  Executive Economics - Ten...

  What do economists know that business executives find useful? Economics ought to be indispensable for business decision-makers because it deals with the issues executives face daily: what to pro duce, how and how much, at what price, how best to use resources (time, labor, capital), how to understand markets. Why, then, do managers often think that economists' theories are ivory-tower and impractical? Perhaps because most economics texts are mystifying, jargon-rid den, and written from every perspective except that of the line manager.In Executive Economics: Ten Essential Tools for Managers, Shlomo Maital brings economics down to earth, back to the hard day-to-day decisions that executives have to make. He shows how all decisions can be organized around two key questions: What is it worth? What must I give up to get it? Answering these questions depends upon finding and maintaining the right relation in the "triangle of profit" -- cost, price, and value.Each of Executive Economics ten chapters focuses on one or more legs of the triangle of profit, defines a decision tool, and illustrates how it can be used to improve the quality of executive decisions. Drawing on recent examples from both Fortune 500 firms and smaller companies, Maital shows why economics main contribution is to deepen executives' understanding of the structure of their costs, and to explain why some of a business's highest expenses are those that never appear on a check stub or in a profit-and-loss statement.Executive Economics is written for executives, about executives, and by an author who has both taught executives at MIT's Sloan School of Management for over a decade and served as a consultant to small and large businesses. It is must reading for executives who need simple, effective decision-making tools to give them an edge in today's competitive global economy.

  Keeping the Barbarians Out: How...

  There are a lot of bad guys out there. For some odd reason, a lot of them seem to want to break into your company's networks and applications. As the CIO, it's your job to make sure that this does not happen. Got any thoughts on how to go about doing that? 
  
   
  What You'll Find Inside: 
  
  CIO’S NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DEFEND AGAINST THE INSIDER THREAT
  WHY BYOD SPELLS DOOM FOR CIOS
  DO WE REALLY NEED TO ENCRYPT OUR CUSTOMER DATA? 
  3 WAYS TO GET YOUR COMPANY TO TAKE DIGITAL SECURITY SERIOUSLY
  
  
   
  As much as we like to spend our time looking outwards in order to detect the next threat that our company may be facing, perhaps we're looking in the wrong direction. Just as big of a deal may be the insider threat that lurks within the company.  No matter where it comes from, cybercrime is your problem to deal with. 
  
   
  CIOs have to deal with trends as they come and go. Right now the Bring Your Own Device To Work (BYOD) phase is in full swing and if you aren't careful could cause a lot of problems for the IT department. At the same time, it's the code that your teams create that will secure your applications. Do you know if they are writing secure code or are they leaving doors wide open? 
  
   
  In order to measure where the threats are coming from and how big of deal they are, CIOs need to become comfortable with measuring the level of risk that they are dealing with. A big part of measuring risk is getting information about threats from other CIOs. This can be difficult to do because CIOs really don't like to share information like this. 
  
   
  Since we can't always be certain that we can keep the bad guys out, we need to make sure that we've taken the needed steps to secure our networks. Should they happen to get inside of the company, we need to take extra steps to make sure that they can't get what they came for. This brings up the interesting question of whether or not we should go to the effort and expense of encrypting our customer data. 
  
   
  No matter what our final decision on encrypting the company's digital assets is, we still have a responsibly as CIO to make sure that the company understands the threats that it is facing and that it starts to take digital security seriously.
