Sydney Finkelstein
Why Smart Executives Fail and What You Can Learn from Their Mistakes

— y.
Publisher: Portfolio
Description: A definitive study of executive failures - why they happen and how to prevent them. There`s a scenario that keeps repeating itself in today`s business climate. A company is voted one of the most admired in the world. Then three or four years later, it`s in dire financial trouble. A CEO is celebrated on the covers of BusinessWeek , Forbes , and Fortune . Soon after, the company is in the midst of a disastrous merger or some other fiasco. What goes wrong in these cases? Usually it seems that the top management made some incredibly stupid mistake. But the people responsible are almost always remarkably intelligent and usually have terrific track records. Even more puzzling than the fact that brilliant managers can make bad mistakes is the way they so often magnify the damage. Once a company has made a bad misstep, it often seems as though it can`t do anything right. How does this happen? Instead of rectifying their mistakes, why do business leaders… [detailed...]

Why Smart Executives Fail: What you can Learn From Their Mistakes

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description It?s an all too common scenario: A great company breaks from the pack, the analysts are in love, the smiling CEO appears on the cover of BusinessWeek and Fortune , the stock soars. Two years later, the company is in flames, the CEO is under attack, and the stock has tanked. Why does this sort of thing keep happening at respectable companies like Motorola, Quaker, and Sony, all of which have very smart, hard-working senior executives? And how can you tell if it?s about to happen at your own company? Why Smart Executives Fail answers these and many more crucial questions. Sydney Finkelstein, a distinguished professor at Dartmouth?s Tuck School of Business, carried out a six-year study of leadership failure, the largest of its kind. After hundreds of interviews with insiders at top companies that got into major trouble?such as GM, Mattel, and RiteAid?Finkelstein figured out the common causes behind failures in… [detailed...]

William Morgan
Why Sports Morally Matter (Routledge Critical Studies in Sport)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why Sports Morally Matter is a deeply critical examination of pressing ethical issues in sports - and in society as a whole. Exploring the broad historical context of modern America, William J Morgan argues that the current state of sports is a powerful indictment of our wealth-riven society and hyper-individualistic way of life. Taking on critics from all sides of the political debate, Morgan makes the case that, despite the negating effect of free market values, sports still possess important features that encourage social, moral and political values crucial to the flourishing of a democratic polity. It is this potential to transform society and the individual that makes sports a key battleground in the struggle for the moral soul of contemporary America. Why Sports Morally Matter represents an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of sports in society. For students and researchers working in sport studies, philosophy and… [detailed...]

Why Stock Markets Crash: Critical Events in Complex Financial Systems

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The scientific study of complex systems has transformed a wide range of disciplines in recent years, enabling researchers in both the natural and social sciences to model and predict phenomena as diverse as earthquakes, global warming, demographic patterns, financial crises, and the failure of materials. In this book, Didier Sornette boldly applies his varied experience in these areas to propose a simple, powerful, and general theory of how, why, and when stock markets crash. Most attempts to explain market failures seek to pinpoint triggering mechanisms that occur hours, days, or weeks before the collapse. Sornette proposes a radically different view: the underlying cause can be sought months and even years before the abrupt, catastrophic event in thebuild-up of cooperative speculation, which often translates into an accelerating rise of the market price, otherwise known as a `bubble.` Anchoring his sophisticated, step-by-step analysis in leading-edge physical and statistical… [detailed...]

Why Things Look The Way They Do: Explaining changes in art and design over time, using Darwinian Evolutionary and Cyclical theories

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This academically rigorous work uses innovative quantitative and qualitative research methods to examine change happening over time to art and designed objects. Using Darwinian Evolutionary theories, including Natural Selection and Sexual Selection, and Socio-economic Cyclical theories, including those of Kondratiev, this work looks at possible causes of change, bringing together seemingly unrelated theories to form a powerful synthesis. Using images of table lamps and clocks from Littlewood`s Mail Order Catalogue 1932-80 to track design change over time, comparisons are made with a broad range of socio-historical events, scientific discoveries, and manufacturing innovations happening throughout the same period, showing synchronicity between events and change, and offering explanations for why this might be. Discussing complex ideas and information in straight forward style, the presentation of Cyclical and Darwinian Evolutionary theories is augmented by an … [detailed...]

Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: That rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf, Clarice Lispector is one of the most popular but least understood of Latin American writers. Now, after years of research on three continents, drawing on previously unknown manuscripts and dozens of interviews, Benjamin Moser demonstrates how Lispector`s art was directly connected to her turbulent life. Born amidst the horrors of post-World War I Ukraine, Clarice`s beauty, genius, and eccentricity intrigued Brazil virtually from her adolescence. Why This World tells how this precocious girl, through long exile abroad and difficult personal struggles, matured into a great writer, and asserts, for the first time, the deep roots in the Jewish mystical tradition that make her both the heir to Kafka and the unlikely author of `perhaps the greatest spiritual autobiography of the twentieth century.` From Ukraine to Recife, from Naples and Berne to Washington and Rio de Janeiro, Why This World shows how Clarice… [detailed...]

Why We Make Mistakes: How We Look Without Seeing, Forget Things in Seconds, and Are All Pretty Sure We Are Way Above Average

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: We forget our passwords. We pay too much to go to the gym. We think we’d be happier if we lived in California (we wouldn’t), and we think we should stick with our first answer on tests (we shouldn’t). Why do we make mistakes? And could we do a little better?We human beings have design flaws. Our eyes play tricks on us, our stories change in the retelling, and most of us are fairly sure we’re way above average. In Why We Make Mistakes, journalist Joseph T. Hallinan sets out to explore the captivating science of human error—how we think, see, remember, and forget, and how this sets us up for wholly irresistible mistakes.In his quest to understand our imperfections, Hallinan delves into psychology, neuroscience, and economics, with forays into aviation, consumer behavior, geography, football, stock picking, and more. He discovers that some of the same qualities that make us efficient also make us error prone. We learn to move rapidly through the world, quickly recognizing patterns—but… [detailed...]
