Описание: Challenges leaders to commit to evidence-based management as a way of organizational life - and shows how to turn this common sense into common practice.
Описание: What manager is not anxious about the future? We live in a white-knuckled age of rapid technological change and global instability. But uncertainty is not the enemy, says management expert Paul J. H. Schoemaker. It is where the greatest opportunities are. To unlock these opportunities, however, requires a very different approach to strategy and implementation. In this pioneering book, Dr. Schoemaker presents a systematic approach that combines concepts such as scenario planning, options thinking, and dynamic monitoring to create novel strategies for profiting from ambiguity. Building on his experience with more than one hundred consulting projects in fields ranging from health care to manufacturing, from utilities to financial services, Schoemaker shows how major corporations throughout the world have used his pathbreaking methodology to prepare for an uncertain future and profit from it. In this first comprehensive approach to the subject, Schoemaker shows the reader (1) how to develop and analyze multiple industry scenarios, (2) craft nimble strategies with just the right amount of flexibility, (3) implement them using an options approach, and (4) make real-time adjustments through dynamic monitoring. As a leading academic thinker and practitioner, the author draws on the frontiers of decision science, organization theory, strategy, and cognitive psychology to integrate the most practical contributions these various fields have made to navigating uncertainty. More than any other capability, skill in seizing initiatives in shifting, unpredictable circumstances is the key to success. Profiting from Uncertainty provides a road map to do just that. This book was first published in 2002, well ahead of the mega turmoil that befell the world in 2008 and beyond. The methods and tools described here have been used by many companies and are even more relevant today than when originally published. You can't do without them.

Four sections cover fundamentals of IP, country factors and their impact on IP, international management of IP and international strategies of IP with case studies and statistical data.
Описание: The Intangible Investor takes a hard look at the ways businesses generate return on inventions and ideas, and how they and others profit. Bruce Berman's fifth book also reveals what are behind patent "trolls" and who are the real bad actors gaming the IP system. It goes to the heart of the innovation economy, and provides businesses, investors and general audiences: (1) a basis for understanding how IP can generate hidden value(2) a foundation for what is meant by patent quality, and who, in fact, are the IP systems' bad actors, and (3) a context to discern IP developments of the recent past in the hope of providing a clearer vision of the future."One of the most remarkable things about this collection is how these essays have weathered the test of time," says Gene Quinn, editor of the popular IP Watchdog and a patent attorney in the foreword to the book. "While the 64 essays in The Intangible Investor stretch back to 2003, they are as relevant today as they were when they were written, which is a testament to Berman's forward thinking and understanding of the issues." Viewed collectively the contributions in The Intangible Investor provide entrepreneurs, investors, IP professionals, and the general public useful intelligence about how the IP industry works, and a historical context for what it means for the future. The book took eleven years to produce and includes columns originally contributed to IAM on a wide range of IP topics from patent transactions to illegal file sharing, legislation, valuations and public IP licensing companies (PIPCOs). The title is a play on unapparent stakeholders who rely on intangible assets like patents that escape the balance sheet. The Intangible Investor is also an allusion to Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor, which after 65 years is still the definitive book on value investing. This book is intended for anyone interested in business, new ideas or investing.
Among the many thousands of possible investments and hundreds of possible investment strategies, few really work, meaning few really generate good returns with relatively low risk. A dividend growth investment strategy is one of the best, if not the best, strategy for the typical investor.
Why? The math simply works. With these stocks, the math -- from the company's business to its appraisal in the stock market to the returns that the investor earns -- simply works. Everything fits, maximizing your return, keeping risk moderate. With most other stocks, the math simply does not work -- something along the line breaks, ruining your returns.
In Dividend Growth Whisperer, the author distills the very essence of dividend growth investing. The book is short, gets to the point, and can make you a virtual expert in less than a week.
Written for the intelligent investor, the book has six chapters, the first five requiring an hour or so of your time, the sixth requiring about two:
In Chapter 1, Traits of a Good (Long-Term) Business, the book establishes the key qualitative aspects you should look for in a business. Most businesses fail. There's a reason for this.
In Chapter 2, Numbers as Confirmation, you will learn about the quantitative signs of a good business. Numbers matter. Management often gilds their company's performance. Unless entombed in outright fraud, the numbers do not lie. But which numbers matter? Not all. A few do. And one is crucial.
In Chapter 3, Strong Returns, the book segues to the investor and asks, What are the constituents of an investor's return and how do these arise from both the business and the stock market? Three numbers matter here.
In Chapter 4, Searching for Stalwarts, the book shows you how to find high-quality dividend growth stocks. High-quality dividend growth stocks are a select few, numbering fewer than a 100 or so -- out of 15,000+ stocks. Blindly throwing darts will not work.
After finding your stalwarts, you must estimate what return to expect. Operating blindly in this regard can decimate your returns. For example, popular stocks do not always generate the best returns. In Chapter 5, The Right Kind of Magic, the author presents an entirely original method that will answer the final question, What return should you expect?
But of what good is talk in and of itself? In Chapter 6, Examples, the author presents a plethora of examples of very strong dividend growth stocks. Each is studied carefully and thoroughly. And each includes the long-term return that you can expect. As a bonus, this chapter also shows you how to value a dividend growth fund and the stock market itself. The stock market is certainly not a bargain these days
The book also includes a checklist that you can use to evaluate any dividend growth stock and concludes with the seven keys to make you a top-notch dividend growth investor.
(Please note: This book builds on Parts 2 and 3 of the author's earlier work, Investing in Dividend Growth Stocks. You may consider this book an update to those parts of the earlier book -- with considerably new research, additional stocks, and a brand new way to benchmark and value dividend growth stocks correctly.)
