The Lilliput Press Ltd Paddy Mo: A Biography of Dr.Patrick Moriarty
Book SynopsisThis biography charts the life of Paddy Moriarty, the Kerryborn Chief Executive of ESB, a man who revolutionized corporate life during his leadership of the largest semi-state company in Ireland in the 1980s and 1990s. Born in Dingle in 1926, he became one of Ireland's leading business people of the twentieth century as he transformed ESB into a world-class electricity provider and a highly efficient, commercially driven company. Having built the power infrastructure of the new State, ESB played a critical role in the revitalization of the Irish economy and, on Moriarty's watch, proceeded to assist in developing the foundations of the Celtic Tiger economy. His vision was to make ESB 'the best electricity utility in the whole world', developing the highest standards of infrastructure at home while developing an international business in the economies of North and Central America, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. Moriarty joined ESB as a clerical officer in June 1945 at the age of nineteen and quickly gained a reputation as a young man with a determined view on how business should be run. He rose rapidly through the company ranks. He was head of Research and Audit in 1961, Assistant Chief Financial Officer in 1967 and Director Personnel in 1970, before becoming Chief Executive in 1981 and Chairman ESB in 1991. The man they called Paddy Mo conducted comprehensive and difficult industrial relations negotiations with the trade unions, ensuring harmony in the workplace during the 1980s – a decade of fast-moving change, massive technological reform and associated redundancies. His interpersonal skills, as well as his business instincts, became legendary. With Taoiseach Charles Haughey he helped pioneer the North-South Erne Waterways project in a bid to revitalize border communities. He was also a significant patron of the arts, encouraging sponsorship of painters, sculptors and musicians. His wide-ranging interests included sports and horse racing, with one of the Leopardstown classics being named in his honour. A sense of family, which included his younger brother Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh the renowned GAA broadcaster and commentator, was central to his world view.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Corporate Governance Debate, 1873-1914
Book SynopsisThe downfall of Enron, Global Crossing, WorldCom and other large American firms, and the resulting shockwaves in the world economy, have brought the subject of corporate governance to the forefront of business thinking. As well as new theorising on the subject, many researchers in academia, business and the public sector are turning to the events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which in many ways parallel those of today. The rise of big trusts and corporations in the USA in the late 19th century was accompanied by serious legal and ethical abuses of power by these corporations and their managers. The result was a bitter battle between the business establishment on the one hand and reforming journalists, lawyers and economists on the other, a battle which focused around a single idea: what is the purpose of the business corporation? What is its place in society? What are its duties to that society, and what are the responsibilities of its managers and owners? This set includes works by a number of major early writers on corporate governance. The books presented here capture that debate in all its variety, and the views of their authors continue to resonate today.Table of ContentsVolume 1 [462pp] D.C.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Traumjob oder Albtraum - Chefarzt m/w: Ein Rat-
Book SynopsisChefärztin und Chefarzt kann einer der am meisten zufriedenstellenden und zugleich anspruchsvollsten Berufe sein. Neben der fachlichen Expertise soll der Chefarzt (w/m) über soziale und kommunikative Kompetenz, Führungsstärke und Organisationsgeschick verfügen, um sein Team als Vorbild der Abteilung sicher und konsequent zu führen. Heute wird unter der zunehmenden Kommerzialisierung der Krankenhäuser wirtschaftliches Denken vorausgesetzt. Dies bringt Ärzte oft in ein Dilemma zwischen anreizfreier Indikationsstellung im Patienteninteresse und vorgegebenen ökonomischen Zwängen.Wie sollten sich Chefärzte (w/m) verhalten, wie ist die Zerrissenheit zwischen Patienten- und Mitarbeiterfürsorge einerseits und Wirtschaftlichkeit andererseits zu lösen?Hierzu will das Buch durch eine multiperspektivische Sichtweise erfahrener Kliniker und namhafter Autoren aus den Bereichen Ethik, Recht, Coaching und Verwaltung Antworten geben. Deshalb ist es nicht nur für Ärzte auf dem Weg zur und solche in Leitungsfunktion hilfreich, sondern auch für Klinikverwaltungen, Medizinrechtler, Berater und Patienten sowie für alle, die hinter „die Kulissen“ schauen möchten.Verantwortungsvolles Handeln im Spannungsfeld zwischen Patientenanspruch, Ökonomie und Renditeerwartung, Sozialgesetzgebung, ärztlicher Ethik und moralischer Würde.

Erik Allemeyer, in: Der Chirurg, Heft 4, 2019)“… Die Lektüre eignet sich ... für jeden, der über den Karriereschritt in diese veränderte Welt nachdenkt - und vielleicht zögert - , als auch für bereits Betroffene als anregende und umfangreiche Quelle und Wegweiser. ...

Sehr umfassend werden aus allen denkbaren Perspektiven mit viel Informationsgehalt sowohl die historischen Hintergründe, das ökonomische Umfeld, juristisches Fachwissen und zahlreiche Fallstricke für die Tätigkeit des heutigen Chefarztes aufgezeigt. ... gibt wertvolle Anregungen zur kreativen Ausgestaltung des offenbar vollkommen gewandelten Berufsbildes Chefarzt m/w ...” (Dr. med. Erik Allemeyer, in: Der Anaesthesist, Heft 9, September 2019)“... Die Lektüre eignet sich ganz entsprechend dem Titel des Buches sowohl für jeden, der über den Karriereschritt in diese veränderte Welt nachdenkt - und vielleicht zögert -, als auch für bereits Betroffene als anregende und umfangreiche Quelle und Wegweiser. ... liest dieses Buch mit großem Erkenntnisgewinn und Anregung zur Selbstreflexion. ... So liegt hier ein absolut empfehlenswertes Buch für eine breite Leserschaft vor.” (Dr. med. Erik Allemeyer, in: Medizinische Klinik - Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, Heft 3, April 2019) “… Es ist eine sachliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Rolle des Chefarztes im modernen Krankenhaus unter den Vorgaben der heutigen Gesundheitspolitik. … werden viele Fragen wie z.B. die Kassenzulassung, Ermächtigung sowie Rechts- und Vertragsfragen diskutiert, sodass das Buch für jeden Chefarzt, aber auch für jeden Oberarzt eine ergiebige Informationsquelle darstellt, die kaum Fragen auslässt. … auch Vorstände von Krankenhäusern, Geschäftsleitungen sowie Pflegeleitungen werden von diesem Buch in hohem Maße profitieren können.” (Prof. Dr. Friedrich Wolff, in: Frauenarzt, Heft 5, Mai 2017) “... Der gute Chefarzt (w/m) ist ein Segen für jedes Krankenhaus und daher eine schützenswerte Spezies. Verwaltungsleiter haben noch nie einen Patienten geheilt! Vor allem aber sind die Politiker gefordert, sich die richtigen Berater für das Gesundheitswesen zu suchen. Deshalb ist das Buch nicht nur für Ärzteauf dem Weg in verantwortliche Positionen hilfreich, sondern es ist auch Klinikerverwaltungen, Medizinrechtlern, Beratern und politikern zu empfehlen ...” (Prof. H. H. Büttner, in: Ärzteblatt, Jg. 27, Heft 8, 2017) “… Das Buch ist allen Ärzten zu empfehlen. Klinik- und Verwaltungsleitern, Referatsleitern aber auch Politikern sollte es auf den Nachttisch gelegt werden. Auch für angehende Mediziner ist diese Lektüre wichtig, damit sie erahnen können, auf welche Herausforderungen sie sich später einlassen …” (Prof. Dr. med. habil. Hans-Egbert Schröder, in: Ärzteblatt Sachsen, Heft 3, 2017) “… Durch den multiperspektivischen und multidisziplinären Ansatz verschafft das Buch dem Leser die Sicht auf die Tätigkeit des Chefarztes nicht nur aus dem Blickwinkel erfahrener Kliniker, sondern auch von der Warte namhafter Chefarzt-Berater aus den Bereichen Ethik, Recht, Versicherung, Coaching und Verwaltung.

Es werden vielfältige Lösungsansätze zur Umorientierung und Neubesinnung auf ärztliche Professionalität vorgeschlagen. … ist es ein wertvoller Ratgeber im Spannungsfeld zwischen Patienteninteresse, Ökonomie und Renditeerwartung, Sozialgesetzgebung, ärztlicher Ethik und moralischer Würde.” (Dr. med.

BIS Publishers B.V. The Service Innovation Handbook: Action-oriented
Book SynopsisThis is an action-oriented book for managers and entrepreneurs searching ways to tackle issues they face in terms of developing and delivering services. The book focuses on service organizations, but has a broad interpretation of what services are. Directed to the business world and combines inspirational text that is full of examples, with the features of a useful handbook of practical methods with associated templates. The central argument is that managers and entrepreneurs designing service offerings will benefit from using approaches and methods from design and the arts, especially at the early stages of projects. Sometimes called “design thinking” or “design innovation”, such approaches help organizations explore and create new configurations of people and things that support users, customers, staff and partners in creating value together. In short, this book argues that design and arts-based approaches are valuable to managers and entrepreneurs designing services, when uncertainty and ambiguity are high. It shows when and how to use these approaches, introduces specific methods, reviews their strengths and limitations, and finally helps managers think through what it takes to start using them in projects and within teams and develop the culture and behaviours that access the creativity they support.

The University of Chicago Press Tournament of Lawyers The Transformation of the
Book SynopsisTournament of Lawyers traces in detail the rise of one hundred of the nation's top firms in order to diagnose the health of the business of American law. Galanter and Palay demonstrate that much of the large firm's organizational success stems from its ability to blend the talents of experienced partners with those of energetic junior lawyers driven by a powerful incentivethe race to win the promotion-to-partner tournament. This calmly reasoned study reveals, however, that the very causes of the spiraling growth of the large law firm may lead to its undoing. Galanter and Palay pose questions and offer some answers which are certain to change the way big firm practice is regarded. To describe their work as challenging is something of an understatement: they at times delight, stimulate, frustrate and even depress the reader, but they never disappoint. Tournament of Lawyers is essential to the understanding of the business of the big law firms.Jean and Colin Fergus, New York Law Journal

The University of Chicago Press Palma Africana
Book SynopsisIt is the contemporary elixir from which all manner of being emerges, the metamorphic sublime, an alchemist's dream. So begins Palma Africana, the latest attempt by anthropologist Michael Taussig to make sense of the contemporary moment. But to what elixir does he refer? Palm oil. Saturating everything from potato chips to nail polish, palm oil has made its way into half of the packaged goods in our supermarkets. By 2020, world production will be double what it was in 2000. In Colombia, palm oil plantations are covering over one-time cornucopias of animal, bird, and plant life. Over time, they threaten indigenous livelihoods and give rise to abusive labor conditions and major human rights violations. The list of entwined horrorsclimatic, biological, socialis long. But Taussig takes no comfort in our usual labels: habitat loss, human rights abuses, climate change. The shock of these words has passed; nowadays it is all a blur. Hence, Taussig's keen attention to words and writing throug

The University of Chicago Press Measuring and Accounting for Innovation in the
Book SynopsisMeasuring innovation is a challenging task, both for researchers and for national statisticians, and it is increasingly important in light of the ongoing digital revolution. National accounts and many other economic statistics were designed before the emergence of the digital economy and the growth in importance of intangible capital. They do not yet fully capture the wide range of innovative activity that is observed in modern economies. This volume examines how to measure innovation, track its effects on economic activity and on prices, and understand how it has changed the structure of production processes, labor markets, and organizational form and operation in business. The contributors explore new approaches to and data sources for measurement, such as collecting data for a particular innovation as opposed to a firm and using trademarks for tracking innovation. They also consider the connections between university-based R&D and business start-ups and the potential impacts of innoTrade Review"For those of us interested in the need to measure better—which means understanding better—the increasingly intangible economy, this is a really interesting book. It covers the waterfront from conceptual frameworks down to nitty gritty measurement questions." * Diane Coyle, Enlightened Economist *"Despite their wide range, the essays in this book add up to a fascinating glimpse of an emerging new understanding of the twenty-first century economy, like a distant building taking shape as you approach it on a foggy day.

How do American banks affect how companies operate? Do theoretical constructs correspond to actual behavior? Because business enterprises are complex institutions, these questions can prove difficult to address. All too often, firms are treated as the atoms of economics, the irreducible unit of analysis. This accessible volume, suitable for course use, looks more closely at the American firminto its internal workings and its genesis in the Gilded Age. Focusing on the crucial role of imperfect and asymmetric information in the operation of enterprises, Inside the Business Enterprise forges an innovative link between modern economic theory and recent business history.

Book SynopsisCarbon dioxide sequestration is a technology that is being explored to curb the anthropogenic emission of CO 2 into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide has been implicated in the global climate change and reducing it is a potential solution.Trade Review"Each separately readable chapter is structured in introduction, experimentals, results and discussion. This allows a structured understanding. Although this book does not solve all the questions raised when talking about safety and reliability of CCS-technology, it provides a base of knowledge. Increased research on this questions contributes to a tremendous extension of current knowledge, basing on this publication."
