Hardback. Condición: New. Beat the Odds fills a crucial void in the current business literature. It clearly illustrates why great organizations slip from leader to follower to road-kill, and how organizations can "beat the odds" and avoid this fate. This is a concise must-read for senior executives, and for any manager interested in seeing his or her organization avoid corporate death and build for the future.Over the past 10 years, there have been more than 600,000 business bankruptcies in the United States. Research findings confirm that the odds are very slim for any organization to survive more than a few decades. Many books that purport to offer secrets of business success only study companies that are currently successful. Other books provide pieces that don't fit together to solve the puzzle in real-world practice.Beat the Odds evolved from a study of a broad pool of companies across a wide spectrum of performance over an extended period of time. The book presents a tested and comprehensive nine-part framework for understanding, building and ensuring long-term organizational success through the ups and downs of business cycles, competitive cycles and management cycles. Supported by real case studies, each of the nine framework elements includes a clear description of the underlying principles pertaining to both successful and dysfunctional behaviors.The assessment and diagnostic tools provided in this book are designed to give managers deep insights into their firm's underlying challenges and for performing their own gap analysis of where they are now, versus where they should be. It also features the factual basis for corrective action and prescriptive steps for immediate deployment of this framework.

Hardback. Condición: New. When we think of coral reefs we tend to think of beautiful rock-like structures teaming with colorful fish and other marine life. But what exactly are the "corals" in the coral reef? What are these creatures that start out very small and then have the ability to grow large enough to be seen from outer space? Are they animals, plants, microbes, or rocks? With humor and clarity, David Vaughan takes us on an incredible journey through the secret life of corals to answer these questions, and more. He shines a light on the unlikely partners that comprise actual corals and reveals the curious ways they live, grow, reproduce, protect themselves, and defend their turf. In addition, Vaughan helps us understand why corals are so important for all life-both on land and in the sea. This generational title clearly explains the most pressing environmental threats corals face today, as well as new coral restoration practices that provide hope for their future. This book is a compelling and fun read and is for everyone interested in the marvelous workings of the natural world. Dive in and prepare to be amazed!

Hardback. Condición: New. This book shares the experiences and insight of a Montessori educator over the course of her 40 years as a Montessori teacher, administrator, school owner, and Montessori teacher trainer. It addresses the need for parents and educators to better understand the Montessori philosophy and to embrace it as a means to solve the problems inherent in the traditional structure of education in the United States. Despite the fact that Dr. Maria Montessori created this method over 100 years ago, most of her discoveries about how children learn and the effect of their environment on their developing brains have only recently been validated by current technology and specialists in brain development. These recent discoveries and the real-world success of numerous high-profile Montessori-educated entrepreneurs have helped the popularity of this educational philosophy.Turning Education Inside-Out: Confessions of a Montessori Principal shows the impact that the Montessori experience has on the developing child, clears up misconceptions about exactly what Montessori is, and helps prospective parents determine if Montessori is right for their child. Montessori educators will also find the author's insights into the challenges of successfully implementing the Montessori philosophy into the classroom and school to be helpful in their own journey.

Paperback. Condición: New. Small business owners, entrepreneurs, and many managers and engineers involved in the development, production, sales, marketing, or distribution of products all need a basic understanding of economics. Yet most struggle with economic concepts and are ill equipped to make good economic decisions at work or to manage their own economic lives effectively. Even many highly experienced and financially trained professionals struggle with economic concepts and how to apply them.This problem stems from the fact that the vast majority of books and courses available on economics are too heavily entrenched in complex unproven academic theory, political ideologies, and myths rather than proven historical facts. These other books also have little to no practical real-world application.Simplified Real-World Economics, by financial guru and best-selling author Michael Thomsett, dispels the myths and explains microeconomics and macroeconomics in an easy-to-understand manner. It's supported by dozens of real-world examples from history and the author's own first-hand experience, giving it the authenticity that too many books lack.This book is designed with the practical application of economic concepts in mind to help managers, engineers involved in product development, small business owners, and entrepreneurs make better professional decisions. In addition, it will also help readers more effectively manage their own economic lives.Discusses economic principles and concepts without declining into the complexity or unproven academic theory found in most other books on the topic.Describes the science of economics in non-technical terms transforming a complex technical topic into a discipline that readers, and not just those seeking a degree in economics, can understand and actually use.Illustrates major economic principles as applied in the real world.Explains economics from a practical and business point of view.Provides a practical context to real-life management situations involving textbook economics.Uses recent situations in the news to demonstrate why and how business professionals need and use economics every day.

Hardback. Condición: New. Corporate executives, lawyers, and board of directors suffer from groupthink when confronted with a crisis, restructuring or litigation, which results in a communications meltdown that hurts a company's number one asset-its reputation.

By analyzing real-life examples (Lehman Brothers, BP, Toyota, MGA/Mattel, etc.), it offers innovative solutions and communications strategies for decision makers to help avoid groupthink and keep good reputations intact. If you are a CEO, CFO, general counsel, board of director, or part of the C-suite, understanding how to communicate in a distressed situation is crucial. A public relations nightmare might be just around the corner. Be prepared!
