Work rules! : insights from inside Google that will transform how you live and lead / by Bock, Laszlo,author.(CARDINAL)408440;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 377-396) and index.Preface: a guidance counselor's nightmare -- Why Google's rules will work for you -- Becoming a founder -- "Culture eats strategy for breakfast" -- Lake Wobegon, where all the new hires are above average -- Searching for the best -- Don't trust your gut -- Let the inmates run the asylum -- Why everyone hates performance management, and what we decided to do about it -- The two tails -- Building a learning institution -- Pay unfairly -- The best things in life are free (or almost free) -- Nudge a lot -- It's not all rainbows and unicorns -- What you can do starting tomorrow -- Afterword for HR geeks only: building the world's first people operations team.""We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. It's not right that the experience of work should be so demotivating and dehumanizing." So says Laszlo Bock, head of People Operations at the company that transformed how the world interacts with knowledge. This insight is the heart of WORK RULES!, a compelling and surprisingly playful manifesto with the potential to change how we work and live. Drawing on the latest research in behavioral economics and with a profound grasp of human psychology, Bock also provides teaching examples from a range of industries -- including companies that are household names but hideous places to work, and little-known companies that achieve spectacular results by valuing and listening to their employees. Bock takes us inside one of history's most explosively successful businesses to reveal why Google is consistently rated one of the best places to work in the world, distilling 15 years of intensive worker R&D into delightfully counterintuitive principles that are easy to put into action, whether you're a team of one or a team of thousands. Cleaving the knot of conventional management, some lessons from WORK RULES! include: Take away managers' power over employees Learn from your best employees - and your worst Only hire people who are smarter than you are, no matter how long it takes to find them Pay unfairly (it's fairer!) Don't trust your gut: use data to predict and shape the future Default to open: be transparent, and welcome feedback If you're comfortable with the amount of freedom you've given your employees, you haven't gone far enough WORK RULES! shows how to strike a balance between creativity and structure, leading to success you can measure in quality of life as well as market share. Read it to build a better company from within rather than from above; read it to reawaken your joy in what you do. "--Provided by publisher.

Still broke : Walmart's remarkable transformation and the limits of socially conscious capitalism / by Wartzman, Rick,author.(CARDINAL)349164;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-244) and index."Fifteen years ago, Walmart was the most controversial company in America. By offering incredibly low prices, it had come to dominate the retail landscape. But with this dominance came a suite of ethical concerns. Walmart was accused of wiping out of mom-and-pop businesses across the country; ruthlessly pressuring suppliers to cut costs, even if it meant closing up U.S. factories and moving production overseas; and, above all, not taking adequate care of its own employees, who were paid so little that many wound up on public assistance. Today, while Walmart remains America's largest employer, the picture is very different. It has become an environmental leader among businesses, its starting wage has risen from $7.25 to $12, and employee benefits have improved. Walmart has joined a number of major corporations that say they are dedicated to practicing a new, socially conscious form of capitalism. In Still Broke, award-winning author Rick Wartzman goes inside the company's transformation, showing in novelistic detail how the company has gotten to where it is. Yet he also asks a critical question: is it enough? With a still-simmering public debate around the minimum wage and widespread movements by workers demanding better treatment, how far will $12 an hour go in today's economy? Or even $15? Or Walmart's average wage, which now hovers above $16-but, even so, doesn't pencil out to so much as $35,000 a year for a fulltime worker? In the richest nation on earth, how did the bar get set so low? How did America find itself relying on an army of low-wage workers without ever acknowledging their most basic needs? And if Walmart's brand of change is the best we have, how can we ever expect to build a healthy society? With unparalleled access to the key executives and change-makers at Walmart, Still Broke does more than document a remarkable business makeover. It interrogates the role of business in American life, and asks what the future of our economy and country can be-and whose job it is to make it" --

Business school and the noble purpose of the market : correcting the systemic failures of shareholder capitalism / by Hoffman, Andrew J.,1961-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Business schools are broken : it's time to fix them -- The implications for students -- The role of faculty and administrators -- The coming end of shareholder capitalism -- Bringing Adam Smith into the present : reexamining the fundamentals of capitalism -- Alternative capitalisms around the world -- The purpose of the firm : it's not to make shareholders rich, it's to serve customers and society -- How money corrupts healthy government and democracy : why the corporation is not a "natural person" -- The necessary and constructive role of business in policymaking ... And the need for guardrails -- The necessary and constructive role of the government in the market : not more or less government, the right level of government -- Outdated business school principles and concepts : efficiency, value, prosperity, and metrics -- The noble calling of business and business education."Today's business schools were designed for a world that no longer exists. That world elevated the primacy of shareholder profits above the interests of employees, the environment, and society; viewed government as an intrusion on the free market rather than an arbiter of its proper functioning; and promoted unlimited economic growth despite the devastating environmental and economic consequences. And yet, the past 150 years of capitalism can be credited with raising the standard of living for millions of people by increasing the world economy by a factor of 14, tripling the global per capita income, extending average life expectancy by almost two-thirds and decreasing the number or people living in extreme poverty from 56% in 1920 to 10% today. Business School and the Noble Purpose of the Market explains how b-school students, faculty, and administrators can think differently and hopefully about reforming capitalism and the global marketplace, starting with business school education. Eminent business scholar Andrew J. Hoffman describes how students and faculty can adapt, and develop the skills, knowledge and wisdom business leaders need now to deal with planetary challenges such as climate change, widening income inequality, and social unrest. Gen Z b-school students see the problems with neoliberal capitalism, they care about climate change and inequality, and they are more values-driven than previous generations. The book will inspire them to use their business education and career to align with their values. For faculty and administrators who also have a sense of "management as a calling" the book offers an inspiring program for reinventing business school curriculum, and turning the power of business and the global market toward a constructive new role in society"--
