Переводчик: Анатолий Кантор "Единственный писатель своего времени, который пишет совершено по-новому, не порывая при этом связи с классической традицией", - так писал ожйлм Илья Эренбург о выдающемся австрийском прозаике, признанном классике мировой литературы ХХ века Йозефе Роте Его "Марш Радецкого", "Склеп капуцинов", "Иов" хорошо известны в России, но знакомство русских читателей с творчеством Рота остается далеко не полным, и первая публикация произведения писателя на русском языке - событие огромной важности Роман "Направо и налево" (1929), одна из вершин творчества Рота, до сих пор не переводился на русский язык Действие романа развертывается в Германии после Первой мировой войны и России после Октябрьской революции В центре повествования - Пауль Бернгейм, сын банкира, человек одаренный, но слабохарактерный и нерешительный Ему противопоставлен эмигрант из России Николай Брандейс, практичный делец, натура сильная и в то же время романтическая Оба героя, казалось бы столь различные, пережив взлеты в карьере, в любви, оказываются во власти иллюзий, которые рушатся одна за другой Трагический роман огромной силы теперь пришел к русским читателям Автор Йозеф Рот Joseph Roth.

Book DescriptionThis book was written to bring together a summary of the current knowledge on merit pay and to further advance understanding of this type of incentive pay plan When the writing of the first edition was begun in 1989, there were no books devoted exclusively to the subject of merit pay Thus, this book was written to fill a void in the compensation ожйлп literature Since then, surveys have shown that merit pay remains a frequently used method of incentive compensation, and research into the merit pay process continues to grow However, other forms of incentive pay, such as gainsharing, continue to receive the most attention, as evidenced by the number of books and articles on this topic in the popular press In response to the frequent use of merit pay in organizations and the growing body of research, a book-length treatment of merit pay was needed What we hope to do with this second edition, beyond updating, is to link merit pay with the many changes going on in total compensation or "rewardmanagement" (R Heneman, 2001a, 2002) We also will argue that, even among all the challenges and changes that organizations currently face, there is still "merit" in appropriately conceived and implemented merit pay plans (Bates, 2003c). 2003 г ISBN 1931576467.

Why have Americans, who by a clear majority approve of unions, stopped joining them in greater numbers than ever before? This book answers that question by comparing the American experience with that of Canada, where approval for unions is significantly lower than in the United States, but where since the mid-1960s, workers have joined organized ожйлы labor to a much greater extent Given that the two countries are outwardly so similar, what explains this paradox? This book provides a detailed comparative analysis of both countries using, among other things, a unique survey conducted in the United States and Canada by the Ipsos Reid polling group The authors discover that the reluctance of employees in the United States to join unions, compared with thosein Canada, is rooted less in their attitudes toward unions, and more in the former country's deep-seated tradition of individualism and laissez-faire economic values " Canada has a more statist, social democratic tradition, which is in turn attributable to its Tory and European conservative lineage Canadian values are therefore more supportive of unionism, making unions more powerful in the northern country and paradoxically lowering public approval of unions This is less true in the United States, where unions exert less of an influence over politics and the economy.
