Management in Latin America
by Paulo Roberto FeldmannThe aim of this book is to analyze the quality of entrepreneurial management and economic development in the Latin American region from a microeconomic point of view. It seeks to explain the Latin American way of business management as well as envision ways in which Latin American businesses can increase productivity and innovation in order to successfully compete in the global market. Latin America comprises nearly 8. 5% of the global population and represents over 8% of the global GDP, yet it is home to only 12 (or less than 2. 5%) of the world's 500 largest companies. In this volume, the author analyzes the unique dynamics of Latin American corporate culture to consider the particular obstacles to more successful performance. Drawing evidence from dozens of companies across the eight largest Latin American economies, he notes that Latin American companies have evolved in the context of a highly aristocratic and oligarchic society, dominated by patriarchal families from the upper classes. Corporate structure, especially in family-owned companies, is based largely on patronage and privilege and often characterized by unnecessary hierarchy, redundant responsibilities and poor communication and information management systems Operating in relative isolation, with little incentive to invest in innovation to compete against foreign products has reinforced this conservative culture. Taking a fresh perspective that focuses at the firm level, with an emphasis on corporate administration, the author presents a compelling explanation for Latin America's delay in economic development and offers insights for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, identifying promising industrial sectors and improving productivity and competitiveness on the global stage.

Management in Ten Words
by Terry LeahyFrom one of the world's most admired business leaders, here is a remarkable bookthat will forever change the way you think about management.The meteoric rise of UK supermarket chain Tesco from humble beginnings to its current status as one of the largest retailers in the world can be largely credited to one man--its recently departed CEO, Terry Leahy. Leahy's unflagging drive and commitment to progress, his no-nonsense approach to leadership, and his visionary perspective on the manager's role made him a transformative figure not only within his company but within the culture at large--he was voted Business Person of the Year bythe Sunday Times in 2010.But what's Leahy's secret? How did a workingclass kid whose first job with Tesco was stocking shelves rise to become his company's most dynamic leader--quadrupling the firm's profits and creating a new job every twenty minutes for more than ten years? How did he steer a midlevel supermarket chain to such success that it now accounts for one-seventh of all British spending on consumer goods, with truly global reach and thriving departments in everything from mobile-phone operation to financial services?The answer can be found in ten deceptively simple words--words such as truth, loyalty, courage, and balance. Everyone thinks they understand what these words mean. But what Leahy learned in his fourteen years as the world's greatest turnaround artist was that there is far more to actually practicing these time-honored values than most people know.Management in 10 Words is Terry Leahy's unflinchingly honest, deeply insightful account of the most valuable, hard-won lessons of his career. For any leader who aspires to be truly exceptional, this book is a must-read.

Management in the Non-Profit Sector: A Necessary Balance between Values, Responsibility and Accountability (Routledge Focus on Business and Management)
by Renato CivitilloDespite the significant importance of the non-profit Sector, there is a relative limitation of possible modelling related to the management of the Non-Profit Institutions (NPIs). The studies and the research are concentrated in the analysis of the characteristics and the limitations related to the NPIs, rather than to the identification of possible models that can guarantee virtuous paths to these organizations. This book provides hypothetical trajectories for the construction of a theoretical model of reference for the management of NPIs—it accounts for the difficulties and the peculiarities of the non-profit sector, without however renouncing the concrete necessity and the great importance of approaches that try to avoid, or limit, the search for hybrid approaches constituted by the simple "transplant" of tools and techniques taken from the market or from the public administration context. Ultimately, it asserts that the non-profit sector is increasingly becoming the "pillar" on which modern civil society stands, to move towards a better future. The main aims of this book are to identify a link between accountability, responsibility and public trust in NPIs through a potential multidimensional managerial model in which these conceptual elements can be represented in a coordinated and systemic way. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers, and students in the fields of public and non-profit management, business management and administration, and public administration.
Management industrieller Produktpiraterie: Grundlagen und Überblick (essentials)
by Oliver KleineDas Phänomen der Produktpiraterie als existenzbedrohendes Risiko im Allgemeinen ist heute ebenso unbestritten wie dessen faktischer Einfluss auf den industriellen Wettbewerb im Besonderen. Dementsprechend muss das systematische Management diesesUnternehmensrisikos heute Gegenstand der strategischen Planung und Steuerung sein. Während früher noch die mangelnde Verfügbarkeit konkreter Schutzmaßnahmen sowie Schwierigkeiten bei deren Umsetzung als maßgebliche Ursache für den fehlenden Bekämpfungserfolg herangeführt werden konnten, scheint heute ein besseres Verständnis in Bezug auf die wettbewerbliche Problematik der Produktpiraterie ein wesentlicher Schlüssel zur Verbesserung der Planungssituation zu sein. Oliver Kleine liefert einen einführenden, aber ganzheitlichen Überblick zu den im Rahmen des Managements industrieller Produktpiraterie relevanten Sachverhalten.
