Honeybees and Locusts : The Business Case for Sustainable Leadership
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Gayle C. Avery
Published by:
Allen & Unwin
Since biblical times, honeybees and locusts have represented creation and destruction. Honeybees build community and ecosystems; locusts eat green fields bare. The authors use these insects to illustrate two dominant leadership philosophies. Organisational honeybee behaviour leads to more sustainable and profitable long-term results; locust behaviour can bring short-term profit but ultimately diminishes the organisation. Their extensive research in companies around the world identifies 23 practices that drive genuinely sustainable leadership. More than a triple bottom line approach, these practices protect a firm's brand and competitive advantage, create customer and employee satisfaction, drive long-term performance and shareholder value and make for a more sustainable world. Honeybees and Locusts is compelling reading for managers looking for an evidence-based approach to achieving quantum leaps in organisational performance.

Organisation Culture : Getting it Right

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Naomi Stanford
Published by:
Profile Books Ltd
This book deals with the importance of a business' culture to sustainable success. An organisation's culture either gives it a competitive advantage or a competitive disadvantage. It is a crucial factor in determining how successful a business is and how much people want to work for an organisation. That is why managers are putting more and more emphasis on getting their organisation's culture right. This book provides a route map for managers who want to: get a grip on why culture matters and the effect it has on success; understand, define and measure their organisation's culture; position their organisation's culture: aligning it with the business strategy; avoid the common mistakes of "culture change" programmes; and, keep their culture dynamic, responsive and resourceful. Full of real life examples from companies as diverse as Ikea, Microsoft, Google, eBay, McDonalds, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Wal-Mart and Tesco, the book also ...

Buying Professional Services : A guide to getting value

Board Book
Author:
Fiona Czerniawska & Peter Smith
Published by:
Profile Books Ltd
This book is based on four premises: public and private sector organisations are spending huge amounts on professional services and most are doing it badly, without strong procurement processes or adequate understanding, resulting in wasted money and disappointing outcomes; even among organisations that use formal procurement techniques, many apply them inappropriately and achieve similarly poor results; many professional services firms don't understand how the increasing application of professional procurement processes could affect their business model, client engagement and ultimately their profitability; and, while they are working together, both professional services providers and their clients too often behave in ways that reduce the potential benefits to both parties. Using real examples from a range of private sector firms, government departments and from the professional services firms themselves, this book explores the world ...

Kieran Levis
Published by:
Atlantic Books
Kieran Levis tells the stories of some of the most innovative businesses of recent times to explain how a few succeeded - when so many failed - in creating entirely new markets and dominating them. He shows how Amazon and Google rose from nothing to enormous heights, whilst IBM, Kodak and AOL plummeted from them; how Nokia and Sky bounced from near-bankruptcy to global leadership; and charts the incredible rise and fall and rise again of Apple. Told with clarity, wit and pace, these dramatic stories reveal what it was about a few winners that enabled them to hold onto their prizes, whilst the absence of these qualities crippled the losers.

Author:
Chris Anderson
Published by:
Century (Random House)
What happens when advances in technology allow many things to be produced for more or less nothing? And what happens when those things are then made available to the consumer for free? In his groundbreaking new book, "The Long Tail" author Chris Anderson considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are being undermined by a growing flood of free goods - newspapers, DVDs, T shirts, phones, even holiday flights. He explains why this has become possible - why new technologies, particularly the Internet, have caused production and distribution costs in many sectors to plummet to an extent unthinkable even a decade ago. He shows how the flexibility provided by the online world allows producers to trade ever more creatively, offering items for free to make real or perceived gains elsewhere. He pinpoints the winners and the losers in the Free universe. And he demonstrates the ways in which, as an increasing number of things ...

Doing Business in China : A guide to the risks and rewards
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Christopher Torrens
Published by:
Profile Books Ltd
China is largely insulated from the worst effects of the global downturn, thanks to several factors: its banks have limited links with the international financial system; its institutional and regulatory apparatus is increasingly robust; mainland consumers enjoy low levels of debt and one of the world's highest national savings rates; and, private consumption is rising steadily among the country's fast-growing middle class. China's exporters may be doing less well than they have but the domestic market offers huge opportunities, and the country's economy is expected to maintain high single-digit growth over the coming years. China has a long history of confounding multinational companies. Many firms have relied on their strategies for developed markets to operate in mainland China: for most, this has failed and companies have been forced to revise plans to take into account the idiosyncrasies of the Chinese market. This book examines ...

If you cut off a spideras head, it dies; if you cut off a starfishas leg it grows a new one, and that leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. Traditional top-down organizations are like spiders, but now starfish organizations are changing the face of business and the world.
