Friends in High Places : The Rise and Fall of Clark Clifford
For more than forty years, Clark Clifford was Washington's consummate Democratic power broker - attorney and adviser to the nation's most influential leaders. His 1991 memoir, Counsel to the President, looked back on a remarkable career of public service. But the very year his autobiography was published, the Clifford legend began to crumble. Caught up in the scandal that destroyed the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, the eighty-five-year-old Clifford was arrested on charges relating to his lawfirm's involvement with the outlaw bank. Though his case never went to trial, and his protege, Robert Altman, was found not guilty, Clifford's reputation was in ruins. How could such a man come to such an end? What happened? And why? In Friends in High Places, a noted investigative reporter and a chief investigator in the Senate inquiry on BCCI provide the answers. Drawing on original documents, more than a hundred interviews with Clifford's friends and adversaries, and fifty hours of interviews with Clifford himself, the authors reveal the drive and shrewdness that led Clifford to the pinnacle of power - and demonstrate convincingly that his involvement with BCCI was no aberration, but the bitter fruit of seeds planted at the beginning.

The Paradox of Power : A Transforming View of Leadership
As Senior Executive Vice President of the Orlando Magic, Pat Williams is known throughout the sports world as a consummate promoter and a keen talent scout. His boundless imagination and zany antics have led his team to victory since their very first season. But Williams' leadership philosophy is untraditional, to say the least. Now, he shares that unique philosophy, which bucks conventional management wisdom and is founded instead upon the Scriptures, using Jesus Christ as a leadership model. Examining the paradoxes that made Christ an exceptional leader, he then offers fascinating and instructive examples that make those principles relevant today. Successful leadership is not a matter of simply maximizing profits, but of striving to make this world a better place, and Williams shows how the paradoxical approach is so much more powerful than traditional leadership based on common sense.

The Simple Rules of Risk : Revisiting the Art of Financial Risk Management
In an age where companies and financial institutions are keenly focusing on managing the financial risk of their operations, the implementation of quantitative methods and models has been of tremendous help, allowing firms to analyze and manage their risk more efficiently and effectively. However, the focus on quantitative risk management, while important, can sometimes be over-emphasized at the expense of judgement, logic and experience. Market dislocations of the 1990’s have revealed the shortcomings of purely quantitative approaches to risk management – and the need for a strong grounding in the "common sense" aspects of the discipline. At is core, the successful management of risk is largely an "art". In The Simple Rules of Risk, the author, based on over fifteen year’s experience in senior risk management positions around the world, takes a fresh look at the qualitative aspects of risk management. Providing detailed presentation and discussion of the simple rules that should form the core of any effective risk management process, including the 10 "cardinal rules", Erik Banks shows how these, in conjunction with new or existing quantitative procedures, can form the basis of an effective and robust risk management framework.

Gustavo Cisneros: Un Empresario Global
Book DescriptionGustavo Cisneros, uno de los principales empresarios globales, forma parte de una dinastía de empresarios iniciada por su padre, Diego Cisneros, en la segunda generación no sólo mantiene si no supera los logros de la primera. Gustavo Cisneros consigue convertir un importante y saneado negocio venezolano en un jugador dentro del mercado global, propio de la época que le ha tocado vivir. Pablo Bachelet relata de una forma amena, y no especializada, el entramado de un negocio de muchas cabezas que, conforme se van haciendo mas grande, también se hace mucho mas complejo. Uno siente que se está en la junta directiva de la organización, Volando con Cisneros a Miami, Nueva York o Madrid, e incluso vive en carne propia y casi en tiempo real, el vértigo de negociaciones complejas y, sobre todo, arriesgadas. El autor presenta a Gustavo Cisneros en toda su complejidad, con sus triunfos y fracasos. En este sentido, las experiencias de Galerías Preciados o, mucho después, el intento de crear una única plataforma de satélite para toda Latinoamérica con Murdoch, Azcárraga, y Marinho son fascinantes como el éxito de CADA, Venevisión, Univisión o la operación ultra secreta para convertir la Organización Cisneros en el Franquiciador de Coca-Cola en Venezuela. Gustavo Cisneros, "El adelantado," según lo defina Carlos Fuentes en su prologo, es una historia de riesgos premiados. También de errores admitidos. Es una historia de oportunos cambios de velocidad. Del negocio de consumo perecedero, Cisneros pasa al negocio de las telecomunicaciones. De la generación de flujo de caja, a la generación de valor. Y siempre, antes del siguiente paso, la consolidación interna. La saga empresarial de Cisneros - digna de ser descrita por un Balzac o un Dreisner, y comparable a los Fugger renacentistas- posee, como toda vida- y vida, sobre todo, de acción-, luces y sombras, derrotas y victorias, detalladamente descritas en este audiolibro.

Creating the Discipline of Knowledge Management: The Latest in University Research
In this book Dr. Michael Stankosky, founder of the first doctoral program in knowledge management, sets out to provide a rationale and solid research basis for establishing Knowledge Management (KM) as an academic discipline. While it is widely known that Knowledge is the driver of our knowledge economy, Knowledge Management does not yet have the legitimacy that only rigorous academic research can provide. This book lays out the argument for KM as a separate academic discipline, with its own body of knowledge (theoretical constructs), guiding principles, and professional society. In creating an academic discipline, there has to be a widely accepted theoretical construct, arrived at by undergoing scholarly scientific investigation and accompanying rigor. This construct becomes the basis for an academic curriculum, and proven methodologies for practice. Thus, the chapters in this book bridge theory and practice, providing guiding principles to those embarking on or evaluating the merits of a KM program. As a methodology itself for undertaking the development of a body of knowledge, a KM Research Map was developed to guide scholars, researchers, and practitioners. This book presents this map, and showcases cutting-edge scholarship already performed in this nascent field by including the dissertation results of eleven KM scholar/practitioners.*First book to provide cutting-edge research from new scholars in Knowledge Management *Provides a rationale and research base for establishing knowledge management as an academic discipline*Research from the first doctoral program in knowledge management in North America, at George Washington University

Power and Prosperity: Outgrowing Communist and Capitalist Dictatorships
This final work by a world-renowned economist will take its place among the classics of political economy. Why do some economies do better than others? How does society encourage the kind of market economy that generates continually increasing incomes? How do particular styles of government affect economic performance? World-renowned economist Mancur Olson tackles these questions and others in what will surely be regarded as his magnum opus. Olson contends that governments can play an essential role in the development of markets. Reliable enforcement of private contracts and protection of individual rights to property depend on governments strong enough not to undermine them. His exploration of market-augmenting governments will stand as a cutting-edge work on economic growth and provide a useful framework in which to consider the Asian financial crisis and its aftermath. As Susan Lee noted in Forbes, his pioneering insights might have won a Nobel Prize for Olson had he lived a bit longer.
