Room 606: The Sas House and the Work of Arne Jacobsen 2 reviews

Room 606: The SAS House and the Work of Arne Jacobsen
The Dalai Lama was staying at the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel when I was in Copenhagen, a month ago, but happily Room 606 was unoccupied and I was able to see this one surviving fragment of Arne Jacobsen's gesamtkunstwerk. Denmark's leading architect designed this hotel-terminal in 1960 as the flagship of SAS, a major patron of progressive design, when air travel was still a civilized experience for ...

The story of Royal Copenhagen Christmas plates2 reviews
Pat Owen
Viking Import House, 1961
great for Royal Copenhagen plate collectors
I have always been fascinated by the beautiful blue and white Royal Copenhagen Christmas plates. This book not only tells you about the various plates, it also provides a short history of Denmark.
It also includes the legend of the Christmas plates, which I was unfamiliar with - apparently, there was a Christmas custom of wealthy folks giving their servants plates with all sorts of wonderful ...

Time Out Copenhagen5 reviews
Time Out Guides Ltd
Time Out Publishing, 2005
The Right One
An excellent guide. I was familiar with Copenhagen as a student 10 years ago and this book helped me right back into step. The general feel is spot-on and it's written for a more adventurous traveler than one just off the cruise ship. The book is irrepressibly positive, and perhaps overstates the charm and style of some sites - just like a guide book usually does. I thought the maps to be good, ...

Anti-competitive State Measures in the European Community (Essays in Business Law)1 review
Ulla Boegh Henriksen
Copenhagen Business School Press, 1994
Global Justice and Economics
The European Court of Justice has consistently held that Member States may not enact measures which hinder effectiveness of the EEC competition provisions. This represents a broad interpretation of the EEC Treaty's competition provisions, which explicitly apply only to the activities of undertakings.
This is one of the most interesting and important recent developments of the Court. However, ...

Marketing Communication Management3 reviews
Otto Ottesen
Copenhagen Business School Press, 2001
Cut through the marcomm fluff!
I've studied the original Norwegian edition and Ottesen's holistic view is an epiphany. If you're as frustrated as I was with the lack of stratetic orientation and vision in market communication literature this book is what you need to read. It's not a magic bullet, but the insightfulness of Mr. Ottesen will make you go back and reconsider your communication strategy, especially the way you ...

Birth of the Multinational: 2000 Years of Ancient Business History - from Ashur to Augustus3 reviews
David Lewis, Karl Moore
Copenhagen Business School Press, 1999
Excellent Economic History
Mr. Lewis and his co-author are not only great authors (their book is full of knowledge about an area of history that are often ignored in other economic history books), but Mr. Lewis happens to be a friend of mine (we go to the same church and he has given me great instruction on economic history). I am not a historian (but an amataur history student), and though the material was technical ...

History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 2 (Chronology)9 reviews
Anatoly Fomenko
Delamere Resources LLC, 2005
Prescient St Augustine?
We can so far divide the New Chronology into the following three parts:
a) The verifiable theory that proves consensual chronology wrong with the aid of astronomy, statistics and mathematics;
b) The new chronology hypothesis based on a new understanding of known historical facts and the most likely logical explanation of the most obvious inconsistencies inherent in the official version of ...

The Austrian School and Modern Economics1 review
Nicolai J. Foss
Copenhagen Business School Press, 1994
Fine Analysis of Austrian Contributions to Economics
This book is a fine analysis of Austrian contributions to economics and Austrian anticipations of many modern neo-classical ideas. It also examines constructively but critically the modern Austrian research program.

Cross-Cultural Business Behavior: Negotiating, Selling, Sourcing and Managing Across Cultures1 review
Richard R. Gesteland
Copenhagen Business School Press, 2005
A good manual for the international businessman
"Richard Gesteland's "Cross-Cultural Business Behavior " has already reached classic status and is now in its fourth edition. Rather than being a theoretical compendium of cross-cultural theories this book is a practical guide for businesspeople in the "front lines of international trade".
The first part of the book presents in a hundred odd pages the theoretical knowledge needed to ...

Eu Anti-Dumping Law: Pursuing and Defending Investigations1 review
Sebastian Farr
Copenhagen Business School Press, 1998
The Best Overview of EU Dumping Law
This is an excellent book for anyone coming to the European Community's Anti-Dumping Regulation for the first time. It is also a valuable handbook for lawyers and exporters in non-EU countries who find themselves confronted with an anti-dumping questionnaire from the European Commission and have no previous experience of dumping investigations. The book is immensely readable, easy to ...

Gold Nuggets Galore: How to Behave in Business--Sayings to Help You Succeed1 review
Per Haldbo
Copenhagen Business School Press, 2005
How to Succeed and Be Worthy of It
IBM used to distribute writing pads with adages and proverbs at the bottom, so perhaps it is not surprising that Per Haldbo, a longtime IBMer, bases his book on sayings which, not unlike military commands, offer an effective way to instruct others or guide oneself in business.
The author puts across the message that it pays to pay a lot of attention to how you behave in business, and the book, ...

Dealing with Confidence: The Construction of Need and Trust in Management Advisory Services1 review
Copenhagen Business School Press, 2005
EXPLORING THE ISSUES OF NEED AND TRUST IN THE CLIENT-CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP.
Based on research, the book presents contributions by experts (academicians and authors) on the challenges faced by those who purchase, and more indirectly, those who provide management consulting and other management advisory services (MAS). Of central concern is the degree of uncertainty faced by organizations in purchasing MAS, especially the more general type, management consulting. At the ...

Central Europe: Core or Periphery?1 review
Copenhagen Business School Press, 2001
Firmly at the Core
Just as the contributing essayists in this collection prove that the Central European countries are indeed central to Europe's future, editor Christopher Lord proves that this book should be regarded as essential to anyone interested in the topic. Very few books on Central Europe have managed to avoid being dragged into the mire of pre-1989 political disputes. This book focuses on developments ...

Changing Strategic Direction: Practical Insights Into Opportunity Driven Business Development1 review
Peter Skat-Rordam
Copenhagen Business School Press, 1999
An excellent guide and toolkit for opportunity development
I am always impressed by business books written by Scandinavian authors. This particular business book is one of the very few business titles I have come across so far. Although written from a strategic thinking perspective, it emphasises on the systematic pursuit of business opportunities as a way of generating company growth and establishing strategic direction. It also provides a very clear ...

What work!
Dr. Gieser has done more than recount, she has sensitively synthesized, created and advanced a beautiful platform for understanding the purpose of two different but similarly driven giants. A magnificent achievement!

Cultural Tourism & Tourism Cultures: The Business of Mediating Experiences in Copenhagen and Singapore1 review
Can-Seng Ooi
Copenhagen Business School Press, 2002
Tourism mediation
Tourists want to enjoy themselves, they have little local knowledge and their visits are relatively short, these are the starting premises of this book. Consequently, the author argues, tourists need and want help when they visit new places, so as to enhance their experiences. Thinking about myself as a tourist, I do need help from "cultural mediators" (the term used in the book), otherwise I ...

China Business ABC: The China Market Survival Kit1 review

Copenhagen Business School Press, 2003
China Business in a Nutshell
China business may be a dead serious undertaking so it is refreshing to read about it in a humerous way. The humour does not prevent the authors to share many valuable hints and insights. Especially the introduction contains many profound thoughts about the emergence of the Chinese market as we see it today. Very practical and amusing is the table to check which zodiac sign you are born under and ...

Copenhagen Laminated Pocket Map by Pocket-Pilot1 review
Pocket Pilot
Pocket-Pilot, 2007
Pocket Maps Rock!
Half the fun of traveling is the trip planning. The pocket map is perfect for that & such a perfect size to travel with. I like to travel light. It includes a ton of information, so I leave the heavier guide books, that have already been read, home. Very durable & easy to view. Don't leave home without it.
