Ronald S. Burt “Brokerage and Closure: An Introduction to Social Capital"
Oxford University Press, USA | 2007-10-11 | ISBN: 0199249156 | 304 pages | PDF | 2,8 MB



Almost everything that happens in a firm flows through informal networks builts by advice, coordination, cooperation, friendship, gossip, knowledge, and trust. In this book, Ron Burt builds upon his celebrated work on network analyses to explain how these informal networks functions and the role of network entrepreneurs who have amassed social capital. Burt shows that social capital is a critical element in business strategy. Who has it, how it works and how to develop it have become key questions as markets, organizations and careers become more and more dependent on informal discretionary relationships. Informal relations have always mattered. What is new is the range of activities in which they now matter, and the emerging clarity we have about how they create advantage for certain people at the expense of others. This advantage is created by brokerage and closure. Brokerage is the activity of people who live at the intersecting of social worlds, who can see and develop good ideas. Closure is the tightening of coordination on a closed network of people. Brokerage and Closure explores how these elements work together to define social capital, showing how in the business world reputation has come to replace authority and reward has come to be associated with achieving competitive advantage in a social order of continuous disequilibrium.

Reviews
"This indispensable volume by top-notch authors from academe, consulting, and organizations provides detailed analyses and practical applications of sometimes inaccessible techniques of validity generalization, job component validity, synthetic validity, content validation, and construct validation. The authors describe these procedures as they apply to a variety of narrow and broad ability and personality attributes relevant to job effectiveness."
—George Thornton, professor, Department of Psychology, Colorado State University

"This work offers a comprehensive survey of current thought on alternative methods of validation. It provides insight into the relative strengths of various methods and gives hope to those of us who argue that criterion-related methods should not be preferred over other methods simply because they appear to be more scientific. Throughout, the authors remind us that whatever the methodology, the goal remains the same: selection procedures that help employers identify the best employees for the job and that their attorneys can defend against legal challenge. Every attorney practicing in this area should add this work to the reference shelf."
—Patrick J. Rocks, general counsel, Chicago Public Schools

"While the Uniform Guidelines provide the 'rules' for the validation of selection procedures, this compilation of techniques offers both researchers and practitioners timely, practical, and defensible approaches for getting it done."
—John Leonard, manager, organizational development, Valero Energy Corporation

Ian I. Mitroff, Gus Anagnos “Managing Crises Before They Happen: What Every Executive And Manager Needs to Know About Crisis Management"
AMACOM/American Management Association | 2000-09-30 | ISBN: 0814473288 | 192 pages | PDF | 1 MB



From tragic accidents to public relations fiascos, we live in an increasingly crisis-ridden society. In fact, half of the major industrial accidents of the past century occurred in the last 20 years. Incidents such as Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez have become embedded in our consciousness, cultural icons of the worst sort. Other crises, less devastating but with serious impact on their businesses, occur almost daily. Why is this--and what can be done to reverse this disturbing trend?
According to Ian Mitroff, one of the world's leading experts on crisis management, the rise in the crisis rate is due to an ingrained "it-can't happen-to-us" mentality--which, in turn, leads to a total lack of preparedness for crises. His solution? Find out in Managing Crises Before They Happen. This fascinating book provides readers with a powerful framework that will help them:
* Recognize the early warning signals that almost always precede a crisis
* Focus on the big picture, not just the details
* Avoid becoming either the victim or the villain in a crisis situation
* Understand the importance of personal character, corporate culture, and thinking outside the box to effective crisis management
* Learn from one crisis things that can prevent or ameliorate the next.

Otto Lerbinger “Corporate Public Affairs: Interacting With Interest Groups, Media, And Government"
Lawrence Erlbaum Associates | 2005-10-18 | ISBN: 0805856420 | 496 pages | PDF | 1,85 MB



Corporate Public Affairs: Interacting With Interest Groups, Media, and Governments explores the increasing interest in public affairs by today's organizations. Lerbinger indicates that more and more frequently corporations are establishing public affairs positions—typically within public relations departments—to respond to issues and concerns arising out of the sociopolitical environment in which the corporation functions. He articulates the functions and responsibilities of the public affairs role, and investigates the approaches to dealing with primary constituencies—interest groups, media, and government. Divided into five parts, this book: • provides an overview of the corporate public affairs function; • explores strategies of the myriad interest groups in the United States, such as labor unions and environmental, consumer, women's, and human rights groups; • recognizes the media's increasing coverage of business events, especially negative ones, that have tremendous power both to undermine corporate credibility and to support public policy positions; • deals with legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government; and • raises the question of how corporate power strategies have affected the political marketplace. This book will appeal to advanced-level students, scholars, and practitioners in public relations and business fields.
