Building Innovation into Program Reviews: Analysis of Service Delivery Alternatives
Harry P. Voytek, Kenneth P. Holmes, Allen E. Hatry Manufacturer: University Press of America ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 087766465X |
Book Description
This easy-to-use book should be useful to managers at all levels of government. It gives practical guidance on how to resolve the dilemma every public manager faces-between the constant pressure to improve program efficiency and effectiveness, on the one hand, and the risk of wasting taxpayers' money on new ways of doing things that end up costing more than they save, on the other. The authors also give guidance to government managers on how to select the most promising program alternatives for consideration, and how to analyze these alternatives as a part of regular program operations-"before" a new approach is implemented. A companion volume to "The Private Sector in State Service Delivery."

Corporate Control and Enterprise Reform in China: An Econometric Analysis of Block Share Trades (Contributions to Economics)
Christian Büchelhofer Manufacturer: Physica-Verlag Heidelberg ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3790820199 |
Book Description
This study sheds light on the efficiency of corporate control allocation in Chinese listed firms. Using a panel data set for the period 1996 to 2006, it examines the frequency, causes and consequences of changes in corporate control. The results indicate that poorly performing firms are the predominant targets of control changes; shareholder and creditor control generally act as a complement for changes in control. Following the change in ownership there is a substantial amount of corporate restructuring and an improvement in operating performance. Significant differences in these dimensions emerge, however, between State and private transfers of control. The findings not only provide insights into the motives and constraints of the key players involved in governance practices in China; but they also contain useful implications for other emerging markets around the world that have weak legal systems and weak property rights protection.

Mother Leads Best: 50 Women Who Are Changing the Way Organizations Define Leadership
Moe Grzelakowski Manufacturer: Kaplan Business ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0793195187 Release Date: 2005-03-15 |
Book Description
If you were to write down all the traits a 21st century leader should possess, you would be describing the quintessential mom: nurturing yet tough, inclusive yet decisive, empowering yet accountable, and humble yet courageous. For this reason, it should come as no surprise that there’s been a dramatic increase of “mother-leaders” on ""Most Powerful Women"" lists and also at the top of America's large businesses. Executive mothers are winning the hearts and minds of their employees and the boards who hire them. They have found the magical combination of toughness and softness that CEOs need to lead in today's volatile corporate arena.In her new book, Mother Leads Best – 50 Women Who are Changing the Way Organizations Define Leadership, top high-tech-industry executive and mother Moe Grzelakowski has discovered the keys to why motherhood transforms good leaders into great ones. Through interviews with 50 of America’s top corporate women who are also moms, Moe found that bearing and raising children had an amazing impact on their values and skills:
• While they maintained their intensively driven, high powered, work ethic, they also became remarkably more compassionate, selfless, and grounded.
• The love they gave and received at home unleashed their maternal instincts, strengthening their character and broadening their perspective on life.
• Their overwhelming desire to be the best mother they could possibly be sharpened their focus and softened their edges. They learned to manage chaos, stay calm in a crisis and foster teamwork.
The stories of transformation in Mother Leads Best will captivate anyone interested in solutions to today’s corporate leadership issues. Moe weaves together the common threads of leadership maturity experienced by 50 remarkable executives in a way that will change both men’s and women’s perspective of mother leaders. The evidence she puts forth creates a convincing case that embracing the “maternal leadership model” offers organizations a competitive edge.

Flawless Consulting: A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used
Peter Block Manufacturer: Pfeiffer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0787948039 |
Amazon.com
The second edition of Peter Block's Flawless Consulting gracefully updates what many consider the best resource of its kind. New chapters on implementation, "whole-system" strategies, and ethics are included, but in general it simply fine-tunes Block's proven advice to match the transformations that business and society have undergone since initial publication two decades ago. "The days of long studies and expert-driven answers are passing," the author proclaims in his new preface. "The task of the consultant is increasingly to build the capacity of clients to make their own assessments and answer their own questions." He then subtly modifies his established recommendations accordingly for every step, from the initial client meeting and problem diagnosis through data collection and the execution of solutions. In the section on "Conducting a Group Feedback Meeting," for example, he advises: "Treat the group as a collection of individuals.... Ask each person what he or she wants from the meeting. This will surface differences and force the group to take responsibility for some of the difficulties that may arise." --Howard RothmanBook Description
The second edition of the "consultant's bible" is here!For over fifteen years, consultants--both internal and external--have relied on Peter Block's landmark bestseller, Flawless Consulting, to learn how to deal effectively with clients, peers, and others. Using illustrative examples, case studies, and exercises, the author, one of the most important and well known in his field, offers his legendary warmth and insight throughout this much-awaited second edition. Anyone who must communicate in a professional context--and who doesn't?--will use the lessons taught in this book for years to come!
"Who would have thought the 'consultant's bible' could be improved upon? Count on Peter Block--the consulting profession's very own revolutionary--to push us to confront and struggle with the paradoxes inherent in our work."
--Candace Thompson, organization development consultant, First Chicago NBD--A Bank One Company
"Block has distilled years of experience into a wise, down-to-earth, and eminently practical guide to excellence in consulting. If you are new to the practice, Flawless Consulting will chop years off your learning cycle. And even if you're an old pro, Block's insights will elevate you to new levels of effectiveness. Flawless Consulting is not simply about becoming a better consultant; it is about using consulting as a path toward becoming a better person."
--Barry Oshry, president, Power & Systems, Inc.; author of Seeing Systems and Leading Systems
