Anzeigepflichten für Steuergestaltungen in Deutschland: Verfassungs- und europarechtliche Grenzen sowie Überlegungen zur Ausgestaltung (MPI Studies in Tax Law and Public Finance #7)
by Christine Osterloh-Konrad Caroline Heber Tobias BeuchertDas Buch befasst sich mit den verfassungs- und europarechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen einer Anzeigepflicht für Steuergestaltungen sowie mit ihrer möglichen Ausgestaltung in Deutschland, wobei auch auf Erfahrungen anderer Länder zurückgegriffen wird. Die Anzeigepflicht soll dazu dienen, Gesetzgeber und Verwaltung frühzeitig über Steuervermeidungsstrategien zu informieren, um ihnen eine zeitnahe Reaktion zu ermöglichen (rechtspolitische Zielsetzung). Ein Fokus der europarechtlichen Analyse liegt auf der Bewertung einer Anzeigepflicht für internationale Steuergestaltungen. Im Verfassungsrecht steht neben Bestimmtheits- und Rückwirkungsverbot die Berufsfreiheit der Betroffenen im Vordergrund. Die rechtspolitische Zielsetzung legt einen Zuschnitt der Anzeigepflicht auf modellhafte Gestaltungen nahe; eine Erweiterung auf innovative Gestaltungen erscheint denkbar. Das Buch schließt mit kritischen rechtspolitischen Überlegungen zur Anzeigepflicht im Rahmen eines fairen Steuersystems.

Apartheid, 1948-1994 (Oxford Histories)
by Saul DubowThis new study offers a fresh interpretation of apartheid South Africa. Emerging out of the author's long-standing interests in the history of racial segregation, and drawing on a great deal of new scholarship, archival collections, and personal memoirs, he situates apartheid in global as well as local contexts. The overall conception of Apartheid, 1948-1994 is to integrate studies of resistance with the analysis of power, paying attention to the importance of ideas, institutions, and culture. Saul Dubow refamiliarises and defamiliarise apartheid so as to approach South Africa's white supremacist past from unlikely perspectives. He asks not only why apartheid was defeated, but how it survived so long. He neither presumes the rise of apartheid nor its demise. This synoptic reinterpretation is designed to introduce students to apartheid and to generate new questions for experts in the field.

APM Best Practices: Realizing Application Performance Management
by Michael J. Sydor Karen Sleeth Jon Toigo Ed Yourdon Scott E. Donaldson Stanley G. Siegel Gary DonaldsonThe objective of APM Best Practices: Realizing Application Performance Management is to establish reliable application performance management (APM) practices—to demonstrate value, to do it quickly, and to adapt to the client circumstances. It's important to balance long-term goals with short-term deliverables, but without compromising usefulness or correctness. The successful strategy is to establish a few reasonable goals, achieve them quickly, and then iterate over the same topics two more times, with each successive iteration expanding the skills and capabilities of the APM team. This strategy is referred to as “Good, Better, Best”. The application performance monitoring marketplace is very focused on ease of installation, rapid time to usefulness, and overall ease of use. But these worthy platitudes do not really address the application performance management processes that ensure that you will deploy effectively, synergize on quality assurance test plans, triage accurately, and encourage collaboration across the application life cycle that ultimately lowers overall application cost and ensures a quality user experience. These are also fine platitudes but these are the ones that are of interest to your application sponsors. These are the ones for which you need to show value. This CA Press book employs this iterative approach, adapted pragmatically for the realities of your organizational and operational constraints, to realize a future state that your sponsors will find useful, predictable and manageable—and something that they will want to fund. In the meantime, you will learn the useful techniques needed to set up and maintain a useful performance management system utilizing best practices regardless of the software provider(s).

APM Introduction to Programme Management (2nd edition)
by APM Programme Management Specific Interest Group“This update to APM Introduction to Programme Management brings new insights as to what programme management is all about. It is an ‘easy read’ for the top executives, for those relatively new to programme management who have a thirst for knowledge and for the project management community who should, and need to, understand how their project management skills play into the ‘bigger picture’.” Sir John Armitt More than a decade after its release, this substantial refresh of APM Introduction to Programme Management brings practitioners up-to-date with the latest developments in the discipline. As well as the fundamental principles – what a programme is, how it works and how to review progress - the guide also explores the changing environment in which programmes exist, their relationship to the strategic context of organisations as well as ‘new’ frameworks and ways of working. APM Introduction to Programme Management 2nd edition is one of APM’s core introductory texts. Written by experienced practitioners from APM’s Programme Management Specific Interest Group (SIG), it is recommended reading for anyone joining a programme team – or those who want to know how to interact with the programme. Readers of this publication may also be interested in Directing Agile Change. Book Review: “A COMPREHENSIVE INTRODUCTION” This is the second edition of APM Introduction to Programme Management, first published nearly a decade ago. It is an easy read for executives, those relatively new to programme management, and those in the community who should and need to know how project management skills are one aspect of the bigger picture. The book is concise, arranged over three sections and totalling 55 pages. It demonstrates links to other APM Book of Knowledge chapters, and there is a full glossary of terms. The book does not focus on the ‘technical’ aspects of programmes, nor is it aimed at one specific industry. Rather, it iterates that programme management is not simply another level of project management, and explores the organisational and strategic contexts in which programmes exist. Complex discussions are supported by clear and easy-to-understand illustrations. Although the book is based on the before, during and after stages of a programme life cycle, the topics discussed in the three sections are not easily linked to the life cycle. For example, information and benefits management is not discussed until the final pages of the book, whereas, in reality, these are key considerations in the formation of a programme. This is a comprehensive introduction and offers helpful references for those keen to explore particular subject areas. APM Introduction to Programme Management does exactly what the title suggests.

APM Salary and Market Trends Survey 2021
by Association for Project ManagementOur Salary and Market Trends Survey took place in November 2020 against a backdrop that few could have predicted 12 months before. Working with YouGov, the survey captured not only the facts and figures shaping the project profession, but also created a snapshot of a profession dealing with the impact of a global pandemic. We are able to better understand how the longer-term trends of a younger, more diverse profession were combining with the short-term shock brought about by coronavirus. The result is a useful picture of a profession holding steady in the face of some serious adversity. For most the impact has not been as bad as some may have feared and that the profession as a whole remains optimistic about its ability to navigate a difficult time. While expectations for growth may have been tempered, a strong sense of resilience and steadfastness shines through the 2,626 responses. Please note, whole numbers are used for the report, so some figures may not add up to 100 per cent due to rounding. The median has been used as the average for salaries, unless stated.
The Apology Impulse: How the Business World Ruined Sorry and Why We Can’t Stop Saying It
by Cary Cooper Sean O'MearaSaying sorry is in crisis. On one hand there are anxious PR aficionados and social media teams dishing out apologies with alarming frequency. On the other there are people and organizations who have done truly terrible things issuing much-delayed statements of mild regret. We have become addicted to apologies but immune from saying sorry. In January 2018 there were 35 public apologies from high-profile organizations and individuals. That's more than one per day. Between them, in 2017, the likes of Facebook, Mercedes Benz and United Airlines issued over 2,000 words of apologies for their transgressions. Alarmingly, the word 'sorry' didn't appear once. This perfectly timed book examines the psychology, motivations and even the economic rationale of giving an apology in the age of outrage culture and on-demand contrition. It reveals the tricks and techniques we all use to evade, reframe and divert from what we did and demonstrates how professionals do it best. Providing lessons for businesses and organizations, you'll find out how to give meaningful apologies and know when to say sorry, or not say it at all. The Apology Impulse is the perfect playbook for anyone - from social media executive through to online influencers and CEOs - who apologise way too much and say sorry far too infrequently.
