Book Description
“An outstanding work … the [soccer] book of the decade.” —Sunday Business Post Inverting the Pyramid is a pioneering soccer book that chronicles the evolution of soccer tactics and the lives of the itinerant coaching geniuses who have spread their distinctive styles across the globe. Through Jonathan Wilson's brilliant historical detective work we learn how the South Americans shrugged off the British colonial order to add their own finesse to the game; how the Europeans harnessed individual technique and built it into a team structure; how the game once featured five forwards up front, while now a lone striker is not uncommon. Inverting the Pyramid provides a definitive understanding of the tactical genius of modern-day Barcelona, for the first time showing how their style of play developed from Dutch “Total Football,” which itself was an evolution of the Scottish passing game invented by Queens Park in the 1870s and taken on by Tottenham Hotspur in the 1930s. Inverting the Pyramid has been called the “Big Daddy” (Zonal Marking) of soccer tactics books; it is essential for any coach, fan, player, or fantasy manager of the beautiful game

Book Description
Europe’s pension systems –among the most celebrated features of its social welfare model— face tremendous challenges. With only 11 percent of the world’s population, Europe spends about 60 percent of global outlays on social protection, largely in pensions. In many countries, pension rules have encouraged people to retire sooner, while enjoying longer lives. Payroll taxes on a continuously expanding contributory base have financed these benefits. This model of pension provision is now being severely tested as pension systems reach maturity, while the population is aging and the labor force is starting to shrink. Measures to enable a continued tradition of providing old age security will include • raising retirement ages such that pensions are provided in the last 15 years of life, when work capacity traditionally diminishes • encouraging immigration to help fill the declining work force • rationalizing pension spending, putting priority on preventing old age poverty, and • encouraging savings to help provide the more comfortable retirement that individuals have come to expect. Some measures may be more appropriate in particular countries than others, yet undertaking all of them will likely require less drastic changes in any one of them. The specific choices will need to be discussed and agreed among each country’s own population, and be accompanied by enabling changes in pension policy, tax policy, financial markets policy, and labor policy. The fundamental issue is that, with these changes, the important achievements of European social policy can withstand the demographic onslaught and continue to provide old age security for generations to come.

There is no leadership: only effective management
Author: Jorge Vasconcelos e Sá
Publisher: Vida Economica Editorial
ISBN: 9727886019
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
A liderança é um tema atual de cuja importância se fala muito na presente crise portuguesa, europeia e mundial. Este novo livro de Vasconcellos e Sá demonstra que há um conceito errado do que é liderança recorrendo ao primeiro livro sobre o tema (de Xenophon sobre Ciro o grande, fundador do império Persa), à História (Chancellorsville que os militares chamam a batalha perfeita) e à prática dos melhores gestores do mundo (Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Andy Grove e Alfred Sloan). Usando estes exemplos o livro demonstra que ninguém pode liderar, sem ser um gestor efectivo: organizar, coordenar, pôr a pessoa certa no sítio certo, motivar e controlar. Só assim se produzem resultados. Daí o título: Não há liderança, só há gestão efectiva. Daí a importância da obra. E daí finalmente, a insatisfação (tão) geral com um tema (tão) central. Uma obra de grande interesse prático para gestores, empreendedores e líderes de empresas. A obra está escrita em Inglês.
