Organizational Encounters with Risk (Hardcover, New): Bridget Hutter, Michael Power Organizational Encounters with Risk (Hardcover, New)
Bridget Hutter, Michael Power
R3,000 Discovery Miles 30 000 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Organizational encounters with risk range from errors and anomalies to outright disasters. In a world of increasing interdependence and technological sophistication, the problem of understanding and managing such risks has grown ever more complex. Organizations and their participants must often reform and reorganise themselves in response to major events and crises, dealing with the paradox of managing the potentially unmanageable. Organizational responses are influenced by many factors, such as the representational capacity of information systems and concerns with legal liability. In this collection, leading experts on risk management from a variety of disciplines address these complex features of organizational encounters with risk. They raise critical questions about how risk can be understood and conceived by organizations, and whether it can be 'managed' in any realistic sense at all. This book is an important reminder that the organisational management of risk involves much more than the cool application of statistical method.

PRAISE FOR Outperform with Expectations-Based Management

"This is a stimulating book that places traditional financial management in an expanded framework. It demonstrates that uncertainty and the revisions of market expectations require a new orientation for management decision-making. It contains many conceptual extensions of traditional ideas. The numerous examples of actual companies illuminate the applicability of the new theories explained. This book has many important and exciting ideas that can improve management decisions and performance."
--J. Fred Weston, Distinguished Professor of Finance, Anderson School of Management, UCLA

"What drives shareholder returns is of immense interest to managers and investors. Bringing expectations squarely into the picture through Expectations-Based Management (EBM) sorts out the issues practitioners and theorists have had with earnings and cash flow measures. The book is a fine companion to Tom Copeland's path-breaking work in corporate finance, valuation, and real options."
--Rob McLean, Dean and Director, Australian Graduate School of Management

"This book is a tour de force critique of the way we measure corporate performance. And it offers a sound remedy that for the first time reflects the fact that value creation is significantly about exceeding investor expectations. Well written and amply researched and illustrated, Outperform with Expectations-Based Management will sharpen the way you judge financial results and the managers who produce them. This is a must-read for thoughtful investors, directors, CEOs, students, and all aspirants to superior performance."

"The budget and financial reporting processes are well known sources of frustration for most CFOs. Seeking a quick fix to the problem, the common solution is to pour more money into new and better software. This leaves the root cause, the inefficient and dysfunctional underlying processes and routines, unaddressed. As this book shows, substantial and sustainable improvements are only achieved through an holistic approach to process improvement, technology, strategy, and people."

R3,403 Discovery Miles 34 030 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The theory of Value at Risk (VaR), which quantifies the probability of large losses in financial transactions, won the Nobel Prize in economics for Robert Merton. As trading systems have become more complex, however, the dangers of very large losses have become more acute. The near collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management, based on the VaR theory, is perhaps the most spectacular example: it was not stable against large and sudden fluctuations in the financial markets. This collection of papers by leading researchers addresses the weaknesses of VaR and how it might be possible to circumvent them. A crucial question is to establish what is a good measure of risk, and the further developments of VaR are considered in this light.

In the past year, crowdfunding platforms helped generate a staggering $34 billion dollars in funding. But the harsh reality is that the majority of crowdfunding campaigns fail-only 40% meet their goals. And failing means failing hard. If you fall short of your goal by the deadline, not only won't you see any of the money you've worked so hard to raise, but you might actually tarnish your shiny idea. Alex Daly is a hugely successful crowdfunding expert who has run some of Kickstarter's biggest campaigns, from TLC's new album to Neil Young's music player to Joan Didion's documentary "We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live." In this book, she shows you how to: * Build a deep fan base prior to launch * Understand the psychology of why people give and create the right narrative around your project * Find the right platform on which to raise funds * Deal with unfulfilled promises and angry backers * Create intimacy and promote shareability of your project * Best use influence and exclusivity to get funded. Woven throughout is Alex's own entrepreneurial story-the unconventional career path she took to ultimately start her business, Vann Alexandra, thanks to crowdfunding. And she will take readers deep into her most successful campaigns, showing them how she helped them get funded. As someone who's spent lots of time in the trenches, she has learned the hard way how to communicate and connect with people on the Internet-and offers tangible tools to run your own crowdfunding campaigns. Above all, this is a book about how to fully connect with the crowd, get people to pay attention, and inspire them to act.

R1,665 Discovery Miles 16 650 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Today, nearly every aspect of higher education--including student recruitment, classroom instruction, faculty research, administrative governance, and the control of intellectual property--is embedded in a political economy with links to the market and the state. Academic capitalism offers a powerful framework for understanding this relationship. Essentially, it allows us to understand higher education's shift from creating scholarship and learning as a public good to generating knowledge as a commodity to be monetized in market activities.

In " Academic Capitalism in the Age of Globalization," Brendan Cantwell and Ilkka Kauppinen assemble an international team of leading scholars to explore the profound ways in which globalization and the knowledge economy have transformed higher education around the world. The book offers an in-depth assessment of the theoretical foundations of academic capitalism, as well as new empirical insights into how the process of academic capitalism has played out. Chapters address academic capitalism from historical, transnational, national, and local perspectives. Each contributor offers fascinating insights into both new conceptual interpretations of and practical institutional and national responses to academic capitalism.

Incorporating years of research by influential theorists and building on the work of Sheila Slaughter, Larry Leslie, and Gary Rhoades, "Academic Capitalism in the Age of Globalization" provides a provocative update for understanding academic capitalism. The book will appeal to anyone trying to make sense of contemporary higher education.
