Product Information
Praise and Reviews `Disturbing and deeply thought-provoking, this book challenges the relevance of much in the current `governance` debate. While we bicker over rearranging the deckchairs, is our industrial Titanic already slipping beneath the waves?` Marcus Alexander, Adjunct Professor of Strategy, London Business School and Director, Ashridge Strategic Management Centre `Written with sharp insight, wit and wisdom, this is a splendid and disturbing book. It urges us, with passion and carefully researched precision, to debate those issues which are crucial for the health of our society, in economic, political and human terms. It is both prophetic and practical.` Professor Jim Hughes, Strathclyde University Business School `This book makes a lot of points that are long overdue. The challenge is - how to make real changes effectively.` Sir Austin Pearce CBE, former Chairman of Esso and British Aerospace `Congratulations. Well targeted, highly topical and lively to read.` John Monks, former General Secretary, Trades Union Congress A damning account of personal greed and incompetence and the selfish consumption of corporate Britain 's wealth . Derby Evening Telegraph, Jan 2004 'I have yet to read a more devastating analysis' of relationships between chief executives and investment banks, said Richard Donkin in the FT. 'Everyone concerned with the future health of corporations' should read this book.' -Money Week Convincingly argued, with an impressively moral centre Ink, March 2004 The authors, themselves once industry insiders, write in a style that is short on sentiment and substantiate what they write with hard facts. -Mortgage Finance Gazette This is not a typical socialist screed written by left-wing academics, since the authors, Don Young and Pat Scott, have both worked in senior roles in industry, and have experienced business from the inside. Sunday Telegraph, Feb 2004 A controversial new book that gives warning of the dangers to UK plc. The Times, Jan 2004 In the last twenty years top managers of British companies have experienced an unprecedented boom in pay and perks, while their counterparts in the City have earned millions. Just reward for achieving high performance and superior shareholder value one might say. If indeed that was the outcome. The reality, though, is somewhat different as this hard-hitting book reveals. Having their Cake... is a damning account of neglect, greed and incompetence, and the irresponsible destruction of corporate Britain's wealth. For the first time, the little publicized informal relationships between the City institutions and top management in UK's largest public companies is examined in great detail. While passionate in their quest to expose this destruction and propose positive changes, the authors provide us with cool and compelling evidence that: financial markets are the dominant influence over the appointment and careers of top managers of public companies; these symbiotic relationships represents a seismic shift in the balance of power between the stakeholders in industry and the economy; many high-profile corporate deals are made at the expense of company performance or even survival; the combination of City pressures and management practices are having an increasingly corrosive effect on British businesses. And the consequences are alarming: there is now little or no larger British presence in many key industrial sectors that require consistent investment in innovation and technology; Some 40% of British-based exporting companies are now foreign owned; Approaching 50% of gross exports are made by foreign owned companies; there are now no larger British owned international investment banks; the productivity of American owned manufacturing companies in Britain vastly exceeds that of British owned ones. Having their Cake... is

- h***d (67)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéReally good considering the age of it. Item received very well packaged. Just as described - ‘very good’. Would have been delivered within its due date but Royal Mail were to blame as they had it in the delivery office but didn’t send someone out to deliver that day. This is an issue with Royal Mail all the time so don’t always assume the seller didn’t send it. Good communication and highly recommend this seller.
- x***o (888)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéWhat you see is what you get. With checkout complete, item securely packaged it was shipped swiftly. It really adds to the “eBay experience”, restoring your faith in people/eBay sellers when you’ve found something you like, and having checked the description, you need more information, or simply clarification on something, you ask the question(s), the seller then responds with a promptly: filling in the gaps. A very smooth transaction. I would purchase from this seller again. Thank you.
