DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirm Forward is a business fable that takes you on a journey with Bennie Stewart, a newly appointed managing partner of a CPA firm. Bennie's promotion to managing partner comes at time when the firm is in crisis having just lost their two largest clients and two of their best and brightest team members. Bennie must find the answer to these three questions: 1) How to differentiate and grow the firm in a post-recession, new normal business environment. 2) How to attract and retain ideal clients. 3) How to attract, retain, and accelerate the professional development of his team members. All three of these issues point to one answer: Level 5 Service. Level 5 Service is a structured approach to delivering high-value advisory services. The Level 5 Service model has generated over $100million in new, non-traditional revenues for firms across North America. Level 5 Service is the cure for Random Acts of Consulting. The practical logic embedded in the Level 5 Service continuum makes it easy for any practitioner to immediately add-value to their client relationships. This book provides a step-by-step how-to for practitioners who want to live up to the moniker of Trusted Business Advisor.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis monograph represents a unified coherent perspective of financial markets and the theory of corporate finance. The Fisher model is used in corporate finance texts to note the foundations of the net present value rule, but has not been developed further in textbooks as a perspective for students of the finance discipline. This book articulates corporate finance from a common perspective and model: by generalizing the Fisher model to include risks, it is possible to exposit and prove the classic corporate finance theorems and to establish a common foundation for the discipline. The classic theorems of corporate finance are collected, stated, and some are proved. The reader is challenged to prove corollaries and theorems to see how the model provides the fundamental building blocks for the discipline.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book examines driving factors and the effects of globalisation on economic development through firm and product-level data. The book is organised into four themes, i.e., productivity, innovation, wage and income gap, and within-firm reallocation of resources.

The book looks at Asian economies as well as Australia and how they have experienced substantial structural change and become more integrated into the global economy and will be a useful reference for those who are interested in learning more about the relationship between globalisation and firm performance. This book will appeal to policy makers and researchers interested in the impact of globalisation on firm performance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProfessional service firms differ from other business enterprises in two distinct ways: first they provide highly customised services thus cannot apply many of the management principles developed for product-based industries. Second, professional services are highly personalised, involving the skills of individuals. Such firms must therefore compete not only for clients but also for talented professionals. Drawing on more than ten years of research and consulting to these unique and creative companies, David Maister explores issues ranging from marketing and business development to multinational strategies, human resources policies to profit improvement, strategic planning to effective leadership. While these issues can be complex, Maister simplifies them by recognising that 'every professional service firm in the world, regardless of size, specific profession, or country of operation, has the same mission statement: outstanding service to clients, satisfying careers for its people and financial success for its owners.'
