Inside Organizational Culture: Theory and Practice

$34.99

Inside Organizational Culture: Theory and Practice is a foundational resource designed for undergraduate and MBA students, as well as organizational leaders seeking a clear, comprehensive understanding of how culture shapes today’s organizations.

Drawing on extensive research and deep expertise, the book explores how culture operates inside organizations—how it is defined, modelled, measured, and managed. The book offers an in-depth examination of the leading definitions, conceptual frameworks and analytical models used by scholars and practitioners to understand organizational culture. It also breaks down the key dimensions through which culture is expressed and perceived, such as communication, power structures, decision-making norms and rituals.

Beyond the theoretical foundation, Inside Organizational Culture provides a rigorous introduction to the internal and external determinants that shape culture—from leadership and strategy to social norms and national context. With a strong emphasis on management practice, it guides organizational leaders on how to recognize cultural dynamics, implement culture-shaping interventions and align culture with ethical values and strategic objectives.

In addition to the book’s appeal for adoption in courses for advanced business students, the features included in the book are also suitable for corporate training and executive education programs.

Now to Next: The Art & Science of Strategic Leadership

Now to Next: The Art & Science of Strategic Leadership

$34.99

Strategy doesn’t fail for lack of planning, rather fails when leaders cannot convert insight into advantage before conditions change. Now to Next reframes strategy as a dynamic leadership discipline, placing the strategic leader at the center providing vision, planning, mobilization, and execution.

Between NOW and NEXT lies a fluid landscape shaped by disruption, competition, technology, politics, and human behavior. Leaders who succeed read patterns early, make disciplined choices, mobilize people with purpose, and build agility into execution.

Building on his award-winning book, Leading from the Top: Presidential Lessons in Issues Management, which examines how pressure exposes gaps in strategy, alignment, and judgment, Dennis M. Powell draws on historical narrative to reveal how leaders navigate complexity, act decisively, and move strategy forward with clarity and speed to achieve NEXT across eras.

The book is a resource that strengthens the skills of experienced leaders and accelerates the growth of those preparing to lead.

Boost Product Sales and Build a Profitable New Revenue Stream with Your Own In-House Equipment Leasing & Financing Operation

This book explains how companies that sell equipment and other products can significantly increase sales while creating a powerful new profit center by establishing their own in-house leasing and financing operation. Industry data shows that the need for equipment financing has evolved dramatically—today, nine out of ten U.S. companies rely on leasing or third-party financing to acquire essential equipment. For growth-oriented companies, offering in-house financing is no longer optional; it is a highly effective sales strategy that can materially improve close rates and overall competitiveness.

Historically, building an in-house financing platform was complex, costly, and required specialized expertise, infrastructure, and capital. That barrier has largely been removed. Recent advancements in financing technology, software platforms, and third-party service providers now allow companies to implement and manage financing programs far more efficiently and cost-effectively. Businesses can outsource or streamline key operational components while maintaining control over the customer relationship and economics.

This new edition of Equipment Leasing and Financing provides a complete, practical roadmap for product vendors evaluating and implementing an in-house financing strategy. It delivers clear guidance on assessing feasibility, structuring programs, managing risk, and operating a scalable, profitable financing platform that supports sales growth while generating incremental revenue.

Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, or product seller, this book equips you with the strategic and operational tools needed to turn financing into a competitive advantage and a consistent source of profit.
