You Can Hear Me Now: How Microloans and Cell Phones are Connecting the World's Poor to the Global Economy - PDF
نویسندگان: Nicholas P. Sullivan خلاصه: Bangladeshi villagers sharing cell phones helped build what is now a thriving company with more than $200 million in annual profits. But what is the lesson for the rest of the world? This is a question author Nicholas P. Sullivan addresses in his tale of a new kind of entrepreneur, Iqbal Quadir, the visionary and catalyst behind the creation of GrameenPhone in Bangladesh.GrameenPhone—a partnership between Norway's Telenor and Grameen Bank, co-winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize—defines a new approach to building business opportunities in the developing world. You Can Hear Me Now offers a compelling account of what Sullivan calls the "external combustion engine"—a combination of forces that is sparking economic growth and lifting people out of poverty in countries long dominated by aid-dependent governments. The "engine" comprises three forces: information technology, imported by native entrepreneurs trained in the West, backed by foreign investors.

How to Run a Great Hotel: Everything You Need to Achieve Excellence in the Hotel Industry - PDF
نویسندگان: Enda Larkin خلاصه: You don’t need anyone to tell you just how competitive the hotel industry is; you areprobably all too aware of that fact. Of course, the exact nature of the competition youface depends on factors such as your location and the markets you are in, but for sure,you will be competing with others for your share of the spoils. This is a good thing,even if it doesn’t always feel that way, because it forces you to stay on your toes.The challenges in hotels are compounded by the fact that the industry isparticularly susceptible to economic volatility and other shocks which are beyondour control. The current global recession is a good example of that instability. Addto this mix an ever more savvy and demanding customer and it is clear thatour industry is as competitive as it gets. In such a dynamic environment, it isnot an exaggeration to say that only the very best hotels can prosper over thelong term.It is for this reason that excellence is a paramount concern in our industry. Itmatters everywhere and to everyone: from the small family-run operation to thelarge hotel chain, at the budget and luxury ends of the market, in new or wellestablished hotels. Whether you own or manage a hotel, are early in your careeror have years of experience behind you, it’s an issue for you. Whatever yourparticular circumstances, excellence matters because customers increasingly de-mand it and lasting success in our industry stems from an ability to deliver it.Towards excellenceThe path to excellence lies in taking a long-term view of business developmentand involves constantly question what it is you are doing and why you are doingit, with a view to continuously improving every aspect of your operation. Seekingto achieve excellence requires a consistent focus on four central themes which areregularly seen, not only in all great hotels, but in all leading businesses.

The Mega Producers: Secrets of Financial Services Superstars to Lead You to the Top - PDF
نویسندگان: Steven Drozdeck خلاصه: In the United States, slightly more than half of 1 percent of all the financial professionals control one-quarter of the country's monetary assets. These mega producers made their own rules for success, says financial services trainer and author Steven Drozdeck, and they now stand at the top of the industry with the wealthiest clients, the largest books (averaging over $1 billion), and the greatest financial gains. How did they do it? Each individual found his or her own way, emphasizes Drozdeck, typically going it alone, and frequently making unnecessary mistakes. He interviewed these exceptional people and, for the first time, describes the strategies and formulas that propelled them to the top of their field. In The Mega Producers readers will learn: * How they got started. * Major transitions in their careers, as well as major roadblocks. * Types of clients they deal with, and how to acquire such clients. * Their business structures, investment emphasis, and investment philosophies. * Their biggest errors and how, in hindsight, they could have avoided them. * Things they wish they had done differently. * Advice they offer to those following in their footsteps. There is a conspicuous void of resources and mentors in the financial services industry, according to Drozdeck. The Mega Producers offers a fresh approach, a synthesized description of what it takes to truly be "the best of the best" in the competitive world of financial management and planning. Most important, readers will learn what to do and what to avoid on the road to success.

Do You Know What You Look Like?: Interpersonal Relationships In Education - PDF
نویسندگان: Theo Wubbels, Jack Levy خلاصه: Much of the work in this book has originated from an international project called "Education for Teachers". Educational researchers from Holland, USA, Australia and Israel look at an important element of teacher behaviour - that is the interpersonal actions which create and maintain a positive classroom atmosphere. The book uses systems theory and family therapy to analyze what happens in classrooms, looking at classes as "big families". It provides a simple way to collect feedback from participants in communication in education (students, teachers, principles, student-teacher supervisors). Thus for example, differences between students' perceptions and the teachers self-perception of the teacher communication style are are formed. This feedback can be used to improve teaching. The book reviews research on communication styles of teachers in secondary education with the help of the questionnaire on teacher interaction and includes implications for teacher programs.
