Book Description

Raising the Bar, produced by a unique team of business experts and UN agencies, is designed to fill a critical vide - poches the support of more than 1,000 organisations for the globally recognised Principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the need for this support to be translated into the day-to-day running of business to create value and improve performance.

The Nine Global Compact Principles cover human rights, labour standards and environmental responsibility. But what does it mean to implement the Compact and its principles? How can the broad brush strokes of the Principles form the basis of management change? And how should companies establish benchmarks and performance indicators for implementation? For many companies, the journey is just starting. How can they ensure that they align with the Global Compact in ways that continue to reward their other business objectives? How should they embrace and capitalise on the Global Compact's potential for bringing together business, the public sector, trade unions and civil society in new partnerships?

The aim of this book is to answer these questions by providing a performance model clearly grounded on the total quality management approach to assist businesses in putting the Global Compact into practice. Raising the Bar collects together and categorises a wealth of corporate responsibility tools, good practice and case studies in a structure familiar to anyone aware of business excellence models and demonstrates that values create value - leadership commitment to the Global Compact can impact both the boardroom and the shop floor, public image and balance sheet.

Full of graphics and designed with accessibility in mind, the book will be a goldmine for managers looking for inspiration on how their businesses can be good corporate citizens and real proof that good business is also good for the bottom line.

Book Description

As government faces more complex problems, and citizens expect more, the way government delivers services and results is changing rapidly. The traditional model of government agencies administering hundreds of programs by themselves is giving way to one-stop services and cross-agency results. This translation implies collaboration--within agencies; among agencies; among levels of governments; and among the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. The first part of this book describes what networks and partnerships are. The second part presents case examples of how collaborative approaches have actually worked in the public sector, when they should be used, and what it takes to manage and coordinate them.

Book Description

Your boombox or dual-cassette deck can do more than play your favorite tapes. It can make a lot of money for you, almost automatically. Be warned, however, that once you've learned this remarkably easy way to earn income, you may have to get over the guilt or the shock reaction that many people have. "Money shouldn't be this easy to make", is the most common initial response. But, it is, and youll adjust quickly.

This money-generating system is completely legal in most of the countries of the world, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, all of Scandinavia, Italy and most of the rest of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and most of Asia, Africa and Latin America, even the former Soviet Republics.

In most places, this business isnt even considered controversial. In fact, the chances are very good that, if you follow these instructions carefully, you will discover that many organizations in your community, including churches, schools, and youth groups, will often be eager to actually help you promote your business and help you become even more successful.

Another exciting aspect of the boombox business is that you can use it anywhere, at home, at work, while driving or commuting (using a cigarette lighter power adapter), while on vacation, even while sleeping, if you wish. It requires as little as 15 to 30 minutes of actual work per day. So, its easy to find the time for it.

Best of all, there is probably nothing about this business that you won't like. Everything you'll be doing is either pleasant or nearly effortless. For example, you won't need to phone people or knock on their doors, trying to sell them anything. There are no meetings to attend, no paperwork to fill out, no risk, no investment, no obligations, no commitments.

Also, even though there is a boombox involved, this business doesnt make any noise, which really surprises most people when they first hear about it. The whole operation is completely silent 99% to 100% of the time. So, you can even operate this business while working at a full time job without anyone else hearing or even realizing what you are doing.

It's just about the ideal home business. It has only one real limitation. The maximum you can realistically expect to earn with a single boombox is about US$250 per day. Thats about 160 or $330 Canadian or Australian. However, there are several ways around this income barrier. First, there is no limit on how many boomboxes you may operate at once. (Most people can learn to operate several with little difficulty). There is also no rule that says you cant get other people to help you as your business grows. Anyone with a boombox could start working for you immediately, after just a few minutes of training, since no other equipment is required. Put your entire neighborhood to work if you wish, to really unleash the income-generating power of this amazing system.

Youve never seen anything like it a business that can earn back its cost the first time you use it. Order your copy of the program, today, and discover the amazing things that How to Make Money with Your Boombox can do for your personal income.

Highly Recommend this audio cassette........2003-03-13

I found out about Dan Lee Dimke a few years ago. One of the programs I bought produced by Dr. Dimke was HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR BOOMBOX.
I was fascinated by this audio tape program that I got the Copyrights to produce the tape myself.
Get your copy today. It's well worth the few dollars it would cost you to get it.
The tape contains easy-to-follow instructions that you can listen to while at home or driving in your car. It shows you step by step how to put that boombox you have to better use than just listening or playing your favorite music....how to easily generate income with it.

Misleading title.......2003-09-28

The title of this book is misleading. I expected that this book would discuss career opportunities for technical people in various industries like biotech, the film industry, etc. It does not. This book is more of a guide of how to get a job in technology, how to negotiate, etc. than anything else.

Excellent book!.......2002-12-24

Having read all of Debra Benton's books, and also working in the technology field, I was interested to read what she'd have to say about this field currently mired in gloom and doom. Unlike some of her other books, which reiterate and build upon the principles outlined in "How to Think Like a CEO" and "Lions Don't Need to Roar" -- both great books, btw -- this book focuses more on new material for how a person can be successful with a technology-related position starting today and looking into the future.

From the opening of the book, there isn't even a specter of gloom and doom about the future of technology. Rather, Debra has opened up a gleam of light about how technology is still a viable career choice, and how a person can leverage their technical training and experience in both technical and some not-so-technical fields.

Highly recommended reading!

Book Description

Ninety audio minutes with four guided visualizations that give hope and tools to achieve real dreams. This is an effective and practical approach for women who are ready to set meaningful goals in work, life, creativity and matters of Spirit. All visualizations have a relaxing background of original music by Spencer Brewer, new age pianist. A good description of the experience was written in a NAPRA review this July/Aug `01 — “Simply lovely! ...a unique and loving tool to help the listener step two years into the future and embrace herself. (The references are feminine, but the program is equally powerful and relevant for men.) Side A introduces the listener to her future self—not just what it looks like but what it feels like—in vivid detail. Side B furthers the process by introducing the `personal genie', a vital part of each of us that is connected to the power of manifesting our deepest desire. Wall is careful to define prosperity as an all-encompassing state! of well-being, not just [the] financial. By focusing on both grounding in true self and projecting that self into the future, she helps us understand and achieve our dreams.” Triana Elan, Editor

Book Description

Why did the Soviet Union squander the political leverage afforded by its trade subsidy to Eastern Europe? Why did Soviet officials fail to bargain with resolve, to link subsidies to salient political issues, to make credible commitments, and to monitor the satellites' policies? Using an unprecedented array of formerly secret documents housed in archives in Moscow, Warsaw, and Prague, as well as interviews with former Communist officials across Eastern Europe, Randall Stone answers these questions and others that have long vexed Western political scientists.

Stone argues that trade politics revolved around the incentives created by distorted prices. The East European satellites profited by trading on the margin between prices on the Western market and those in the Soviet bloc. The Soviet Union made numerous attempts to reduce its implicit trade subsidy and increase the efficiency of the bloc, but the satellites managed consistently to outmaneuver Soviet negotiators. Stone demonstrates how the East Europeans artfully resisted Soviet objectives.

Stone draws upon recent developments in bargaining and principal-agent theory, arguing that the incentives created by domestic institutions weakened Soviet bargaining strategies. In effect, he suggests, perverse incentive structures in the Soviet economy were exported into Soviet foreign policy. Furthermore, Stone argues, incentives to smother information were so deeply entrenched that they frustrated numerous attempts to reform Soviet institutions.

Book Description

The success as well as the recent misfortunes of the post-war Japanese economy has been one of the most debated points in economics. Many explanations focus on cultural and institutional factors, and in particular the role of "Informality" in networks organizing business activity and government policy. This book provides the first quantitative and qualitative assessment of Informality in the formation of Japanese monetary policy. The author spent two years at the Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies at the Bank of Japan and the Japanese Ministry of Finance and offers a unique "insider-outsider" perspective.
