Book Description

This unique book, written by a former McKinsey consultant, offers an up-to-date, detailed, practical understanding of this exciting area of financial services.

Customer Reviews:
Not to the point.......2002-08-23
This book will explain how the rules were created and turned to what they are today. Who cares how they came to be, the only important thing is what you can and cannot do under the circumstances. It will explain what to consider, in general terms, when valuing distressed companies. But what discount rate should you use? How would you value different assets? It doesn't explain. There are no numbers in this book. It's not practical. It's like buying a cooking book and when you want to know how to make a cake the book reads: "use eggs, milk, flower and mix". Ok, thanks.
What to Do...What Not to Do.......2000-05-09
Every executive should make active use of a basic reference library of about 12-15 business books; Workouts & Turnarounds II should be one them. Edited by Dominic DiNapoli, it consists of 21 different chapters, written (or co-authored) by experts on various subjects. These chapter titles suggest some of the issues which are addressed:
* Trouble-Spotting: Assessing the Likelihood of a Turnaround
* Looming Financial or Business Failure: Fix or File -- A Legal Perspective
* Preparing for Bankruptcy: Building the War Chest
* The Lawyer's Role in Representing the Distressed Company
* The Accountant's Role in the Workout Environment
* Dealing with Employee Issues in a Bankruptcy Situation
* Mergers and Acquisition Strategies for the Distressed Company
At one time or another, all organizations experience serious problems. Many of them eventually recover. The wealth of information and advice provided in this single volume explains HOW. Other organizations, unable to solve their problems, are either liquidated or acquired. This book explains WHY. I know of no other single volume which offers more and better information about workouts and turnarounds, corporate restructuring, and bankruptcy proceedings. This book can be of substantial value to those involved with a distressed organization. It was written primarily for them. However, I think this book can also be of substantial value to those whose organization is (at the moment) thriving and who are determined to sustain that success. Knowing what NOT to do is often as important as knowing what to do.

Multiple Reviewers of book.......2007-02-16
Rosemary H Campbell, Director, International Sales & Ops, 12/02/2005
Capon, Potter and Schindler lay out a comprehensive roadmap for developing a global account program
"Implementing global account management is not easy. At IBM it took us several years and many iterations to build the current program that today puts the right senior level focus on our top global accounts -- and we're not finished yet. Fred Schindler was part of that struggle and Managing Global Accounts in part recounts its history. However, IBM is only a small part of this book. In a unique partnership of the business world with academe, Capon, Potter and Schindler lay out a comprehensive roadmap for developing a global account program. If you are trying to support your global customers, I recommend you read and use this book. You will save yourselves time and many missteps as you learn from the myriad of insights the authors provide." Rosemary H Campbell, Director, International Sales & Operations, Worldwide, IBM
Lisa Napolitano, CEO, SAMA, 12/02/2005
This book offers companies what they've been clamoring for
"Nearly every company today is forced to confront the challenge of supporting requirements in a global business environment. The reality is, as companies have become larger and more complex, the task of trying to leverage your position and information around the world as one unit is enormous, even for a sophisticated multi-national company. What the Strategic Account Management Association has learned is that organizational commitment, in the form of management support as well as resources, is mandatory to success. What we've seen, however, is that too many firms fail to make a strong business case for change, or worse yet, get buy-in to the wrong set of expectations. If only Managing Global Accounts had come along sooner! This book offers companies what they've been clamoring for - a framework for asking the right questions, performing the right analytics, and translating that into an action plan that fits their unique circumstances. Companies that have already implemented global account management can effectively reassess and recalibrate based on the authors' practical, real-world experience. And for those whose firms have yet to fully embrace the concepts, this book will become your guide and your ally in convincing your most important stakeholders that Global Account Management - and what that requires - is not an option for firms that intend to be competitive."
David Macaulay, Sr. Vice President, Siemens AG, 12/02/2005
Finally a book which can help
"Finally a book which can help corporations transform the art of selling into the science of growth. Companies now have the chance to impact their customer assets in the same way they have optimized their supply chains. It is all here and the winners will know how to use it."
Chris Morrison, Divisional Vice President, Nalco, 12/02/2005
This is the real McCoy
"As a VP managing global account managers in a global Fortune 300 company, I learned more from reading this book's first few chapters then I have in my last five business books. The authors have done a great job pulling together all the logistics from starting, hiring, training, supporting, and sustaining a successful program. If anyone every wanted a book on how to CORRECTLY build a global account program, using best practices, this is IT!!!! I liked this book's easy going interface played out by the `almost believable' reality interactions between four main characters set up in the first chapters. You have a CEO, a consultant, a global account director and a global account manager, all struggling with their time commitments on one hand and their desire to make this work in their heads. They all learn a lot from each other on a flight delay (very real to any global account manager) and subsequent travel/trip. This helps the reader by following the questions and answers of both parties. Three cheers to Capon, Schindler and Potter for a great narrative of technical training and business savvy all in one tight package. I am confident that the careful reading, comprehension and implementation of this books tenet's will save many firms tens of thousands of dollars in consultant fees. This is the real McCoy!" Chris Morrison, Divisional Vice President, Nalco Global Accounts
A reviewer, A reviewer, 12/01/2005
Successful global account management
"Successful global account management can be the most difficult sales and marketing initiative undertaken by any firm. The authors of this book truly understand the complexities involved and they provide a thorough overview of the required critical success factors." Tom VanHootegem, Vice President Strategic Segment Sales, OfficeMax Contract
Small kernels of value amidst tons of ore.......2006-12-28
This book reads as though it were written by someone who spent their business career in sales operations. You know the ones - overly preoccupied with process with little understanding of how things really work.
The first nine chapters are written in a workmanlike fashion. They describe the rationale and pitfalls of those struggling with global account management, but the prescriptions for actually doing something are too superficial to be of any real use.
The most important topic (and the authors acknowledge it) is quantifying the business value from global account management. The authors save this until the first part of chapter 10. Their most important insight is that the value from global account management depends on the company. Wow - I paid to find that out? A framework or taxonomy for measuring business value would have been much more useful.
Their treatment of the problems associated with global account management was one of the better sections - I give them credit for including it.
Finally, there are half a dozen tables included throughout. I found them to be the most useful part of the book.
This book can easily be skimmed in one cross-country plane trip. If you are looking for a few good ideas, check it out. If you are looking for a definitive treatise on global account management, look elsewhere.
Book Description
This text exhibits four unique features: 1) it uses the theory of the firm as the unifying theme to examine the managerial decision process; 2) it fully introduces a global view into managerial economics to reflect the internationalization of tastes, production, and distribution in today's globalizing world; 3) it introduces many exciting new topics and managerial tools into the study of managerial economics that are not discussed at all or discussed only very superficially in other texts, such as firm architecture, strategic behavior, business ethics, electronic commerce, risk management, international economies of scale, the virtual corporation, reengineering, benchmarking, the learning organization, and the digital factory; and 4) it shows how managerial decisions are actually made today with more relevant and interesting real-world case applications and integrative case studies than any other text on the market.
