Egonomics
by Steven Smith Dave MarcumBacked by five years of research, David Marcum and Steven Smith's egonomics informs readers that the key to great leadership is understanding exactly what ego is - and what it should not be.With the aid of real-life examples and persuasive writing, egonomics argues that while most people believe ego is negative, it is actually a healthy, necessary element to management effectiveness and business leadership. Marcum and Smith illustrate that the distinction between a good and a great leader is how humility affects their ambition, and egonomics is full of ideas that help both upper and middle management keep their egos in balance. With a compelling combination of business and psychology expertise, these two specialists explain how (a) being too competitive can make you less competitive, (b) seeking respect and recognition dilutes effectiveness and (c) humility, curiosity and veracity are the essential components to outstanding leadership. Full of the best advice from the experts in the field, egonomics is poised to be the blockbuster business bestseller of the season.
Egonomics
by David Marcum Steven SmithThe QuestionsArrogant, self-centered, stubborn,andinsecure-- words that most people associate with ego. But in this original, eye-opening work, authors David Marcum and Steven Smith argue that the upside of ego is as powerful as the downside and answer questions about ego that have been a mystery to most people. In his landmark book,Good to Great,Jim Collins showed that one of two key traits defined leaders who transformed organizations from good to great: humility. But if humility is so powerful, why don't more of us have it? Why does ego allow us to reach good results but never great ones, unless balanced by humility? Why do we need ego to personally succeed, while having it often interferes with the success we pursue?The AnswersUsing five years of exhaustive research, Marcum and Smith provide compelling evidence and matter-of-fact answers on striking the balance between ego and humility to reach the next level of leadership. The authors include case studies to illustrate how ego subtly interferes with success but also how ego sparks the drive to achieve, the nerve to try something new, and the tenacity to conquer adversity. The Early Warning SignsWe all have moments when ego costs us everything from an honest conversation to a job or promotion. Through cross-disciplinary research, egonomics reveals how to detect four early warning signs that ego is becoming a liability, including how: being too competitive makes you less competitive defending ideas turns into defending yourself winning ideas can be halted by the creator's own intelligence and talent desiring respect and recognition can interfere with successThe Keys to Egonomic HealthThree key principles keep ego healthy: humility: striking the crucial balance between too much ego and not enough curiosity: blending free thinking and discipline without bias veracity: removing fear of giving or getting feedback to produce water-cooler honestyWith a clear focus on elevating the way you do business,egonomicsis a liberating approach to becoming a rare and respected leader.

Egyptian Female Labor Force Participation and the Future of Economic Empowerment (SpringerBriefs in Political Science)
by Huda AlkitkatThis book sheds the light on the Egyptian females’ participation in labor force since 1960’s up to 2030. The main objective is to study trends of females’ participation in labor force and to predict the future participation. Egypt female participation in labor force has been increased slowly during the last fifty years since 1960’s, in spite of the encouragement polices that the government has adopted to empower women, particularly economic empowerment. Egypt's population size has rapidly increased during the past decades to about 90 million inhabitants in 2016. The working-age population (15-64) represents about 64% of the total population. Females represent about 49% of the working age population. However, they represent only about 24% of labor force in Egypt.Through its five chapters, this book will discuss the history of women's economic empowerment in Egypt, provide background on the trends of the most important female characteristics during the last decades, combines descriptive analysis with working life tables to break down the progression of the role of women in the Egyptian labor force, and presents a view of what could come in the time between now and 2030 in terms of the rights of women in this particular region.
Egyptian Made: Women, Work, and the Promise of Liberation
by Leslie T. ChangAn incisive exploration of women and work, showing how globalization&’s promise of liberation instead set the stage for repression—from the acclaimed author of Factory Girls&“Exhaustively reported and researched, Egyptian Made takes us halfway across the world and inside the intimate lives of women caught between tradition and independence.&”—Monica Potts, New York Times bestselling author of The Forgotten GirlsWhat happens to the women who choose to work in a country struggling to reconcile a traditional culture with the demands of globalization? In this sharply drawn portrait of Egyptian society—deepened by two years of immersive reporting—Leslie T. Chang follows three women as they persevere in a country that throws up obstacles to their progress at every step, from dramatic swings in economic policy to conservative marriage expectations and a failing education system.Working in Egypt&’s centuries-old textile industry, Riham is a shrewd businesswoman who nevertheless struggles to attract workers to her garment factory and to compete in the global marketplace. Rania, who works on a factory assembly line, attempts to climb to a management rank but is held back by conflicts with co-workers and the humiliation of an unhappy marriage. Her colleague Doaa, meanwhile, pursues an education and independence but sacrifices access to her own children in order to get a divorce.Alongside these stories, Chang shares her own experiences living and working in Egypt for five years, seeing through her own eyes the risks and prejudices that working women continue to face. She also weaves in the history of Egypt&’s vaunted textile industry, its colonization and independence, a century of political upheaval, and the history of Islam in Egypt, all of which shaped the country as it is today and the choices available to Riham, Rania, and Doaa. Following each woman&’s story from home and work, Chang powerfully observes the near-impossible balancing act that Egyptian women strike every day.

Egyptian Women Workers and Entrepreneurs
by Sahar NasrOver the past decade, Egyptian women have made significant progress in improving their economic and social status. The government's commitment to women's empowerment is strong at the highest political levels. Yet continued disparities remain in the country's labor market and in the business arena. 'Egyptian Women Workers and Entrepreneurs' analyzes these disparities and makes recommendations for needed change to ensure a level playing field. This groundbreaking book brings together data and extensive evidence on barriers to women's entry into business in Egypt and makes the case for actions to ensure gender equality. This book is based on a study that the Egyptian Ministry of Investment and Ministry of Manpower and Migration, and the National Council for Women requested to assist in analyzing the factors that influence women's low participation rate in economic activities, including the labor market and entrepreneurship. 'Egyptian Women Workers and Entrepreneurs' aims to fill the significant research gap on these subjects in Egypt as well as to provide suggestions to address continued gender inequalities. This book will be useful for donors, nongovernmental organizations, and researchers working to address gender barriers.
Egypt’s Strategy to Meet the Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030: Sdgs Viewed Through The Lens Of Egypt's Strategy And Researchers' Views (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Abdelazim M. Negm El-Sayed E. Omran<p>This book focuses on Egypt as a representative example of emerging economies struggling to achieve their sustainable development goals (SDGs). The Egyptian government has launched Egypt’s Vision 2030 in line with the 2030 Agenda, also known as the Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS), which encompasses the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development. It is under the SDS that all development plans in Egypt are incorporated while at the same time being strongly guided by the SDGs. Aware of the principle of shared but differentiated responsibility, Egypt also recognizes that fundamental challenges remain, despite a strong willingness to achieve the SDGs. High birth rates, brain drain phenomena, water scarcity, migration, discrimination against women and girls, a growing informal sector and instability in neighboring states (especially Libya and Syria) are only some of the many hindrances to sustainable development.<p> <p>In order to address these challenges, Egypt relies heavily on the SDGs, which are aimed at transforming our world. Although there is an urgent need for a drastic change in the way we use the Earth, the question arises as to whether the SDGs are sufficient to facilitate such a transformation. This book explores the key environmentally related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and offers a cutting-edge assessment of current progress with a view to reaching these objectives by 2030. The book highlights some of the key findings and ideas for how research may help achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in enterprises. The book provides a useful framework that can help and aid the Egyptian government to assess the many goals and targets outlined in the 2030 Agenda. The analysis of Egypt can be used as a blueprint for other developing nations and globally in order to guide policy toward achieving the SDGs. Covering food security, water resilience, climate change, agronomics, rural life, environmental impact assessment as a tool for measuring the achievement of the goals, Egyptian education, the COVID-19 pandemic, cultural and societal dimensions, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainable development and climate change, as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in sustainable development and disaster management.<p>

Eigensinnige und unorthodoxe Vordenker für eine Kritische Konsumtheorie: Beiträge aus Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften (Kritische Verbraucherforschung)
by Karl Kollmann Michael-Burkhard PiorkowskyDer Band bietet Beiträge über Grundlagen der aktuellen Konsumtheorie und Konsumforschung, die sich fast gänzlich aus ursprünglich unorthodoxen Ansätzen gegen die traditionelle mikro- und makroökonomische Theorie entwickelt haben. Die Anregungen kamen vor allem aus der Sozialökonomischen Verhaltensforschung und der Ökologischen Ökonomik. Aber die Rezeption ist sehr lückenhaft und die Historie ist weitgehend vergessen. Mit Bezug auf Arbeiten früherer Autoren werden neue Argumente in die aktuelle Diskussion um Entgrenzungen und Paradoxien im Konsum und der nach wie vor eng verstandenen Verbraucherrolle geboten. Es geht sowohl um Nachbesserungen in der Schärfung des Verständnisses von Konsum und Konsumenten in ihren Lebenswelten als auch um Hinweise auf die Fruchtbarkeit für die Analyse offener Fragen. Es geht um Argumente für eine paradigmatische Neuausrichtung der Verbraucherforschung und -politik. Die Beiträge thematisieren insbesondere Ambivalenzen, Optionen und Zukunftsmodi im Konsum bei der Suche nach individueller Zufriedenheit und ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit.
Eigentümerfamilien und Familien-Management: Einflüsse auf die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Dividendenausschüttungen (Business, Economics, and Law)
by Jakob M. TietmannFamilienunternehmen prägen als verbreitete Organisationsform Volkswirtschaften weltweit. Besonders in Deutschland entfalten familiengeprägte Unternehmen eine hohe wirtschaftliche Bedeutung. Diese bildet sich im deutschen Aktienmarkt durch einen traditionell hohen Anteil börsennotierter Familienunternehmen ab. Finanzielle Entscheidungen in diesen Familienunternehmen werden von besonderen Zielen und Entscheidungsprinzipen beeinflusst. Entscheider in Familienunternehmen und deren Umfeld benötigen daher ein fundiertes Verständnis familienbezogener Einflussfaktoren. Einen wichtigen Parameter bei Investitions- und Finanzierungsentscheidungen bilden erwartbare Dividenden. Dieses Buch widmet sich den Einflüssen von Eigentümerfamilien und Familien-Managern auf Wahrscheinlichkeiten von Dividendenausschüttungen. Die Untersuchung erfasst Einflüsse verschiedener Formen der Familienbeteiligung und Generationseffekte in Prime-Standard-Unternehmen. Ergänzend zur Entwicklung eines mehrdimensionalen Konstrukts familienbezogener Einflüsse liefert die Arbeit praktische Handlungsimplikationen für Investoren, Manager und Familienunternehmer.

Eigenvalue Problem and Nonlinear Programming Problem: For Economic Studies (New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives #70)
by Keiko NakayamaThis book focuses on the Frobenius theorem regarding a nonlinear simultaneous system. The Frobenius theorem is well known as a condition for a linear simultaneous system’s having a nonnegative solution. Generally, however, the condition of a simultaneous system, including a non-linear system’s having a nonnegative solution, is hardly discussed at all. This book, therefore, extends the conventional Frobenius theorem for nonlinear simultaneous systems for economic analysis. Almost all static optimization problems in economics involve nonlinear programing. Theoretical models in economics are described in the form of a simultaneous system resulting from the rational optimization behavior of households and enterprises. On the other hand, rational optimization behavior of households and enterprises is, mathematically speaking, expressed as nonlinear programing. For this reason it is important to understand the meaning of nonlinear programing. Because this book includes explanations of the relations among various restrictions in a nonlinear programing systematically and clearly, this book is suitable for students in graduate school programs in economics.

Eight Men Speak: A Play by Oscar Ryan et al. (Canadian Literature Collection)
by Mildred Goldberg Frank Love Edward Cecil-Smith Oscar RyanThis volume comprises a reprinting and gloss of the original text of the 1933 Communist play Eight Men Speak. The play was banned by the Toronto police after its first performance, banned by the Winnipeg police shortly thereafter and subsequently banned by the Canadian Post Office. The play can be considered as one stage–the published text–of a meta-text that culminated in 1934 at Maple Leaf Gardens when the (then illegal) Communist Party of Canada celebrated the release of its leader, Tim Buck, from prison. Eight Men Speak had been written and staged on behalf of the campaign to free Buck by the Canadian Labour Defence League, the public advocacy group of the CPC. In its theatrical techniques, incorporating avant-garde expressionist staging, mass chant, agitprop and modernist dramaturgy, Eight Men Speak exemplified the vanguardist aesthetics of the Communist left in the years before the Popular Front. It is the first instance of the collective theatrical techniques that would become widespread in subsequent decades and formative in the development of modern Canadian drama. These include a decentred narrative, collaborative authorship and a refusal of dramaturgical linearity in favour of theatricalist demonstration. As such it is one of the most significant Canadian plays of the first half of the century, and, on the evidence of the surviving photograph of the mise-en-scene, one of the earliest examples of modernist staging in Canada. - This book is published in English.
