Employment, Trade Unionism, and Class: The Labour Market in Southern Europe since the Crisis (Routledge Research in Employment Relations)
by Gregoris IoannouThe economic crisis has brought about a watershed in institutional, political, and social relations, reshaping the labour market and the class structure in southern Europe. This book provides a critical comparative assessment of the dynamics of change in the employment field, focusing on Spain, Greece, and Cyprus. The book assesses how the liberalization and deregulation processes and the promotion of market-enhancing reforms progressed in three different national settings, identifying the forces, agents, contexts, and mechanisms shaping the employment and industrial relations systems. The comparative perspective used deciphers the interplay of external and internal dynamics in the restructuring of the labour field in Southern Europe, examining austerity and its contestation in connection with prevailing societal ideologies and class shifts. The first part of the book sets the theoretical and historical context, the second is comprised of three empirical national case studies, and the third discusses comparatively the handling of the crisis, its impact, and its legacy from the standpoint of a decade later. The book presents differences in industrial relations systems, trade union forms, and class composition dynamics, accounting for the development of the crisis and the reshaping of the employment field after one decade of crisis. It will be of value to researchers, academics, professionals, and students working on issues of employment and industrial relations, labour market and labour law, political economy and class structure, as well as those interested in the contemporary society and economy of southern Europe in general, and Spain, Greece, and Cyprus in particular.
Employment, Wages and Income Distribution: Critical essays in Economics
by Kurt W RothschildWhilst there is widespread agreement about the goals of economic policy, consensus about how best to achieve them can be harder to achieve. No issues are more contentious than employment and income distribution. In recent years full employment and a just distribution of incomes have been downgraded as policy objectives, as greater priority has been given to price stability and balance of payments objectives. This emphasis has been supported by a mainstream economic theory which has an unswerving belief in the ability of market forces to achieve a satisfactory regulation of employment and income distribution Other economists have remained more sceptical, and none more so than Kurt Rothschild. This new volume collects together his twenty two most important essays in the area, many of which are appearing in English for the first time. Throughout pure theory is linked to relevant practical investigations.

Employment: A Key Idea for Business and Society (Key Ideas in Business and Management)
by Jamie WoodcockEmployment: A Key Idea for Business and Society introduces a topic that many of us take for granted yet is central to how we understand business and management. Most people work for the majority of their lives and, in recent years, employment has become a topic of popular debate, particularly asking what the future of work could be.

This book provides new ways to think about our own experiences of work and debates on employment. The book covers the history of employment, key changes to work, and a global perspective. The major debates in employment are introduced, providing theories for readers to develop their own perspectives. In particular, the book reappraises management theory, the role of workers’ agency in changing work, surveys the state of current research and methods, and sketches out the key changes on the horizon for employment. This book will provide students with a critical introduction to employment, equipping them with the resources to research, understand, and rethink the topic.
Emporium Department Store
by Anne EversThe Emporium--"California's Largest, America's Grandest Store"--was a major shopping destination on San Francisco's Market Street for a century, from 1896 to 1996. Shoppers flocked to the mid-price store with its beautiful dome and bandstand. Patrons could find anything at the Emporium, from jewelry to stoves, and it was a meeting place for friends to enjoy tea while listening to the Emporium Orchestra. Founded as the Emporium and Golden Rule Bazaar, the store flourished until the disastrous 1906 earthquake. Once it reopened in 1908, it dominated shopping downtown until mid-century. Many San Franciscans remember with great nostalgia the Christmas Carnival on the roof, complete with slides, a skating rink, and a train. Santa always arrived in grand style with a big parade down Market Street. After World War II, the Emporium, which had merged with H.C. Capwell & Co. in the late 1920s, began its push and opened branch stores throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. However, as competition increased, the company's financial situation worsened, and the Emporium name was no more in 1996.

Empower the People: Overthrow The Conspiracy That Is Stealing Your Money And Freedom
by Tony BrownIn the follow-up to his very successful Black Lies, White Lies, controversial talk-show host and radio commentator Tony Brown presents a practical plan to reclaim our resources and institutions from a selfish and exclusive power elite.At the start of the twentieth century, argues Tony Brown, the world's economy was hijacked. In capitalist and communist countries alike, elitist groups took control of international trade and national banks, with dire results for the ordinary citizen. Ever since, capital has moved toward a single inner circle -- the Ruling Class Conspiracy -- who monopolize the world's markets and even its governments for personal profit. Their stratagems range from the "war" against drugs to deliberately induced racial conflict among ethnic groups in America -- none in earnest, all carefully designed to preserve a pernicious status quo.But Tony Brown has a remedy. His provocative and empowering seven-step plan offers an opportunity to break free once and for all from the constricting control of the wealthy and powerful who have run the world for far too long -- including a point-by-point program for radical reform of the income tax and a proposal to muzzle the Federal Reserve Bank, which exerts unconscionable influence over the lives of every American.Incendiary and persuasive, this book reaches beyond race to claim the high ground of historical, logical, and moral analysis. For nearly half a century of Cold War, America and the Free World were defined by opposition to Communism...but was this merely a red herring to ensure the domination of the haves over the have-nots? Read Empower the People, form your own conclusions...and hit the brakes!
Empowered
by Josh Bernoff Ted SchadlerIt's the new normal. Now all of your employees are Twittering away and friending clients on Facebook. Not to mention customers--who feel obligated to update your Wikipedia entry with product complaints.In this new world, dealing with empowered employees and customers --Insurgents -- is only going to get more challenging. Employees are using this technology in the workplace and customers are using it in the marketplace, and neither obey the rules you set up.This chaos is your future as a manager. You could try to shut it down and shut it off. Or you can harness it and reap the business benefits.According to Josh Bernoff and Ted Schadler of Forrester Research (the organization that brought you Groundswell), your defense against insurgents is to enable them. At its heart, this is a book about how to scale the management of insurgency, both the innovation of insurgent employees and the energy of insurgent customers. The key is a process Forrester calls E Triple S, for the four elements of managing insurgents effectively: empowering, selecting, scaling, and socializing.While it's based in current trends, the core concept of Managing Insurgents -- that the next management and innovation challenge is harnessing individuals empowered by mobile, social, and connected technology -- is a new idea. In the wake of Groundswell, dozens of social-technology-for-business books cropped up. And there are plenty of books on improving your customer service. But there's no serious business book about management, marketing, and innovation in the throes of this trend. When Insurgency hits, it will be perceived not just as a sequel to Groundswell but as the start of a new management philosophy.

Highly readable and informative without getting bogged down in details which could be accessed by interested readers elsewhere. The theoretical build-up expertly leads to the very relevant case study of one of the earliest practitioners of ERM: Statoil/Equinor. Readers should pay particular attention to the honest exposé of the history of ERM in the company from its pre-IPO in the late 1990s to the present. I strongly recommend the book to practitioners, students and academics." —Dr. Erol Hakanoglu, former Global Head of Enterprise Risk Management, Barclays; former Global Head of Capital Markets Strategies, Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Empowered: Wie Unternehmen jeden Mitarbeiter zu aussergewöhnlichen Ergebnissen motivieren
by Chris Jones Marty CaganWas ist das Besondere an den Top-Tech-Unternehmen, wie Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix und Tesla, das ihre konstante Innovationsleistung ermöglicht? Die meisten Leute denken, dass es daran liegt, dass diese Unternehmen auf eine besondere Art Talente finden und anziehen, die herausragend innovativ sind. Aber der wahre Vorteil dieser Unternehmen liegt nicht so sehr darin, wen sie einstellen, sondern vielmehr darin, wie sie es ihren Mitarbeitern ermöglichen, zusammenzuarbeiten, um schwierige Probleme zu lösen und außergewöhnliche Produkte zu schaffen. Das Ziel des Buches von Marty Cagan und Chris Jones ist es, Ihnen als Leiter des Produktmanagements, des Produktdesigns oder der Entwicklung alles zur Verfügung zu stellen, was Sie brauchen, um genau solch eine Umgebung zu schaffen. Als Partner der Silicon Valley Product Group arbeiten Marty Cagan und Chris Jones seit Langem daran, die besten Praktiken der beständigsten innovativen Unternehmen der Welt zu enthüllen.

Empowering Customers with Mobile Applications: How To Boost Your Company's Image Using Social Technologies
by Josh Bernoff Ted SchadlerIncreasingly, your customers are turning to their mobile devices to find information about your company's products and services-and they expect you to be there to help them. You have a choice to make: You can align yourself with these customers, empowering them with mobile offers, mobile information, and mobile customer service, or you can let them find whatever happens to come their way via the Internet. Mobile web users-the "mass mavens" who spend their time in content channels-have even more influence than your other connected customers. If you empower these people with information, they'll blog or tweet about how great your company is. If you don't, they'll broadcast the fact that you don't have a clue. In this chapter, authors Josh Bernoff-coauthor of "Groundswell"-and Ted Schadler explain how you can harness the marketing power of your customers. Through real-life examples from E*TRADE, the Philadelphia Eagles, and UPS, you'll learn what the authors call the POST method for building mobile applications: People, Objectives, Strategy, and Technology-and how you can satisfy your customers' need for information and reach out to them through social media. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 5 of Empowered: Unleash Your Employees, Energize Your Customers, and Transform Your Business

Empowering Exporters: Reciprocity, Delegation, and Collective Action in American Trade Policy
by Michael J. GilliganUntil the New Deal, most groups seeking protection from imports were successful in obtaining relief from Congress. In general the cost of paying the tariffs for consumers was less than the cost of mounting collective action to stop the tariffs. In 1934, with the passage of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, all of this changed. The six decades that followed have produced a remarkable liberalization of trade policy in the United States. This occurred despite the fact that domestic politics, according to some of the best developed theories, should have prevented this liberalization. Michael Gilligan argues that liberalization has succeeded because it has been reciprocal with liberalization in other countries. Our trade barriers have been reduced as an explicit quid pro quo for reduction of trade barriers in other countries. Reciprocity, Gilligan argues, gives exporters the incentive to support free trade policies because it gives them a clear gain from free trade and thus enables the exporters to overcome collective action problems. The lobbying by exporters, balancing the interests of groups seeking protection, changes the preferences of political leaders in favor of more liberalization. Gilligan tests his theory in a detailed exploration of the history of American trade policy and in a quantitative analysis showing increases in the demand for liberalization as the result of reciprocity in trade legislation from 1890 to the present. This book should appeal to political scientists, economists, and those who want to understand the political underpinnings of American trade policy. Michael J. Gilligan is Assistant Professor of Politics, New York University.
