Accounting for Tastes
Gary S. Becker Manufacturer: Harvard University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0674543564 |
Book Description
Economists generally accept as a given the old adage that there's no accounting for tastes. Nobel Laureate Gary Becker disagrees, and in this lively new collection he confronts the problem of preferences and values: how they are formed and how they affect our behavior. He argues that past experiences and social influences form two basic capital stocks: personal and social. He then applies these concepts to assessing the effects of advertising, the power of peer pressure, the nature of addiction, and the function of habits. This framework promises to illuminate many other realms of social life previously considered off-limits by economists.

Rethinking Performance Measurement
Marshall W. Meyer Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0521812437 |
Book Description
Performance measurement remains a vexing problem for business firms and other kinds of organizations. The "balanced scorecard", widely touted as a solution to problems of performance measurement and strategic planning, has no strong basis in theory. Moreover, implementation of the "balanced scorecard" may create many more problems than it solves. This text returns to the fundamentals by asking what is the performance of the firm, can this performance be measured, and what are reasonable second-best measures if the first-best measures we would like to have are not available.Download Description

Careers in Healthcare Management: How to Find Your Path and Follow It
Cynthia Carter Haddock , Robert C. Chapman , and Robert A. McLean Manufacturer: Health Administration Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 156793174X |
Book Description
Information and inspiration for the novice or studentThe field of healthcare management offers unique challenges and rewards, both emotional and financial. This book provides healthcare management career advice including information about where managers work, the type of management positions that are available, and the skills managers need to be successful. Suggestions are offered for finding and using a mentor, pursuing graduate or continuing education, and honing management skills.
The heart of the book contains 51 profiles of healthcare managers at various career stages. In their own words, these managers describe how they prepared for their careers, what their greatest challenges have been, and what advice they would provide to new managers. These profiles illustrate the wide range of opportunities and the sense of purpose and fulfillment the healthcare administration profession has to offer.
The appendix includes a list of professional associations that can provide career insight and assistance.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointing.......2003-06-25
The rest of the book contains profiles of professionals in healthcare administration. Most of these professionals are in very senior positions in the industry, and talk about the path they took to get there.
Before reading this book, my impression of professionals in the healthcare industry was that they are generally noble people who care about the well being of fellow humans. However, after reading the profiles in this book, I get the impression that these people are just as ruthless, career oriented, and money driven as people in any other profession.
Starts of good, then looses focus.......2003-06-13
The second part (which is the rest of the book), contains profiles of healthcare managers. These profiles are authored by the managers themselves. The book states that the profiles are diverse in every way, and are therefore truly representative of careers in healthcare management. But almost all the profiles are of people in senior level management positions, and the majority are of Vice Presidents and Presidents/CEOs.
A few of the contributors have gone to the trouble of giving good career advice.
However, the vast majority have taken up most of the space to tell us about the impressive job titles they have held, and the associations they belong to. Towards the end of their profiles, they have dedicated hardly a sentence or two to giving advice, which is mostly common sense (such as getting proper education, finding a mentor, volunteering, etc).
Looking at the profiles of these people, it is not surprising to note that most of them ended up either as VPs or Presidents/CEOs, given that most of them graduated from the top ranking universities in the country.
So if you have graduated (or expect to) from an Ivy League school, you stand a good chance of following the career path of one of the people in the profiles. But this book is definitely not a very useful guide for the rest of us.

The Sun's Surface and Subsurface: Investigating Shape and Irradiance (Lecture Notes in Physics)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540441883 |
Book Description
Composed of a set of lectures and tutorial reviews, this book stems from a summer school devoted to the gravitational aspects of the sun and their geophysical consequences. Contribitions elaborate on the gravitational distortions of the sun which can be used to gain some knowledge of the sun's interior and surface phenomena but which also influences the sun's irradience and thus ultimately the earth's climate. Last but not least, it is shown that these small distortions constitute a formidable challenge to solar astrometry, and the final part of the book describes the observational difficulties in defining unequivocally the solar diameter.Customer Reviews:
