Book excerpt: Curing Corporate Short-Termism is a guide for senior managers who want to encourage more investment in the future of their companies, all while maintaining discipline around profitability and capital productivity. Many corporate practices create stiff headwinds for managers trying to grow their business. This book explores the process of developing a "culture of ownership" that overcomes these obstacles, including prescriptive methods on how to better set goals, develop plans, allocate resources, approve investments, make operating decisions, measure performance, and design better incentive compensation. Companies that embrace these principles produce long-term value that benefits not just the organization's shareholders, but all of its many stakeholders, including society at large.

Download or read book Novel Approach to Curing Cancer written by Jianqing Wu and published by Jianqing Wu. This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors make extensive comparison between medical treatments and health optimization methods (an improved mind-body model) in order to determine their relative and TRUE benefits for cancer patients. For the health optimization method, they examine its use history, acceptance, and performance throughout its history; and for medicine, they examine medical treatment history, leading cancer theories, standard of care formation, formation of legal frameworks, and overwhelming performance data we could find from the massive medical literature. We can show with irrefutable evidence why medicine cannot cure cancer and what role it is actually playing. The book (1) discloses a systematic methodology for curing cancer in confidence; (2) extensively discusses how to do right things to win a speed contest in fighting cancer; (3) extensively discusses how to do right things to control cancer cell population, a critical strategy for survival; (4) provides detailed analysis of fatal common mistakes that have taken nine of ten cancer patient lives; (5) exposes flaws in the cancer treatment models, medical research model, the foundation of medicine; and (6) conduct a detailed analysis of four killer factors which are routinely found in nearly all cancer care. The approach used to similar to one used in Health Optimization Engineering, a new branch of health art. The book teaches the decisive roles of SPEED, NUMBER and MULTIPLE FACTORS and how to fight cancer by using a two-way optimization methodology. Those three terms and optimization method are not mentioned in medical books, cancer research articles, and are not part of the language used in hospitals. Our simulation and our kinetic studies show that both cancer development and reversal processes would take many years. The rates of reversals for cancer and all chronic diseases are so slow that medicine cannot accurately evaluate. This is why medicine cannot recognize or refuses to acknowledge any cure that requires half a year to several years to accomplish. The approach we use in this book is directly in conflict with three core concepts in medicine: dualism, reductionism, and population-based approach. Moreover, we found that medical treatments can partially neutralize and totally nullify the curative benefits of our optimization method. Based on our own findings and the results from reanalyzing massive existing medical publications, we inevitably found that medical treatments are primarily responsible for creating the cancer panic and the treatments shorten lives in a super majority of cases. We try to analyze every issue in the most comprehensive way. Our analysis covers medical model and its legal framework, leading cancer theories, treatment development histories, formation of standard of care, control selections in drug trials, the massive cancer controversies, and mountains of actual performance data. The most convincing evidence is the performance verdicts by recent medical studies and latest meta reviews. We try to built a watertight case that precludes any of those arguments that have been made by proponents of the reductionist medical model.
Download or read book Missing the Target written by Mark J. Roe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A data-driven argument for why stock-market short-termism is not causing severe damage to the American economyAccording to most media outlets and corporate lawmakers, stock-market-driven short-termism - when corporations appear to prioritize immediate results in the next quarter over long-term interests - is crippling the American economy. This popular view claims that short-termism is causing widespreaddeclines in research and development (RandD) spending, harmful environmental policies, and degradation of the workplace. But the data does not support this black-and-white representation of short-termism.Mark J. Roe uses economy-wide data on RandD spending trends and corporate financial analysis to show that stock-market short-termism is not the root of all of America's economic problems. The book shows that blaming short-termism overlooks the real causes of declining investment, RandD cutbacks,environmental deterioration, and workplace conflict. By pointing to other sources of tension like accelerating technology change, policy uncertainty, and an increasing sense of workplace insecurity, Missing the Target argues for a more nuanced understanding of the challenges to the American economy.Roe also disproves many of the core claims against short-termism by demonstrating that RandD spending is not in a complete decline. In fact, while government research spending may be down, corporate RandD expenditure is actually rising faster than the economy is growing.Missing the Target complicates the discussion of the American economy by explaining the many factors that contribute to current trends and by making a bold but straightforward claim: short-termism is not the problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Capitalizing a Cure takes readers into the struggle over a medical breakthrough to investigate the power of finance over business, biomedicine, and public health. When curative treatments for hepatitis C launched in 2013, sticker shock over their prices intensified the global debate over access to new medicines. Weaving historical research with insights from political economy and science and technology studies, Victor Roy demystifies an oft-missed dynamic in this debate: the reach of financialized capitalism into how medicines are made, priced, and valued. Roy’s account moves between public and private labs, Wall Street and corporate board rooms, and public health meetings and health centers to trace the ways in which curative medicines became financial assets dominated by strategies of speculation and extraction at the expense of access and care. Provocative and sobering, this book illuminates the harmful impact of allowing financial markets to determine who heals and who suffers and points to the necessary work of building more equitable futures.

This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller “Required reading. . . . Shows how our economic crisis was a failure, not of the free market, but of government.” —Charles Koch, Chairman and CEO, Koch Industries, Inc. Did Wall Street cause the mess we are in? Should Washington place stronger regulations on the entire financial industry? Can we lower unemployment rates by controlling the free market? The answer is NO. Not only is free market capitalism good for the economy, says industry expert John Allison, it is our only hope for recovery. As the nation’s longest-serving CEO of a top-25 financial institution, Allison has had a unique inside view of the events leading up to the financial crisis. He has seen the direct effect of government incentives on the real estate market. He has seen how government regulations only make matters worse. And now, in this controversial wake-up call of a book, he has given us a solution. The national bestselling The Financial Crisis and the Free Market Cure reveals: Why regulation is bad for the market—and for the world What we can do to promote a healthy free market How we can help end unemployment in America The truth about TARP and the bailouts How Washington can help Wall Street build a better future for everyone With shrewd insight, alarming insider details, and practical advice for today’s leaders, this electrifying analysis is nothing less than a call to arms for a nation on the brink. You’ll learn how government incentives helped blow up the real estate bubble to unsustainable proportions, how financial tools such as derivatives have been wrongly blamed for the crash, and how Congress fails to understand it should not try to control the market—and then completely mismanages it when it tries. In the end, you’ll understand why it’s so important to put “free” back in free market. It’s time for America to accept the truth: the government can’t fix the economy because the government wrecked the economy. This book gives us the tools, the inspiration—and the cure.

Download or read book The Cure written by Dan Paul and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-08-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel about transforming organizations from the author of bestselling business books The Goal and Zapp! The Cure is a novel for managers about transforming an under-performing bureaucratic organization into a boundaryless, fact-driven management culture like the one that made Jack Welch's General Electric so consistently successful. It offers real, practical advice for overcoming political inertia, reinventing the company, and doing it in a year or less. By giving each key character a distinct voice, readers are reminded of people they have met and who may even sit in the desk next to them. These characters interact realistically and act pragmatically, and as a result readers become invested in how these people tackle their challenges and create real solutions. The methods described in the book have been successfully employed at many of high-profile companies, such as Black & Decker, Coleman, Emerson, Parker Hannifin, Textron, United Stationers, and Moen. The Cure argues that modern organizations must be flexible, quick, and boundaryless in order to thrive and survive, but it also shows managers how to make it happen fast. Based on the successful management theories of Dan Paul's General Management Technologies, The Cure accomplishes these things in the form of an entertaining, enlightening, and dramatic business narrative. Jeff Cox (Murrysville, PA) is a creative writer known for weaving progressive business concepts into compelling fiction. He is the coauthor of such business bestsellers as The Goal, Zapp!, and Heroz. Dan Paul (Pittsburgh, PA) is CEO of General Management Technologies, a consulting practice which focuses on the alignment of clients' strategies, work processes, and culture in order to target all the functions of a business on the same priorities. Formerly with General Electric, he's worked with many high-profile clients and spoken at many conferences on strategic management for Business Week and the American Management Association.

This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS). Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) refers to a 'highly flow-able,non-segregating concrete that can be spread into place, fill the formwork,and encapsulate the reinforcement without the aid of any mechanicalconsolidation. SCC is regarded as one of the most promising developments inconcrete technology due to significant advantages over Conventional Concrete(CC). In this study cracking caused by external loads in reinforced SCC andFRSCC slabs is examined experimentally and analytically. The mechanismsassociated with the flexural cracking due to the combined effects ofconstant sustained service loads and shrinkage are observed. One of theprimary objectives of this study is to develop analytical models thataccurately predict the hardened mechanical properties of SCC and FRSCC.Subsequently, these models have been successfully applied to simulatetime-dependent cracking of SCC and FRSCC one-way slabs.
