Review The WetFeet Insider Guide to Careers in Asset Management and Retail Brokerage / Wetfeet:If money makes the world go 'round, the Earth would grind to a screeching halt without the asset management industry. Asset management is the business of making money with money—or at least trying to. Asset managers manage large pools of investments, which conform to specific sets of guidelines in order to achieve certain financial objectives. The investments could be held in a mutual fund or hedge fund, or might be in a portfolio managed by an investment counseling firm, a bank trust department, or an insurance company. Anyone considering a career in asset management should be keenly aware that markets not only go up, but also go down—sometimes way down. The "retail" brokerage industry, which deals with individuals (as opposed to "institutional" which deals with companies and other large clients), is weaning itself from its traditional reliance on trade-based commissions by offering more and more fee-based services, which provide a more regular revenue stream in a volatile market. The fee structure also helps insulate firms from appearances of conflicts of interest as the fee is usually a percentage of assets under management, which means that it's in everyone's interest to see those assets grow. Find out more about the wonderful world of asset management and retail brokerage by reading this guide! Learn about: Who the major players are and how they're doing What the typical jobs entail and what you need to know to snag one What the lifestyle is like, and what kind of money is involved What the pros and cons of getting into this industry are What questions to ask during your interviews More!

Review An Occupational Information System for the 21st Century: The Development of O Net / American Psychological Association (APA):Since its inception during the Great Depression the Dictionary of Occupational Titles has been relied on for the description of jobs and workforce development. However, as global competition and technological change has created a new world of work, the Department of Labor realized that a more flexible and precise system for chronicling work-related information was needed. Thus, the O*NET, or the occupational information network, was launched. Written by the developers of the O*NET system, this edited volume describes the research and methodology used in the design and development of this ground-breaking system. The O*NET is intended to provide a framework for describing jobs in terms that are capable of addressing the needs of workers and employers into the 21st Century. Instead of relying on rigid task descriptions, the O*NET uses domains of worker and occupation characteristics-such as abilities, work styles, generalized work activities and work context-to describe each job. This volume details each of the main domains used by the O*NET. It outlines how each was quantified and provides statistical analyses about its applications, internal relationships, and structure. The volume also places the O*NET system in its historical research context and describes how this innovative new system can support the creation of jobs tailored for the new economy. This volume will be invaluable for those needing to familiarize themselves with this powerful new human resource tool. [+]It will be of particular interest to industrial/organizational psychologists, human factors specialists, counseling psychologists, vocational counselors, rehabilitation counselors, industrial engineers, occupational professionals, and labor market analysts.

Review Working Hours and Job Sharing in the EU and USA: Are Europeans Lazy? Or Americans Crazy? / Oxford University Press, USA:In the last 50 years the gap in labour productivity between Europe and the US has narrowed considerably with estimates in 2005 suggesting a EU-US labour productivity gap of about 5 per cent. Yet, average per capita income in the EU is still about 30% lower than in the US. This persistent gap in income per capita can be almost entirely explained by Europeans working less than Americans. Why do Europeans work so little compared to Americans? What do they do with their spare time outside work? Can they be induced to work more without reducing labour productivity? If so, how? And what is the effect on well-being if policies are created to reward paid work as opposed to other potentially socially valuable activities, like childbearing? More broadly, should the state interfere at all when it comes to bargaining over working hours? This volume explores these questions and many more in an attempt to understand the changing nature of the hours worked in the USA and EU, as well as the effects of policies that impose working hour reductions.

Review Managing Compensation (and Understanding It Too): A Handbook for the Perplexed / Quorum Books:This text is a lively, well-written, and carefully illustrated guide to the mysteries and mystique of how people are compensated for their efforts in all types of organizations. With clear discussions of what works, what doesn't, and why, this intensely practical handbook it covers such topics as job evaluation; job pricing; employee benefit programs; pay for performance; and the compensation of executives, sales personnel, and international employees. Executives and managers with no special training in pay determination and management will find it an easily accessible handbook that not only makes clear how compensation systems are conceived and developed but most importantly, how they are implemented and administrated. Its logical presentation and full coverage makes the book valuable as a text for upper-level college students as well as a solid instructional resource for teachers. The authors open with an overview of compensation and its role in organizations and then move to the legal environment in which compensation is embedded and the laws that govern it. They describe current and traditional views of motivation and elucidate the importance of job analysis and its end products-job description and job specification. The role of compensation surveys and their use in assigning monetary rates to jobs are discussed. A topic of special interest to executives in New Economy organizations will be the purpose and importance of benefits, particularly indirect monetary compensation, stock options, and other pay for performance incentives. Caruth and Handlogten address the challange of compensating teams and pay special attention to the, often unique, problem of compensating uppermost management, sales people, and employees abroad. The text concludes with practical suggestions for the on-going maintenance and management of compensation systems and how to adapt them to changing organizational circumstances.
