El poder en la empresa
En las empresas de negocios el poder más pleno, el poder que resulta más decisivo para el futuro de la organización y, por tanto, para el futuro de las personas que la forman, se ejerce en su proceso de gobierno y dirección. En El poder en la empresa, el profesor Gallo pretende ayudar a comprender mejor la concepción y el ejercicio del poder en la empresa, en sus órganos de gobierno y dirección, y por los hombres y mujeres que en ella trabajan; asimismo, tiene el deseo de contribuir a la mejora de unos y otros en su ejercicio. El profesor Gallo plantea diversas cuestiones esenciales del ejercicio del poder en la empresa: • La exigencia de una finalidad adecuada para un correcto ejercicio del poder. • La escasez del poder más pleno en la empresa. • La incidencia de las preferencias personales en el ejercicio del poder. • Los límites voluntarios del poder y la relevancia de la colegialidad en el gobierno de la empresa. • La necesidad de la educación para el ejercicio del poder.
Victory's Shadow
At the beginning of the eleventh century, Catalonia was a patchwork of counties, viscounties, and lordships that bordered Islamic al-Andalus to the south. Over the next two centuries, the region underwent a dramatic transformation. The counts of Barcelona secured title to the neighboring kingdom of Aragon through marriage and this newly constituted Crown of Aragon, after numerous failed attempts, finally conquered the Islamic states positioned along its southern frontier in the mid-twelfth century. Successful conquest, however, necessitated considerable organizational challenges that threatened to destabilize, politically and economically, this triumphant regime. The Aragonese monarchy's eff...
Bartolomé de Las Casas
"Bartolome de las Casas (1484-1566) came to the New World in pursuit of material wealth, became virtually a slave owner, and ended up suddenly and dramatically turning his life around to become a Dominican friar and the first great champion of the Native Americans. Daring to challenge the Spanish encontienda system, which was little more than a justification of forced labor, Las Casas, in the spirit of the great Hebrew Prophets, spoke out unequivocally for justice and freedom for oppressed peoples. His The Only Way, which argued that the native peoples of the Americas are fully human, can rightly be called one of the seminal documents of American Catholic social justice." "In this biography,...
Natural Law
Author Alberto M. Piedra lucidly illustrates the notion of 'natural law' through the examination of economic, social, political, and cultural issues. In this work Piedra draws on classical and Christian sources as well as his personal experience as an economist, diplomat, and lecturer on world politics to address philosophical views in a constructive and morally guided exegesis of natural law and economics. This innovative book shows the value of appeals to a governing, natural law and attendant principles such as the common good, subsidiarity, hierarchy, spiritual welfare, the reciprocity of freedom and authority, and the cultivation of personal moral and intellectual virtue. Natural Law will appeal to scholars, professionals, and others interested in the cultivation of personal moral and intellectual virtue.
Spanish National Cinema
This study examines the discourses of nationalism as they intersected or clashed with Spanish film production from its inception to the present. While the book addresses the discourses around filmmakers such as Almodóvar and Medem, whose work has achieved international recognition, Spanish National Cinema is particularly novel in its treatment of a whole range of popular cinema rarely touched on in studies of Spanish cinema. Using accounts of films, popular film magazines and documents not readily available to an English-speaking audience, as well as case studies focusing on the key issues of each epoch, this volume illuminates the complex and changing relationship between cinema and Spanish national identity.
The Code of Cuenca
Sometime around 1190, King Alfonso VIII of Castile granted a royal charter to the community of Cuenca, a Castilian frontier town recently recaptured from the Muslims and resettled by Christians. The royal charter was in the form of a law code, or fuero. Fueros, which evolved from short lists of exceptions to standing royal directives into much more extensive commentaries on legal matters, were used as an incentive to Christian settlement on the frontier. Reflecting the complexities of administering a town that still had large Muslim and Jewish populations, the fuero or code of Cuenca was meant to assure the permanence of Christian conquest and settlement. James Powers provides the first tran...
Vulcanalia
Entre los años 154 y 153 a. C. un suceso cambió para siempre el curso de la historia: la llamada segunda guerra celtíbera. Intrigas, ansias de riqueza y el poder del Senado romano son los ejes vertebradores de esta cruenta guerra. En ella, los celtíberos luchan por su supervivencia como pueblo frente a un enemigo dispuesto a todo por conseguir su objetivo: el saqueo y el control de Hispania. En esta fascinante novela, los personajes de uno y otro bando se ven arrastrados hacia un caos sin sentido, en el que incluso los dioses deberán tomar partido, desembocando finalmente en lo que los romanos denominaron con acierto la «guerra de fuego».
