Summary

Recent events have turned the spotlight on the issue of corporate accountability -- especially when it comes to protecting shareholder value. In the modern corporation, non-owners commonly manage day-to-day operations, and their decisions have a direct impact on the company's overall value. But what can management do to positively impact share price and protect shareholder investment? A Blueprint for Corporate Governance is unique in that it addresses shareholder value from a managerial perspective. This important book covers all essential corporate governance issues from this angle, providing detailed information and insights on: * Contemporary asset pricing models, and how they can help managers determine optimal returns on shareholder funds * Financial structures and dividend policies designed to advance shareholder interests * Methods for executives, managers and boards of directors to work as one to enhance and increase shareholder value.

    The Riddle - Where Ideas Come...

    Artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs thrive on their ability to be creative. New wealth flows to those who successfully introduce new ideas.While organizations claim to value creativity, they are often at a loss when attempting to conjure up novel ideas, particularly in a world where technology has made information readily available to everyone. As a result, leaders ask, "Where will the next big idea come from?" In response, they allocate significant resources for innovation; however the source of creative inspiration has remained a mystery.Science has shown that it's possible to create conditions under which the mind is more prepared to have insights, or "aha! moments." In this fascinating book, Andrew Razeghi examines the precursors to creative insight and offers clear-cut methods for making "Eureka moments" routine practice rather than lucky accidents. Combining the latest scientific research, interviews with current innovators, and studies of history's most creative minds, he dissects the creative process and presents a practical approach for inspiring innovation.The Riddle illustrates how replicating these precursors - curiosity, constraints, connections, conventions, and codes - can increase your odds of success at innovation. For example, the author reveals how to inspire creativity through controllable and reproducible thoughts and behaviors such as altering your mood, changing the context in which you solve problems, creating metaphors, and even simply writing things down. He also explores the role of sleep, memory, and ethnicity as they pertain to creative insight.The Riddle takes the mystery out of the creative process and plants it squarely in the realm of the scientific. Using the techniques outlined in this book, innovators can draw on the "Eureka moment" again and again.

    Today, business organizations are finding it increasing  difficult to compete in a marketplace where everything looks  the same. In this environment customer service has become  the most important competitive differentiator for businesses. From  the customers standpoint service and the people who provide  that service is what makes a vendor unique. When you make customers  love you, you create an unbreakable bond that delivers long-term  growth and profit.  Far too many of todays books on customer service deal  with the mechanics and process of servicing customers, without  teaching account managers how critical interpersonal skills are in  creating real customer loyalty and competitive differentiation. The  fact is customers are not loyal to products, services, prices, or  companies. Instead, they are loyal to people they like, trust and  believe in. This book provides a practical, actionable and easy to  implement approach to building unbreakable emotional bonds with  customers that last a lifetime.

    In Defense of Liberal Democracy...

    In Defense of Liberal Democracy is a clarion call for today's divided time: a bold reaffirmation of the liberal democratic principles that have carried America through each crisis in its history—and can do so again.Merging expert historical, political, and economic analysis, In Defense of Liberal Democracy shows how our recent technological revolution—what high-profile economist Manuel Hinds calls the Connectivity Revolution—has led to a crisis of divisiveness. Assessing the angry rhetoric and polarization of current political and social discourse in the US, Hinds considers the dangers of seeking populist solutions to our current upheaval and shows how the traditions and institutions of liberal democracy restored prosperity, freedom, and social equity during the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and other periods of political instability. Hinds examines our national past and present (up to and including the 2020 presidential election) to illustrate how current events can be as dramatic as any historical legacy in warning us of the danger of abandoning our democratic principles.
