    الوصف: "The Poetic Organization explores the inherent aspects of organization that focuses on poetic processes. The term 'poetics' refers to a wider definition aligned with a philosophical perspective, in which poetics emerges as a phenomenal aspect of being. This book is a commentary on poetic elements in organization that are critical to developmental areas of organizations, yet poetics is rarely given the attention it deserves. However elusive the poetic element is, it still manages to flow through organizational spaces in material and nonmaterial ways. Although many studies have been done on poetics from a number of different angles, very few studies specifically focus on the implicit aspects and how these take place. This book provides academics, students and researchers with a poetic perspective on academic research, which can revitalize studies in the field. The reader is taken on a poetic journey in which organizational members and practices are viewed in a new light"--

    الوصف: More and more organizations are becoming aware of the importance of tacit and explicit knowledge owned by their members which corresponds to their experience and accumulated knowledge about the firm activities. However, considering the large amount of knowledge created and used in the organization, especially with the evolution of information and communications technologies, the firm must first determine the specific knowledge on which it is necessary to focus. Creating activities to enhance identification, preservation, and use of this knowledge is a powerful mean to improve the level of economical performance of the organization.

    الوصف: "What is the relationship between leadership and innovation? How can some companies innovate again and again--continuously producing products and services that customers want--while most other firms cannot? How do you unleash consistent creativity in those around you? In this important new book, a team of preeminent thinkers--leadership scholar and Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill (Becoming a Manager, Being the Boss), former Pixar technology wizard Greg Brandeau, MIT researcher Emily Truelove, and writer and former executive Kent Lineback (Being the Boss)--reveal what they say is the inextricable yet significant link between leadership and innovation. Based on extensive research at many of the world's top organizations, Collective Genius makes the compelling argument that today's knowledge-intensive global economy demands innovation not just as a competence, but as a much deeper part of the culture of the enterprise. They say the leadership implications of this are profound and result in the difference between those organizations that consistently innovate and those that do not. With vivid real-life voices, rich ethnographic description, and expert guidance from authors who've led innovation and creativity first hand in their own organizations, Collective Genius will expand and deepen our leadership wisdom and competence for a new century"--

    الوصف: "A Call to Leadership. The role of the corporate board has changed. Today's smartest CEOs have used this to their benefit. But increased board control and involvement also has its downsides. This book, from three leading experts in the field, serves as a guide to help take advantage of board oversight while avoiding the pitfalls. Boardroom veterans Ram Charan, Dennis Carey, and Michael Useem have this to say to today's leaders: Chief executives must run the corporation, but directors must also lead the corporation on the most crucial issues. Monitoring and governance matters, but the time has come to rebalance the responsibilities of the board. Directors need to know when to take charge, when to partner, and when to get out of the way. Charan, Carey, and Useem describe this emerging trend and argue that its overall impact on business performance will be positive. They offer a new roadmap both to CEOs and directors so that senior executives can better balance board oversight with their day-to-day operations of the firm, and directors have a better understanding of when to lead, when to partner, and when to stay out of the way. Based on work with and study of board leaders and chief executives of Fortune 500 firms across the globe, Boards that Lead is that new roadmap, showing what this new partnership model of leadership looks like-and how to make it work.

    الوصف: The entrepreneurial university-- and indeed the entrepreneurial researcher - has been tasked with making an impact. This international collection raises questions about "who" becomes the proper academic subject, fitting-in and getting ahead, and "what" falls off the agenda. In a time when the measure of educational impact risks being curtailed, shaped and measured through specific and pre-determined economies of value and use, this collections dwells on different (non)academic landscapes and the bodies, values and subjects that inhabit and disrupt them. It presents professional-personal reflections on research experience as well as interpretative accounts of navigating fieldwork and broader publics, politics and practices of (dis)engagement primarily through a feminist, queer and gender studies lens. Such concerns are practically related to the (in)accessibility of research practices, audiences, users and communities in and even beyond varied International fieldwork sites. It offers an interdisciplinary consideration of 'public sociology', the ethics of engagement, counter-publics and episodic politics, and issues of ownership and responsibility, agency and constraint.

    الوصف: Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis. Their early and unexpected deaths propelled them to iconic status, as beacons for the values of individuality and authenticity. However, with each passing year, the images of the lead men become further removed from their original humanity. From Converse to cake, this book examines how their 'brands' lend credibility to commerce, while the increasing worth placed on the singers provides a modern example of a secular belief system propelled by media, technology and the value of immediacy in the 2.0 world. Journeys to spaces and places associated with the two singers are akin to pilgrimages, sacred trips that hope to capture and connect with the very essences that the men have been stripped of in their ever-widening appeal. Within this context, Curtis and Cobain become guides and Anglicised role models in the search for personal identity and community in the modern uncertain world.

    الوصف: The financial world has undergone a fundamental transformation. The crisis of 2007-2008, which was so devastating in its reach and consequences has transformed many aspects of the markets and has altered conventional wisdom regarding prudent risk management. Much has rightly been written on the crisis and the 'lessons learned'; many 'post mortems' have been performed on failed and rescued institutions; new regulatory edicts and rules have been drafted and put into action, and new techniques of risk-taking and risk management have emerged. But perhaps most importantly, the financial crisis demonstrated that liquidity is the most vital component of a properly functioning financial system ₆ it is the essential lifeblood of banks and other financial institutions, and, by direct extension, the essential lifeblood of all other parts of the corporate and governmental world.
    In Liquidity Risk: Managing Asset and Funding Risk, Erik Banks reflects on the current thinking and ideas to provide a roadmap on the new rules, regulations and governance processes for sound liquidity risk management. Significantly revised and reflecting the very latest changes in the landscape, the book considers the effects of illiquidity on the development and expansion of the financial crisis, and how lack of liquidity brought various major financial institutions to the point of financial distress. New regulatory liquidity measures, such as those contained in Basel III, Solvency II, the Dodd Frank Act and the FSA's prudential rules, are analyzed. New corporate risk management issues are also considered, including those related to liquidity risk governance and culture, liquidity risk appetite, and liquidity risk pricing.
    In addition, key measurement techniques, which are rapidly becoming the standard, are discussed in detail; these include vital measures such as high quality liquid assets and liquidity buffers, defensive intervals, liquidity coverage ratios, net stable funding ratios, liquidity gaps, counterbalancing capacity, behavioral maturities and multi-step stress tests. The framework that emerges from this new and revised material is essential reading for those interested in effectively managing liquidity risks.

    الوصف: In recent years the continuity of many firms has been achieved by means of negotiating processes whereby liabilities can be restructured, a task which takes up a great deal of senior management's time. Companies in a number of sectors have managed to survive ₆ or not ₆ thanks to their capacity to restructure and refinance debt. Consider the real estate sector. The majority of companies in this industry have undergone long and difficult processes to restructure heavy debts, the result of excessive investment, forcing them to embark on various restructuring processes at enormous cost in terms of destruction of value for both shareholders and creditors. The Executive Guide to Corporate Restructuring is a practical guide to the process of restructuring, covering both debt and operational restructures. Written for managers and executives, it takes readers through the entire restructure process, from how a restructure works, to the different kinds of restructure and the role of management in the build-up, execution and aftermath of such an event. Featuring numerous real-world examples and taking a hands-on approach to the topic, this will be an invaluable guide for anyone in a management or senior management position looking to understand the intricacies of corporate restructuring, and their own role in navigating the company through the restructure process.

    جغرافية الموضوع: Japan.

    الوصف: "In our increasingly globalized world of shared cultures, we have seen the spread of addictive behaviors such as smoking and various forms of gambling. As these behaviors and subsequent habits continue to spread across borders, it is paramount for policy makers to consider the economics of habit, information and uncertainty in their practices. Junmin Wan takes a two prong approach to analyzing this pressure in Japan in his new volume Consumer Casualties. He first clarifies the consumer preference for habit to identify useful approaches toward solving a number of economic issues, such as gambling and other addictive practices. He then tests his theories with data on smoking, lottery gambling and pachinko gambling, to determine their causalities and distill proposals for policy makers"--
    "This work tries to examine the economics of habits via theoretical models and empirical testing of the models using micro and macro datasets, as they pertain to addressing various economics issues, including habit forming or addictive behaviors such as smoking and various forms of gambling. The issues of information asymmetry (e.g., the effect of lottery receipt on experiment on tax evasion) and uncertainty as they pertain to consumers and their preferences and habits are also included"--

    الوصف: Syndicated loans are loans provided by a group of lenders and administered or arranged by investment banks and are one of the key ways in which firms raise capital for growth. Agreements can range from straightforward 'vanilla' transactions, to highly complex agreements with numerous payout structures and conditions, and a key part of the process is documentation and negotiation. This new edition provides a highly practical and comprehensive resource for bankers and lawyers, at all levels of experience, involved in international lending. The author covers the terms of international loan documentation with comprehensive explanations of the purpose of the provisions, and of areas that may require negotiation, with an emphasis on the wording of the Loan Market Association (LMA) documents. It also covers term loans and revolving credits and includes comparisons of the provisions required for investment grade borrowers and for asset and project based credit risks, and includes discussion of security, quasi security, and legal opinions.
