Ending the Blame Culture
This book is about mistakes and what we can learn from them. It faces up to, and explains how organizations can escape from ’blame cultures’, where fearful conformance and risk avoidance lead to stagnation, to ’gain cultures’ which tolerate and even encourage mistakes in the pursuit of innovation, change and improvement. Ending the Blame Culture was written as a result of systematic analysis of the content of over 200 accounts of real mistakes within businesses and organizations. This analysis provides both insight and understanding into the type of mistakes made, the context they were made in and how they helped learning and development. As a result the authors are able to distinguish between intelligent and undesirable mistakes: those which should be tolerated and those which must be avoided. The result is a book which gives sound advice on how individuals learn, practical measures that organizations can adopt to enhance learning through better management of mistakes, and the promotion of a culture which supports and fosters experimentation and risk taking.

Sweet Charity
The world of UK charities has been transformed. Gone are the days when charities gained the majority of their money from rattled tins. Fundraising is a sophisticated art and charities often manage multi-million pound contracts to provide services. Those who manage such organizations are expected to adapt to an ever-changing world. Sweet Charity is about this changing world; the skills needed to manage, fundraise, run a successful lobbying campaign or attract new work and the way in which UK charities will increasingly operate in a European environment. Broadly divided into three parts, this book firstly describes the size and scope of the voluntary sector, how it operates and the ways in which changes to the welfare state have had a direct effect upon how charities operate. The second part breaks down the constituent parts of charities, looking in turn at the role of trustees, managers and fundraisers, financial staff and marketing experts. Lastly, the book deals with UK charities in a widening European context. Sweet Charity will attract an extensive readership from trustees and managers of voluntary organizations to academics, students and commentators on the voluntary sector.
European Accountancy Yearbook 1992/93

Following numerous international mergers and syndicate formations large accountancy firms are competing to provide services to international corporations and businesses with cross-border trade. The Yearbook provides a one-stop reference source allowing financial directors of these companies to find out which accountancy firms are providing what services and where. It will also provide great assistance to other accountancy and financial services organisations to evaluate the state of the fast growing European market, and to assess competitors or possible partners. The Yearbook includes profiles of all the major firms showing the international coverage, their services offered, fee income, partners, branch offices, etc. In addition the Yearbook includes invaluable reference data such as country by country accountancy scene overview, corporate tax rates, E.C. directives, etc.
Disaster in the Boardroom
Why when companies come crashing down, do we hear of boards who have failed in their fiduciary duties? Or that they have been ignorant, complacent or downright complicit in these scandals and downfalls? Of course, corporate scandals are nothing new, nor are they limited to any one geography. They are a damning indictment of our systems of corporate governance around the world. And yet, despite this frequency, little or nothing changes. We shrug and move on, accepting they are an unavoidable part of the system that produces incredible wealth for economies and societies. But it should not be that way. Disaster in the Boardroom shows how boards can be better. Looking at why these scandals happe...
