L'ascesa dell'Impero: Volume 1: La Germania si riprenderà attraverso lo spirito tedesco
by Ulrich Richard HambuchIl popolo dei poeti e dei pensatori, che sono stati per due volte vittime di terribili guerre mondiali nella storia recente, è di nuovo in una profonda crisi in questi giorni e si trova a un bivio. Negli ultimi sette anni, in questo contesto sono state prodotte innumerevoli, analiticamente brillanti, ma sobrie, lunghe e per la maggior parte incomprensibili e quindi in ultima analisi solo opere fugaci, in cui gli autori si sono sentiti chiamati a scoprire e denunciare le cose che ci hanno consapevolmente o inconsciamente oppresso negli ultimi decenni. In definitiva, però, tutti gli autori che conoscevo non sono riusciti a delineare un'alternativa olistica e sostenibile allo stato attuale. A questo bisognava porre rimedio. Oggi la considero una coincidenza del destino, che per alcuni anni non mi ha permesso da più parti di portare avanti la mia attività abituale in modo permanente e che mi ha portato, da ora in poi, a dedicarmi in solitudine e imparzialità al tema della ricerca della verità. Come persona che, dopo un po' di tempo di apprendimento, di pensiero, di sentimento e di pausa, è in grado di agire, non ho potuto trovare casa in nessun partito, in nessuna azienda o luogo della Repubblica Federale Tedesca. Così ho deciso senza ulteriori indugi di creare questa casa ideale politica, laica e spirituale per me stesso.

L.L. Bean, Inc.: Item Forecasting and Inventory Management
by Arthur Schleifer Jr.L.L. Bean must make stocking decisions on thousands of items sold through its catalogs. In many cases, orders must be placed with vendors twelve or more weeks before a catalog lands on a customer's doorstep, and commitments cannot be changed thereafter. As a result, L.L. Bean suffers annual losses of over $20 million due to stockouts or liquidations of excess inventory. Provides a context in which buying decisions that balance costs of overstocking and understocking when demand is uncertain are made and implemented on a routine basis.
L.L. Bean: A Search for Growth
by James Weber Rajiv Lal Walter J. SalmonIn mid-2003, CEO Chris McCormick felt L.L. Bean was in a good position to begin to grow again. For nearly 90 years, the company sold clothing and gear for outdoor enthusiasts through its catalogs and a single retail store in Freeport, Maine. In the three decades prior to 1996, sales growth averaged nearly 20% per year. In 1995, sales hit $1 billion, but stagnated for the next six years--growing at less than 2% annually. The company responded with a structural reorganization and investment in its Internet sales channel. In 2002 and early 2003, McCormick led an effort to reduce overhead and improve its internal systems, including the elimination of 1,000 jobs--which reduced year-round headcount by nearly 15%. After these initiatives, the company remained profitable and enjoyed a strong balance sheet, but sales growth remained near zero. Most significantly, between 2000 and 2002, L.L. Bean opened three retail stores in shopping malls outside Maine. McCormick viewed these three stores as the first of a chain of stores that would form a new selling channel and enable L.L. Bean to grow. Early results from the three new stores were below expectations; L.L. Bean spent significant time examining its retail store activities in an attempt to learn where it could improve. As the company began to apply those lessons in the stores, performance picked up, fueling McCormick's optimism that L.L. Bean could grow with retail stores.
LA MOTIVATION DANS LE CADRE PROFESSIONNEL: LE CAS PROCTER ET GAMBLE
by Gabriele NapolitanoLe sujet de la motivation dans le cadre professionnel est un sujet de plus en plus important pour les travailleurs, mais également pour les entreprises elles-mêmes. Cette thèse nait de l'intérêt envers les opérations concrètes qui peuvent mener à une amélioration de la motivation personnelle et non pas envers les diverses théories motivationelles existantes. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai décidé d'analyser le comportement d'une entreprise de pointe dans son secteur, celui des biens de consommation, qui est également l'une des entreprises les plus importantes et influentes au niveau mondial : Procter & Gamble. Nous verrons donc quel type de conséquences résultent de sa politique et de ses initiatives concernant la motivation du personnel, en insistant tout particulièrement sur les concepts de Promote from within et Diversity and Inclusion.
LAE Enterprises Corp.
by Constance E. BagleyJay Entrepreneur had to decide whether it was worth his time to plow through a 12-page term sheet for a Series A round of preferred stock prepared by HBS Investors, a well-established venture capital firm that did seed, early-round, and mezzanine financings. He could also send the sheet over to the solo practitioner he'd hired to incorporate the company he'd formed with his partner, Dr. Mark I. Tech, inventor of a revolutionary new drug-delivery device. Family and friends had already provided $10,000 for lab space and equipment, and Jay and Mark had maxxed out their credit cards to pay the $7,500 retainer patent counsel required. Time was short, however, because Jay had promised to get back to HBS Investors later that week with any comments or concerns. He also had to decide (with or without the advice of counsel) whether to accept the proposal terms.
LBOs for Smaller Companies
by James Mcneill StancillLeveraged buyouts are not just for the big guys. Money is available for buyers of smaller companies who know how to structure a deal. Borrowing against assets like equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable gives the entrepreneur the most freedom and thus remains the most popular LBO technique. If a deal is to succeed, the owner must have a compelling reason to sell.

LEAD: Leadership Effectiveness in Africa and the African Diaspora
by Terri R. Lituchy Bella L. Galperin Betty Jane PunnettThis book considers the new business environment of modern-day Africa, addressing how management styles must adapt to societal changes across the continent. As investment in the continent grows and African businesses begin to look beyond their own borders, there comes a real need to understand leadership from an Afro-centric perspective. This book explores the similarities and differences across African countries, compares them with other regions, and identifies particular cultural realities that managers must consider in order to be successful in the new business environment of modern Africa. Building on their Leadership Effectiveness in Africa and the African Diaspora (LEAD) research project, the authors provide an empirical understanding of African leadership styles and how businesses can harness these more effectively. Drawing on the African Diaspora's values, beliefs, and preferences, as well as anecdotal material from African academics and managers, this book grants a realistic view of leadership in various African countries including Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and South Africa. It will be invaluable to academics, students, and anyone interested in African and global business leadership from a non-Western perspective.
