Sinopse

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 sheeta 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.

As the mystery unravels, it shows the great misses and deceptions, colossal mistakes, policy failures, and negligence that cost America its leadership position.This story could become the story of America's own decline and fall. But there is hope. In the past America has shown resilience to bounce back from the agony of defeat to win in the long run. This book gives a path to rebuild American AI and secure such a victory.

For generations, marketing has been hypocritical. Weve been  taught to market to others the way we hate being marketed to  (cold-calling, flyers, ads); yet were all aware that no one  likes to be marketed to. People dont read newspapers for the  ads (if they still read them at all); they dont sit by the  phone waiting for a cold call; and no one rushes to their mailbox  looking for junk mail. Yet for generations we keep teaching the  same old stuff; cold calling, direct mail, advertising. Weve  come to accept that a 0.01% response rate is a  success and every no could lead to the  next yes.   UnMarketing is here to tell readers that we need to  UnLearn the old way. Potential and current customers want to be  listened to, validated, and have a platform to be heard --  especially online. This book will show people how to create a  mindset and systems that perpetually attract the right customers.  Instead of teaching the tired method of Push re the  logical choice).  Marketing isnt a task,  a role or speciality. It will help all  professionals realize that every single time a potential  customer comes across a point of engagement with your company --  you are marketing.
