Sinopse

Bloated Budget Reports investigates the pervasive issue of inflated budgets and opaque financial allocations in both government and organizations. It examines how systemic pressures, such as bureaucratic self-preservation and political maneuvering, contribute to wasteful spending. The book highlights the lack of budgetary transparency and its direct impact on public services, business profitability, and overall economic health. Did you know that opacity in financial reporting can breed inefficiency, creating opportunities for waste and potential malfeasance?

 
The book begins with a historical overview of budget development, tracing its evolution to today's complex systems. It then explores core concepts like budgetary inflation and cost-benefit analysis through case studies across various sectors, including defense spending and healthcare administration.

 
Ultimately, the book provides practical strategies for enhancing budgetary transparency and accountability, such as stricter auditing protocols and whistleblower protections. The approach blends statistical analysis with in-depth case studies, offering a novel framework for identifying patterns of overestimation and misallocation.

The Business of Race - How to...

Margaret H. Greenberg, Gina...

In the business world, incident-driven, company position statements on Black Lives Matter or Stop Asian Hate are not proxies for the heavy lifting that will penetrate and sustain a shift in the status quo. Advancing racial equity to disrupt institutional racism requires more than a company-wide memo or a tab on a corporate website. Businesses often water down, negate or skirt this reality by touting successes from its cousin—diversity. However, you cannot advance a strategy you do not name. It's impossible to create an antiracist workplace when we avoid speaking the words "race" and "racism." 
 
   
  
Coauthored by two business women, one Black and one White, The Business of Race can help us all prepare for this transformative work. The authors outline both the inner work (raising our own individual awareness and creating new ways of thinking and being), and the outer work organizations must undertake. 
 
 
  
Woven throughout The Business of Race are interviews with dozens of business professionals across myriad industries, fields, and organizational levels. Their stories bring voice to the challenges and opportunities businesses face every day, and provide listeners with the courage and tools to openly, honestly, and effectively address the deeply complex, emotional, and intimidating dynamic of race and racism in the workplace.
