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

The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

This title was first published in 2001. This work examines four post-Cold War interventions launched on behalf of people on the move: international action in Iraq Bosnia Somalia and Rwanda. Because these crises accompanied the emergence of the concept of Internationally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in international relations they have shaped the understandings of forced displacement issues such as ethnic cleansing need and humanitarian action. The author looks at attitudes towards IDPs concluding that UN-backed interventions regarding displaced civilians were primarily about deterring sometimes preventing them from escaping places of conflict. Protection in this context became a device by which international protagonists sought to contain people on the move within the confines of their collapsed states. As a result levels of safety effectively granted by the international community depended less on the vulnerability of populations than on Western fears of mass border crossings. | The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

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

Tourism and Memory Visitor Experiences of the Nazi and GDR Past

Tourism and Memory Visitor Experiences of the Nazi and GDR Past

This book considers tourism to memorial sites from a visitor’s point of view challenging established theories in tourism and memory studies by critically appraising Germany’s often celebrated memory culture. Based on visitor observations and exit interviews this book examines how domestic and international visitors negotiate their visits to the concentration camp memorials Ravensbrück and Flossenbürg the House of the Wannsee Conference and the former Stasi prison Bautzen II. It argues that memorial sites are melting pots where family national and global narratives meet. For German visitors the visit to memorial sites is a confrontation with Germany's responsibility for the two dictatorships while for international visitors it can be a form of 'seeing is believing'. Ultimately it is the immediacy of the space that is the most important part of the visit. Rooted in an interdisciplinary approach this book will be of interest to academics and students in German Studies Tourism and Heritage Studies Museum Studies Public History and Memory Studies. | Tourism and Memory Visitor Experiences of the Nazi and GDR Past

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
