This book shows how mainstream economic theory is fundamentally flawed. It shows how the expectation for endless growth is so deeply ingrained into what we expect the future to be that we do not even question the assumption. But this work, rather than follow an ecological path to explore limits to growth, is an "inside job" that shows that when modern economic growth theories are decoupled from assumptions that have no basis in how the real world is developing, but are, for the most part, mathematical conveniences applied for the sake of "stability," then the long-run economic outcome is no longer capitalism. Decision makers assume that changes today will lead to predictable and/or reversible outcomes. This is a myth. There are fallacies throughout the assumptions of predictability, reversibility, and endless growth. When reasoning is based upon a flawed foundation, bad choices can appear reasonable. This work shows that the future is not what it is supposed to be.

Es creciente el numero de familias y de personas que cada dia tienen menos capacidad de conseguir lo necesario para su existencia. Las riquezas mundiales las estan acaparando un pequeno numero de personas o de grupos economicos, generando un desequilibrio mundial. Esto no es agradable a Dios. Tenemos la responsabilidad de saber y dejar entender al mundo que todos podemos tener control real de nuestra economia y nuestras finanzas. Dios es nuestro proveedor y solamente nos pide, que lo busquemos con afan y el resto se nos dara por anadidura. Nosotros somos unos simples administradores de los bienes del Senor. Se tu, un buen administrador y el Senor te entregara mas riquezas. Si tu relacion con Dios es buena, tu no deberias tener dificultades financieras. Recuerda: Mas tiene quien menos necesita. La felicidad es una consecuencia del amor y del servicio. Con nada vinimos a este mundo y nada nos llevaremos de el. La llave de la prosperidad es la gratitud. Dios ama al dador alegre.

Effective strategic management brings with it the clarity, accountability, trust, and focus that will dramatically improve your chances of ongoing, sustainable success. To be an effective strategic manager, you develop effective, implementable strategic plans. Real strategic planning is not an event, nor is it a document that sits on a shelf after an executive retreat to gather dust. Instead it is an ongoing process of accountability and transformation. This book will show you how to create that process inside your organization, ensure the involvement of stakeholders, and make sure strategic priorities are actually implemented. There is no shortcut to successful strategic planning. It requires full support and commitment from the senior ranks of the organization. You will need to involve as many key stakeholders as possible to ensure buy-in and then unwavering focus on daily execution of the plan. If it sounds like hard work, it is. It requires deep thinking about what your organization stands for, its values and its goals. Just because it is hard work, however, does not mean that you can get someone else to do it for you. Plenty of consulting firms will offer to write your strategic plan for you. Don't let them; to be effective, the plan must be yours. Show those who would attempt to handle everything for you the door. This book is a distillation of the Rhiness Group's philosophy, showing leaders and managers how to cut through the myths and obfuscations of strategic planning to embrace a powerful and comprehensive process that they can use to transform their organization. It is not a magic bullet or a "one size fits all" plan-instead, it will teach you how to create and implement your strategy, the one that will see you and your organization through an uncertain future to sustainable success.
