Patent Ready® by Patent Introductions, Inc. aims to help organizations navigate in the world of patents. Recognizing that patents are multi-disciplinary, this book starts from the point of view of the company, and uses plain language, tables, and custom diagrams to concisely integrate the viewpoints of diverse stakeholders in an organization, so as to enable them to have the right patent conversations. Patent Ready® describes patent systems of countries, and how they create patent business risks and opportunities. For new product planning, it also shows which components of a Business Analysis Review can be affected. It then presents basic patent strategies for mitigating the risks that a new product may: i) infringe another’s patent, and ii) eventually be copied, and thus not achieve its possible eventual differentiation, market share, and pricing power in the very long term. This way, managers can better support these patent strategies in their company, for driving durable, patent-related outcomes. Patent Ready® continues with more in-depth instruction for engineers and scientists to execute the basic patent strategies. Detailed information about patents, situations, and searches better prepares the reader at the front line of product development to timely identify scenarios of patent business risks and opportunities, and thus create more advantageous positions for their company.

This book teaches MSW students and early-stage social work management practitioners the essential business skills needed to manage programs and organizations; to improve their overall management toolkit for finding a better job or getting promoted; and, ultimately, to gain parity with other managers holding MBA degrees and working in the human service space. This text can serve as a desk reference for managers to troubleshoot various situations. It is also appropriate for social work macro practice courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as courses that cover human resource management and financial management.

Financial Strategy for Public Managers is a new generation textbook for financial management in the public sector. It offers a thorough, applied, and concise introduction to the essential financial concepts and analytical tools that today’s effective public servants need to know. It starts “at the beginning” and assumes no prior knowledge or experience in financial management. Throughout the text, Kioko and Marlowe emphasize how financial information can and should inform every aspect of public sector strategy, from routine procurement decisions to budget preparation to program design to major new policy initiatives. They draw upon dozens of real-world examples, cases, and applied problems to bring that relationship between information and strategy to life. Unlike other public financial management texts, the authors also integrate foundational principles across the government, non-profit, and “hybrid/for-benefit” sectors. Coverage includes basic principles of accounting and financial reporting, preparing and analyzing financial statements, cost analysis, and the process and politics of budget preparation. The text also includes several large case studies appropriate for class discussion and/or graded assignments.

When a group of people want to buy food cheaply, but don't want to pay rent or salaries or have a store, and are all willing to work, they have a food conspiracy. Buying club and co-op are other names for this kind of organization, but those names also apply to groups with paid managers, store fronts and profits. The food conspiracy movement includes people who want an alternative to supermarket shopping and people who desire direct control of the kind and quality of the food they eat, as well as its price. The first food conspiracy started in Berkeley, California, two months after the People's Park struggle. It has subsequently spread to many large cities and among people of all economic backgrounds. In July, 1969, three Berkeley residents -- Vivian, Jim and Anita, -- met in Vivian's backyard simply to figure out how they could buy food cheaply. Jim knew about the farmers' market and had a VW bus. Vivian knew about organic food. Anita knew how to formulate questions and how to organize. To enlist others to join them, they started writing blurbs in alternative newspapers and putting out pamphlets entitled variously "eat to conspire" and "conspire to eat." They posted a sign near a grocery store in the student neighborhood, ant placed notices in People's Park bulletins and in the Tenant's Union Newsletter and soon there was a group of us.

As many as 60% of organizational change initiatives fail. This means that many normally successful, motivated, and determined managers nonetheless struggle to lead change effectively. Most of those leadership failures share a common cause: managers mistakenly believe that organizational change is brought about by changing the organization. The truth is this: organizations change only as much or as fast as individuals change. And, to change individual behavior, you must first change the mental maps guiding that behavior. In It Starts with One, Third Edition, J. Stewart Black identifies the three critical "brain barriers" managers must break through in order to start, deepen, and sustain needed change. With new cases, examples, and tools for executing successful change initiatives, this edition dives even more deeply into the personal aspects of leading strategic change – as well as the unique challenges posed by driving change in global business environments. One step at a time, Black shows how to use their tools and techniques to bring solutions to life -- and transform change from a hope to a profitable reality.
