great book
this book along with naomi klein's the shock doctrine, michael albert's parecon and robin hahnel's economic justice and democracy are the best modern criticisms of free market capitalism. though chang seems to favor some form of market socialism blended with regulated capitalism, and i dont fully agree, the argument against free market capitalism is compelling and sound.

Ricardo Semler

Random House Business Books, 2001

An unorthodox approach to running a business
Ricardo Semler calls himself a maverick, but he's actually a visionary. Semler, now 49, was way ahead of the curve 25 years ago when he radically altered the structure and philosophy of his father's company, Semco. Long before most businesses acknowledged that employees were thinking, feeling human beings and not timecard-punching robots, Semler rebuilt the infrastructure at Semco, eliminating ...

One of the best books ever written on negotiation
This book changed the study and practice of negotiation since it was first published. It is one of the most important books on negotiation ever written. It is based on "interest based" negotiation and "expanding the pie" and then "dividing it". It is about cooperative negotiation and how this should be the default rule whenever possible. It is excellent and a must read for any student ...

Its not tips.. its a technique that has to be worked out
My profile: 42 yo, sales engineer. I find this audiobook a constant refernce in my travel pack. As a sales engineer on the road I keep resorting to the techniques of this book to find the break-through awakening in the negotiation process. This approach is not ivory-towered inspirired, its based on very concrete situations and it calls for leaderhip qualities that are assumed by default ...

The "Core Values" of Corporate Business of the Yesterday and Today
Let me just say, I have read two books by Jim Collins and his research team and I have not been at all disappointed. All chapters were explained without complex sentence writings and without all the extra stuff. For example, "Resiliency (not perfection) is the signature of greatness, be it in a person, an organization, or a nation." Jim Collins provided within each chapter insights on how to ...

Along with an earlier book, "Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective" he gives sufficient and tangible real world examples of how developing nations and infant & growing industries need ...

Mental Health text that you can understand
There are way too many nursing books out there where the author is more interested in bloating their own ego than actually making a readable text. Linda Eby takes psych and makes it understandable. I used this book in nursing school and I actually started using it for concepts my other text books made way too hard. You won't be sorry you bought this book. Buy it.

Carolyn Taylor

Random House Business Books, 2005

"Vision without execution is hallucination." (Thomas Edison)
One of several great challenges that many organizations now face is building and then sustaining what Carolyn Taylor describes as a "culture for success." To do so, they must make a commitment to change initiatives that inevitably encounter barriers, many of them cultural and the result of what James O'Toole, in Leading Change, so aptly characterizes as "the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of ...

A fascinating book about the London that tourists don’t see. Paul Talling has been recording ramshackle London for several years and his website has become a point of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of fans. In his book, he looks at the cream of the down-at-heel, blending photographs with accounts of how certain buildings and sights fell into disrepair and what is likely to happen to them. Houses, pubs, cinemas, bomb shelters, ...

You Get What You Pay For
A company at which I worked adopted one of the philosophies in this book -- the core business -- and outsourced all of the functions it considered non-core, such as human resources, accounting, info technology etc. The resulting situation was miserable, I've never worked with unhappier people, and I'm glad as heck to be away from that outfit. The "unreason" concept is definitely nothing to be ...
