Hardback. Zustand: Good. Can the concept of "Spiritual Capital" actually ensure a company's success?Critics of capitalism view big businesses as insatiable masters of the universe with little regard for the public. They label those who create wealth as greedy, malicious, and unscrupulous. Doing Virtuous Business answers these charges head-on. In this insightful and original book, Theodore Roosevelt Malloch presents the bold idea that the creation of wealth by virtuous means is the most important thing that can be done for society.Doing Virtuous Business explains the true purpose of business and illuminates the connection between a free economy and religious liberty.  Drawing from the notion of "social capital," which has been developed by generations of scholars, Malloch adds the concept of "spiritual capital" as a foundation for social progress and also a necessity for responsible and successful enterprise. He details the virtues that sustain a business and a free market?virtues that build up a network of trust, which is critical to the global economy.Malloch reveals that a company's soul determines its "spiritual capital," an equally imperative foundation to success.  From Wal-Mart to IBM, Malloch demonstrates how companies that operate on ethical models informed by spiritual traditions have outperformed their competitors.  This book is a welcome moral defense of free enterprise and a sensible guide for achieving the ideal of virtuous business. Besides making the world a better place, Malloch argues, virtuous enterprise makes companies far more successful and profitable than they otherwise would be. He presents case studies of virtuous business in the Judeo-Christian tradition as well as statistical analysis demonstrating how companies that operate on ethical models have outperformed their competitors over the long run.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book presents, as a how-to guide, a compelling methodology for improving the operational and financial performance of a firm. The book focuses on the optimum utilization of capital assets and human resources to support the firm's business strategy and, therefore, gain a competitive advantage. It complements publications on the Balanced Scorecard by providing rather detailed sets of performance metrics applicable to Supply Chain, Customer Relationship Management, and Intellectual Capital improvement efforts. Managers involved in business improvement programs will benefit from the development of performance metrics for intellectual capital. MBA students will find especially useful the concise description of the best practices and issues affecting enterprise performance today. Reviews Finally, consideration for non-financial assets handled in a non-financial manner. A coming together of several current management concepts, along with a way to measure and evaluate their value to the company. A useful reference for building, implementing and evaluating a plan of improved efficiency. L. Sehr RA/AVP, Bank of America, San Jose, California This book provides a good overview of important financial and process redesign concepts that can influence business performance. This resource covers a broad range of ideas from continuous improvement, business strategies, balanced scorecards and value measurement tools. Non-financial persons will find this especially helpful, as information is presented in a non-technical manner, a quick read and intuitively links each idea or concept. David Bell Senior Manager, Guidant, Inc., Santa Clara, California The High Performance Enterprise is written in a very readable and concise language. The authors manage to explain in a very direct way the relationship between enterprise high performance and each of the four steps to achieving it; all this, without getting bogged down with the details on specific techniques and practices that are generally known in the industry. The discussion stays focused on the importance of metrics and simulation and their link to overall financial/accounting concepts that gauge the value of the enterprise and its performance. Because the book touches on, and gives examples of, all major functional aspects of an enterprise, I would recommend it for use in an undergraduate strategic management or capstone course in business administration program. The book would be particularly useful in an MBA course. George Guim Ed.D. Head of Business Administration Department The National Hispanic University, San Jose, California.…

An alien probe of unknown origin launches an assault on Earth; an attack so devastating that Enterprise is recalled from her voyage of exploration to help with Earth's defence. During the journey home, Captain Jonathan Archer receives intelligence that the origin of the probe is a little-known region of space called the Delphic Expanse. Vulcan Ambassador Soval informs Archer that the Delphic Expanse is notorious for bizarre occurrences, and few ships that enter it are ever seen again. Believing there will be a second attack, Archer convinces Starfleet to let him take Enterprise into the Delphic Expanse to seek out this mysterious new enemy.
