Why this should be-how Beida's historical importance has come to transcend that of a mere institution of higher learning--is a question at the heart of this book. A study of intellectuals and political culture during the past century's tumultuous early decades, The Power of Position is the first to focus on Beida, China's oldest and best-known national university. Timothy B. Weston portrays the university as a key locus used by intellectuals to increase their influence in society. Weston analyzes the links between intellectuals' political and cultural commitments and their specific manner of living. He also compares Beijing's intellectual culture with that of the rising metropolis of Shanghai. What emerges is a remarkably nuanced and complex picture of life at China's leading university, especially in the decades leading up to the May Fourth Movement.Berkeley series in interdisciplinary studies of China ;3.Higher education and stateChinaHistoryPolitical cultureChinaHistoryElectronic books.Higher education and stateHistory.Political cultureHistory.379.51Weston Timothy B.1964-931273MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450284603321The power of position2458396UNINA04006nam 2200781 a 450 991053880290332120130307090920.01-60649-398-110.4128/9781606493984(CKB)3580000000000312(EBL)1048411(SSID)ssj0000970156(PQKBManifestationID)11619527(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000970156(PQKBWorkID)11020276(PQKB)10792536(OCoLC)829304752(CaBNVSL)swl00402163(MiAaPQ)EBC1048411(Au-PeEL)EBL1048411(CaPaEBR)ebr10661534(OCoLC)854969217(EXLCZ)99358000000000031220130220d2013 fy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLaunching a business[electronic resource] the first 100 days /Bruce Barringer1st ed.[New York, N.Y.] (222 East 46th Street, New York, NY 10017) Business Expert Press20131 online resource (256 p.)Entrepreneurship and small business management collection,1946-5661Part of: 2013 digital library.1-60649-397-3 Introduction -- Section 1.

Postlaunch days 31-100 -- Creating a sales process and your first sale -- Marketing -- Operations -- Managing a business's money -- Hiring your first employee -- Day-to-day challenges of operating a business -- Index.This is a hands-on book that focuses on the tasks that a new business owner must complete in the first 100 days of launching a business. Think of it this way. Imagine you've conceived a business idea, written a business plan, raised seed capital, and are set to launch your business on October 1. Now, what would you actually do on October 1, October 2, October 3, and so forth? How would you set your priorities? How would you know which tasks are the most urgent? Although the answers to these questions vary depending on the business, there are a set of key activities that all businesses must accomplish to get their businesses off to a good (and legally proper) start. Examples include securing the proper business licenses and permits, setting up a bookkeeping system, negotiating a lease, buying insurance, entering into contracts with vendors, recruiting and hiring employees, making the first sale, and so on. Broader issues such as developing a business model and building a brand will be touched upon. But the primary focus of the book will be on the practical issues that a business owner needs to accomplish, and needs to accomplish correctly, to get a business off to a good start.2013 digital library.Entrepreneurship and small business management collection.1946-5661New business enterprisesManagementElectronic books.entrepreneurshipsmall businessstart-uplaunchnew businessbusiness planseed capitalmarketingfinancial managementintellectual propertyhiring employeeshuman resourcessalesoperationsbusiness licensesbookkeepingNew business enterprisesManagement.658.11Barringer Bruce R895156MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910538802903321Launching a business2635705UNINA
