DOWNLOAD EBOOKJim Mays Spinmeisters is the first commentary of its kind in the world of literature. It may likely become the definitive work describing message management or, as he describes it in many helpful examples throughout the book, the art of conditioning a narrative for the purpose of influencing others. He demonstrates this in all facets of life including areas where you would obviously expect to find it such as advertising and politics for sure, but also hidden subliminally in other everyday occurrences within government policies or lack thereof, business, religion and health influences. As the subtitle might infer, he explains that there is more than one way to say something, and homage is paid to those artful few who are able to grasp a subject and restate its meaning in a twist to serve their particular purpose; that is, beyond the temporal abilities of mere mortals. These masters of persuasion, especially those who plot and plan specific effects, are highly regarded in their fields. He explains that we know them professionally as political consultants, crisis management consultants, marketing strategists, religious proselytizers, doctors, psychiatrists, business managers, military planners, and accountants among others; also, not to be excluded, they can be found among friends, relatives, associates, and occasionally in the mirror. There are no sacrosanct subjects. He addresses the foundations of religion, government policy, medical doctrine, homophobia, treatment of women, and other important topics of our society each exemplifying the study of persuasion and its abilities to shape perception.

Thomas William Phelps (1902-1992) spent over 40 years in the investing world working as a private investor, columnist, analyst, and financial advisor. His illustrious investing career began just before the stock market crash in 1929 and lasted into the 1970s. In 1927, he began his career with The Wall Street Journal where he was a reporter, news editor, and chief. Beginning in 1936, he edited Barron's National Financial Weekly. From 1949 to 1960, he served as an assistant to the chairman and manager of the economics department at Socony Mobil Oil. Following this venture, he was a partner in the investment firm of Scudder, Stevens & Clark until his retirement in 1970.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe co-founder and longtime president of Pixar updates and expands his 2014 New York Times bestseller on creative leadership, reflecting on the management principles that built Pixar’s singularly successful culture, and on all he learned during the past nine years that allowed Pixar to retain its creative culture while continuing to evolve. “Might be the most thoughtful management book ever.”—Fast Company For nearly thirty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner eighteen Academy Awards. The joyous storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable. As a young man, Ed Catmull had a dream: to make the first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream as a Ph.D. student, and then forged a partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the twenty-five movies that followed—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and defy convention, such as: • Give a good idea to a mediocre team and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team and they will either fix it or come up with something better. • It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them. • The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them. • A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody. Creativity, Inc. has been significantly expanded to illuminate the continuing development of the unique culture at Pixar. It features a new introduction, two entirely new chapters, four new chapter postscripts, and changes and updates throughout. Pursuing excellence isn’t a one-off assignment but an ongoing, day-in, day-out, full-time job. And Creativity, Inc. explores how it is done.
How to Take Action for Successful Performance Management

ISBN-13: 1631578367
DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is intended for practitioners, students, and researchers who are interested in designing, using, assessing, and researching performance management systems. Managerial personnel involved in such activity will hold many beliefs about how their organization functions. This text uses the philosophy of pragmatic constructivism to show how managerial beliefs that underlie action can be made explicit and so facilitate their assessment and improvement. This involves recognizing and integrating the four dimensions (facts, possibilities, values, and communication) that represent how managers relate to the reality in which they operate. When managerial beliefs are based on an accurate representation of reality, they are more likely to be successful. Problems occur where reality is misrepresented in managerial beliefs. This is especially so in performance management, as the book illustrates using real-world examples. Specific topics addressed include planning and decision making, performance management of investment center managers, strategic performance management, and operational performance management.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInhaltsangabe:Zusammenfassung: Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde zum grössten Teil in den USA erstellt. Der Autor hatte über einen Studentenaustausch und ein Praktikum in Miami/USA einen Kontakt zu einem Start-Up-Unternehmen aufgebaut, mit dem zusammen er schliesslich seine Diplomarbeit erarbeitete. Unterstützt wurde er dabei massgeblich von Frau Prof. Dr. Nickerson von der Barry University in Miami, einer Partneruniversität der GSO FH Nürnberg, zu der intensivste Beziehungen bestehen. Das Ziel der Arbeit bestand darin, aufbauend auf das erfolgreiche Business Modell der Firma eAppeals LLC neue Geschäftsfelder in Europa zu identifizieren und zu bewerten. Dazu war es erforderlich, Erfolgsgrundlagen der Firma in den USA zu untersuchen, die Übertragbarkeit der spezifischen Lösungen auf anderen Anwendungen zu überprüfen und schliesslich neue Märkte zu finden und zu vergleichen. Der Verfasser benutzte zu letzterem eine spezifische Methode, nämlich die sog. „Strategische Portfolio Analyse“. Die Struktur der Arbeit ist sehr gut: nach Einführung gibt der Autor einen Überblick über relevante Literaturansätze zum Thema „Business Plan“ (Kap. 2). Anschliessend entwickelt er in Kap. 3 die zugrunde liegende Idee (Kap.3), beschreibt die Firma (Kap. 4) und entwirft dann die methodische Vorgehensweise (Kap. 5). Die Haupteile der Arbeit sind sodann die Marktanalyse bzw. die Suche nach neuen strategischen Geschäftsfeldern (Kap. 6) und schliesslich die Strategische Portfolio Methode (Kap. 7). Die Arbeit überzeugt insgesamt durch ihre kreative und auch gründliche Vorgehensweise. Der Verfasser hat sich insbesondere in den empirischen Teilen tief in die anspruchsvolle Materie hineingearbeitet. Juristische, technische und organisatorische Aspekte werden detailliert untersucht. Die Marktanalyse stützt sich auf eine sehr gute Datenbasis mit aktuellsten Zahlen. Besonders gelungen ist der Teil der Strategischen Portfolioanalyse, in dem der Autor auf ein 8-köpfiges Experten-Team zurückgreift. Diese Experten mit verschiedensten beruflichen Hintergründen bilden eine starke Kompetenz-Gruppe, die durchaus das Know-how und die Erfahrung hat, die gefundenen Märkte zu bewerten. Es ist zu hoffen, dass die gefundenen Ergebnisse zu einer Realisierung führen. Eine gute Grundlage für den Markteinstieg wurde jedenfalls mit dieser Diplomarbeit gelegt. Abstract: Establishing something new, working towards a vision and following a path of independence and uniqueness all describe the [...]
