis. These questions vary in the level of detail so students can grow their case analysis skills. Students learning managerial accounting with cases can see how managerial accounting is used in organizations. They’ll gain experience in examining the facts, analyzing alternatives, and making decisions—all valuable skills no matter where students’ career paths take them.
