Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking
￥40.79
It is astonishing to see how many philosophical disputes collapse into insignificance the moment you subject them to this simple test of tracing a concrete consequence. There can be no difference any-where that doesn't make a difference elsewhere—no difference in abstract truth that doesn't express itself in a difference in concrete fact and in conduct consequent upon that fact, imposed on somebody, somehow, somewhere and somewhen. The whole function of philosophy ought to be to find out what definite difference it will make to you and me, at definite instants of our life, if this world-formula or that world-formula be the true one.

Spre deosebire de celelalte c?r?i ale sale, constituite ca ni?te a?a-zise ?fabule“ (sfaturile de business fiind oferite sub forma unor pove?ti moralizatoare), Avantajul-De ce s?n?tatea organiza?ional? este cel mai important atu ?n afaceri este o lucrare teoretic? (de?i pres?rate cu exemple concrete din practica de consultan?? a autorului ?i a echipei sale) ?i care sintetizeaz? principiile expuse ?n alte lucr?ri ale sale.La baza strategiei sale pentru echipele de conducere st? conceptul de ?s?n?tate organiza?ional?“, de care, din p?cate, mul?i lideri nu mai ?in cont atunci c?nd ?ncearc? s? ob?in? avantajul ?n fa?a competi?iei. Ei se axeaz? pe tehnologie de ultim? or?, strategii de marketing imbatabile sau planurile de afaceri complexe. Nu exist?, ?ns?, sus?ine Lencioni pe parcursul c?r?ii sale, o cale mai bun? de a ajuta o companie s? progreseze ?i s? se dezvolte s?n?tos dec?t elimin?nd cauzele care stau la baza intrigilor de culise, a confuziei, a fluctua?iei de personal ?i ?n general a tuturor disfunc?iilor. ?n acest scop, autorul propune patru ?discipline“ esen?iale, pe care le explic? ?n detaliu: 1. Construirea unei echipe de conducere bine ?nchegate (ceea ce presupune stabilirea unei rela?ii de ?ncredere, ?ncurajarea conflictelor productive, angajamentul asumat, responsabilizare reciproc? ?i concentrarea pe ob?inerea de rezultate);2. Crearea clarit??ii (toat? lumea trebuie s? fie pe aceea?i lungime de und? privind motivul existen?ei companiei, valorile specifice ale acesteia, strategiile de afaceri etc., ?n vederea atingerii scopurilor comune); 3.

Consolidarea clarit??ii (selectarea personalului pe baza valorilor comportamentale ?i integrarea lor corect? ?n organiza?ie). Ni?te reguli simple, de bun-sim?, pe care to?i liderii ar trebui s? le cunoasc? ?i s? le respecte, pentru ca organiza?ia pe care o conduc s? ating? succesul la care au visat ?ntotdeauna.

Unul dintre primele titluri ale colectiei CEO, Lean In de Sheryl Sandberg,se adreseaza femeilor de afaceri, confruntate adesea cu dilema: o cariera de succes sau o viata personala implinita?Autoarea, al doilea om din conducerea Facebook, aflata in ultimii ani in topul celor mai puternice femei de afaceri si al celor mai influente personalitati si mama a doi copii, ne arata ca este posibil sa impaci reusita profesionala cu implinirea personala, ca trebuie sa depasim stereotipurile de gen, ca femeile trebuie sa aiba mai multa incredere in sine si ambitie pentru a-si obtine locul pe care il merita.Premisa acestei c?r?i o constituie un discurs fulminant TEDTalk, sus?inut de Sandberg ?n 2010, ?n care descria felul ?n care femeile ??i st?vilesc progresul ?n carier? ?n mod involuntar. Cuv?ntarea ei devenit? un real fenomen ?i urm?rit? de mai mult de 2 milioane de ori, ?ncurajeaz? femeile ?s? se a?eze la masa tratativelor“ al?turi de b?rba?i, s? caute ?n permanen?? provoc?ri, s?-?i asume riscuri ?i s?-?i urm?reasc? scopurile cu tenacitate.Astfel, studiile de specialitate au eviden?iat faptul c? de?i s-au scurs treizeci de ani de c?nd 50% din absolven?ii de colegii din Statele Unite ale Americii sunt femei, totu?i b?rba?ii continu? s? de?in? o majoritate cov?r?itoare a pozi?iilor de conducere din guvern ?i industrie. Femeile ?nc? nu-?i fac auzite vocile, iar autoarea ?ncearc? s? g?seasc? un r?spuns la ?ntrebarea De ce progresul femeilor ?n accederea la rolurile de conducere s-a blocat?, explic? cauzele originare ale problemei ?i ofer? solu?ii conving?toare, practice, care le pot conferi femeilor puterea de a-?i etala ?ntregul poten?ial.Sandberg sondeaz? ?n ad?ncime aceste aspecte, pentru a str?punge ambiguit??ile ?i prejudec??ile prezente ?n vie?ile tuturor ?i a le ?ndruma pe femei, pas cu pas, ?n cl?direa unei cariere de succes, descriind etapele specifice pe care trebuie s? le parcurg? acestea ?n scopul concilierii reu?itelor profesionale cu ?mplinirea personal?.Scris? cu umor ?i ?n?elepciune, aceast? carte este un apel inspirat la ac?iune, destinat a schimba polii conversa?iei de la femeile care nu pot face la cele care pot, devenind astfel un strig?t animat c?tre acestea de a pune um?rul la crearea unei lumi mai egale.

What will you find in this book? You’ll find events and stories which strikingly resemble the ones that we see in corporations. You’ll find familiar things that you like and things that will make the corporate officials think meditate. And last but not least you will find each and every one of you. Why should you buy a book that speaks about the things that you live daily? Maybe because the way in which things are narrated will enchant you and will captivate you because it feels like someone has read your mind, because you simply want to enjoy yourself by discovering the corporate environment. It is a book dedicated mainly to corporate members and to the people who work there, that is about us, the corporate members. On an optimistic note and funny way, I hope.

“Music is a fundamental channel of communication: through music people can share emotions, intentions and thoughts even though their spoken languages may be mutually incomprehensible.” (Hargreaves – Miell – McDonald, 2002) It can be a supporting baseline, which helps people and skilled composers to find their way to express their deep and profound emotional life and imagination. In fact, music is present in our lives everywhere playing a greater part than ever before. The rapid technological development made it possible to listen to music every time and everywhere through the commercialization and economic power of music. But how is music connected to country branding and nation image? The answer is quite simple: music can be a source of a wide range of associations. When we listen to a song featuring a country’s original characteristics, the nation itself pops into our mind with all of its typical symbols, inhabitants – briefly the image of a country. The key question in my paper is how music is able to influence the country image. The main objective of this paper is to uncover the linkage between music and country image and to draw a model based on Anholt-hexagon (2003) that can be used by practitioners as well. The paper’s novelty lies in the synthesis of theoretical approaches, which were not applied and connected to each other before according to secondary research. Nevertheless, the topic’s nature requires several examples from practical life as well: international and Hungarian case studies, moreover primary research were applied.

Like icebergs, some stories hold their mysteries submerged beneath the surface. Poet and novelist Mario Milosevic conjures a cornucopia of such tales, presenting 2,002 opening sentences paired with 2,002 closing sentences, bridged by a brief universal middle section that either muddies the waters or makes everything as clear as ice. A mad storyteller’s fever dream, Mostly Invisible doubles Scheherazade’s iconic 1,001 nights and pours forth a kaleidoscopic cavalcade of thrills, romance, mystery, adventure, fantasy, and intrigue. Echoing much of the mystery of life, the bulk of these stories lurk hidden from view, but come alive in the imaginations of readers willing to take a journey to the outer edges of storytelling.

The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: Risk-taking, Gut Feelings and the Biology of Boom
￥73.58
As scandal and the aftershocks of the crash rock the financial world, former Wall Street trader John Coates investigates why our financiers are driven to take risks. Now shortlisted for the 2012 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award and the Wellcome Trust Book Prize, this startling and unconventional book sees neuroscientist and former Wall Street trader John Coates explain something we have long suspected: that we think with our body as well as our brain. And this only intensifies when we take risks; at work, in sport and on the financial markets. Making and losing money provokes an overwhelming biological response, and this can alter the way we behave. Could this bodily turmoil lead to the kind of irrational behaviour that so regularly upsets the global economy? In a series of groundbreaking experiments, Coates has shown that under the pressure of risk our biology transforms us into different people. Traders and investors are especially prone, becoming revved-up and testosterone-driven when on a winning streak, and tentative and risk-averse when cowering from losses. Revealing the biology of bubbles and crashes, The Hour Between Dog and Wolf sheds new and surprising light on issues that affect us all.

Funny Money：In Search of Alternative Cash
￥51.50
Only our limited idea of money is keeping us poor. David Boyle introduces us to alternative cash and people who can conjure money – that is, spending power – out of nothing. Until recently, the growth of alternative cash had been the province of big business: phone cards, stamps, air miles and Tesco’s clubcard points all have purchasing power, yet are not cash as we know it. Now, locally created money systems like ‘time dollars’, ‘Womanshare’ and ‘Ithaca hours’ are being invented by communities for communities. With clarity and great humour, Boyle tells the story of this extraordinary revolution: he travels to the USA to visit the people behind local money systems; relates their vision of the future; and describes how to set up your own currency. This is no dry theoretical tome: Boyle writes about his subject in a way that is concrete, illuminating, often very funny and always highly readable. This paperback edition includes a new epilogue with an update on the latest alternative currency ideas: ‘You just have to cast doubt on the real existence of the money markets and they could just shrivel away. Anything could happen.’ A revolution is underway now: this book tells the story of its leaders and the ideas that inspired them.

The Thank You Economy
￥151.53
If this were 1923, this book would have been called "Why Radio Is Going to Change the Game" . . . If it were 1995, it would be "Why Amazon Is Going to Take Over the Retailing World" . . . The Thank You Economy is about something big, something greater than any single revolutionary platform. It isn't some abstract concept or wacky business strategy it's real, and every one of us is doing business in it every day, whether we choose to recognize it or not. It's the way we communicate, the way we buy and sell, the way businesses and consumers interact online and offline. The Internet, where the Thank You Economy was born, has given consumers back their voice, and the tremendous power of their opinions via social media means that companies and brands have to compete on a whole different level than they used to. Gone are the days when a blizzard of marketing dollars could be used to overwhelm the airwaves, shut out the competition, and grab customer awareness. Now customers' demands for authenticity, originality, creativity, honesty, and good intent have made it necessary for companies and brands to revert to a level of customer service rarely seen since our great-grandparents' day, when business owners often knew their customers personally, and gave them individual attention. Here renowned entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk reveals how companies big and small can scale that kind of personal, one-on-one attention to their entire customer base, no matter how large, using the same social media platforms that carry consumer word of mouth. The Thank You Economy offers compelling, data-driven evidence that we have entered into an entirely new business era, one in which the companies that see the biggest returns won't be the ones that can throw the most money at an advertising campaign, but will be those that can prove they care about their customers more than anyone else. The businesses and brands that harness the word-of-mouth power from social media, those that can shift their culture to be more customer-aware and fan-friendly, will pull away from the pack and profit in today's markets. Filled with Vaynerchuk's irrepressible candor and wit, as well as real-world examples of companies that are profiting by putting Thank You Economy principles into practice, The Thank You Economy reveals how businesses can harness all the changes and challenges inherent in social media and turn them into tremendous opportunities for profit and growth.
