A Catholic Spirituality for Business by Martin Schlag (Editor)
ISBN: 9780813231693
Publication Date: 2019-05-15

Description: Spirituality and gift are notions that are en vogue. Topics such as spirituality at the workplace, spirituality management, spirituality in leadership, organizational spirituality and other related topics are trending in management literature. The "logic of gift" is also appearing more frequently, especially in attempts to rethink the way our economy works in order to include the marginalized. The expression "logic of gift" was introduced into official Catholic social teaching by Pope Benedict XVI, who presented it in association with the principle of gratuitousness, which in turn is an expression of fraternity. However, before Caritas in Veritate and ever since Marcel Mauss's groundbreaking work The Gift, the importance of gift for human relationships and for the cohesion of society had been increasingly recognized. Alain Caillé and Jacques T. Godbout further fleshed out the implication of gift for contemporary society in the context of secular social sciences, striving to overcome utilitarianism. It was the "civil economy" movement, however, that exercised greatest influence on Benedict XVI's encyclical Caritas in Veritate. This present volume reflects on the general scope of these notions for business and society. This is done by structuring the book in two parts, each dedicated to one of the two concepts. Each part has two general chapters and two that apply the notions to business and to business education. The authors are a mix of well-known emeritus professors and younger talented emerging scholars. We have also been careful to combine European with American authors. A Catholic Spirituality for Business: The Logic of Gift does not seek to provide a definitive answer to all social challenges, but to make a contribution to a better understanding of Christian spirituality and gift in connection with business organizations. The authors in this book are convinced that markets can be ethical and social, that moral change towards ethical capitalism is possible.
The Value Killers. How Mergers and Acquisitions Cost Companies Billions - And How to Prevent It. by Nuno Fernandes
ISBN: 9783030122188
Publication Date: 2020-10-28

Description: In a business climate marked by escalating global competition and industry disruption, successful mergers and acquisitions are increasingly vital to the growth and profitability of many corporations. If history is any guide, 60 to 70 per cent of new mergers will fail – and will destroy shareholder value. To date, analyses of the M&A failure rate tend to focus on individual causes – e.g., culture clashes, valuation methods, or CEO overconfidence – rather than examining the problem holistically. The Value Killers is the first book based on a holistic analysis of successful and unsuccessful transactions. Based on research, interviews with top executives, and case studies, this book identifies the key causes of failures and successes and offers prescriptions to increase the odds that future transactions will deliver all the anticipated synergies.

The Value Killers offers practical advice in the form of 5 Golden Rules. These rules will help managers and boards to ensure that target companies are properly valued; potential synergies and risks are identified in advance; checks and balances are installed to make sure that the pros and cons of the transaction are rationally and objectively evaluated; mechanisms are created that will trigger termination of bad deals; and obstacles to successful post-merger integrations are assessed (and solutions developed) before the deal closes. Each chapter includes questions for executives considering future M&As to allow them to see whether they are on the right track or not.
Timing, Marketability, And Location : The New Real Estate Paradigm. by Carles Vergara-Alert and Joan Gutés
ISBN: 9781081362713
Publication Date: 2019-09-04

Description: “There are three things that matter in the property market: location, location, location.” This has been the most well-known quote in the real estate industry for decades. However, it is not all only about location anymore. The last real estate cycle has shown the importance of timing the business cycle. Most real estate investments pursued at the peak of the real estate bubble were an economic disaster, while investments made at the bottom of the business cycle were very successful regarding the location of the real estate assets involved in those investments. Moreover, the process of recovery from the last real estate crash has demonstrated that giving the optimal market use to each building plus its characteristics –we call this marketability– is an essential factor when investing in real estate. Marketability is essential because of the potential different uses of the assets, different quality standards, design, technology, and sustainability standards. As a result, marketability involves different factors that affect the assets’ valuation and profitability. In this book, we analyze the importance of timing, marketability, and location in the real estate markets. We present and discuss the basic real estate concepts and valuation methods to provide investors and managers with the fundamental tools to make decisions. This book is intended for use as a manual of real estate valuation and analyses for practitioners and academics.

Leading Companies Through Storms and Crises by Yago de la Cierva
ISBN: 9781787264274
Publication Date: 2018-09-10

Description: Companies, even excellent companies, can find themselves embroiled in crises that threaten their reputation, the achievement of results, relationships with priority stakeholders, and even their survival. As they face the threat of serious damage, the way managers react to such crises is adversely affected by the urgency of the situation, emotional tensions, and uncontrolled behaviors, both within and outside the organization. During a crisis, it is more difficult to make the right decisions.Solving serious crises always involves measures of two kinds: action that focuses on the effects of the crisis on people and things, as well as addressing the causes of the crisis; and the communication of these actions to ensure that stakeholders understand what is being done and collaborate in overcoming the problem. Crisis management without effective communication does not lead to a solution; it simply makes matters worse.Leading companies through storms and crises provides those principles and best practices that should inspire top management and corporate communicators in facing conflicts, controversies, crises and scandals.

And Now What? by Guido Stein
ISBN: 9781787435261
Publication Date: 2017-12-08

Description: When you start a new managerial role, there is an inevitable contrast between what you believed you would find and what you're actually faced with. And Now What?helps you manage this gap between expectation and reality, ensuring that you get off to the best possible start in your new job. This book is structured in two parts, and it begins by offering readers a panoramic perspective of what a 'landing' entails in terms of personal self-leadership and managing people and uncertainty. The first part of the book reviews the process of taking charge in your new role, from preparation through to implementation. The second part presents a range of case studies arranged in order of increasing professional responsibility, allowing the reader to take a trip from the first stages of a professional leader's life to the highest responsibilities of a chairperson's role - experiencing changes, promotions, exits, internationalizations and take-offs along the way.

In this way, you can think of the leadership journey as both a personal and a professional adventure.
How to Make Things Happen by Beatriz Muñoz-Seca
ISBN: 9783319854816
Publication Date: 2018-09-09

Description: This book offers models and frameworks to analyze your service delivery systems as a whole. It presents the framework to solve customer problems by delivering the right knowledge at the right time to the right place and take advantage of the efficiency that technology and algorithms offer. Why do so many brilliant plans fail to deliver in practice? Why can't your employees just do what you want them to do? In most cases, because the operations eco-system in which those plans must be deployed fails to fully understand the problem that needs to be solved. The fourth industrial revolution is seeing advances in Artificial Intelligence industrialize the service sector. But, despite the cost-cutting that these advances offer firms are still struggling to stay competitive. That is because they think that cost-cutting delivers increased efficiency whereas it is the other way around: increased efficiency cuts costs. And the heart of efficiency in delivering services is people and their knowledge. As industrialization drives ever more standardized offerings and ever little human contact it is in those rare moments of human interaction where the greatest opportunity to add or destroy value lies. It is human brains and the knowledge they contain that are best suited to problem-solving and individualizing client solutions. The real competitive edge will become the ability to foresee and individualize problem-solving. To do this, firms must start thinking of knowledge as inventory - who knows what, who needs to know what and where and when do they need to know it.
Managing Media Businesses by Mike Rosenberg (Editor); Philip H. Seager (Editor)
ISBN: 9783319847986
Publication Date: 2018-08-12

Description: This book is a practical guide to every aspect of managing media businesses. Written by a team of experts and illustrated with interviews from leading industry players, it addresses the unprecedented change and uncertainty facing the industry. Do newspapers, magazines or books have a future? Will terrestrial television or cable services exist as meaningful players in five years' time? Is there a way to make multiple consumption platforms work together in a way that extracts the revenue needed to support the creation and development of quality content? While more and more content is being published, fewer and fewer businesses are finding a way to do so profitably and sustainably. Your answers to these questions that vex your media or entertainment business will depend on your frame - a frame based on experience gained in days that were less uncertain, less fluid and much, much simpler. Those frames need to be broken if you are to survive in times of such rapid change. This book is based on IESE's Advanced Management Program in Media & Entertainment, which IESE Business School has been running in New York and Los Angeles since 2011. It combines contributions from leading professors and practitioners, as well as real-life case studies, to establish a base upon which you can start to build the set of managerial tools that you will need to manage fast-changing media and entertainment businesses.

ISBN: 9781523373567
Publication Date: 2016-03-10

Description: The concept of corporate sustainability has gained increasing traction over the past five decades and “green marketing” is now considered a crucial element of every marketing department’s agenda. But what happens when it comes to light—as in the Volkswagen diesel-emissions scandal of 2015—that a company has been waving a green flag in order to hide a black heart? And how can companies avoid greenwashing practices that might damage their legitimacy, reputation, and market value? Riddled with case studies, expert quotes, and infographics, Green Lies encapsulates the history of sustainability, outlines the risks of greenwashing, and most importantly proposes ways that—with the right corporate commitment—green can mean gold.
Humanism in Economics and Business: Perspectives of the Catholic Social Tradition by Domènec Melé (Editor), Martin Schlag (Editor)
ISBN: 9789402400694
Publication Date: 2019-10-09

Description: This book offers different perspectives on Humanism as developed by Catholic Social Teaching, with a particular focus on its relevance in economics and business. The work is composed of three sections, covering what is meant by Christian Humanism, how it links with economic activity, and its practical relevance in the business world of today. It reviews the historical development of Christian Humanism and discusses the arguments which justify it in the current cultural context and how it contributes to human development. The book argues that the current recognition of human dignity and the existence of innate human rights are both ultimately rooted in Christian Humanism. It sets out the importance of the concept for economic activities, and how Christian Humanism can serve as a metaphysical foundation and ethical basis for a social market economy. Applying Christian Humanism to business leads to the centrality of the person in organizations and to seeing the company as a community of persons working together for the common good. Three thought-provoking case studies illustrate the wide-reaching positive impacts of applying Christian Humanism in the organization.
