this: The desired agility either does not fit the existing projects, or there is a lack of sufficient systematics. Lean Project Management shows how the advantages of different Lean Project Management methods – adaptive, targeted and flexible – can be combined.

The book shows how an organisation can systematically professionalise its project management, and make it more flexible in a targeted manner, in order to achieve more value with less effort. Aimed at students on postgraduate courses in business and project management as well as professional project managers working in organisations both large and small, Lean Project Management is a clear and comprehensive guide to combining the best methods to achieve optimal results.Essentials of Sustainability for Business: A Practical Approach

Attention to environmental problems in the social sciences has brought some…
bold generalizations about causes of good results, but almost no systematic cross-national studies that flesh out major theoretical arguments and test those claims with data. This study makes a seminal contribution to that effort in two ways. First, by taking environmental outcomes over the last thirty years as the central dependent variable, it provides a basis for evaluating national performance in reducing environmental problems. Second, by developing a data set including performance in a number of countries and elaborating on major explanations of environmental performance found in the literature, this study provides the most rigorous available analysis of the determinants of environmental performance. In so doing, it challenges what is probably the conventional wisdom in the social sciences.Das LkSG kodifiziert erstmalig Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichten für deutsche Unternehmen und begründet somit einen Paradigmenwechsel von bislang freiwilliger verantwortungsvoller Unternehmensführung hin zu…
Verbindlichkeit hinsichtlich Umwelt- und Menschenrechtssorgfalt. Die Neuartigkeit des Regelungskontextes sowie erhebliche Negativfolgen bei Non-Compliance resultieren in großen Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung der Vorgaben. Medienwirksame Menschenrechtskatastrophen haben in diesem Zusammenhang die gesellschaftliche Sensibilisierung für menschenrechtliche Auswirkungen in den international verflochtenen und hochrisikobehafteten textilen Lieferketten deutlich erhöht. Vor diesem Hintergrund erfolgt eine ausführliche Darstellung der Rechtsgrundlagen, komplexen Regelungsinhalte und ökonomischen Implikationen des Gesetzes. Außerdem bietet das Buch eine praktische Orientierungshilfe zur Umsetzung des LkSG. So erfolgt eine exemplarische Risikoanalyse, welche die im Gesetz definierten geschützten Rechtsgüter und Anforderungen praxisnah illustriert. Anhand der Herleitung eines konkreten Risikobewertungsframeworks sowie spezifischer Umsetzungsinstrumente zur Maßnahmenwirksamkeitsmessung werden weitere konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Das Buch empfiehlt schließlich die integrierte Steuerung der Sorgfaltspflichten anhand etablierter Managementinstrumente des Compliance- und Risikomanagements zur handlungssicheren und effizienten Umsetzung der Gesetzesanforderungen.Economics for Healthcare Managers

künftige Risikomanagement ab. Im Jahr 1995 hat der Untergang von Barings Bank durch „rogue trading“ (Nick Leeson) für nachhaltige Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt, 1997 sind erste Studien zu Operational Risk in Banken erschienen (BBA/C&L), 1999 das erste Konsultationspapier zu „Basel II“, in dem „other risks“ (aus denen später „operational risk“ wurde) thematisiert wurden. Somit ist ca. ein Vierteljahrhundert verstrichen, seit erste Banken begannen, sich systematisch mit dieser Disziplin (die seit ca. 10 Jahren im breiteren Sinne, unter Einschluss von Reputationsrisiken und Strategischen Risiken zunehmend unter „Non-Financial Risk“ firmiert) zu beschäftigen. Versicherungen und andere Finanzdienstleister haben zu einem etwas späteren Zeitpunkt begonnen, sich mit diesen Themen intensiv auseinanderzusetzen. Ein Rückblick auf diese Zeitspanne und ein Ausblick auf die Zukunft scheint daher lehrreich zu sein. Der Autor ist selbst seit Januar 1999 in dem Thema unterwegs (HypoVereinsbank, später Commerzbank, KPMG, Deutsche Bank, KPMG) – ergänzend zahlreiche Vorlesungen, Seminare, Konferenzen und Vorträge zu Operational Risk und Non-Financial Risk Management.Research Developments in Sustainable Aviation: Proceedings of International Symposium on Sustainable Aviation 2021 (Sustainable Aviation)

departure from the standard HRD texts available. Based on Bierema and Callahan’s framework for critical human resource development, this book develops an understanding of HRD that addresses both key and contested issues of practice associated with relating, learning, changing, and organizing for organizations. This book covers the basic tenets of HRD, interrogates the dominant paradigms and practices of the field, teaches readers how to critically assess HRD practices and outcomes, and provides critical alternatives. The text also addresses HRD as a contested field and the importance for HRD professionals to reflect on their values, maintain their sanity, and retain their employment while attempting to do this difficult work that serves multiple stakeholders. The text weaves in Points to Ponder, Case in Point, and Tips & Tools features and exercises, giving readers an insight into HRD issues across the globe. This critical text offers an exciting alternative to the instrumentalist, managerialist, and masculine perspective of other books. Designed for students and practitioners, this textbook will be essential reading for upper-level courses on human resource development, human resource management, and adult education.The Wolf of Investing: My Insider's Playbook for Making a Fortune on Wall Street

Wolf of Wall Street who inspired the Oscar-winning film of the same name, a witty and clear-eyed guide for anyone who wants to play the stock market to their advantage and learn the secrets of a top Wall Street investor. From Jordan Belfort, author of The Way of the Wolf and subject of the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street, comes his long-anticipated guide for mastering the stock market. The Wolf of Investing teaches you when to buy, sell, hold, and cash out; how to make smarter (and safer) investments; and how to build significant wealth over both the short- and long-term. Unlike traditional investment books, each page of Jordan&’s lessons, colorful stories, and principles entertains you with the charismatic swagger portrayed so famously on the silver screen by Leonardo DiCaprio. When Belfort&’s brother-in-law, Fernando, lost nearly $100,000 dollars in investments in under sixty days, Jordan sat him down for some tough love. Using the financial acumen and insider&’s knowledge he learned during his time working on Wall Street, Jordan taught Fernando how to turn his portfolio around. Along the way, he explained which decisions were bad and why, as well as how to pivot from failure to success. Belfort teaches you everything you need to know about savvy investing—even if, like Fernando, whatever stock you&’ve touched has turned to yesterday&’s trash. As you read this guide, you will not only learn life&’s most profitable lessons, but you&’ll also laugh out loud at Belfort&’s brazen honesty and salty wit. After being enraged by watching big banks steal money from individual investors, and determined to right the wrongs of his own infamous past, Belfort now shows regular investors how we can use Wall Street to our advantage. Whether you&’re new to investing or want to take your portfolio to the next level, you will learn everything Belfort knows about the stock market from The Wolf of Investing.Startup Story: An Entrepreneur's Journey from Idea to Exit

a comic and the perspective of an educator. In The Startup Story: An Entrepreneur&’s Journey from Idea to Exit, renowned serial entrepreneur Martin Warner takes a fledgling company all the way from zero to hero, selling it for $50 million after a mere 17 months. It&’s a memoir of whirlwind entrepreneurial success, a nonfiction narrative that puts the reader in the CEO&’s seat, giving the feel of what it&’s really like to steer a company around the toughest of tracks and come out with a massive payday. A mix of Wolf of Wall Street, The Big Short, and The Apprentice, The Startup Story reads like a novel but is strictly a true story packed with entrepreneurial insights. It is a rollercoaster ride through the heaven and hell of the tech business world, populated by geeks, pirates, conmen, tycoons, geniuses, and fools. Forced to do everything at warp speed, Warner chucks all the accumulated wisdom of his own Entrepreneur Seminar out of the window on his way to a holy grail exit. Along the way, readers piece together an entrepreneurial how-to (and how-not-to) manual, with each chapter traversing the highs and the lows of founding a growing company. It shows the reader how to build a tech company out of pure desire and dogged willpower, combined with some timely expertise. The short, hilarious, and hair-raising history of Warner and his company, botObjects, provides a parable of the quintessential business experience packed with entrepreneurial insights and lessons to be learned.
