A Primer On Corporate Governance: Mexico

A Primer On Corporate Governance: Mexico

$28.99

Mexico is a land inhabited by several indigenous civilizations and was conquered by Spain in 1521. The country is mostly a racial mix between the Spanish and native cultures. It is a traditionalist society where family, religion, and culture play a key role. The role of the marketplace is constrained by the government and local interest groups such as unions, political parties, commerce chambers, and private firms. The market for corporate control is scarce. Corporate governance codes are voluntary.
Corporate ownership is concentrated with few institutional investors. Shareholder activism is uncommon. Corporate boards are single tier in nature. CEO duality is common practice. Boards are made mostly of insiders and shareholder representatives. Independent board members hold minority stakes.
This book starts by describing the macro context in which Mexico is embedded. We then focus on its corporate governance system: laws, regulatory bodies, code of good governance, stock market and the peculiarities of local business groups. The central part of the book summarizes key characteristics of board structure and networks in the country. The book ends with interviews of two well-known directors and suggestions to move the governance field forward in Mexico.

How to Take Action for Successful Performance Management : A Pragmatic Constructivist Approach

How to Take Action for Successful Performance Management : A Pragmatic Constructivist Approach

$28.99

This book is intended for practitioners, students, and researchers who are interested in designing, using, assessing, and researching performance management systems. Managerial personnel involved in such activity will hold many beliefs about how their organization functions. This text uses the philosophy of pragmatic constructivism to show how managerial beliefs that underlie action can be made explicit and so facilitate their assessment and improvement. This involves recognizing and integrating the four dimensions (facts, possibilities, values, and communication) that represent how managers relate to the real- ity in which they operate. When managerial beliefs are based on an accurate representation of reality, they are more likely to be successful. Problems occur where reality is misrepresented in managerial beliefs. This is especially so in performance management, as the book illustrates using real-world examples.
Specific topics addressed include planning and decision making, performance management of investment center managers, strategic performance management, and operational performance management.

Chief Kickboxing Officer: Applying the Fight Mentality to Business Success

Chief Kickboxing Officer: Applying the Fight Mentality to Business Success

$28.99

“Chief Kickboxing Officer is not a book about fighting your way to the top of the corporate ladder. It’s about applying the visceral, tactical lessons of martial artistry to the way we think and the way we interact with people.” –Jonathan Clements, author of A Brief History of the Martial Arts and The Art of War: A New Translation

Business and fighting are two sides of the same coin.

Every businessperson engages everyday in small acts of negotiation and conflict; understanding what characterizes our conduct, and what are its strengths and weakness, will help us develop more effective relationships.

Chief Kickboxing Officer shows how the fighting and business mind sets cross over in this process of discovery and, in particular, what lessons can be learned from a highly refined and scientific type of fighting system: the martial arts. By looking at four types of behavioral and leadership styles and mapping each of them onto a martial art, this book allows the readers to learn lessons best suited to their personality.

  • Formal and proactive types that align with the martial art of karate.
  • Formal and responsive types that align with the martial art of judo.
  • Informal and proactive types that align with the martial art of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
  • Informal and responsive types that align with the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).
