Sports clubs and voluntary organisations, in many cases, have become large and complex entities with strong membership numbers and significant budgets. Yet they are still operated by people who are essentially volunteers and, although they do so with the best motivations, far too often they are not equipped to deal with many of the areas in which they are involved. "IT’S YOUR CLUB!", based on many years of practical experience of club committees, boards of directors and national councils, addresses many of the situations that cause problems for the officers of such clubs. It covers all aspects of the administration that supports the operation of the various functions of the club, explaining aspects of committees and their roles, the roles of the main officers, the importance of governance, the advantages of strategic planning, how leadership and management play different roles and how current legislation, such as child protection, affects the modern voluntary organisation. The political, economic and social environment in which sports clubs now operate has changed significantly and clubs need to adapt to ensure that they not only survive but are equipped to facilitate change and further development. IT’S YOUR CLUB! provides the definitive text on the leadership and management of sports clubs and will give club officers the confidence to make decisions vital to their club’s viability.

Gold is money, and its durability, density, consistency and limited new supplies have resulted in it being the only currency to have acted as a true store of value over the millennia. This booklet was written by Rory Gillen, founder of GillenMarkets and author of "3 Steps to Investment Success", published in 2012. It outlines the physical characteristics of gold that underpin its use as jewellery and, more recently, in complex industrial applications. As gold yields no income, it cannot be valued in a conventional sense, so the booklet offers guidance on how to judge gold’s intrinsic value and how one can value gold relative to other hard assets such as US house prices. The booklet also introduces you to three separate and highly useful technical indicators that provide a risk-controlled way of determining when gold is worth buying. All three indicators have outperformed a ‘Buy & Hold’ gold strategy since 1968 by wide margins. Finally, there’s a discussion on the merits or otherwise of bitcoin, which some argue is the new digital gold.

The potential for above average returns has always made private equity an attractive subsector of financial markets with investors gaining access to specialised managers who build portfolios of private companies. In Ireland, investors’ principal way of gaining exposure to private equity has been through international private equity funds distributed by local stockbrokers, which tend to have significant minimum investment amounts and long-term lock-in periods, making access difficult for retail investors. However, there is an attractive alternative option: investing in high-quality, liquid private equity funds listed on the London Stock Exchange that have historically delivered attractive returns, allowing investors to avoid the high minimum investment levels, long-term lock-in periods and onerous upfront fees. This booklet, written by Jonathan Yates, research analyst at GillenMarkets, is aimed at providing readers with an overview of private equity investing, including the main characteristics, historical returns, the specifics of the UK listed private equity sector and the key risks investors must be aware of when investing in private equity.

"THE CUSTOMER IS THE PLANET" is a blend of inspiration and education. Based on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, it aims to equip changemakers in business with the knowledge to make better choices; educate and entice others to become changemakers; empower individuals in companies who want to be changemakers to know what to do to make better (more sustainable) choices for their organisations, as individuals, in their employee groups, in their operations and supply chains, and for their customers and products. It explains the why, what, so what, of the problem or opportunity in each key area of sustainability; followed by deep expertise, knowledge and guidance that grows awareness, increases desire to change, and equips the reader to take action, measure, report and improve.  

If you have picked up this book to read, it’s likely that you’re a Dealer Principal or senior line manager in a motor dealership. So, straight off, three questions for you: What’s your dealership’s net profitability? How does that compare to other dealerships locally / nationally? Do you want / need to improve your dealership’s overall performance? Whatever your answers to the first two questions, if your answer to the third is “Yes”, then this book is for you. In DRIVING DEALEARSHIP PROFIT, Mike Finlay presents the most important KPIs that he uses to run his business and shows how they can improve your business. He also shares systems, processes and innovations that you can adopt to directly impact those KPIs. These practices have delivered – and continue to deliver – up to three times more profit than the average franchised dealership in Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe.

The purpose of this ebook is to guide readers interested in the economics of sport, using practical examples. It is by no means intended to be a textbook but rather as a means to view the world of economics through the lens of sport. More accurately, it is an analysis of issues in sport from someone with an economic perspective. The information provided in each of the cases is intended to be food for thought, to engage the reader with sports economics and related issues. It is hoped that the examples used throughout can demonstrate how useful sport can be in explaining complex economic issues.

The story of shared services cooperatives is compelling for the breadth and depth of its utility across multiple sectors of the US economy. Shared services cooperatives are member associations formed to meet a variety of institutional needs for economies and efficiencies of scale through collaboration in areas such as purchasing, marketing, processing and distribution. They are organized and operate as for-profit or not-for-profit business entities and appear in a broad array of industry and public service sectors, providing a variety of benefits, services and opportunities today in rural, suburban and urban communities throughout the US. This qualitative study sets out to describe the ways in which shared services cooperatives are organized, who are the members, how shared services cooperatives benefit their members and why the members formed a cooperative as opposed to other forms of collaboration (joint ventures, subsidiaries or collaborative agreements). Shared services cooperatives in all the cases studied have led to long-term impacts in addressing organizational needs. All the cooperatives in this study have effectively served their members’ needs. Whether it was a cooperative designed to enhance competitiveness, or to lower risks, to acquire new sources of funding or to allow the cooperative members to scale up or sustain the organization, the story has been the same. The shared services cooperative works very well as a way to meet these varied needs.

This collection of case studies focuses on the role of strategic communications in helping organisations to meet the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Public relations is not considered here as a tool for corporate self-aggrandisement but as a vital, inseparable element of the sustainability goals themselves. When responses to sustainability issues range from co-operation to hostility, strategic communications that identifies audiences and their issues to engage in effective, dialogic communication with them is paramount. The 12 case studies in this book were each selected, researched and written by a member of the 25th student cohort of the M.A. in Public Relations. Each was chosen according to the student’s sectoral, personal, or other interest to use the case to illustrate how effective strategic communications can help bring to fruition a campaign that addresses a sustainable development goal. The focus, therefore, is on the communications that inform and motivate actions and behaviours rather than the intrinsic nature of the goals themselves. With each addressing a particular goal, there are case studies from Ireland and abroad, reflecting the diversity of the cohort. While the cases are written to make them accessible to readers approaching public relations for the first time or to time-constrained practitioners, the more advanced public relations student will see where they may be applied to illustrate advanced theoretical concepts. A short series of questions at the end of each case study will be helpful for educators as a teaching tool for further exploration and reflection, while three intermezzo chapters by the book’s editors offer additional critical interpretations to stimulate deeper considerations.

"LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT in ORGANISATIONS: STRATEGY, EVIDENCE and PRACTICE" provides a comprehensive and thematic overview of the thinking, research evidence and practice of strategic L&D in organisations. It covers both strategic and operational practice dimensions, to help students of L&D and HRM to acquire a deep understanding of the field and to inform the practice of L&D professionals by identifying the best available evidence on L&D practices and by providing them with guidelines for action. It builds on the core operational building blocks of L&D and goes beyond these to take a strategic perspective, emphasising the contribution of L&D to organisational and financial performance and the need to align formal and informal L&D with business objectives. Each chapter incorporates pedagogical features to enable the student or practitioner to apply the concepts to organisational life, link theory to practice and signpost readers to the best available evidence on L&D practices. Specifically: Succinct and concise explanations of Key Concepts found within the field of L&D; Critical Reflection exercises that help the reader to engage with key concepts and debates within the field; A Best Available Evidence to Inform Practice feature to summarise the results of meta-analysis and systematic / integrative reviews in a manner that is accessible to practitioners; Two Case Studies as examples of application to practice relevant to the chapter’s content – and, the end of each chapter, a longer case study with questions that provide an opportunity for classroom-based and practitioner discussion; Recommended Further Reading to allow the reader to enhance their understanding of the chapter content; A Glossary to provide students and practitioners with easy access to definitions of the key concepts used throughout the book, as well as other important L&D terms. The book is divided into three key sections, which cover different aspects of L&D: Section One: Concepts and Context of L&D in Organisations: Chapter 1 discusses the concepts of L&D, the external and internal context of L&D and the key dimensions of strategic L&D in organisations. Chapters 2 and 3 introduce readers to the key theoretical and conceptual foundations of strategic L&D, and its key components, including strategy processes, roles and resources; Section Two: Theory and Practice of L&D: Chapters 4 to 14 explain the main theories, concepts, models and practices that underpin strategic L&D in organisations. This section covers a wide range of issues that L&D practitioners need to better understand the design, delivery and evaluation of L&D in organisations; Section Three: Developing the L&D Professional and the Future Role of L&D: Chapters 15 and 16cover the changing roles of L&D practitioners in organisations, their competence development, professional ethics and the future of strategic L&D, including potential new roles and forms of L&D. "LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT in ORGANISATIONS: STRATEGY, EVIDENCE and PRACTICE" is published in association with the Irish Institute of Training and Development and aims to set the agenda for L&D professionals in the future. It is a significant update to the best-selling MAKING TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT WORK.

The world changed on 15 August 1971. After almost a quarter of a millennium broadly tied to gold, the money of the world was cut free. The consequences have been dramatic and far-reaching. The United States is now in the unprecedented position of being the issuer of an unanchored global reserve currency. By contrast, and however reluctantly, the rest of the world is now in the unenviable position of being the forced user of the unmoored US dollar. Developments as disparate and apparently unrelated as the outcome of the Cold War, the accelerating pattern of boom, bubble & bust, and the stunning rise of China stem directly from that historic, and historically recent, decision. Since that seminal night in the White House, we are all hostage to a compellingly incentivised and bewilderingly diverse money creation machine, effectively unhindered from exploiting a stacked heads I win / tails you lose relationship with the rest of society. Contrary to much conventional economic thinking, the accelerating pattern of boom, bubble & bust should be little surprise as the political and monetary authorities in whom we trust are little more than impotent accommodators of an unmoored monetary mayhem beyond their control; a mayhem, in truth, beyond any control.

The Relationship Revolution is a practical, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to build, scale, and sustain high-impact 1:1 Account-Based Marketing. In an era defined by complexity, crowded markets, and rapidly shifting expectations, organizations need more than campaigns—they need meaningful, human-centered engagement with the accounts that matter most.

Grounded in nearly two decades of global marketing experience, this book blends proven frameworks, personal stories, award-winning programs, and modern innovations like AI. Newman shows readers how to adopt the mindset of “CMO of your accounts,” build trust with stakeholders, co-create with clients, and elevate marketing from a service function to a strategic drive.

Whether you’re launching your first Strategic 1:1 or scaling a global ABM engine, this book provides the mindset and creative inspiration needed to accelerate growth with purpose and precision.

The surest way to obtain the superior returns that stock markets have delivered in the past is to be an owner of “assets”, either through a diversified selection of individual companies or through funds. However, not everyone has the patience or, indeed, the time to be a ‘Buy & Hold’ investor. Technical analysis is the study of price movements or price action in markets in an attempt to determine their likely future direction. Quite simply, if the direction is likely upwards, an investor who is "timing the markets" will want to be invested and if the likely direction is downwards, the investor will want to exit. Written by Rory Gillen, founder of GillenMarkets and author of 3 Steps to Investment Success, published in 2012, this booklet aims to provide readers with an understanding of how to time the markets and highlights a couple of successful technical indicators to market timing that we have followed over the years.

Most works on Asian or global studies adopt mainstream Neoclassical methods to explain economic and social development. However, quantitative and optimisation techniques are unable to provide a deep understanding of policy change between the West and East Asia. To fill the gap, this book uses evolutionary perspective to interpret economic and social transformations of two global powers, namely, the United States and China. Specifically, this book outlines the roles of culture, institutions and entrepreneurship in the analysis. Instead of logical empiricism in the English tradition, our approach is interpretative and storytelling in continental European tradition. In other words, we adopt hermeneutics and phenomenology in the analysis and apply humanity to economics. There are two aims of this book. First, it outlines the evolution of Austrian evolutionary economics and second, the role of learning in the decision-making process. It focuses on how decision makers learn and how good and bad learners are differentiated.

This book examines the very concept, history, critique, and impact on the overall economy and black money, the move toward less-cash economy and digitalization, government–RBI relations, along with an assessment of two years of demonetization.

Demonetization has created a severe macroeconomic shock. The measure was humungous in scale and led to a sharp contraction in money supply for a short period. Although demonetization’s proponents have contended that it would cleanse the economy of black money and make transactions more formal and digital, its implementation certainly could have been better. The effects of demonetization on the Indian economy are debatable and will vary by sector. Its effectiveness will be talked about and studied by economists and policy makers for decades to come.

Demonetization has made only a minor dent in the GDP. It has helped to bring more people into the tax net and has reduced the size of the informal economy. With the increased use of digital payments, economic transactions become recorded. This book examines the very concept, history, critique, and impact on the overall economy and black money, the move toward less-cash economy and digitalization, government–RBI relations, along with an assessment of two years of demonetization. It would be prudent for the government to focus more on proper institutional reforms to address the issues originating from demonetization.

The book focuses on the status of vocational education programs, challenges of achieving quality and attaining competitive excellence in a globalized socioeconomic order, and the role of government and industry in achieving these avowed goals.

India’s transition to a knowledge-based economy requires a new generation of educated and skilled people. Its competitive edge will be determined by its people’s ability to create, share, and use knowledge effectively. A knowledge economy requires India to develop workers—knowledge workers and knowledge technologists—who are flexible and analytical and can be the driving force for innovation and growth.

Developing skilled workers enhances the efficiency and flexibility of the labor market; skills bottlenecks are reduced, skilled workers are more easily absorbed into the economy, and their job mobility is improved. In this light, an effort is made in this book to describe and analyze governmental skill development initiatives in India. The book also dwells on the need to revive traditional family centric vocations pursued in the rural communities, especially those dying village-based vocations that provide livelihood options to a multitude of socially disadvantaged artisans, and integrate them into the fabric of skill development initiatives in place.

The book provides a systematic understanding of the processes of skill formation and provides several pathways for enhancing entrepreneurial skills in a business ecosystem with a huge knowledge capital gained through skill development initiatives. Toward this end, the book seeks to contribute toward understanding the structures and processes of governance and initiatives for enhancing the quality of skilling programs. The book also dwells on various opportunities and challenges of augmenting a multitude of skilled workforces made available through various skilling initiatives and programs.

There is intense competition among emerging markets to capture their share of the global economy. This book addresses questions that are germane to accomplishing this goal. Most important to this end is the study and practice of international business and foreign trade.

Undertaking such a study raises many questions which this book will answer:

• Why are emerging markets and the firms doing business in them internationalizing so aggressively?
• Why in the past decade has the pace of internationalization accelerated so rapidly?
• What competitive advantages do these emerging economies enjoy in comparison to advanced economies, such as the G20, and what are the origins of those advantages?
• Through what strategies are emerging market blocks, such as the BRICs and the CIVETS, building their global presence and expanding their market reach?
• How are emerging markets rivaling advanced economies and how are they affecting the already established rivalries among those economies?

This book answers these and other questions. In doing so, it will address the larger issue of what it all means for mainstream international business theory and its actual practice.

Five Eyes on the Fence: Protecting the Five Core Capitals of Your Business debunks the myth that a business's health is judged by its bottom line alone–by its financial capital.

Instead, the book proves that financial capital is a byproduct of four other capitals:

1. Human capital, is defined by a company's and its employees' soft and ingrained attributes like personalities, intelligences, behavioral traits, values, attributes, and motivators;
2. Intellectual capital, defined by the company's and its employees' knowledge and experience;
3. Social capital, or the company's network of people and associates; and
4. Structural capital, the glue that holds all of these capitals together in the form of processes, systems, and modes of delivering a product or service.

By exploring both positive and negative case studies, readers learn to consider these five capitals as an intricate web, making decisions according to the interplay between each of the capitals rather than focusing all of their energies on the cold, hard, and logic-driven financial statement.

India, one of the world’s fastest-growing large economies, offers business and investment opportunities across a multitude of sectors. More and more companies around the world are eager to do business in India. This book details the challenges and risks involved as well as providing real suggestions for overcoming them.

It begins by providing a background to understanding India and highlights the business environment in which the economic, legal, and cultural variances exist. Potential markets are then discussed, focusing on the sectors, regions, and cities where growth is taking place; the upper, middle, and lower income segments; Indian MNEs; public sector and state-owned companies, and family-owned enterprises.

Throughout the book, the author examines the various pitfalls and obstacles that are frequently encountered when operating in India, including political uncertainty and intransigence, corruption, bureaucratic roadblocks, the web of litigation, protecting intellectual property, labor and human resources limitations, and India’s ubiquitous second economy. These not only increase risk and lead to costly delays on account of lengthy litigation and payment of bribes, aggravating frustration, but may also result in total loss of investments. The book concludes by providing keys to success, including guidelines for selecting partners and appointing agents, as well as negotiating techniques that work in India. It also includes a comprehensive list of web resources for further exploration, and to connect with government and private sector bodies.

Most books on management principles focus on particular rules of thumb and best management practices. While the latter approach provides useful guidance and insights, it does not give executives much of an understanding of what bad management can entail and the damage that it can produce. Indeed, good management makes the most sense when it can be directly contrasted with examples of bad management and its implications.

To fill this critical gap, this book adopts a fresh approach, identifying cases of bad management from real-life business situations experienced by the author and contrasting them with good management practice. Inside this long-awaited title, you’ll learn the following:

• Management: Avoiding the bad, applying the good-with real life examples
• Contrasting good and bad management in companies & world affairs
• Applying rigorous management techniques to novel situations

As the EAC regional bloc is soon celebrating 20 years since its inception, is it any closer to being fully integrated? Is the regional financial integration still feasible?

The problems during COVID made everyone aware that today’s global business environment relies on supply chains 24/7.

Although most managers and executives are not chain experts, they must know and understand the key aspects of supply chain management to make the best daily decisions for their business. Many textbooks cover numerous details and theories about supply chains. However, it has been said that everything that is taught in business school is theory…until you must make payroll.

The Globalization Trap exposes how decades of free trade, outsourcing, and economic dogma hollowed out the American middle class—and why the promised gains of globalization never arrived for millions of workers.

Economists once claimed that free trade would raise wages and living standards. Instead, globalization triggered a race to the bottom, forcing U.S. workers to compete with low-wage labor worldwide. The result: stagnant wages, shrinking opportunities, and a collapsing middle class—especially for workers without college degrees.

The book also dismantles the myth of the “post-industrial service economy.” Cheap imports and service-sector jobs were supposed to deliver prosperity. They didn’t. For most workers, lower prices and imports failed to offset rising living costs and flat pay, leaving economic insecurity in their wake.

But this is not just a diagnosis—it’s a blueprint. As globalization fractures and global trade blocs re-emerge, The Globalization Trap outlines a realistic path to renewed prosperity. The plan focuses on rebuilding U.S. manufacturing, reducing trade deficits, protecting critical technologies, and restoring wage growth through targeted tariffs, tax credits, quotas, and workforce training.

Clear-eyed, practical, and timely, this book offers a roadmap for reclaiming economic stability and a stronger middle class.
