Local Governance and Intermunicipal Cooperation Palgrave Macmillan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Territory and scale have been some of the most relevant topics in recent political science, but do we know enough about cooperation between local governments? How we think about local government has changed significantly and requires us to be equipped with new epistemological gear, considering more variables and social functions of local government than before. For instance, is inter-municipal cooperation a special arrangement? The answer is certainly positive, not as a consequence of its nature when compared to other alternatives of policy coordination and service delivery, but because it captures almost every facet of the complexity of contemporary territorial governance. Bringing relevant case-studies, previous research, and available literature together, this book will help researchers, students and practitioners with these ideas. The author provides comprehensive information about inter-municipal cooperation and identifies the main gaps in contemporary research.

The Many Meanings of Home Brill Fink

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Few ideas are as universally key, basic and primal as "home". Few ideas require more attention and new, critical re-examination in recognition of ongoing social change. In the post-pandemic and ecological reflection on how we live and approach "home" in its diverse definitions, engagement with this topic is only bound to grow in the future. This rapidly rising interest in the multidisciplinary field of housing studies is reflected also by our collection, which can be seen as an introduction to the entire research area thanks to the opening chapter, outlining its history and complexity. The following chapters by an international group of scholars representing different generations and methodological approaches examine some of the many meanings of home, houses or housing as they have been expressed in Western culture, not only across time but also across varied media: from traditional and digital theatre, through varied literary genres, to film and television, photography and street art.

Executive renumeration and corporate performance Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN

Rozmaitości

The topic of this monograph refers to the remuneration of executives and its relationship with corporate performance. The thesis provides the review of the compensation and corporate governance theories with the focus on the principal-agent theory, which describes the conflict of interests between shareholders and executives. It delivers a broad review of corporate governance models, and its control mechanisms. Executive remuneration is a motivational mechanism that should solve the agency problem by aligning incentives of the managers and the shareholders. The monograph involves the review of the structures of remuneration across selected countries, including Poland. It shows different performance measures and their correlations with the executive remuneration in the international studies. The main objective of this monograph is to examine the relationship of executive remuneration of the companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), particularly the chief executing officer (CEO) total compensation and corporate performance, measured by the changes in market valuation. The hypothesis of this paper is: The total CEO compensation has a positive relationship with firm performance measured by the stock valuation for non-financial companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. This study is the first of such complexity in the area of executive remuneration in Poland. Prof. dr hab. Maria Aluchna An original study both on Polish and international scale. The author undertook a difficult task and performed it in a way that demonstrated his high competences. Dr hab. Czesław Mesjasz, prof. UEK The research problems raised in the monograph are important and current. Their cognitive value derives from the perennial attempts to identify and evaluate the relationship between top executive remuneration and the economic performance of companies. The application value of the monograph should also be emphasised. The results of research conducted on a sample of Polish public companes can provide interesting conclusions for legislative initiatives aimed at modifying existing and creating new corporate governance standards on the Polish capital market. In this context, any attempt to describe and evaluate the management remuneration policy deserves recognition. Dr hab. Piotr Urbanek, prof. UŁ Temat książki dotyczy wynagrodzeń kadry zarządczej i ich roli w wynikach przedsiębiorstwa. Zawiera ona przegląd teorii z tematyki wynagrodzeń oraz ładu korporacyjnego, ze szczególnym naciskiem na teorię agencji, która opisuje konflikt interesów pomiędzy udziałowcami a kadrą zarządczą. W pracy przedstawiony jest przegląd modeli ładu korporacyjnego, a także wewnętrznych i zewnętrznych mechanizmów kontrolnych. Wynagrodzenie kadry zarządczej pełni funkcję motywacyjnego mechanizmu kontrolnego, który powinien łagodzić skutki problemu agencji poprzez zbliżenie celów menadżerów i akcjonariuszy. Praca przedstawia różne struktury wynagrodzeń kadry zarządczej w wybranych krajach, w tym w Polsce. Zawiera ona także przegląd wskaźników mierzących wyniki przedsiębiorstwa oraz ich powiązania z wynagrodzeniem kadry zarządczej w ujęciu międzynarodowym. Głównym celem książki jest zbadanie roli wynagrodzenia kadry zarządczej, zwłaszcza prezesów spółek notowanych na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie oraz identyfikacja związków pomiędzy wynagrodzeniem a wynikami przedsiębiorstw. Hipoteza badawcza: Całkowite wynagrodzenie prezesów jest pozytywnie powiązane z wynikami firmy, mierzonymi wyceną rynkową akcji dla spółek spoza sektora finansowego notowanych na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie. Jest to pierwsze tak kompleksowe badanie wynagrodzeń kadry zarządzającej w Polsce. Prof. dr hab. Maria Aluchna Recenzowana rozprawa jest opracowaniem oryginalnym zarówno w skali krajowej, jak i w skali międzynarodowej. Autor podjął się trudnego zadania wykonał je w sposób świadczący o Jego wysokich kompetencjach. Dr hab. Czesław Mesjasz, prof. UEK Podjęta w monografii problematyka badawcza jest ważna i aktualna. Jej walory poznawcze związane są z podejmowanymi od wielu lat próbami identyfikacji i oceny zależności występujących między wynagrodzeniami naczelnej kadry kierowniczej a wynikami ekonomicznymi spółek. Należy też podkreślić walor aplikacyjny monografii. Wyniki badań prowadzonych na próbie polskich spółek publicznych mogą dostarczyć interesujących wniosków dla potrzeb inicjatyw legislacyjnych mających na celu modyfikację istniejących i tworzenie nowych standardów nadzoru korporacyjnego na polskim rynku kapitałowym. W tym kontekście każda próba opisu i oceny zjawiska, jakim jest polityka wynagradzania kadry kierowniczej  zasługuje na uznanie. Dr hab. Piotr Urbanek, prof. UŁ Bezpłatny fragment:

Supplier Relationship Management Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co....

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

There s a new buzz phrase in the air: Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). Corporate executives know it s necessary, but there s only one problem. Nobody yet knows how to do it. Or they think it s all about bashing your vendors over the head until they reduce the price another 4%. Supplier Relationship Management: How to Maximize Vendor Value and Opportunity changes all that. §Containing the best and most innovative advice from the operations and procurement experts at consultant AT Kearney, this book shows that SRM is at root a strategic discussion requiring cross-functional interaction and internal alignment at the highest levels. It requires an honest appraisal of the value that suppliers now bring to your firm, as well as their potential value. It then requires a frank and constructive business-to-business dialogue. When this happens, a company reaps myriad benefits, ranging from new opportunity to added value to competitive advantage and, quite likely, to overall (and sometimes substantial) cost reductions. §This book shows the most concrete methods you can use today to: §Analyze and identify value-adding opportunities in the supply chain §Work closely with suppliers to maximize the benefits §Work the crucial cluster where the greatest opportunity for improvement lies §Review suppliers to encourage constant gains in quality and cost §Save money But it takes work to get there. The CEO and other C-level executives, for example, sometimes unwittingly sabotage the efforts made by procurement and operations people to optimize intercompany interaction and gain the most benefits in working with vendors for the long term. And chief procurement officers and procurement personnel aren t blameless, either. The company sees them and often they see themselves as the price reduction guys. But, instead of simply playing vendors off one another or pushing them as far as they will go, people working in the trenches with suppliers can provide many opportunities to obtain more value from vendors in a variety of ways beyond price. And in doing so, they can turn the procurement department into a major competitive advantage for the company. §Supplier Relationship Management also introduces and explains the Supplier Interaction Model, a key tool that will help you get the most from your supplier relationships. It segments the supplier universe into 9 categories, from those you want to run away from fast to those so good and so useful to your organization that it can make sense to invest in them directly. Numerous case studies show how to apply the principles to your situation. §Managing Supplier Relationships burns off the fog that has surrounded the procurement process for far too long. It is the definitive guide for business executives who want to get the maximum benefits from suppliers and gain very real advantages often invisible from the outside over competitors.

Price Management Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this book, the world's foremost experts on pricing integrate theoretical rigor and practical application to present a comprehensive resource that covers all areas of the field. This volume brings together quantitative and qualitative approaches and highlights the most current innovations in theory and practice. Going beyond the traditional constraints of "price theory" and "price policy," the authors coined the term "price management" to represent a holistic approach to pricing strategy and tactical implementation. They remind us that the Ancient Romans used one word, pretium , to mean both price and value. This is the fundamental philosophy that drives successful price management where producer and customer meet. Featuring dozens of examples and case studies drawn from their extensive research, consulting, and teaching around the world, Simon and Fassnacht cover all aspects of pricing following the price management process with its four phases: strategy, analysis, decision, and implementation. Thereby, the authors take into account the nuances across industry sectors, including consumer goods, industrial products, services, and trade/distribution. In particular, they address the implications of technological advancements, such as the Internet and new measurement and sensor technologies that have led to a wealth of price management innovations, such as flat rates, freemium, pay-per-use, or pay-what-you-want. They also address the emergence of new price metrics, Big Data applications, two-sided price systems, negative prices, and the sharing economy, as well as emerging payment systems such as bitcoin.The result is a "bible" for leaders who recognize that price is not only a means to drive profit in the short term, but a tool to generate sustained growth in shareholder value over the longer term, and a primer for researchers, instructors, and students alike.Praise for Price Management"This book is truly state of the art and the most comprehensive work in price management." - Prof. Philip Kotler , Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University"This very important book builds an outstanding bridge between science and practice."- Kasper Rorsted , CEO, Adidas"This book provides practical guidelines on value creation, communication and management, which is an imperative for businesses to survive in the coming era of uncertainty."- Dr. Chang-Gyu Hwang , Chairman and CEO, KT Corporation (Korea Telecom)

Comprehensive Manchu-English Dictionary Harvard University, Asia Center

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Jerry Norman's Comprehensive Manchu-English Dictionary, a substantial revision and enlargement of his Concise Manchu-English Lexicon of 1978, now long out of print, is poised to become the standard English-language resource on the Manchu language. As the dynastic language of the Qing dynasty (1644--1911), Manchu was used in official documents and was also the vehicle for an enormous translation literature, mostly from the Chinese. The new Dictionary, based exclusively on Qing sources, retains all of the information from the earlier Lexicon, but also includes hundreds of additional entries cited from original Manchu texts, enhanced cross-references, and an entirely new introduction on Manchu pronunciation and script. All content from the earlier publication has also been verified. This final book from the preeminent Manchu linguist in the English-speaking world is a reference work that not only updates Norman's earlier scholarship but also summarizes his decades of study of the Manchu language.The Dictionary, which represents a significant scholarly contribution to the field of Inner Asian studies and to all students and scholars of Manchu and other Tungusic and related languages around the world, will become a major tool for archival research on Chinese late imperial period history and government.

Opposition In Discourse Bloomsbury Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this important book, Lesley Jeffries introduces a phenomenon which has not been given the attention it deserves - the contextual construction of oppositional meaning. These are opposites not recognisable as such out of context but that are clearly set up this way in the text concerned. The significance of oppositional meaning is well-known, and has been discussed by scholars for millennia, from Philosophy to Politics. But the main emphasis has always been on the conventional opposite: the opposite recognised by lexical semantics. Starting from socio-cultural viewpoints, moving to original research and then concluding with a new theoretical formulation, this book introduces and consolidates a significant new approach to the analysis of oppositional meaning. It closes with a discussion of the importance of constructed opposition in hegemonic practice and makes a case for the inclusion of opposition as a central tool of critical discourse analysis. It is now essential reading for those in stylistics, linguistics and language studies.

Law, Language and Translation Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The book addresses crucial questions posited by law and language, from theoretical concepts to reporting crimes, international treaties and conflicts. The focus is on what goes wrong in communication between different languages, cultures and systems. Intentional ambiguity and ideological bias are also impacting factors within the translational and communicative polysystem. Language filters and cultural constraints may, conversely, lead to erroneous interpretations, and mistakes,' may occur at various levels of understanding.§The book is divided into four parts. The first introduces theoretical concepts of interpretation and meaning in law and linguistics, i.e. validity in interpretation, hermeneutics and the constitutional application of subsumption.' The second part highlights applicative norms and lexica, with examples of comparative lexicography and multilingual dictionaries, for example, obstruction of justice in the Frost-Nixon debate. The third part is on criminal practice and multilingual definitions and outlines a case study (cattle-stealing), with reference to historic roots and media reporting in Anglophone post-colonial contexts (USA, Mexico, Jamaica, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sudan, India). The fourth part focuses on international treaties in translations, as instruments of peace negotiations and war conflicts. This conclusive part is significant in framing the dynamics of legitimacy in colonial expansion and ruling through negotiations, treaties, and other legal instruments. Sections include the Spanish and British conquest of the New World, slavery and abolition, the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, and the definition of genocide in the Rwanda massacre.§The work extends the frontiers of interdisciplinary law and language to a dynamic trans-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach covering international legal English, international relations, post-colonial studies and translation. It is a dynamic tool providing a theoretical basis and critical insights, enhancing linguistic competence and cross-cultural awareness in the world of globalization.§It targets scholars, academics and professionals in the area of legal theory and practice, linguistic mediators, translators, media analysts and international commentators.
