SAP SE: Autism at Work
by Gary P. Pisano Robert D. AustinThis case describes SAP's "Autism at Work" program, which integrates people with autism into the company's workforce. The company has a stated objective of making 1% of its workforce people with autism by 2020. SAP's rationale for the program is based on the belief that "neurodiversity" contributes to the company's overall innovative capabilities ("We believe that innovation comes from the edges"). Thus, the program is not viewed as a subsidized Corporate Social Responsibility activity, but as a positive net benefit activity, as well as a way of addressing skills shortages by tapping into non-traditional pools of (considerable) talent. The case explores how SAP is also using the program to rethink and re-engineer its Human Resource Management policies and processes, to make them more inclusive and effective.

SAP's CEO on Being the American Head of a German Multinational
by Bill Mcdermott"Today I’m the chief executive of SAP, which is headquartered in Walldorf, Germany. The company was founded by five engineers who would build SAP into a market-leading business software maker and a crown jewel in Germany’s strong economy. I’m the first American to lead SAP in its 45-year history. I’m also the only American-born CEO leading a company on the DAX, Germany’s stock exchange. I’m the only American on the European Round Table of Industrialists, a group of CEOs of Europe’s largest companies. With a presence in nearly every country on earth, SAP has long been open to contributions by anyone, of no matter what nationality or background. Still, leading a company whose identity is rooted in a culture that’s foreign presents unique challenges—which is why few CEOs do it."

Saqueando o Terceiro Mundo: Como a Elite Global Afundou as Nações Pobres num Mar de Débitos
by Makoto Yamamoto James Morcan Lance MorcanSaqueando o Terceiro Mundo é dedicado aos empobrecidos nos lugares esquecidos de todo o mundo. O livro questiona se instituições como o Banco Mundial, o Fundo Monetário Internacional, a Agência dos Estados Unidos para o Desenvolvimento Internacional e outras grandes organizações de ajuda internacional mais ajudam do que prejudicam as pessoas mais pobres do mundo. Este livro analisa também se os pacotes de auxílio por essas organizações são genuínos ou se são golpes destinados a subjugar os países do Terceiro Mundo. Ele expõe a cultura da corrupção dentro das organizações mencionadas e a arrogância com que elas tratam os seus ‘clientes’ – os países subdesenvolvidos. Os Morcan revelam um plano nefasto correndo em segredo, em que a ‘generosidade’ oferecida pelas organizações de ajuda internacional em prol do desenvolvimento e do auxílio, do caso dos desastres naturais, vem com sérias condicionantes. Seriam elas amarras planejadas para extorquir as nações mais vulneráveis? O leitor também será lembrado de que os assassinos econômicos, popularizados no best-seller Confissões de um Assassino Econômico, de John Perkins, ainda estão vivos e na ativa – principalmente na África. Os autores foram motivados por uma incômoda estatística: 21 mil pessoas morrem de fome todos os dias. É uma pessoa a cada quatro segundos! Mais repugnante é o fato de que essas mortes são desnecessárias, dado que há riqueza mais do que suficiente no mundo inteiro para que todos os países tenham pelo menos as necessidades básicas supridas, e mais do que suficiente para que o Terceiro Mundo se sustente organicamente. Ao chegar ao fim do livro, você verá que há tanta riqueza no Terceiro Mundo quanto no Primeiro. Na verdade, termos como ‘Terceiro Mundo’ e ‘nações empobrecidas’ são essencialmente errôneas, pois implicam que a riqueza e os recursos são limitados nesses lugar
Saqueo: Quién y cómo provocó la crisis del sistema bancario español
by Gemma MartínezLo que los banqueros y políticos no quieren que se sepa. Cajas de ahorros que pasan de presentar unos resultados excelentes a ser intervenidas, productos financieros seguros que se transforman en un timo, banqueros que se despiden con unas indemnizaciones millonarias, consejos de administración formados por bailarinas y turroneros... ¿Cómo es posible que hayamos llegado a esta situación? Gemma Martínez describe las peculiaridades del sistema financiero español, explica cómo se gestó el boom del ladrillo y desentraña la gran connivencia entre políticos, banqueros y empresarios que ha provocado este enorme desaguisado y que ha acabado con la intervención del país. Saqueo cuenta por primera vez los detalles y señala los responsables de un escándalo que está provocando gravísimas repercusiones en la economía española, y cuyas consecuencias vamos a pagar entre todos. Ya que lo vamos a pagar entre todos, es necesario explicar cómo ocurrió y quiénes son los responsables. Reseñas:«La economía no levanta cabeza, el sector financiero sigue renqueando y el desempleo no amaina. Gemma Martínez nos ofrece en Saqueo un análisis de la larga cadena de equivocadas decisiones que nos ha llevado a esta situación límite. Lo recomiendo a todos aquellos que quieran comprender las verdaderas causas del marasmo económico-financiero que nos asola.»Mauro F. Guillén, profesor de gestión internacional en Wharton School y director del Lauder Institute «Como corresponsal en Nueva York, Gemma Martínez fue testigo y relatora de excepción de la crisis financiera que empezó a estallar en Estados Unidos a comienzos de 2007 y lo ha sido del terremoto financiero español iniciado hace menos de un año. En Saqueo nos descubre las historias reales y las claves financieras que nos han llevado hasta aquí, y vislumbra lo que está por venir en un trabajo de primerísima investigación periodística.»Martí Saballs, subdirector de Expansión y ex corresponsal en Nueva York «El libro es una notable aportación para saber las claves de lo que pasó en el sector financiero y por qué, después de un tiempo, probablemente volverá a ocurrir lo mismo, si reparamos en la genuina e inexorable imperfección de la naturaleza humana.»Miguel Ángel Belloso, director de Actualidad Económica
