New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber and Essence® bestseller La Jill Hunt return with a story of love, money, power, and respect in the next edition of the popular Family Business series. Five years ago, Orlando Duncan created the perfect drug in HEAT. It made the Duncans more than two hundred and fifty million dollars and was on its way to making them billionaires. However, they abruptly stopped manufacturing the drug when it was proven to cause cancer in rats. Yes, even as drug distributors, they still had a moral compass, placing lives over profit despite the overwhelming demand. When Orlando is awakened by an alarm in his old lab, he discovers that not only have all his computers, equipment, and notes been stolen, but the robbers have also taken over a million tabs of HEAT that he’d left behind for future experiments—tabs that he had sworn to his family he would destroy. Dr. Brandi Richardson is one of the most brilliant research chemists in the world, but her propensity for cutting corners led to her firing from both Dow Chemicals and Dupont. She’s now working at CVS as a clerk, but things are about to change for her in a big way. Billionaire Alexander Cora is known as the Moor by business associates and enemies. His company, Cora International, is a publicly traded EU defense contractor. It is also a front for one of the largest weapons, drugs, and illegal contraband smuggling rings in the world. For some reason, he has set his sights on the Duncan family. That can’t be good, because Alexander plays for keeps, and he has not been known to lose. Niles Monroe, the handsome hitman and Paris Duncan’s one true love, is back from the dead, and it’s only a matter of time before he comes looking for her. These rich and powerful people are on a collision course. When the dust settles, who will still be alive, and who will be on top?

The purpose of this book is to promote discussion about educational objectives generally and objectives in the teaching of educational psychology in particular. To this end, Part 1 contains a review of the literature concerned with these two subjects, and also reports on investigations into the views of British students, teachers, college staffs and educational psychologists on the question of the objectives of educational psychology in teacher preparation. A comprehensive bibliography is provided. A further important section of Part 1 proposes a method of systematizing teaching objectives, and suggests a heuristic device for the generation of objectives at different levels of conceptual generality and complexity of learning. An example of this model in the field of educational psychology is presented, which illustrates the general approach to the generation of teaching objectives and proposes a specific approach to the production of teaching objectives in educational psychology. In Part 2 a selection of readings in the fields of objectives and educational psychology provides the reader with some of the key source material referred to in Part 1. As well as being a valuable and stimulating addition to the current debate on the specifying of educational objectives, the arguments in this book about the role of educational psychology in teacher preparation raise some fundamental questions for those concerned with teacher education.

Family Business and Management: Objectives, Theory, and Practice characterizes the specificity of the functioning of family businesses through the prism of their objectives. It contains both theoretical considerations about the essence of family entrepreneurship and the objectives set by family businesses, as well as the results of a survey conducted among family business managers. The study concerned the objectives of family businesses and made it possible to confront the planned objectives with those actually implemented by these entities. Thanks to this approach, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of management, taking into account both business and non-business (family) aspirations. The classification models created in the course of the analyzes additionally help to organize the population of family businesses and better understand its diversity. The book also shows the impact of succession plans on setting objectives, as well as the importance of the management styles used in the implementation of objectives set by family businesses. This book will be valuable to students at an advanced level, academics, and practitioners. It addresses the topics with regard to management and organizational studies and will be of interest to organizational scholars, consultants, and leaders interested in establishing and realizing goals in family business.
