The Six-Legged Dog
The Six-Legged Dog: Mattei and ENI--A Study in Power by Dow Votaw is a penetrating investigation of one of postwar Europe's most fascinating industrial empires. Votaw traces the extraordinary rise of Enrico Mattei, the partisan-turned-businessman whose audacity transformed Italy's state hydrocarbon agency (ENI) into a global petroleum and energy power. Through methane pipelines in the Po Valley, aggressive concession diplomacy in the Middle East and Africa, and even controversial barter deals with the Soviet Union, Mattei consolidated influence that rivaled both governments and multinational oil majors. The book details not only how ENI reversed Italy's energy shortages but also how Mattei's six-legged dog became a fiery symbol of national pride, political controversy, and international disruption. Drawing on extensive interviews, ENI documents, and contemporary Italian political debate, Votaw situates ENI in the broader problem of public corporations--neither wholly state bureaus nor private enterprises, but a "third form" wielding immense autonomy. He examines ENI's apparatus of power: its statutory mandate, management structure, concession agreements, and propaganda machine (including ownership of the daily Il Giorno). As much a study of modern power theory as of one man's career, The Six-Legged Dog offers lessons on monopoly, nationalism, and the global struggle between private capital, public enterprise, and emerging nations. It remains a landmark account of how energy, politics, and personality reshaped Italy's economic destiny. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1964.

The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business
America's Art of War -- this book should be taught in every business school in America. Its awesome! - George Lang, Ohio Senator and Founder of the Small Business First Caucus. In The Gunfighter's Guide to Business, we learn why "shooting from the hip" is an example of quality and delivery that should be sought after, not avoided. Finally, an American book of strategy from a capitalist culture is a viable, modern interpretation of classics such as The Art of War, The Book of Five Rings, The Goal, and The Machine that Changed the World. In this work, the author unleashes through the sport of Fast Draw overlooked aspects of Western Civilization that gave rise to the greatest economy in the history of the world. Across the tapestry of human endeavor that was battle-tested during the Wild West in North America where East met West for really the first time in history and is poised to free unlimited success in the minds of the everyday businessperson working in the trenches in modern times. They may have traded their six guns for ties, pens, and emails, but the goals are the same as they have always been, success! A new view of management is unleashed here, termed by the author as "ghosting it," which refers to an obscure objective that allows definitions of leadership to evolve and brew into a work culture becoming legendary along the way, just as the old gunslingers of yesteryear proved possible. The old West is not dead but instead is very much alive as we aim our business goals toward space and look to conquer the next frontier, as we did the previous one, as humanity climbs further out into its own evolution against all odds and bravely faces tomorrow the way gunfighters faced down villains on dusty streets in a time not so long forgotten.

OECD Skills Outlook 2021
Lifelong learning is key if individuals are to succeed in labour markets and societies shaped by megatrends such as increases in life expectancy, rapid technological changes, globalisation, migration, environmental changes and digitalisation, as well as sudden shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic. In a fast-changing and uncertain world, lifelong learning can help individuals adapt and become resilient to external shocks. While government support remains valuable to ensure that major structural changes do not lead to deep tears in the social fabric, creating a culture of lifelong learning gives individuals themselves agency to manage change. This calls for evidence on the best ways to support lifelong learning journeys, so that individuals can "learn how to learn". This edition of the OECD Skills Outlook 2021 explores how policies, particularly those that govern skills development and use, can best promote lifelong learning for all. The report exploits comparative quantitative data to highlight the key role played by socio-emotional and motivational factors in shaping successful engagement with lifelong learning. While such factors are essential to sustain lifelong learning in general, the pandemic has further increased their relevance.

Leading with Love
As business becomes more automated, power more concentrated, and the forces of competition and consumption seem to dominate our lives, we are in danger of losing what it is to be human. Work for many can be a soulless activity, creating feelings of disempowerment, alienation, and depression. Learning to lead with love is a counterforce to the instrumentalisation of the person. This book presents original research based on leaders who were nominated by their people for leading with love. It shows how they learned to lead with love for the benefit of themselves, their organisations, and their people. It shows that leading with love is something that is practised by leaders who are more emotionally, morally, and spiritually mature. Leading with love is a sign of psychological maturity, whilst leading with fear is a sign of hindered emotional and spiritual development. Based on this research, this book presents a simple framework to help leaders who wish to develop their psychological maturity and apply practices which will enable them to successfully lead with love.

Moral Injury Among Returning Veterans
Josh Morris privileges the voices of veterans to argue that returning soldiers need families, friends, and religious communities to listen to their stories with compassion to avoid amplifying the effects of moral injury. When society greets returning soldiers in ways that reinforce cultural norms that frame military service as heroic, rather than acknowledging its ambiguities and harmful effects, it exacerbates moral injury and keeps veterans from resolving inner conflicts and coping effectively with civilian life. Morris, a military chaplain and veteran who served in Afghanistan, knows these difficulties first hand. Using stories from other veterans, Morris helps us see how cultural assumptions about military service can complicate moral injury and a veteran's return home. Drawing from liberation theologies, ideology critique, and Antonio Gramsci's advocacy for the working class, the book suggests useful perspectives and spiritual care resources for military chaplains, religious leaders, caregivers, and concerned civilians. Morris argues that military chaplains are uniquely positioned to help returning soldiers resist the amplification of existing moral injury. Moving from "thank you for your service" to liberative solidarity can galvanize resistance and make change possible.

This report discusses five main policy levers and their effect on process quality, focusing particularly on curriculum and pedagogy, and workforce development. It presents indicators covering 26 countries and jurisdictions, 56 different curriculum frameworks, and more than 120 different types of ECEC settings.

Social Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility
This book provides professionals, as well as students, with the understanding that Social Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are now core business principles for sustainably. It encourages social entrepreneurs in their role as forerunners, in creating new business models that develop, facilitate or implement constructive solutions to social, cultural and environmental issues. At the same time, this book views corporate social responsibility as a means of challenging existing entities to realize and modify prior unsustainable and predatory business models; and to increase social, cultural and environmental accountability. By linking these two concepts, this book prompts a paradigmatic awakening, whereby the foundational driver of business creation and management no longer rests on profit maximization, but on improvement of the quality of life for society.

The 'Girl' Entrepreneurs 3
In my 30-year journey as an entrepreneur, I have realised how impactful it is to learn from the experience of other people, as a guide to build a successful business. In this book I have sought to celebrate women who have, despite all the challenges of our environment, actively worked to build a successful enterprise in Nigeria. This book will take you on the journey of these women; you will learn about their motivations, setbacks, and strategies they have adopted to build enduring legacies. They reveal information about their backgrounds, start-up stages, growth patterns, how they scaled up their businesses, the impact of the choice of a spouse on their businesses, work life balance, spirituality, and their plans for the future. My goal in creating this compendium, is to use the stories and experiences of these women as a tool to challenge, inspire and encourage other women and men to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and opportunities. This will in turn create value for their families, whilst contributing to the building of our economy as a nation.

The Routledge Companion to Ethics, Politics and Organizations
The Routledge Companion to Ethics, Politics and Organizations synthesizes and extends existing research on ethics in organizations by explicitly focusing on 'ethico-politics' - where ethics informs political action. It draws connections between ethics and politics in and around organizations and the workplace, examines cutting-edge areas and sets the scene for future research.Through a wealth of international and multidisciplinary contributions this volume considers the broad range of ways in which ethics and politics can be conceived and understood. The chapters look at various ethical traditions, as well as the discursive deployment of ethical terminology in organizational settings, and they also examine large scale political structures and processes and how they relate to different forms of politics which affect behaviour in organizations. These many possibilities are united by a focus on how ethics can be used to inform and justify the exercise of power in organizations.This collection will be a valuable reference source for students and researchers across the disciplines of organizational studies, ethics and politics.

Penny Stocks
Everyone has heard of the major stock exchanges where ownership shares of major companies are bought and sold and the fortunes of day traders are won and lost. While it is certainly possible to get rich while trading in the big leagues, it can often be difficult for those who are starting off from a relatively cash-strapped place to ever generate the momentum required to ensure a massive payday when dealing with stocks. Here is a preview of what you can expect to learn: - What penny stocks are- Benefits of investing in penny stocks- Why penny stocks are considered risky- How to address the risks of penny stocks trading- Effective techniques to making money with penny stocks trading- How to spot a scam- When to take profits or losses- And much, much more!Penny stocks sound alluring to people who are interested in getting into investing. For starters, they sound cheaper than other options, and not all of us have unlimited capital to work with (hence the desire to learn a trade such as investing). However, along with their affordable reputation, penny stocks are also known for being volatile, risky, and sometimes, downright dangerous.
