Commercial Management: theory and practice defines the role of commercial management within project-oriented organisations, providing a framework for and helping to develop a critical understanding of the factors that influence commercial management practice. It also identifies generic aspects of this practice and provides a theoretical foundation to these activities, by reference to existing and emergent theories and concepts, as well as to relevant management best practice. The book is structured into four parts: Part 1 Introduction – Commercial Management in Project Environments explores the nature of commercial practice within project-oriented organisations at the buyer-seller interface. It presents a Commercial Management framework, which illustrates the multiple interactions and connections between the purchaser‘s procurement cycle and a supplier‘s bidding and implementation cycles. Additionally, it outlines the principle activities undertaken by the commercial function, identifies the skills and abilities that support these activities and reviews the theories and concepts that underpin commercial practice. Finally, it identifies areas of commonality of practice with other functions found within project-oriented organisations, plus sources of potential conflict and misunderstanding. Part 2 – Elements of Commercial Theory and Practice covers commercial leadership; exploring strategy; risk and uncertainty management; financial decision-making; and key legal issues. Part 3 – Approaches to Commercial Practice addresses best practice management; and commercial and contracting strategies and tactics. Finally, Part 4 – Case Studies offers two extended case studies: Football Stadia (the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff; the Emirates Stadium, Islington; and Wembley Stadium, London); and Heathrow Terminal 5. The book provides a one-stop-shop to the many topics that underpin commercial management practice from both a demand (buy-side) and a supply (sell-side) perspective. It will help develop an understanding of the issues influencing commercial management: leadership, strategy, risk, financial, legal, best practice management and commercial and contracting strategy and tactics. This book’s companion website is at and offers invaluable resources for both students and lecturers: • PowerPoint slides for lecturers on each chapter • Sample exam questions for students to practice • Weblinks to key journals and relevant professional bodies

Never waste a crisis.Some businesses—and some people—will emerge from today’s economic tumult stronger and more dominant than when it started. Others will weaken and fade. It all depends on critical choices they make right now.Geoff Colvin, one of America’s most respected business jour-nalists, says even the scariest turbulence has an upside. The best managers know that conventional thinking won’t help them in tough times. They’re taking smart, practical steps—frequently unconventional and even counterintuitive—that will not only keep them strong, but will also distance them from the pack for years to come.The dozens of top-performing leaders Colvin interviewed reject the common view that slashing costs and firing employees are the only effective tactics. They see volatility as a rich opportunity to reinvent their organizations and lay the ground-work for future growth.Colvin shows us how these strategies really work, using exam-ples of major companies that have successfully applied them.

A guide to the early decisions that can make or break startup venturesOften downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: should they go it alone, or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin. The Founder's Dilemmas is the first book to examine the early decisions by entrepreneurs that can make or break a startup and its team.Drawing on a decade of research, Noam Wasserman reveals the common pitfalls founders face and how to avoid them. He looks at whether it is a good idea to cofound with friends or relatives, how and when to split the equity within the founding team, and how to recognize when a successful founder-CEO should exit or be fired. Wasserman explains how to anticipate, avoid, or recover from disastrous mistakes that can splinter a founding team, strip founders of control, and leave founders without a financial payoff for their hard work and innovative ideas. He highlights the need at each step to strike a careful balance between controlling the startup and attracting the best resources to grow it, and demonstrates why the easy short-term choice is often the most perilous in the long term.The Founder's Dilemmas draws on the inside stories of founders like Evan Williams of Twitter and Tim Westergren of Pandora, while mining quantitative data on almost ten thousand founders.People problems are the leading cause of failure in startups. This book offers solutions.

The primary colors of oil today are money (lots of it), technology (basic but demanding) and people (special ones). The colors of the rainbow can be seen in the 100+ oil producing countries. There are a dozen large petroleum producing and exporting countries. Yet most have little in their history that links them to wealth, technology and management. Corruption among the elite and governments, mismanagement and the squandering of the petroleum wealth are endemic. Culture is everything, and no other human endeavor makes this as pointedly obvious as the world of petroleum.

How to outsmart riskRisk has been defined as the potential for losing something of value. In business, that value could be your original investment or your expected future returns.The Risk-Driven Business Model will help you manage risk better by showing how the key choices you make in designing your business models either increase or reduce two characteristic types of risk—information risk, when you make decisions without enough information, and incentive-alignment risk, when decision makers’ incentives are at odds with the broader goals of the company. Leaders who understand how the structure of their business model affects risk have the power to create wealth, revolutionize industries, and shape a better world.INSEAD’s Karan Girotra and Serguei Netessine, noted operations and innovation professors who have consulted with dozens of companies, walk you through a business model audit to determine what key decisions get made in a business, when they get made, who makes them, and why we make the decisions we do.By changing your company’s key decisions within this framework, you can fundamentally alter the risks that will impact your business.This book is for entrepreneurs and executives in companies involved in dynamic industries where the locus of risk is shifting, and includes lessons from Zipcar, Blockbuster, Apple, Benetton, Kickstarter, Walmart, and dozens of other global companies.The Risk-Driven Business Model demystifies business model risk, with clear directives aimed at improving decision making and driving your business forward.

Fortune Makers analyzes and brings to light the distinctive practices of business leaders who are the future of the Chinese economy. These leaders oversee not the old state-owned enterprises, but private companies that have had to invent their way forward out of the wreckage of an economy in tatters following the Cultural Revolution.Outside of brand names such as Alibaba and Lenovo, little is known, even by the Chinese themselves, about the people present at the creation of these innovative businesses. Fortune Makers provides sharp insights into their unique styles -- a distinctive blend of the entrepreneur, the street fighter, and practices developed by the Communist Party -- and their distinctive ways of leading and managing their organizations that are unlike anything the West is familiar with.When Peter Drucker published Concept of the Corporation in 1946, he revealed what made large American corporations tick. Similarly, when Japanese companies emerged as a global force in the 1980s, insightful analysts explained the practices that brought Japan's economy out of the ashes -- and what managers elsewhere could learn to compete with them. Now, based on unprecedented access, Fortune Makers allows business leaders in the United States and the rest of the West to understand the essential character and style of Chinese corporate life and its dominant players, whose businesses are the foundation of the domestic Chinese market and are now making their mark globally.

Influence established Cialdini as the world’s foremost authority on the science of persuasion, winning plaudits from such figures as Dan Pink, Chip Heath and Tom Peters. In Pre-suasion, Cialdini builds on his investigations into the subtle world of influence to reveal that the best persuaders succeed not only because of what they say or how they say it, but because of what they do in the moment before they deliver their message. In the process he draws on a series of compelling case studies and a profound understanding of human psychology to offer a ground-breaking work that is both fascinating and brilliantly practical.

Two successful startup founders offer a comprehensive overview of the various ways startups can achieve strong, sustainable growth, and a guide to choosing the ones that will make the differencce.Why do so many startups fail? According to entrepreneurs Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares, most failed startups don’t get off the ground not because of a bad product, but because they don’t have enough customers. They make the fatal mistake of putting all their effort into perfecting their product at the cost of reaching out to potential users. Instead, they should be putting half their resources into getting traction.TRACTION is the essential guide for any startup looking to stay ahead of the curve and start building a user base early in the game. The book offers no one-size-fits-all solution: every startup is unique, so no single method is guaranteed to generate traction. Instead, the authors identify nineteen different traction channels from viral marketing to trade shows, offer insights on how to exploit each one to its fullest potential, and provide a framework to test various channels and identify the best one for any startup.Drawing on advice from more than 40 successful startup founders and marketers, from Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales to American Apparel’s Ryan Holiday, TRACTION is a comprehensive textbook for marketing your way to growth.

Bestselling author, entrepreneur, and Lean startup founder Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, reveals how established corporations and major enterprises can use Lean Startup techniques, energy and saavy to reinvigorate their company and operations, spark innovation, and drive growth. In The Lean Startup, Eric Ries, entrepreneur in residence at Harvard, serial entrepreneur and founder of the lean startup meetups, showed how ideas from the startup world such as constant iteration, minimal viable products (or MVPS), and constantly testing business hypotheses with customers to determine when to perservere, and when to pivot, now turns his attention to established, mature companies and organizations. For the past four years, Ries has been working closely with companies like GE and Toyota and Pitney Bowes to help them become more nimble, and more open to change and innovation, in order to spur growth and produce products and services that customers want. In The Startup Way, Ries shares his insights, lessons, stories, challenges and best practices from his intense collaborations with some of the world's most innovative and successful companies, as they attempt to change their culture and processes to be faster and smarter at what they do. At GE, Ries's ideas are codified under the name FastWorks; each company adapts his basic framework and ideas in their own way, to fit their particular organization and industry, as Ries discusses in the book. For every company that recognizes it needs to embrace agility, change and do so quickly if it is to survive and thrive, The Startup Way is an absolutely critical guide and toolkit.

Cuốn sách vạch trần bản chất của Amazon, Apple, Facebook và Google Được dịch sang 22 thứ tiếng, nằm trong danh sách “best seller” của cả New York Times và USATODAY, Tứ Đại Quyền Lực (The Four) khiến cả thế giới rúng động vì lượng sự thật nó hàm chứa trong nội dung. Quyển sách được khuyến cáo với người đọc là họ sẽ bàng hoàng không hề nhẹ trước những điều mình đọc…“Đây là quái vật của dòng sách kinh tế. Cuốn sách thiết yếu và bao quát này hết sức sắc bén, thú vị và cay nghiệt. Những nhận xét thẳng và thật của Scott Galloway chẳng kiêng dè bất cứ một đại gia công nghệ nào. Thực sự là một cuốn sách đáng đọc”, Chuyên gia tâm lý Adam Alter, giảng viên ngành tâm lý học tại trường kinh doanh Stern thuộc Đại học New York nhận xét như thế khi đọc xong Tứ Đại Quyền Lực. Đây là cuốn sách đầu tay của Scott Galloway, một giáo sư tại khoa Kinh doanh Stern thuộc đại học New York, phụ trách giảng dạy về chiến lược thương hiệu và tiếp thị số cho các học viên MBA năm thứ hai.Scott là một nhà đầu tư, đã sáng lập 9 công ty bao gồm L2, Red Envelope và Prophet. Anh cũng từng lọt vào danh sách 50 Giáo sư Kinh doanh Xuất sắc nhất thế giới của trang thông tin Poets & Quants vào năm 2012. Loạt clip hàng tuần Winners and Losers của ông trên YouTube đã thu hút được hàng chục triệu lượt xem. Vậy, tác phẩm của một giáo sư “siêu” kinh doanh này hấp dẫn người đọc ở điểm nào?Đầu tiên, đây là tác phẩm “đụng chạm” trực diện chuyện kinh doanh của Amazon, Apple, Facebook và Google, bốn doanh nghiệp có sức ảnh hưởng áp đảo nhất hành tinh này hiện nay. Bằng sự tôn trọng tuyệt đối, giáo sư Scott Galloway ghi nhận thành công và hành trình thành công của những tên tuổi đình đám nhất trong giới công nghệ này. Những con số, những phép so sánh mà tác giả mang đến cho người đọc khả năng hình dung các “ông lớn” này đang lớn đến mức nào. Đi sâu vào chiến lược kinh doanh của bốn cái tên hàng đầu, Scott Galloway cùng đồng thời lý giải từng quyết định, từng thương vụ lớn mà những doanh nghiệp này đã thực hiện. Ông quan niệm, hiểu được sự lựa chọn của bộ tứ quyền lực là hiểu được mô hình kinh doanh và cách họ tạo ra giá trị trong kỷ nguyên số. “Tôi viết cuốn sách này với hy vọng độc giả sẽ có được cái nhìn thấu đáo và nhận ra được thế mạnh của doanh nghiệp trong một nền kinh tế mà chưa bao giờ dễ trở thành tỷ phú như bây giờ, nhưng cũng chưa bao giờ trở thành triệu phú khó đến vậy”, tác giả chia sẻ. Tuy nhiên, điều khiến tác phẩm của Scott Galloway cực kỳ hấp dẫn là vì ông đã không kiêng dè khi chứng minh, hiểu biết của cả thế giới về bốn cái tên quyền lực kia gần như đều… sai bét. Vượt thoát khỏi làn khói thần bí vây quanh bộ tứ quyền lực ấy che mắt, ông thẳng tay lột phăng chiếc mặt nạ dát vàng của bộ tứ quyền lực để mổ xẻ chiến lược và năng lực thao túng siêu phàm của họ, từ đó giúp độc giả học hỏi và áp dụng những kỹ thuật đó vào sự nghiệp của chính mình.Trong nửa đầu quyển sách, tác giả đưa người đọc vào quá trình xem xét từng chàng kỵ binh và phân tích những chiến lược của họ. Các doanh nghiệp khác có thể học gì từ những chiến lược này. Trong phần thứ hai là cách thức nhận diện những thế mạnh cạnh tranh của bộ tứ này, xem cách kinh doanh mới của họ đang diễn tiến như thế nào. Bên cạnh đó, tac giả cũng cho người đọc thấy được cách thức bộ tứ bảo vệ thị trường của mình ra sao.Bằng một phong thái hết sức từ tốn, Scott Galloway đưa người đọc từ bất ngờ này sang bất ngờ khác. Đâu là tội lỗi của bốn chàng kỵ binh này? Họ đã lợi dụng các chính phủ và đối thủ cạnh tranh như thế nào trong việc bảo vệ sở hữu trí tuệ?Không chỉ dừng lại ở bốn cái tên khổng lồ, tác giả mở rộng bức tranh, mang đến độc giả cái nhìn toàn cảnh bằng cách điểm mặt các ứng cử viên công nghệ sáng giá khác, từ Netflix đến Alibaba, một Amazon thu nhỏ của Trung Hoa, rồi Uber và những người khổng lồ một thời từng làm mưa làm gió như IBM, Microsoft… để cùng tìm câu trả lời cho câu hỏi liệu họ có thể quay lại đường đua hay không? Ai trong số họ có khả năng phát triển một nền tảng chi phối hơn so với bộ tứ hiện tại? Ai sẽ có khả năng trở thành chàng kỵ binh thứ năm? Và, bộ tứ sẽ đưa con người đi đến đâu.Vạch trần bản chất kinh doanh của bốn doanh nghiệp đang ảnh hưởng rất lớn đến đời sống con người nhưng Tứ Đại Quyền lực của Scott Galloway không gây hoang mang cho người đọc. Cuộc trò chuyện ông với độc giả đầy giá trị khi ông cùng người đọc nhìn vào bản thân mình, xem những tính chất nghề nghiệp nào giúp chúng ta tồn tại và có thể hưởng lợi trong kỷ nguyên của bộ tứ quyền lực này. Như lời vị doanh nhân nổi tiếng Calvin McDonald, CEO của Sephora, Scott Galloway thành thật và táo bạo đến tàn nhẫn nhưng cuốn sách này sẽ buộc bạn thay đổi cách nghĩ của mình.Sách do nhà báo Lương Trọng Vũ, Kênh truyền hình FBNC chuyển ngữ, First News thực hiện, NXB Tổng Hợp TP.HCM ấn hành.

The Balanced Scorecard translates a company's vision and strategy into a coherent set of performance measures. The four perspectives of the scorecard--financial measures, customer knowledge, internal business processes, and learning and growth--offer a balance between short-term and long-term objectives, between outcomes desired and performance drivers of those outcomes, and between hard objective measures and softer, more subjective measures. In the first part, Kaplan and Norton provide the theoretical foundations for the Balanced Scorecard; in the second part, they describe the steps organizations must take to build their own Scorecards; and, finally, they discuss how the Balanced Scorecard can be used as a driver of change.

The Chinese and U.S. economies have been locked in an uncomfortable embrace since the late 1970s. Although the relationship initially arose out of mutual benefits, in recent years it has taken on the trappings of an unstable codependence, with the two largest economies in the world losing their sense of self, increasing the risk of their turning on one another in a destructive fashion. In The Codependency of America and China Stephen Roach, senior fellow at Yale University and former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, lays bare the pitfalls of the current China-U.S. economic relationship. He highlights the conflicts at the center of current tensions, including disputes over trade policies and intellectual property rights, sharp contrasts in leadership styles, the role of the Internet, the recent dispute over cyberhacking, and more. A firsthand witness to the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, Roach likely knows more about the U.S.-China economic relationship than any other Westerner. Here he In the wake of the 2008 crisis, both unbalanced economies face urgent and mutually beneficial rebalancings. Unbalanced concludes with a recipe for resolving the escalating tensions of codependence. Roach argues that the Next China offers much for the Next America—and vice versa.

Make Your Pay System Pay OffA comprehensive look at not only the choices surrounding the development of a pay system but also the pros and cons associated with each choice....Thorough.--HR MagazineIn this seminal work, acclaimed compensation expert Edward Lawler III shows companies that the way they pay can be an important source of competitive advantage. He reveals how pay strategies that draw a clear connection between pay and performance can support an organization's strategic objectives by communicating unmistakably what that organization values most. Moreover, he examines a wide range of performance-based pay practices--from piecework incentive systems to merit pay and skill-based pay--to demonstrate how compensation systems can be tailored to fit a variety of business strategies and management styles. Both traditional and nontraditional pay strategies are examined, with special emphasis given to designing pay systems that support participatory management and other innovative practices.

How poor countries can ignite economic growth without waiting for global action or the creation of ideal local conditionsContrary to conventional wisdom, countries that ignite a process of rapid economic growth almost always do so while lacking what experts say are the essential preconditions for development, such as good infrastructure and institutions. In Beating the Odds , two of the world's leading development economists begin with this paradox to explain what is wrong with mainstream development thinking―and to offer a practical blueprint for moving poor countries out of the low-income trap regardless of their circumstances.Justin Yifu Lin, the former chief economist of the World Bank, and Célestin Monga, the chief economist of the African Development Bank, propose a development strategy that encourages poor countries to leap directly into the global economy by building industrial parks and export-processing zones linked to global markets. Countries can leverage these zones to attract light manufacturing from more advanced economies, as East Asian countries did in the 1960s and China did in the 1980s. By attracting foreign investment and firms, poor countries can improve their trade logistics, increase the knowledge and skills of local entrepreneurs, gain the confidence of international buyers, and gradually make local firms competitive. This strategy is already being used with great success in Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and other countries. And the strategy need not be limited to traditional manufacturing but can also include agriculture, the service sector, and other activities.Beating the Odds shows how poor countries can ignite growth without waiting for global action or the creation of ideal local conditions.

Why have so many firms in emerging economies internationalized quite aggressively in the last decade? What competitive advantages do these firms enjoy and what are the origins of those advantages? Through what strategies have they built their global presence? How is their internationalization affecting Western rivals? And, finally, what does all this mean for mainstream international business theory? In Emerging Multinationals in Emerging Markets, a distinguished group of international business scholars tackle these questions based on a shared research design. The heart of the book contains detailed studies of emerging-market multinationals (EMNEs) from the BRIC economies, plus Israel, Mexico, South Africa, and Thailand. The studies show that EMNEs come in many shapes and sizes, depending on the home-country context. Furthermore, EMNEs leverage distinctive competitive advantages and pursue distinctive internationalization paths. This timely analysis of EMNEs promises to enrich mainstream models of how firms internationalize in today's global economy.

Johansson's "Global Marketing, 5/e" utilizes a three-pronged framework to organize the discussion of how to conduct global Foreign Entry, Local Marketing, and Global Management. Johansson seeks to develop the varied skills a marketing manager needs to be successful in each of these tasks. In foreign entry, in global management, and to a large extent even as a local marketer in a foreign country, the global marketer needs skills that the home makes experience - or the standard marketing text - have rarely taught. The recognition of the three roles helps dispel the notion that there is no such thing as international global marketing, only marketing. Much of the excellent research and tried-and-true teaching material that global marketers in business and academe have contributed over the years is reflected in the chapters and in several cases that can be found at the end of each major section. The authors have focused on material that is timely and up-to-date, and relevant to the global context.

OVERVIEWHumans are curious by nature we like to observe people in action and we not only like to play games, but also to win.With its central focus on observing management behaviour to predict likely future actions, this book explores the various ways and means of predicting competitor reaction by examining the actions and reactions of competing firms.The approach adopted in this book is based on the premise that individual behaviour follows a line of action and reaction, thus creating a predictable pattern that resembles a set of moves akin to a game of chess. This pattern is termed a critical time line.Using real-time case studies of global companies in his book, Patrick demonstrates how the pattern embedded in each time line offers a window into the strategic behaviour of companies as competitors in a game. These patterns are an integral part of decoding strategy and winning!TARGET AUDIENCE- MBA students- Business leaders, managers, professionals and executives

Managing in Turbulent Times tackles the key issues facing managers in the 1990 how to manage in rapidly changing environments. This seminal and prophetic book laid the foundation for a generation of writers on change management.This book concerns the immediate future of business, society and the economy. The one certainty about the times ahead, says Drucker, is that they will be turbulent times. In turbulent times the first task of management is to make sure of the organizations capacity for survival, to make sure of its structural strength and soundness, its capacity to survive a blow, to adapt to sudden change and to avail itself of new opportunities.The author is concerned with action rather than understanding, with decisions rather than analysis. It aims at being a practical book for the decision maker, whether in the private or the public sector.
