If you buy a new BMW you may be surprised as much by the owner's manual as by the car itself. Thin, personalized, and containing information only on the features you have selected in the language you speak, it is the result of a year's collaboration with Xerox that has radically improved the product and decimated costs. It is just one example of the new organizational structures and processes being developed at leading companies to serve the global marketplace. As firms realize that dealing with global customers is not simply an extension of key account management, their most common response is to launch a formal global account management initiative. Done well this is powerful and effective; however without proper planning it can spell disaster. Drawing on widely accepted 'key success factors' for global account management as well as new elements revealed by their research, David Hennessy and Jean-Pierre Jeannet redefine the process global account management around the premise that sustainable value springs only from an expert understanding of the customer's industry, its structure and its strategy. The book covers all critical aspects of the topic (the planning process, account selection, team building, executive support, global IT requirements, compensation structures and more) and draws on interviews with top global account managers at leading companies including IBM, Cable and Wireless, Siemens, HP, Guinness, Cisco, and Procter & Gamble.

As international financial markets have become more complex, so has the regulatory system which oversees them. The Basel Committee is just one of a plethora of international bodies and groupings which now set standards for financial activity around the world, in the interests of protecting savers and investors and maintaining financial stability. These groupings, and their decisions, have a major impact on markets in developed and developing countries, and on competition between financial firms. Yet their workings are shrouded in mystery, and their legitimacy is uncertain. Here, for the first time, two men who have worked within the system describe its origins and development in clear and accessible terms. Howard Davies was the first Chairman of the UK's Financial Services Authority, the single regulator for the whole of Britain's financial sector. David Green was Head of International Policy at the FSA, after spending thirty years in the Bank of England, and has been closely associated with the development of the current European regulatory arrangements. Now with a revised and updated introduction, which catalogues the changes made since the credit crisis erupted, this guide to the international system will be invaluable for regulators, financial market practitioners and for students of the global financial system, wherever they are located. The book shows how the system has been challenged by new financial instruments and by new types of institutions such as hedge funds and private equity. Furthermore, the growth in importance of major developing countries, who were excluded for far too long from the key decision-making for a has led to a major overhaul. The guide is essential reading for all those interested in the development of financial markets and the way they are regulated. The revised version is only available in paperback.

A global look at the reasons behind the recent economic collapse, and the responses to it The speculative bubble in the housing market began to burst in the United States in 2007, and has been followed by ruptures in virtually every asset market in almost every country in the world. Each country proposed a range of policy initiatives to deal with its crisis. Policies that focused upon stabilizing the housing market formed the cornerstone of many of these proposals. This internationally focused book evaluates the genesis of the housing market bubble, the global viral contagion of the crisis, and the policy initiatives undertaken in some of the major economies of the world to counteract its disastrous affects. Unlike other books on the global crisis, this guide deals with the housing sector in addition to the financial sector of individual economies. Countries in many parts of the world were players in either the financial bubble or the housing bubble, or both, but the degree of impact, outcome, and responses varied widely. This is an appropriate time to pull together the lessons from these various experiences. Reveals the housing crisis in the United States as the core of the meltdown Describes the evolution of housing markets and policies in the run-up to the crisis, their impacts, and the responses in European and Asian countries Compares experiences and linkages across countries and points to policy implications and research lessons drawn from these experiences Filled with the insights of well-known contributors with strong contacts in practice and academia, this timely guide discusses the history and evolution of the recent crisis as local to each contributor's part of the world, and examines its distinctive and common features with that of the U.S., the trajectory of its evolution, and the similarities and differences in policy response.

Die Hom?opathie hat sich in den letzten Jahren als die beliebteste alternative Heilmethode erfolgreich neben der Schulmedizin etabliert. Eine moderne repr?sentative Umfrage ergab zudem: Jeder zweite Deutsche hat hom?opathische Mittel inzwischen schon ausprobiert und jeder Vierte ist heute ein ?berzeugter Anh?nger der Heilmethode, ihm hat die Hom?opathie geholfen. Dagegen stehen nur zwei Prozent, die von der 200 Jahre alten Heilmethode entt?uscht wurden. Kein Wunder also, dass die K?gelchen der Hom?opathen mittlerweile so hei? begehrt sind, ja die Deutschen regelrecht das Globuli-Fieber gepackt hat. Warum aber diese unglaubliche Nachfrage – mancher w?rde auch sagen, diese Manie – nach den kleinen s??en Pillen? Der Frust mit der etablierten Medizin, das Ausbleiben von Nebenwirkungen und die hohe Effektivit?t der Hom?opathie werden von den Bef?rwortern als Gr?nde aufgef?hrt. Die Skeptiker halten dagegen, in den hoch verd?nnten hom?opathischen Mitteln sei nichts mehr enthalten, das wirken k?nnte. Jegliche Wirkung sei reine Einbildung und beruhe somit auf dem so genannten Placeboeffekt. Die Kontroverse ist also im vollen Gang. Was ist sie nun, die Hom?opathie? Magische Heilkunst oder reine Einbildung? Hochwirksam, Hokuspokus oder Placebo-Medizin? Geben viele Deutsche sich haltlos dem Globuli-Wahn hin oder wissen sie instinktiv, was f?r sie richtig ist? ?ber lange Zeit fehlte jegliches Wissen dar?ber, wie man sich die Hom?opathie auf moderner wissenschaftlicher Basis erkl?ren k?nnte. Doch seit etlichen Jahren wird vermehrt geforscht. Ein paar Wissenschaftler wollen es endlich wissen: Wirken die hom?opathischen Mittel oder wirken sie nicht? Nat?rlich fehlen f?r solche Studien die finanziellen Mittel, und im Vergleich zu dem, was bei der konventionellen Medizin an Forschungsgeldern flie?t, scheint der Etat f?r die Hom?opathieforschung wie ein Tropfen auf dem hei?en Stein zu sein. Aber die Ergebnisse lassen sich sehen! Doch auch das wird wieder von den Skeptikern lautstark bezweifelt. In dem E-Book «Globulimanie» wird genau diese wissenschaftliche Basis als Auszug aus dem Standardwerk «Hom?opathie – Warum und wie sie wirkt» von Bestseller-Autor Sven Sommer vorgestellt. F?r alle Interessierten und auch Skeptiker wurden hier alle relevanten Informationen zusammengetragen und so genau wie m?glich dokumentiert. Auf diese Weise kann sich jeder Leser ein eigenes Bild dar?ber machen, ob die Hom?opathie – modernen Ma?st?ben gem?? – den Anforderungen einer wirksamen Therapieform Gen?ge tut oder nicht, und sich so eine eigene, fundierte Meinung zum kontroversen Thema Hom?opathie bilden. Wichtiger Hinweis: Das E-Book «Globulimanie» ist ein Auszug aus Sven Sommers Standardwerk «Hom?opathie – Warum und wie sie wirkt».

Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi published his groundbreaking book Flow more than a decade ago, world leaders such as Prime Minister Tony Blair and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and influential sports figures like Super Bowl champion coach Jimmy Johnson have all been inspired by the book. In today's corporate upheaval, a new business paradigm is evolving. While many CEOs are being exposed for their greed, truly visionary leaders believe in a goal that benefits themselves as well as others. They realize that it is their vision and &quote;soul&quote; that attract loyal employees willing to go above and beyond the call of corporate duty. And their employees are realizing the same thing. While 80 percent of adults claim they'd work even if they didn't have to, the majority of them can hardly wait to leave their jobs and get home.  Good Business starts with the premise that this is an age in which business and work have replaced religion and politics as central forces in contemporary life. This audiobook reveals how business leaders, managers, and employees can find their &quote;flow&quote; and contribute not only to their own happiness, but also to a just and evolving society. It identifies the factors crucial to the operation of a good business: trust, the commitment to fostering the personal growth of employees, and the dedication to creating a product that helps mankind. Good Business is a must-listen for anyone who values the positive contributions of individuals in the changing world of business.

In Goodbye Gordon Gekko: How to Find Your Fortune and Not Lose Your Soul, Anthony Scaramucci describes how a better understanding of people, capital, and culture can be used to enrich one’s life, financially as well as spiritually. With smart and engaging prose, the book: • Discusses how the best manifestations of ambition, entrepreneurship and mentoring can lead to a life that not only fulfills financial obligations, but also leaves a lasting legacy • Describes ways in which Americans and American companies can act to avoid the kind of crisis that crippled the country’s economy • Details how to build a core set of values to discover wealth on one’s own terms Given the turmoil in financial markets over the past few years, many people are reevaluating what it means to be “rich.” Goodbye Gordon Gekko shows how it’s possible to be well-off without all the trappings of wealth.

Not a sausage. That is what Gordon Ramsay had when he started out as a chef, working 16-hour days, 6 days a week. When he was struggling to get his first restaurant in the black, he didn't think he'd be famous for a TV show about how to run profitable eateries, or that he'd be head of a business empire. But he is and he did. Here's how."In the beginning there was nothing.Not a sausage – penniless, broke, fucking nothing – and although, at a certain age, that didn’t matter hugely, there came a time when hand-me-downs, cast-offs and football boots of odd sizes all pointed to a problem that seemed to have afflicted me, my mum, my sisters, Ronnie and the whole lot of us. It was as though we had been dealt the ‘all-time dysfunctional’ poker hand.I wish I could say that, from this point on, the penny dropped and I decided to do something about it, but it wasn’t like that. It would take years before the lessons of life, business and money began to click into place – before, as they say, I had a pot to piss in.This is the story of how those lessons were learned."This is Gordon Ramsay at his raw, rugged best. PLAYING WITH FIRE is the amazing story of Gordon’s journey from sous-chef to superstar. In his no-holds-barred style, Gordon shares his passion for risk and adventure and his hard-won success secrets.

1. Aufl., Eine neue ?bersetzung der platonischen Dialoge muss f?r den heutigen Leser ohne die Zuhilfenahme des griechischen Textes oder eines Kommentars verst?ndlich sein. Zugleich sollte sie die Eleganz der platonischen Gespr?che vermitteln. All das bieten die nun als eBooks erscheinenden ?bersetzungen, die auf der renommierten Platon-Werkausgabe der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur zu Mainz basieren.
Gorgias ist – nach Umfang und Gehalt – einer der gro?en Dialoge Platons. In den Gespr?chen des Sokrates kommen die entscheidenden Themen zur Sprache, die Platon f?r den Rest seines Lebens besch?ftigten: das Verh?ltnis von Rhetorik, Macht, Gerechtigkeit und Gl?ck, die Beziehung zwischen der Lust und dem Guten und die Frage nach der richtigen Lebensf?hrung.

Dr. Manfred Engeli beschreibt hier erstmals den Ansatz, der sich in seiner langj?hrigen T?tigkeit als christlicher Psychotherapeut herausgebildet hat: In der «Finalen Seelsorge» richtet sich der Blick des Seelsorgers nicht so sehr auf die Ursachen der Misere, sondern auf Gottes L?sungen. So geht es im seelsorgerlich-therapeutischen Gespr?ch darum, miteinander zu entdecken, welche einmalige L?sung Gott bereit h?lt, und zu helfen, Gottes Angebot anzunehmen. Die Finale Seelsorge ist eine vorw?rtsgerichtete statt vergangenheitsbezogene Sicht- und Arbeitsweise; sie umschreibt ein l?sungs- statt problemorientiertes Vorgehen. Dass Dr. Engeli nicht nur kompetent Wissen weitergibt, sondern auch schreibt, was er selbst erlebt und lebt, verleiht diesem Buch Autorit?t und Authentizit?t.
