The Five-Year Stellar Stock Index and The Yield On Cost Gold Mine
This is not a story book. This book is an instructional manual based on financial research. Sorry, but it's all about the numbers. To appreciate the powerful investment approach that the FYSSI supports, you will have to understand the numbers. Just simple adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, decimal points and percentages. This is not a get rich quick scheme. If you can grasp the measure and the magnitude of how your investments (big or small) can grow, and how money can make money, you will perhaps feel much better about your monetary future. The intent is to provide a list of stocks that illustrate excellent investment choices. The Five-Year Stellar Stock Index (FYSSI - pronounced "Fizzy") can help you achieve a far better return than the average annual return you can get with an S&P 500 index fund.

The Political Economy of Interwar Foreign Investment
France was interwar Poland's main ally, and the biggest source of the country's foreign investment. The two roles were closely connected: Paris used its position in Warsaw to win preferential treatment for its firms, while Polish authorities depended on France to finance their modernization policies and military spending. The relationship's asymmetric character bred conflict, and in the 1930s dissenting voices compared French actions in Poland to imperialism and colonial expansion. This book untangles the complex mix of economics, policy, and politics in Franco-Polish relations. Based on government and company-level sources, it evaluates the part played by French capital in Poland and discovers the mechanisms ruling French FDI and public loans. Exploring case studies of specific sectors and themes, it asks questions about the modernizing potential of FDI, interwar economic imperialism, the workings of asymmetric investment, and the interactions between investments and politics. Understanding the unequal footing of Warsaw and Paris, it goes beyond imperialistic interpretations, and examines the leeway available to the weaker partner of the relationship. The book contributes to economic history of Central and Eastern Europe, and, more generally, to our understanding of the position of peripheral countries in the interwar global system.

Agency Pods
Agency Pods represent a revolutionary shift in organisational structure. For more than a century, businesses have unknowingly held themselves back by traditionally organising their teams by job function. While it might sound sensible, this organisational structure places strict limits on the ability for organisations to grow, innovate, and acquire talent. Enter the Agency Pod; a new way to organise employees that breaks from the traditional constraints of function-based set ups. With this innovative new industry structure, employees are aligned into small, cross-functional teams, or Pods, that act as internal agencies responsible for specific clients every need. This contrasts the traditional single function model, where departments handle only small parts of client or project deliverables, creating a highly collaborative, nimble, and laser focused environment which allows organisations of all kinds to become much more responsive to client requests and changing market conditions. As this new business organisational structure takes the corporate world by storm, leading System Integrators and Service Providers globally have either already moved to the pod model or are hastily doing so. In Agency Pods: The Definitive Guide, Bhatti and Biddiscombe blow the lid off one of the most closely guarded secrets in business consulting by explaining how to implement it, how to measure it, and what success looks like.

An Investigation of Prioritizing Research Topics in Professional Communication
This research explored which areas and methods of research need to be identified and developed to most effectively communicate business and technical information. The research was sparked by the current literature which indicates that a gap exists between academicians, who do most of the research, and practitioners, who utilize the research results. This effort was intended to address possible causes of this problem by establishing the importance of nine research topic areas, six data collection methods/sources, and three data analysis methods for both academicians and researchers and other demographic characteristics. The research concludes that the participants generally agreed on which factors were most important. Findings indicated that researchers and practitioners tended to agree on data analysis methods and data collection methods/sources but did show some disagreement on research topic areas. The research also uncovered evidence that demographic characteristics such as level of degree, area of degree, job, and English as a first language may influence which factors are considered to be most important to the professional communication process.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 Evaluation of Public and Private Sector Housing Alternatives for Military Families
This study explored the three primary housing alternatives along with their associated benefits and costs for military members at Robins Air Force Base. Using a case study methodology, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from contract documents, cost records, statements and testimonies to Congress, literature, census data, and interviews with civil engineering, contracting, financial management and legal professionals. This data was analyzed to determine which housing alternative seems to provide the best benefits at the lowest costs for military members and the government. The results of the study indicated that private sector alternatives are less expensive than government provided housing. In addition, it appears that the MHPI is reaching its goals of providing housing faster and at a lower cost to the American taxpayer than traditional on base housing.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
