Why is it that some people who earn huge incomes always seem to be strapped for money while others with modest incomes manage to enjoy a surprising degree of financial independence? The answer, says respected financial planning authority James A. Barry, Jr., is that smart, savvy money management always has been and always will be the most important factor in achieving the complete financial freedom that everyone dreams of. This book - which cites numerous cases of people who have doubled and tripled their net worth through the financial decisions they've made - explains how you can launch a strategic long-term plan that will develop and enhance your money power regardless of your income or current level of wealth! What's more, with the help of the author, you'll learn how to select and effectively carry out a plan that's specifically geared both to your own definition of "financial freedom," which varies from individual to individual, and to your own particular "comfort zone" in balancing risk against reward. Discover how to make a financial plan that's right for your current situation - and know when and how to change it as your circumstances change; how to employ one simple mathematical formula that will show you which money management strategies will double your capital over time; where you can find investment opportunities today that offer a total return of 12-plus percent or better!; how to use your tax returns as a financial planning tool; how to choose - and manage - financial advisors, making sure that all the decisions they make are in your best interest; how to buy insurance programs that will protect you without bankrupting you; how to manage higher education costs; plus, how to capitalize on annuities and pension plans ... find tax advantaged investments ... buy property for maximum gain ... plan for a comfortable retirement ... and protect your assets through proper estate planning.

Drawing on sociology and social policy, this intriguing volume considers various aspects of gender and professional identity. Contributors explore the inter-relationship between managerialism, professionalism and gender identity in Britain, and examine the processes and impacts of change on those working in public sector organizations in other countries as they come under varying managerial pressures. The subject is viewed from a variety of perspectives, including feminism and post-modernism. With an international range of contributors, this important book brings together an array of ideas about gender and professionals and provides an important contribution to the growing debates on gender and the workplace. A significant volume for both postgraduates and professionals in the fields of management and business studies, Gender and the Public Sector provides a more sophisticated analysis of international public sector change than is currently available elsewhere.

Organization and Management: A Critical Text goes beyond the descriptive and managerial accounts of organizational behaviour. It offers a more critical and reflective text which contextualises and criticises conventional wisdom and attempts to re-orient the field by offering alternative approaches to the study of organizational behaviour. The authors take account of historical developments and key issues and ideas in their social, political, economic and global context. Areas examined include labour process issues, gender and other identities, flexibility and globalisation. More recent post-structuralist and post-modern approaches are also explored.

This book provides a comprehensive and critical introduction to organizational behaviour. It analyses key issues, themes and theories and gives readers direct access to essential readings and articles in the area. Organisation and Identities draws on a wide variety of disciplines to develop a fuller understanding of the complexities and contradictions of organizational life. Seminal readings and lesser known contributions from writers as diverse as Weber, Taylor, E.P. Thompson, R. Moss Kanter, Freud and Janis explore the relationship between the social and individual identities which shape, and are shaped by, organizations. Editorial commentaries outline the theoretical background and context of the readings in each section and discuss their continuing relevance to the study of organizational behaviour.
