Likeable Badass
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Behavioral scientist Alison Fragale offers powerful new insights and a practical playbook for women to advance in any workplace, full of tips, tricks, and strategies to help secure that elusive corner office. Over decades of research, speaking engagements, and mentorship, psychologist and professor Alison Fragale encountered recurring questions from high powered and early career women alike: How do women thread the needle of kindness and competence in the workplace? How can women earn credit for their accomplishments, negotiate better, and navigate complex office politics without losing the goodwill of their peers? Fragale investigated and determined that many women's workplace issues boil down to what psychologists call status: the perception of them by others. No amount of power-- no degree, title, or paycheck-- will raise a woman's workplace stature unless it also affects how others see her. Acknowledging this roadblock, Fragale pulls back the curtain on how we can change how others see us by developing our standing as a "likeable badass." By cultivating perceptions of warmth and assertiveness, women can achieve the kind of reputation that leads to a seat at the table and a fulfilling career path. Likeable Badass is equal parts behavioral science and life hacks, weaving together rigorous research with actionable advice and impactful stories from a diverse array of women. This is a warm, heartening book written for women, their allies, and anyone who struggles to rise, and wants evidence-based, practical strategies for success, served with a side of inspiration and humor.

Good Ideas and Power Moves
A guide to the 10 power moves that have built Taylor Swift's superstardom and empire, from a former Strategist at Harvard Business School's Institute for Strategy Taylor Swift's genius is not limited to her singing and songcraft: as the founder of her own multi-billion dollar enterprise she has higher returns than 99.9% of hedge funds, and has built a stronger global corporation than nearly every other American conglomerate CEO. She is the only person that the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank track with precision. She has a larger impact on the economy than most economists that have ever lived, and has done more for US antitrust law than any sitting member of Congress. There is a lot to learn from Taylor Swift. Global investment fund manager and former head of Strategy at HBS (and Swiftie!) Sinead O'Sullivan taps into the same genius that sells out stadiums and shuts down the internet to give Taylor--the CEO, the strategist--the respect she deserves. O'Sullivan sums up Swift's business savvy into ten big, teachable lessons, including: -Build a World (Not a Product) how to create value that is greater than the sum of its parts (or, how Taylor created the fan-centered Swiftverse that fosters community, belonging, and off-the-charts engagement) -Be Anti-Fragile how to embrace volatility, build resilience, and thrive in uncertainty--when your competitors can't (or, how Taylor gamed the chaos of Covid shutdown to own the airwaves)-Don't Just Play the Game, Change It how to rewrite the rules on your own terms when your chips are down (or, how Taylor almost lost control of her music catalog to Private Equity--but re-recorded all her masters and took them back)

Building Businesses That Solve Meaningful Problems
This book began with a question that refused to let go: What if business could be a force for real change? For too long, the measure of success has been confined to spreadsheets and exit strategies, while the deeper potential of entrepreneurship to solve meaningful problems, to serve, to repair has been overlooked. This is for those who want more.It's for the frustrated: the entrepreneurs tired of building hollow ventures, the professionals weary of work that doesn't resonate, and the quietly determined who've seen a problem up close and thought, I could do something about this. The stories and insights here aren't theoretical. They're drawn from people who took action, who started small but thought big, who prioritized impact alongside income.This book is an argument for a different way forward. It challenges the assumption that purpose and profit are at odds, and instead shows how the most enduring businesses are those that address real human needs. You'll learn how to identify problems that matter not just those that sell and how to design solutions that last. You'll see why empathy is a competitive advantage, and how to sustain momentum when the work gets hard.The business world is at a turning point. The old rules are fading, making room for those who believe that building something meaningful isn't na簿ve it's necessary. If you're ready to align your work with your values, to create something that doesn't just function but matters, this book will meet you where you are. The first step is simple: Start with the problem, not the pitch. The rest will follow.

Forecasting Research and Development Program Budgets Using the Weibull Model
Norden (1970) uses the Rayleigh, which is a degenerative of the Weibull, to model manpower on research and development (RD) programs. Several research efforts extend his work including Lee, Hogue, and Gallagher (1997) who build RD program budgets based on Rayleigh expenditures. We demonstrate the theoretical limitations to the Rayleigh model and present the Weibull model, which mitigates those limitations. Using 102 completed RD defense programs, we develop regression models to predict the requisite shape and scale parameters to forecast Weibull-based budgets. Using the remaining 26 completed RD programs to validate the robustness of our regression models, we show that 100 and 96 percent of the least squares estimated shape and scale values respectively, fall within a 95 percent prediction interval. We determine the Weibull model's budget projection capability by comparing forecasted Weibull-based budgets to 128 completed RD program budgets and report an average correlation of 0.607. To determine the significance of our results we compare forecasted Rayleigh-based budgets to the same 128 completed program budgets. Using the Weibull over the Rayleigh model when applying Lee, Hogue, and Gallagher's (1997) methodology, we improve initial budget profile projections on average 60 percent.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Organizational and Individual Effects on The Reporting of Wrongdoing in the Workplace
This study focuses on the organizational context in which the act of whistle-blowing occurs within organizations. The study suggests that many aspects of the context in which whistle-blowing actually occurs may be within the span of control of managers. Thus, management can possibly take steps to alter certain aspects of the organizational context and ensure that organizational members are willing to report wrongdoing observed within their organization. To fulfill this objective, the study analyzes survey responses taken from military members' and civilian employees' responses to a 1997 survey distributed throughout the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Ohio.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

An Ethics Comparison Between the Military and Business Professional
Every individual possesses a morality compass. A morality compass is an individual's "inner voice" that provides guidance whenever an ethical dilemma presents itself. I firmly believe that an individual's morality compass is calibrated through innate knowledge, personal experiences, personal values, and organizational affiliations. In this research paper, I will focus on the organizational affiliation aspect. Society employs a set of ethical standards that it expects all individuals to follow. The question that this paper attempts to address is whether or not society's baseline standard is equally applied to all elements of society, or does society single out certain groups and hold those groups to a higher ethical standard. In an effort to present sound background information on the military's standard of ethics, I have reviewed the work of numerous authors in the area of military ethics.

An Ethics Comparison Between the Military and Business Professional
Every individual possesses a morality compass. A morality compass is an individual's "inner voice" that provides guidance whenever an ethical dilemma presents itself. I firmly believe that an individual's morality compass is calibrated through innate knowledge, personal experiences, personal values, and organizational affiliations. In this research paper, I will focus on the organizational affiliation aspect. Society employs a set of ethical standards that it expects all individuals to follow. The question that this paper attempts to address is whether or not society's baseline standard is equally applied to all elements of society, or does society single out certain groups and hold those groups to a higher ethical standard. In an effort to present sound background information on the military's standard of ethics, I have reviewed the work of numerous authors in the area of military ethics.

Islamic Economics, Growth and Development
The study of economic development is inherently grounded in philosophical and ethical assumptions. In other words, to discuss economic development either at a conceptual level or as a real process necessitates an ethical and philosophical basis. The authors of this book believe that Islamic economics can serve as such a basis, one that emanates from Islamic principles and values.This book presents a distinctive ethical and philosophical framework, one that is grounded in Islamic principles and the established literature of Islamic economics and finance, to analyse and interpret the concept of economic development, as well as to propose policy solutions to real-world development problems and challenges. The book contains theoretical and empirical studies, which connect the literature of Islamic economics with economic development. While some chapters discuss development at the conceptual/philosophical level, others examine the real-world issues faced by developing countries. It proposes institutional constructs as well as concrete public policies to face developmental challenges, such as fighting poverty and inequality, environmental and social sustainability, industrialisation and industrial policy and social services and human capital.Serving as both an introduction and a comprehensive resource, this book illustrates how the concepts and problems of economic development can be examined from an Islamic economics perspective, and, as such, will equip researchers and students with a basic understanding of how Islamic economics interacts with the issues of economic development.
