AMACOM | 2002-05-15 | ISBN: 0814471226 | 288 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

Outside of the accounting and finance departments, not many business people are interested in the finer points of financial reports. But every manager must have a thorough understanding of what their finance and accounting staffs do, why they do it, and what these reports really mean. Edward Fields' Essentials Of Finance And Accounting For Nonfinancial Managers tells how to understand the basics of a balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and annual reports. Newcomers to reading company financials will appreciate the clear explanations on investment returns, analysis ratios, and other methods of understanding business reports.

This indispensable book demystifies the role that accounting and finance play in a corporation and demonstrates how financial decisions are manifestations of company goals. The author's crystal-clear examples show how managers can connect corporate financial information directly to their own strategies and actions. To demonstrate these connections, the author covers such essential topics as:

* Balance sheets and income/cash flow statements * Reading and understanding annual reports * Fixed-cost and variable-cost issues * Financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting.

Nafziger's text is filled with real-world examples--emphasizing the themes of poverty, inequality, unemployment, the environment, and deficiencies of people in less developed countries.

Project Quality Management: Why, What and How

2008-08-10T14:44:00.000-07:00

J. Ross Publishing | 2005-06-29 | ISBN: 1932159487 | 192 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

Winner of the 2006 Cleland Award for Literature from Project Management Institute (PMI).
Quality is a much mentioned but little employed component of project success. There are many quality books, tools, and training courses on the market oriented toward the manufacturing domain, yet they provide little information of relevance to project managers who work with intellectual processes more than the action details of production. So where does a project manager go for guidance on integrating the quality demanded in project implementation? Right here!

Project Quality Management by Kenneth Rose offers project managers a specific, succinct, step-by-step project quality management process not found anywhere else. It gives you an immediate hands-on capability to improve project implementation and customer satisfaction in any project domain and will help maintain cost and schedule constraints to ensure a quality project. This user-friendly guide presents tools and techniques that implement the general methods defined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge-Third Edition (PMBOK) published by the Project Management Institute (PMI), and augments those methods with more detailed, hands-on procedures that have been proven through actual practice.

Key Features:

-Provides project managers an explicit step-by-step quality management process, along with a coherent set of quality tools organized and explained according to their application within this process that can be applied immediately in any project context
-Introduces a Wheel of Quality that codifies in one complete image the contributing elements of contemporary quality management
-Establishes a new quality tool, the pillar diagram, that provides a needed capability to identify root causes of undesirable effects
-Includes a final walk-through of a practical exercise relevant to many project domains, which will help readers gain experience using the tools and techniques of this project quality management process before applying them to their own project work

Wiley | 2005-03-11 | ISBN: 0471660930 | 672 pages | PDF | 13,1 MB

Offering a user perspective to corporate finance, this text poses three major questions that every business has to answer, and provides the tools and the analytical techniques needed to answer these questions.

1. Where do we invest our resources? (The Investment Decision)

The first part of the book shows how to assess risk and develop a risk profile for a firm, and convert this risk profile into a hurdle rate. You'll also learn basic rules for estimating the returns on any investment.

2. How should we fund these investments? (The Financing Decision)

Firms generally can use debt, equity, or some combination of the two to fund projects. This part of the book examines the relationship between this choice and the hurdle rate for analyzing projects, and shows how to use the financing decision to maximize firm value. You'll also find a framework for picking the right kind of security for any firm.

3. How much cash can and should we return to the owners? (The Dividend Decision)

The third part of the book establishes a process for deciding how much cash should be taken out of the business and in what form (dividends or stock buybacks).

The final chapter in the book ties the value of the firm to these three decisions, and provides insight into how firms can enhance value.

Great Minds in Management: The Process of Theory Development

2008-08-10T14:27:00.000-07:00

Oxford University Press, USA | 2005-09-28 | ISBN: 0199276811 | 616 pages | PDF | 2,3 MB

In Great Minds in Management, Ken G. Smith and Michael A. Hitt have brought together some of the most influential and original thinkers in management. Their contributions to this volume not only outline their landmark contributions to management theory, but also reflect on the process of theory development, presenting their own personal accounts of the gestation of these theories.

The result is not only an ambitious and original panorama of the key ideas in management theory presented by their originators, but also a unique collection of reflections on the process of theory development, an area which to date little has been written about by those who have actually had experience of building theory.

In their concluding chapter, Ken G. Smith and Michael A. Hitt draw together some common themes about the development of management theory over the last half a century, and suggest some of the conclusions to be drawn about how theory comes into being.

The Theory and Practice of Revenue Management

2008-08-10T14:21:00.001-07:00

Springer | 2004-06-17 | ISBN: 1402077017 | 714 pages | PDF | 14,3 MB

The Theory and Practice of Revenue Management is a book that comprehensively covers theory and practice of the entire field, including both quantity and price-based RM, as well as significant coverage of supporting topics such as forecasting and economics. The authors believe such a comprehensive approach is necessary to fully understand the subject. A central objective of the book is to unify the various forms of RM and to link them closely to each other and to the supporting fields of statistics and economics. Nevertheless, the topics and coverage do reflect choices about what is important to understand RM. Hence, the book’s purpose is to provide a comprehensive, accessible synthesis of the state-of-the-art in Revenue Management.

The area of Revenue Management (sometimes called yield management) has been developing rapidly over the past decade. All major airlines, car rental companies and hotel chains currently employ Revenue Management systems and profitability of these systems is well documented. Books describing basic concepts of Revenue Management appeared long time ago. Yet, there was no single place to look for the theory behind Revenue Management systems. This long-awaited book represents a concise and up-to-date source of academic knowledge on the theory of Revenue Management as well as implementation aspects. It is a perfect reference for graduate students in Operations Research and for others interested in learning about state of the art in this area.
