Changing
the Game- |
| Organizational
Transformations of the First, Second, and Third Kinds |
By:
Dr. Eric G. Flamholtz and Dr. Yvonne Randle
Oxford
University Press |
| How
do companies like Microsoft and Wal-Mart rise to the top of their industries
and dominate year after year, while others like People Express and LA Gear
burn out after promising starts? Eric Flamholtz and Yvonne Randle reveal
that the key to success lies in how you transform your organization.
Virtually all
organizations face critical transition points in their life cycle, when
they must change how they play the game, or perish. Changing the Game
pinpoints three decisive make-or-break periods: the move from entrepreneurial
to professional management, when a firm reaches a stage of growth where
it can no longer operate in an informal, unstructured way; the revitalization
of an established business that is losing ground to competitors; and a
radical change in the business's vision.
Changing
the Game provides a comprehensive framework and a set of tools for
the strategic management of organizational transformations. It will help
managers meet the challenges of an increasingly competitive business environment. |

| How
a manager faces career challenges may be predetermined by a game that no
one is aware that they are even playing, The Inner Game of Management.
In defining the nature of this game, Eric G. Flamholtz and Yvonne Randle
reveal the process through which you, as a manager, deal with your own
psychological needs in making crucial business decisions.
Drawing on the
experiences from managers in real organizations, Flamholtz and Randle bring
to life constructive, concrete techniques for making the critical transition
to a position of new responsibility and power. The Inner Game of Management
provides positive and useful insight on that pivotal moment when an unsuccessful
experience can become a pattern for failure or an opportunity for growth. |

Human
Resource Accounting- |
| By:
Dr. Eric G. Flamholtz |
| ManagementSystems
Consulting Corporation |
| This
new edition of the landmark work on human resource accounting has been
substantially revised to reflect the current state of the field through
the late 1990s. The economies of many nations are increasingly dominated
by knowledge- or information-based sectors driven by highly trained and
specialized personnel. If human capital is a key determinant for organizational
success, then investment in the training and development of employees to
improve performance is a critical component of this success. This phenomenon
underscores a growing need for measuring and analyzing human capital when
making managerial and financial decisions. Human resource accounting is
a managerial tool that can be used to gain valuable information by measuring
the costs of recruiting, hiring, compensating and training employees and
it can be used to evaluate employee training programs, increase productivity,
and improve managerial decision-making regarding promotions, transfers,
layoffs, replacement and turnover. The third edition presents the current
state of the art of human resource accounting by (1) examining the concepts
and methods of accounting for people as human resources; (2) explaining
the present and potential uses of human resource accounting for human resource
managers, line managers and investors; (3) describing the research, experiments
and applications of human resource accounting in organizations; (4) considering
the steps involved in developing a human resource accounting system; and
(5) discussing some of the remaining aspects of human resource accounting
that require further research. |
