Select: Jumpstart the Cycle of Excellence-Encourage Peak Performance by Putting the Right Person in the Right Job
by Heather Beckham Edward M. Hallowell John A. QuelchAs General Electric CEO Jack Welch said, "Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy." Smart managers know that job fit means paying attention to three things: what a person likes to do most; what he or she does best; and what adds the greatest value to the project or organization. In this chapter, bestselling author ("Driven to Distraction") and practicing psychiatrist Edward Hallowell focuses on "Select," the first of five steps in the Cycle of Excellence. He uses real-life examples to demonstrate the importance of fit-that when there's a mismatch between the employee and the job, everything that follows, no matter how fervent the effort, suffers. He also explains how to recognize a bad fit and what to do to fix it. The chapter offers practical steps you can take today-including the "Hallowell Self-Report Job-Fit" questionnaire-that will help you identify your employees' strengths and interests and match them to the particular challenges of your organization. The chapter concludes with a discussion of "conative style"-defined as an individual's natural, inborn style of solving a problem-and how understanding this characteristic in each of your employees can help you put the right person in the right job. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 2 of "Shine: Using Brain Science to Get the Best from Your People."

Selected
by Mark Van Vugt Anjana AhujaA groundbreaking, evolutionary science-based exploration of the history of leadership that explains how and why some men and women evolve into good or great leaders, and some do not.We are all leaders or followers -- or both. We can recognise leadership in almost every area of life: in the workplace, among friends, within families, in politics and religion. But what makes a good or bad leader, and what makes an outstanding one? Selected examines how and why leadership has evolved over tens of thousands of years, and presents a bold and compelling new "mismatch hypothesis": the slowness of evolution means that there is a mismatch between modern leadership and the kind of leadership that our Stone Age brains are still wired for. This makes for all sorts of tendencies, problems and solutions that no author has yet discussed but that affect all aspects of our lives.Full of fascinating examples drawn from a diverse range of spheres, from politics and commerce to sport and culture, Selected explains why taller political candidates usually win, why women chief executives attract such hostility, why we like it when the boss asks after our children and what prime ministers and presidents can do to improve their chances of electoral success.This is the first book of its kind -- reaching into business, psychology, politics and current affairs -- to explore how leadership affects us all. It also offers the first truly scientific theory of leadership: where previous books have provided anecdote, it details empirical evidence. Selected provides deep insight into our personal and professional lives at a time when the world urgently needs to acknowledge great leadership.From the Hardcover edition.
Selected Chinese Cases on the UN Sales Convention (Selected Chinese Cases on the CISG)
by Peng Guo Haicong Zuo Shu ZhangThis book focuses on Chinese cases on the CISG decided by Chinese courts of all levels, focusing on those decided from 2013 to 2016. During this period, the number of cases grew fast compared to 2010 to 2012 covered in volume 3. The growth in the total number reflects that parties might become more familiar with the CISG and therefore decided not to opt out of it; in addition, the case collection and report systems in China at that time were developing very fast, rendering many cases easily accessible. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of selected cases. The analysis of those cases will be on a case-by-case basis. For each case, an English summary of the judgment will be provided. In the comment, the People’s Courts’ approach to the interpretation and application of the CISG will be discussed. Comments of the individual case will be written either by scholars, or judges or lawyers from international and comparative perspectives to discuss the successes and pitfalls of the interpretation and application of the CISG in China. These selected cases reflect how People’s Court of all levels started to deal with various issues arising from the CISG and will help understand whether and how the People’s Courts change their approaches to the interpretation and application of the CISG in the future.

Selected Economic Writings
by James MillJames Mill was the consummate utilitarian economist and theorist: his numerous intellectual interests and practical pursuits shatter the net boundaries of modern specialist scholarship in social science.Mill's many-sided genius was primarily a product of the age in which he lived. The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries saw a remarkable flowering of intellectual genius in Scotland in all of the arts and sciences, which gave the country a leading place in the broad European movement known as the Enlightenment, Mill being in fact only one of many brilliant men Scotland produced at that time.Mill's writings in this volume, first published in 1966, cover his development as an economist and are an attempt to assess his contribution to classic political economy. Particular attention is paid to the formative but less well-known pre-Benthamite period of his life. The volume opens with a substantial biographical assessment of Mill's life and work. The selections are specifically divided into four groups consisting of: early economic writings (""An Essay of the Impolicy of a Bounty on the Exportation of Grain,"" ""Commerce Defended,"" and ""Smith on Money and Exchange""); James Mill and David Ricardo (""Elements of Political Economy""); Mill on scope and method (""Whether Political Economy is Useful""); and Mill and India (""History of British India""). Donald Winch provides an introduction to each section that contextualizes the essays in Mill's own work and the economic thought of the time.James Mill: Selected Economic Writings is sure to be of interest to students of economic theory and social policy. One of the founders of utilitarianism, he adopted that doctrine to both British conditions and Britain's broader imperial pursuits.Donald Winch is professor of economics at the University of Sussex. He has authored and edited many books and papers on economics, economic theory, economic policy and economic history.

Selected Perspectives on Platforms in E-Commerce Ecosystems: Recommendations for the Design and Management of Boundary Resources and Guidance on the Orchestration of Ecosystem Participants
by Tobias WulfertDigital platforms hold significant economic value, enriching various industry sectors. While they are pivotal in driving value creation and capture, it is not solely their technological prowess that underpins their economic significance. Rather, their effectiveness lies in their integration within business ecosystems. In this study, Tobias Wulfert examines digital platforms in the context of e-commerce through five lenses: · Enterprise architecture · Boundary resources · Application lifecycle · Dynamic capabilities · Value creation This analysis focuses on different e-commerce platform types, developing an architectural framework and a taxonomy for classification. The author also delineates e-commerce ecosystem architectures, emphasizing the role of platforms as central components and the involvement of peripheral ecosystem participants. He explores boundary resources as crucial interfaces between platforms and ecosystem participants. He further suggests a reference procedure model for the management of these boundary resources. Furthermore, he delves into the dynamic capabilities necessary for effective ecosystem orchestration, identifying configurations of dynamic capabilities that can confer sustainable competitive advantages.
