Investieren Leicht Gemacht: Warren Buffet Strategien zum Vermögensaufbau und zur Schaffung von passivem Einkommen
by Adidas WilsonJeder wünscht sich finanzielle Freiheit. Viele versuchen, sie zu erreichen, indem sie das tun, was sie leidenschaftlich gerne tun. Es gibt Menschen, die sie gefunden haben, indem sie in dem Unternehmen, in dem sie arbeiten, die Karriereleiter hinaufkletterten, während andere ein Unternehmen gegründet haben. In den letzten fünf Jahren gab es mehr Millionäre als in jedem anderen Zeitraum. Online-Ressourcen und das Internet im Allgemeinen sind für einen großen Teil dieses Erfolgs verantwortlich. Die meisten dieser Menschen waren so nett, über ihren Erfolg zu schreiben und einige Ratschläge und Einblicke in den Erfolg zu geben und was man tun muss, um ihn zu erreichen. Eine Sache, die in den meisten Büchern erwähnt wird, sind die "Geheimnisse der finanziellen Freiheit". Was sind diese Geheimnisse? Ganz gleich, wie viel Geld Sie verdienen, wenn Sie keine Ahnung haben, wie Sie damit umgehen sollen, werden Sie niemals finanzielle Freiheit erreichen - Sie werden nicht einmal in die Nähe kommen. Sie müssen lernen, wie Sie Ihr Geld verwalten und eine Kultur des Sparens pflegen. Ihr Geld sollte für Sie arbeiten. Wenn Sie unkontrollierbare Ausgabegewohnheiten haben, wird es Ihnen am Ende noch schlechter gehen als Menschen, die viel weniger verdienen als Sie. Der erste Schritt zur finanziellen Freiheit ist Sparen. Analysieren Sie Ihre Ausgabengewohnheiten. Kontrollieren Sie Ihre Ausgabengewohnheiten und beginnen Sie mit der Haushaltsplanung und dem Sparen. Als Nächstes sollten Sie lernen, wie Sie Ihre Ersparnisse anlegen. Dies ist eine der wichtigsten Entscheidungen in Ihrem Leben. Nehmen Sie sich Zeit und erforschen Sie die Wachstumsmärkte. Wenn Sie das, was Sie tun, lieben, werden Sie der finanziellen Freiheit, nach der Sie sich sehnen, näher kommen. Sie können viel Geld verdienen, aber ein unglückliches Leben führen, weil Ihnen Ihre Arbeit keinen Spaß macht. Wenn Sie Ihrer Leidenschaft folgen, werden sich alle anderen Dinge von selbst ergeben.

Investigating Being in Organizations and Leadership: A Phenomenological Alternative
by Kim Malmbak Møller Michael FastThis book discusses the ontological foundation for organizational analysis and organizational life from a phenomenological perspective. The objective of this book is to provide the reader with an understanding of organizations that adequately takes into account the current philosophical knowledge regarding human nature. A key result of this analysis is that organizations are existentially founded human experiences of emotions, ethics, culture and narrative. This understanding of organizations is furthermore complicated by the existence of concepts of power, relationship, interaction and identity, which all can be perceived as contradicting notions of objectivity, professionalism and rationalism. The question is not whether this is an easy description to navigate nor apply, but rather where we go from here. This book would be of interest to students and scholars working on the philosophy of business, and academics in critical organization studies and alternative philosophy of organization. The book would also be of interest to people in all organization trying to understand everyday of dilemmas and contradictions.
Investigating Corporate Fraud
by Michael J. ComerIn 1998 Gower published the highly successful third edition of Corporate Fraud by Michael Comer. Sadly, the need for such books has not disappeared - if anything it has increased - with cases such as Enron, WorldCom and the Allied Irish Bank and so this volume concentrates on the practicalities of investigating and recovering from fraud. Fraud can be prevented by secure processes and by ensuring that people allowed access to them are honest. This is easier said than done; failures will occur and every company needs contingency plans as a safety net. Contrary to popular belief, corporate fraud happens to good companies and effective managers. What is crucial is your reaction when suspicions are first aroused - fraud changes from a problem to a disaster mainly because people's initial response is ineffective. This book is a comprehensive action plan for organizations that are victims of corporate fraud. The aim is to help make sure that you can react swiftly and effectively, recover your money, your costs with interest and punish the offenders so that a deterrent is established for others. Most importantly the book will help you return to normal working as quickly as possible. It is highly practical, featuring checklists and case examples throughout. Applying his extraordinary experience, keen insight and vast practical knowledge, Mike Comer is able to take a unique position in showing organizations what they can do and what their rights are. His writing style is entertaining and enlightening - this is no dry, laborious and incomprehensible legal reference. You will find Investigating Corporate Fraud a fascinating and invaluable source of practical expert guidance on a subject strewn with potential dangers.
Investigating Cultural Aspects in Indian Organizations
by Vijay Pereira Ashish MalikThe purpose of this edited collection is to analyse the cultural aspects of Indian organizations. As the world's largest and most diverse democracy, Indian society can be best described as an amalgam of multiple cultures, value systems, socio-political and institutional orientations. This book offers a theoretical and empirical basis for understanding the evolving and changing nature of these aspects in Indian organizations. The World Bank predicts that in the near future India will become the world's second largest economy. The recent high growth rates reported by businesses in the Indian economy needs to be sustainable, especially amidst its high cultural diversity. Whilst there is tremendous interest in understanding the intricacies of Indian culture and a growing literature focusing on topics such as India-specific management and internationalization strategies of Indian firms, the cultural aspects of Indian businesses have been largely ignored. This book aims to fill this gap. It covers various topics in organizational culture and management such as human resource management, cross-cultural communication and coaching, cultural similarity, cultural literacy, multiculturalism, generational cultural values, talent acquisition and knowledge management. It also features case studies from high growth sectors such as the IT and health industries. Presenting contributions from local Indian and international researchers, this book provides a multidimensional perspective that will appeal to students, scholars and practitioners interested in organizational culture and management in India.

Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising
by Tom ReichertThe latest scholarship on one of today&’s most pressing issues Today, it is obvious that sexual content is a prevalent aspect of the media and that the intensity of this content has increased in recent years. Less obvious, however, are the direct effects the strategic use of sexual content has on audiences.

Investigation and Prevention of Financial Crime: Knowledge Management, Intelligence Strategy and Executive Leadership
by Petter GottschalkSo long as there are weaknesses that can be exploited for gain, companies, other organizations and private individuals will be taken advantage of. This theoretically-based but hugely practical book focuses on what is generally seen as financial or economic crime: theft, fraud, manipulation, and corruption. Petter Gottschalk considers how, in some competitive environments, goals can 'legitimise' all kinds of means, and how culture can exert a role in relation to what is seen as acceptable or unacceptable behaviour by individuals. In Investigation and Prevention of Financial Crime he addresses important topics including organized crime, money laundering, cyber crime, corruption in law enforcement agencies, and whistleblowing, and provides expert advice about strategies for the use of intelligence to combat financial crime. The uniqueness of his approach to the subject lies in the way he is able to explain intelligence and intelligence processes in the wider context of knowledge and knowledge management. The numerous case studies throughout the book illustrate the 'policing' of financial crime from an intelligence, knowledge management and systems perspective. Law enforcers, lawyers, security personnel, consultants and investigators, as well as those in auditing and accountancy and with responsibilities for containing risk in banks, other financial institutions and in businesses generally, will find this an invaluable source of practical guidance. The book will also be of interest to advanced students and researchers in criminology and police science.

Investigative Interviewing: Adopting a Forensic Mindset
by John E. Grimes IIIInvestigative Interviewing: Adopting a Forensic Mindset aims to promote legal and ethical investigative interview methods. Accordingly, possessing a forensic mindset should be the foundation that governs every aspect of an investigative interviewer's actions. Being a forensic professional—which includes the field of forensic interviewing—infers that one applies the highest standards in collecting, analyzing, preserving, and presenting evidence to a court of law or other tribunals. The term "investigative interview” with an interviewer's forensic mindset can be used to achieve all interview objectives, even obtaining truthful confessions that stand up to the scrutiny of the courts and public opinion. Key to this, the author contends, is eliminating the term “interrogation” and the confession-obtaining mindset it creates. In its place, the term “investigative interview” is used, promoting a forensic mindset to achieve desired interview objectives. What transpires during the interview must stand up to the scrutiny of the courts and public opinion. In this regard, due process, documenting the procedure, and practicing proven, effective techniques is paramount to getting to the truth—the ultimate goal of any investigation. The book includes a chapter dedicated to false confessions, due to is criticality and frequent occurrences of this. It continues with a discussion on the desired qualities of an investigative interviewer and strategies to break down barriers and gain trust with reluctant, uncooperative, and hostile interviewees. Proper report writing, an underrated key to any interview and investigation, is addressed in detail. Lastly. the book provides training on best practice interview steps and strategies to lead the interviewee to the truth that will stand up to the scrutiny of the courts and public opinion. Investigative Interviewing: Adopting a Forensic Mindset is well-suited as a textbook—outlining techniques and detailing all relevant case law concerning confessions— in addition to providing an Instructor’s Manual with Test Bank and PowerPoint slides for professors to utilize in classroom instruction.
