Wiley | 2008-06-16 | 256 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB
Understand and decode the inner workings of great business teams with the more than 30 in-depth examples in Great Business Teams: Cracking the Code for Standout Performance. Author Howard Guttman examines and dissects teams at top-management, business-unit, and functional levels and isolates five key factors that drive team performance to offer you insight into the ways these teams achieve success. Using this book, go directly to the marketplace to scrutinize teams in a variety of industries, evaluating the challenges they face and the methods they choose to manage these challenges.
This book is the story of how four busy executives, from different backgrounds and different perspectives, were surprised to find themselves converging on the idea of narrative as an extraordinarily valuable lens for understanding and managing organizations in the twenty-first century. The idea that narrative and storytelling could be so powerful a tool in the world of organizations was initially counter-intuitive. But in their own words, John Seely Brown, Steve Denning, Katalina Groh, and Larry Prusak describe how they came to see the power of narrative and storytelling in their own experience working on knowledge management, change management, and innovation strategies in organizations such as Xerox, the World Bank, and IBM.
The book introduces the concept of narrative intelligence—an ability to understand and act and react agilely in the quicksilver world of interacting narratives. It shows why this is key to the central task of leadership, what its dimensions are, and how you can measure it. The book's lucid explanations, vivid examples and practical tips are essential reading for CEOs, managers, change agents, marketers, salespersons, brand managers, politicians, teachers, parents—anyone who is setting out to the change the world.

This book focuses on the 11 men, lawyers and bankers, who are responsible for the creation of Wall Street's merger industry. It specifically concentrates on the events and personalities who dominated Wall Street during the takeover battles of the 1970s and 1980s. Lawyers Joe Flom and Marty Lipton, the godfathers of modern M&A, educated bankers on takeover laws and regulations as well as tactics. Flom and Lipton were also superlative businessmen who built their own firms to become Wall Street powerhouses. The two men drew into their orbit a circle of bankers. Felix Rohatyn, Ira Harris, Steve Friedman, Geoff Boisi, Eric Gleacher and Bruce Wasserstein were close to Lipton. Robert Greenhill and Joe Perella were close to Flom.

Real Estate Investment in Asia Pacific: Migrating Capital
KPMG | 2008 | English | PDF | 70 pages | 4 MB
Property investment has emerged as an asset class, but it remains difficult to access and is often beset by complex structures and regulation. The factors governing investment decisions differ greatly from one market to another.
Developed jurisdictions such as Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore all have well defined and strictly governed real estate markets, often competing to attract investment from institutional investors with an Asian property mandate. The other end of the spectrum sees frontier markets such as Vietnam, China and India closely studying regulatory frameworks in the rest of the region as a guide to establish their own viable marketplace for international real estate investors.

Many would–be software entrepreneurs with expertise in many fields attempt to turn a homegrown application—one developed for use in their own business or profession—into a commercial product. Lack of knowledge, experience, or skills often prevents the idea from ever taking shape, let alone achieving its potential. Entering a new field to start a business leaves many developers unprepared and not even fully aware it’s something they know so little about. They will also often have a job that conflicts with the time commitment required to market the program well enough for it to become a complete success.

Sustainable Value: How the World's Leading Companies Are Doing Well by Doing Good
Stanford University Press |2008|ISBN 978-0-8047-5963-2 | English | 28 pages | PDF | 1.2 MB
Sustainable Value is divided into three parts. Part I is a management fable about Deena, a young CEO, and the challenges she faces to profitably address her company’s impacts on society and the environment. Her story is one of personal empowerment, of finding balance and connection to what is important in life. It’s also a tale of corporate profit and growth.
What makes Deena’s story unique is that her eventual success—personal, financial, and corporate—is the result of “doing good.” She is a talented but ordinary human being who demonstrates leadership in a time of heightened global problems ranging from poverty to the energy crisis and climate change.

PREFACE
Black Sea and Central Asia: Work and Well-being, an OECD Development Centre Economic
Outlook is an assessment of economic performance and underlying social policies in the Black
Sea and Central Asian regions.
The Outlook provides cross-country comparative analysis of recent economic developments
and of the regions’ growing involvement in the global economy. Indeed, the two are intimately
linked and it therefore is entirely logical that we should have chosen work and well-being as a
central theme of this book.
Work and well being are central not only to the construction of economic development but to its
very conception. The work programme of the OECD Development Centre seeks to address two
sets of overlapping interests: i) development policies and peer learning; and ii) the monitoring
and analysis of regional performance. Hence this Outlook examines development policies from
a comparative point of view in order to enhance peer learning within the two regions concerned.
It also includes a chapter on what OECD countries have done; not to preach, but to share
experience and learning. The book draws on the expertise available in the OECD as a whole,
but most particularly on work within the Development Centre on the informal sector and on
social institutions in developi Read more...

Product Description
What does it mean for education that our societies are ageing? Or that the Internet is playing an ever larger role in our lives? Does it matter for schools that populations are increasingly overweight? This book is designed to help policy makers, managers and practitioners in education to think about developments like these and to support long-term strategic thinking in education. It fills an important need: decision makers and practitioners in education often have only anecdotal or local information on the trends shaping education; too often they do not have solid facts in front of them. This volume presents 26 major trends in the context of education, grouped in 9 broad themes. For each trend, there is a two-page spread, containing a short introduction, two figures with accompanying text followed by three key questions about the impact of the trend on the future of education. A dynamic link (StatLink) is provided for each figure, which directs the user to a web page where the corresponding data are available in Excel®. The 9 broad themes covered are: • Ageing OECD societies • Global challenges • Towards a new economic landscape • The changing world of work and jobs • The learning society • ICT: the next generation • Citizenship and the state • Social connections and values • Sustainable affluence?

Product Description
Improving the performance of youth on the labour market is a crucial challenge in OECD countries facing persistent youth unemployment. As labour markets become more and more selective, a lack of relevant skills brings a higher risk of unemployment. Whatever the level of qualification, first experiences on the labour market have a profound influence on later working life. Getting off to a good start facilitates integration and lays the foundation for a good career, while a failure can be difficult to make up. Ensuring a good start will require co-ordinated policies to bring the education system closer to the labour market, to help disadvantaged young people to find a job or participate in a training course and to facilitate the hiring of young people by firms. OECD has launched a series of reports on the school-to-work transition process in sixteen countries including Canada. Each report contains a survey of the main barriers to employment for young people, an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to improve the transition from school to work, and a set of policy recommendations for further action by the public authorities and social partners. Already published in the series: Belgium (in French), Korea, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovak Republic, Spain

Foreword
According to most surveys, individuals lack the awareness, literacy and skills to
adequately assess their needs for financial and social protection and to choose
appropriate insurance and pensions services. Raising awareness and educating
individuals on insurance and pensions issues are both critical and challenging
priorities for OECD and non-OECD countries. Critical, because of trends towards
increased responsibility of individuals for the management of risks and their coverage,
as well as the consequences of wrong or inappropriate decisions. Challenging, because
of the complexity and sophistication of insurance and private pensions products,
providers and markets.
Focusing on these pressing and largely unexplored issues, this book is the second
milestone of the OECD project on financial education, after the publication of
Improving Financial Literacy in 2005. It gathers unique work and research results
carried out on the particularities, main problems and solutions to raise risk awareness
and enhance education on insurance and private pensions issues.
The volume is composed of two chapters dealing respectively with insurance and
private pensions. After a comprehensive analysis of issues at stake, each chapter
points out practical steps and programmes implemen Read more...
