Book Description
Create and capture value, no matter what path you've chosen. How to Create Joint Value Alliances, partnerships, acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures are no longer the exception in most businesses—they are part of the core strategy. As managers look to external partners for resources and capabilities, they need a practical roadmap to ensure that these relationships will create value for their firm. They must answer questions like these: Which business combinations do we need? How should we govern them? Will their results justify our investments? Benjamin Gomes-Casseres explains how companies create value by “remixing” resources with other companies. Based on decades of consulting and academic research, Remix Strategy shows how three laws shape the success of any business combination: • First Law: The combination must have the potential to create more value than the parties could create on their own. Which elements from each business need to be combined to create joint value? • Second Law: The combination must be designed and managed to realize the joint value. Which partners best fit our strategic goals? How should we manage the integration? • Third Law: The value earned by the parties must motivate them to contribute to the collaboration. How will we share the joint value created? Will the returns shift over time? Supported by examples from a wide range of industries and companies, and filled with practical tools for applying the three laws, this book helps managers design and lead a coherent strategy for creating joint value with outside partners.

Carpenters
Author: Mike Cidoni Lennox

ISBN: 164896091X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Introduction by Richard Carpenter The definitive biography of one of the most enduring and endeared recording artists in history—the Carpenters—is told for the first time from the perspective of Richard Carpenter, through more than 100 hours of exclusive interviews and some 200 photographs from Richard's personal archive, many never published. After becoming multimillion-selling, Grammy-winning superstars with their 1970 breakthrough hit "(They Long to Be) Close to You," Richard and Karen Carpenter would win over millions of fans worldwide with a record-breaking string of hits including "We've Only Just Begun," "Top of the World," and "Yesterday Once More." By 1975, success was taking its toll. Years of jam-packed work schedules, including hundreds of concert engagements, proved to be just too much for the Carpenters to keep the hits coming—and, ultimately, to keep the music playing at all. However, Richard and Karen never took their adoring public, or each other, for granted. In Carpenters: The Musical Legacy, Richard Carpenter tells his story for the first time. With candor, heart, and humor, he sheds new light on the Carpenters' trials and triumphs—work that remains the gold standard for melodic pop. This beautifully illustrated definitive biography, with exclusive interviews and never-before-seen photographs, is a must-have for any Carpenters fan.

Remix
Author: Lawrence Lessig
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9781594201721
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The reigning authority on intellectual property in the Internet age, Lawrence Lessig spotlights the newest and possibly the most harmful culture war - a war waged against those who create and consume art. America's copyright laws have ceased to perform their original, beneficial role: protecting artists' creations while allowing them to build on previous creative works. In fact, our system now criminalizes those very actions. Remix is an urgent, eloquent plea to end a war that harms every intrepid, creative user of new technologies. It also offers an inspiring vision of the postwar world where enormous opportunities await those who view art as a resource to be shared openly rather than a commodity to be hoarded.

The Struggle for Justice and Truth

Publisher: Tomas Cudzis
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 983
Book Description
This book is a collection of all four parts of The Struggle for Justice and Truth book series by Tomas Cudzis, a fan fiction work dedicated as a tribute to the Linkin Park music band, from which songs the author’s inspiration has come. The goal being, it should look like Linkin Park were making the soundtrack for the book, not the other way around. Note: This book only includes references to the songs that should be played with each section for an enhanced experience, It doesn’t contain any of the songs referenced in itself, and it’s purely optional for the reader to gain access to those songs at their own expense. As use of those songs is purely experimental, it doesn’t guarantee improved experience compared to merely reading this book, although test readers did find it most helpful. Synopsis: Tomas’s sense of inferiority since his childhood has forced him to transform himself physically, becoming the underground king of illegal MMA fights in the heart of Hong Kong. After an unfortunate incident involving the Triads, he is forced into hiding in the United States, where he is actively hunted by them and others. Realizing he has no other choice, he takes on the Triads by himself in his last attempt for freedom, or vengeance. To his surprise, he survives, with the help of a top-secret US agency, enlisting in their ranks and together taking on criminals considered to be untouchable. However, with the ever-increasing body count at Tomas’s hands, he realizes he can’t handle the emotional trauma and doesn’t like what he is turning into. Determined to break the chain and leave his old life behind, Tomas finds himself sucked right back into it every single time he tries, leaving him feeling hopeless fighting a fight that he considers pointless. “I don’t know. It can’t be outfought, it can’t be outdone, it can’t be outrun. It’s just the way it is. There is no justice, except the one that is paid for in blood or money. I don’t have money.” In his personal struggle for justice and truth, convinced that the current government is becoming more and more dystopian with every passing day, he pushes to find out the truth against all odds, in hopes that it will finally bring him inner peace stopping worldwide growing tyranny.

Pages : 221
Book Description
This fourth edition was prepared in 2015-2016 as a supplementary text for a graduate music cataloging course. This edition is rewritten to a large extent to conform to the new instructions and paradigms represented in Resource Description and Access (RDA). RDA instructions for printed music, recorded music and music video are accompanied by advice, examples, illustrations and complete catalog records, including versions in MARC21 format. Consistent with RDA, the chapter on form and choice of access points found in earlier editions is gone, replaced with a chapter on authorized access points. The concept of “uniform title” has evolved into the concept of the “preferred title,” as part of an authorized access point, which might require manipulation and addition of some elements for disambiguation and collocation. Only three chapters are used for description of printed music, sound recordings and video recordings. Many of the older LP examples were removed as were VHS video recordings. Multimedia packages are now rare in the marketplace, but streaming audio and video are quite evident so examples now include those media. Facsimile examples from the third edition have been retained and many new examples have been added. Most catalogers today are using RDA in combination with MARC21. Accordingly, in an appendix, we have rendered each example in MARC21 format using the OCLC Connexion approach to MARC21 record formatting.A lengthy bibliography in earlier editions has been replaced by a brief list in the introduction, with pointers to online resources that are both current and constantly updated by working catalogers.
