Jose Duarte Santos
R5,333 Discovery Miles 53 330 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Business strategy is not an abstract concept; it is a type of work that is designed for complex theoretical conceptualization. While there are numerous sources exploring the theoretical ideas of strategy, very few demonstrate the real value of strategy tools, concepts, and models in practice. Cases on Strategic Management Issues in Contemporary Organizations is a pivotal reference source that provides original case studies designed to explore various strategic issues facing contemporary organizations, evaluate the usefulness of strategy tools and models, and examine how successful and failing companies have faced strategic issues with practical ideas and solutions. While highlighting topics such as business ethics, stakeholder analysis, and corporate governance, this publication demonstrates various ways that different models/tools can be applied in different types of companies for various purposes and from diverse perspectives. This book is ideally designed for managers, executives, managing directors, business strategists, industry professionals, students, researchers, and academicians seeking current research on key business framework strategies.

This intriguing analysis examines an aspect of President Obama that falls outside of his ethnic background, his political career, or policies: how his unique leadership style comes from his extraordinary ability to use both halves of his brain to maximum potential. Right Brain/Left Brain President: Barack Obama's Uncommon Leadership Ability and How We Can Each Develop It is an inspirational guide to leadership as it should be practiced, conveyed through an up-close look at the man who sets the new leadership bar. Author Mary Lou Decosterd uses her Right Brain/Left Brain Leadership Model to frame Barack Obama's leadership skill sets. Her book shows that Obama's unique brand of leadership is the result of his extraordinary ability to leverage full-brain potential in the ways he thinks, decides, and acts. Right Brain/Left Brain President examines Obama's life and the Obama phenomenon, analyzing how he rose to prominence so quickly and what that teaches us. The president is used as an example of the ten full-spectrum behaviors-the must-have leadership skills-that make one an extraordinary leader. To help readers emulate the Obama model and become the most consummate leaders possible, Decosterd discusses how each of us can learn to lead from both right and left brain abilities. Provides a chronology of President Obama's life, key influences, and critical moments as they relate to his current leadership traits Presents two key, original models, the Right Brain/Left Brain Leadership Model and an Energy Model, both critical frameworks for driving leadership success Offers an extensive bibliography on leadership and leadership brain science Includes excerpts from President Obama's most defining, first-year-in-office addresses, interviews, and press conferences

Schell combines her research with findings from other studies to map the strategies, personality predispositions, and mood-coping capabilities for making it to the top of the corporate ladder--and for staying there. Nearly 400 of today's corporate leaders reveal their secrets for success and the stress and personality and mood disorders that go along with it.

Schell's book is written for present-day corporate leaders and for those seeking to become leaders and is designed to help understand the special traits one needs to become successful. Schell reports in detail on corporate leaders' stress-coping strategies, influence strategies, personality dispositions, the ways they cope with their mood swings, and how they see themselves performing their own compensation negotiations. Managers and management aspirants, specialists in organizational psychology, and human resource executives will find Schell's book both enlightening and cautionary.

Mitsuru Kodama
R2,560 Discovery Miles 25 600 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The progress of broadband ICT is having a big impact on individual lifestyles and corporate activities. For corporate strategy, broadband use goes beyond improving management efficiency to contributing to enhancing customer services and developing new markets. In addition, the shape of corporate organizations and their behavior is changing along with recent changes in the business environment and development of broadband networks. It will become increasingly important for future business strategies to go beyond resources limited by business units within conventional corporate organizations to take positive initiatives with knowledge and competences outside the company as well as with the dynamic use of ICT, through such means as external strategic alliances, virtual corporations, mergers and acquisitions, and outsourcing. This book describes that the full utilization of ICT based on fixed and mobile wireless broadband communication platforms supports managerial speed and excellence, while making it possible to formulate new business models.

The Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise - Surviving, Adapting, and Thriving in a VUCA World (Paperback): Carol Ptak, Chad Smith The Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise - Surviving, Adapting, and Thriving in a VUCA World (Paperback)
Carol Ptak, Chad Smith
R1,568 Discovery Miles 15 680 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Despite spending enormous sums on technology and improvement methods, most businesses are under siege. The inability to drive adaptation to an increasingly more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) set of circumstances has resulted in an unprecedented rate of failure across organizations of all shapes and sizes. Worse yet, the necessary component to break the cycle is being distorted by antiquated models, methods, rules, and tools held over from decades past. Industry is stuck in a rut, and that rut is getting deeper and deeper. Where does common sense turn into common nonsense in organizations? Today, companies lack an effective framework to consistently apply and integrate common sense principles at ALL levels (strategic, tactical, and operational). This book reveals a new management framework rooted in science, mathematics, economics and most importantly, common sense. It enables an unprecedented level of visibility across resources, products, levels and time ranges to quickly and effectively produce the relevant information that companies are desperately seeking, and is the pre-requisite for surviving and thriving in the VUCA world. That new framework is called the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) model. The DDAE model will not be embraced by everyone, as it challenges conventional practice and systems. Unfortunately, many of those people and organizations are living on borrowed time. So, is your organization ready for something new???

Praise for Chairman of the Board

"Board chairmen will find Brian Lechem’s book an excellent resource for addressing the issues that arise from the ongoing role of the chairman in managing the governance systems of their corporations."
–Peter Dey
Chairman
Toronto Stock Exchange Committee on Corporate Governance in Canada
Partner
Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP

"Brian Lechem is the first authority to define a chair’s role in a timely and very readable book–Chairman of the Board: A Practical Guide. As chair of two publicly traded companies and one not-for-profit, I find that there is little ‘guiding hand’ advice. I would highly recommend chairs of all boards, and those aspiring to the office, to read this book."
–Jon K. Grant
Chairman of the Board
CCL Industries Inc., Laurentian Bank of Canada, and the Canadian Canoe Museum

"Chairman of the Board is much more than a practical guide for chairs. It is a well-written, thoughtful review of the myriad problems facing everyone with responsibility for the governance of an organization."

Psychologists receive several years of specialized study on the brain, behavior, and mental health, but despite the fact that over half ultimately end up in administrative or managerial roles, they receive no formalized training in the skills necessary to be successful in these roles. This book is the first of its kind to target the managerial and administrative skills necessary for the mental health professional. The book discusses practical information such as how to deal with personnel issues, how to set budgets and allocate resources, and how to document progress and maintain schedules in the domains of private practice, hospitals, government agencies, and universities. Chapter authors are well-known and successful psychologists within these settings and include Raymond Fowler, past president of the American Psychological Association.
