Book Description

This book is a case study of a unique educational institution. For 130 years, the growth and development of Baruch College has paralleled and reflected changes in New York City. Berrol shows how the school, which was started in 1847 as a "Free Academy" to provide training for the clerks and professionals needed in a growing mercantile city, survived through several stages of development to emerge as an independent college in 1968. She contends that this survival is due, in no small measure, to the college's ability to meet the needs of New York City as it grew from mid-19th century commercial prominence to its current position as this nation's corporate and financial headquarters. Most of the book is devoted to the twentieth century, when the school fought for recognition from its parent--the City College of New York. In large part precipitated by the demands of Blacks and Hispanics for increased educational opportunity, it was separated from City in 1968 and renamed Baruch College. By using data and insights from urban and ethnic studies, Berrol demonstrates how Baruch College mirrored the changing ethnicity and economy of New York City and fulfilled its role as the gatekeeper to the middle class. Additionally, the book provides a window through which to view the history of New York City as a whole. Getting Down to Business will be a useful adjunct for courses in urban and business history and the history of higher education.

Book Description

This practical guide to the entire business planning process from start to finish provides a framework for:

conceiving the vision of the firm

defining the purpose of the firm, its overall business mission

setting business goals and strategies for achieving them

understanding the external environment and competitive setting outside the firm

establishing operating plans for major functions

implementing control and review processes and

executing the plan, providing signposts when changes in strategy will be needed This comprehensive approach to planning is presented in a concise, easy-to-read manner by a seasoned planning professional to help you achieve success. Entrepreneurs undertaking a start-up, owners of small businesses seeking to grow, corporate planners interested in refocusing their strategy and mission, and not-for-profit organizations or government agencies looking to improve performance will find this book useful. More than that, it provides the theoretical underpinnings for business planning, the rationale, as well as the road map. The author has extensive experience writing and reviewing actual business plans for his clients as well as those of his students, many of whom bring their experiences as midcareer professionals to bear. This book provides the practitioner and the business student with an understanding of the importance of business planning, suggestions for how to approach the planning process and where to find resources, and a framework for business plan preparation and implementation. The three core purposes of the business plan--to identify various possible courses of action, to provide a frame of reference for making decisions that will work toward the company's goals, and to establish both short-term and long-term objectives--are useful for firms of any size or age: entrepreneurial start-ups, small businesses, major corporations, global firms, nonprofits, and government agencies.

Explore the steps involved in turning an on-line business into an on-line success, and what success actually means in a field where companies are often valued by their popularity rather than their profits. Authors Rod Underhill and Nat Gertler explain how to turn success into big piles of cash through selling out, issuing stock, or exercising stock options. They offer pointers and tips for turning an existing standard business into a thriving on-line one.

Outdated, but could be helpful to the complete idiots.......2004-03-10

You gotta remember that this book was written in 2000, right around the time the dotcom bubble burst. Of course you didn't have to be amazon or ebay to survive the bloodbath, as many small independent shopping sites have been doing quite well.

This book doesn't tell you how to come up with a good idea -- I doubt anyone can really tell you, since successful entrepreneurship is seeded totally on individual creativity. (Disclosure: I myself am still trying to come up with the mother of all "how come I didn't think of that" ideas.) It's more about how to set up an e-commerce site, but the information is already outdated now that four years have passed. Still, it could be an informative read if you are truly clueless about e-commerce.

Bridge for Sale.......2003-06-05

Is this Rod Underhill related to Roy Underhill? I see they're credited together for writing quite a few books together. Even if I was married to this guy his book isn't very good. Maybe he should stick to woodworking.

hey, if you're interested in this book..........2001-06-09

Did you know that gullible was printed twice in the 1996 Merriam Webster dictionary?

Pennies from Heaven?.......2000-06-20

Can gold still be found in the DotCom mines of the year 2000? Evidently so, but intrepid miners have to make some choices. Join somebody's team early on and hope for the best and perhaps find "founder" millions? Join late in the game but arrive at a decent long term career? Or go for broke and start you own start up and try to become the next Bill Gates? Okay, maybe try not to become so successful that the Gov't cuts your business in two, but maybe collect a few hundred million dollars in the process.

Stock options, bad internet biz ideas, and other pitfalls are cheerfully explained in this very well researched book. If you are getting just a little jealous about how you keep hearing that some goofball you went to high school with just made a few million at a DOTCOM, this book will give you both a reality check and a head start at the same time. That's no easy feat to pull off.

Plus, the jokes aren't too terrible.

Book Description

An impressive collection of the latest cutting-edge work in the dynamic field of intellectual capital. Experts from around the world discuss the current state of affairs from a variety of perspectives, providing a cross-disciplinary view of the field. All contributors presented their research at the top global conference in this field - the World Congress on Intellectual Capital.

The underlying theme of the book is to explain how an organization can identify, measure, manage, leverage and act upon its collective intelligence towards the pursuit of sustainable innovation. The book is divided into three main parts which first establish a foundation of literature, then examine various measurement approaches and finally conclude with a variety of applications.

"This collection of papers from the conference is special for its seminal research, strategic visions, and thought-provoking discussions. Make sure this book has a place in your library!"
Dr. Jac Fitz-enz, Founder and Chairman, Saratoga Institute

Explains how an organization can identify, measure, manage, leverage and act upon its collective intelligence to achieve sustainable innovation

Customer Reviews:

A good review of the state of the art.......2003-02-19

This collection of readings brings together experts from around the world in the fields of intellectual capital and knowledge management to discuss the latest research and practice. The standard of the papers is very high and there is a good balance between theory, research and practice.

A popular conceptualisation of intellectual capital is that it has three components: human capital, structural capital and relational capital, as described in Nick Bontis' literature review. This conceptualization is extended in the chapter that describes competitive capital as a potential fourth pillar of intellectual capital. Practitioners will be interested in the measures that have been developed in relation to learning capacity and knowledge management orientation. Similarly, the chapters which discuss intellectual capital reporting (Development and Implementation of an Intellectual Capital Report; Understanding Intellectual Capital Statements; Measuring and Reporting Intellectual Capital in European Pioneering Firms; Intellectual Capital Disclosures in Swedish Annual Reports) will be of interest to managers attempting to identify, understand, describe, and account for intellectual capital in their organizations.

This book provides a really good overview and state-of-the art in relation to intellectual capital, particularly in relation to measurement methods, and intellectual capital reporting in organizations, and this compilation is a must-read for academics and practitioners alike.
