Business Legislation By C. RamagopalaPublisher: New Age Publications (Academic) 2008-12-01 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 8122422322 | PDF | 1.5 MBTeaching law to management students, rather than students of law, is a challenge. This would, indeed, be a bigger challenge when the students do not have any rudimentary knowledge about law.Now, majority of students who join MBA are from non-commerce background so they would not have had any opportunity to study even the fundamentals of law. The problem is where to start. I have the answer. The UGC syllabus of “Business Legislation” has been taken as the basis for writing this book. The compelling force behind me to take up this task is my students. They have approached me to make a tailor-made book available to them to meet the needs of UGC syllabus as no book is available to cater their total needs, all at one place. This book crisply covers the syllabus and even the chapters are dealt in the same order of the UGC syllabus of MBA. In this process, many university students’ requirements are covered, to a large extent, as a greater number of institutions have, involuntarily, chosen same topics in their syllabus too.The second aspect is the treatment of explanation. Many consider law is complicated and nothing is said, directly. I intend to give a different treatment for the subject. I have chosen the straight way to explain in an easy and direct method. Language is not to stand as a barrier as many Hindi medium students have been joining MBA, of late. They want the subject to be dealt in an easy way to understand, with practical and professional approach, but not in a legal way. This book is meant for managers of tomorrow. They require understanding of law for managing the business and not to practise as lawyers. Legal concepts are explained in a layman’s language.The best compliment I have enjoyed on my earlier book “Export-Import Procedures, Documentation and Logistics” is from Hindi medium students, pursuing MBA. They have complimented “No difficult words are in the book, which we have not understood”. I thank them for making the book to go for reprint, within six months of its first appearance. This book has been accepted as a recommended reading book at IIM, Indore too.During my interaction and long observation, majority of students and, in particular, working executives, busy with their employment start preparing, a couple of weeks before the commencement of examinations. To facilitate them for quick and easy understanding, Descriptive Questions provide the necessary clues (reference to paragraphs, broadly) for finding answers, quickly, and also serving as a ready suggested answer book.I have my family members Sandhya-wife, Radhi, Kalyan, Dheera and Kish, and my lovely little American grandsons –Theer and Tarkh– not preventing me to write, who have extended their support in one way or other to steer the book to a happy ending.CA.

Corporate Restructuring Through Disinvestment (An Indian Perspective)by Harjit SinghPublisher: New Age International 2007 | EAN: 9788122421620 | 161 Pages | PDF | 1.1 MBBusiness combinations, corporate restructuring, financial reengineering, corporate reorganizations are the terms used for restructuring the corporate sector. In India, corporate restructuring by way of disinvestment of public sector enterprises has become a fashionable concept in recent years. It started from the middle of seventies with the disappointment of public sector, but the voices of protest were very weak and periodic. But the continuous failure of public sector to fulfill the role assigned to it intensified the voices of protest. The opening of certain sectors earlier reserved for the public sector was undertaken in the beginning of eighties but the government was to some extent hesitant to make a clear statement. Then ultimately in the year 1991, under the stewardship of Dr. Manmohan Singh, then finance minister, the process of corporate restructuring through disinvestment was actually started and got momentum.The game is old but the rules are new and still developing. This book is an attempt to cover this much talked but less understood issue in the Indian perspective and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know the nuts and bolts of corporate restructuring through disinvestment, its present status and is interested in knowing how it is gaining worldwide acceptance. In addition, the book proposes a theoretical framework for understanding how restructuring has become a potent tool for strategy decision-making for an organization. This book has focused on the vital areas like why government took decision to disinvest public sector which once was expected to be the engine of growth, public sector in India, disinvestment drive in India, its past, present and future.About the Author(s):Dr. Harjit Singh , MFC (Gold Medalist), MBA (Dual), M.Phil.

He delivers an understandable roadmap that demystifies the confusion about Social Security benefits, and clarifies the choices for anyone considering when and how to retire.Are you thinking about getting the early Social Security check?

Silbiger guides readers through the key variables that affect the decision to elect early Social Security retirement benefits:What are your early benefits and penalties?How's your health?Are you married?Are you planning on working while retired?What are your cash needs during retirement?By getting a grip on how to manage our investments, cash flow, and real estate, Silbiger shows how we can put thousands of dollars more into our pockets every year. He addresses vital questions about money and retirement that include:Tapping your nest egg for retirement—how to make ends meet?Which retirement investments are for you?Are you prepared to fend off scam artists?Through it all, you'll meet everyday people who have faced the early retirement question and learned how to make the smart choices.

Michael Levine, "A Tale of Two Systems: Lean and Agile Software Development for Business Leaders"Productivity Press | 2009 | ISBN: 1439803897 | 344 pages | PDF | 2,7 MBThis business parable reviews two different systems development projects. One project was an abject, expensive failure, while the other succeeded in creating a major new revenue stream, bringing in new customers. By reviewing the tales of these two systems, readers will develop a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to the leadership and action steps required to reinvent a company’s procedures to get in step with the times.CEO Evan Nogelmeyer discovers to his dismay that in today’s business world, technology is not just for technologists. But does he discover this soon enough and once he does, does he have the tools and the business savvy he needs to stave off disaster? Evan and his team are all well-intentioned, successful business leaders with advanced degrees and backgrounds in marketing and business. But, without technical backgrounds, do they have what it takes to manage the technology overhaul so critical to the very survival of their company and the future of their own careers?A Tale of Two Systems: Lean and Agile Software Development for Business Leaders reviews two fictional systems development projects: Cremins United and Troubled Real Estate Information Management, both launched at the imaginary Cremins Corporation. Cremins is a venerable printing company that must transform itself to survive in the Internet age. One project proves to be an abject and expensive failure, while the other succeeds in creating a major new revenue stream and solving important customer needs. Contrasting the methods employed in a traditional, process-centric 'waterfall' approach, with a lean and agile-inspired approach, this book provides business leaders with a tangible understanding of why lean thinking is so well-suited to contemporary environments requiring flexibility, speed, and the input of specialized knowledge.depositfiles.commirrorNot all books on AvaxHome appear on the homepage.In order not to miss many of them follow ebooks section (see top of each page on AH)and visittoo :)NO MIRRORS according tothe rules
