Руководители редко разграничивают ежедневную срочную работу («вихрь неотложных дел») и стратегические цели, поскольку и то и другое жизненно необходимо для нормальной деятельности компании. Однако эти понятия кардинально различаются и, что гораздо важнее, соперничают за время, ресурсы, энергию и внимание. Если руководитель и его команда будут работать только в авральном режиме, прогресса достичь не удастся – все силы уйдут на то, чтобы удержаться на плаву. Авторы предлагают проверенный набор практик, которые были опробованы сотнями организаций и тысячами команд. Суть «четырех дисциплин исполнения» довольно проста, однако они кардинально изменят ваш подход к реализации целей и позволят применять на практике испытанные приемы, раз за разом доказывающие свою эффективность.

Итальянец по рождению, чикагский экономист Луиджи Зингалес воочию наблюдал последствия высокой инфляции и безработицы – в сочетании с кричащим непотизмом и семейственностью – в экономике своей страны. Этот опыт оказал глубокое влияние на его профессиональные интересы, и в 1988 году он прибыл в США, вооруженный политической страстью и верой в то, что экономисты должны не просто объяснять мир, но и менять его к лучшему. В «Капитализме для народа» Зингалес показывает, что корни американского капитализма подверглись процессу разложения, а результатом этого становится переход к более коррумпированной системе, встречающейся в Европе и большинстве стран мира. Американский капитализм, согласно Зингалесу, вырос в уникальном инкубаторе, где меритократическая природа конкуренции способствовала возникновению веры в рынки и мобильность. Но позднее эта вера была подорвана предательством ориентированных на бизнес элит, лоббистская деятельность которых стала определять работу рынка, и это предательство произошло с молчал…

Вышедшая в свет 1 апреля 2014 г. книга Flash Boys произвела фурор в финансовом мире Америки. В первую же неделю было продано 130 000 экземпляров, а ФБР объявило о начале расследования в отношении высокочастотного трейдинга (HFT). Это лишь подтверждает, что автор книги, американский писатель и финансовый журналист Майкл Льюис, попал в самую больную точку современного фондового рынка, который считается иконой глобального капитализма, а на деле представляет собой аферу, затеянную фондовыми биржами, крупными банками и высокочастотными трейдерами. Разоблачила же эту аферу небольшая группа «парней с Уоллстрит». Работая на разные компании, они отказались от высокооплачиваемых должностей, нашли друг в друге союзников и, сплотившись, вышли на тропу войны против финансовых воротил. Венцом их борьбы стало учреждение независимой биржи, справедливо устроенной по отношению ко всем участникам рынка. Книга будет интересна всем, кто причастен к биржевой торговле и кого интересуют ее тайные механизмы.

In Coherent Stress Testing: A Bayesian Approach, industry expert Riccardo Rebonato presents a groundbreaking new approach to this important but often undervalued part of the risk management toolkit. Based on the author's extensive work, research and presentations in the area, the book fills a gap in quantitative risk management by introducing a new and very intuitively appealing approach to stress testing based on expert judgement and Bayesian networks.

Этот текст – сокращенная версия книги Барбары Минто «Принцип пирамиды Минто». Только самые ценные мысли, идеи, кейсы, примеры. О книге Принцип пирамиды Минто первоначально был стандартом составления документов, который разработала консультант компании McKinsey & Company Барбара Минто. Поэтому он и назван ее именем.

Under IFRS, U.S. GAAP, and the SEC rules and regulations, business enterprises must recognise measure and disclose information regarding equity items on the face of the statement of financial position, other specific statements, or in the notes to the financial statements. However, under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP there is no all-inclusive general standard on stockholders’ equity. This book clarifies the process of reporting stockholders’ equity in a manner which can be reconciled under all the relevant standards. “Not only has the author addressed the informational needs of the players in the accounting industry, he has also drawn, based on his vast experience, practical implications of reporting under both standards.” —Noraini Mohd Nasir, Journal of Financial Reporting and Accounting

A new approach to investing based on how Wall Street insiders approach the market The Indomitable Investor deconstructs the stock market as the public has come to know it and reconstitutes it from the inside out from the perspective of the fortunate few who dominate Wall Street. By revealing how top investors and traders think and act Steven Sears shows the stock market to be an undulating ocean of money, with seasoned investors reading the waves others cannot. Teaching readers to think about the market in radically different ways, The Indomitable Investor shows how to improve returns—and, just as importantly, avoid losses—with disciplines deployed by people who almost always do exactly the opposite of what Wall Street says to do. Laying bare great fallacies, the book explains that non-professional investors wrongly think the stock market is a place to make money, which is what Wall Street wants them to try to do. The Indomitable Investor says otherwise and shows how Wall Street's best investors have a co…
