Book Description
Many investors ignore company accounts because they think they are too difficult. But, as the great investor Peter Lynch said "Investing without looking at the numbers is like playing bridge without looking at the cards."The mission of this book is to explain to ordinary investors, with no accounting knowledge, what to look for in a set of accounts and how to interpret what you find - so that you have an accurate 'health check' on a company in ten simple steps.Robert Leach considers the entire subject from an investor's point of view, by asking - and then answering - the questions which matter most. He also looks at the techniques which companies sometimes use to flatter their accounts, and shows how accounts for companies in different sectors have to be looked at differently.The 10 Crunch questions:1. Is the company growing?2. Are costs under control?3. Does it make a profit?4. How much cash does it have?5. Is its market value supported by assets?6. Is it using debt wisely?7. Are there any hidden nasties?8. Is management good enough?9. Can I expect a reliable income?10. Are there any threats to my interests?

Was this review helpful to you?
Highly Recommended!.......2001-08-07
Editor Alfred J. Walker briefly introduces the new Web-based technologies that are enabling human resource (HR) managers to operate more effectively. He then offers a series of 17 articles by different authors covering these new approaches. The topics covered include Web-based employee self-service, delivering employee benefits over the Web, creating an HR service center, outsourcing and using the Web for a variety of services, including recruiting, staffing, compensation planning, employee development and knowledge management. This specialized book will primarily interest HR professionals, top executives and information technology professionals involved in setting up HR information systems. Since HR professionals are attuned to human failings, we [...] trust they will forgive the book's occasional information overlaps - hard to avoid with a collection of articles by different authors - and frequently return to this solid and specifically useful book.
Book Description
Building on the success of the first edition, Christopher Mabey and Graeme Salaman are joined by John Storey in producing an even more comprehensive and thoroughly revised textbook. Human Resource Management: A Strategic Introduction builds on readers' prior knowledge of managing people in organizations by introducing the possibilities and difficulties of managing human resources and orchestrating change in a more strategic manner.A series of strategic HR prescriptions and ideas is examined and evaluated conceptually, theoretically and practically to assess their value in different organizational contexts:The practice of HRS - the distinctive contribution of HR practices is located and evaluated.The experience of HRS - where possible experiences of HR interventions are documented.The concept of HRS - a range of conceptualized approaches are appraisedThe polemic of HRS - where necessary the roots as well as the current rhetoric of HRS are explored.Human Resource Management: A Strategic Introduction reviews the potential contribution of HRM to the arena of strategic decision-making and draws conclusions concerning the 'status' of HRS and HR theorising in the new millennium.
