La historia es un viaje por el tiempo. No solo porque permite recuperar un pasado en com?n para preservar la memoria, tambi?n ayuda a situarnos en el presente y a prepararnos para el futuro. El t?rmino conmemoraci?n, de contenido hist?rico, es una bella palabra que convida a una comunidad, a veces tan grande como una naci?n o la propia humanidad, a recordar, en compa??a, un determinado acontecimiento. Esta historia y esta conmemoraci?n son las que ahora nos convocan para una fiesta: el centenario de Fabricato.
Esta es una celebraci?n que integra a una de las m?s grandes textileras e industrias manufactureras del pa?s a lo largo del siglo XX con la Universidad EAFIT, un pariente un poco m?s joven, de sesenta a?os, que ha vivido junto a Fabricato una existencia cruzada por la transformaci?n. Bastar?a con decir que el alma de una universidad, que es su biblioteca, lleva en el caso de EAFIT el nombre de un fundador y, a la vez, presidente de Fabricato: el ingeniero textil Luis Echavarr?a Villegas. Pero no solo este fundador de EAFIT estuvo vinculado a Fabricato. Otro de sus fundadores, el ingeniero qu?mico Jorge Iv?n Rodr?guez, hizo su primera experiencia profesional en Fabricato, empresa en la que trab? amistad con un fundador m?s, quien, adem?s llegar?a a ser presidente de la textilera, Jorge Posada Greiffenstein. Otro de los fundadores, Luis Fernando Echavarr?a V?lez, llegar?a a subgerente de Fabricato. En total, cuatro de los dieciocho fundadores de EAFIT estuvieron relacionados de manera directa con la compa??a. De ah? que los v?nculos tan estrechos se mantengan todav?a.
Tambi?n, la compa??a norteamericana Burlington Mills, socia de Fabricato en Textiles Panamericanos (Pantex), fue clave en el nacimiento del Instituto Tecnol?gico, que completar?a la raz?n social de EAF con EAFIT. Y son m?s los emprendimientos y proyectos cruzados, como el hecho de que la primera aula especial de nuestro centro educativo lleve el nombre de Fabricato. La lista es m?s larga.
Por este motivo, la fiesta centenaria de esta emblem?tica empresa la sentimos como nuestra. La Universidad EAFIT agradece la confianza depositada en ella, y en especial en su Grupo de Investigaci?n en Historia Empresarial, que con su dedicaci?n durante los dos a?os corridos entre 2018 y 2019 logr? reconstruir y dejar memoria escrita y gr?fica de una historia llena de an?cdotas, de compromiso urbano y municipal, de generaci?n de empleo y riqueza, de innovaci?n permanente y de palanca del desarrollo econ?mico e industrial del pa?s. En s?ntesis, y como lo afirman los autores de esta obra conmemorativa, esta es la historia de una empresa que ha construido naci?n. Aqu? confluyen el legado y los logros que han permitido la supervivencia con excelencia de esta importante compa??a y que la preparan para otro nuevo siglo.

* Ein Grund, warum man ernsthaft in Betracht ziehen sollte, auf Facebook Anzeigen zu schalten, ist, dass Facebook Ads die F?higkeit haben, sich viral zu verbreiten.
* ABER: Sie m?ssen wissen, wen Sie wie ansprechen und was Facebook veranlasst, manche Anzeigen h?ufiger als andere erscheinen zu lassen.
* Und Sie m?ssen den wichtigsten Faktor kennen, der sicherstellt, dass Ihre Anzeigen ?berhaupt gesehen werden – und warum die meisten Leute das einfach nicht wissen.
* Das hat nichts damit zu tun, dass man die Richtlinien gelesen hat (obwohl das nat?rlich auch sehr wichtig ist!).
Aus diesem Grund wurde dieses E-Buch «Facebook – Anzeigen, Werbung & Promotion» geschrieben.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT Practical Guidance and Implementation «Writing Fair Value Measurement was a monumental task fraught with controversy not only in the U.S., but also abroad. Having coauthored a book with Mark as well as written one myself, I was even more impressed that Mark was able to navigate these fair value minefields and produce a work that will be a tremendous help to accountants and non-accountants alike. If you are looking for a 'one-stop' book on fair value measurement, this is it!» —Neil J. Beaton, CPA/ABV, CFA, ASA, Managing Director, Valuation Services, Alvarez & Marsal «In recent years, the FASB and the IASB have added many requirements for various assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. In this book, Zyla clearly describes how to implement fair value measurement and how investors and creditors should interpret it. The crisp writing and illuminating analysis will help readers to grasp the essence of fair value accounting and to apply it wisely.» —J. Edward Ketz, Associate Professor of Accounting, Pennsylvania State University «The focus of the book is on fair value measurement based on level 3 inputs. This is a critical area of valuations for financial reporting due to a false comfort given by routine application of evaluating models and assumptions without real possibilities of calibration. Mark Zyla offers an extraordinary help in understanding the reliability of the inputs and the outputs of the different methodologies and the inherent biases in each of them. The book is a precious support for better valuation both in U.S. GAAP and in IFRS fair value reporting.» —Mauro Bini, Full Professor of Corporate Finance, Bocconi University; Chairman, Management Board OIV (Organismo Italiano di Valutazione) Essential guidance on the fair value measurement process Now in a second edition, Fair Value Measurement: Practical Guidance and Implementation helps you succeed in understanding the fair value accounting rules that entities must follow. The result is a resource that you can rely on to understand the importance of valuation and the concepts that define it. In basic, nontechnical language, author Mark Zyla presents practical direction for best practices of financial valuation as well as for understanding the many FASB pronouncements involving fair value. An essential guide for auditors and valuation specialists, Fair Value Measurement: Practical Guidance and Implementation, Second Edition brings you up to speed on what fair value really means.

Most businesses don’t have a good understanding of the faith community and how to market to this huge audience in effective, culturally sensitive ways. Many attempts to market to Christians have backfired, because the marketers had little understanding of Christians’ values, taboos, and «hot buttons». Yet the size of the opportunity is enormous. Faith-Based Marketing provides everything business leaders need to understand 140 million Christian consumers and effectively reach them. It explains who Christians are, what they want, and provides traditional, new media, and word-of-mouth strategies to communicate with and engage them and their churches. The book also includes a valuable directory of top Christian organizations, churches, and events, to help marketers and business leaders find out whom to contact and how.

There's been a staggering increase in trustee/beneficiary litigation and hostility, but that doesn't mean it's inevitable. Plenty of trusts are running smoothly, with positive experiences on all sides. This book shows you how to set up your trust to succeed from the start, with step-by-step guidance and expert insight. Express clear and thoughtful intent for the trust Create a healthy and supportive culture Select the right trustee, trust protector, and trust advisor Take the time to prepare before initially meeting the beneficiary Conduct a productive first meeting to set a tone for the relationship Historically, there has been little consideration given to the culture of trusts, and this oversight may be a key driver of the behavior that's becoming more prevalent. Family Trusts explores the nature of these relationships, and shows you how to build a trust that retains the nature and spirit with which it was intended.

The landmark book that changed the way exceptional families think about their heritage, their wealth, and their legacy to future generations–now revised and expanded. Every family, looking at the next generation, hopes to confer advantages that are more than just material and financial–to inculcate character and leadership, to inspire creativity and enterprise, to help all family members find and follow their individual callings, and to avoid the financial dependency and loss of initiative that can all too often be an unwanted consequence of financial success. Yet many families never succeed in realizing that vision, much less sustaining it for three, four, or five generations and beyond. James Hughes has thought deeply about these challenges, and his insights are at once practical and profound. For more than three decades, he has personally guided multiple generations of families in creating strategies to preserve their human and intellectual capital as well as their financial assets. His teachings synthesize insights from psychology, anthropology, political history, philosophy, economic theory, and the law, with examples ranging from Aristotle to cutting-edge social science theory. His ideas have been taken up by numerous exceptional families, by their advisers, and by scores of authors, practitioners, and academics who have found value in the methods he pioneered. The first edition of this book, privately published, became a word-of-mouth classic. Now, Hughes has updated and substantially expanded it with new chapters that challenge conventional notions of wealth and offer guidelines for conserving family assets in the broadest senses. Filled with tested principles and practices for family governance and joint decision making, it is a rich source of workable wisdom that family members can put into practice today, to the enduring benefit and gratitude of future generations.

From the National Book Award-winning author of the bravedeeply humaneopen-minded, critically informed, and poetic (The New York Times) The Noonday Demon, comes a game-changer of a book about the impact of extreme personal and cultural difference between parents and children.A brilliant and utterly original thinker, Andrew Solomons journey began from his experience of being the gay child of straight parents. He wondered how other families accommodate children who have a variety of differences: families of people who are deaf, who are dwarfs, who have Down syndrome, who have autism, who have schizophrenia, who have multiple severe disabilities, who are prodigies, who commit crimes, who are transgender. Bookended with Solomons experiences as a son, and then later as a father, this book explores the old adage that says the apple doesnt fall far from the tree; instead some apples fall a couple of orchards away, some on the other side of the world.      In twelve sharply observed and moving chapters, Solomon describes individuals who have been heartbreaking victims of intense prejudice, but also stories of parents who have embraced their childrens differences and tried to change the worlds understanding of their conditions. Solomons humanity, eloquence, and compassion give a voice to those people who are never heard. A riveting, powerful take on a major social issue, Far from the Tree offers far-reaching conclusions about new families, academia, and the way our culture addresses issues of illness and identity.

A major conceptual contribution to the literatures on globalisation, fashion and gender, analysing the ways in which women’s entry into the labour force over the past thirty years in the developed world has underpinned new forms of aestheticised production and consumption as well as the growth of ‘work-style’ businesses A vital contribution to the burgeoning literature on culture and creative industries which often ignores the significant roles taken by women as entrepreneurs and designers rather than mere consumers Introduces fashion scholars and economic geographers to a paradigmatic example of the new designer fashion industries emerging in a range of countries not traditionally associated with fashion Takes a fresh perspective on an industry in which Third World garment workers have been the subject of exhaustive analysis but first world women have been largely ignored

Mal ehrlich: Ein bisschen Feigling steckt doch in jeder F?hrungskraft. Oder haben Sie noch nie den Mund gehalten, obwohl Ihnen schon l?nger Dinge gegen den Strich gingen? Beim n?chsten Meeting wollten Sie endlich mal Tacheles reden, haben dann aber doch lieber geschwiegen? Das ist zwar verst?ndlich, denn die meisten von uns haben ein ausgepr?gtes Harmoniebed?rfnis. Als F?hrungskraft werden Sie damit allerdings langfristig nicht erfolgreich sein.
Unsere Unternehmenswelt ist in einem tiefgreifenden Wandel begriffen: Digitalisierung und Globalisierung erfordern Change-Prozesse und ein nachhaltiges Umdenken in den Unternehmen. Um die Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft meistern zu k?nnen, braucht es dringend F?hrungskr?fte, die mit Klarheit und Courage agieren. Die sich nicht hinter eingefahrenen Leitlinien und Prozessen verstecken, sondern den Mut besitzen, diese auch mal offen zu hinterfragen. Die durch eine gelebte Vertrauenskultur ihre Mitarbeiter bef?higen statt zu dominieren.
Nicole Path? analysiert anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen aus ihrer langj?hrigen Praxis in der F?hrungskr?fteentwicklung, warum es in den Unternehmen von Feiglingen nur so wimmelt. Und sie zeigt, worauf es ankommt, um eine Mutkultur in den Unternehmen zu etablieren.

How the world has become much better and why optimism is abundantly justified Why do so many people fear the future? Is their concern justified, or can we look forward to greater wealth and continued improvement in the way we live? Our world seems to be experiencing stagnant economic growth, climatic deterioration, dwindling natural resources, and an unsustainable level of population growth. The world is doomed, they argue, and there are just too many problems to overcome. But is this really the case? In Fewer, Richer, Greener , author Laurence B. Siegel reveals that the world has improved —and will continue to improve—in almost every dimension imaginable. This practical yet lighthearted book makes a convincing case for having gratitude for today’s world and optimism about the bountiful world of tomorrow. Life has actually improved tremendously. We live in the safest, most prosperous time in all human history. Whatever the metric—food, health, longevity, education, conflict—it is demonstrably true that right now is the best time to be alive. The recent, dramatic slowing in global population growth continues to spread prosperity from the developed to the developing world.

There are many books covering Fibonacci from an artistic and historical point of view and almost as many suggesting that Fibonacci retracements and numbers can be successfully applied to financial market time series. What is missing is a book that addresses the common errors in using screen based Fibonacci (and Gann and other tools). The book is a critical exploration of Fibonacci numbers, retracements, projections, timeframes and fanlines and their current usage within the financial markets by technical analysts. Although they can be extremely effective analytical tools when used appropriately, mistakes in usage can be extremely costly from a financial and credibility viewpoint. George MacLean takes a brief look at the history of Fibonacci and Gann, before providing a full account of their applications in financial markets, including fixed income, equity, foreign exchange, commodities and indexes. In particular, he draws attention to the overuse and misuse of easily applied computer packages available to professional and amateur traders.

El libro que aqu? presentamos al p?blico en general y al lector fil?sofo en especial es resultado de dos investigaciones financiadas con recursos internos de la Universidad Industrial de Santander, tituladas «Devenires en pol?tica, econom?a y est?tica: El problema de la filosof?a en Gilles Deleuze» y "An?lisis de la propuesta de lectura filos?fica de la literatura desarrollada por Deleuze y Guattari, a prop?sito de las obras precursoras de la novela de la dictadura en Am?rica Latina: Amalia y Tirano Banderas".Las preguntas fundamentales que sirvieron de hilo conductor de estas investigaciones giraron en torno a cuestiones relacionadas con el concepto de filosof?a en Deleuze y su relaci?n con la literatura. En este sentido, se realiz? una lectura de tres novelas de la literatura latinoamericana, con el objeto de evidenciar y exponer de forma aplicada tres elementos que constituyen la relaci?n micropol?tica de filosof?a-literatura en Deleuze y Guattari, a saber: l?neas de fuga, literatura menor y m?quina de guerra versus Estado.

Thirty-five million individual investors jumped into the stock market for the first time during the late 1990s without asking questions about the stocks they were buying. When the bubble burst and the large number of accounting scandals began to grow, most investors didn’t know where to turn or whom to trust. Now it has become more important than ever for investors to take matters into their own hands. Financial Fine Print: Uncovering a Company’s True Value lets individual investors in on the secrets that seasoned professional investors use when they evaluate a potential investment. Buried deep in a company’s quarterly (10-Q) and annual (10-K) reports are the real clues to a company’s financial health: the footnotes. At many large companies, these footnotes can run for more than 30 pages and for some corporations have doubled in the past five years, making them simply too important for investors to ignore. Financial Fine Print spells out exactly what investors need to look for within the footnotes of a company’s reports in order to make better, more informed decisions. By using numerous examples of actual footnotes that have appeared in SEC documents, the book teaches investors in easy-to-understand language ways to spot – and avoid – future Enrons and Worldcoms (and Tycos and Adelphias and HealthSouths). For any investor who has spent the past three years watching their investments shrink and has begun to think about getting back into the market, this book provides the critical tools that investors need to know to avoid getting burned once again.
