Exercising Agency: Decision Making and Project Initiation
by Mark MullalyExercising Agency is a book about decision making. In particular, it looks in detail at how a very important type of organizational decision gets made: whether or not to initiate a project. Making strategic decisions of this kind can never be a wholly rational and scientific process. And Exercising Agency lifts the lid on many of the important behavioural factors that inform project decisions: power and politics, personality, the ’rules’ of an organization. Mark Mullaly draws on his research to provide practical guidance for decision makers; project shapers, approving executives and those responsible for how initiation decisions are made. By explaining the influence, value and risks associated with the elements that inform the way we make strategic decisions he will help you identify how individuals and organizations can best support the process to ensure project initiation decisions are effective and most closely underpin the priorities of the organization. If you are involved in framing or making decisions about the future of your organization; the projects that you do or don’t decide to initiate, then read this book. It won’t make the decisions any easier but it will help you improve the quality of the decisions you make and over time, the effectiveness of your organizational decision making.
Exercising Authority: The Interpersonal Challenges Facing New Managers
by Linda A. HillManaging people is a delicate art. When star performers are promoted to management roles, few are prepared for the interpersonal challenges of the job. Effectively exercising their newly-acquired authority means learning how to establish credibility, build commitment among subordinates, and lead the group. Author Linda A. Hill followed nineteen new managers through their first year, gathering data about the managerial transition. This chapter joins them as they describe in their own words the challenges of exercising power and influence over their subordinates.

Exercising Influence
by Linda A. HillProvides a framework for understanding the exercise of interpersonal influence in organizations. Describes some of the "myths and realities" of management that new managers discover--specifically, that managers are dependent on a complex network of relationships to get work done, and that they must influence others by relying on sources of power other than their formal positional authority.

Exercising Influence Without Formal Authority: How New Managers Can Build Power and Influence
by Linda A. HillWhen they become managers, most people assume that certain rights and privileges come with a promotion. They expect to have more authority and freedom than they did as individual contributors. But new managers soon learn that formal authority is a very limited source of power. In fact, most of the people who can make a manager's life miserable are people over whom they have no formal authority: bosses and peers. They must acquire the ability to manage interdependencies effectively, building mutual expectations, trust, and influence with a diverse group of people. In this chapter, author Linda A. Hill focuses on the work involved in gaining an understanding of the political dynamics of an organization and building the power and influence--and cultivating the key one-on-one relationships--necessary to navigate them. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 10 of "Becoming a Manager: How New Managers Master the Challenges of Leadership."

Exergy
by Masanori ShukuyaMany people, professionals and non-professionals alike, recognize that it is of critical importance to solve global energy and environmental issues. For this purpose, it is essential to have a scientific understanding of what is meant by the "energy" issue is and the "environmental" issue. The concept of "exergy" is a scientific concept that exactly fits. The concept of 'energy' is a scientifically-well established concept, namely 'to be conserved'. Then the question is what is really consumed. Exergy: Theory and Applications in the Built Environment is dedicated to answer this fundamental question by discussing the theory of "exergy" and by demonstrating its use extensively to describe a variety of systems in particular for built-environmental conditioning. Our immediate environmental space works within the flow of energy and matter in an "exergy-entropy" process, and the built environment can be designed with these energy & environmental issues in mind. Exergy: Theory and Applications in the Built Environment introduces readers who are not familiar with thermodynamics to the concept of exergy with a variety of discussion on the built-environmental space such as heating, cooling, lighting, and others. Readers, including students, researchers, planners, architects and engineers, will obtain a better picture of a sustainable built-environment.

Exhibitions, Trade Fairs and Industrial Events (Routledge Advances in Event Research Series)
by Warwick Frost Jennifer LaingThis book is the first to take an in-depth examination of the breadth and scope of exhibitions, trade fairs and other industrial events as a marketing tool or channel. Industrial Events are planned events that are staged with the primary aim of marketing businesses, industries and products. This may lead to direct sales through these events, as well as the development of brand image or building brand awareness; penetration of new markets; trials of new products and knowledge diffusion. These business goals might be future-focused, with meetings of strategic players from across an industry or sector contributing to the shaping of future innovations and development. Industrial events act as a marketplace, but rather than seeing them as temporary or isolated activities, they can be understood as cyclical clusters. This is a multidisciplinary book written by an international group of leading academics, offering a wide range of case studies that feature countries such as the United Kingdom, United States of America, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand. It will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of cultural studies, history, tourism, sociology, economics and management

Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career
by Kristi CoulterA candid, intensely funny memoir of ambition, gender, and a grueling decade inside Amazon.com, from the author of Nothing Good Can Come from This.“A unique and brilliant book.” —Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand WeeksWhat would you sacrifice for your career? All your free time? Your sense of self-worth? Your sanity?In 2006, Kristi Coulter left her cozy but dull job for a promising new position at the fast-growing Amazon.com, but she never expected the soul-crushing pressure that would come with it.In no time she found the challenge and excitement she’d been craving—along with seven-day workweeks, lifeboat exercises, widespread burnout, and a culture driven largely by fear. But the chase, the visibility, and, let’s face it, the stock options proved intoxicating, and so, for twelve years, she stayed—until she no longer recognized the face in the mirror or the mission she’d signed up for.Unsparing, absurd, and wickedly funny, Exit Interview is a rare journey inside the crucible that is Amazon. It is an intimate, surprisingly relatable look at the work life of a driven woman in a world that loves the idea of female ambition but balks at the reality.
Exit Stage Left: The curious afterlife of pop stars
by Nick Duerden'Exit Stage Left is the book I've long wanted to read about the PTSD-like after-effects of pop stardom - and Nick Duerden is the perfect writer for the job. The pop star's bittersweet lot - the mass adoration that comes with pop stardom, followed by the bathetic comedown of what inevitably follows - is represented with flair and empathy.' - Pete Paphides, author of Broken Greek 'Fame is the brightest candle, but in this brilliant collection of interviews, Nick Duerden answers the question: what does a candle do after it's burned out?' - David QuantickFor fans of music books from David Hepworth, Pete Paphides, Bob Stanley and Craig Brown, as well as thought-provoking human interest stories like Moondust by Andrew Smith, and books by Jon Ronson, Louis Theroux and Stuart Maconie.A quirky, thought-provoking look at the curious afterlife of pop stars.Nick Duerden has spent many years interviewing the most famous musicians on the planet. Without exception, they are at their most interesting when they've peaked, and when they are on their way down. In many ways, this is when these former idols are at their most heroic, too, because they reveal themselves not only to be humane and sensitive, but also still driven to create, to fulfil their lingering dreams, to refuse to live quietly. Some sustain themselves on the nostalgia circuit. Others continue to beaver away in the studio, no longer Abbey Road so much as the garden shed. The desire for adulation is a light that never goes out. We live in a culture obsessed by the notion of fame - the heedless pursuit of it, the almost obligatory subsequent fallout. But what's it like to actually achieve it, and what's it like when fame abruptly passes, and shifts, as it does, onto someone else?These are tales of heroin addiction, bankruptcy, depression, divorce - but also of optimism, a genuine love of the craft, humility and hope. All of which makes EXIT STAGE LEFT a fascinating, laugh-out-loud funny and often shocking look at what happens when the brightest of stars fall down to earth.Featuring brand new interviews with the likes of: Bob Geldof, Shaun Ryder, Robbie Williams, Roisin Murphy, Stewart Copeland, Billy Bragg, Wendy James, Alex Kapranos, Joan Armatrading, Leo Sayer, Gary Lightbody, Lisa Maffia, Tim Booth, Bill Drummond, Rufus Wainwright, David Gray, and Justin Hawkins.(P) 2022 Headline Publishing Group Ltd
Exit Strategies Policy Options for Countries Seeking Greater Exchange Rate Flexibility
by Barry Eichengreen Paul Masson Esteban Jadresic Hugh Bredenkamp Barry Johnston Javier HamannIn a world of increasing capital mobility and broadening and more diversified trade, many (but not all) developing and transition economies are likely to find it desirable to move from relatively fixed exchange rate regimes to regimes of greater exchange rate flexibility. This paper suggests why, and considers strategies that countries may consider for such a move. It reinforces this discussion with a review of experience from teh past two decades with alternative exchange rate regimes. the paper also identifies policies that can facilitate the transition to greater exchange rate flexibility for countries that wish to pursue this option.
