Описание: What makes your company great today, however, won't necessarily make it great tomorrow. Evolving is critical to long-term corporate performance and health. Humankind's greatest invention isn't the wheel, it is organization: people working together towards a goal that is beyond what can be achieved by the sum of individuals acting alone. As each generation finds better and better ways of working together, we perform at levels that previous generations could never have imagined. On top of long term trends like cost-free availability of information and deriving differentiation by creating an experience, the world appears to be emerging from the most profound and far-reaching economic crisis since the great depression of the 1930's. And five other factors will continue to drive global change: the historic shift in economic growth from the developed to the developing world; an unprecedented imperative for mature economics to raise productivity to preserve living standards; the rise of new networks of communication and trade; a profound challenge in balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability; and an expanded role for the state in regulating markets. For organizations to not only be excellent but stay excellent, companies need to respond to these challenges with tact and understanding that with the right techniques, change can be driven to a company's advantage. If you are a leader of people who wants to change things for the better, this book is for you. If you want to leave a profound and lasting legacy in your organization and the stakeholder it serves, this book will help you do so.

Building upon the international bestselling Toyota Way series of books by Jeffrey Liker, "The Toyota Way to Continuous Improvement" looks critically at lean deployments and identifies the root causes of why most of them fail. The book is organized into three major sections outlining: Why it is critical to go beyond implementing lean tools and, instead, build a culture of continuous improvement that connects operational excellence to business strategy Case studies from seven unique industries written from the perspective of the "sensei" (teacher) who led the lean transformation Lessons about transforming your own vision of an ideal organization into reality
Section One: Using the Plan-Do-Check-Adjust (PDCA) methodology, Liker and Franz contrast true PDCA thinking to that of the popular, superficial approach of copying "lean solutions." They describe the importance of developing people and show how the Toyota Way principles support and drive continuous improvement. Explaining how lean systems and processes start with a purpose that provides a true north direction for all activities, they wrap up this section by examining the glaring differences between building a system of people, processes, and problem- solving that is truly lean versus that of simply trying to "lean out" a process.
Section Two: This section brings together seven case studies as told by the "sensei" who led the transformation efforts. The companies range from traditional manufacturers, overhaul and maintenance of submarines, nuclear fuel rod production, health care providers, pathology labs, and product development. Each of these industries is different but the approaches used were remarkably similar.
Section Three: Beginning with a composite story describing a company in its early days of lean implementation, this section describes what went right and wrong during the initial implementation efforts. The authors bring to light some of the difficulties the "sensei" faces, such as bureaucracies, closed-minded mechanical thinking, and the challenges of developing lean coaches who can facilitate real change. They address the question: Which is better, slow and deep organic deployment or fast and broad mechanistic deployment? The answer may surprise you. The book ends with a discussion on how to make continuous improvement a way of life at your company and the role of leadership in any lean transformation.
"The Toyota Way to Continuous Improvement" is required reading for anyone seeking to transcend his or her tools-based approach and truly embrace a culture of continuous improvement.

Описание: Hedge funds and their managers have been vilified in recent times for their high-risk activities and relative lack of regulatory oversight. A recurrent concern shared by market participants and regulators around the world is that the increasing size of the hedge fund industry coupled with potential agency problems, activist investment practices, and herding behavior may exacerbate financial instability. However, while it is frequently suggested that hedge funds are unregulated, they are in fact regulated to some degree in every country around the world. It is important to consider differences in legal and institutional settings across countries as they directly affect the structure, governance, and performance of hedge funds. In this book, the authors consider data from a multitude of countries to understand how and why hedge fund markets differ around the world. While hedge funds are hardly regulated in the US, other jurisdictions implement different and sometimes more onerous sets of regulatory requirements, which cann include, but are not limited to, minimum capitalization requirements, restrictions on the location of key service providers, and different permissible distribution channels via private placements, banks, other regulated or non-regulated financial intermediaries, wrappers, investment managers, and fund distribution companies.
