In Efficient Organization, Mikko Ketokivi and Joseph T. Mahoney take a practical and decision-oriented approach to organization design and governance. They first identity and discuss the main organization design and governance problems that arise in creating an organization, in a growing one, and in a mature business. Then they examine contracting and relationships within organizations and with other entities in addition to special topics such as non-profits, broader stakeholder issues, and technology development. Highlighting the importance of securing cooperation across individuals and organizations for mutual value creation, this book provides tools that decision-makers can use in their own organizations.

This is a handbook on how to work smarter and achieve the same results using fewer resources. The handbook presents a number of tools for working smarter. These tools are developed by people on the floor, so manufacturing a car takes as few resources as possible. In the West, we call it Lean. The handbook is the result of teaching lean for over 15 years. All the main tools are included and presented with exercises. It is an ideal “do it yourself book”. You can use it at work, at home or for developing good ideas. The possibilities are endless. The handbook can be read from start to finish but can also be kept after reading and used as a reference for “how to do things”.

Human decisions, especially in management and personnel selection, are based on making judgments about people analytically and intuitively. Yet in business and scientific contexts, judgments are expected to be based on a rational analysis rather than intuitions or emotions. Intuition is often seen as something mystical that should not be trusted and thus eliminated from human decision-making. Our empirical and theoretical research shows that this is impossible when people are dealing with people. Instead, intuitions and emotions have significant power in the decision-making process. Neuroscience even shows that humans are incapable of switching off their emotions or intuitions when making decisions. Therefore, intuition and emotions as evolutionary achievements of human beings should be looked at more closely to use the wisdom they offer. This book provides an insight into the current state of research on rational-analytical procedures in personnel selection and complements this with research on intuitions and emotions in personnel diagnostics. By integrating scientifically verifiable rational-analytical decision-making procedures with the inner experiential knowledge of people, this book bridges two complementary ways of recognizing and making good decisions. It demonstrates how intuitions are developed and used in different fields of practice and cultures and how scientific research results from rational-analytical and intuitive-emotional selection procedures are successfully integrated by practitioners.

Today, far-reaching technological developments are making a deep impact on societies and economic environments worldwide. New digital platforms infrastructure (fintech, data analytics, mobility, mobile business apps, nanotech, robotics, new space economy, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, cryptocurrencies, the internet of things, cloud computing and blockchain) are drawing us inexorably into a new globalized digital economy based on knowledge and mobility. In this context of fast-paced change, new creative industries, still in a state of flux, have arisen, while others have disappeared, at least in their traditional form. Moreover, the intermixing of these new technologies has led to a redrawing of boundaries and an increase in their porosity thanks to the links that have developed between the new and the traditional industries. This extends the limits of entrepreneurship out towards new industries but also towards industries with high barriers to entry due to regulatory, technological or structural factors such as space, finance, aeronautics, IT hardware and health industries. For a growing number of people, these new technologies, considered as "external enablers", lead to a democratization of entrepreneurship and a lowering of the barriers to starting up a company by reducing (or eliminating) the difficulties inherent in the entrepreneurial phenomenon in its "classical" configuration, such as high resource intensity, uncertainty, limited time or information asymmetry. This new context, by offering new spaces for the creation, identification and exploitation of business opportunities, clearly extends the range of possibilities for a discipline such as entrepreneurship. In addition, digitalization has helped to break down the boundaries between the different phases of the entrepreneurial process. Few studies in the discipline, however, have examined the impact of these technological disruptions not only using the existing paradigms, but also by re-examining our very conception of the entrepreneurial phenomenon in terms of its evolving nature and shifting contours. The aim of this handbook is that can be used both by academics aiming to familiarize themselves with the state of research and theory within topics and subtopics in digital entrepreneurship, as well as practicing entrepreneurs and managers aiming to familiarize themselves with leading edge practices and insights in digital entrepreneurship.

Wer Finanzberichte von Unternehmen auswerten möchte, muss sich vorab einigen Grundsatzfragen stellen. Sind die Jahres- oder die Konzernabschlüsse die richtige Datenbasis? Liefern HGB- oder IFRS-Abschlüsse relevante und glaubwürdige Daten? Sind diese vergleichbar oder kann man sie vergleichbar machen? Welche bilanzpolitischen Ziele und Gestaltungen sind möglich und wie beeinflussen diese die Datenqualität? Erst dann kann eine fundierte Kennzahlenanalyse realisiert werden. Das Buch liefert theoretische und empirisch fundierte Grundlagen für eine umfassende Kennzahlenanalyse, die zugleich strikt anwendungsorientiert bleibt. Hierzu müssen die Rohdaten aus den Finanzberichten aufbereitet werden, um zielgerichtet aussagefähige Kennzahlen ermitteln und vergleichen zu können. Dies wird anhand der HGB-Jahresabschlüsse und der IFRS-Konzernabschlüsse über sechs Jahre für drei ausgewählte Unternehmen aus dem DAX30 vorgestellt, sodass ein Zeit- und Unternehmensvergleich möglich ist. Ergänzend werden aktuelle und komplexe Sonderthemen erläutert, die für Kennzahlenanalysen besonders relevant sind.

Amid this fast and disorienting pace of change, many are instinctively looking to political leaders and world-renowned experts for answers. As a result, important conversations that should be going on have been conspicuous by their absence. In particular, these are conversations that should involve young people. If new paradigms are emerging that will one day govern how we live, work, learn and communicate, it is the youth that needs to be in the driver's seat of shaping them. The new generation needs to ensure that these paradigms reflect its values and priorities, as well as its outlook on the world and how it perceives its own place in the world. Young people have boundless energy, but they often lack inspiration and hope. This book is about supporting young minds' probing efforts with creative vision, energy and ambition.

Use this practical guide to develop a learning strategy that encourages a culture of continuous improvement and drives business success.

Named one of the best books of 2021 by NPRNew York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice pick?Masterly . . .represents an extraordinary achievement: It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous.??Daniel Markovits, New York Times Book Review?Ron Lieber is a gift.??Scott Galloway The hugely popular New York Times Your Money columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make: what to pay for college?a decision made even more confusing because of the Covid-19 pandemic.Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple?over $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey. Lieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated. He also pulls the curtain back on merit aid, an entirely new form of discounting that most colleges now use to compete with peers.While price is essential, value is paramount. So what is worth paying extra for, and how do you know when it exists in abundance at any particular school? Is a small college better than a big one? Who actually does the teaching? Given that every college claims to have reinvented its career center, who should we actually believe? He asks the tough questions of college presidents and financial aid gatekeepers that parents don't know (or are afraid) to ask and summarizes the research about what matters and what doesn't.Finally, Lieber calmly walks families through the process of setting financial goals, explaining the system to their children and figuring out the right ways to save, borrow, and bargain for a better deal. The Price You Pay for College gives parents the clarity they need to make informed choices and helps restore the joy and wonder the college experience is supposed to represent.

Ryann Liebenthal's Burdened tells the maddening story of how the power plays of legislators and presidents, the commodification of higher education, and the rapacious practices of for-profit colleges and private lenders have created today's student-debt lava pit.

New technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), etc. are redefining business processes around the world at a rapid rate and resulting in both great opportunities and challenges for businesses.

A WELL-WRITTEN POAM IS KEY TO SUCCESS IN ANSWERING NIST 800-171 REQUIREMENTSThis is an ongoing series of supplements we are issuing regarding the changes in federal cybersecurity contracting requirements. It is designed to align with our groundbreaking cybersecurity book: Understanding Your Responsibilities in Meeting DOD NIST 800-171. Our desire is to provide complete how-to guidance and instruction to effectively and quickly address your businesses' need to secure your Information Technology (IT) environments to effectively compete in the federal contract space. This is designed to be a template, but much like "Understanding," is designed to capture critical elements of cybersecurity best practices and information that you can implement immediately. A POAM provides a disciplined and structured method to reduce, manage, mitigate, and ultimately, address an active POAM finding/vulnerability. POAM's provide findings, recommendations, and actions that will correct the deficiency or vulnerability; it is not just identifying the risk or threat but having a "plan" that reduces the danger to subjective determination, by the System Owner (business) that the control is met. A POAM is a Living-Document; you cannot just do it once and put it "on a shelf." Active Management of Security Controls is intended to protect your vital and sensitive data from loss, compromise or destruction. "Making the cryptic more comfortable(TM)."
