TALES told of real-life companies that boosted morale and improved results by implementing these same principles.

In this new, stimulating volume, the authors teach us how to effect change in our business and make it stick through tough and changing times such as turnover in management and staff. With the appealing, readable style which makes the FISH philosophy so accessible, FISH! STICKS shows us how to keep our work vital, alive and fresh, while maintaining those innovations that really work for your company.

Ifølge årsregnskabsloven har stort set alle erhvervsdrivende virksomheder pligt til at aflægge en årsrapport bestående af flere dele, hvoraf den vigtigste er selve regnskabet. Aflæggelsen af årsrapporten er reguleret af et omfattende sæt af love og standarder, der i udstrakt grad er indarbejdet i årsregnskabsloven. Loven omfatter stort set alle virksomheders regnskabsaflæggelse, og for at signalere at virksomhedens årlige rapportering omfatter andet end årsregnskabet, og at alle bestanddelene (årsregnskab, koncernregnskab, ledelsens beretning samt ledelsens påtegning) hænger sammen, kaldes rapporteringen virksomhedens årsrapport.Denne bog omhandler virksomhedens årsregnskab - den teoretisk mest interessante del af årsrapporten. Årsregnskabet er en informationskilde, som giver virksomhedens eksterne interessenter information om virksomhedens økonomiske stilling og om virksomhedens økonomiske resultater. Det er virksomheden, der aflægger regnskabet, mens andre anvender informationen. Dermed er regnskabet bindeled mellem virksomhed og omverden. Formålet med denne bog er at give en forståelse for sammenhængen mellem regnskabsaflæggeren og de incitamenter, der styrer regnskabsaflæggelsen, regnskabet og brugeren af regnskabet. I bogen behandles regnskabssystemet og lovgivningen. Dels beskrives det overordnede system, og dels beskrives og diskuteres centrale elementer i regnskabet og regnskabsaflæggelse. Blandt de konkrete emner, som behandles, kan nævnes den regnskabsmæssige opgørelse af resultatet, aktivernes værdimåling, lagerværdimålinger, skatter i årsregnskabet, koncernregnskaber, valutaomregning m.v. Hovedvægten er lagt på forståelse af de overordnede principper, der styrer regnskabsaflæggelsen og samspillet mellem regnskabsaflægger, regnskabsbruger og den uafhængige revisor, der attesterer regnskabet. Det pointeres, at det er nødvendigt at forstå virksomhedens økonomi for at kunne tegne et dækkende billede i regnskabet.Bogen indgår i lærebogsserien Virksomhedsøkonomi, der giver en samlende fremstilling af de virksomhedsøkonomiske fagområder. Serien bygger på et fundament, der teoretisk er så solidt, at det kan være udgangspunkt for videregående studier og specialisering i enkelte fagområder. Således vil seriens bøger kunne anvendes enkeltvis eller samlet til den indledende undervisning i virksomhedsøkonomi ved universiteter og handelshøjskoler. Fælles for seriens bøger er en læsevenlig og overskuelig opbygning med praktiske eksempler til illustration af anvendelsen af teoretiske modeller.

The 'o-FISH!-al' follow-up to the phenomenal bestselling Fish! and Fish! Tales, Fish! Sticks is a stand-alone business parable that shows you how to come up with a vision for your business and how to keep it alive, vital, and renewed through tough times, such as turnover in management and staff or a troubled economy. Using the example of a hugely successful, fictional sushi restaurant as a model for a vision of continual renewal, Fish! Sticks employs the same kind of easy-to-read story that was used in Fish! to illustrate its three major principals of continued success: Commit, Be It, and Coach It. When Stephanie, a new manager, takes over from a wildly popular and now promoted boss, she is faced with the problem of how to keep spirits up in a corporate unit that has, frankly, started to get bored and cranky and revert to its old ways. But then she visits the amazing Taka Sushi (formerly Taka Teriyaki), with its lines of customers cheerfully waiting for hours to get in. Soon, she realizes that the way to keep her employees motivated and her customers delighted can be learned from a bunch of waiters who teach one another everything they need to know. And when she finds out just how the owner of Taka knew to switch her main bill of fare from teriyaki to sushi long before anyone else, what she really discovers is the secret of keeping your work fresh.
