Book Synopsis"If you understand completely what I am going to tell you, from this moment on, your life will never be the same again."—Earl NightingaleThis amazing message was first played for a group of salespeople at Earl Nightingale's insurance agency. They were utterly electrified. Word of it spread like wildfire, and everyone who heard it was positively ignited into action. Requests for a recording of the message came pouring in—thousands of requests per week. Within no time, more than 200,000 people had called, written, or just walked right into Earl's office to request a copy. As years went by, that number soared above 1,000,000.Today, more than 65 years later, The Strangest Secret remains one of the most powerful and influential messages ever recorded. Now in print, updated with never before published content and a foreword by Dave Ramsey, The Strangest Secret will inspire anyone in your organization to truly understand how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Book SynopsisResponding to the growing importance of economic reasoning in legal scholarship, this innovative work provides an essential introduction to the economic tools which can usefully be employed in legal reasoning. It is geared specifically towards those without a great deal of exposure to economic thinking and provides law students, legal scholars and practitioners with a practical toolbox to shape their writing, understanding and case preparation.The book's clear focus on economic methods poses a refreshing change to conventional textbooks in this area, which tend to focus on content-related theories. Recognizing that it is often difficult to derive adequate conclusions for legal arguments without first understanding the methodological limitations of economic studies, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of the most important economic concepts in order to bridge this gap. These include: game theory public choice and social choice theory behavioural economics empirical research design basic statistics Owing to its concise and accessible style, Economic Methods for Lawyers will provide an invaluable companion for legal scholars or practitioners who wish to utilise economic methods for developing legal argument.Contributor include: M. Englerth, S. J. Goerg, S. Magen, A. Morell, N. Petersen, K.U. Schmolke, E.V. TowfighTrade Review'Narrow-minded lawyers think they need no economics. Negligent lawyers think they need no help for understanding economics. Smart lawyers treat economic arguments as challenging but tractable, and turn to this book for advice. They will find themselves powerfully retooled.' --Christoph Engel, Max Planck Institute, Germany'For lawyers, getting familiar with "the economic approach" implies a heavy investment as they need to learn a new language (that of economics) and the various methods used by economists. This is where Economic Methods for Lawyers comes in: the most important methods needed to become versatile in law and economics are presented in a fashion perfectly fitted to the needs of lawyers.' --Stefan Voigt, University of Hamburg, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisThis book explores how entrepreneurship can be taught through case studies, arguing that entrepreneurship education needs specific cases and case methods to teach students entrepreneurial skills and mindsets. Providing unique perspectives and examples on how case teaching can be applied in entrepreneurship education, the book draws together a wide range of real-life case studies. Informing and inspiring entrepreneurship educators, Part I employs theoretical perspectives and practical procedures related to case teaching in entrepreneurship education. Novel and innovative case methods for entrepreneurship education are explored as well as the theoretical foundations of case-based entrepreneurship education. Part II offers 15 Nordic case studies divided into three main groups relating to becoming an entrepreneur, early-phase venture creation, and acting entrepreneurially in established organisations. Supplemented by online teaching notes, this thought-provoking book will be a valuable resource for entrepreneurship educators at higher education institutions. Questions and activities included in the case studies will also be useful for students with an interest in entrepreneurship.Trade Review‘Entrepreneurship education is a rapidly growing research and teaching field. This volume offers a comprehensive and critical discussion of how to design and utilize the case method for increased entrepreneurial learning from a Nordic perspective. Containing both concepts and practices in case teaching as well as actual cases, the volume provides an outstanding collection of works that expands our understanding of case-based entrepreneurship education.’ -- Diamanto Politis, Lund University, Sweden‘While the case method is a long-standing approach to entrepreneurship education, this volume, for the first time, brings together a strong foundation of entrepreneurship education theory and perspectives, a deep analysis of approaches to the case method, and a contextual lens which focuses on the Nordic perspective. This is a perfect reference for those interested in learning practical techniques for teaching cases as well as for those desiring to develop deeper theoretical knowledge of the case methodology in entrepreneurship.’ -- Candida G. Brush, Babson College, US, Nord University, Norway and Dublin City University, Ireland‘This all-star team of entrepreneurship educators from across Scandinavia has assembled a comprehensive, engaging discussion of the many components of case education. The distinctly Nordic focus is apparent in the unique individual entrepreneur, company, and context case studies as well as in overarching conversations about best practices in teaching and learning, and is a must read for any entrepreneurship educator, whether preparing to teach for the first time, or an experienced educator looking for new tools and repertoires.’ -- Siri Terjesen, Florida Atlantic University, US and Norwegian School of Economics, NorwayTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1 Case-based entrepreneurship education in and for the Nordic region 2 Lise Aaboen, Dag Håkon Haneberg, Siri Jakobsen, Thomas Lauvås, and Karin Wigger PART II REFRAMING THE CASE METHOD FOR TEACHING ENTREPRENEURSHIP FRAMING THE CASE METHOD FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION 2 Understanding cases as narratives in entrepreneurship education: a conceptual framework 20 Michael Breum Ramsgaard and Robert D.

Book SynopsisThe focus of this volume is on the business letter genre, a seminal and widely used genre in business communication. Since the introduction of the Internet, interest in this genre has increased once again, because of the digital format of the letter. E-mail has partially taken over the multiple functions of the traditional business letter and bypassed, again partially, the fax. However, the letter has also survived in its written form. Since the 1990s, genre theory has been receiving a lot of attention, both in academic and pedagogical circles. Discourse analysts have increasingly discovered the importance of the genre concept for the understanding of discourse. Not only do we get a better understanding of the linguistic characteristics (register, lexico-grammatical features) of texts, but we also become aware of their macrostructures which appear to be organised according to genre expectations and conventions rooted in the socio-cultural context. This evolution is also reflected in the different research approaches to the business letter, as shown by the various chapters of this volume.Table of ContentsContents: Paul Gillaerts/Maurizio Gotti: Introduction – Vijay K.
