Women Don't Ask by Linda Babcock; Sara Laschever
ISBN: 9780691212845
Publication Date: 2021-01-05
The groundbreaking classic that explores how women can and should negotiate for parity in their workplaces, homes, and beyond When Linda Babcock wanted to know why male graduate students were teaching their own courses while female students were always assigned as assistants, her dean said: "More men ask. The women just don't ask." Drawing on psychology, sociology, economics, and organizational behavior as well as dozens of interviews with men and women in different fields and at all stages in their careers.
Analysing Financial Performance by Nic La Rosa
ISBN: 9781003092575
Publication Date: 2020-12-28
Despite a plethora of techniques to analyse the financial performance of a business, there has been no single methodology that has been overwhelmingly preferred by users. This could be an indication that either the methods themselves are deficient or they are limited by other factors that are not easily overcome. Unlike the current offerings in the field, which focus on issues relating to business performance management or non-financial aspects (such as market efficiency, satisfaction and workforce productivity), this book offers a solution to a major gap in the literature and understanding for those seeking to measure, analyse and benchmark the financial performance of any organisation.

QUT Readings - digitisations of ebook chapters

If you request a digitization of a book chapter when it is available as an ebook then it will usually rejected on the assumption of user error.

However if you want a digitisation because the ebook only allows limited users or users will be offline - then please email readings@qut.edu.au to let them know that you know it's an ebook but still require the digitisation & why.

Please note - the HBR website (and others) sometimes only allow a user to access 3 articles per month.

All questions, please ask your business liaison librarians: lib.bus@qut.edu.au

Library Help with your study

How do I get my paper into eprints?

Your Pure profile is where you add content to ORCiD and QUT eprints.

Research outputs must be recorded in Pure in order to be included in RAD and appear in QUT ePrints and subsequently your QUT academic profile.

Each research output only needs to be entered into Pure once.
All of your QUT co-authors are notified of the new record in Pure.
Entering a record prompts a workflow through to QUT Library and Office of Research Services for approval and validation.
You may receive notifications/emails requesting more information or a copy of the accepted manuscript.
On approval equivalent records are populated into QUT ePrints, making that output easily accessible and discoverable on the web through major search engines.
Information is also added into RAD and, if you authorise it, your ORCID profile.

If you have questions - contact your liaison librarians: lib.bus@qut.edu.au
