New Business Opportunities in Latin America: Trade and Investment After the Mexican Meltdown

Quorum; Louis E.V. Nevaer; Greenwood Pub Group Quorum Books

Synopsis:
There are no miracles in Latin America, says international consultant Louis Nevaer--only opportunities--and with economic integration well underway, these opportunities are more promising than ever for U.S. businesses. Trade barriers fell at the Summit of the Americas, and even the Mexican "meltdown" failed to dim the Latin American promise. How U.S. businesses can participate in these processes of democratization and liberalization in Latin America is the subject of Dr. Nevaer's wide-ranging discussion. With attention not only to economic and trade considerations, but also to social, political, and cultural events and characteristics of the Latin American business scene, Dr. Nevaer provides readers with unusually rich up-to-date insights into how business is done there and how U.S. businesspeople can do it. This is important reading for corporate management at all levels, economists, international bankers and investors, and for their colleagues in the academic community who share their interests.

Toxic Leaders: When Organizations Go Bad

Quorum; Marcia Lynn Whicker

Synopsis:
Drawing upon her extensive experience and research in various types of organizations--business, political, even religious organizations--Dr. Whicker looks closely at three distinct types of leaders which she categorizes as trustworthy, transitional and toxic leaders. In a clear and readable style she describes leadership subtypes for transitional and toxic types: the absentee leaders, the busybodies, controllers, enforcers, streetfighters, and the bullies, all of whom are dangerous to their organizations and are directly responsible in many cases for an organization's decline. Whicker makes clear, however, that there are ways to protect oneself from such leaders, and shows exactly what these strategies are. A compelling, anecdotal, authoritative analysis for anyone in any organization who has ever wondered "why did the boss do that -- and why to me?"

Human Relations Issues in Management

Few managers and supervisors are adequately trained to effectively handle the diverse and complex relations problems that characterize business and industries. Relevant management theories and research data pertaining to these human relations issues are discussed in this work with special attention on effective ways to empower employees and to handle confrontations that grow from race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and emotional differences, which often emerge when organizations grow or downsize to meet competition pressures. No other book includes such a broad approach to human relations in the workplace.
