Corporate Cash Management, Excess Cash, and Acquisitions (Financial Sector of the American Economy)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: How much cash should a corporation have and should we worry when they have too much? This question has been hotly debated by manager and investors recently because managers of many of America`s leading corporations have chosen to keep the spoils of the long economic expansion rather than return them to investors. As corporate cash coffers burst at the seems, some topping $20 billion, should investors worry about what managers will do with the cash when they finally decide to spend it? This study tackles these and other questions related to corporate cash reserves. After developing a benchmark for the appropriate amount of cash a corporation in a given industry needs to fund its investments and survive an economic downturn, a group of cash-rich corporations are not only more acquisitive than other corporations, but they also tend to make poor acquisition choices, effectively squandering part of their cash reserves. The stock price reaction to acquisition announcements by… [detailed...]

Description: Why do corporations comply with the law? When companies violate the law, what kinds of interventions are most apt to return them to compliant status? The purpose of this book is to examine whether a shift toward the use of criminal law with its emphasis on punishment and stigmatization will be a successful crime control strategy. The author reviews whether current legal systems based in criminal, civil, and regulatory law `deter` corporate crime. She concludes that strict criminalization models that rely on punishments will not yield sufficiently high levels of compliance. [detailed...]

Corporate Culture and the Quality Organization:

Description: Most quality management programs focus on the tools that can be employed to improve quality, but the long-term results of these efforts have been mixed. The only way to ensure that quality improvement will have lasting consequences for a firm is to change the corporate culture. Having the appropriate level of technical knowledge to address quality problems is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for realizing the hoped-for improvement. Only when the entire culture of the corporation, starting with a visionary leader and senior management, is receptive to the adoption of new tools will any substantial progress be made. This work guides executives, consultants, academics, and students on how to establish a quality culture. [detailed...]

Corporate Cultures and Global Brands

2004 y.
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
Description: This interesting book covers the development of 19 prominent European, American and Asian companies from their humble origins to their current status as global operators. The case studies review the changes of their corporate structures and the successes and failures of their marketing and branding strategies. A wide range of business sectors is covered, including foodstuffs, drinks, retail, apparel, electronics, aviation, cars and entertainment. Of prime importance for corporate survivaland growth in all sectors and countries is the crucial shift from owner?founder?run companies to consolidated management-led corporations. The wide range of sectors and countries of origin featured also permits valid conclusions on the persistence of distinctive national management styles and brand images. This clearly proves that there are corporate limits to globalization, which companies during thoughtless cross-national mergers ignore at their peril. [detailed...]

Description: A reissue of the classic best-seller that coined the term `corporate culture` In the early 1980s, Terry Deal and Allan Kennedy launched a new field of inquiry and practice with the publication of their landmark book, Corporate Cultures, in which they argued that distinct types of cultures evolve within companies, with a direct and measurable impact on strategy and performance. Despite the dramatic evolution of the business landscape over the last twenty years, the basic principles of the book remain as fresh and relevant as they did when it was first published: that organizations, by their very nature, are social enterprises, with tribal habits, well-defined cultural roles for individuals, and various strategies for determining inclusion, reinforcing identity, and adapting to change. In the new introduction, the authors reflect on the enduring lessons of their investigation into the life of organizations [detailed...]

Corporate Decision-Making with Macroeconomic Uncertainty: Performance and Risk Management

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Macroeconomic turbulence and volatility in financial markets can fatally affect firm`s performance. Very few firms make serious attempts to inform market participants and other outsider stakeholders about the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations--manifested as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, inflation rates and stock market returns-- on performance. These stakeholders, as well as financial analysts, must make their own assessments but they generally lack both the required tools and the information to do so. Worse, top management in most firms do not themselves possess the tools to identify whether a change in performance represents a change in the firm`s intrinsic competitiveness or a reflection of macroeconomic conditions outside their influence. Corporate Decision-Making with Macroeconomic Uncertainty: Performance and Risk Management develops and presents in an easily comprehensible way the essential elements of a corporate strategy for managing uncertainty in the… [detailed...]

Corporate Denial helps companies of all sizes communicate and get to grips with the etiquette of inaction.

Corporate Diversity: Schweizer Grafik und Werbung fur Geigy 1940 -1970 (German Edition)

Description: Das Atelier der J.R. Geigy AG war Ausgangspunkt einer Sternstunde der Schweizer Grafik der 50er- und 60er-Jahre. Die aufgeschlossene Unternehmenskultur des Basler Chemiekonzerns ermoglichte eine exemplarische Verbindung von Produkt- und Firmenwerbung. Die Werke zeigen eine modernistische Formensprache, ohne dabei einem formelhaften Stil verpflichtet zu sein. Eine bildhafte Symbolik hatte darin ebenso ihren Platz wie das Lernen von der ungegenstandlichen Kunst, der manche der beteiligten Grafiker nahe standen. Unter der langjahrigen Leitung von Max Schmid arbeiteten u. a. Roland Aeschlimann, Karl Gerstner, Jorg Hamburger, Steff Geissbuhler, Andreas His, Toshihiro Katayama und Nelly Rudin. Auch freischaffende Gestalter wie Michael Engelmann, Gottfried Honegger, Armin Hofmann, Herbert Leupin, Warja Lavater, Numa Rick und Niklaus Stoecklin wurden beauftragt.

Corporate Failure by Design: Why Organizations Are Built to Fail

Description: Based on data regarding corporate mortality, organizations are built to fail: a conclusion critical to managers, employees, stockholders, consultants, customers, vendors, competitors, and therefore all of us who transact with and depend on organizations.Yet, literature about organizational management tends to focus on education and inspiration, and to bristle with optimism about the potential success of applying its wares. Ignored, in virtually all of this literature is the reality that personnel may ormay not be `inherently` self-interested, but certainly join business organizations in order to serve individual rather than organizational interests. At all levels, therefore, the organization`s long-term interest is undermined by the goals of the very members of whom it is comprised--it is built to fail. And through control of its various internal processes and elimination of opposition, the organization pursues self-destructive goals without knowing it. [detailed...]
