EVERYTHING I EVER NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT ECONOMICS I LEARNED FROM ONLINE DATING PRICE: RS.995 offer price rs 800
It wasn't until Paul Oyer began thinking about dating again after his separation that he realized how the rise of the internet and his becoming an economist were related. The internet had not only created Facebook, eBay and Amazon, it has also transformed the dating scene. Dating, Oyer argues, is all economics. For the last twenty years, he's spent at least some of almost every day analyzing markets and suddenly he was thrust into one of the most interesting markets there is. His training as an economist and his stumbling as a new dater give Oyer the expertise to show just how modern economics works. Oyer will use his own experiences and those of millions of users of online dating platforms to make the connection between microeconomics and the vagaries of dating clear and he'll do so in a style that's fun and provocative. Match.com, eHarmony and OKCupid, it turns out, are no different from eBay or Monster.com or other markets. On all these sites, people come together trying to find matches. It's just that we never think of them that way. Oyer, a tech oriented economist from Stanford, will cover topics like search, signaling and cheap talk, adverse selection, statistical discrimination, thick markets, network externalities and repeated games. While these ideas are driving the behavior of online dating participants every day, they are also central to how any other market works and should be central to how business people at every level analyze their business interactions. While the book may help some readers find online love, understanding these ideas will make anyone better at understanding how economics works.

THE GOOD STRUGGLE : RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP IN AN UNFORGIVING WORLD 1ST EDITION PRICE: RS.995 offer price rs 800
Peter Drucker once wrote "Leadership is responsibility."But what does that mean for leaders in today's global, complex business context? What can and should leaders really be held responsible for? Who are they accountable to? And how do they make good choices when little is certain or reliable? According to Joseph Badaracco, a new set of answers to these practical leadership questions is emerging from entrepreneurs. What has always been true for them - intense competition, scarce resources, unforgiving markets - is true now for the rest of us. Based on his in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs and three decades of experience teaching leadership and strategy, Badaracco reveals a method for leading under relentless pressure. Characterized as "the good struggle," he shows how leaders can adapt what entrepreneurs already know about overcoming the challenges of leading in volatility:
How to see things as they really are, not as you'd like them to be.
How to make firm, clear decisions while remaining flexible.
How to know what's really happening inside the organization, even as things are constantly changing.
How to find immediate value in the work, rather than working toward inspirational, long-term goals which may never materialize.
How to set and enforce clear bright lines of what is and is not acceptable.
How to know why you're engaged in the struggle and to be clear about what makes it "good" for you.
As the entrepreneurial model of leadership displaces the Druckerian one of the past, learning from those who have already mapped the territory is essential.
TILT: SHIFTING YOUR STRATEGY FROM PRODUCTS TO CUSTOMERS PRICE: RS.1250 offer price rs 1000
Why do your customers buy from you rather than from your competitors? If you think the answer is your superior products, think again.Products are important, of course. For decades, businesses sought competitive advantage almost exclusively in activities related to new product creation. They won by building bigger factories, by finding cheaper raw materials or labor, or by coming up with more efficient ways to move and store inventory and by inventing exciting new products that competitors could not replicate.But these sources of competitive advantage are being irreversibly leveled by globalization and technology. Today, competitors can rapidly decipher and deploy the recipe for your products secret sauce and use it against you. Upstream, product-related advantages are rapidly eroding.This does not mean that competitive advantage is a thing of the past. Rather, its center has shifted. As marketing professor Niraj Dawar compellingly argues, advantage is now found downstream, where companies interact with customers in the marketplace.Tilt will help you grasp the global nature of this downstream shift and its profound implications for your strategy and your organization. With vivid examples from around the world, ranging across industries and sectors, Dawar shows how companies are reorienting their strategies around customer interactions to create and capture unique value. And he demonstrates how, unlike product related advantage, this value is cumulative, continuously building over time.In an increasingly customer centered world marketplace, let Tilt serve as your guide to shifting your strategy downstream and achieving enduring competitive advantage.

WORK WITH ME: HOW GENDER INTELLIGENCE CAN HELP YOU SUCCEED AT WORK AND IN LIFE PRICE: RS.699 offer 560
Despite the strenuous efforts to give women equal status in the workplace over the last few decades, tension between the sexes in the workplace remains as rampant as ever: during exit interviews many women, often leaving to start their own businesses, cite feeling undervalued or unappreciated at the office. Despite countless company initiatives, equality protocols, and gender seminars we have made little significant advancement. So why can't the sexes work together? In this ground breaking new book, Annis and Gray, two of the world's luminaries in gender awareness, tackle that question and construct practical solutions. The previous, unsuccessful attempts to achieve gender equality involved treating women as men denying gender differences. Annis and Gray, however, make the unprecedented argument that gender should be embraced, not just tolerated: that, biologically, men and women are designed to complement each other. After systematically identifying and eliminating gender misconceptions, Annis and Gray outline a revolutionary system where gender differences promote synergy and produce rewarding careers. Already their system has grandly impacted such prominent companies as American Express, IBM, and Microsoft. It is based on the results of 20 years of in-depth surveys of over 100,000 men and women in blue-chip companies around the world, which will be revealed in this book for the first time, and incorporates incontrovertible scientific data and organizational studies.
