Powerful tools for using operations metrics to analyze companies in ways that go beyond traditional financial models and statements.
Investors and analysts often need to look into a firm's operations more deeply than traditional financial statements and models allow. This book describes newly developed tools for using operations metrics to discern and influence the valuation of a firm. It is the first to present these techniques from a unified perspective: that of operations forensics, which looks at operations management not from the traditional point of view of a manager but from that of an investor or shareholder.
After a discussion of financial statements and the useful but incomplete insights they provide, the book covers the three components of operations forensics: operational indicators, operations details that can predict future performance; operational due diligence, methods for verifying companies' claims about operational excellence and valuing their operational assets; and operational turnaround, an innovative approach to buyout and turnaround strategies. The text also offers brief reviews of operations management concepts, real-world examples of operations forensics, and a glossary. The mathematical material gradually increases in sophistication as the book progresses (but can be skipped without loss of continuity). Each chapter concludes with a "Takeaways and Toolkit" section, a brief summary of prior research, and suggestions for further reading.
Operations forensics offers powerful tools and frameworks for financial analysts, private equity firms, managers, and consultants. This book provides a valuable resource for MBA students and practitioners. Downloadable supplementary material for instructors incudes figures form the text and 42 slides that can be used for class presentations.

How You Can Maximize Project Management With the Same Methodology Used by Microsoft
Many companies try to save money and underestimate the importance of project management.
You know better than anyone else that project management is more than just quickly briefing your team during work.
Even startups with small budgets invest in a project manager (PM) because it s no longer a secret that a skilled project manager can save companies 28 times more money since their output is more reliable.
No wonder that according to Wrike, 80% of high-performing projects are led by a certified project manager.
Yet, not every project manager is equally good.
Elite companies such as Apple, Uber, and Facebook are willing to pay a sky-high salary for experienced project managers because they know going first-class is always cheaper.
No one trusts a low price offered by a project wannabe.
Successful project management goes far beyond choosing the right methodology to create a "big bang" when you launch your project.
You need to connect with your team and create a unique work environment where mindset and core values play an important role.
But in a fast-paced world where most things are done electronically, we often forget how professional and human interaction actually works.
There is a reason why Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg chose managers who own the key to methodology, core values, AND mindset.
And what if I told you that there is a project management tool out there that allows you to hold this key sooner than you think?
This is only a small fragment of what you ll discover in Agile Project Management
Why Fortune 500 Companies such as Microsoft, IBM and Cisco use an Agile approach to process improvement
A framework for better teamwork that is so simple and yet so effective that even the American Rugby team stole it to improve their success
A bulletproof blueprint to ensure you don't miss anything while setting up and running your project
How to manipulate time with the latest management techniques to get the most out of every minute of your day
The unbeatable set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in harmony to help teams structure and manage their work
Why 70% of software developers use "scrum" to never get lost in the complexity of their work and how you can use this tool too
How to instantly apply your agile knowledge even if you have never worked with project methodologies before
How to make Agile suitable for any type of business size
The latest trends of 2020 on Agile project management to update your existing methodology
Why you are leaving money on the table if you are still following traditional project management
And much more.
A lot of project managers are resistant to Agile project management because it doesn't offer the same structure that traditional project management does. It took them years to get to the current level they're at and they feel too comfortable to change.
Yet, choosing out of comfort is self-sabotaging behavior. After discovering the efficiency that Agile methodology will bring to your projects, you ll agree that transition is inevitable.
There is no way you ll ever be able to react as quickly to change with a traditional approach as you can with Agile. This will not only improve client satisfaction, but it will also save you time and money.

Описание: How do leaders lead for high performance in Asia, the fastest growing region in the world? What are the new leadership influential processes and skillsets needed to engage the organizational members in creative and meaningful ways?

Описание: Many books and articles have been written about how firms can achieve and sustain high performance. They typically focus on a particular aspect of the firm such as its culture, resources, leadership, ability to learn, human resources practices, or communications systems. Often the very firms that are used as examples of high performance are no longer high performing even a few years later.
In contrast, this book asserts that it is the efficiency and effectiveness of a firm’s entire value creating system that determines its performance over the long term. Systems theory is used as an integrative mechanism to combine the best ideas from industrial organization economics, the resource-based perspective, and stakeholder theory.
Based on this theoretical foundation, tools are provided for conducting in-depth, detailed analyses of each part of a firm’s value creation system and its effectiveness in contributing to the total stakeholder value created by the firm. Systems assessment based on this information then leads to the development of strategies, including specific initiatives for overcoming weaknesses in the system and for creating new value for stakeholders. The book also provides guidance for developing detailed plans and a strategic control system to make sure strategies and initiatives are implemented. An underlying theme is that the purpose of a firm is to create value for its stakeholders: customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, and the communities in which the firm operates. This book provides a concise, yet complete guide for strategic management.
