Book Description

The largest retail branch bank network is built in one of the most formidable environments in the world. This book takes the journey from Year Zero to the present, tracing the trials and triumphs of a group of people as they built an employment generation project for demobilized soldiers in 1992 into the largest commercial retail bank branch network in Cambodia by 2003. Along the way they influenced the nation’s financial system and stimulated a banking industry that serves poor and low-income people. The book offers a tantalizing analysis of events, organizational dynamics and a business model that incorporates profit and purpose. It examines the transition from the microfinance field that is jealously guarded by donors to a breakthrough response of commercial banking for the people.

5 out of 5 stars excellent reading.......2006-03-10

Clark has written a remarkable story of modern microfinance. The evolution of ACLEDA is a lucid demonstration of the past, present and future thinking on microfinance worldwide from a more charitable exercise stigmatising microentrepreneurs as "the poor" to a businesslike venture that is focused on delivering competative financial services to the same customer base. Clearly a victory for the micro-entrepreneurs in Cambodia.

5 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Read & Excellent Case Study in Poverty Reduction.......2005-12-08

"When There Was No Money" is a superb story, delightful reading AND a valuable education in microfinance and poverty reduction strategies.
I would encourage all types of people to read this book, from the general reader looking for an interesting story to curl up with, to the economist charged with improving a national economy. The lessons to be learned from this book and history are remarkable.
The history walks you through the literal time in Cambodian history (not that long ago) when there was no money, no national currency because it had been eradicated as something evil under a terrible regime. Acleda Bank has grown to be a highly successful commercial financial institution, and this book walks you vividly through that dangerous and exhilarating journey.
Kudos to Acleda Bank, and kudos to Heather Clark for providing us with this story.

    If you are attracted by the name "How the foreign exchange market works" and want to know how, this is not the book to read. The text hard to understand and it does not give a clear explanation of the foreign exchange market. Take my word because you don't want to waste your time and your money. DO YOU?

    5 out of 5 stars Finally an option book to be proud of.......2003-03-07

    Mr. Walker is clear and concise in his depiction of how the options markets work. He details various strategies and makes options investing understandable to those new to it.

    In my 11 years as a futures investor, broker, and author, I have never seen someone with as much grasp of options investing as Mr.Walker and have the capability to explain it.

    5 out of 5 stars An excellent Book.......2002-09-20

    Comprehensive, simple, full of examples - worth the money.

    5 out of 5 stars Anyone Can Understand !.......2002-08-02

    Yes, As a beginner I can confidently say I know what option is, it's uses and the risk involve. The Author did not only explain the principle but gave practicable example everyone can relate to. All in simple and plain English, you don't need to have been to a school of economy to know what an option is. With the help of this book, I can't look stupid when others uses terminologies relating to option. Keep up the good work Joseph.

    5 out of 5 stars understandable explanation of why you care about options........1999-11-18

    If i had to pick a book that explained the most about options to the layman in the clearest language in the fewest pages, this would be it.

    a must read for anybody who wants to understand how to use options

    5 out of 5 stars Good introductory book with plenty of examples........1999-10-25

    Good introductory book with plenty of examples. Good layout too. Many different options trading techniques are discussed, each with an indication of how risky it is. It even suggests leaving some of the more advanced techniques to the professionals, or more experienced traders - good advice.

      Book Description

      This groundbreaking book explores the relationship between organizational identity and strategy and proposes a practical strategy-making process that helps to avoid the typical pitfalls in strategic change processes. In doing so, the author bridges an important gap in management and strategy literature and explains how to practically link content and process when designing market strategies. A new conceptual framework is also presented which emphasizes the importance and dynamics of organizational identity and corresponding time discrepancies for strategy making.

      Whilst most strategists use the economically and analytically `best' strategy as a measure, Olaf Rughase introduces a new measure for strategy making that takes personal feelings, values and aspirations of organizational members into account. Claiming that individually desired organizational identities - which can be seen as individual visions - give direction, motivation and impetus for strategy action and development, he suggests reaching a shared desired organizational identity which should then be taken as a strategy measure. Using rational and analytical factors the shared desired identity is then challenged and evolved until an attainable market strategy that works in practice is reached. In this way he also shows how the organization's customers can be closely connected to organizational identity in practical strategy making.

      By weaving both practice and theory together, this fascinating book provides a fresh voice on compelling management issues and will be invaluable to academics, researchers, practitioners, consultants and students with an interest in strategic and organizational management.

        i wouldn't waste your money on this book. The only way i can describe it is useless. Unless you plan on starting a donald trump sized electrical business with 500 employees. This book is all about running a huge business and has about one reference to the electrical field in it. Anyone starting an electrical contracting business isn't gonna start anywhere within the scope of this book.

                                      I see why Jean Chatzky is so popular, she really can break things down so that anyone at any level can understand them. At times I was hoping for something more but felt that I learned a lot nonetheless.

                                      I think Suzy Orman gave this industry (financial self-help) a bad name. Jean has restored its lustre.

                                      Jean provides a thorough overview of the process of optimizing ones financial affairs. I'm in the investment management business (with Ivy degrees -- whatever that is worth) and am generally skeptical of this stuff, but Jean gives tangible, actionable insights, and writes with great skill. A clever book that is also useful -- rare.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Great Book for Women.......2007-05-19

                                      I felt this book is great for those women who don't know enough about their finances, but would like to start. I am a single mom and do all my own, but still learned a few things to start saving for the future.

                                      3 out of 5 stars Guide to financial security for women........2007-04-08

                                      The author wrote this book to be directed to women. If you enjoy shopping and hate dealing with finances, then this book is for you. Jean Chatzky will gently guide you with a little prodding to quit whining and get your finances in order.
                                      She believes if you want to get rich, if you want to be wealthier than you are today, you really need to do only four things.
                                      1)You need to make a decent living.
                                      2)You need to spend less than you make.
                                      3)You need to invest the money you don't spend so that it can work as hard for you as you are working for yourself.
                                      4)And you need to protect yourself and this financial world you've built so that a disaster-big or small-doesn't take it all away from you.
                                      This is outstanding advice and I completely agree with her, these have been the keys to building my personal 6 figure net worth.
                                      She also has sprinkled through out "Map to a Million" which shows you what saving and investing a certain amount of money will grow to in 20 or 30 years. Some of the amounts are really shocking. For example start investing 10% of a $35,000 income at 30 years old and you will have $457,254 at retirement, if the employer gives a 5% match it will be $685,881 at 65 years old.(This does not even include raises, and the money gets about 8% a year in stock index funds).
                                      If you are a beginner in personal finance reade this book, it will be a tremendous help. Also read Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey for a book from a male perspective.

                                      5 out of 5 stars A book every woman needs!.......2007-03-18
