The Latinos of Asia
Author: Anthony Christian Ocampo
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804797579
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This “ groundbreaking book . . . is essential reading not only for the Filipino diaspora but for anyone who cares about the mysteries of racial identity” (Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist). Is race only about the color of your skin? In The Latinos of Asia, Anthony Christian Ocampo shows that what “color” you are depends largely on your social context. Filipino Americans, for example, helped establish the Asian American movement and are classified by the US Census as Asian. But the legacy of Spanish colonialism in the Philippines means that they share many cultural characteristics with Latinos, such as last names, religion, and language. Thus, Filipinos’ “color” —their sense of connection with other racial groups—changes depending on their social context. The Filipino story demonstrates how immigration is changing the way people negotiate race, particularly in cities like Los Angeles where Latinos and Asians now constitute a collective majority. Amplifying their voices, Ocampo illustrates how second-generation Filipino Americans’ racial identities change depending on the communities they grow up in, the schools they attend, and the people they befriend. Ultimately, The Latinos of Asia offers a window into both the racial consciousness of everyday people and the changing racial landscape of American society.

The Way to Rainy Mountain
Author: N. Scott Momaday
Publisher: UNM Press
ISBN: 082632696X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
First published in paperback by UNM Press in 1976, The Way to Rainy Mountain has sold over 200,000 copies. "The paperback edition of The Way to Rainy Mountain was first published twenty-five years ago. One should not be surprised, I suppose, that it has remained vital, and immediate, for that is the nature of story. And this is particularly true of the oral tradition, which exists in a dimension of timelessness. I was first told these stories by my father when I was a child. I do not know how long they had existed before I heard them. They seem to proceed from a place of origin as old as the earth. "The stories in The Way to Rainy Mountain are told in three voices. The first voice is the voice of my father, the ancestral voice, and the voice of the Kiowa oral tradition. The second is the voice of historical commentary. And the third is that of personal reminiscence, my own voice. There is a turning and returning of myth, history, and memoir throughout, a narrative wheel that is as sacred as language itself."--from the new Preface

Mastering the Merger
Author: David Harding
Publisher: Harvard Business Press
ISBN: 9781422163405
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Today's corporate deal makers face a conundrum: Though 70% of major acquisitions fail, it's nearly impossible to build a world-class company without doing deals. In Mastering the Merger, David Harding and Sam Rovit argue that a laserlike focus on just four key imperatives--before executives finalize the deal--can dramatically improve the odds of M&A success. Based on more than 30 years of in-the-trenches work on thousands of deals across a range of industries--and supplemented by extensive Bain & Co. research--Harding and Rovit reveal that the best M&A performers channel their efforts into (1) targeting deals that advance the core business; (2) determining which deals to close and when to walk away; (3) identifying where to integrate--and where not to; and (4) developing contingency plans for when deals inevitably stray. Top deal makers also favor a succession of smaller deals over complex "megamergers"--and essentially institutionalize a success formula over time. Helping executives zero in on what matters most in the complex world of M&A, Mastering the Merger offers a blueprint for the decisions and strategies that will beat the odds.

Voices of Innovation - Payers
Author: Edward W. Marx
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040041426
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
As the health delivery landscape in the United States evolves in a post-COVID-19 era, both incumbents and new entrants are reimagining models of care. Technology and medical advancements are transforming the way care is delivered and experienced, and changes in regulations and incentives across the industry are redefining how the healthcare system works and interacts. As a result, care delivery is undergoing several transformations: from sick care to preventative whole-person care, from intermittent to continuous care, from facility-based settings to omnichannel offerings through virtual care and video or telephonic technologies, and from standardized to personalized solutions. In addition to healthcare providers, payers are also redefining their role in care delivery through provider ownership, technology, and provider enablement to deliver higher-value care to members. While the payer community has been slow to innovate, they now have an opportunity and an incentive to play an active role in reimagining the future of care delivery. In the past year alone, significant disruptors have entered the provider space threatening the existence of payers, specifically self-funded programs such as Amazon and Walmart. This has served as a giant wake-up call that healthcare has shifted. Now, more than ever, there is an emphasis on the patient and clinician experience. Perhaps hastened by the pandemic, the race is on for innovations from the payer community to improve patient and provider engagement. Unlike other players, payers have end-to-end visibility into individual care needs and utilization patterns across providers and settings. This perspective can provide informed choices around optimal care models, unlock value through improved health outcomes, and lower the total cost of care for members and customers. This book is loaded with numerous case studies and interviews with healthcare leaders from the payer community, helping stakeholders understand how to leverage innovation leading them to superior business and clinical outcomes. The book also discusses how and why data is key to innovation activities and how partnerships are key to using data effectively.
