Sinossi

More than thirty leading scholars and finance practitioners discuss the theory and practice of using enterprise-risk management (ERM) to increase corporate values. ERM is the corporate-wide effort to manage the right-hand side of the balance sheet—a firm's total liability structure-in ways that enable management to make the most of the firm's assets. While typically working to stabilize cash flows, the primary aim of a well-designed risk management program is not to smooth corporate earnings, but to limit the possibility that surprise outcomes can threaten a company's ability to fund its major investments and carry out its strategic plan. Contributors summarize the development and use of risk management products and their practical applications. Case studies involve Merck, British Petroleum, the American airline industry, and United Grain Growers, and the conclusion addresses a variety of topics that include the pricing and use of certain derivative securities, hybrid debt, and catastrophe bonds.Contributors: Tom Aabo (Aarhus School of Business); Albéric Braas and Charles N.

    The African American population in the United States has always been seen as a single entity: a "Black America" with unified interests and needs. In his groundbreaking book Disintegration, longtime Washington Post journalist Eugene Robinson argues that, through decades of desegregation, affirmative action, and immigration, the concept of Black America has shattered. Now, instead of one, there are four distinct groups: a Mainstream middle-class majority with a solid stake in society; a large Abandoned minority with less hope than ever of escaping poverty; a small Transcendent elite, whose enormous wealth and power make even whites genuflect; and newly Emergent groups of mixed-race individuals and recent black immigrants who question what black even means.Using historical research, reporting, census data, and polling, Robinson shows how these groups have become so distinct that they view each other with mistrust and apprehension. And yet all are reluctant to acknowledge division. Disintegration shines light on crucial debates about affirmative action, the importance of race versus social class, and the ultimate questions of whether and in what form racism and the black community endure.

    Who Killed Creativity? reveals what it takes for  companies, leaders, managers and individuals to build a culture of  creativity and innovation and find new solutions to current  problems. Creativity and  innovation are critical for future satisfaction and survival: in a  recent survey of 1500 CEOs, creativity was found to be the most  important quality in leadership, more important than integrity and  global thinking. And yet research shows that creativity is now  declining at an alarming rate. In this intriguing (and creative!)  book, Andrew and Gaia Grant help to reveal why creative thinking  and innovation are so important, to identify the possible reasons  for the decline of creativity in our generation, and then to  provide practical tools in creative thinking and problem  solving.   The book is organised into two  parts:  1.      Principles: The death and  resuscitation of creativity and  2.      Practice: How can we get it  back   Key features:  §  How the loss of creative confidence affects  the bottom line.  §  What are the secrets behind creative genius  and how can it can be harnessed?  §  Teaching creative thought and re-wiring the  creative brain.  §  The steps for real transformation comes from  strategic planning, innovating, communicating, and  implementing.  §  The three cogs for successful  innovation:  -           1. Individual approaches   method: 7 strategies for creative thinking  -           2. Team Actions   method: the creative walkaround  -           3.

    Pay equity has become a hot topic in recent years with pay transparency viewed as an important way to narrow gender and racial pay gaps. However, pay transparency policies and practices remain highly controversial, with divergent attitudes based largely on conjecture or anecdote.In Exposing Pay, Peter Bamberger provides evidence-based insights into how pay communication policies and practices impact outcomes at individual, organizational, and societal levels. Bamberger reviews findings from the recent surge in pay transparency research to help employees, managers, and policymakers better understand when pay communication policies and practices might enhance organizational performance and address social inequality and when such practices can lead to harmful consequences. Starting with a short overview of how companies have addressed the question of pay transparency over the past century and a brief summary of contemporary transparency regulations in dozens of countries around the world, Exposing Pay presents findings on the various forms of pay transparency on such outcomes as individual task performance, employee retention and turnover, citizenship behaviors such as helping, counter-productive work behavior, and pay dispersion or spread.

What makes a seamless leader?
