The Changemakers: From Carnegie to Gates, How the Great Entrepreneurs Transformed Ideas into Industries

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: “Conjures insights into the history and character of those who keep our economy vital and growing. Illuminating.” —Warren Bennis Entrepreneurs, even more than inventors, are essential to American business. While inventors produce ideas, entrepreneurs get things done, build the markets, make ideas reality. But what creative talents do the legendary American entrepreneurs share, and what can you learn from them about business success? Using lively character sketches and company stories, University of Rhode Island professor Maury Klein analyzes how innovators from Andrew Carnegie to Bill Gates triumphed over perennial challenges in planning and strategy, production, operations, staffing, and sales—and transformed entire industries. Comparing the retailing acumen of J.C. Penney and Wal-Mart’s Sam Walton, the organizational ingenuity of Standard Oil’s John D. Rockefeller and Intel’s Robert Noyce, the imaginative… [detailed...]

The Changing Culture of Libraries: How We Know Ourselves Through Our Libraries

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the civil rights and antiwar demonstration 1960s to the age of the electronic library, there have always been many librarians and readers who care deeply about library traditions. In compiling this collection of 18 essays, editor Renee Feinberg has included writers who give voice to their struggle to preserve something of a classic library culture in a dot.com environment. Essays cover childhood library memories and reasons for going to library school, the perspective of a blind library professional, and small town library development. The thoughts of a cataloguing librarian, of an academic librarian on preservation of collections, of an American using libraries at Cambridge and the British Museum as a college student, and of a reference and bibliographic librarian at a small Midwestern liberal arts college are related. Writers discuss their experiences in the libraries of Southern California, Montserrat in the aftermath of hurricane and volcano, and the participation of… [detailed...]

The Changing Distribution of Earnings in OECD Countries (The Rodolfo Debenedetti Lecture Series)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is about how much people earn and why the distribution of earnings has been changing over time. The gap between the top and bottom in the United States has widened significantly since 1980. Why has this happened? Is it due to new technologies? What is the role of globalisation? Are there historical precedents? The book begins with the `race` between technology and education, and shows that continuing technical progress does not necessarily imply a continuing rise in dispersion. It then examines the experience of 20 OECD countries over the twentieth century, material presented in the form of 20 country case studies. The book breaks new ground in assembling data on the distribution of individual earnings covering much of the twentieth century and drawing on a variety of under-exploited sources. The findings overturn a number of widely-held beliefs. It is not the earnings of the low paid that have been most affected by the recent changes, widening is largely due to what is… [detailed...]

The Changing Face of Chinese Management (Working in Asia)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Chinese management has experienced a dramatic change in recent years. However, established ideas about Chinese management are often oversimplified or outdated. This book provides a much-needed, realistic and up-to-date portrait of Chinese business today and of how it has changed over the last decade. It is a portrait that reveals an intriguing mixture of the old and the new, for while certain features can be traced deep into China`s past, others have changed beyond recognition. New forms of enterprise and new ways of conducting business have emerged. Jie Tang and Anthony Ward capture this complexity and present it in an accessible and wholly user-friendly format. Alongside a discussion of the social and economic forces shaping management, Jie Tang and Anthony Ward provide a wide variety of interview material and case studies, much drawn from their own extensive interviews with managers and from observations within Chinese enterprises. The result is a fresh insight into the mind of… [detailed...]

The Changing Face of Women in Asian Management (Working in Asia)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The influence of Asian cultures and religious traditions has often been used to explain Asian women’s under-utilization and under-representation in management. The this book examines the influence of culture and tradition on organizational and management practices and how these affect the progress of women in management in Asian economies.The Asian countries in this collection have undergone rapid economic transformation. Moreover, much of what is known about women managers today is drawn from studies conducted in developed countries. Little is known of women as managers in Asia and the specific barriers these women face in the workplace. This book explores which organizational and management practices are universal and which are cultural specific and how these in turn affect the advancement of women in the Asian region. In addition, the ‘voices’ of women managers are heard through the use of cases studies of outstanding local organzations and managers. [detailed...]

The Changing Geography of China (Ibg Studies in Geography)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this clear and carefully constructed text, Frank Leeming provides a superb introduction to the changing geography of China, which will be welcomed by students and teachers alike. By any criteria one of the most fascinating of nations, the People`s Republic of China maintains around twenty-two per cent of the earth`s human population in only seven per cent of its land area. No single human system has ever before attempted to manage so many people, placing massive demands upon water, land, mineral and energy resources on the one hand, and upon internal bureaucratic and political structures on the other. The success - or otherwise - of China in meeting this challenge forms one of the key themes of this study. Other themes examine the relationships among political, management and production systems, regional structures in this vast and immensely varied country, and the practical progress of the reforms which started in 1978. In successive chapters, Frank Leeming covers: * resources and… [detailed...]

The acquisition of individual and collective knowledge and skills is not the primary purpose of the organization skills are a means to the end of profitability and service delivery.
