    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;As CEO of General Electric for the past twenty years, Jack Welch built its market cap by more than $450 billion and established himself as the most admired business leader in the world. His championing of initiatives like Six Sigma quality, globalization, and e-business have helped define the modern corporation. At the same time, he's a gutsy boss who has forged a unique philosophy and an operating system that relies on a &quot;boundaryless&quot; sharing of ideas, an intense focus on people, and an informal, give-and-take style that makes bureaucracy the enemy. In anecdotal detail and with self-effacing humor, Jack Welch shares the big hits and misses that characterized his career.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En su labor como CEO de GE durante los últimos veinte años, Jack Welch ha construido un imperio cuyo capital supera los 450 mil millones de dólares y se ha afirmado como uno de los líderes empresariales más admirados del mundo. Sus iniciativas, como el concepto de calidad Six Sigma, la globalización y el comercio virtual, ayudaron a definir la empresa moderna. Al mismo tiempo, Welch es el ejecutivo que con su instinto y coraje ha forjado una filosofía única y un sistema de trabajo caracterizado por un intercambio de ideas sin limitaciones jerárquicas, una atención puesta en las personas y un estilo de participación informal cuyo principal enemigo es la burocracia. Con sentido común, frescura, humor y un despliegue de anécdotas reveladoras, Jack Welch expone las lecciones que ha aprendido tanto de sus éxitos como de sus fracasos.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Al Dunlap was so ruthless in downsizing corporations for short-term shareholder profit that he earned nicknames such as &quot;Chainsaw Al&quot; and &quot;Rambo in Pinstripes.&quot; Wall Street loved Dunlap at Scott Paper, where he laid off thousands, but then hated him at Sunbeam, where he himself was finally fired. <em>Chainsaw</em>, by <em>Business Week</em> writer John A. Byrne, dramatically documents the rise and fall of Dunlap, the havoc he wreaked on companies and people's lives, and how he came to power in the first place.<p>  &quot;Chainsaw Al was a creation of the Street and its ceaseless lust for profit at any cost. He came of age when the market routinely rewarded layoffs with lofty stock prices. The more people he tossed out in the street, the higher stock values went,&quot; writes Byrne, who cites &quot;cutthroat investors&quot; such as Michael Price and Ronald Perelman for helping Dunlap's rise. Superbly written and researched, the book vividly describes characters and scenes, and reveals the fictions that Dunlap told about himself. How cold was Chainsaw Al? Byrne writes that Dunlap never even attended the funerals for his mother and father. Byrne also tells the story of the questionable accounting and business practices that ultimately brought down Sunbeam and Dunlap, and the investigations that led to a restatement of the company's finances. Dunlap, unhappy about Byrne's reporting, once said of the <em>Business Week</em> writer, &quot;If he were on fire, I wouldn't piss on him.&quot; It's a quote that Byrne uses to kick off his last chapter. <em>Chainsaw</em> is a compelling read for those interested in the inner workings of Wall Street and business, or just a well-told story. <em>--Dan Ring</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ Wenn jemand in den USA 40 Jahre lang bei einem Megakonzern und davon zwei Jahrzehnte als Firmenboss tätig war, ist er schon zu Lebzeiten eine Legende. Kein Zweifel: Um Jack Welch ranken sich unzählige Stories, Intrigen und Vorurteile. Was hat man ihm nicht alles angedichtet: Ein harter Hund soll er gewesen sein, der sein Unternehmen mit Zuckerbrot und Peitsche geführt hat. Im gleichen Atemzug aber auch ein beispielhafter Coach, der sich für die Belange seiner Mitarbeiter förmlich zerrissen hat.<p>  Jetzt packt der beste Manager der Welt aus. Er erzählt aus seinem Leben -- direkt, ungeschminkt und fast kumpelhaft distanzlos. Herausgekommen ist eine weitschweifende, mitunter sehr unterhaltsame Mischung aus privaten Anekdoten, lebendigen Erzählungen aus der Chefetage eines Weltkonzerns sowie grundlegenden Managementweisheiten. Das Buch ist angelegt wie ein Hollywoodfilm. Die frühen Jahre, der unaufhaltsame Aufstieg, die Höhen und Tiefen an den Hebeln der Macht und der Einstieg in die neue Ära globalen Wirtschaftens. Fast ist man geneigt zu vermuten, das Drehbuch für einen abendfüllenden Spielfilm sei schon mitgeschrieben worden.<p>  Die Lektüre des Buches ist eigentlich wie eine Achterbahnfahrt. Einmal saust man in die Abgründe bizarrer Klischees und Selbstbeweihräucherung, ein andermal wird man hochgezogen in wunderbare kleine Episoden und hemdsärmelige Situationsanalyse. Es gibt Passagen, da wendet man sich mit Grausen, aber auch Erzählungen, in die man förmlich hineingesaugt wird. Beispiele gibt es auf beiden Seiten zuhauf. Die irische Übermutter, die &quot;einen falschen Fuffziger auf eine Meile Entfernung riechen konnte&quot;, und die ihm alle Grundsätze des Managements beibrachte: &quot;Stelle Dich dem Wettbewerb. Stelle dich der Wirklichkeit. Motiviere die Menschen durch Zuckerbrot und Peitsche. Stecke dir anspruchsvolle Ziele. Lasse die Leute nie aus den Augen, damit sie ihre Aufgaben auch tatsächlich erfüllen.&quot; Andererseits aber etwa auch die Details und Hintergründe des Honeymoon-Deals, der größten Industriefusion aller Zeiten -- authentisch und meisterhaft erzählt, als würde der alte Jack vor dem prasselnden Kamin aus dem Nähkästchen plaudern.<p>  443 Seiten lang durchschreiten wir an der Hand eines Industriefürsten das amerikanische Jahrhundert und erleben ein kleines Stück amerikanischer Industriegeschichte hautnah mit. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Denn so einzigartig ist Jack Welch schon deshalb nicht, weil die Arbeitswelt von morgen keine Führungskraft mehr fördern würde, die sich über 40 Jahre lang bei ein und demselben Arbeitgeber verdingt hat. <em>--Peter Felixberger</em></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The electronic call auction is an important trading vehicle in  many market centers around the world, and it should play a far more  central role in the U.S. equity markets. Yet call auctions are not  known or understood by many market participants in the U.S. The  purpose of Call Auction Trading: New Answers to Old  Questions is to consider how a call auction facility operates and  its broader role in the marketplace. A spectrum of questions are  raised and debated. What is a call auction? How should call auctions  be designed? How should call auction and continuous trading be  integrated in a hybrid market structure? What is the price discovery  function of a call auction, especially at market openings?   When the dust settles on the answers, it may be recognized that the  introduction of electronic call auction trading in our markets is one  of the most profound changes in U.S. equity market structure that  could be made. ]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>The sequence of securities markets conferences at Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business in New York City are recorded in this popular series. The conferences are hosted by the college for industry professionals, regulators and academicians. These books are much more than historical documents. The transcripts from the conferences were carefully edited for clarity, perspective and context. Materials were included from subsequent interviews with the panelists and speakers. Each book is focused on a well delineated topic, but all deliver broader insights into the quality and efficiency of the U.S. equity markets and the dynamic forces changing them.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>The NASDAQ Stock Market has been reengineered in recent years from a competitive dealer market to a modern hybrid. The broader NASDAQ marketplace, including ECNs and ATSs, has also experienced substantial growth and development. This conference brought together leading buy-side and sell-side participants and NASDAQ executives to put these changes into sharper focus. The resulting book assesses both the current market structure and the direction in which the new NASDAQ marketplace is heading. </p>]]>

What is the evidence about the current state of our markets? How effective have recent innovations been? How can we better meet our investor needs?]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Two primary drivers have transformed the equity markets in recent years: technological advances and regulatory initiatives. How does modern, electronic technology facilitate trading, and to what extent does it present new challenges? How does regulation adjust to the changing structure of the markets, and to what extent is it itself a source of change? What are the new problems and solutions for handling institutional orders? On both sides of the Atlantic, what are the overall impacts of technology and regulation on market quality? The conference resulting in this volume brought together buyside and sellside practitioners, regulators, and academicians to address these and related issues.</p>]]>
