The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World

Apress; 2nd edition | January 26, 2006
ISBN-10: 1590596242 | 296 pages

PDF | 50.8 Mb

Missed deadlines, death marches, unstable releases, continual overtime, and skyrocketing stress levels are legendary in the software development industry. Unlike traditional occupations such as accounting or administration, the software business is populated by programmers who are as creative and passionate about their work as musicians or artists.

For most, it is a complete surprise when they enter the business world and find that internal politics, inept management, and unrealistic marketing drive the process, rather than a structured and orderly approach based on technical issues and quality. The average programmer, having the least authority in the management chain of command, feels powerless to change these things, but suffers the consequences.

"The Career Programmer" steps through the entire sequence of events, from the decision to create a new software system to the end of the project, and explains how the individual programmer or project manager can work within the existing system to solve specific problems and regain control of the process.

Avoiding an academic approach, care is taken to offer proven, practical, hands-on solutions that are designed to work when confronted with the political and chaotic realities of the business environment. Issues are addressed from both the programmer and project manager point of view, and steps are shown from all perspectives, from large-scale teams down to single developer projects.

Management will never simply hand over the reins and allow a completely new and unfamiliar approach to be instituted. Realizing this, the reader is shown how to build on small, incremental successes that not only solve the problems at hand, but also work towards a gradual reworking of the development process by showing management a stream of results to which they can relate. For the individual programmer or project manager, the end result is less overtime, less stress, better quality software, and a more satisfying career.

Life Insurance Risk Management Essentials (EAA Series)

By Michael Koller
Publisher: Springer | 2011

ISBN: 3642207200 | PDF
378 pages | 10.2 MB

The aim of the book is to provide an overview of risk management in life insurance companies. The focus is twofold: (1) to provide a broad view of the different topics needed for risk management and (2) to provide the necessary tools and techniques to concretely apply them in practice. Much emphasis has been put into the presentation of the book so that it presents the theory in a simple but sound manner. The first chapters deal with valuation concepts which are defined and analysed, the emphasis is on understanding the risks in corresponding assets and liabilities such as bonds, shares and also insurance liabilities. In the following chapters risk appetite and key insurance processes and their risks are presented and analysed. This more general treatment is followed by chapters describing asset risks, insurance risks and operational risks - the application of models and reporting of the corresponding risks is central. Next, the risks of insurance companies and of special insurance products are looked at. The aim is to show the intrinsic risks in some particular products and the way they can be analysed. The book finishes with emerging risks and risk management from a regulatory point of view, the standard model of Solvency II and the Swiss Solvency Test are analysed and explained. The book has several mathematical appendices which deal with the basic mathematical tools, e.g. probability theory, stochastic processes, Markov chains and a stochastic life insurance model based on Markov chains. Moreover, the appendices look at the mathematical formulation of abstract valuation concepts such as replicating portfolios, state space deflators, arbitrage free pricing and the valuation of unit linked products with guarantees. The various concepts in the book are supported by tables and figures.

Description:
How Today's Shoppers Really Think, Behave, and Buy: Breakthrough Insights for Creating High-Profit Retail Experiences! "Inside the Mind of the Shopper is the preeminent handbook for any marketer or retailer seeking to understand why people do what they do when they shop.

Armed with the knowledge in this book, marketers and retailers can work together to predict how shoppers will respond (or not!) to package and label design, selling messages, shelf plans, and the entire retail space." --Matt Ohligschlager, Senior Manager, Consumer and Market Knowledge, Procter & Gamble "From his 40 years of observing shoppers, Herb Sorensen has given us the gift of understanding shoppers. Now, we clearly see that the store layouts merchants want are not what shoppers want. On the ground, managers THINK they know their shoppers, but anyone who follows Herb's handbook on shopper insights will know them a lot better." --Joel Rubinson, Chief Research Officer, The Advertising Research Foundation Today, improving the effectiveness of the retail experience is no longer an option: It's a matter of survival--and nobody knows more about doing that than Herb Sorensen. That's because Sorensen understands your customer's in-store behavior better than anyone else on earth. Now, drawing on microscopic analysis of millions of shopping trips, Sorensen reveals exactly what your customers are thinking, why they behave as they do, and how to reshape stores to deliver truly remarkable results. You'll discover how to drive more profit from the "quick trip"...the three "moments of truth" in every shopping event...customer "migration patterns" within the store...and how to use "active retailing" to place products precisely where they'll do best.
