Tax Planning and Good Management Practices
The present contribution deals with the organizational behavior within the scope of tax planning, emphasizing especially the management options in view of the instruments made available to companies by the legislator, both at national and international levels. Thus, we emphasize the study of tax planning as a management tool, that is, as a perfectly legitimate means; and not as a tool of abuse or even tax evasion. Throughout the preparation of our work we verified that the Portuguese tax system encourages/potentiates some tax planning practices, when used with legitimate purposes, or if the legislator did not grant deductions to the tax collection, exemptions and tax benefits, for example.The major contribution of our work in academic, scientific and practical terms is a careful analysis of the state of the art in the doctrine, accompanied by an in-depth study of the various tax codes, so that, fundamentally, managers may be provided with valid information that enables the best management options regarding tax planning intra legem.
Simulation-Based Optimization of Energy Efficiency in Production
The importance of the energy and commodity markets has steadily increased since the first oil crisis. The sustained use of energy and other resources has become a basic requirement for a company to competitively perform on the market. The modeling, analysis and assessment of dynamic production processes is often performed using simulation software. While existing approaches mainly focus on the consideration of resource consumption variables based on metrologically collected data on operating states, the aim of this work is to depict the energy consumption of production plants through the utilization of a continuous simulation approach in combination with a discrete approach for the modeling of material flows and supporting logistic processes. The complex interactions between the material flow and the energy usage in production can thus be simulated closer to reality, especially the depiction of energy consumption peaks becomes possible. An essential step towards reducing energy consumption in production is the optimization of the energy use of non-value-adding production phases.
Organisation Der Servicetransformation
​Die hohe Bedeutung von Dienstleistungen f羹r das Leistungsangebot produktorientierter Unternehmen erfordert eine grundlegende strategische Ver瓣nderung dieser Unternehmen, mit Konsequenzen f羹r ihren organisatorischen und strukturellen Aufbau. Bettina B羹rkin entwickelt in dieser Arbeit ein ganzheitliches Transformationsmodell mit dem Schwerpunkt der Dualit瓣t f羹r diese Servicetransformation und leistet so einen konzeptionellen und praktischen Beitrag zur Umsetzung dienstleistungsorientierter Strategien in produktorientierten Unternehmen. Dazu findet eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit den konzeptionellen Grundlagen und den Besonderheiten der Servicetransformation statt. Des Weiteren werden im Rahmen einer organisationstheoretischen Analyse die Kontingenztheorie, Ambidextrie und Dualit瓣tstheorie im Hinblick auf ihren theoretischen Erkl瓣rungsbeitrag f羹r die Duale Organisation f羹r die Servicetransformation bewertet. Die Autorin zeigt weiterhin anhand zweier idealtypischer Transformationspfade die Anwendung des Transformationsmodells f羹r unterschiedliche Organisationsformen und -kontexte. Auf Basis ihrer konzeptionellen Arbeit und den Ergebnissen einer qualitativen Untersuchung werden schlie?lich Handlungsempfehlungen f羹r die reflektierte, situationsspezifische Vorbereitung und Anwendung des Transformationsmodells gegeben.

Strategic Planning for Urban Transportation
This book focuses on the adoption of a Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) approach to support the planning and management of urban transportation systems. DPM allows one to embrace a dynamic and systemic perspective and, as a result, to frame the contribution of different stakeholders, in terms of outcome-based performance, at an inter-institutional level. The discussed DPM approach allows one to focus on the causal relationships and feedback processes that characterize urban transportation systems' governance. Particularly, through the adoption of such an approach, it is possible to identify outcome-based performance measures that help to monitor and drive the governance network toward the creation of public value for the reference communities.Strategic Planning for Urban Transportation: A Dynamic Performance Management Approach begins with an examination of urban transportation, highlighting the main criticalities and future challenges of managing it. Next, the book examines the governance of urban transportation including how to identify and engage stakeholders. Finally, the book introduces the main application of DPM and system dynamics to urban areas, with specific regards to transportation. The framework is outlined, and a case study is provided as a practical example of how to apply the model. This book should be useful to urban transportation decision-makers at both the managerial and political level.

Uses and Limitations of the Ahp Method
This book examines the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, its varied uses, as well as its limitations for solving real-world scenarios. While the simplicity of the method compels users to find shortcuts to a real-world problem, it also leads to obtaining wrong results that do not represent reality. By alerting practitioners about the core necessities of a new scenario, this book helps solve this problem, as well as contribute to the field of Multicriteria Decision Making Method (MDCM). The authors use a demonstrative, rather than a theoretical approach, and examine 30 subjects that displays the shortcomings and drawbacks of the AHP. Each one is examined in-depth, discussed, debated and reasoned, using examples, some of them numeric. The book highlights the rationality and common sense of the subjects, and in most cases, validates the criticism by showing through numerical examples, the impossibility of the AHP method to address, let alone solve real-world projects. At the conclusion of each subject, a table is built comparing the similarities and differences between the opinions of the authors and other experts, along with the respective pros and cons.

Corporate Governance
The recognition of the profound impact of corporations on the economies and societies of all countries of the world has focused attention on the growing importance of corporate governance. There is an ongoing diversity of corporate governance systems, based on historical cultural and institutional differences that involve different approaches to the values and objectives of business activity. Sound corporate governance is universally recognised as essential to market integrity and efficiency, providing a vital underpinning for financial stability and economic growth. As the adequacy of the existing dominant paradigms of corporate governance are increasingly challenged, the search for coherent new paradigms is a vital task for corporate governance in the future.

Sensei Secrets
This study examines the developmental interactions between Japanese senseis (mentors) and early American leaders at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK). More specifically, this study examines why and how these early American leaders transitioned from the initiation phase of a mentor relationship to the active and transforma- tional participation of the cultivation phase. This research identifies characteristics of developmental interactions so that other leaders and mentors can effectively adapt Toyo- ta-style management practices and thinking.Though the professionalization of Toyota Production Systems (TPS), also known as lean manufacturing, or sim- ply lean, has proven to be vast, the success rate of emula- tion and adaptation of sustained TPS has been low. One of the many problems that organizations face when adapting TPS is executive resistance and misunderstanding of lean management and leadership (Emiliani, 2018; Sherman, 1994). Toyota faced a similar problem of resistance when it hired leaders from other automotive companies into Toyota during the initial years at TMMK. Understanding how Toy- ota overcame this resistance offers insight into better mento- ring for adapting TPS.This study performs qualitative interviews using oral history and grounded theory techniques. It specifically identifies characteristics of the transition from the initiation to cultivation phases of mentor relationships within TMMK from 1986 to 1992. This research illustrates how leaders who never before experienced the Toyota culture experienced transformation within mentor relationships, which enabled them to adopt Toyota's frame of reference for solving prob-lems and ultimately Toyota's culture. The findings may prove adaptable and beneficial for other leaders and execu- tives adopting TPS.

Leadership
Dr Andy Brough shows the relationship between leading self, leading others, leading teams, and leading for results. Balancing strong academic research with interviews of leaders from various sectors of society, he explores how, when these 12 leadership principles are catalyzed, the result is an exponential effect at a team and organisational level. It takes the right elements, in the right place, at the right time.ENDORSEMENTS"Dr Andy Brough has, in a few 100 pages, helped elevate our understanding of leadership for the modern age. He takes us on a well-researched and informative journey with relevant examples and testimonies across a wide range of industries and sectors with a powerful message for all those aspiring to leadership. As an experienced practitioner working inside and alongside organizations, Andy offers us pragmatic advice and a set of tools and approaches to support how we amplify the impact of leadership. In the current context, his approach to amplify leadership as an impact you have in service of others, really resonates. As organizations strive to adapt; becoming flatter, less hierarchical, and more networked - the need for greater leadership from all increases. By connecting how we think about leadership in terms of self, the team and the wider organizational context, Andy has given us an opportunity to think in a more connected way on how to deliver the positive, exponential impact of leadership.-Robin LilleyGlobal Director of Leadership, Learning & Development, The Coca Cola Company, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The Invaluable Assistant
Are you indispensable... or invaluable?Many assistants (and those in a wide variety of other roles) have traditionally considered themselves indispensable. But learning the difference between these two mindsets is crucial to your success and job security in your role as an executive administrative partner.Your position is indispensable; if you don't prove your added value to your leader and your organization, you are not. That value is reflected in the mindsets, attributes and skill sets that executives prize in their assistants. Fully understanding and demonstrating your value moves you from being considered merely "indispensable" to being truly "invaluable."In "The Invaluable Assistant" Sandy Geroux shares, directly from executives, hard-hitting tips, skills and mindsets that executive assistants need in order to stay on top of their game and help executives stay on top of theirs. Through these tips and enlightening stories and examples, you will learn how to go from being in the average position where "anyone else will do" to the enviable position where "no one else will do!"
Workforce Planning and Scheduling
Scheduling staff shifts is a difficult task. In organizations that work on Sundays, and/or on public holidays, and/or during night hours, scheduling shifts accurately and efficiently is a time consuming job, and it also exposes employers to the risk of excessive overtime costs and poor distribution of workload among employees.In order to be efficient, anyone who has the task of planning the activities of an organization must learn to perform two activities that are interconnected but distinct: first, he must learn to represent the data specific to his organization's problem in an organized manner, ideally resolving the matter manually, with pen and paper; then, he must learn to use a software dedicated to the problem of shift scheduling.This book teaches how to address the problem of allocating tasks systematically, and also teaches how to use a dedicated software program to achieve this purpose without wasting time with repetitive tasks in search of the best organizational solution, operations that can be performed by a computer.Thus, in this book we will first discuss the data analysis of the problem that needs to be addressed before making use of any software tool. We will then proceed by giving examples and referring to one of the most efficient and cheap software solutions available on the market: ZonaTEAM, produced by Zonabit Sistemi.Attentive readers of this book will become experts in planning, and will acquire the ability to plan with full and rational use of available human resources, saving in overtime costs, all the while providing fair treatment of employees.
