Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Today's business world is characterized by increasing change - technological, cultural, social, economic, and personal - the net effect of which is increasing anxiety, insecurity, and more pressure than perhaps ever before on today's employees, managers, and business owners. "Managing by values" describes a new measure and level of organizational success - beyond that of "Fortune 500" organizations. Those organizations committed to discovering a realistic path that enables all stakeholders to win based on their commitment to a common purpose and a set of values that applies to everyone - owners/shareholders, employees, and customers alike - can join the ranks of the "Fortunate 500". This list is defined, not by size or volume or profits, but by the quality of service available to customers and the quality of life accessible to employees. Numerous books written over the last decade have stated both the need for, and power of, an organizational culture whose strategies, processes, and people are managed by a common vision, purpose, and set of values. "Managing by values" goes beyond merely lobbying for such a management approach. Blanchard and O'Connor provide readers with a practical game plan that clarifies, communicates, and aligns the organization's practices at all levels and in all areas, with a defined, functional set of guiding values adopted throughout the organization. Many previous books have addressed the importance of values, but "Managing by values" provides a clear methodology for defining and implementing such values to achieve organizational, group, team, and individual objectives. This groundbreaking book addresses the void created by and the challenge inherent in the process of becoming one of the "fortunate" few in today's business world - a new breed of organizations, owners, managers, and employees dramatically reshaping their own futures by becoming "Fortunate 500" champion performers. Written in the simple, direct story format that has become a trademark of Ken Blanchard's previous books, "Managing by values" builds on the mass of diverse research, experiences, and literature on organizational, group, and individual performance and satisfaction.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Whatever politicians say, the world of full-time employment for all has vanished. In The Future of Work, Charles Handy faces up to the facts and to the positive possibilities of the future. What do people want from work? Handy's analysis of the real function, as well as the future, of work takes in the history - the values of the ancient Greeks, the Protestant work ethic included - and the psychology of today's workers and jobless. Should jobs be the soel provider of interest and satisfaction, stability, money and people to meet? Could we survive without the social control, wealth creation and tax-income they bring in? Handy believes that the future must be worked for now. he argues powerfully for new forms of work - for more part-time work and shorter careers, for more voluntary and co-operative work, for more respect for work in the home and the community. He sets out the possibilities, both good and bad, for self-employment, and for organizing work federally, contractually or in the Japanese style. The broad sweep of The Future of Work takes in the education the workforce of the future needs, and how to organize it - right up to the moment of training for an early retirement. Handy looks at how tomorrow's work will affect tomorrow's families, and what part the unions will have to pay. His book calls for a re-examination of our priorities and a wider perspective on the biggest problem this nation faces - before society is torn apart in a bitter struggle between those who have jobs, and those who do not.

Andrew Hutchinson, Nationwide Building Society "I have read the Synopsis and three draft chapters of 'Personal Finance' with interest and feel sure that the proposed book will prove a valuable tool in the quest to achieve a greater degree of financial literacy in the UK.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. With their remarkable electoral successes, Green parties worldwide seized the political imagination of friends and foes alike. Mainstream politicians busily disparage them and imitate them in turn. This new book shows that 'greens' deserve to be taken more seriously than that. This is the first full-length philosophical discussion of the green political programme. Goodin shows that green public policy proposals are unified by a single, coherent moral vision - a 'green theory of value' - that is largely independent of the `green theory of agency' dictating green political mechanisms, strategies and tactics on the one hand, and personal lifestyle recommendations on the other. The upshot is that we demand that politicians implement green public policies, and implement them completely, without committing ourselves to the other often more eccentric aspects of green doctrine that threaten to alienate so many potential supporters.
