Principles of Corporate Finance or The New Strategic Selling

Principles of Corporate Finance

Author: Richard A Brealey

Principles of Corporate Finance is the worldwide leading text that describes the theory and practice of corporate finance. Throughout the book the authors show how managers use financial theory to solve practical problems and as a way of learning how to respond to change by showing not just how but why companies and management act as they do. The text is comprehensive, authoritative, and modern and yet the material is presented at a common sense level. The discussions and illustrations are unique due to the depth of detail blended with a distinct sense of humor for which the book is well known and highly regarded. This text is a valued reference for thousands of practicing financial managers. Richard A. Brealey and Stewart C. Myers welcome Franklin Allen as a new coauthor to this Eighth Edition. Sometimes the addition of a new coauthor means that one of the existing authors proposes to take a back seat. That is not the case with this team. Dr. Allen’s addition represents a genuine increase in capacity and brings fresh expertise and ideas to an already tremendously successful textbook and partnership.

Its Your Ship or 8th Habit Personal Workbook

It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy

Author: D Michael Abrashoff

"The most important thing a captain can do is to see the ship from the eyes of the crew." This belief has successfully guided D. Michael Abrashoff, the captain of one of the U. S. Navy's most modern and lethal warships. Abrashoff has revolutionized how to handle such challenging problems as excessive costs, low morale, sexual harassment, and constant turn-over. Business managers will benefit from Abrashoff's guiding belief that focus should be on empowering your people rather than on chain of command. By shifting organizing principles from obedience to performance, managers will be rewarded with remarkable productivity. As Abrashoff explains, the more people enjoy the process, the better the results. Good leaders listen to the people under their command-and use their ideas to improve operating procedures.

Before leaving the U.S. Navy to become the CEO of Grassroots Leadership Inc., Captain Abrashoff commanded the USS Benfold, a ship armed with the latest technology available. To create a crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers, he used the slogan "It's your ship" to motivate them to take responsibility for their actions and improve their performance. In It's Your Ship, Abrashoff describes how he used proactive communication and sailor input to make the USS Benfold a model of naval efficiency and a key player in the U.S. Persian Gulf fleet.
