Exit Strategy Planning Grooming Your Business for Sale or Succession

Exit Strategy Planning Grooming Your Business for Sale or Succession

For private business owners managing a successful exit from their business is one of the most important events in their business lives. This book shows you how to do so with the minimum of fuss and maximum return. It is unique because the author writes from the owner's point of view bringing together in one place all you need to know about planning this complex process. Exit Strategy Planning emphasises the need to place exit planning on a firm foundation with taxation planning and business continuity planning providing the basis to ensure a smooth transition that will yield the maximum return. The first three parts of the book ('Laying the Foundations' 'Choosing your Exit Strategy' and 'Preparing and Implementing your Plans') present a best practice approach to this complex subject. Here the book highlights the importance of planning often several years in advance and explains the need to make the business 'investor ready' by identifying and removing impediments to sale. Part 3 culminates in a step-by-step guide to producing and implementing your Master Exit Strategy Plan. Following on from this the extensive appendices in Part 4 discuss in detail each of the exit options open to you (many of which you have probably never considered) and show how to choose the optimum exit route. Exit Strategy Planning is a book that will do more than save you time and money now and in the future; it will help you to maximise on what may well be a lifetime's investment. | Exit Strategy Planning Grooming Your Business for Sale or Succession

No Exit North Korea Nuclear Weapons and International Security

No Exit North Korea Nuclear Weapons and International Security

This book chronicles the political-military development of the Korean Peninsula since 1945 with particular attention to North Korea‘s pursuit of nuclear technology and nuclear weapons and how it has shaped Northeast Asian security and non-proliferation policy and influenced the strategic choices of the United States and all regional powers. I focus on North Korea‘s leaders institutions political history and the system‘s longer-term prospects. How has an isolated highly idiosyncratic small state repeatedly stymied or circumvented the policy preferences of much more powerful states culminating with its withdrawal from the Non Proliferation Treaty (the only state ever to do so) and the testing of nuclear weapons in open defiance of adversaries and allies alike? What does this portend for the region‘s future? Unlike most of the literature that focuses on US non proliferation policy this is a book about decision making in North Korea and the state‘s survival in the face of daunting odds. It draws on extensive interviews with individuals in China South Korea Japan Russia and the EU who have had ample experience in and with North Korea additional interviews with former US policy makers and the results from two visits to the North. The author makes extensive use of archival materials from the Cold War International History Project enabling a far fuller rendering of North Korean history than appears in most of the literature on the North Korean nuclear weapons issue. | No Exit North Korea Nuclear Weapons and International Security

Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences

Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences

Innovation is a translation of a new method idea or product into reality and profit. It is a process of connected steps that accumulates into a brand reputation required for success. Unlike Fortune 500 companies whose projects are self-funded a start-up must simultaneously have a value proposition that attracts a customer (for revenue) investors (for capital) and acquirers (for a liquidity event or IPO). A high percentage of start-ups fail before attaining positive cashflow due to a variety of reasons that are detailed in this book. Avoiding the pitfalls and wrong turns are the goals of this book. Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences details the methodologies necessary to create a successful life science start-up from initiation to exit. Written by an expert who has worked with more nearly 500 life science start-ups this book discusses specific processes and investor milestones that must be navigated to align customer funder and acquirer needs. Successful commercialization requires attention to multiple constituents such as investors regulators and customers. Investors require liquidity for their return which is achieved through selling their stock in a public or private sale. The reader will gain an appreciation for the necessary data partnerships and skills needed to create a competitive and sustainable company. The author discusses such specific issues as customer problems demonstrating sales access and ensuring intellectual property is impervious to competitive advancement. This book is intended to be suitable for entrepreneurs venture capitalists and investors in both business and academic settings. These organizations have specific departments such as R&D operations business development legal regulatory and marketing that would also benefit from this book. FEATURES Focuses specifically on life science start-ups Examines how to determine a company valuation and future fundable milestones Explores how to align regulatory and clinical strategies Discusses intellectual property derived from a university or individual through formation to exit. Reviews how start‐ups must simultaneously meet the needs of multiple constituencies at once: investors regulators customers and exit candidates James F. Jordan is an author consultant and speaker.

Analyzing Baseball Data with R Second Edition

Analyzing Baseball Data with R Second Edition

Analyzing Baseball Data with R Second Edition introduces R to sabermetricians baseball enthusiasts and students interested in exploring the richness of baseball data. It equips you with the necessary skills and software tools to perform all the analysis steps from importing the data to transforming them into an appropriate format to visualizing the data via graphs to performing a statistical analysis. The authors first present an overview of publicly available baseball datasets and a gentle introduction to the type of data structures and exploratory and data management capabilities of R. They also cover the ggplot2 graphics functions and employ a tidyverse-friendly workflow throughout. Much of the book illustrates the use of R through popular sabermetrics topics including the Pythagorean formula runs expectancy catcher framing career trajectories simulation of games and seasons patterns of streaky behavior of players and launch angles and exit velocities. All the datasets and R code used in the text are available online. New to the second edition are a systematic adoption of the tidyverse and incorporation of Statcast player tracking data (made available by Baseball Savant). All code from the first edition has been revised according to the principles of the tidyverse. Tidyverse packages including dplyr ggplot2 tidyr purrr and broom are emphasized throughout the book. Two entirely new chapters are made possible by the availability of Statcast data: one explores the notion of catcher framing ability and the other uses launch angle and exit velocity to estimate the probability of a home run. Through the book’s various examples you will learn about modern sabermetrics and how to conduct your own baseball analyses. Max Marchi is a Baseball Analytics Analyst for the Cleveland Indians. He was a regular contributor to The Hardball Times and Baseball Prospectus websites and previously consulted for other MLB clubs. Jim Albert is a Distinguished University Professor of statistics at Bowling Green State University. He has authored or coauthored several books including Curve Ball and Visualizing Baseball and was the editor of the Journal of Quantitative Analysis of Sports.

Memento Mori in Contemporary Art Theologies of Lament and Hope

Memento Mori in Contemporary Art Theologies of Lament and Hope

This book explores how four contemporary artists—Francis Bacon Joseph Beuys Robert Gober and Damien Hirst—pursue the question of death through their fraught appropriations of Christian imagery. Each artist is shown to not only pose provocative theological questions but also to question the abilities of theological speech to adequately address current attitudes to death. When set within a broader theological context around the thought of death Bacon’s works invite fresh readings of the New Testament’s narration of the betrayal of Christ and Beuys’ works can be appreciated for the ways they evoke Resurrection to envision possible futures for Germany in the aftermath of war. Gober’s immaculate sculptures and installations serve to create alternative religious environments and these places are both evocative of his Roman Catholic upbringing and virtually haunted by the ghosts of his excommunication from that past. Lastly and perhaps most problematically Hirst has built his brand as an artist from making jokes about death. By opening fresh arenas of dialogue and meaning-making in our society and culture today the rich humanity of these artworks promises both renewed depths of meaning regarding our exit from this world as well as how we might live well within it for the time that we have. As such it will be a vital resource for all scholars in Theology the Visual Arts Material Religion and Religious Studies. | Memento Mori in Contemporary Art Theologies of Lament and Hope

New Religious Movements and Counselling Academic Professional and Personal Perspectives

New Religious Movements and Counselling Academic Professional and Personal Perspectives

There are many different ways in which minority religions and counselling may interact. In some cases there can be antagonism between counselling services and minority religions with each suspecting they are ideologically threatened by the other but it can be argued that the most common relationship is one of ignorance – mental health professionals do not pay much attention to religion and often do not ask or consider their client’s religious affiliation. To date the understanding of this relationship has focused on the ‘anti-cult movement’ and the perceived need for members of minority religions to undergo some form of ‘exit counselling’. In line with the series this volume takes a non-judgemental approach and instead highlights the variety of issues religious groups and counselling approaches that are relevant at the interface between minority religion and counselling. The volume is divided into four parts: Part I offers perspectives on counselling from different professions; Part II offers chapters from the field leaders directly involved in counselling former members of minority religions; Part III offers unique personal accounts by members and former members of a number of different new religions; while Part IV offers chapters on some of the most pertinent current issues in the counselling/minority religions fields written by new and established academics. In every section the volume seeks to explore different permutations of the counsellor-client relationship when religious identities are taken into account. This includes not only ‘secular’ therapists counselling former members of religion but the complexities of the former member turned counsellor as well as counselling practised both within religious movements and by religious movements that offer counselling services to the ‘outside’ world. | New Religious Movements and Counselling Academic Professional and Personal Perspectives

Innovation Globalization and Firm Dynamics Lessons for Enterprise Policy

This book is about the relationship between firm dynamics innovation and globalization the processes that are essential for long term economic growth and welfare creation. This volume deals with these three issues in three sections titled respectively: entrepreneurship new firm formation and growth; productivity-innovation-growthnexus; globalization multinational firms and producers’ dynamics. The book presents new studies written by distinguished researchers in the field who use state-of-the-art methodologies and extensive sources of firm- and plant-level longitudinal data to analyze and understand these major economic issues facing modern economies. In the first section the book proposes two comprehensive introductory surveys which explore in detail the underpinnings of entrepreneurship new firm formation and growth in advanced and developing countries. The second fundamental issue productivity-innovation and firm dynamics is approached by examining key drivers of selection mechanisms such as size scale elasticity innovative efforts financial fragility of the firms barriers to entry and exit capital and financial market distortions institutional inefficiencies and other market imperfections which affect the ability of firms to expand or enter. The third section examines differences linkages and intertwined evolution of foreign and domestic firms in their dynamics of survival and growth in different institutional contexts and periods. Each chapter includes a detailed discussion of the implications of the respective analyses for enterprise policy. In a concluding chapter the overall implications for enterprise policy of the analyses presented in the different chapters are drawn by the Editors. This approach ensures that the book is integrated around a coherent central theme in comprehensive framework. The book responds to a growing concern among scholars professionals and policy makers over the recent decades about firm ability to survive and compete in a context of increasing globalization and international competition. The approach adopted is both theoretical and empirical with consideration of paradigmatic case studies in Europe Africa and Asia providing new evidence on developed developing and transition economies in a comparative perspective. The cases selected represent different levels of development different firms strategies and paths with distinct outcomes. The book is an essential reading for scholars and students concerned with industry development public policy and globalization as well as to all those involved professionally in such issues. | Innovation Globalization and Firm Dynamics Lessons for Enterprise Policy
