Rechnungslegungspolitik: Eine Bestandsaufnahme aus handels- und steuerrechtlicher Sicht

Book Description

Die zunehmende Beschäftigung mit handels- und steuerrechtlichen Aspekten der Rechnungslegungspolitik und die wachsende Bedeutung der internationalen Rechnungslegung waren die Hauptgründe für die Herausgabe dieses Buches. Zum einen wird versucht, die bis zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt vorgelegten Forschungsergebnisse in ausgewählten Bereichen der Rechnungslegungspolitik systematisch zu präsentieren. Zum anderen zeigen die 28 Beiträge den Entwicklungsprozeß von der traditionellen Bilanzpolitik zu einer umfassenden Rechnungslegungspolitik, die in das Ziel- und Informationssystem des Unternehmens eingebettet ist, auf. Hierdurch sollen u.a. Gestaltungsstrategien, -potentiale und -instrumente verdeutlicht werden, die auch im Rahmen einer künftigen Internationalisierung der Unternehmenspolitik genutzt werden können.

Book Description

The Manager's Pocket Guide to Recruiting the Workforce of the Future will show employers faced with a lean, post-downsizing organization in the midst of a tight labor market, how to develop and implement hiring solutions. Employers should no longer recruit for the long term, but to get the job done today, tomorrow, and next week. The key to continued success for companies now is the ability to adapt rapidly to new circumstances. Staffing may have to expand quickly in one skill area, or contract quickly in another—or do both at the same time. Strategies for staffing must therefore be geared to this reality. The best practices outlined in this pocket guide are presented as keys and processes supplemented by worksheets and checklists intended to give your organization the advantage when it comes time to quickly and effectively bring in the talent you need.

Insight Knowledge & Real-World Applications.......2001-05-30

Bruce did a good job in this book. He took the readers through different steps in formulating a recruiting strategy to practical implementation ideas. Subjects were presented in a clear cut but short format for the busy professionals today. As a HR specialist, this book gave me plenty strategic insight to effetively change our recruitng campaign.

Book Description

Chemical fertilizers have had a significant impact on food production in the recent past, and are today an indispensable part of modern agriculture. On the other hand, the oil crisis of the 1970s and the current Middle East problems are constant reminders of the vulnerability of our fossil fuel dependent agriculture. There are vast areas of the developing world where N fertilizers are neither available nor affordable and, in most of these countries, balance of payment problems have resulted in the removal of N fertilizer subsidies. The external costs of environmental degradation and human health far exceed economic concerns. Input efficiency of N fertilizer is one of the lowest and, in turn, contributes substantially to environmental pollution. Nitrate in ground and surface waters and the threat to the stability of the ozone layer from gaseous oxides of nitrogen are major health and environmental concerns. The removal of large quantities of crop produce from the land also depletes soil of its native N reserves. Another concern is the decline in crop yields under continuous use of N fertilizers.
These economic, environmental and production considerations dictate that biological alternatives which can augment, and in some cases replace, N fertilizers must be exploited. Long-term sustainability of agricultural systems must rely on the use and effective management of internal resources. The process of biological nitrogen fixation offers and economically attractive and ecologically sound means of reducing external nitrogen input and improving the quality and quantity of internal resources. In this book, we outline sustainability issues that dictate an increased use of biological nitrogen fixation and the constraints on its optimal use in agriculture.

Book Description

The subsistence agriculture of the pre-chemical era efficiently sustained the nitrogen status of soils by maintaining a balance between N loss and N gain from biological nitrogen fixation (BNF): the microbial conversion of atmospheric N to a form usable by plants. This was possible with less intensive cropping, adaptation of rational crop rotations and intercropping schemes, and the use of legumes as green manure. Modern agriculture concentrates on maximum output, however, overlooking input efficiency; It is not sustainable. Intensive monocropping, with no or inadequate crop rotations or green manuring, together with the excessive use of chemical N fertilizers, results in an imbalance between N gain and N loss. The losses are often larger than the gains, and soil N status declines. The challenge is to sustain soil N fertility in many different tropical and temperate farming systems operating at high productivity levels. This requires judicious integration of BNF components, maintaining a good balance between N losses and gains.
In this book, papers on BNF in crop forage and tree legumes are augmented with discussions of integrated farming systems involving BNF, soil and N management, and recycling of legume residues. BNF by non-legumes are discussed, and attempts to transform cereals into nodulating plants are critically reviewed. Advances in the development of novel methodologies to understand symbiotic relations and to assess N ₂ fixation in the field are described, and means are presented to enhance BNF through plant and soil management or breeding and selection. Problems encountered in exploiting BNF under field conditions are examined, as are promising approaches to improving BNF exploitation.

Book Description

`Are there other planetary systems like ours? Other planets like ours? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe?' So asks Dr. Lew Allen Jr. in the Foreword. In December of 1992, theorists, observers, and instrument builders gathered at the California Institute of Technology to discuss the search for answers to these questions. The International Conference, entitled `Planetary Systems: Formation, Evolution, and Detection' and supported through NASA's newly formed TOPS (Toward Other Planetary Systems) program, was the first of a series of conferences uniting researchers across disciplines and political boundaries to share thoughts and information on planetary systems. The conference was sponsored by NASA, hosted by JPL at Caltech, and endorsed by the 1992 International Space Year Association.
These proceedings include discussions of topics ranging from stellar, disk, and planetary formation to new ways of searching for other stellar systems containing planets. The authors represent a wide range of nationalities, disciplines, and points of view. The second international conference took place in December of 1993.

Book Description

The Michigan Law Quadrangle: Architecture and Origins offers the reader an engaging armchair tour of one of the gems of American academic architecture. Newcomers to this handsome set of buildings and habitués of its noble halls alike will find in author Kathryn Horste a discerning and instructive guide. Her observations, together with the more than sixty photographs commissioned to illustrate them, provide a new and memorable encounter with the Michigan Law Quad.

Horste starts us off with an examination of the buildings' exteriors, their arrangement and aesthetic impact, and an appreciation of the historical resonances freely, at times whimsically, employed by master architects at the top of their form. The mid-portion of her work traces the history of the extraordinary gift of these buildings to a public university by one fiercely devoted and thoroughly committed alumnus and places the rich, if not always serene, interplay of donor, institution, and architect in a new light. She broadens her study with an overview of the development of the quadrangle's architects, the firm York & Sawyer, in the full maturity of the American Beaux Arts school.

Her text concludes with a comprehensive amble through the quadrangle's elegant interiors. From their most imposing spaces to some of their most charming details, these buildings, which have for more than seventy years at once served and inspired successive generations of students and professors, are given their due. Both text and photographs are particularly successful in capturing the buildings' wealth of worksmanship in metal, wood, glass, stone, and plaster by artisans whose craft, now nearly extinct, was near its last flowering when the quad was built. Yet the wedding of a strikingly modern addition, below ground, to the rich, traditional buildings original to the complex emerges as a remarkable achievement that extends and amplifies the integrity of the quad.

The Michigan Law Quadrangle: Architecture and Origins explores one of Michigan's most interesting architectural sites from a broad perspective that enlivens the mind and educates the eye.

Kathryn Horste is an independent scholar living in Ann Arbor. She holds a Ph.D. in the History of Art from the University of Michigan, and she has been a member of the faculty at Colgate University. From 1987 to 1990 she served as Collection Development Specialist at the Getty Research Institute. Her publications include Cloister Design and Monastic Reform in Toulouse: The Romanesque Sculpture of La Daurade.

Gary Quesada, who was commissioned to photograph the University of Michigan Law Quad for this book, began his career as a protégé of noted architectural photographer Balthazar Korab, with whom he has subsequently had a long professional association. In recent years Mr. Quesada undertook legal studies; he now holds a J.D. and combines the practice of law in Royal Oak, Michigan, with photographic assignments for the Korab-Hedrich-Blessing studio, Troy, Michigan.

Book Description

Stats vs. Scouts. Math vs. Makeup. Computers vs. Commuters. College vs. High School. The debate is a new one in baseball, and it has recently taken on a life of its own. Ever since Michael Lewis' best-seller Moneyball arrived on the scene, and spurred by the recent World Series victory by the sabermetric advocate Boston Red Sox, the dispute about the best way to build a professional baseball team has raged out of control - until now.

In this fascinating and insightful look into what criteria major and minor league baseball scouts use to determine talent, Scout's Honor shines a bright light on the job done by `old-school' scouts and their killer instincts. The author uses the success of the Atlanta Braves as the focal point for a mesmerizing investigation into the debate of stats versus scouts, and why, if it's a successful franchise you're after, there is no debate about the bravest way to build a winning team.

"What makes Scout's Honor so great is that it brings us into the world of those who determine successful big leaguers by looking into the future, not by looking back at spreadsheets and stats. Now that takes talent. `Old-school' wins, literally. This book is a worthy foil to the Moneyballers." - Lyle Spencer, MLB.com

"Finally, an entertaining book that validates the importance of scouting." - Pat Gillick, 2-time World Series Champion GM and Executive of the Year.

Enlightenment on traditional scouting.......2006-03-23

I read this book and assumed it would be an answer to Moneyball, and in some ways it was. But the best description I saw was in an earlier review. If you read the first 4-7 chapters to get a history and an overview of the scouting program, as well as 1 or 2 of the scouting stories on prospects, you get the idea. Then skip to the end and read the last 2 chapters. If that was all the book was, then it would been a fascinating read. But as a competitor to moneyball, it doesnt hold a candle to the book in general.

First, moneyball was well written. This book could've been a compilation of a home schooled sophmore in high school research and writing course. Moneyball actucally has flow, and tells stories differently. Scout's honor tells the same story over and over.

Here's my suggestion. Buy the book, read the first 10 chapters and the last 2, and then return it.

Who said he doesn't define makeup?.......2006-01-06

This is a great book, especially if your an Atlanta Braves fan, as it is particularly groomed for these fans. However, anyone who has a passion for baseball should love this book.

In regards to the reviewer who said the book is ruined for you because Shanks never defines makeup, perhaps you should take a glance at page 16, and check out that paragraph that's clearly indicated with a baseball above it, highlighting its importance.

"The Braves are what you call in the game of baseball, an old school organization. Radar guns and stopwatches are always in use, and of course they'll check out the stats. But there's a personal side that's more important to this gang. They believe in getting to know their potential players. What's he like off the field? Is he a winner? Can he handle adversity? Can he handle winning and losing? Does he hustle? What's his desire? What's his attitude? What's his personality? Is he coachable? Does he have heart? This is makeup. It defines the character of a ballplayer."

Perhaps you should go back and reread this one mate, seems like you dropped the ball.

An Embarrassment, Really.......2005-12-15

If you are a huge Braves fan, you won't mind reading line after line describing how the Braves system can do no wrong. If you are a serious baseball fan, you'll just roll your eyes. Some of the profiles of minor leaguers are interesting at first. But as one other reviewer noted, the profiles all seem to be the same. You'll find yourself skipping several pages at a time.

Most would acknowledge that the Braves are a top-notch organization. It's just silly, however, for anyone to assert the Braves have done EVERYTHING right. I don't think the book contains even mild criticism of a Braves employee, trade or scouting decision. Everything is painted in a light most favorable to the Braves.

In addition, whenever possible, the author takes a shot at Michael Lewis, Moneyball, Billy Beane and the Oakland A's. Fine, the Braves have a different approach and it works. Is there only ONE way to build a solid baseball team? Seems unlikely. And why take cheap shots? For instance, at one point he is discussing the A's acquiring Dan Meyer and Juan Cruz, two young Braves pitchers from the Braves. He sneers at the A's, in effect saying, if Moneyball is such a great system, why did you come crawling to the Braves for young pitching? Well, guess what? Everybody needs young pitching. You know who the Braves got in the Cruz/Meyer trade? Tim Hudson. A pitcher. A pitcher developed in the Oakland A's farm system.

It's just embarrassing. The author is a Braves employee -- and not even a baseball man -- a broadcaster. This book reads like a propaganda piece commissioned by the Braves. As a baseball fan, I'd rather read an objective account of how good the Braves organization is. When a company man writes it (and never adds criticism when criticism is due), it loses all credibility.

Why does the best organization in baseball need to commission a book like this? Doesn't winning your division 14 of the last 15 years say all there is to say?

***
Note: The writing is done at a pretty basic level, and there are lots of typos and grammatical mistakes. Golenbock's books have tons of typos and grammar issues too, but at least his substance is good.

How do the Braves do it? Only vague answers here........2005-12-13

This was a really good idea for a book, but it just doesn't deliver. Aside from the general annoyance of the cheap publishing and frequent typos, this book has no real structure or overarching argument ... if you read the last couple chapters you get more out of it than if you waste your time reading the whole thing. It's basically a mixture of biographies of everyone in the Braves organization and the author paraphrasing the words of others indiscriminately.

I am a huge admirer of the Braves organization and their genius, so I was disappointed to not glean very much info about their magic in this book. Every once in a while there is a real gem about the Braves' philosophies, but just reading the life story of Steve Avery teaches me nothing. The book gets pretty repetitive with this and much of it is skippable.

The Braves are an excellent foil to "Moneyball." This book certainly isn't.

"Me Too" kind of book.......2005-10-08

I recently went on vacation and chose this book to be the one that I read while sipping margarita's by the pool and wondering how my fantasy team was doing. The title and back cover intrigued me since I figured that it was a response to Moneyball. Although I lean more towards that side of the argument, I was curious to read a well-written counterpoint. Not a great choice.

The book is basically made up of chapters that select several Braves and looks at how they were drafted and how their progression through the minors went. In between thoughts or at the end of chapters, the author would throw in a line about how stats didn't mean anything when looking at Player X, it was all scouting. Well, maybe. But HOW? The author writes at length about Chipper Jones before he was drafted and shows how the Braves were trying to make a last ditch effort to convince Todd Van Poppel to sign. When they coudn't convince him they went for Chipper because he showed "toughness". Hellooo, he was the concensus #2 and the Braves still preferred Van Poppel. The Braves lucked into Chipper.

Chapter after chapter about each player was the same. Player X had skills, player wanted to play for Braves since he was a kid, Braves steal him in the draft, player makes the team or is used as trade bait. Nothing about the loads of players that every team drafts who amount to nothing. The secret, evidently, is to draft players who want to play for you. That's the one and only scouting tip that the book serves up over and over.

In the end, whether you agree with Moneyball or not, it was insightful into the "why" Beane et al think they way they do. Nothing here was explanatory, it was simply put out by someone upset at Moneyball who wanted to say "Me too!"

It gets two stars because all things baseball related deserve a read.

The Ledgend of Grizzilly Adams and Kodiak Jack.......2000-04-06

The Ledgend of Grizzily Adams and Kodiac Jack is a great book. I'm not one to read, I just never really liked it, but I got this book as a gift and I couldn't put it down. In fact I liked it so much that I read it a second time to pick up the details I missed the first time around. Grizzily Adams is a mountain man that moved from Boston MA, to California. While he's out there he makes friends and enimies. Most of his friends out in the wilderness are animals, like his pet bear Ben Franklin who he rescues from hunters after Ben's mother was shot at and left. This book has it all, action and some fact behind it since Grizzily Adams is a real person. I would recomend this book to anyone that likes the wood and enjoys books about men who opened up the west. Thomas L. Tedrow knows how to write a good book.
