Taylor & Francis Ltd Cyber Security Management
Book SynopsisCyber Security Management: A Governance, Risk and Compliance Framework by Peter Trim and Yang-Im Lee has been written for a wide audience. Derived from research, it places security management in a holistic context and outlines how the strategic marketing approach can be used to underpin cyber security in partnership arrangements. The book is unique because it integrates material that is of a highly specialized nature but which can be interpreted by those with a non-specialist background in the area. Indeed, those with a limited knowledge of cyber security will be able to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject and will be guided into devising and implementing relevant policy, systems and procedures that make the organization better able to withstand the increasingly sophisticated forms of cyber attack. The book includes a sequence-of-events model; an organizational governance framework; a business continuity management planning framework; a multi-cultural communication moTrade Review’Cyberattacks are growing in volume and sophistication and will continue to do so. The authors believe that attacks will increase in severity before adequate solutions can be developed and deployed. The book will be most valuable to those implementing a cybersecurity program who need a strategic overview of what is required, and to those who have implemented such a program and wish to validate it.’ Security Management, August 2015Table of ContentsCyber Security Management

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Price You Pay for College
Book SynopsisNamed one of the best books of 2021 by NPRNew York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice pick“Masterly . . .represents an extraordinary achievement: It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous.”—Daniel Markovits, New York Times Book Review“Ron Lieber is a gift.”—Scott Galloway The hugely popular New York Times Your Money columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make: what to pay for college—a decision made even more confusing because of the Covid-19 pandemic.Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple—over $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey. Lieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated. He also pulls the curtain back on merit aid, an entirely new form of discounting that most colleges now use to compete with peers.While price is essential, value is paramount. So what is worth paying extra for, and how do you know when it exists in abundance at any particular school? Is a small college better than a big one? Who actually does the teaching? Given that every college claims to have reinvented its career center, who should we actually believe? He asks the tough questions of college presidents and financial aid gatekeepers that parents don’t know (or are afraid) to ask and summarizes the research about what matters and what doesn’t.Finally, Lieber calmly walks families through the process of setting financial goals, explaining the system to their children and figuring out the right ways to save, borrow, and bargain for a better deal. The Price You Pay for College gives parents the clarity they need to make informed choices and helps restore the joy and wonder the college experience is supposed to represent.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Golden Passport Harvard Business School the
Book SynopsisThose holding Harvard MBAs are near-guaranteed entrance into Western capitalism’s most powerful realm—the corner office.Most people have a vague knowledge of the power of the HBS network, but few understand the dynamics that have made HBS an indestructible and powerful force for almost a century.Trade Review“[A] richly reported indictment of the school as a leading reason that corporate America is disdained by much of the country....in example after example, Mr. McDonald sets out his thesis that money and influence have distorted both the school’s curriculum and the worldview espoused by its professors.” — Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times “This is serious history, broad in its sweep and meticulous in the detail.” — Wall Street Journal “Duff McDonald’s The Golden Passport is the detailed story of Harvard Business School (HBS) that, willingly marinated in corporate money and influence, prepares each generation of “modern” corporate tycoons. HBS, while alert to shaping the latest management techniques, is largely indifferent to the ongoing corporate crime wave and other criminogenic behavior and externalities corrosive of fundamental civic values and economic equities. Readers can bury their noses in this prodigious tome and come away with a stench of affluent decadence.” — Ralph Nader “The Golden Passport is a tour-de-force about one of our nation’s most important and enduring symbols of capitalism. Whether you aspire to attend Harvard Business School or you disdain it for its disproportionate influence on Wall Street and in the executive suites of our major corporations, McDonald’s investigative-reporting masterpiece is a must read.” — William D. Cohan, New York Times bestselling author of House of Cards “The Golden Passport isn’t the first (and won’t be the last) time that pointed criticism has been aimed at the Harvard Business School, but it is certainly the most thorough to date. The story McDonald tells isn’t a simplistic one. Rather, he argues that the analytical modus operandi of Harvard-trained MBAs has damaged not just particular companies, but the very fabric of society itself. It’s a convincing and important call for change.” — Bethany McLean, co-author of The Smartest Guys in the Room Duff McDonald’s Golden Passport is a magisterial history of Harvard Business School and much more. It provides a powerful lens into the intellectual underpinnings and pragmatic failures of American business and American capitalism writ large. — Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class “Exploring how Harvard Business School became a ticket to the highest echelons of money, power, and influence, McDonald (The Firm) chronicles the school’s history in an irreverent, cynical, and frequently funny exposé of its pretensions...refreshingly substitutes skepticism for reverence, questioning the limits of business education and of capitalism in general.” — Publishers Weekly “A massively detailed history of Harvard Business School since its founding in 1908 and a searing critique of the school’s impact on American capitalism…..McDonald’s deep research into the 100-plus years of HBS-the faculty members, the courses offered, many of the students-is undoubtedly impressive.” — Kirkus Reviews “McDonald’s reporting highlights the school’s influence, such as detailing how HBS helped the U.S. win WWII by marrying mathematics and statistics to war strategy, and also how HBS helped define and establish the foundations of managerial knowledge in the country and put American management at the forefront of global business. ” — Booklist “Exploring how Harvard Business School became a ticket to the highest echelons of money, power, and influence, McDonald (The Firm) chronicles the school’s history in an irreverent, cynical, and frequently funny exposé of its pretensions...refreshingly substitutes skepticism for reverence, questioning the limits of business education and of capitalism in general.” —

Penguin Putnam Inc Authentic Gravitas Who Stands Out and Why
Book SynopsisHave a powerful impact—by being more like yourself rather than less, through this groundbreaking approach taught at the London School of Economics and companies worldwide.Organizational psychologist and executive coach Rebecca Newton has found that even her most successful clients still want more of one quality: gravitas. They want their words to carry weight, to have a positive, lasting impact on those around them. Gravitas can seem like an elusive, intangible quality, but it isn't about adopting the style of another or being someone you're not. Newton draws on extensive research and experience coaching business leaders to show what underpins authentic gravitas and how anyone can develop it. She presents the counterintuitive idea that in order to be valued, we shouldn't spend all our time and energy trying to stand out from the crowd; instead, we should focus on the crowd--connecting with others and understanding their needs in order to make a signi

Harper Business The Visual MBA
Book SynopsisJason Barron spent 516 hours in class, completed mountains of homework, and shelled out tens of thousands of dollars to complete his MBA at the BYU Marriott School of Business. Along the way, rather than taking boring notes that he would never read (nor use) again, Jason created sketch notes for each class—visually capturing the essential points of his education—and providing an engaging and invaluable resource. Once finished with his MBA, Jason launched a widely successful Kickstarter campaign distilling these same notes into a self-published book to help aspiring business leaders of all backgrounds and income levels understand the critical concepts one learns in business school. Whether you are thinking about applying to business school, are currently in college studying business, or have always wondered what is taught in an MBA program, this highly entertaining and visual book is for you.

Random House USA Inc The Money Class
Book SynopsisWhat does it take to create your New American Dream? Suze Orman, the woman millions of Americans have turned to for financial advice, says it’s time for a serious reconsideration of the American Dream—what promise it still holds, what aspects are in need of revision, and how it must be refashioned to fit our lives so that we can once again have faith that our hard work will pay off and that a secure and hopeful future is within our reach. In nine electrifying chapters, Orman delivers a master class on personal finance for this pivotal moment in time. She addresses every aspect of the American Dream—home, family, career, retirement. She teaches us that in order to create lasting security we must learn to stand in our truth. We must recognize, embrace, and be honest about what is real for us today and allow that understanding to inform the choices we make. The New American Dream is not the things we accumulate, says Orman, but the confi

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Interim Management
Book SynopsisDie befristete Übertragung von Managementaufgaben auf externe, selbständige Führungskräfte - das Interim Management - hat sich neben der Unternehmensberatung und der Zeitarbeit längst als eigenständige Dienstleistung etabliert. Es ist die Antwort der Praxis auf die fortschreitende Verselbständigung und Professionalisierung von Managementfunktionen in einem arbeitsteilig ausdifferenzierten Wirtschaftssystem. Der Rechtswissenschaft ist diese Dienstleistung bislang dagegen ein weitgehend unbekanntes Feld. Was verbirgt sich rechtstatsächlich dahinter? In welchen vertraglichen Strukturen vollzieht sich ein Interim Management? Welche Rechtsfragen sind mit der externen Delegation von Managementaufgaben verbunden? Katharina Uffmann bringt Licht in diese "black box", indem sie das ökonomische Phänomen erstmals aus rechtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive erklärt und systematisiert, um aufbauend hierauf die grundlegenden Rechtsfragen zu erörtern.

Antoni Bosch Editor, S.A. Cómo Adam Smith puede cambiar tu vida
Book SynopsisCon La riqueza de las naciones, su obra más famosa, Adam Smith ha sido considerado el santo patrón del capitalismo. Sin embargo, muy pocos saben cuánto tenía que decir el filósofo escocés sobre el comportamiento humano: sobre cómo nos percibimos a nosotros mismos, cómo nos relacionamos y qué decisiones tomamos en nuestra búsqueda de la felicidad. Smith desarrolló sus ideas sobre la naturaleza humana en una obra genial, La teoría de los sentimientos morales. La mayoría de los economistas nunca la han leído, y durante mucho tiempo el economista Russell Roberts no fue una excepción. Pero cuando finalmente se adentró en este libro del fundador de su disciplina, se dio cuenta de que probablemente se encontraba ante la mejor obra para conocerse a sí mismo que hubiera leído jamás.En Cómo Adam Smith puede cambiar tu vida, Roberts examina esta obra maestra relegada a menudo a un segundo plano y desvela el valioso tesoro de una sabiduría práctica e intemporal. La descripción que hace Smith de la naturaleza humana es tan relevante hoy como hace doscientos años. ¿Qué puede hacernos verdaderamente felices? ¿Conseguir la fama y la fortuna o el respeto de nuestros amigos y nuestra familia? ¿Se puede hacer del mundo un lugar mejor? Las inesperadas respuestas de Smith, cuando las enmarcamos en el rico contexto actual, la literatura, la historia y la cultura pop, resultan ser profundas y paradójicas, a la vez que enormemente entretenidas.

White nos ofrece una lúcida visión del liberalismo económico, la economía mixta, el socialismo y el fascismo, los locos años veinte, las teorías del ciclo económico y la Gran Depresión, la economía institucionalista y el New Deal, la revolución keynesiana, la influencia de la guerra en las doctrinas económicas, las nacionalizaciones y la planificación centralizada.En definiva, un viaje por las ideas que han marcado el pensamiento económico hasta su forma actual: ¿Cómo combatir la pobreza, la desigualdad, el paro? ¿Cómo promover un crecimiento equilibrado? ¿Austeridad, gasto público, regulación, privatizaciones? ¿Una política monetaria restrictiva o laxa? ¿Qué tipo de reforma del mercado laboral? ¿Ahorro, consumo, inversión, productividad? En la actualidad, cuando el eje central de todo proyecto político es su programa económico, la lectura de esta obra ayuda a entender la raíz de las opciones que pugnan por el poder.

Managers in the most affected industries should no longer postpone the launch of blockchain-inspired initiatives, being those initiatives either large implementations or pilot tests aimed at growing the maturity level on this technology. Once decided to launch a project, other key options are related to what type of platform to implement, as well as on which consensus mechanism to rely on. The book provides a useful state-of-the-art to address these decisions. On the other side, managers working in the less impacted industries might look at blockchain as a unique opportunity for innovation, pointing their attention on some cross-industry applications.
