Dan S. Cohen

Harvard Business School Press, 2005

Gives new meaning to the term "practical."
I was initially skeptical when this book was recommended by a coworker. But wow! The two most outstanding points are: 1.The change management insights to be gained from the real-life case studies. It's reassuring to know you're not alone in facing these challenges. 2. The dignostic tools are very helpful in identifying similar issues to be resolved in my company. Great not to be "insulted" by ...

David Lax, James Sebenius

Your Coach in a Box, 2007

A strategic approach to negotiations
Most books on negotiation combine the hardball win-lose tactics with the more effective win-win approach. 3-D Negotiation is different: it adds a new third dimension to negotiation, mainly the need for developing a dynamic strategy on how to set up and shape the optimum situation and overall conditions for negotiations (away from the table), and well before negotiations start.

Jay B. Lipe

Chammerson Press, LLC, 2002

My highest recommendation: valuable, hard-to-find advice
As a marketing consultant and author of several books for entrepreneurs and professionals, I expected this volume to be similar to many other marketing books. It's not. Not only is it focused on existing rather than new businesses, it concentrates on planning and strategy, which receive little attention in other books. Full of checklists, charts and truly helpful explanations, it will aid you ...

Gower Publishing Company, 2003

Reader From Germany
As an expatiate working in Germany, Dr. Muna's book applied to situations that I have encountered in Germany. Although his book only attempts to deal with the management styles in the Middle East, it has a much broader reach that can be applied to many management situations, especially on the Affiliate level in American companies. I found his to be book very insightful and applicable. This is ...

Best Guide to Podcasting I have read yet
I work for Loyola Marymount University. We recently decided to make all lectures available via Podcasts. I went searching for books on the subject in order to find a solution for the school. This book was by far the best book on the subject. It even gave us some ideas for video blogging that we hadn't previously considered. Without the precise and coherent coverage given to Podcasting in this ...

George W. Anderson

Prentice Hall PTR, 2004

Nothing like it, excellent resource
The ultimate reference for performance testing (certainly testing, more so than actual tuning, though the latter is covered well in the last few chapters). The author's approach is complete in that it addresses how to test along with what, when, to what degree, and with what kind of staffing resources. I'm already thinking of ways we can improve our own change control processes, and based on ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2005

The Art of Office War
This is one of the funniest office-related books I've read. These guys are cynical, sarcastic and have more insights in modern workplaces than most business consultants. If only we could buy these products--coffee mugs with your six-figure salary emblazoned on it and other ego-pumping products. It reminds me of the Alex Baldwin character in Glengarry Glen Ross, who plunks his Rolex on the desk in ...
