Original Pronouncements 1996/97: Accounting Standards As of June 1, 1996 (Vol 2)

Book Description

Many organisations are changing the structure of some of their internal service departments such as HR and Finance, to give them a more consultative and strategic role within the company. However, in many cases, this takes place with little thought as to how the new function can be best established and how the individuals themselves need to change in order for it to be successful.
The book is about helping practitioners understand what is involved in operating as a business partner within an organisation. It will help them to assess how to make the transition from working operationally to working in a more strategic position and will equip them with the tools and techniques to help them in their new role. For generalist HR practitioners who are about to embark on Business Partner roles, or who are struggling to make a difference in such roles, the personal change journey can be made more difficult if people do not know what is involved, or understand how HR Business Partners can make a positive difference to their organisations success. The temptation then to revert to familiar activities can be strong and dangerous to personal and functional credibility.
The authors draw on their experience of working with HR teams to show what being an HR Business Partner means in practice. They look at the challenges and what can be done to address them, and provide practical insights into how to develop the skills and confidence required to really make a difference in Business Partner roles.

* Outlines what being an HR Business Partner means in practice
* Use of tools and techniques will be illustrated through practical case study examples
* Shows how to develop a range of skills for building internal & external client relationships

Book Description

A new economic paradigm has, in recent years, focused on human capital and intangible assets as the most important, though perhaps least understood, factors in determining business performance. Advocating a High Performance Work System to maximize the quality of human capital, and a move from individualistic (or "bottom-up") to systematic (or "top-down") thinking, The HR Scorecard builds on the Balanced Scorecard approach to develop a measurement system that will demonstrate the connections between HR architecture and shareholder value, securing a strategic role for HR. This chapter serves as an introduction to the book's central concepts.

A look into Byzantine astronomy........2002-11-28

This translation of an important Byzantine document, first uncovered by the great astronomy historian Otto Neugebauer from Vatican sources, gives us insight into the contributions made by Byzantine astronomers to cosmological theory. It produces evidence that in addition to preserving the ideas of Ptolemy and Islamic contribitors such as al-Tusi, the Byzantines added their own modifications to this corpus. The authors of this translation and commentary suggest that the original document made its way to Italy and may even have influenced Copernicus, who spoke Greek and traveled in Italy. Although this book is somewhat technical with its formulae and epicycles, the more casual reader can skim through these and still get the point. Also, the side-by-side photos of the original text and illustrations with clear schematics next to them, and the translations of their content, will appeal to the more visually-oriented reader. It is exciting to see an original 13th Century document opened up before one's eyes!

Planetary models in Byzantine.......1999-01-07

This book studies planetary models, described in a Byzantine article, written at the end of the 13th century by the medical doctor and amateur astronomer Gregory Chioniades. The Byzantine manuscript describes the motion of the sun, the moon and the five planets, gives parameters for their trajectories and, in addition, contains thirteen pages with diagrams. The book presents the first edition of the original text (Vat.Gr. 211 ff 106v-121r), its English translation and an extensive analysis of its content. At the exhibit "Rome Reborn" in the Library of Congress, the Byzantine article was described as "one short and confused treatise, translated by Gregory Chioniades, ..." . It is commendable that the authors Paschos and Sotiroudis make a serious effort to analyse the difficult text and compare its contents with Arabic and Persian schools of thought (Ibn-ash-Shatir and al-Tusi) and with the heliocentric models of Copernicus and Newton. They point out the influences that astronomy received from the East and the transmission of the new methods to the West. They show that Chioniades is a master in handling planar rotations and utilizes them to improve the trajectories of the moon and Mercury. The book shows that the ancient astronomical tradition flourished in Byzantium and the classical methods were modified, in a few cases, to include more accurate description of the paths of the planets as a function of time. In addition to historical remarks and comparisons, the book contains analytical methods, which are useful to students of history of sciences.
