Mitos y mentadas de la economía mexicana: Por qué crece poco un país hecho a la medida del paladar norteamericano
by Jacques RogozinskiMéxico: mitos y mentadas pone la mesa de las verdades a medias que construyen el discurso del desarrollo y el crecimiento económico del México contemporáneo, un país lleno de excusas, mitos, leyendas urbanas y ficciones ideológicas. En este libro, Jacques Rogozinski establece un sorprendente símil entre la cocina y la economía con el objeto de presentar un análisis riguroso de la situación económica actual de México y de cómo el país podría incentivar su crecimiento si tan sólo se decidiera a hacerlo. Las potencias económicas pretendieron utilizar "recetas" para garantizar desarrollo y crecimiento económico a largo plazo para los países en vías de desarrollo. Sin embargo, pasaron por alto que los problemas que impiden el crecimiento de las diversas naciones no son idénticos, por lo que la aplicación de una solución estándar resulta poco efectiva. ¿El bajo crecimiento del país es producto de no seguir al pie de la letra las recetas de los grandes gurúes globales? Desde luego que no, y este libro nos explica por qué. México: mitos y mentadas revisa las verdades a medias que se han construido a partir del seguimiento de esos modelos económicos, así como de las problemáticas enraizadas en nuestra sociedad que, sin duda, también impiden su avance.

Mittal's Pursuit of Arcelor (A)
by Paul M. Healy Penelope RossanoLakshmi Mittal, CEO of Mittal Steel, a UK-based company with Indian roots, took advantage of a weakened Arcelor that had successfully won a bidding war for Canadian steel company Dofasco, with an unsolicited bid to buy the company. Mittal's plans for acquiring Arcelor were initially thwarted by concerted opposition from Arcelor's board and several European governments. To Mittal's further surprise, on May 26, Arcelor orchestrated a merger with the Russian steelmaker Severstal. Although the proposed merger did not offer Arcelor shareholders as much value as Mittal's deal, Arcelor had structured the deal in such a way that it did not require shareholders' approval. Mittal wondered how he should respond to the Severstal deal. Did it make sense to continue pursuing Arcelor or should he look for other ways to expand his steel empire?
Mittelbare Verhaltenssteuerung – Konzept, Wirkungen, Kritik: Perspektiven der Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften
by Michael W. MüllerJenseits der imperativen Steuerung durch Ge- und Verbot bedient sich der moderne Staat schon lange verschiedenster Formen einer mittelbaren Einflussnahme auf Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft: er steuert durch die Nutzung seiner Finanz- und Informationsmacht ebenso wie durch die Zuweisung von Risikosphären und Haftungsfolgen. Nach der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts darf er dies und genießt bei der Formenwahl regelmäßig große Gestaltungsfreiheit. Neuere Entscheidungen nehmen den Gesetzgeber jedoch verstärkt in die Pflicht, sich der tatsächlichen Wirkungen seiner Steuerungsbemühungen zu vergewissern: Gesetze können das verfassungsrechtliche Untermaßverbot verletzen, wenn Schutzaufträge nicht ausreichend verwirklicht werden. Sie können aber auch gegen das Übermaßverbot verstoßen, wenn sie zu Belastungen führen, denen keine hinreichenden Steuerungswirkungen gegenüberstehen. Durch diese Rechtsprechung erhält die seit langem in Rechts- und Sozialwissenschaften geführte Debatte über die staatlichen Steuerungsmöglichkeiten zunehmende praktische Relevanz: Der Gesetzgeber muss sich des Sachverstandes verschiedener Steuerungswissenschaften bedienen und nach Möglichkeiten suchen, intendierte und tatsächliche Wirkungen seiner Steuerungsbemühungen plausibel zu beschreiben und zu analysieren. Ausgehend von aktuellen Problemstellungen führt der Band Perspektiven der Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften auf diese Fragen zusammen..

Mixed Methods Research Design for the Built Environment
by Bankole Osita Awuzie Charles Egbu Julius AkotiaThe application of mixed methods research design in the built environment discipline by students and academics has continued to grow exponentially. However, with no dedicated mixed methods research design textbook in this domain, students have struggled to conduct research projects involving a mixed methods research design. Mixed Methods Research Design for the Built Environment provides a useful research methodololgy resource for students, academics, and researchers across various disciplines in the built environment such as construction management and project management, property and real estate management, quantity surveying and commercial management, building surveying, building services engineering, civil and geodetic engineering, and other built environment disciplines. The book can also be useful for students and academics outside the built environment knowledge domain. This textbook offers practical and step-by-step guidance on how to apply mixed methods research design, including an elucidation of the various philosophical and methodological underpinnings upon which the choice of a particular variant of the mixed methods research design is predicated. It provides practical case examples and guidance on the processes involved to design and undertake mixed methods research, the advantages and disadvantages of using mixed methods research, and how multiple sources of qualitative and quantitative data can be combined and applied to carry out research projects.
Mixed Methods and Cross Disciplinary Research: Towards Cultivating Eco-systemic Living (Contemporary Systems Thinking)
by Norma R. A. Romm Janet McIntyre-MillsThis book uses mixed methods to extend the concept of “wellbeing stocks” to refer to dynamic ways of working with others. It addresses metaphors and praxis for weaving together strands of experience. The aim of the wellbeing stocks concept is to enable people to re-evaluate economics and to become more aware of the way in which we neglect social and environmental aspects of life. The pursuit of profit at the expense of people and the environment is a central problem for democracy and governance. The vulnerability of cities is a symptom of the lack of balance between individual and collective needs. This book explores the potential for cities, specifically in the regions of Indonesia, Africa, and Australia, to become more productive as sites for food and water security through more creative use of technology. It highlights the need for partners that see food and security feasible at the household level if supports are provided at the community, national and international level. The book examines how these regions are affected by demographics, climate change and people movements, but also explores ways to establish an effective cultural ecosystem management.
Mixed Signals: How Incentives Really Work
by Uri GneezyAn informative and entertaining account of how actions send signals that shape behaviors and how to design better incentives for better results in our life, our work, and our world Incentives send powerful signals that aim to influence behavior. But often there is a conflict between what we say and what we do in response to these incentives. The result: mixed signals. Consider the CEO who urges teamwork but designs incentives for individual success, who invites innovation but punishes failure, who emphasizes quality but pays for quantity. Employing real-world scenarios just like this to illustrate this everyday phenomenon, behavioral economist Uri Gneezy explains why incentives often fail and demonstrates how the right incentives can change behavior by aligning with signals for better results. Drawing on behavioral economics, game theory, psychology, and fieldwork, Gneezy outlines how to be incentive smart, designing rewards that are simple and effective. He highlights how the right combination of economic and psychological incentives can encourage people to drive more fuel-efficient cars, be more innovative at work, and even get to the gym. &“Incentives send a signal,&” Gneezy writes, &“and your objective is to make sure this signal is aligned with your goals.&”

Mob Rules
by Louis FerranteThe average Mafia don knows more about effective leadership than a trunkful of Fortune 500 CEOs. For all the mob's well-deserved reputation for violence and immorality, its most successful members have always been remarkably astute businessmen. Former mobster Louis Ferrante reveals their surprisingly effective management techniques and explains how to apply them in any legitimate business. As an associate of the Gambino Family, Ferrante pulled off some of the biggest heists in U. S. history before the age of twenty-one, netting millions of dollars. His natural talent for management led bosses like John Gotti to rely on him. Now he offers time-tested Mafia wisdom, such as: * Three can keep a secret (if two are dead): Build trust with your colleagues. * You don't always need a gun to hit a target: Lead people without force. * It's never personal: When circumstances demand it, never hesitate to pull the trigger. Ferrante brings his real-life experience to the book, offering fascinating insights into Mafia behavior and sharing behind-the-scenes episodes almost as outrageous as those occurring on Wall Street every day. .
MobSquad
by Prithwiraj Choudhury William R. Kerr Susie L. MaIrfhan Rawji (MBS 2004) launched MobSquad in October 2018 to help American tech start-ups retain hard-to-find talent, many of whom struggled with U.S. work visa issues, such as software engineers with experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or data science. MobSquad also helped companies fill open roles by tapping into its database of pre-vetted foreign tech workers. While there was growing demand for these specialists, the talent supply in the U.S. was relatively constrained and American companies often filled positions with foreign-born workers using a temporary visa called the H-1B. However U.S. President Donald Trump temporarily suspended immigration in June 2020, including foreign workers on an H-1B visa during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rawji contemplated what kind of impact this would have on MobSquad and the tech industry in Canada. There was already evidence that a growing number of foreign tech workers were choosing Canada over the U.S. due to Trump's immigration policies. Now Rawji suspected that Trump's latest move would further accelerate this trend, and he wanted MobSquad to be ready to help companies and workers who had been counting on the H-1B.
Mobil USM&R (A): Linking the Balanced Scorecard
by Robert S. KaplanThe CEO of the marketing and refining division of a major oil company is in the midst of implementing a profit turnaround. He transforms the strongly centralized, functionally-organized division into 17 independent business units and 14 internal service companies. The division also launches a new, market-segmented strategy aimed at high-end buyers. The CEO recognizes, however, that the new organization and strategy require a new measurement system. He turns to the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) because of its ability to link measurement to strategy, and to help the new profit-center managers develop customized strategies for their local responsibilities. The case describes the development of the initial divisional BSC, the linkage of the divisional BSC to independent business unit and internal service company BSCs, and linkage of the BSC to managers' compensation. Concludes with the senior executives reflecting on how they are using the BSC in their management processes.

Mobil USM&R (A1)
by Robert S. KaplanFirst of a two-part case on the development and use of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) at Mobil's US Marketing and Refining Division. Split from the original (A) case to give students an opportunity to suggest objectives and measures for the division's initial BSC, without seeing the actual choices made by Mobil's managers. Describes how the CEO of the marketing and refining division of a major oil company is in the midst of implementing a profit turnaround. He has transformed a strongly centralized, functionally-organized division into 17 independent business units and 14 internal service companies. The division has also launched a new, market-segmented strategy aimed at high-end buyers. The CEO recognizes, however, that the new organization and strategy require a new measurement system. He turns to the BSC because of its ability to link measurement to strategy, and to help the new profit-center managers develop customized strategies for their local responsibilities. This case describes the development process of the initial divisional BSC, and the formulation of objectives and measures for the financial and learning and growth perspectives.
Mobil USM&R (A2)
by Robert S. KaplanSecond of a two-part case on the development and use of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) at Mobil's US Marketing and Refining Division. This case describes the completed BSC, and how this was linked to the BSCs of the independent business units and the internal service organizations. Also describes the linkage of the BSC to managers' compensation through a new variable-pay plan. Concludes with the senior executives reflecting on how they are using the BSC in their management reviews. Focuses on the management processes surrounding the use of BSC. May be taught with Mobil USM&R (B): New England Sales and Distribution, (C): Lubricants Business Unit, and (D): Gasoline Marketing, which describe the development and use of BSCs in two independent business units and one staff department.
Mobil USM&R (B): New England Sales and Distribution
by Robert S. KaplanThe general manager of a local gasoline/distillate sales and distribution business unit must communicate a new strategy to the unit's 300 employees. An initial strategic planning exercise identified a high-priority list of opportunities that blended the parent division's national strategy with a customized, local strategy. But for the new strategy to be effective, the old measurement system, which stressed only sales volume and cost reduction, had to be replaced. The manager led the development of a local Balanced Scorecard (BSC), derived from the division scorecard (described in the (A) case). To communicate the critical features of the local BSC, the unit's senior managers established a Super Bowl competition in which all employees were challenged to achieve stretch targets on five BSC measures. This case describes the communication and management processes for the Super Bowl measures.
