The Subtle Art of Strategy : Organizational Planning in Uncertain Times

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Strategy--and the planning that created it--has too often failed to deliver its promised results. The reasons for this failure are many and varied, but include an over-reliance on the `next big thing` in strategic methodology, a failure to recognize and deal with the total change that strategy requires in an organization, and an inability to deal with uncertainty. Wilson argues that strategy is a subtle and demanding art, far more than it is a science or a methodology. [detailed...]

Philip Pullman
The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Book 2)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comWith The Golden Compass Philip Pullman garnered every accolade under the sun. Critics lobbed around such superlatives as `elegant,` `awe-inspiring,` `grand,` and `glittering,` and used `magnificent` with gay abandon. Each reader had a favorite chapter--or, more likely, several--from the opening tour de force to Lyra`s close call at Bolvangar to the great armored-bear battle. And Pullman was no less profligate when it came to intellectual firepower or singular characters. The d?monsalone grant him a place in world literature. Could the second installment of his trilogy keep up this pitch, or had his heroine and her too, too sullied parents consumed him? And what of the belief system that pervaded his alternate universe, not to mention the mystery of Dust? More revelations and an equal number of wonders and new players were definitely in order. The Subtle Knife offers everything we could have wished for, and more. For a start, there`s a young… [detailed...]

The Successful Family Business: A Proactive Plan for Managing the Family and the Business

Description: Over 80% of the businesses in the United States are family-owned and managed. From the corner deli or barbershop to global empires in brewing, media, and cleaning products, family businesses employ over half of the country`s workforce, and are the dominant business model in many countries around the world. Family businesses embody the entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation and economic growth and that represents the hopes and dreams of millions for independence, self-sufficiency, and wealth. And yet the track record for entrepreneurial businesses is poor: over three-quarters will fail during the first five years and only 10% will survive a decade. Family business statistics show that fewer than one-third pass successfully to a second generation, often the result of insufficient planning. Edward Hess, who has researched and served as a consultant to family businesses for over 20 years, argues that the business and the family are distinct overlapping living organisms, constantly… [detailed...]

The Successful Investor Today: 14 Simple Truths You Must Know When You Invest

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: What does it take to achieve superior performance and become a successful investor? Rather than great stock pricing or market timing skills, it is far better for you to understand how the markets work and how to make them work best for you. Larry E.Swedroe argues that the right strategy never changes, no matter whether the bull is stampeding or the bear has emerged from hibernation. The Successful Investor Today was written during one of the greatest bear markets of the post-World WarII era--a bear market that was a result of the inevitable bursting of the technology-led bubble of the late 1990s (what Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan called `irrational exuberance`). Although millions of investors unnecessarily incurred trillions of dollars in losses, neither this bubble, nor the ensuing devastating losses, were anything new. Despite all the horrible investment experiences that have been reported, those investors who followed the fourteen simple truths… [detailed...]

The Sugar Masters: Planters and Slaves in Louisiana`s Cane World, 1820-1860

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Focusing on the masterslave relationship in Louisiana`s antebellum sugarcane country, The Sugar Masters explores how a modern, capitalist mindset among planters meshed with oldstyle paternalistic attitudes to create one of the South`s most insidiously oppressive labor systems. As author Richard Follett vividly demonstrates, the agricultural paradise of Louisiana`s thriving sugarcane fields came at an unconscionable cost to slaves. But above all, labor management was the secret to the planters` impressive success. Follett explains how in exchange for increased productivity and efficiency planters offered their slaves a range of incentives, such as greater autonomy, improved accommodations, and even financial remuneration. These material gains, however, were only short term. Until recently, scholars have viewed planters as either paternalistic lords who eschewed marketplace values or as entrepreneurs driven to business success. Follett offers a new view of the sugar masters as embracing… [detailed...]
