| hersha management: Dhandha Shobha Bondre, 2013-05-22 Dhandha, meaning business, is a term often used in common trade parlance in India. But there is no other community that fully embodies what the term stands for than the Gujaratis. Shobha Bondre’s Dhandha is the story of a few such Gujaratis: Jaydev Patel—the New York Life Insurance agent credited with having sold policies worth $2.5 billion so far; Bhimjibhai Patel—one of the country’s biggest diamond merchants and co-founder of the ambitious ‘Diamond Nagar’ in Surat; Dalpatbhai Patel—the motelier who went on to become the mayor of Mansfield County; Mohanbhai Patel—a former Sheriff of Mumbai and the leading manufacturer of aluminium collapsible tubes; and Hersha and Hasu Shah—owners of over a hundred hotels in the US. Travelling across continents—from Mumbai to the United States—in search of their story and the common values that bond them, Dhandha showcases the powerful ambition, incredible capacity for hard work, and the inherent business sense of the Gujaratis. |

| hersha management: Great American Hoteliers Stanley Turkel, 2009-09-16 During the thirty years prior to the Civil War, Americans built hotels larger and more ostentatious than any in the rest of the world. These hotels were inextricably intertwined with American culture and customs but were accessible to average citizens. As Jefferson Williamson wrote in The American Hotel ( Knopf 1930), hotels were perhaps the most distinctively American of all our institutions for they were nourished and brought to flower solely in American soil and borrowed practically nothing from abroad. Development of hotels was stimulated by the confluence of travel, tourism and transportation. In 1869, the transcontinental railroad engendered hotels by Henry Flagler, Fred Harvey, George Pullman and Henry Plant. The Lincoln Highway and the Interstate Highway System triggered hotel development by Carl Fisher, Ellsworth Statler, Kemmons Wilson and Howard Johnson. The airplane stimulated Juan Trippe, John Bowman, Conrad Hilton, Ernest Henderson, A.M. Sonnabend and John Hammons.. My research into the lives of these great hoteliers reveals that none of them grew up in the hospitality business but became successful through their intense on-the- job experiences. My investigation has uncovered remarkable and startling true stories about these pioneers, some of whom are well-known and others who are lost in the dustbin of history. |

| hersha management: Managing Urban River Ecosystems for Achieving Regional Sustainability in the Pearl River Delta Region Hui Liu, 2024-12-13 This book provides a systematic understanding of urban river management from the perspective of ecosystem health in the Pearl River Delta region of China, where rapid socio-economic development happens together with exploitation and pollution of the natural environment. Urban rivers, which used to support navigation and provide water resources to humans, now suffer from various kinds of ecosystem degradation and thus create threats to regional sustainability. This book treats the urban river as an ecosystem which closely relates to and interacts with humans and defines urban river ecosystem health as a requirement at three levels: sensorial fitness, living water, and affinity with humans, which emphasizes more on the human-oriented needs. The evolution processes of urban river ecosystem health protection can generally be divided into four phases, demonstrating the relationships between human activities and UREH status as simple balance, uncontrolled imbalance, continuous interlocking, and stable harmony. The relationships between typical urban rivers and humans in the Pearl River Delta region, China, are then analyzed on both regional and local scales and from lateral, time-longitudinal, and spatial dimensions. Intensive human activities, together with the intrinsic complex and high-density river network, result in deteriorating water quality, changing hydrological conditions, and damaging the river ecosystem in this region. From the perspective of political ecology, various actors in urban river management include governmental agencies, business, multilateral institutions, ENGOs, and grassroots actors, whose unequal power relations vary over time and space, causing conflicts as well as coordination. Especially, different governmental agencies are engaged, resulting into overlap and gap among their functions as well as spatial discrepancy. River Chief System, as a new practice of urban river management, has strengthened the collaboration effect and got success in river pollution control. The spatial scale effect of human activities on urban river water quality is examined, implying the necessity of adopting a unified management strategy at the buffer zone scale to protect and restore urban river ecosystem health. The target audience of this book includes postgraduate students and researchers who have research interests in, as well as government officers, whose routine is related to water management. |

| hersha management: Earnings Management, Fintech-Driven Incentives and Sustainable Growth Michael I. C. Nwogugu, 2019-11-01 Traditional research about Financial Stability and Sustainable Growth typically omits Earnings Management (as a broad class of misconduct), Complex Systems Theory, Mechanism Design Theory, Public Health, psychology issues, and the externalities and psychological effects of Fintech. Inequality, Environmental Pollution, Earnings Management opportunities, the varieties of complex Financial Instruments, Fintech, Regulatory Fragmentation, Regulatory Capture and real-financial sector-linkages are growing around the world, and these factors can have symbiotic relationships. Within Complex System theory framework, this book analyzes these foregoing issues, and introduces new behaviour theories, Enforcement Dichotomies, and critiques of models, regulations and theories in several dimensions. The issues analyzed can affect markets, and evolutions of systems, decision-making, nternal Markets and risk-perception within government regulators, operating companies and investment entities, and thus they have Public Policy implications. The legal analysis uses applicable US case-law and statutes (which have been copied by many countries, and are similar to those of many common-law countries). Using Qualitative Reasoning, Capital Dynamics Theory (a new approach introduced in this book), Critical Theory and elements of Mechanism Design Theory, the book aims to enhance cross-disciplinary analysis of the above-mentioned issues; and to help researchers build better systems/Artificial-Intelligence/mathematical models in Financial Stability, Portfolio Management, Policy-Analysis, Asset Pricing, Contract Theory, Enforcement Theory and Fraud Detection. The primary audience for this book consists of university Professors, PHD students and PHD degree-holders (in industries, government agencies, financial services companies and research institutes). The book can be used as a primary or supplementary textbook for graduate courses in Regulation; Capital Markets; Law & Economics, International Political Economy and or Mechanism Design (Applied Math, Operations Research, Computer Science or Finance). |
