Women all over the world are still facing numerous challenges and obstacles in the business domain. A gender-equal workplace is still a dream to pursue for a brighter and better future. To change how women are seen, perceived, and treated in the business world, the overall mindset of women in the workplace needs to change. Management education plays a critical role in changing these perceptions of women in business. Gender equal curricula and gender equal teaching materials are a way that universities can begin to challenge those preconceived beliefs that business is a male only domain. More teaching materials discussing and presenting women in the workplace is needed in management education, including women's problems and challenges, their stories of overcoming adversity, and the ways in which they have handled touch situations. This book presents real life stories of women in business, specifically focusing on how they overcame challenges and broke the glass ceiling. These stories will serve as proper teaching materials to be used in different courses of management education and as a means to increasing the awareness of gender quality in business. It will also be of use to lecturers, professors, administrators, librarians, researchers, scholars, practitioners, and students.

How well do governments do in converting the resources they take from us, like taxes, into services that improve the well-being of individuals, groups, and society as a whole? In other words: how well do they perform?
This question has become increasingly prominent in public debates over the past couple of decades, especially in the developed world but also in developing countries. As the state has grown during the second half of the 20th century, so pressures to justify its role in producing public services have also increased. Governments across the world have implemented all sorts of policies aimed at improving performance.
But how much do we know about what actually improves performance of public organisations and services? On what theories, explicit or more often implicit, are these policies based? The answer is: too much and too little. There are dozens of theories, models, assumptions, and prescriptions about 'what works' in improving performance. But there's been very little attempt to 'join up' theories about performance and make some sense of the evidence we have within a coherent theoretical framework.
This ground-breaking book sets out to begin to fill this gap by creatively synthesising the various fragments and insights about performance into a framework for systematically exploring and understanding how public sector performance is shaped. It focuses on three key aspects: the external 'performance regime' that drives performance of public agencies; the multiple dimensions that drive performance from within; and the competing public values that frame both of these and shape what public expects from public services.

American manufacturing is on life support--at least, that's what most people think. The exodus of jobs to China and other foreign markets is irreversible, and anything that is built here requires specialized skills the average worker couldn't hope to gain. Not so, says Dan DiMicco, chairman and former CEO of Nucor, America's largest steel company. He not only revived a major US manufacturing firm during a recession, but helped galvanize the flagging domestic steel industry when many of his competitors were in bankruptcy or headed overseas. In American Made, he takes to task the politicians, academics, and political pundits who, he contends, are exacerbating fears and avoiding simple solutions for the sake of nothing more than their own careers, and contrasts them with the postwar leaders who rebuilt Europe and Japan, put a man on the moon, and kept communism at bay. We need leaders of such resolve today, he argues, who can tackle a broken job-creation engine by restoring manufacturing to its central role in the U.S. economy--and cease creating fictitious service businesses where jobs evaporate after a year or two, as in a Ponzi scheme. With his trademark bluntness, DiMicco tackles the false promise of green jobs and the hidden costs of outsourcing. Along the way, he shares the lessons he's learned about good leadership, crisis management, and the true meaning of innovation, and maps the road back to robust economic growth, middle-class prosperity, and American competitiveness.

Author Terry "T. J." Jenkins has been supervising employees for decades, and he has also excelled at managing his personal affairs.

Success starts with commonsense approaches that few people take when working with team members. You will learn how to acquire the right tools to manage people and events; when it makes sense to make a lateral move in order to meet your ultimate objectives; why it's so important to keep your promises; how to communicate better with others. You'll also find practical strategies on dealing with stress, hiring the right people, and achieving goals. Forget about the technical manuals and complicated theories that promise to lead you to success. Instead, improve your relationship with the people you manage at work and elsewhere with "A Commonsense Approach to Dealing with People."

Nicolai J. Foss, Peter G. Klein
R2,953 Discovery Miles 29 530 Out of stock

While characteristically 'Austrian' themes such as entrepreneurship, economic calculation, tacit knowledge and the temporal structure of capital are clearly relevant to the business firm, Austrian economists have said relatively little about management, organization, and strategy. This innovative book features 12 chapters that all seek to advance the understanding of these issues by drawing on Austrian ideas. Building on existing research in transaction cost economics, agency theory, evolutionary economics and the resource-based theory of the firm, the authors cover a wide range of theoretical and applied topics. These include knowledge management, authority and hierarchy, modularity, corporate restructuring, telecommunications regulation and competitive advantage. They clearly show how Austrian ideas can usefully engage, challenge and extend more mainstream perspectives on economic organization. There are many books on Austrian economics and many more on the theory of the firm, but virtually none that integrate these two bodies of literature. Scholars of Austrian economics and academics interested in strategy, organization and the theory of the firm will draw great value from this insightful book.
