Rapid Organizational Change
by Steven BleisteinA new lean and agile model for more effective change management Rapid Organizational Change gets right to the heart of the change initiative problem, and offers a time- and money-saving solution.

Rapid Organizational Change lays out a new shortcut to help your organization stay out in front.
Rapid Results Credit Repair Credit Dispute Letter System
by John Harris<p>Even though your credit affects your whole life experience you probably know very little about real credit repair. Most of the books I have read online about credit repair are out of date or more often than not don't really have a clue what is going on. Let's face it all are lives are on a clock that is always ticking. Tick Tock Tick Tock. THIS IS NOT A PRACTICE RUN. This is your one life. Every day with bad credit is a day you are not experiencing your full life experience. <p>Imagine knowing you have great credit. You know when you talk to the guy in the suit that you have great credit. You know you will be approved for anything. You can shop around for the best rates. You have the best property and pay less than the guy with the dumpy property. You drive the best car for less than the poor guy driving the seven-year-old vehicle. You might start flipping property. You might buy a business on credit. People respect you because you are the baller, you can get things done because you have access to CREDIT. You can take advantage of great deals because you have CREDIT. <p>My bet is that you know more about cooking a turkey, changing your oil, what's on Netflix, Geography, Donald Trump, Words of a different language, Facebook, etc. THAN YOU DO ABOUT REAL CREDIT REPAIR. vI guarantee you can have good credit</p>

Told from the perspectives of two Southwest customers--a frequent flier and a more typical customer--the case revolves around two customer service requests from the frequent flier, both of which provide a compelling temptation to cater to the satisfaction of the airline's highest revenue customers.

Rapid7
by Paul A. Gompers Mitchell Weiss Silpa KovvaliThat Corey Thomas, vice president at Boston-based Rapid7, Inc., was about to enter his investor's boardroom to negotiate a potential acquisition of Metasploit, LLC, was already an unlikely achievement of sorts. After all, Rapid7 was a venture-backed, corporate client-focused cybersecurity company, and Metasploit was a white-hat hacker community with a reputation that ranged from esoteric to "notorious." And awaiting Thomas for the deliberations wasn't a typical business partner, but rather HD Moore, Metasploit's founder, chief contributor, and in 2009 one of the most well-known hackers on the planet. The groundwork that had been laid to convince Moore to come to Boston for the discussions would all be for naught if Thomas couldn't come to terms with Moore... and if Thomas couldn't persuade his own executive team and board of directors that whatever package he ultimately agreed to with Moore was a reasonable one, even though an acquisition of Metasploit would come with no meaningful revenue and considerable execution, legal and reputational risks.

Rapidly Changing Securities Markets
by Robert A. Schwartz John Aidan Byrne Eileen StempelThis book offers a look at equity markets and what they have experienced since the 1997 Order Handling Rules were instituted. Specifically, it examines the tremendous technology innovation, intensified competition between an expanding set of alternative trading venues, and continuing regulatory changes that have occurred. Who have been the key initiators? How has market quality evolved over this period in response? What further structural and regulatory changes are still needed? These are among the key questions addressed in the volume, titled after the Baruch College Financial Markets Conference entitled Rapidly Changing Securities Markets: Who are the Initiators? The Zicklin School of Business Financial Markets Series presents the insights emerging from a sequence of conferences hosted by the Zicklin School at Baruch College for industry professionals, regulators, and scholars. Much more than historical documents, the transcripts from the conferences are edited for clarity, perspective and context; material and comments from subsequent interviews with the panelists and speakers are integrated for a complete thematic presentation. Each book is focused on a well delineated topic, but all deliver broader insights into the quality and efficiency of the U. S. equity markets and the dynamic forces changing them.
Rare Breed: A Guide to Success for the Defiant, Dangerous, and Different
by Sunny Bonnell Ashleigh HansbergerAn unconventional business book for the rebels and misfits—the Rare Breeds—who don’t fit the traditional mold, offering an approach that’s anything but business as usual.There is an unofficial rule for success: you need to change who you are to achieve greatness. But it doesn’t have to be that way. What if you could leverage your so-called vices and shortcomings and make them your super powers? — Rebellious. Audacious. Obsessed. Hot-Blooded. Weird. Hypnotic. Emotional —These seven vices are what acclaimed leadership and brand experts Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger identify as keys to becoming a Rare Breed—those standout leaders and achievers—in any career. Rare Breed is an unorthodox business book for the rebels, outsiders, and provocateurs — anyone with the ambition to lead, create, inspire and provoke change on your own terms by owning all of who you are, not just the pretty parts. But be careful, each virtue has a seductive and dualistic nature that can lead to success or sabotage.Unique stories. Unconventional advice. Practical tools. Bonnell and Hansberger lay it all out to help fellow Rare Breeds understand, unlock, and direct the potential that’s been slumbering in them to rise above the ordinary, own who they are, and push things forward.
Rare Diseases: Challenges and Opportunities for Social Entrepreneurs
by Nicolas SireauThere are 7,000 rare diseases affecting 6%–8% of the global population. That's 3.5 million people in the UK alone. Yet only 200 rare diseases have approved treatments. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest from business and social entrepreneurs in the field of health – including looking at ways to treat rare disease patients better and faster. This book presents some of the latest developments in the world of rare disease entrepreneurship from a global group of experts. It examines the topic from the business angle, considering the drug development process and providing case studies of successful orphan drug enterprises. It also looks at rare diseases from the perspective of the patient, analysing the growing rare disease patient movement, a successful patient group that uses social enterprise techniques, and chapters on key requirements for helping patients with rare diseases through registries and centres of excellence. The book will be an essential toolkit for social and business entrepreneurs who are interested in the world of rare/orphan diseases. It has the rigour of an academic publication, along with the clarity of a lay publication. An original and timely book, Rare Diseases will help to add knowledge and awareness to a vastly under-published subject.
