The Value Effect: A Murder Mystery about the Compulsive Pursuit of `The Next Big Thing`

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Someone is killing the entrepreneurial spirit of American businesses. Perpetually searching for The Next Big Thing, workers have overlooked `the Value Effect`, a phenomenon which can provide the alignment and energy needed to create and sustain change. John Guaspari ingeniously lays out the problem as a murder mystery in which we see the ailing Lodestar, Inc. and its executives who meet to plan new change strategies. When the consultant who worked with lodestar`s executive team to drive the company`s latest Next Big Thing suddenly turns up dead, detective Lenny Gatling arrives on the scene. We`re alongside Gatling throughout his investigation. We`re walked through his masterfully deduced solution. We read an interoffice memo about the Value Effect that seems innocent but turns out to be the crucial piece of evidence used by Gatling to crack the case. The mystery is solved when everyone finally understands the true power of the Value Effect: that it`s not really a Next Big Thing at all… [detailed...]

The Value Mindset : Returning to the First Principles of Capitalist Enterprise

Publisher: —
Description: Praise for The Value Mindset `What to focus on and what not to focus on is at the heart of successful strategies. Stern and Hutchinson attack much of the current orthodoxy and propose a simple, yet hard-to-sustain, discipline that could reshape companies, industries, and nations. Their thesis and its scope are bold and will undoubtedly generate productive debates within and across many constituencies.` –Harry L. Davis Roger L. and Rachel M. Goetz Distinguished Service Professor of Creative Management, University of Chicago `A thought-provoking book, that is as much about the politics of management as it is about the finance. The ideas build on the principles of economic value added, using simple market solutions tobetter motivate management and employees of companies.` –Julian Franks Professor of Finance, London Business School The value mindset is a revolutionary concept that returns to the very roots of capitalism.

The Value Motive: The Only Alternative to the Profit Motive

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Our market system has evolved in line with capitalist philosophy, and at its heart is profit. But while profit can be a powerful motive, it is not always used responsibly and, in the worst cases, this can have damaging effects at a wider level. The calls for a corporate conscience grow louder, but no one has yet suggested an alternative to profit that people find as compelling. Profit is here and now. In this climate, the solution is to refine the profit motive, not replace it. We all value things, and we’re all motivated by what we value. If value could replace the profit motive, it would reconcile the interests of CEOs, shareholders, citizens and government. Profits would still rise but at the same time society would gain value. This book is a call to manage for maximum value – to follow The Value Motive . Kearns Endorsements `In `The Value Motive,` Paul Kearns clarifies the confusing concept of `value` and shows how it can be used to… [detailed...]

The Value Net: A Tool for Competitive Strategy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Once you come to believe in a map, it is very difficult to change it, and, if your facts are wrong then you will be relying on a map that is wrong too. Too often ?mental maps? act like blinkers rather than guides ? preventing us from acting effectively. Rafael Ramirez (from the Preface) The Value Net A Tool for Competitive Strategy Cinzia Parolini SDA Bocconi, School of Management, Milan, Italy Faced with a continuously changing, and an increasingly competitive, business environment, strategic analysts and senior managers are still reluctant to forsake the familiar and traditional tools and models which were conceived in the very different world of the 1970s and 1980s. However, these methods of analysis are less and less applicable to the blurred and shifting boundaries of today?s business world. This book challenges the tools and models that we use when looking at how value is created, shaped and maintained and presents a new and completely viable methodology… [detailed...]

The Value Profit Chain : Treat Employees Like Customers and Customers Like Employees

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: James Heskett, Earl Sasser, and Leonard Schlesinger reveal powerful new evidence that paying close attention to the employee-customer relationship will enable any organization to be a low-cost provider and achieve superior results -- proving that you can have it all, a goal thought inadvisable just a few short years ago. At the heart of this bold assertion is the authors` indisputable conclusion supported by thirty-one years of groundbreaking research: today`s employee satisfaction, loyalty, and commitment strongly influences tomorrow`s customer satisfaction, loyalty, and commitment and ultimately the organization`s profit and growth -- a quantifiable set of associations the authors call the value profit chain. In what may bethe most far-reaching study ever undertaken of the strategic importance of the employee-customer relationship, Heskett, Sasser, and Schlesinger offer profound new insights into the life-long value of both employees and customers and… [detailed...]

The Value of Family Planning Programs in Developing Countries

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Family planning programs have been highly successful over the past 30 years in providing women in developing countries with desired access to contraceptive services and helping to reduce fertility rates. Notwithstanding this success, there is still an urgent need for these programs. The world`s population is increasing, with annual population growth still approximately 80 million people. Nearly all of this growth is occurring in developing nations, where fertility rates remain relatively high. This high fertility runs counter to the preferences expressed by millions of women, who actually want to have smaller families. Family planning programs are also desirable because they are associated with a range of other benefits, most notably improvements in women`s and children`s health. Host countries provide about 60 to 75 percent of funding for family planning. However, funding and technical assistance from donor nations, especially the United States, have been crucial to the past success… [detailed...]

The Value of Money: Ethics And the World of Finance

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A It is commonly observed that economic factors are pivotal in driving globalisation forward. A globalised economy is far more advanced than a globalised politics. However, if we are to fully understand what is happening, that assumption needs to be refined. This book argues that economic factors are themselves driven: they are the working out of underlying phenomena. Of these, the most pervasive and influential is money. This is not only money in the sense of the finance sector, it is also money in and of itself, the symbolic properties which money possesses. Crucially, this book takes both disciplines seriously, as equal conversation partners, and does not seek to use one approach to define the other as automatically inadequate. [detailed...]

Intellectual property dominates modern commerce. Some business experts talk about the effects of the Information Age on how people set up and run their companies. Most of this talk focuses on using tools like the Internet to communicate with employees and customers. But the critical issues are more direct than that. Anyone who has a Web site, sends a lot of e-mail or counts on brand identification needs to know the basic concepts of intellectual property. [detailed...]

Now, we go with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood-a ruined city under Mongol dominion-and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance we see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius, who masquerades among humankind as a mysterious, reclusive painter and who will bestow upon Armand the gift of vampiric blood.

It`s not just the epic plot but Rice`s voluptuary worldview that`s the main attraction… Elegant narrative has always been her hallmark…. Rice is equally effective in showing how Armand eventually loses his religion and becomes `the vagabond angel child of Satan, living under the Paris cemeteries and founding the Grand Guignolish Theatre des Vampires. In the twentieth century, a rehabilitated Armand regains his faith but falls in love with two children who save his life.
