The Informed Student Guide to Human Resource Management

Book Description

The Informed Student Guide to Human Resource Management has been compiled by a team of recognised human resource management experts from the UK and around the world to equip students with basic reference material for everything they need to know about human resource management. The Guide comprises an A-Z listing of over 300 entries - including coverage of the most recent conceptual developments in this rapidly changing field. The Informed Student Guide to Human Resource Management provides an ideal `first base' for undergraduates or those new to human resource management studies, and an invaluable reference `bible' for those already familiar with the subject.

Book Description

Corporations accompanies the casebook and provides updated material on corporations, including new and relevant decisions in this area of law. The supplement introduces basic concepts of corporate finance without unnecessary elaboration, discusses the close relationship between capital structure and governance issues, covers proxy solicitation and shareholder proposals, and combines discussion of the Supreme Court's proxy fraud decisions. Each chapter includes a problem that focuses on class discussion, and many of the problems place students in the role of corporate planners, rather than litigators, allowing instructors to highlight the real-world impact of doctrinal uncertainty about the scope of the director's duty of care. The organization of the book also reflects the growing importance, doctrinally and structurally, of the business judgment rule. Extensive notes provide students with necessary background information, and new materials reflect changing trends and new judicial developments.

Interesting discussion. Pertinent and recent cases covered (such as Disney Derivate suit involving Michael Ovitz). Helpful discussion, full discussion of theory and policy.

defective structure.......2000-04-05

The problem of corporate groups is the great problem of the corporation law . This book doesn't contain this subject,so I think the main defect of this book lies in the unreasonable structure.

Richard Whiteley believes the mystical healing power of a shaman can be harnessed for use in the business world, and in The Corporate Shaman he explains his philosophy--along with ways these traditional seers might actually function in such an environment. Whiteley, an entrepreneur, speaker, and author involved in the practice himself for the past decade, describes a shaman as "one who enters an altered state of mind, at will, and journeys to other worlds and uses the power, wisdom, and energies of those worlds to create positive change in people and the environments in which they live." Recognizing that this concept will be alien to many in his intended audience, Whiteley couches it in the currently popular form of a business fable. Using a composite of common situations and easily recognizable people that, in this case, populate a fictional company missing its numbers and threatening to pull everyone into a downward spiral, he introduces the basics and shows how they could be employed in the workplace. An addendum offers additional details for those who wish to test the ideas themselves. Readers open to new routes for personal and professional growth should find this intriguing and potentially useful. --Howard Rothman

Book Description

Shaman -- a Siberian word for "one who sees in the dark" -- refers to healers who for over 40,000 years have entered an altered state of mind at will and journeyed to other worlds, using the power, wisdom, and energies of those worlds to create positive change in people and the environments in which they live. Since shamanic practices are aimed at healing individuals and since business organizations are nothing more than groups of individuals, it follows that these powerful methods are successful when used to heal and restore spirit to businesses. Out of this idea emerges the corporate shaman, a consultant who recognizes the business as organism, not machine, and reestablishes healthy internal environments in corporations.

PRIMETEC is a midsize company in crisis. Without realizing that he is a major part of the problem, CEO Leon King is pointing the finger at his executives, managers, and just about everyone else. As a result, the company's executives are caught in a stranglehold, preoccupied with thoughts of quitting or being fired, as the company quickly spins out of control. Only with the aid of Jason Hand, the corporate shaman -- a man well versed in ancient shamanic traditions and modern corporate culture -- can the organization hope to turn itself around.

Jason's knowledge and use of animal totems that empower people begin the healing process for PRIMETEC. Working with and understanding animal spirits enable Leon's beleaguered staff to envision and implement unconventional solutions to chronic problems and renew their enthusiasm. And finally, Leon King himself must confront his own role in the failing business. With the help of the corporate shaman, King begins to develop the awareness and compassion required to salvage his floundering company. After first stumbling as he embraces his new leadership behavior, King successfully begins the arduous healing process that promises to bring his company back to prominence.

In the tradition of The One Minute Manager and Who Moved My Cheese?, The Corporate Shaman is a business fable, one that depicts the high-stress organizational environments that many employees experience today and how an ancient system for healing and rejuvenation can transform such stress into productive activity. PRIMETEC is a composite of many real organizations and mirrors real-life results of integrating spirituality into the workplace. Engrossing, involving, and right on time to feed a spiritually hungry workforce, The Corporate Shaman offers recognizable characters and powerful insights into the difficulties of balancing the private and professional self and the nature of leadership, change, and growth. Through the inspirational lessons this book teaches, business leaders will learn how to restore the souls -- and profits -- of their corporations.

Customer Reviews:

Save Your Money.......2006-03-21

There's precious little in this book about the application of shamanism in the workplace. The "fable" borders on the preposterous. The basic story line: a shaman guides the COO and the CEO on discovery journeys and, poof, their company's problems begin to dissolve.

While I think that shamanism may have a future in the workplace, this simplistic story does little to promote that future. Substitute the phrase "spirituality in the workplace" or "emotional healing in the workplace" and you understand just how difficult it will be to have these kinds of alternatives accepted and implemented.

Ancient Wisdom for Spiritual Leadership.......2003-09-12

We all know that corporate America could use a good dose of ethics. And 70% of employees, according to Business Week, want spirituality in business (not religion, but spirit) and that's what Whiteley's book offers--a parable about healing a business using spiritual principles of the shaman.

As a corporate shaman who has helped companies retrieve the lost vitality of the corporate soul and employee soul, I encourage leaders to read this book as a compass toward a new future.

A spirited journey into an alternative view.......2003-07-23

Different from many business books this book read very easily and quickly, most probably because it was build on a very simple fable. Its crisp clarity captured my attention to read it from cover to cover without stop. Many managers will relate to the business problem addressed in the book. The problem: People being driven by numbers and loosing touch with themselves and their motivation. The hypothesis presented: corporations have lost their spirit.

The answer to the problem: shaman practises of healing or restoring the spirit. I am not sure if all readers will easily accept the solution because it might be too far of the traditional business worldview. The solution however is unique, fresh and certainly potent with potential to provide for the open-minded reader a doorway into a new realm of energy and expectation. On a meta-level, the solution is that leaders in corporations should get in touch with themselves and their inner being. The solution I believe is universal and can be applied irrespective of the beliefs of the reader.

The open-minded reader will get the most out of the book because it has clear detail in terms of how to enter into a drumming journey of discovering words of wisdom and guidance. The author succeeds extremely well to convey the basics of shamanism in a very direct and vivid. There is absolutely no uncertainty in the author that he provides a valid answer. Although the solution is presented in the framework of a fable, the proposed solution is described with clarity.

I felt inspired after reading the book by the pure thrust of potential contained in the fable itself. The book is highly recommended to those who are curious about what shamanism is all about as well as managers that simply feels despondent and out of touch with themselves.

It's time to bring spirit into the workplace.......2002-04-25

At first blush, The Corporate Shaman is dismissable....Who would believe such a tale of rattles, drums, power animals? But, dig deeper and find the heartbeat of this wonderful book by one of Harvard's own, a consummate businessman and corporate leader. You find a way to connect with the deeper energies of people at work -- something leaders, organizations and all of us crave!!

The Corporate Shaman helps us see what trust, cooperation, synergy, creativity, and tapping into higher potential really mean. It's an allegory -- a story -- like many other business books these days. But the difference is that Shaman practice DOES exist throughout the world. And, it seems to carry with it, a deep-seated knowledge about what makes us tick and how we can connect with each other and higher purpose -- including HIGHER BUSINESS PURPOSE.

Richard Whiteley straddles the mythical and the real in a way that only someone who has been there to produce results without sacrificing soul can do.

How can anyone who leads or influences organizations NOT purchase, read, or find ways to assimilate and act on this book?

Take a risk. Take a chance. Go to the edges. Recognize that the only way we can leap forward is by discovering the heart, soul, and spirit of people. When you do, you will realize that The Corporate Shaman is a fabulous allegory and life myth for making these happen.

Finally.......2002-03-30

Richard Whiteley has written a deeply inspired book no doubt with great help from his own "power animal." It responds to the urgent need for leaders to be silent for awhile, to surrender just a bit, and to listen to the voice of the single intelligence that lies underneath it all. Finally, in an appropriately metaphorical medium, we have a book that will help us wake up. The book's publication could not have come at a better time, a time when the events of 9/11, the collapse of the internet bubble, Enron, Andersen, Afghanistan are causing us, if we're not hoplessly anesthetized, to renew our search for meaning and purpose in our lives.

Book Description

The Financial Futures Primer provides the reader with an introduction to the futures markets in general and financial futures in particular. All of the futures contracts explored in the text are approached by a common pricing framework-the proposition that rational prices preclude arbitrage profits.To ensure that the mathematical demands placed upon the reader are minimal, there is an uncomplicated, applied explanation provided for each topic. As each concept or valuation technique is introduced, it is explained in detail, the relevant formula is presented, and a calculation example is presented.The text also emphasises the use of financial futures in risk management. While the Financial Futures Primer features ample examples of speculative strategies that can be implemented with these instruments, the focus of the application examples is the management of pre-existing risk.This brief, yet comprehensive, overview of the complex topics surrounding futures makes the Financial Futures Primer a valuable resource for professionals as well as an ideal supplement for advanced undergraduate courses in finance and economics and MBA level investments courses.

Book Description

Unlike the M&A fever that gripped so many large, publicly held corporations in the 1980s, the mergers and acquisitions activity of the 1990s is primarily centered around small and midsize businesses. But the sale and purchase of these companies present a unique constellation of problems, pitfalls, and challenges that may lead the unprepared buyer or seller to disappointment, difficulty, or even disaster. In this book—the only mergers and acquisitions guide that focuses on small and midsize companies—experts from every profession and specialty related to the sale or acquisition of a business lead buyers and sellers step by step through each phase of the M&A process. Their aim is to help both parties avoid hazards and mistakes and arrive at a fair and mutually profitable arrangement.

Beginning with the basics, the book offers an overview of the market: the size and type of businesses covered; who the buyers and sellers are; why businesses are put up for sale; how to prepare a business for sale; and how to size up a business that is on the market. The book's second section looks at financial and valuation issues, a particularly important area when purchasing companies that are not subject to SEC regulations. Coverage includes normalizing historical financial statements, using financial forecasts, determining real ROI, valuation methods for midsize companies, and determining the value of partial ownerships, intangible assets, and business risk characteristics.

After a detailed examination of legal issues, the book explores the roles of outside professionals in the M&A process, including intermediaries, attorneys, accountants, business appraisers, and machinery and technical appraisers. The book concludes with a look at various ways of structuring the final deal and the pros and cons of each arrangement from both the buyer's and seller's perspectives.

With 36 self-contained chapters that can be read in sequence or consulted independently, Mergers and Acquisitions for Small and Midsize Companies is both a comprehensive M&A tutorial for newcomers to the process and an indispensable reference for professionals involved in any aspect of the buying and selling of small and midsize companies.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Buying and Selling a Business from a Distinguished Group of Recognized Experts

Mergers and Acquisitions Handbook for Small and Midsize Companies is the perfect guide for anyone who is selling a business or hoping to buy one. Each of the nearly 30 contributors is a recognized expert in a particular aspect of the M&A process. These authors explain their topics from the ground up, assuming no previous experience on the part of the reader and addressing the subject from every conceivable angle.

Areas of discussion include:

Fundamentals of the mergers and acquisitions process
Financial and valuation—normalizing historical financial statements, utilizing forecasts, valuation methods, and more
Legal aspects—disclosure requirements, due diligence, advisor engagement letters, closing documentation
The role of outside professionals—intermediaries, attorneys, accountants, business appraisers, and machinery and technical appraisers
The deal itself—deal structures, creative financing strategies, a case study, pros and cons of ESOPs, and much more

Customer Reviews:

Lots of information, but a bit disjoint.......2005-01-28

I am a business school student and used this book for a project. I found much of the information to be useful, but not very specific. It touches on all the major issues, but does not really go into detail. I guess that is to be expected as you could probably write volumes on each subject.

I would reccomend this book as an introduction to M&A, but it is not to be used as a reference for each specific area.

Also, the book is written by several authors with different styles. That means that there is often overlap in the things that they talk about and no consistency in writing styles. Not a horrible thing, but at times a bit distracting.

Product Description

The 2005 edition of this well-known reference work for the tax community provides an introduction to the application of the United States international taxation system to taxpayers investing or transacting business in the US and other countries. In a relatively brief and manageable form, it sets forth the principles adopted by the US in taxing US or foreign individuals and corporations as they invest, work, or carry on a trade or business in the US or abroad. The presentation focuses on ten specific aspects of the subject matter: general aspects of the corporation income tax, the individual income tax, the tax treatment of partnerships, trusts and estates, and accounting aspects; the basic jurisdictional principles adopted by the US with respect to application of its income tax to international investment and business transactions; the US rules for taxing foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, foreign trusts, and nonresident aliens on their business and investment income derived from US sources; the basic mechanism adopted by the US to alleviate international double taxation on foreign source income derived by US persons; the income tax treatment of foreign corporations controlled by US shareholders; the general inter-company pricing rules and special transfer pricing rules applicable to particular transactions; rules for the treatment of transactions involving currencies other than the US dollar; situations in which US income tax treaty provisions modify the basic rules; and the wealth transfer tax system, including modifications made by estate and gift tax treaties. Throughout the discussion, the authors incorporate references not only to the Internal Revenue Code provisions under discussion, but also to relevant Treasury Regulations and other administrative material and to important cases that have arisen. The materials are current as of 1 January, 2005 and include a complete discussion of the changes made by the 2004 Jobs Creation Act. For non-US tax practitioners, tax professors and students both within and outside the US, and others seeking a structural framework within which a US tax problem can be placed, Introduction to United States International Taxation offers the ideal reference source.

Book Description

As both the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson would seem to have accomplished more than enough for one lifetime. But Jefferson was the epitome of the term "Renaissance Man," having also been a noted lawyer, architect, patriot, diplomat, philosopher, and scholar. He designed his famous mansion of Monticello following his initial career practicing law. He then served in the Virginia legislature and as a delegate in the Continental Congress, where he wrote the renowned Declaration. After the Revolutionary War, he served as the U.S. representative in France, secretary of state, and vice-president. In his eight years as president, his notable achievements included the Louisiana Purchase. Rather than seek a third term as president, he retired to Monticello and authored several books. He also founded the University of Virginia and remained active in American political debates, particularly over the issue of slavery.

This book presents a captivating study of Thomas Jefferson's fascinating life, based on excerpts from James Schouler's thorough 1919 biography. The overview is augmented by a substantial and selective bibliography, featuring access provided through author, title, and subject indexes.
