Whether switching companies, transitioning fields, or launching entrepreneurial ventures, they reveal proactive steps for figuring out the rules of the corporate chess game. Mastering the Corporate Chess Game will benefit young professionals eager to understand workplace dynamics, forge meaningful connections, and build collaborative teams.

The Anatomy of Corporate Law - Paul A. Davies, Gerard Hertig, Wolf-Georg Ringe, Reinier Kraakman, Mariana Pargendler, Luca Enriques, Klaus Hopt,

This is the long-awaited third edition of this highly regarded comparative overview of corporate law. This edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to reflect the profound changes in corporate law and governance practices that have taken place since the previous edition. These include numerous regulatory changes following the financial crisis of 2007-09 and the changing landscape of governance, especially in the US, with the ever more central role of institutional investors as (active) owners of corporations. The geographic scope of the coverage has been broadened to include an important emerging economy, Brazil. In addition, the book now incorporates analysis of the burgeoning use of corporate law to protect the interests of external constituencies without any contractual relationship to a company, in an attempt to tackle broader social and economic problems. The authors start from the premise that corporations (or companies) in all jurisdictions share the same key legal attributes: legal personality, limited liability, delegated management, transferable shares, and investor ownership. Businesses using the corporate form give rise to three basic types of agency problems: those between managers and shareholders as a class; controlling shareholders and minority shareholders; and shareholders as a class and other corporate constituencies, such as corporate creditors and employees. After identifying the common set of legal strategies used to address these agency problems and discussing their interaction with enforcement institutions, The Anatomy of Corporate Law illustrates how a number of core jurisdictions around the world deploy such strategies. In so doing, the book highlights the many commonalities across jurisdictions and reflects on the reasons why they may differ on specific issues. The analysis covers the basic governance structure of the corporation, including the powers of the board of directors and the shareholder meeting, both when management and when a dominant shareholder is in control. It then analyses the role of corporate law in shaping labor relationships, protection of external stakeholders, relationships with creditors, related-party transactions, fundamental corporate actions such as mergers and charter amendments, takeovers, and the regulation of capital markets. The Anatomy of Corporate Law has established itself as the leading book in the field of comparative corporate law. Across the world, students and scholars at various stages in their careers, from undergraduate law students to well-established authorities in the field, routinely consult this book as a starting point for their inquiries.

The Murder Game - John Curran

From The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to Magpie Murders, and related diversions including cryptic crosswords and Cainâ ™s Jawbone, The Murder Game examines the games authors played with their readers and the importance of puzzles in Golden Age whodunits.With books flourishing in the 1920s and â ™30s like never before, no genre was more innovative or popular than detective fiction. It was an era that saw the emergence of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen and dozens of other authors who became household names for a generation of readers.The Golden Age of Detection has enjoyed a great resurgence of interest in recent years, with publishers mining back catalogues to bring the best of yesteryear to very receptive new audiences. What is it about a literary movement that took off in the 1920s that still appeals to book lovers in the 2020s?In this authoritative new study, John Curran reveals that it is the ludic qualities of classic crime fiction that continue to intrigue. At its heart is the â ˜whodunitâ ™ game between writer and reader, but there is also the game between detective and murderer, between publisher and book-buyer, even between the writers themselves.Coinciding with an increase in leisure time and literacy, the Golden Age also saw the development of the crossword, the growth of bridge and Mahjong, the enduring popularity of jigsaws and the emergence of Cluedo â “ all activities requiring the â ˜little grey cellsâ ™. The Murder Game considers all of these, and many other sporting and competitive recreations, helping to explain the reading publicâ ™s ongoing love affair with the Golden Age.

Timothy Gallwey teams up with two esteemed physicians to present an invaluable guide for managing everyday stress. Gallwey explains how negative self-talk undermines us and leaves us feeling helpless and unhappy—and he shows that we have the means to build a shield against stress using our abilities to take childlike pleasure in learning new skills, which can help us rest, relax, and trust our own judgement. With his trademark mix of case histories and interactive worksheets, Gallwey helps us tap into our inner strengths with these practical tools:• the STOP technique: Learn how to Step back, Think, Organize, and Proceed with a more conscious choice process, even in the most chaotic circumstances.• the Attitude tool: If you’re feeling resentment, try gratitude.• the Magic Pen: Develop the ability to open up your intuition and wisdom.• the Transpose exercise: Imagine what the other person thinks, feels, wants—and develop empathy, kindness, and better relationship skills.• the PLE triangle: Use your goals for Performance, Learning, and Experience to redefine success and enhance enjoyment.You don’t have to be an athlete to keep your life in perspective and your performance at its peak. A one-of-a kind guide, The Inner Game of Stress allows anyone to get in the game and win.
