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 Performance of Chinese Banks: Efficiency and Risk Features
by Yong TanThis book applies econometric techniques to test the relationship between efficiency and risk within the banking industry in China. Chapters examine how efficiency has been affected by different types of risk-taking behaviour and how risk has been an important determinant of bank efficiency in the context of the series of reforms impacting banks in China since 1978. The author begins by unpacking these reforms and proceeds to explain relevant theories of efficiency and bank risk before reviewing empirical literature in evaluating risk and efficiency in the banking industry. He then investigates the issues of efficiency and risk in the Chinese banking industry using a number of modern econometric techniques. The final chapters present the results of original empirical research conducted by the author, and provide valuable implications to Chinese government as well as banking regulatory authorities to make relevant policies.

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. Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising presents the latest scholarship on the role of sex in the most common media outlets-television programming, radio "shock jocks," music videos, magazines, and advertising. The eye-opening contributions from over a dozen recognized experts in the field provide useful empirical evidence on media-conveyed sexual stimuli and look toward moving the public dialogue on sex in the media further along. Often, opinions regarding sex in the media have little or no scientific grounding and even when scientific-grounded arguments are offered, they suffer from wide gaps in research-based knowledge. Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising is the important compilation that fills these knowledge gaps. In delving into this pressing issue, it not only offers timely findings that provide an indication of the nature, prevalence, and effects of sexual information when used as a promotional tool, but suggests new directions for the study of sex and media as well. This informative text is also extensively referenced and features numerous tables to clearly present research data. Chapters in Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising examine: the nature and extent of sexually appealing newscasters primarily on cable news programs commentary and camera angles of women&’s sporting events in the 2004 Summer Olympic Games the efficacy of both sexual content and sexual self-schema on consumers&’ attitudes toward promotional announcements, advertised programs, viewing intention, and self-reported arousal the history and content analysis of "shock jock" radio like the Howard Stern and the Bob & Tom shows the relationship among sexual content in music videos, viewer enjoyment, and actual product purchase intention Maxim magazine&’s cover formula and the competitive response from other men&’s lifestyle magazines the efficacy of men&’s magazines&’ sexual cover models on consumer outcome variables, including interest and purchase intention an international perspective of nudity in advertising in magazines versus on television a case study of the sexual appeals used in several billboard ads for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and much more! Filled with insightful and groundbreaking information, Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising is a vital resource for advertising and media professionals as well as educators and upper-level and graduate students in media, communications, and advertising programs.

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.

The Investigative State: Regulatory Oversight In The United States
by Daniel Zachary EpsteinThis book is a timely examination of congressional oversight in the United States, serving as a definitive guide for scholars and political, legal, and media observers seeking to navigate contemporary conflicts between Congress and the White House. Author Daniel Epstein has spent his professional career as a lawyer serving all sides of the regulatory process: he ran investigations for Congress, defended the White House from congressional oversight, and represented individuals, nonprofit news organizations, and entrepreneurs in federal court to fight for regulatory transparency and fairness. Epstein uses historical and observational data to argue that the modern federal bureaucracy did not begin as a regulatory state but as an investigative state. The contemporary picture of Congress having empowered the bureaucracy to set policy through rules is a relatively recent development in the political development of administrative law. The book’s novel econometric models and historical analyses force a shift in how legal scholars and judges understand delegation, congressional oversight, and agency investigations.

Investimento in borsa per principianti
by Richard Stooker Alessandro BalsanoVuoi iniziare a investire nel mercato azionario, ma non sei sicuro di come farlo? Cosa sono le azioni? Cosa determina i loro prezzi di mercato? Perché salgono e scendono? Come faccio a battere il mercato azionario? Cosa sono i fondi comuni? Cosa sono gli indici di fondi? Cosa sono i fondi tradizionali scambiati? Anche se il mercato azionario è il cuore della ricchezza di un paese e, anche se consente a tutti di essere proprietario di parte nei più grandi e più riusciti paesi del mondo, non viene insegnato nelle scuole pubbliche. Ma state attenti: la stampa principale spesso falsifica il mercato azionario. Si concentrano a fare notizie emozionanti e drammatiche per vendere copie. Francamente, il miglior investimento è l'investimento noioso. Consiste nel mettere quanti soldi ti puoi permettere in molte aziende e reinvestire i dividendi. E continuare a farlo fino a raggiungere l'età di pensionamento. Il miglior investimento non è di cercare di capire cosa succederà nell'economia o nei mercati domani, la prossima settimana, il prossimo mese o l'anno prossimo. Molti scrittori finanziari cercano di farti pensare di dover lavorare sodo nell'investimento. Devi studiare i grafici delle azioni ogni notte. Leggere relazioni annuali. Analizzare in modo approfondito i bilanci dell'azienda. Leggere THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, BARRON'S e MONEY MAGAZINE. Acquistare un software speciale. Seguire i forum di investimento online. Non così! Non perdete tempo. Questo libro porta la teoria finanziaria moderna alla sua conclusione logica. È possibile ottenere il massimo vantaggio a lungo termine seguendo il suo semplice piano. Non è necessaria nessuna teoria noiosa o economica. È semplice da impostare. Poi lo dimentichi. Non prestare attenzione alle notizie finanziarie. Basta concentrarsi sul fare il maggior numero di soldi che puoi nella tua carriera o nel tuo business, ecco tutto. E ti abbiamo spiegato anche come fare se stai cominciando con poco. Imparerai i vari tipi di azioni
