Management Ebooks: "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life"

Here is THE book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett. The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to him his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom. The result is the personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as “The Oracle of Omaha.”

Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time he became the world’s richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term “simple.”

When Alice Schroeder met Warren Buffett she was an insurance industry analyst and a gifted writer known for her keen perception and business acumen. Her writings on finance impressed him, and as she came to know him she realized that while much had been written on the subject of his investing style, no one had moved beyond that to explore his larger philosophy, which is bound up in a complex personality and the details of his life. Out of this came his decision to cooperate with her on the book about himself that he would never write.

Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer’s questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates—opening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett’s legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people’s lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.

Management Ebooks: "Predictably Irrational"

In this edition of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller Predictably Irrational, Duke University's behavioral economist Dan Ariely explores the hidden forces that shape our decisions, including some of the causes responsible for the current economic crisis. Bringing a much-needed dose of sophisticated psychological study to the realm of public policy, Ariely offers his own insights into the irrationalities of everyday life, the decisions that led us to the financial meltdown of 2008, and the general ways we get ourselves into trouble.

Blending common experiences and clever experiments with groundbreaking analysis, Ariely demonstrates how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. As he explains, our reliance on standard economic theory to design personal, national, and global policies may, in fact, be dangerous. The mistakes that we make as individuals and institutions are not random, and they can aggregate in the market-with devastating results. In light of our current economic crisis, the consequences of these systematic and predictable mistakes have never been clearer.

Packed with new studies and thought-provoking responses to readers' questions and comments, this revised and expanded edition of Predictably Irrational will change the way we interact with the world-from the small decisions we make in our own lives to the individual and collective choices that shape our economy.

Marketing Ebooks: Jack Trout "Repositioning"

The book that completes Positioning . . .

Thirty years ago, Jack Trout and Al Ries published their classic bestseller, Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind—a book that revolutionized the world of marketing. But times have changed. Competition is fiercer. Consumers are savvier. Communications are faster. And once-successful companies are in crisis mode.

Repositioning shows you how to adapt, compete—and succeed—in today’s overcrowded marketplace. Global marketing expert Jack Trout has retooled his most effective positioning strategies—providing a must-have arsenal of proven marketing techniques specifically redesigned for our current climate. With Repositioning, you can conquer the “3 Cs” of business: Competition, Change, and Crisis . . .

1. BEAT THE COMPETITION: Challenge your rivals, differentiate your product, increase your value, and stand out in the crowd.
2. CHANGE WITH THE TIMES: Use the latest technologies, communications, and multimedia resources to connect with your consumers.
3. MANAGE A CRISIS: Cope with everything from profi t losses and rising costs to bad press and PR nightmares.

Even if your company is doing well, these cutting-edge marketing observations can keep you on top of your game and ahead of the pack. You’ll discover how expanding product lines may decrease your overall sales, why new brand names often outsell established brands, and why slashing prices is usually a bad idea. You’ll learn the dangers of attacking your competitors head-on—and the value of emphasizing value. You’ll see how consumers can have too many choices to pick from—and what you can do to make them pick your brand.

Drawing from the latest research studies, consumer statistics, and business-news headlines, Trout reveals the hidden psychological motives that drive today’s market. Understanding the mindset of your consumers is half the battle. Winning in today’s world is often a matter of repositioning. It’s how you rethink the strategies you’ve always relied on. It’s how you regain the success you’ve worked so hard for. It’s how you win the new battle of the mind.

Management Ebooks: "Yo Me He LLevado Tu Queso"

Lo malo de los manuales de autoayuda que invaden nuestras librerías y mesillas de noche (aparte de lo mal escritos que están y lo feos que son sus autores) es que te obligan a hacerlo todo por ti mismo.

Éste es el manual de autoayuda para la gente a la que no le interesa esforzarse, para los que no quieren ni levantarse del sofá.

Este manual les explicará cómo mejorar sin mover un dedo. Es más, ni siquiera es necesario leer el libro. Sólo con comprarlo y colocarlo en un sitio bien visible de la casa te sentirás más feliz, inteligente y deseable.

En este libro, el periodista Darle Bristow -Bovey ha resumido las lecciones de cientos de manuales de autoayuda. Si antes sospechadas que eran una sarta de tonterías, ahora no te cabrá la menor duda. Darle es uno de los mejores columnistas de su país, Sudáfrica, pero el éxito no lo ha cambiado y sigue cumpliendo sus promesas: al final de este libro te enterarás de quién se ha llevado el dichoso queso. Y, lo que es más importante, habrás aprendido unos cuantos trucos para que no se lleven también tu cerebro.

Management Ebooks: "A Class with Drucker"

Hailed as 'a warm and useful read', "A Class with Drucker" brings to life invaluable advice from the world's greatest thinker and writer on management. From 1975 to 1979, author William Cohen studied under the great Peter Drucker and became the first graduate of his doctoral program. What Drucker taught him literally changed his life. In a matter of a few years, he was recommissioned in the Air Force and rose to the rank of major general. Eventually, he became a full professor, management consultant, multibook author, and university president all the while maintaining a nearly lifelong friendship with the master.

In "A Class with Drucker", Cohen shares many of Drucker's teachings that never made it into his countless books and articles, ideas that were offered to his students in classroom or informal settings. Cohen expands on Drucker's lessons with personal anecdotes about his teacher's personality, lack of pretension, and interactions with students and others. He also shows how Drucker's ideas can be applied to the real-world challenges managers face today. Enlightening and intriguing, this book will enable anyone to gain from the timeless wisdom of the inspiring man himself.

Marketing Ebooks: "How to Sell More Stuff!"

Sales promotions are used by the smallest mom-and-pop storefront to the most sophisticated consumer product marketer—and everyone in between. Unfortunately, not many sales promotions are done well, and most marketers and managers know that. How to Sell More Stuff tells executives, agencies, internal departments, entrepreneurs, and students alike how to close sales by influencing immediate customer behavior through an array of promotional techniques, including sweepstakes, tie-ins, coupons, events, and more.

Authors Steve Smith and renowned Professor Don E. Schultz give readers a fact-filled how-to handbook that covers the entire sales promotion spectrum clearly, concisely, and completely. Professor Schultz introduces each chapter with an insightful, analytical perspective, and then the authors show readers:

• How to choose the right tactic from over 100 options, reviewing descriptions, advantages, and disadvantages
• How to budget the program
• Pitfalls, cautions, and opportunities
• How to put it all together with procedures and checklists
• Examples of leading promotions from Campbell Soup, General Mills, Stanley Tools, and Procter & Gamble

Every business wants to increase sales—from small businesses to agencies to corporations to sales organizations to B2Bs. With How to Sell More Stuff, Smith and Schultz show them how to pick the right promotion to meet their needs and execute it flawlessly to achieve the desired results.

En este clásico de la literatura empresarial que se ha convertido en un éxito de ventas a nivel mundial, John C. Maxwell nos revela las claves para desarrollar nuestras capacidades de liderazgo. Los principios intemporales que propone, aplicados a nuestra vida y a la de nuestras organizaciones, producirán cambios positivos a través de la integridad y la autodisciplina. Con su particular estilo, ameno y lleno de anécdotas, Maxwell explora:

- La verdadera definición de liderazgo. Liderazgo es influencia. Nada más y nada menos. Aquel que cree ser un líder pero no tiene a nadie que le siga, se está engañando a sí mismo.

- Las cualidades del liderazgo. El liderazgo no es un club exclusivo. Las cualidades para llegar a ser un líder pueden aprenderse.

- La diferencia entre dirección y liderazgo. Lograr que otros hagan un trabajo es tarea de un director. Inspirar a otros para que mejoren su trabajo es el logro de un líder.

Marketing Ebooks: "Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy"

¿Cuánto sabemos acerca de por qué compramos? ¿Qué es lo que verdaderamente influye en nuestras decisiones en el mundo actual saturado de mensajes? ¿Un comercial cautivador, un eslogan llamativo, un jingle pegajoso? ¿O, la decisión de comprar está por encima de todo esto y tiene que ver con pensamientos tan profundos como la mente subconsciente? ¿Estaremos al tanto de esto?

En BUY-OLOGY, Lindstrom presenta los sorprendentes e innovadores hallazgos, de tres años y US$ 7 millones en estudios de NEUROMARKETING, una investigación de vanguardia que mira dentro de los cerebros de 2000 voluntarios de todo el mundo mientras se le mostraban diversos anuncios, logotipos, comerciales, marcas y productos. Los sorprendentes resultados de esta investigación rompen con lo que hemos creído durante mucho tiempo acerca de lo que seduce nuestro interés y nos impulsa a comprar.

Entre sus conclusiones:

1. A pesar de las prohibiciones del gobierno, la publicidad subliminal todavía nos rodea – desde los bares hasta las vallas de la autopista a los supermercados.

2. Marcas "Cool", al igual que los iPods accionan nuestro instinto de apareamiento.

3. Otros sentidos - el olfato, el tacto, y el sonido - son tan poderosos, que nos despiertan físicamente cuando vemos un producto.

4. El sexo no vende. En muchos casos, las personas con ropa escasa y en poses sugerentes, no sólo no logran persuadir a comprar productos - a menudo nos alejan.

5. Las empresas rutinariamente copian del mundo de la religión y crean rituales -como beber una Corona con un limón - para capturar nuestro dinero.

6. Entretenidas historias acerca de cómo respondemos a reconocidas marcas como Marlboro, Nokia, Calvin Klein, Ford, y American Idol.

BUYOLOGY es un fascinante y sorprendente viaje en la mente de los consumidores de hoy que cautiva a cualquiera que ha sido seducido - o apagado – por vendedores que intentan ganar nuestra lealtad, nuestro dinero, y nuestra mente.

Management Ebooks: "SuperFreakonomics"

The New York Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first.

Four years in the making, SuperFreakonomics asks not only the tough questions, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary?

SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as:

• How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa?
• Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands?
• How much good do car seats do?
• What's the best way to catch a terrorist?
• Did TV cause a rise in crime?
• What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common?
• Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness?
• Can eating kangaroo save the planet?
• Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor?

Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really is – good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky.

Freakonomics has been imitated many times over – but only now, with SuperFreakonomics, has it met its match.

Management Ebooks: The Art of What Works"

A commonsense approach to creating effective new strategies from ones that are proven to work

From Napoleon through Jack Welch, great leaders have always "borrowed" great ideas from others. The Art of What Works cuts against the grain of today's one-size-fits-all strategic gurus to argue that there are no intrinsically good or bad strategies--just flexible strategies that work best in given situations. Welch's appropriation of Six Sigma from Motorola, and use of its best features to revitalize GE, is a recent example of this approach.

In this insightful and practical guide, leading strategist William Duggan lays the groundwork for building new strategic frameworks by observing what works--and what doesn't--in the real world. The Art of What Works shows business professionals how to:

• Recognize and adopt great ideas and strategies
• Modify strategically sound ideas to their own benefit
• Decide on a course of action--then modify it when necessary

About the Author

William Duggan, Ph.D., teaches strategy at Columbia Business School. He is the author of four previous books, including Napoleon's Glance : The Secret of Strategy, and has twenty years of experience as a strategy advisor and consultant. Duggan is also cofounder of Creative Strategy Group, which helps organizations and individuals apply the art of what works to whatever they do.
