Handelscontrolling: Optimale Informationsversorgung mit Kennzahlen

Book Description

Handelsunternehmen gut zu führen ist in Zeiten turbulenter Veränderungen und dramatischen Preiswettbewerbs ein schwieriges Unterfangen. Um der Aufgabe gerecht zu werden, benötigen alle Unternehmensbereiche zahlreiche Informationen. Die Schaffung, Aufbereitung und Analyse entsprechender Daten zur Vorbereitung zielsetzungsgerechter Entscheidungen ist die Aufgabe des Controllings. Die Autoren stellen in diesem Buch ein Vorgehensmodell zum Aufbau eines gut strukturierten Handelscontrollings vor und zeigen auf, wie ein solches inhaltlich gestaltet werden kann. Dazu werden über 500 Kennzahlen präsentiert. Durch die Darstellung eines methodischen Vorgehens und der inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung wird das Themengebiet Handelscontrolling umfassend durchleuchtet. Die gute Strukturierung anhand des bewährten und erprobten Ordnungsrahmens Handels-H-Modell erlaubt eine fundierte Systematisierung des Handelscontrollings und stellt den Zielbezug der erörterten Kennzahlen sicher.

Book Description

In this important book, Norm Fruchter argues that our national failure to carry out the Brown mandate has produced segregated urban school systems that fail poor students of color. Drawing on a rich array of research and personal experience, he examines why urban districts have failed and what must be done to transform our city schools. He identifies urban districts as the key actors in this transformation and profiles three school districts that have achieved significant success in closing the achievement gap. He also identifies grassroots community organizing as a critical lever for provoking and supporting meaningful change in schools.

After the inspiration: How to create a future worth living.......2004-04-26

Tom Atlee's work illustrates the positive impact citizen deliberative councils can have where divisive public issues stall as intractable conflict.

Chapter 3 -- Wholeness, Interconnectedness, and Co-creativity -- provides the Rosetta for understanding "co-intelligence" and the qualitative change in conversation when we embrace wholeness, interconnectedness, and co-creativity.

Want to change the quality of the conversation? Read this book now.

Utterly Sensational--Basic Book for Humanity.......2003-12-01

I see so many things starting to come together around the world and through books. The Internet has opened the door for a cross-fertilization of knowledge and emotion and concern across all boundaries such as the world has never seen before, and it has made possible a new form of structured collective intelligence such as H.G. Wells (World Brain), Howard Bloom (Global Brain), Pierre Levy (Collective Intelligence), Willis Harman (Global MindChange), and I (New Craft of Intelligence--Personal, Public, & Political), could never have imagined.

This book is better than all of ours, for the simple reason that it speaks directly to the possibilities of deliberative democracy through citizen study circles and wisdom councils.

The book is also helpful as a pointer to a number of web sites, all of them very immature at this point, but also emergent in a most constructive way--web sites focused on public issues, public agendas, new forms of democratic organization, and so on.

Still lacking--and I plan to encourage special organizations such as the Center for American Progress to implement something like this--is a central hub where a citizen can go, type in their zip code, and immediately be in touch with the following (as illustrated on page 133 of New Craft):

1) a weekly report on the state of any issue (disease, water, security, whatever);

2) distance learning on that issue;

3) an expert forum on that issue;

4) a virtual library on that issue including links to the deep web substance on that issue, not just to home pages of sponsoring organizations;

5) a global calendar of all events scheduled on that issue, including legislation and conferences or hearings;

6) a rolodex or who's who at every level for that issue;

7) a virtual budget showing what is being spent on that issue at every level; and

8) an active map showing the status of that issue in time and space terms, with links to people, documents, etcetera.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. If the authors cited above have been coming at the same challenge from a "top down" perspective, then Tom Atlee, the author of this book, gets credit for defining a "bottom up" approach that is sensible and implementable. This book focuses on what comes next, after everyone gets tired of just "meeting up" or "just blogging." This book is about collective intelligence for the common good, and it is a very fine book.

A thoughtful and philosophical work.......2003-05-16

Tom Atlee's The Tao Of Democracy: Using Co-Intelligence To Create A World That Works For All offers the reader a positive viewpoint on and for creating a democracy founded upon wisdom, citizen participation, a culture of dialogue, and in an harmonious balance that encourages the best in people. A thoughtful and philosophical work written specifically to stave off the impending self-destructive side of current civilization, The Tao Of Democracy is recommended reading for students of Political Science and Philosophy.

Your company is not a machine. It may make machines, or it may service them, but it is not, in itself, a machine. It's a living entity in an unpredictable world. This makes it nearly impossible to run a business organization effectively with a hierarchical, top-down management style. And yet, posits Chris Turner in All Hat and No Cattle, that's the way most companies try to do it. They may give lip service to other management styles, to open chains of communication and all that, but in reality these managers are "all hat and no cattle": they talk a good game, but in the end don't really have anything to back it up.

Turner is a veteran of Xerox. She was there when its corporate name was synonymous with photocopying, and when it had huge markets to itself, and she was still there when the Japanese turned the copying world upside down by being able to sell machines for less money than it took Xerox to manufacture them. So she's seen how a corporation's assumption about how the world works can get turned on its ear, and she thinks the lessons she learned at Xerox are applicable to any large company that's set in its ways. For example, she notes that very few people actually learn how to do anything by reading the instructions--only about 15 percent, according to a study she cites. Far more--61 percent--learn by trial and error, or through social interaction, or a combination of those two methods. And yet, most managers try to teach people to do things by showing them the instructions. "I wondered who learns from PowerPoint slide presentations," she writes. "The answer is nobody!" This is a book that nearly anyone who trains, teaches, or manages a staff can learn from. Some managers reading this book will see themselves reproduced in unflattering shades of black and white, but, hey, sometimes you have to look at yourself as others see you, unpleasant as that may be. --Lou Schuler

Book Description

An irreverent and inspirational guide to overcoming corporate complacency, injecting spirit and energy, and creating real change and personal fulfillment in organizations of all shapes and sizes.

Are "knowledge-work," "empowerment strategies," and "continuous improvement" making your head spin? Have you heard "let's get everybody on the same page" just one time too many? Was the latest management training just another dose of warmed-over dogma? Then it's time to start kicking up some dust and making a difference. In All Hat and No Cattle, maverick consultant and writer, Chris Turner, serves as our guide, and with a healthy dose of Texas humor and the wisdom gained from experience on the front lines, she exposes much of what passes for management wisdom as baloney and offers alternative ways of thinking about organizations and the people who bring them to life. Not your father's management textbook, All Hat and No Cattle shows how real growth, vitality, and change result when all of us take responsibility for doing things in new ways-ways that create the future now. All Hat and No Cattle is chock full of ideas guaranteed to help frazzled folks shake up the workplace.

Old Hat and Great Title.......2001-01-16

There is an old syllogism of organizations. 1. We must do something. 2. This is something. 3. We must do this.

Many a budding institutional innovator, frustrated by the hidebound habits of her colleagues, has nonetheless stifled her creativity for fear of losing influence, job, or respect. Then there are those like Chris Turner, who resolutely turn their horse's head and take the road less traveled. In Turner's case, that means donning the proud mantle of change agent, leading corporate learning programs at Xerox Business Services. Since leaving XBS, Turner has turned consultant and speaker, using her irreverence, Texan argot, and impatience with untested convention to inspire revolution.

Turner wants change, and she wants it now. She wants to replace institutional fear with "love-based systems." She believes in "disturbing the system," doing something - anything - differently to provoke a reaction. Most of all she castigates "all hat and no cattle," a Lone Star State expression for all style and no substance. Pay for performance, obsessions with measurement, corporate welfare, bad PowerPoint slides: "all hat and no cattle," declares Turner, and she delights in taking the high and mighty down a notch or three.

Irreverence can be entertaining, even when it fulminates on a soapbox. But like another successful Texan who partied throughout college, Turner tends to assume that the people in charge are self-interested, greedy mediocrities who can't be trusted. Appealing though they may be, generalizations cut both ways: we mustn't assume that all managers are automatically right, but nor should we assume that they're automatically wrong. Turner is mad as hell and not going to take it any more: fair enough, but by condemning any activity that perpetuates the status quo, she often veers from passion to petulance. It's imprudent for a sans-culotte to show frustration at not being queen.

If you're a stymied OD professional, you may be inflamed by this call for revolution. You'll certainly welcome Chapter 6, in which Turner offers specific, detailed suggestions for revamping organizational meetings. And you can always add to your storehouse of quotations, as Turner strews aphorisms across her pages with Barlettian generosity - Emerson, Wilde, Einstein, Didley, all are grist to her mill. But in the end All Hat and No Cattle suffers from the same syndrome it so gleefully diagnoses: too much prate, not enough practice. Change agent, heal thyself.

Insightful and Provocative.......2001-01-05

After reading this book, I recommended it to several friends, who in turn told several friends, and so on. This is a powerful and insightful glimpse by a trained observer, into organizational dynamics. I've used Turner's stories and exercises, always with profound results. Her focus on the human aspect of the organization is critical for those wishing to bring change to the vapid, smokey halls of corporate America. "When the student is ready, the Master will come". Turner is Masterful.

A real disappointment.......2000-11-09

The book began as an interesting concept, but quickly I realized that the author was never at a job long enough to see any results. She never was in a position of importance in any of the companies, so I don't really know where she gets the idea that these programs will actually work. She has views about almost every company and suggestions, but so far I've not been able to find anything that would lead me to believe that what she says had any validity. Save your money and buy another book.

Blowhard's Blather.......2000-07-27

"All Hat and No Cattle" purports to be an insider's account of, amongst other things, the lessons learned from being part of a bloated bureaucracy run amok. The title comes from the Texas term for "all talk without any substance." Indeed the foreword by Alan Webber extols the virtues of the author's genuine honesty. He even says that she "writes with a Texas twang!"

Trouble is, if that's the only real thing here, it's not enough to make up for the sloppy thinking and other defects that make this book such a waste of money. (Wish I could get a refund on grounds that the book had nothing of any value to say!)

My ex-husband and I both attended the Xerox Business Services (XBS) "Camp Lur-ning" organized by the author a number of years ago. She contends that the positive effects to the company are still felt to this day. Oh yeah? If true, why'd she bail like so many of us did? Tom Peters obviously failed to consider this when he cited Chris Turner as an example of passion and caring transforming large organizations into creative enterprises.

The book really has only about enough substance for a small pamphlet but embellishes to the point that the final pages degenerate into an incoherent diatribe, nah--it's just mush--of how all the ills of society are the result of white males running the show. Readers are encouraged to do everything from writing their elected officials to voting for Ralph Nader!

Not realizing that she had nothing much to say in the first place, the author tells readers that this is a story without end so she gives, in the book's final pages, a URL where readers are told not to be strangers (the contraction "Y'hear?" seemed missin' y'all!). Even here, most of what is posted reflects the ignorance keeping the author from assessing reality in a way that would have let her draw conclusions that made sense or, even better, would have been of some use.

The problem with Xerox in general, and XBS in particular, is the drag on operations by the bloated levels of bosses. Coupled with the incompetence of the over paid executives and it's no wonder the stock has tanked!

The biggest falsehood Chris Turner spreads is the myth that XBS was the only financial money maker within the corporation. Any XBS "profits" over the years were at the expense of the rest of the enterprise, mostly getting credit for the profitable part of the sale of equipment "bought" from manufacturing (at cost) along with the "services" (mostly slave labor) provided for running the same equipment. The dime-a-dozen vice presidents belched forth by XBS then actually believe their own propaganda--that they know what they're doing--and executives in the rest of the company follow their flawed example!

Chris Turner's a nice person but her book is no better than the phonies she used to work for. Too bad! Don't waste your time or money on this terrible, incoherently rambling, shoddily thrown together, replete with misprints, work which, with even a little bit of thought, could have risen to the level of fluff or, perhaps even, all hat and no cattle?

The single star given was generous. (Star of Texas?)

send for the posse.......2000-03-12

Chris Turner is a maverick turned loose onto Big Business, in this case Xerox. She questioned and made changes to the top-down autocratic management approach in order to stimulate interest and growth in Xerox. All Hat and No Cattle is a phrase she uses to describe managers who have no idea of what is really going on in their department/company. She inspired people to stir things up and try new ideas and concepts to get people/employees fired up setting up "camps" where people met/networked in a free-spirit open method. Once they understood what was the goal, which was growth and saving money, they were off and running on their own. She introduced new ways of doing things to stimulate them and it worked. They became very enthusiastic and zealous in their endeavors to make this work. Many managers use key words such as "empowerment, innovation and learning" without anything to back it up, no substance. All meetings are the same with power-point slide presentations and the same topics rehashed and never resolved. No one learns from these types of meetings she determined. She states that we "resist idiocies that will disappear shortly to be replaced by the latest flavor of the month. People resist inane organizational programs because people are smart." Chris Turner uses humor to describe corporate complacency and has you acknowledging you've experienced managers/leaders that she describes. As a nurse manager myself, she has us understand that with true employee involvement and giving them appropriate tools to work with they can surprise you with their adaptability, innovation and enthusiasm. Out of this involvement change can come, change for the better- bottom line cost savings, increased profit and increased employee morale. All of this really shakes up the bosses, who feel threatened by this increased employee involvement.

The right level of translation and interpretation.......2001-06-06

The kit as a whole is invaluable, bringing together "yarrow" sticks and coins with a book that reduces the interpretive material to a reasonable level for the beginner. The summary divination (image) reads well and seems to get the gist of the details over nicely, at least for me. Going to Ritsema and Karcher's larger, more exact translation provides an intermediate/advanced interpretation. One flaw: typos on the quick reference card for consulting the oracle with coins or sticks, mixing yin and yang--check the diagrams in the book instead, which are accurate.

Amazing - Focus, ask, read, and learn.......2000-10-18

I like this kit a great deal because it provides the tool necessary to properly consult the oracle. Further, it translates the hexagrams into language that is more palatable to the the Western ear. It is truly amazing that man has found a way to query and listen to the forces of nature that influence his life. This has helped me gain insight to many of my most puzzling life questions.

Book Description

The world is a mess. The privileged few prosper. The masses suffer. And everyone feels spiritually empty. Most people would blame capitalism, racism, or some other "ism". But according to Sharif M. Abdullah, the problem is not ideology. It's exclusivity -- our desire to stay separate from other people.

In Creating a World That Works for All, Abdullah takes a look at the mess we live in -- and presents a way out. To restore balance to the earth and build community, he says, people must stop blaming others, embrace inclusivity, and become "menders". He outlines three simple tests -- for "enoughness", exchangeability, and common benefit -- to guide people as they transform themselves and the world.

Luckily Patch Adams listed this book from his personal library on his web page. That is how I began the search for my own copy, thank you Amazon.
America is a powerhouse, but like a star athlete in a drunken brawl, a powerhouse out of control. Sharif M. Abdullah gives us the keys for building a nourishing nation that does indeed work for all, instead of a toxic one that works barely hit and miss. He also addresses our soul-starved condition that dominates our present day culture. Americans, rich and poor are continually asking, "where's the beef?" Give yourself 48 hours to get this book into your own hands, it is amazing. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get into the transformation game, no bench warmers allowed!

Excellent Book.......2006-06-18

Creating a World That Works For All is one of the best books I have ever read. The author brings up many good points and questions that causes the reader to actually pause and think. If you're looking for a great book to challenge your mind, this is the choice!

Sharif has definitely got his finger on the pulse! Not only does he go into unique detail clarfiying the issues facing our local and global society, he offers powerful solutions - both next steps and long range strategies. I cannot recommend this book enough. Everyone should read it, and read it soon!
