Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The four behaviors that commonly stop needed change are complacency, immobilization, you-can’t-make-me-move deviance, and a very pessimistic attitude. People do not look carefully at the evidence and start moving, instead holding back or complaining if others initiate new action. #2 The approach in Bosses’ Approval assumed that these behaviors and feelings weren’t present in the organization, or wouldn’t be relevant once the management committee approved the change. These are huge assumptions, and they were proven wrong in Approval. #3 A customer was upset with the quality of the product he received from our company. The company sent a video camera to record his conversation with our employees, and the employees were shocked by the negative feedback. #4 The central challenge in step 1 is getting off the dime. The histories behind Bosses’ Approval and Videotaping share many common elements, but look how radically different the stories are.
A major figure in American legal history during the first half of the twentieth century, Felix Solomon Cohen (1907-1953) is best known for his realist view of the law and his efforts to grant Native Americans more control over their own cultural, political, and economic affairs. A second-generation Jewish American, Cohen was born in Manhattan, where he attended the College of the City of New York before receiving a Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard University and a law degree from Columbia University. Between 1933 and 1948 he served in the Solicitor's Office of the Department of the Interior, where he made lasting contributions to federal Indian law, drafting the Indian Reorganization Act of ...
During the 1960s, traditional thinking about crime and its punishment, deviance and its control, came under radical attack. The discipline of criminology split into feuding factions, and various schools of thought emerged, each with quite different ideas about the nature of the crime problem and its solutions. These differences often took political form, with conservative, liberal, and radical supporters, and the resulting controversies continue to reverberate throughout the fields of criminology and sociology, as well as related areas such as social work, social policy, psychiatry, and law. Stanley Cohen has been at the center of these debates in Britain and the United States. This volume i...
Completely revised and greatly expanded, the new edition of this text takes readers who have been exposed to only basic courses in analysis through the modern general theory of random processes and stochastic integrals as used by systems theorists, electronic engineers and, more recently, those working in quantitative and mathematical finance. Building upon the original release of this title, this text will be of great interest to research mathematicians and graduate students working in those fields, as well as quants in the finance industry. New features of this edition include: End of chapter exercises; New chapters on basic measure theory and Backward SDEs; Reworked proofs, examples and explanatory material; Increased focus on motivating the mathematics; Extensive topical index. "Such a self-contained and complete exposition of stochastic calculus and applications fills an existing gap in the literature. The book can be recommended for first-year graduate studies. It will be useful for all who intend to work with stochastic calculus as well as with its applications."–Zentralblatt (from review of the First Edition)
