Economic Analysis of Property Rights
The standard neoclassical model of economics is incapable of explaining why one form of organization arises over another. It is a model where transaction costs are implicitly assumed to not exist; however, transaction costs are here defined as the costs of strengthening a given distribution of economic property rights, and they always exist. Economic Analysis of Property Rights is a study of how individuals organise resources to maximise the value of their economic rights over these resources. It offers a unified theoretical structure to deal with exchange, rights formation, and organisation that traditional economic theory often ignores. It explains how transaction costs can be reduced through reorganization and, in the end, how the distribution of property rights that exists is the one that maximizes wealth net of these transaction costs. This necessary hypothesis explains much of the puzzling organizations and institutions that exist now and have existed in the past.

Knowledge management - A strong strategic factor
As a final exam for her degree, she decided to gain a better understanding of employee knowledge management within large companies, and to do so she sought a theoretical basis in the work of various authors. The beginning of the creation of organisational knowledge is the transformation of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge and vice versa, and it should be understood as a process that extends the knowledge created by individuals "organisationally". Knowledge is an exclusive attribute of human beings, whose tacit knowledge forms the basis of organisational knowledge. Although organisations provide the means to generate, multiply and, above all, justify the use of knowledge in products and services that are desirable to societies, they cannot create knowledge on their own, which is why it is up to the organisation to provide the right context for the activities of individuals in order to facilitate the creation, dissemination, retention and application of knowledge in order to enrich the organisation as a whole and the environment in which it operates.

Ontological Coaching as a strategy for organizational success
Ontology has philosophical origins and is called the theory of "Being", it comes from the Greek, from the verb to be, to be, science, study, theory. Ontological coaching deals with the reflection that the human being can make on himself, through language and by means of it, change his way of observing his reality. By being aware of this, he begins to discover the origin of his behaviors, giving him the freedom to modify those that do not work for those that give him greater stability and personal power. This expands your range of possibilities of action to achieve brilliant results and out of the ordinary. By creating awareness of the patterns of behavior that he/she manages in his/her life and what is the origin of these, the individual reaches a new knowledge of how he/she is structured. This gives him/her access to see a new possibility, which provides a sense of lightness, tranquility, peace and harmony.
The General Model of Working Capital Management
This book integrates Working Capital Management, Trade Credit, and Supply-Chain Finance in a comprehensive framework, illustrated by dozens of case studies, including a leading case which explains how improved working capital practices have led to over U$1 billion in savings for a large company. The General Model of Working Capital Management consolidates the aspects of these subjects spread across different disciplines, such as finance, accounting, operations, marketing, and more. It includes enough material to make the book accessible to a broad audience, from introductory undergraduate courses to business executives. Offering managerial lessons to optimize companies' cash flow, case studies run the whole gamut, from the small business owner who cried in an executive class when realizing how bad working capital management almost destroyed his business to the significance of Amazon's and Tesco's negative cash conversion cycle for their expansion. Formal models include the relationship between market power and value extraction through changes in payment terms for consumers and suppliers, in-kind finance, and trade credit with asymmetric competing retailers. The book also explores how just-in-time strategies developed under capital constraints to limit working capital investments; they are more than the search for production efficiency. Finally, the chapter about the greening of supply chains describes how companies that can extract resources from their supply chain or act as trade credit lenders have a crucial role in mitigating climate change.

Everybody's Guide to Money Matters (Annotated)
"Everybody's Guide to Money Matters " is written by William Cotton, F.S.A. The text appears to describe various types of investments, primarily those dealt with on the stock exchange, and provides guidance on how to navigate these investments. It also promises to provide some account of the potential pitfalls for the unwary investor and offers suggestions for cautious investment. William Cotton is noted as the late treasurer of the county of Devon and the originator of the postal order system. The idea of money as a way of acquiring desired items from others is introduced in this article. An article's price would be the quantity of money the holder of the product believes it's worth, and it's the way of measuring its worth. Specific items are priced by law or custom.In the United Kingdom gold is the unit of value as well as most commodity prices are estimated using coins of various denominations to represent gold. The chapter then describes the various denominations of UK coins - classified into gold, silver and bronze categories.The book also discusses the forms of cash, like bank notes, which are merely offers to spend the billed sum in gold or other legal tender. Bank of England notes may be legally exchanged for gold on request and are recognized as payment of debt.Banknotes alone might not meet the requirements of business as the threat of theft or loss might be too great to satisfy them. Banks serve as intermediaries, offering services for buying, selling as well as transferring money to address this issue. The chapter ends with a demonstration of exactly how a customer, Miss. Jane Smith, can open an account to deposit her cash in a bank to keep safe.The work offers a simple overview of money, financial activities, and banking. It offers fundamental information regarding money types and the role of banks in enabling financial transactions. The chapter emphasizes the significance of currency as a method of exchange and a measure of worth. Banks can function as intermediaries for individuals to handle their cash and make payments efficiently and safely, as highlighted in this document.Miss Jane Smith is a good example of exactly how these concepts are able to be put into action - how individuals could make use of banking services to manage their finances. It subtly introduces the concept of financial literacy as needed for people to manage their finances independently & confidently. This indicates that insufficient financial knowledge can result in dependency on others and potential financial risk exposure.The book details how a bank account functions, using the continuing example of Miss Smith. The bank holds the cash she deposits in a present account and utilizes the cash while not paying any interest.
