Educational Entrepreneurship Today (Educational Innovations Series)
by Frederick M. Hess Michael Q. McShaneIn this book, Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q. McShane assemble a diverse lineup of high-profile contributors to examine the contexts in which new initiatives in education are taking shape. They inquire into the impact of entrepreneurship on the larger field―including the development and deployment of new technologies―and analyze the incentives, barriers, opportunities, and tensions that support or constrain innovation. The book offers critical perspectives on the impact of entrepreneurship and also includes lessons from leading entrepreneurs, in which they use case studies drawn from their own experience to illustrate the realities of leading disruptive change in education and pose guiding questions for the next generation of innovators. In a time of increasing polarization around education policy, this timely, frank, and insightful volume shows how we can begin to create systems in which entrepreneurial ideas and fresh thinking are welcomed, constructively employed, and held accountable for the public good.
Educational Entrepreneurship: Realities, Challenges, Possibilities
by Frederick M. HessThis lively and provocative book introduces this burgeoning field for readers concerned with K-12 education in the United States--and with efforts to reform and improve it. Entrepreneurship has emerged in recent years as an unprecedented and influential force in U.S. K-12 education. Yet the topic has received surprisingly little serious or systematic attention. Educational Entrepreneurship aims to fill this gap. This timely volume addresses a number of central questions: What is educational entrepreneurship and what does it look like? Who are the educational entrepreneurs and what motivates them? What tools do entrepreneurs need to be successful? What policies or practices enable or impede entrepreneurship? What would it mean to open up the education sector to more entrepreneurial activity? An interesting and admirable range of contributors offers clusters of articles on the nature of educational entrepreneurship; the political, policy, and legal contexts that face educational entrepreneurs; various models of entrepreneurial activity; the role of for-profit organizations in K-12 education; and possible future directions for educational entrepreneurs.
Educational Inequality and School Finance: Why Money Matters for America's Students
by Bruce D. BakerIn Educational Inequality and School Finance, Bruce D. Baker offers a comprehensive examination of how US public schools receive and spend money. Drawing on extensive longitudinal data and numerous studies of states and districts, he provides a vivid and dismaying portrait of the stagnation of state investment in public education and the continuing challenges of achieving equity and adequacy in school funding. Baker explores school finance, the school and classroom resources derived from school funding, and how and why those resources matter. He provides a critical examination of popular assumptions that undergird the policy discourse around school funding—notably, that money doesn&’t matter and that we are spending more and getting less—and shows how these misunderstandings contribute to our reluctance to increase investment in education at a time when the demands on our educational system are rising. Through an introduction to the concepts of adequacy, equity, productivity, and efficiency, Baker shows how these can be used to evaluate policy reforms. He argues that we know a great deal about the role and importance of money in schools, the mechanisms through which money matters for student outcomes, and the trade-offs involved, and he presents a framework for designing and financing an equitable and adequate public education system, with balanced and stable sources of revenue. Educational Inequality and School Finance takes an issue all too often relegated to technical experts and makes it accessible for broader public empowerment and engagement.

Educational and Cultural Challenges of the European Sustainability Model: Breaking Down Silos in the Legal Domain

The author offers a fresh analysis of both theory and praxis of sustainable development in the open-ended process of EU integration by shedding new light on the often-overlooked role that law and legal science should have within the educational and cultural domains. The monograph explores the necessity of new conceptual and methodological approaches in order to understand the emerging educational and cultural challenges when it comes to their integration and intersection with sustainability in today’s society, which desperately claims systemic transformations.

Edward A. Tenenbaum and the Deutschmark: How an American Jew Became the Father of Germany’s Postwar Economic Revival (Studies in New Economic Thinking)
by Carl-Ludwig HoltfrerichGerman industry had survived Allied bombing largely unscathed. Currency reform was necessary to provide incentives for capital owners and labor to produce. The abundance of old Reichsmarks had to be curtailed to a scarce supply of Deutschmarks that users would expect to retain value. It was Edward A. Tenenbaum, currency expert of US military government in Berlin since 1946, who managed the exceptionally successful currency reform in West Germany 1948, which was implemented by the legislative powers of the three Western Allies against opposition from West German financial experts. It was the foundation of West Germany's 'economic miracle.' The West German currency conversion is part of the founding myth of the Federal Republic of Germany. Yet Tenenbaum's pivotal role is largely unknown among the German public. Besides providing a full-blown biography of the true father of the currency reform, this book elevates Tenenbaum to his proper place in German history.

Edward Jones in 2006: Confronting Success
by David J. Collis Troy SmithWhen Jim Weddle took over as Managing Partner of Edward Jones in January 2006, the brokerage firm was at a critical juncture. The firm's distinctive strategy had enabled it to grow from its roots in small-town America to become the 4th largest broker in the U.S. Weddle was concerned, however, that the firm's success, and the changing landscape of the financial services industry, were challenging the core aspects of the strategy that had brought the firm so far. He knew that the impending strategic decisions would determine whether Edward Jones could sustain its extraordinary performance and achieve its goal of growing to 20,000 financial advisors by 2017.

Edward Lewis: Essence Magazine
by Jacqueline Adams Steven S. RogersEssence, the first magazine aimed at African-American women, was created by four, young, Black entrepreneurs in the aftermath of massive racial and political upheaval in the United States in 1968.

By 2005, the company was sold to Time Warner, Inc, the largest magazine publisher in the world at that time, for the highest price ever paid for a single-title magazine company. However, there is still debate about whether the last remaining co-founder, Edward Lewis, jeopardized the iconic Black brand by selling it to a white-owned company.

Edwin Land: The Art and Science of Innovation
by Matthew Preble Tom Nicholas Christopher StantonThroughout the second half of the 20th century, Polaroid first invented-and then continuously reinvented-the field of instant photography. Under the leadership of its mercurial founder Edwin Land, the company regularly released new instant cameras and films, often without any market research. Land created a culture of innovation and exploration within Polaroid that became conducive to the development of new customer value propositions. However, this proved difficult to sustain over the long run, and the business ultimately went into bankruptcy in 2001. How did Polaroid rise to a position of such preeminence, and was its downfall inevitable?

Edyficar and Mibanco: The Emergence of M&A in Microfinance
by Michael ChuMibanco, a microfinance icon, is for sale and Edyficar, owned by BCP, Peru's largest bank, is evaluating its acquisition.

Eenvoudig beleggen Warren Buffet-strategieën voor het opbouwen van welvaart en passief inkomen
by Adidas WilsonIedereen wil financiële vrijheid. Velen proberen het te vinden door te doen waar ze hartstochtelijk over zijn. Er zijn mensen die het hebben gevonden door de ladder op te klimmen in het bedrijf waar ze werken, terwijl anderen een bedrijf zijn begonnen. In de afgelopen periode van vijf jaar zijn er meer miljonairs verschenen dan in een andere periode. Online bronnen en internet in het algemeen zijn verantwoordelijk voor veel van dat succes. De meeste van deze mensen zijn cool genoeg om over hun succes te schrijven en bieden wat advies en inzicht over succes en wat ze moeten doen om dit te bereiken. Een ding dat in de meeste boeken is genoemd, zijn de 'geheimen van financiële vrijheid'. Dus, wat zijn deze geheimen? Hoeveel geld je ook verdient, als je geen idee hebt hoe je het moet aanpakken, zul je nooit financiële vrijheid krijgen - je komt niet eens in de buurt. Je moet leren om te gaan met wat je maakt en een cultuur van sparen cultiveren. Uw geld zou voor u moeten werken. Als je oncontroleerbare bestedingspatronen hebt, zul je uiteindelijk zelfs slechter doen dan mensen die minder ruimte maken dan jij. De eerste stap naar financiële vrijheid is sparen. Analyseer uw bestedingspatroon. Beheers uw bestedingspatroon en begin met budgetteren en sparen. Lees vervolgens meer over het beleggen van uw spaargeld. Dit is een van de meest cruciale beslissingen van je leven. Neem je tijd en onderzoek groeimarkten. Als je tevreden bent met wat je doet, kom je dichter in de buurt van de financiële vrijheid waar je naar verlangt. Je kunt veel geld verdienen, maar een ellendig leven leiden omdat je niet van je werk geniet. Als je je passie volgt, vallen alle andere dingen op hun plaats. De beste manier om een carrière te kiezen waar je van houdt is door er een te worden die je sterke punten benut. U zult een belangrijke aanwinst zijn voor het bedrijf of uw bedrijf. Een persoon met duidelijk omschreven doelen is "als een schip met een kompas", in een specifieke richtin
