Creating financial value / Malcolm Allitt (2016)

Públic ISBD Títol : Creating financial value : a guide for senior executives with no finance background Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Malcolm Allitt Editorial : Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Data de publicació : 2016 Nombre de pàgines : 226 p. ll. : il., Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-472-92271-7 Nota general : Inlcou índex, glossari de termes i referències bibliogràfiques Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Finances privades Classificació : 75(FIN) Financial Planning Resum : How many senior executives get to the top with little or no formal financial training? They may have been appointed to the executive board as a result of their expertise in marketing, HR, sales or IT, yet board members have a responsibility, individually and collectively, to make informed decisions on proposed actions - decisions which inevitably affect the value of their business. Finance is a subject full of jargon and convention. This is confusing and off-putting to non-specialists - responses range from misunderstanding and frustration to downright fear. As a consequence, it is difficult or impossible for non-specialists to contribute fully to important debates on policy and the actions the business should take as a result. The book's central objective is to equip senior executives who are not financial specialists to develop sound business proposals, or to cross-examine the proposals of others, confidently and competently. This will be achieved by: * Relating financial outcome to other business disciplines, particularly strategy and marketing * Helping define the boundary between what the non-specialist should know and where it is good practice to seek the advice of specialists; and * Puncturing some myths about 'shareholder value'.

Inside the banking crisis / Pym, Hugh (2016)

Públic ISBD Títol : Inside the banking crisis : the untold story, revised and updated Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Pym, Hugh, Autor Editorial : Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Data de publicació : 2016 Nombre de pàgines : 266p Dimensions : 20 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-472-92858-0 Nota general : Inclou índex i bibliografia Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Bancs Classificació : 41 Bancs Resum : It was one of the gravest challenges faced by any British government in peacetime. The banking system, taken for granted by most of the population to pay for life's essentials, came close to collapse. Yet nobody going about their business in October 2008 had any inkling how vulnerable the nation's financial infrastructure was. Nobody, that is, bar a small group of policymakers and ministers working frantically in Whitehall and the City of London. Royal Bank of Scotland, larger than the entire annual output of the UK economy, had toppled. Another banking giant Halifax/Bank of Scotland was in desperate need of a bailout. A staggeringly large bill had to be paid to stave off disaster. But could Britain afford it? Might foreign investors conclude that the UK's public finances could not take the strain and the game was up? Yet doing nothing might have seen cash machines closed, depositors panicking and troops on the streets. These were the appalling dilemmas facing Downing Street, the Treasury and financial regulators in the darkest hours of the crisis triggered by the crash of the US bank Lehman Brothers. As political leaders in the United States confronted challenges to their own system, their British counterparts could rely on nobody for help. A solution had to be found and fast. To their immense credit, a rescue package was unveiled and markets were reassured. But saving the banks was one thing ? securing their future to the benefit of taxpayers and customers was another. Decisions made since the traumatic weeks of October 2008 have cast a long shadow. The UK economy is still bearing the scars. RBS is not repaired, some small businesses are struggling to get credit and public appetite for explanations of what happened remains high. This book is the definitive insider's guide to the UK banking crisis, the drama and characters involved in the collapse of some of the major pillars of British banking and the commitment of £66 billion of taxpayers' money. This as yet untold story is informed by conversations with highly placed policymakers, including many of the key players, and explains what really happened behind closed doors in Downing Street and the City.

Risky strategy / Jamie MacAlister (2016)

Públic ISBD Títol : Risky strategy : understanding risk to improve strategic decisions Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Jamie MacAlister Editorial : Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Data de publicació : 2016 Nombre de pàgines : 211 p. ll. : il., gràf. Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-472-92604-3 Nota general : Conté índex i bibliografia Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Risc Classificació : 601.9 Risc Resum : "What is risk? Is it danger or opportunity? Can it be managed or is it something to be embraced and tried? When companies are developing their business strategies, risk is often mentioned in passing (and frequently misunderstood), but is rarely seen as a core part of the strategic decision-making process. This can lead to unforeseen complications, as strategy is all about making decisions that concern an uncertain future, and therefore risk should play a significant role in this process. The handling or understanding of risk is often delegated to specialists and much of what is written about risk is, due to its complexity, inaccessible to the majority of senior managers involved in making strategic decisions. This book aims to make the consideration of risk more accessible and understandable to those managers and, in doing so, develop a common language and understanding for talking about it. The book is based on research carried out by Ashridge Business School, as well as live case studies of the strategic decision-making process in action, which really brings the subject to life. By drawing on key elements of both strategy and risk, this book will outline how an understanding of risk can play a critical part in decision-making and offer long-term and profitable gain to organisations.

The man who knew / Mallaby, Sebastian (2016)

Públic ISBD Títol : The man who knew : the life and times of Alan Greenspan Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Mallaby, Sebastian, Autor Editorial : Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Data de publicació : 2016 Nombre de pàgines : 781 p. ll. : il., Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-408-85577-5 Nota general : Inclou índex i notes Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economistes -- Biografia Classificació : 018 Biografies Resum : Born in 1926, Alan Greenspan was raised in Manhattan by a single mother and immigrant grandparents during the Great Depression but by quiet force of intellect, rose to become a global financial 'maestro'. Appointed by Ronald Reagan to Chairman of the Federal Reserve, a post he held for eighteen years, he presided over an unprecedented period of stability and low inflation, was revered by economists, adored by investors and consulted by leaders from Beijing to Frankfurt. Both data-hound and eligible society bachelor, Greenspan was a man of contradictions. His great success was to prove the very idea he, an advocate of the Gold standard, doubted: that the discretionary judgements of a money-printing central bank could stabilise an economy. He resigned in 2006, having overseen tumultuous changes in the world's most powerful economy. Yet when the great crash happened only two years later many blamed him, even though he had warned early on of irrational exuberance in the market place. Sebastian Mallaby brilliantly shows the subtlety and complexity of Alan Greenspan's legacy. Full of beautifully rendered high-octane political infighting, hard hitting dialogue and stories, The Man Who Knew is superbly researched, enormously gripping and the story of the making of modern finance.
