In our world, where information and communication technologies are reshaping and continuing to shape every field, it is clear that enterprises that can follow the flow of information, grind the information they collect in information mills, and provide intelligence by using their internal and external information, can adapt to changing conditions in a timely and effective manner in proportion to its power.

Tools, also Werkzeuge, Methoden und Techniken, sind wesentliche Bausteine professioneller Beratungsleistungen. Sie haben gerade in den letzten Jahrzehnten Hochkonjunktur. Aufgrund dieser "inflationären" Entwicklung ist auch von "Managementmoden" die Rede. Trotzdem, ein Großteil der Werkzeuge sind bedeutsam und unverzichtbar. Die 80 wichtigsten Beratungstools, die zugleich auch immer Managementtools darstellen, sind in diesem Buch zusammengestellt. Eines der Hauptanliegen ist es, die Vielzahl der Tools nicht nur inhaltlich zu erläutern, sondern sie entlang den einzelnen Phasen des Beratungsprozesses zu ordnen und gleichzeitig die entsprechende Einsatzumgebung vorzustellen. Die Reihe der vorgestellten Tools reicht von der BCG-Matrix über die Marketing-Gleichung bis hin zu den agilen Tools wie Scrum, Kanban und Design Thinking. Die Phasen des Beratungsprozesses sind: Akquisitionsphase, Analysephase, Problemlösungsphase und Implementierungsphase. Für die Erstellung dieser extrem vielfältigen Leistungen und den damit verbundenen Problemlösungen stehen dem Berater eben diese Methoden, Konzepte und auch Produkte zur Verfügung.

Dieses Buch beschreibt, wie Non-Profit-Organisationen (NPOs) kommunizieren, was sie ausmacht, Erfolg signalisieren und Nachhaltigkeit zeigen, um Stakeholder davon zu überzeugen, wichtige Ressourcen bereitzustellen. Einen lohnenswerten Ansatz bieten Berichte zum intellektuellen Kapital. Auf der Grundlage empirischer Untersuchungen zeigt das Buch auf, welche Ressourcen für NPOs unverzichtbar sind, welche Anforderungen an Organisationen gestellt werden und welche Abhängigkeiten zwischen diesen Ressourcen und Anforderungen bestehen. Diese Erkenntnisse helfen gemeinnützigen Organisationen, die notwendigen Informationen bereitzustellen und dabei die Offenlegung auf ein Minimum zu beschränken, um mögliche Wettbewerbsvorteile nicht zu verschenken. Des Weiteren wird der Status quo der Offenlegung von IK in Deutschland dargestellt und ein theoretischer Rahmen für die Motivation von NPOs, Informationen über ihre IK offenzulegen, vorgestellt. Diese Ergebnisse bilden eine solide Grundlage für weitere Forschungen. Schließlich wird ein Rahmen für die Offenlegung von intellektuellem Kapital zur Unterstützung von Praktikern bereitgestellt.

These essays share the wisdom of Thomas K. Hearn Jr., former President of Wake Forest University, and past chairman and board member of the Center for Creative Leadership.

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is as good a data storyteller as I have ever met. -- Steven Levitt, co-author, FreakonomicsBig decisions are hard. We consult friends and family, make sense of confusing expert advice online, maybe we read a self-help book to guide us. In the end, we usually just do what feels right, pursuing high stakes self-improvement--such as who we marry, how to date, where to live, what makes us happy--based solely on what our gut instinct tells us. But what if our gut is wrong? Biased, unpredictable, and misinformed, our gut, it turns out, is not all that reliable. And data can prove this.In Don't Trust Your Gut, economist, former Google data scientist, and New York Times bestselling author Seth Stephens-Davidowitz reveals just how wrong we really are when it comes to improving our own lives. In the past decade, scholars have mined enormous datasets to find remarkable new approaches to life's biggest self-help puzzles. Data from hundreds of thousands of dating profiles have revealed surprising successful strategies to get a date; data from hundreds of millions of tax records have uncovered the best places to raise children; data from millions of career trajectories have found previously unknown reasons why some rise to the top.Telling fascinating, unexpected stories with these numbers and the latest big data research, Stephens-Davidowitz exposes that, while we often think we know how to better ourselves, the numbers disagree. Hard facts and figures consistently contradict our instincts and demonstrate self-help that actually works--whether it involves the best time in life to start a business or how happy it actually makes us to skip a friend's birthday party for a night of Netflix on the couch. From the boring careers that produce the most wealth, to the old-school, data-backed relationship advice so well-worn it's become a literal joke, he unearths the startling conclusions that the right data can teach us about who we are and what will make our lives better.Lively, engrossing, and provocative, the end result opens up a new world of self-improvement made possible with massive troves of data. Packed with fresh, entertaining insights, Don't Trust Your Gut redefines how to tackle our most consequential choices, one that hacks the market inefficiencies of life and leads us to make smarter decisions about how to improve our lives. Because in the end, the numbers don't lie.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Die entscheidungsorientierte Bewertung von Handlungsoptionen ist eine zentrale Aufgabe der Unternehmensplanung. Das vorliegende Lehrbuch widmet sich nach einem grundlegenden Einblick in die Bewertungstheorie der integrierten Ermittlung und Erklärung bewertungssubjektspezifischer Grenzpreise für unterschiedlichste Bewertungsobjekte unter Verwendung produktions- und finanzwirtschaftlich fundierter Bewertungsmodelle und -kalküle. Als Bewertungsobjekte stehen einzelne Ressourcen und ganze Unternehmen als Ressourcenbündel im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Neben dem Kauf und dem Verkauf von Zahlungsströmen, Produktionsfaktoren, Unternehmensteilen und ganzen Unternehmen werden auch die Aufnahme und die Anlage finanzieller Mittel, die Annahme von Zusatzaufträgen und die Verschmelzung von Unternehmen als Bewertungsanlässe behandelt. Dabei treten etliche strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten sowohl zwischen einer rein finanz- und einer rein realgüterwirtschaftlichen Bewertung als auch zwischen der Bewertung einer Fusion, einer Akquisition und einer Segregation zutage. Überlegungen zur unternehmensübergreifenden Bewertung von Handlungsoptionen in Wertschöpfungspartnerschaften runden die Betrachtungen ab.

Valuation is part art and part science. While there are wrong ways to value a stock, there may be no single correct way to value a stock. Applied Valuation: A Pragmatic Approach helps to bridge theory and how valuations can be implemented in practice. It offers pragmatic solutions that are in line with valuation principles, and explains the implications of certain approaches and rules of thumb that are commonly used in practice, so the reader understands why or when such methods make sense. Valuation is a highly case-specific exercise and slight changes in the conditions at the time of the valuation could change the approach and inputs that an analyst should be using. This book discusses how to develop the intuition and skills that would allow you to determine the appropriate or reasonable approach to take regardless of what situation may arise in the future. Also including in-depth case studies of Walmart and Tesla, this book examines concepts like projections, discount rates, terminal value, and relative valuation to equip students, practitioners, and the general reader with a better understanding of the methods that will help them build their own framework to value businesses and analyze valuation issues.

Globally, the prevalence of disability is growing, as is disability awareness. The disability rights movement argues that the right to employment is essential for full participation and human dignity. While there have been improvements related to broad diversity programs and policies, those for persons with disabilities, especially less visible or invisible disabilities, have received less attention. Contextual factors such as the legal environment and protections, cultural and social values, religious norms, and broader economic conditions shape the employment prospects for persons with disabilities. The De Gruyter Handbook of Disability and Management uses an interdisciplinary lens to study disability and management, integrating perspectives from disability studies, psychology, education, and legal domains. It aims to incorporate a contextually sensitive and global perspective to emphasize actionable areas of inclusion and provides a more international focus by including contributions from across the world including contries and regions that have till date received less attention in the area of disability studies. Managers, human resource professionals, and policy makers can be more proactive to support persons with disabilities, and more insights, best practices, and tools are needed to facilitate this support. This handbook will guide and support efforts of organizational stakeholders and policy makers as they strive to be more inclusive.

In today¿s era of increased regulation and renewed enforcement efforts, unethical behavior and misconduct are a focus of concern among not only governments and regulators, but also investors, firms, employees, customers, and the public. Accordingly, compliance programs have gained prominence in the organizational agenda. A properly designed and implemented compliance program provides crucial assurance for all stakeholders that an organization¿s personnel abide by all applicable regulations, internal ethical principles, codes of conduct, and other guidelines. Based on empirical experience and illustrative cases, The Promises and Perils of Compliance seeks to discuss compliance not as just another management tool, but rather as a collection of rules, norms and controls embedded into an organization¿s culture and environment that must be understood when designing a compliance program. The authors propose that organizations must be transparent at all stages of the design and implementation of the compliance program and be prepared to interpret, adapt, change, and redefine the program in action. It is also important for organizations to set a realistic agenda for the program so that gains can be seen and celebrated by all stakeholders. This book offers a pathway to understanding the organizational dynamics any compliance effort needs to consider. It will benefit business students as well as managers, compliance officers, and CEOs and executives at every level.

Cloud computing is at the vanguard of the Metaverse-driven digital transformation. As a result, the cloud is ubiquitous; emerging as a mandate for organizations spanning size, sectors, and geographies. Cloud Governance: Basics and Practice brings to life the diverse range of opportunities and risks associated with governing the adoption and enterprise-wide use of the cloud. Corporate governance is uniquely disrupted by the cloud; exacerbating existing risks, and creating new and unexpected operational, cybersecurity, and regulatory risks. The cloud further extends the enterprise's reliance on cloud service providers (CSPs), fueling an urgent need for agile and resilient business and IT strategies, governance, enterprise risk management (ERM), and new skills. This book discusses how the cloud is uniquely stressing corporate governance. Cloud Governance is a user-friendly practical reference guide with chapter-based self-assessment questions. The chapters in this book are interconnected and centered in a cloud governance ecosystem. This book will guide teachers, students and professionals as well as operational and risk managers, auditors, consultants and boards of directors. Events around the bookLink to a De Gruyter online event where authors Steven Mezzio & Meredith Stein discuss the interplay of cloud computing and corporate governance functions with Jacqueline de Rojas, president of techUK and chair of the board of Digital Leaders.

"This book proposes a radical but rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program that combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice. Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for an education that provides an understanding of the fundamentals of business but also deeply aligns with their progressive values. The Next Economy MBA fills that gap. Based on a course field-tested with over 250 students, it covers traditional MBA topics like such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding, etc. from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution. And they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too timid and incremental to make a lasting impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It touches on topics like such as Indigenous values, self-managing organizations, comprehensive strategies to reverse climate change, non-violent communication, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more. This book answers the question, "What would an essential business education look like if we wanted to completely redesign the economy for the benefit of all life?""--

Examines the culture and conduct of six small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in England and West Germany from 1945 to the late-1970s, drawing on numerous archives in Germany and Britain.This is the first book length study that examines the detailed histories of SMEs in a comparative, transnational manner. Emerging from this study is an evaluation of German and British varieties of capitalism in action, showing that they were not fixed or static, but rather have changed considerably as they evolved over time.The German companies studied formed part of the Mittelstand, the family-owned sector which is unique to German-speaking countries. This book explores whether the principles of a close identification with the surrounding region and a patriarchal culture within a 'family' atmosphere were adopted in practice then, and whether they are still applicable today.Paulson compares the Mittelstand to British SMEs in order to understand how their approach differed from that of their German counterparts. For both countries, the 'ecosystem' which surrounded businesses is examined, paying particular attention to funding and vocational education. The book concludes that the potential for a British Mittelstand existed, but that British companies were often less well managed and had to operate within a less supportive external environment than that which favoured the Mittelstand.Historical lessons learned from the management of these companies still resonate today, and can help us to understand contemporary differences in business performance. This book will therefore be of interest to scholars and students of twentieth-century business and economic history, as well as management studies.
