Based on four years of research and testing with a variety of nonprofits, this proven process guides you through the steps to sound strategy. You’ll find tools for clarifying your competitive advantage; generating a strategy screen—criteria for evaluating strategies to be able to respond quickly; handling big questions; developing and testing strategies; and implementing and adapting strategies. This useful guide also includes exhibits and case examples showing how concepts play out in real-life; a total of 27 tools—10 of which are essential for forming strategies; Theory to Action sidebars telling you which tool to use for a given task; and a link to downloadable content with all the tools and interactive worksheets you’ll need, as well as a Facilitator’s Guide to Real-Time Strategic Planning that gives you everything you need: the day’s agenda, instructions for preparing flip charts, prework to be done, handouts, and worksheets.

Plata Publishing Rich Woman: Because I Hate Being Told What To Do
Book SynopsisIt's time to find the Rich Woman in you... Let’s face it. When it comes to money, men and women are different. While the how-to's of investing, how to buy and sell a stock, or how to find a profitable rental property, are the same, there are the unique issues that women face when it comes to money and investing. Here are some eye-opening statistics: • 47% of women over the age of 50 are single. • 50% of marriages end in divorce (The #1 thing couples fight about is money). • In the first year after a divorce, a woman’s standard of living drops an average of 73%. • 90% of all women will be solely responsible for their financial well-being within their lifetime. What worked for our mothers and grandmothers is not working for most of us, and our daughters and granddaughters. So now is the time for women to get smarter with their money. Kim Kiyosaki’s passion is to educate and encourage women to create the financial security and peace of mind they want and deserve in their lives. That’s why she wrote Rich Woman. You’ll love Rich Woman if you: • Never want to lose sleep over money again • Want to take control of your financial future • Are tired of looking for a rich Prince Charming • Demand true independence. Start your journey to financial independence today with Kim Kiyosaki’s first book, Rich Woman.

Channel View Publications Ltd Histories, Meanings and Representations of the
Book SynopsisThis book surveys current writing on the history of the modern hotel, focusing on three areas of vibrant and timely scholarly enquiry: the uniqueness of the American hotel, the contested status of the colonial and postcolonial hotel, and the hotel’s embroilment in violent conflict. It explores the hotel as an institution that incubates innovation, enables commercial relations on a variety of scales, and supplies an arena for negotiating relations of political, cultural, and economic power. The volume presents a number of case studies, including the hotel in wartime and as a terrorist target, and critically engages with innovative scholarship that links the relationship of the hotel to wider narratives of Western modernity. It is aimed at tourism studies scholars, as well as history and critical and applied tourism studies students, at undergraduate and graduate levels.Trade ReviewSimply a must for anyone interested in hotels, Kevin James’s engaging historiography of scholarship on the topic is both exemplary in form and extremely valuable for its comprehensiveness. As a result, this book stands as an important and delightful contribution to the unique interdisciplinary dialogue that hotels continue to generate. * Robert A. Davidson, University of Toronto, Canada *This informative and thought-provoking book is a reminder of the important place occupied by hotels in the history of tourism and how they are a theatre for and window onto wider economic, sociocultural and political processes. The author writes in an accessible and engaging style, providing valuable insights and fascinating stories.

Berrett-Koehler Publishers Bedtime Stories for Managers: Farewell to Lofty
Book SynopsisIn forty-two succinct, surprising essays, legendary scholar Henry Mintzberg brings management down from the clouds and onto solid ground.If you''re like most managers and things keep you up at night, now you can turn to a book that''s designed especially for you! But you won''t find talking rabbits or princesses here. (There is a cow, but it doesn''t jump.) Henry Mintzberg has culled forty-two of the best posts from his widely read blog and turned them into a deceptively light, sneakily serious compendium of sometimes heretical reflections on management. The moral here is this: managers need to leave their castles and find out what''s actually going on in their kingdoms. And like real bedtime stories, these essays have metaphors galore. So prepare to grow strategies like weeds and organize like a cow. Discover the maestro myth of managing, find the soft underbelly of hard data, and learn why downsizing is bloodletting and your board should be a bee. Mintzberg writes, "Just try not to be outraged by anything you read, because some of my most outrageous ideas turn out to be my best. They just take a while to become obvious."

Columbia University Press The New Stock Market
Book SynopsisThe New Stock Market covers a wide range of issues including the practices of high-frequency traders, insider trading, manipulation, short selling, broker-dealer practices, and trading venue fees and rebates. The book illuminates both the existing regulatory structure of our equity trading markets and how we can improve it.Trade ReviewIn immensely readable fashion, The New Stock Market connects the fundamentals of market structure to new (and old) challenges: insider trading, market manipulation, high-frequency trading. A profoundly important look at how our stock markets have changed and the regulatory first principles necessary to keep them orderly and equitable as these changes continue. -- Donald Langevoort, Georgetown UniversityThe New Stock Market is a truly impressive achievement. It deserves an audience not only among scholars to whom its intellectual framework is already familiar but also among practitioners. Analysts, portfolio managers, risk managers, and C-suite executives who read this book will afterward stand on much firmer ground when opining on prospective securities legislation and regulation. -- Martin Fridson * Enterprising Investor *Integrating the perspectives of information economics and the law for understanding markets for trading equity, this book will be of considerable interest to students of markets and the law, as well as securities lawyers, investment bankers, analysts, economists, and regulators. -- Chester Spatt, Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business and MIT Golub Center for Finance and PolicyThe New Stock Market achieves a difficult balance: it is accessible yet sophisticated. The mysterious new terms of market microstructure—"high-frequency trader," "dark pool," "maker-taker" rebates, and "internalization"—are all fluently explained, and this serves as a prelude to the authors' careful weighing of the policy choices. Few books in this area have been this lucid and this rigorous at the same time. -- John C. Coffee, Columbia UniversityEquity capital markets are going through unprecedented change: new technology, new players, new venues, and new trading strategies. How can regulators respond to these developments without impeding market efficiency? These are the issues that Fox, Glosten, and Rauterberg analyze in their outstanding book, providing vital—and novel—insights and recommendations that should be welcomed by both regulators and investors.

Harvard Business Review Press Can You Hear Me?: How to Connect with People in a
Book SynopsisA Washington Post BestsellerYour manual for remote and virtual work.Communicating virtually is cool, useful, and now even more ubiquitous and necessary than ever. But we're often reminded that the quality of human connection we experience in many forms of virtual communication is awful. We've all felt disconnected in a video conference, frustrated that we're not getting through on the phone, upset when our email is badly misinterpreted, or anxious that we're being misunderstood.How can we fix this? In this powerful, practical book, communication expert Nick Morgan outlines five big problems with communication in the virtual world--lack of feedback, lack of empathy, lack of control, lack of emotion, and lack of connection and commitment--and shows how to overcome them as we shift to working remotely more and more.Morgan argues that while virtual communication will never be as rich or intuitive as a face-to-face meeting, recent research suggests that we need to learn is to consciously deliver a whole set of cues, both verbal and nonverbal, that we used to deliver unconsciously in the pre-virtual era. He guides us through this important process, providing rules for virtual feedback, an empathy assessment and virtual temperature check, tips for creating trust in a virtual context, and advice for specific digital channels such as email and text, the conference call, Skype, and more.Whether you're an entrepreneur, an independent professional, or a manager in an organization that has more than one office or customers who aren't nearby, Can You Hear Me? is your essential communications manual for twenty-first-century work.Trade ReviewAdvance Praise for Can You Hear Me?:David Meerman Scott, bestselling author, The New Rules of Marketing and PR--"A few years ago, the promise of virtual communications seemed like some sort of utopia. But it's increasingly tough to actually get our points across to other people online.

Amen, MD, founder, Amen Clinics; New York Times--bestselling author, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life--"Nick Morgan's fascinating and important new book, Can You Hear Me?, will surely promote good brain health by helping people handle social media better, avoid embarrassing virtual mistakes, and feel more connected in their work and life."Sabina Nawaz, CEO coach, keynote speaker, and writer; former executive, Microsoft--"As a coach to CEOs who've helped shape the half-real, half-virtual world we live in today, I know well what a formidable challenge it has become to successfully communicate in that world. Nick Morgan's new book helps us all rise to that challenge."Rebecca Corliss, Vice President of Marketing, Owl Labs--"At Owl Labs, our goal is to make video communication feel more natural and inclusive by accurately capturing facial expressions, body language, and the other visual context. Nick Morgan's simple rules for improving virtual communications are sorely needed."Garrett M. Graff, Executive Director, Cyber & Technology Program, The Aspen Institute--"With wit and wisdom, Nick Morgan reveals a dark side of the modern communication revolution. This important book shows how we need to work to ensure that technology doesn't rob us of the humanity, emotion, and empathy that can make life--and work--fun."Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister, Canada--"Nick Morgan's new book, Can You Hear Me?, is a must-read for the clarity it brings to the confusing, increasingly virtual world we all live in today.

Anthem Press How Transformative Innovations Shaped the Rise of
Book SynopsisOver the last 2,000 years, critical innovations have transformed small regions into global powers. But these powers have faded when they did not embrace the next big innovation. Gerard J. Tellis and Stav Rosenzweig argue that openness to new ideas and people, empowerment of individuals and competition are key drivers in the development and adoption of transformative innovations. These innovations, in turn, fuel economic growth, national dominance and global leadership.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Competing Against Luck
Book SynopsisThe foremost authority on innovation and growth presents a path-breaking book every company needs to transform innovation from a game of chance to one in which they develop products and services customers not only want to buy, but are willing to pay premium prices for.How do companies know how to grow? How can they create products that they are sure customers want to buy? Can innovation be more than a game of hit and miss? Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen has the answer. A generation ago, Christensen revolutionized business with his groundbreaking theory of disruptive innovation. Now, he goes further, offering powerful new insights. After years of research, Christensen has come to one critical conclusion: our long held maxim—that understanding the customer is the crux of innovation—is wrong. Customers don’t buy products or services; they hire them to do a job. Understanding customers does not drive innovation success, he argues. Understanding customer jobs does. The Jobs to Be Done approach can be seen in some of the world’s most respected companies and fast-growing startups, including Amazon, Intuit, Uber, Airbnb, and Chobani yogurt, to name just a few. But this book is not about celebrating these successes—it’s about predicting new ones. Christensen contends that by understanding what causes customers to hire a product or service, any business can improve its innovation track record, creating products that customers not only want to hire, but that they’ll pay premium prices to bring into their lives. Jobs theory offers new hope for growth to companies frustrated by their hit and miss efforts.This book carefully lays down Christensen’s provocative framework, providing a comprehensive explanation of the theory and why it is predictive, how to use it in the real world—and, most importantly, how not to squander the insights it provides. Trade ReviewThis game-changing book is filled with compelling real world examples, including from inside Intuit. Jobs Theory has had --and will continue to have ---a profound influence on Intuit's approach to innovation. It just might change yours, too. -- Scott Cook, Co-founder & Chairman of Intuit Clayton Christensen's books on innovation are mandatory reading at Netflix. -- Reed Hastings, Co-founder and CEO of Netflix Competing Against Luck offers fresh thinking on how to get innovation right. Clayton Christensen and his coauthors offer a compelling take on how to truly understand customers by the progress they're seeking to make in their lives. Bravo! -- Muhtar Kent, CEO of The Coca-Cola Company Clay Christensen and his co-authors have presented critical business thinkers and doers with a breakthrough theory that will change how leaders approach innovation by reverse engineering from a high value and focused customer job to be done. I have read it cover to cover--and will ask my top team to do the same. -- Ron Frank, IBM [Competing Against Luck] will likely become part of the thoughtful founder's strategy arsenal. True to its unpretentious name, jobs theory is disarmingly simple... "What job is our customer trying to accomplish?" stands as one of those great business questions that companies deploy to stimulate creative juices at the start of meetings. But Competing Against Luck doesn't just introduce a tool, it also lays out a program. -- Inc. Magazine The Theory of Jobs to Be Done has the essential trait of any good management theory: Once explained, it seems glaringly obvious. -- Philip Delves Broughton, Wall Street Journal In an age of big data and hyper segmentation, Christensen's thinking is refreshing and clarifying. This book will relieve you of tired marketing conversations and invite you into worlds of new and ultimately, defining possibilities. Competing Against Luck is a must read for anyone working on developing or sustaining a distinctive brand. -- Maureen Chiquet, former CEO of Chanel and author of forthcoming Beyond the Label As a long-time fan of Clay Christensen, I was eager to read Competing Against Luck -- and it didn't disappoint. This book has the potential to change the way you view innovation. Engaging and well-written, Christensen and his co-authors caused me to stop and really think about how Khan Academy is growing. I highly recommend it. -- Sal Khan, Founder & CEO, Khan Academy Competing Against Luck is an excellent primer on the both the theory, and on the applications of this theory to many areas of business. A fun and quick read - and a set of ideas that will be useful when you negotiate with vendors or plan your next program. -- Inside Higher Education

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Development Projects Observed
Book Synopsis Originally published in 1967, the modest and plainly descriptive title of Development Projects Observed is deceptive. Today, it is recognized as the ultimate volume of Hirschman''s groundbreaking trilogy on development, and as the bridge to the broader social science themes of his subsequent writings. Though among his lesser-known works, this unassuming tome is one of his most influential. It is in this book that Hirschman first shared his now famous Principle of the Hiding Hand. In an April 2013 New Yorker issue, Malcolm Gladwell wrote an appreciation of the principle, described by Cass Sunstein in the book''s new foreword as a bit of a trick up history''s sleeve. It can be summed up as a phenomenon in which people''s inability to foresee obstacles leads to actions that succeed because people have far more problem-solving ability that they anticipate or appreciate. And it is in Development Projects Observed that Hirschman laid the foundation fo
