Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hampshire's book is aimed at the lay reader and its pages are peppered with practical advice and illustrative case studies” – Irish Times Business leaders are often too busy to familiarise themselves with the benefits and risks of technical undertakings such as new IT plans or changing digital platforms. Yet, if managed effectively, such initiatives can result in huge returns. Creating Value Through Technology provides CEOs, business owners and directors with a clear and accessible guide to the most prominent and profitable technologies that are available, allowing them to confidently implement and sustain new tech strategies. Different elements of the value chain can be supported and enhanced by different technologies – so it's important to understand how investments in tech can drive revenue growth, profitability and the valuation of a business. In this informative yet approachable book, Andrew Hampshire draws upon years of experience and an array of case studies to assess the potentiality and feasibility of different technologies in creating value based on a business's overall strategy. Andrew's book is centred around the basic levers of shareholder value creation: revenue growth, earnings growth and cash generation alongside the multiples used to value businesses. The book applies this framework to existing and burgeoning technologies, exploring where they can be best implemented and sustained to encourage growth. With Creating Value Through Technology, business leaders will discover a newfound confidence in incorporating technological strategies that will revolutionise their business for the digital age.

This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is frequently argued that U.S. corporations have shorter time horizons for planning and investment than their Japanese and German competitors. This argument, though widely accepted in studies of U.S. competitiveness, has rarely been examined in depth. Time Horizons and Technology Investments explores the evidence that some U.S. corporations consistently select projects biased toward short-term return and addresses factors influencing the time-related preferences of U.S. corporate managers in selecting projects for investment. It makes recommendations to policymakers and managers about policies to mitigate negative external influences and about strategies to remove internal biases toward noncompetitive decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over seven years, 45 of the world's top investors were given between $25 and $150m to invest by fund manager Lee Freeman-Shor. His instructions were simple. There was only one rule. They could only invest in their ten best ideas to make money. It seemed like a foolproof plan to make a lot of money. What could possibly go wrong? These were some of the greatest minds at work in the markets today - from top European hedge fund managers to Wall Street legends. But most of the investors' great ideas actually lost money. Shockingly, a toss of a coin would have been a better method of choosing whether or not to invest in a stock. Nevertheless, despite being wrong most of the time, many of these investors still ended up making a lot of money. How could they be wrong most of the time and still be profitable? The answer lay in their hidden habits of execution, which until now have only been guessed at from the outside world. This book lays bare those secret habits for the first time, explaining them with real-life data, case studies and stories taken from Freeman-Shor's unique position of managing these investors on a day-to-day basis. A riveting read for investors of every level, this book shows you exactly what to do and what not to do when your big idea is losing or winning - and demonstrates conclusively why the most important thing about investing is always the art of execution.

Download or read book Perspectives on Localization written by Keiran J. Dunne and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2006-05-10 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, international trade agreements such as GATT and NAFTA have lowered international trade barriers. At the same time, the information revolution has fueled profound shifts in the ways companies conduct business and communicate with their customers, and worldwide acceptance of the ISO 9000 standard has established the notion that quality must be defined in terms of customer satisfaction. Falling trade barriers and rising quality standards have made linguistic and cultural issues increasingly important. To successfully compete in today’s global on-demand economy, companies must localize their products and services to fit the needs of the local market in terms of language, culture, functionality, work practices, as well as legal and regulatory requirements. In recognition of the growing importance of localization, this volume explores a certain number of key issues, including: • Return on investment and the localization business case • Localization cost drivers and cost-containment strategies • Localization quality and customer-focused quality management • Challenges posed by localization of games, including Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) • Using a meta-language to facilitate accurate translation of disembodied content • The case for managing source-language terminology • Terminology management in the localization process • Reconciling industry needs and academic objectives in localization education • Localization standards and the commoditization of linguistic information • The creation and application of language industry standards • Rethinking customer-focused localization through user-centered design • Moving from translation reuse to language reuse
