Product Description
This book is designed for human resources managers and directors of personnel who are concerned with labor productivity.It gives benchmarks and gap analyses used to gauge a company's performance vis--vis firms competing firms in the same sector, at the global level.In particular, this report covers GART SPORTS COMPANY, DENVER, USA.

With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's performance against other firms on a worldwide basis.Doing so, however, is not an obvious task.First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector.Second, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility.Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards.This report overcomes these issues and gives full human resources benchmarks vis--vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover labor-asset ratios, labor-liability ratios, and labor-income ratios.Since our reports are printed on demand, the figures available are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 updates are produced each year). ...

Product Description
Are the combined human resources at CITY SPORTS & RECREATION PUBLIC CO. LTD. productive?There is no absolute answer to this question. This report considers the extent to which the company's labor deployment indicators differ from global benchmarks.In this report we consider forecasts of differences between labor ratios and the resulting return on this human investment compared to global benchmarks; the estimation of such differences is commonly called a "gap analysis."What is the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee?What are typical capital-labor ratios?How different are these ratios to companies serving the same link in the value chain? What are the average sales and net profits per employee compared to global benchmarks?These and over 50 other indicators of labor productivity are considered in this report.The report does so by going beyond traditional analyses by considering companies competing in the same or similar industrial classification at a global level.The goal of this report, therefore, is to assist consultants, human resource managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging estimates of a company's human resource indicators compared to firms competing or participating in the same economic sector, at the global level.This report is not about whether a particular company or industry has performed well or poorly in the past or will do so in the future.With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's human resource indicators against other firms on a worldwide basis.Doing so, however, is not an obvious task.First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector, but not necessarily competing directly with the company in local markets.These firms should not be perceived, therefore, to be direct competitors to the company in question, but simply those that have been classified by various sources (e.g. EDGAR or similar foreign filings), as competing to serve customers in the same link of the value chain, or broad industrial classification, as identified by SIC, NAICS or similar codes. Second, given the international nature of the task, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility.Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards.This report overcomes these issues and gives full human resources benchmarks vis-a-vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover labor-asset ratios, labor-liability ratios, and labor-income ratios.Since our reports are printed on demand, the statistics reported are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 updates are produced each year).

Product Description
All the fun of active sports -- without the hurt of losing

The idea behind this book is simple: people should play together, not against each other. To show you how enjoyable (and challenging) that,can be, Terry Orlick has created and collected over one hundred brand-new games based on cooperation, not competition, with the perfect one for every occasion.

Who can play?

People of every size, shape, age, and ability, from preschoolers to senior citizens.

Where can you play?

In the gym, on the beach, in the swimming pool, around the playground, in the classroom, in your backyard, or even in your own living room.

What do you need?

Nothing fancier than a ball, a mat, or a net -- and an active imagination.

What kinds of games are there?

-- Completely original ones like Sticky Popcorn, Bump and Scoot, Double Bubble, Big Snake, Fish Gobbler, and Collective Beach-blanketball.

-- Familiar ones like Musical Chairs and even football and hockey recycled into fun-for-all adventures.

-- Games from the Arctic, New Guinea, and the People's Republic of China.

-- Plus ideas for making up a whole new set of games on your own.

Games nobody loses means no more disappointed players sitting on a bench or out in the first round of play -- because taking the competition out leaves more room for fun for everybody! ... Read more

Wonderful book must have for people with younger children
I have bought this book several times since I keep giving it to other teachers. The kids love the activities, the games are cooperative and are great way to build fun and trust in a classroom or gym

liked Orlick's second book better but this is still good
This is the first book this author wrote on the subject. At 130 pages it is half the size and content of his second book "The Second Cooperative Sports and Games book". The author discusses the benefits of cooperative game playing, including citing scientific studies to support playing them. Cooperative games foster acceptance, involvement, and fun. These topics are barely touched upon compared to what he writes about in his second book.

Chapters include games for preschoolers, 3-7, 8-12, and adults. These age ranges are not as thorough as in his second book. A helpful chapter on remaking adult games for children and another on how to create your own games and how to evaluate your success. Games from other cultures cover only nine pages, unlike his second book, which is far more extensive on this subject.

I recommend that you read his second book first for a more thorough discussion of the pro's of playing cooperative games, the con's of competitive games, and more games for more age ranges and for handicapped players and senior citizens. If you have read the second book and want more ideas for games from this author, then read this book.

Excellent creative ideas for the flexible group.
Terry Orlick has put together a wonderful group of games, activities and ideas.For each group of children there are solutions to be found here.No winners, no losers.Just fun and smiles to help youngsters feel at easeand make friends.The activities outlined in these play sessions can bereadily adapted to many situations to assist children with controlingthemselves, socializing without putdowns, and reaching out to others withwarmth and humor. ...
