Originally published in 1994. What is a self-reliant manager? The self-reliant manager is one who can grow an organization by…
exploiting his or her role in the management of people. Not every manager is involved in top-level decision-making and the development of global strategies. Every manager is, however, by being involved in managing the people in an organization, empowered to take the company forward. The book covers key topics such as empowerment, motivation, performance appraisal, the development of management learning systems, environmental awareness, ethics, and management style. It presents a model to show how managers can improve their own effectiveness. To succeed with people, managers need to understand themselves, the internal framework of their organization and the external environment in which their business operates. They have become self-reliant to develop the leadership and vision needed to influence their organization.By John B. Davis. 1996

of Macroeconomic Policy asks why. It begins with the observation that there is no convincing economic argument that full employment should be the primary objective of economic policy in all circumstances. In the light of this it examines whcy policy has failed so consistantly. It explains this by a theory of the labour market which shows why most workers are happy to operate in a way which militates against full employment. It then proceeds to analyse the rather dire consequences of this for the budget deficit.By Bob Powers, Alan Ellis. 1995

This book discusses the effectiveness of Western organizations’ social media strategies in the Middle East. Social media has changed the…
rules of doing business, but the exact impacts vary across regions. In the context of Middle Eastern societies, social media is seen as a way for individuals and communities to communicate with each other and is generally not viewed as a means for brands to interact with individuals. Examining how the use of social media in the Middle East is shaped by the region’s culture, authors discuss the factors that businesses need to consider when creating digital marketing strategies targeted there. Including case studies of Middle Eastern companies, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the rise of social media in the MENA region and the often-neglected role of culture in research in this area. It will provide researchers and practitioners with a deeper understanding of conducting business in the Middle East through the effective and efficient use of social media.By John W. Graham, Wendy C. Havlick. 1994
