HEADS YOU WIN: How the Best Companies Think
Spitzer, Quinn
Book Number: 40650
ISBN: 068480431X
Publisher: Simon & Schuster February 17, 1997
8vo hardcover 304pp very good. Quinn Spitzer and Ron Evans of the Kepner-Tregoe consulting firm believe "critical thinking" is the true route to a winning business. It is the foundation upon which all other management theories are built, they argue, but it has changed over the years in a manner that few truly understand. In Heads You Win: How The Best Companies Think, they analyze the way top corporations are now harnessing the collective brainpower in their organizations to achieve success. Management fads come and go, but there is a constant in the workplace, argue the authors (CEO and practice leader, respectively, of a Pennsylvania consulting firm): Executives need to know how to think. Specifically, they must be able to analyze situations, identify the cause of problems and quickly implement solutions, make applicable decisions and seize opportunities. The authors demonstrate here how successful companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Chrysler and British Airways carry out this process. Consistent with their belief about how to solve problems, Spitzer and Evans break down each step into small bites, using a straightforward approach that recognizes that management books need not be deadly dull. "The initial objective of problem solving is not to solve the problem, but to keep from doing something stupid," they advise. They even provide a lengthy appendix that contains dozens of questions and forms to use in spurring critical thinking. When a new business buzzword is created every few months, a reminder of the importance of the basics is refreshing.

The New Entrepreneurs: Making a Living-Making a Life Through Network Marketing
Yarnell, Rene Reid
Book Number: 41564
ISBN: 1883599156
Publisher: Quantum Leap October 1999
8vo softcover 270pp very good. Index. In "The New Entrepreneurs," Rene Reid Yarnell raises poignant issues being faced by a growing number of professional men and women across the nation and around the world. With so little security in the workplace, the aftermath of downsizing on both those fired and those left behind, women hitting glass ceilings, workers not paid their worth and saving little or nothing toward retirement, with employee agitation on the rise, more and more workers are looking outside of corporate America for more suitable alternatives. As the corporate executive was the hero of the 20th century, Ms. Reid Yarnell proposes that, with the advancement of technology and the World Wide Web, the entrepreneur will be revered in the 21st century. But it will be a new entrepreneur, not one climbing corporate ladders, nor satisfied merely with amassing financial accomplishments. The 21st century entrepreneur will also seek the balance of lifestyle freedom, self-mastery, and personal fulfillment and find it working from home. Not only employees but employers are candidates for this new form of entrepreneurialism, tired of measuring their success by what they gave up to get it. They realize that having their own business takes more money and time than they'd budgeted; they can never get away on vacation and leave the business behind; Friday payroll is not an option; and an increasing number of startups are going under. What if, asks the author: you could have a business of your own...you could work at home...it didnt require a vast amount of startup cost...it requires no employees...you are in business for yourself but not by yourself...you inherit an experienced team who train you...you have an unrestricted earning potential...it has the ability to become a passive, residual income...you can determine your own schedule and prioritize your own life events...and you have the resources to contribute toward causes that are reflective of your values? nnThis emerging profession that has the potential to meet all of these criteria is called network marketing. What is that, you ask? It is a form of distribution of products and services that, through word of mouth promotion, uses the power of duplication of effort. Unlike conventional marketing that generally has a few representatives responsible for large volumes of sales, this form of marketing has large numbers of representatives responsible for a small number of sales. It is a form of direct selling in which the distributors are compensated on a multi-level basis as opposed to a more traditional single-level pay plan. The entrepreneurs who will carry us across the threshold of this new era will be legions of network marketers, waving the banner that signals our inalienable rights to lifestyle freedom, personal fulfillment, and financial peace of mind. This remarkable industry, the author predicts, will be responsible for changing social trends over the next few decades. Spending more time working from home, which is part of the explosive trend today, these entrepreneurs will be better mothers and fathers; they will reestablish priorities and create lives with a more elevated sense of purpose and fulfillment; and with more capital in the hands of responsible individuals, countless people will make more money than they ever dreamed, with many of them using their newfound wealth for altruistic causes. In "The New Entrepreneurs," you will be given guidance in deciding if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, discerning whether the network marketing industry is right for you, selecting the right company, evaluating a compensation plan, joining an effective team, the unique challenges women face in network marketing, how to work in this business as a family, the evolution of the industry, and be exposed to the most frequently asked questions and their responses.

Norton Senior was a fiery polemicist and fierce drinker who used the paper to castigate his enemies and indulge his biases. He even fought out his differences with his wife in its pages by publishing their divorce proceedings. Truth and later its stablemate the Daily Mirror made Ezra Norton one of the key media figures of his day. His notorious feud with Frank Packer led to a fist fight at Randwick racecourse. And his newspapers adopted and promoted his father′s muckraking style to turn the Norton brand of tabloid journalism into an institution. Yet for someone who profited from others′ scandals, Ezra Norton was an unusually private man.

The Globalization Myth: Why the Protestors Have Got It Wrong
Shipman, Alan
Book Number: 53680
ISBN: 1840463597
Publisher: Totem Books December 1999
8vo softcover 236pp very good. The 'No Logo-ers' need to switch sides. Global business can redistribute wealth, transfer technology and make the world work more effectively - for the benefit of all. The WTO, the IMF and others are the activists' best hope for steering our panicked planet off the rocks of inequality, oppression and environment-eating technology. But there's more to globalisation than Golden Arches by the Golden Temple, Cadillacs cruising the Valley of the Kings. Communities robbed by capitalism's 'invisible hand' are voting with their feet, going after the First World wealth currently denied them. Opening borders to exchange is the only alternative to closing them against runaway migration. Alan Shipman explains why globalisation is good - why it can spread the profits and spare the trees - and how multinationals will undermine the market economy and private property far more rapidly than the reddest-toothed revolutionary.nnAbout the AuthornAlan Shipman is an upcoming and unorthodox writer, journalist, and independent market analyst. A regular commentator for the BBC and the Guardian, he lives in Cambridge.

Book Number: 60346

Publisher: Checkmark Books 2008
8vo. Softcover. 406pp. Very good. Index. Globalization is a popular buzzword these days, yet it means very different things to different people. In today's globalized economy, an article of clothing is likely made in several different countries. For example, the raw material, such as cotton or wool, is produced in one country. Then the raw material may be shipped to a second country where it is woven into cloth. The woven fabric may then be sent to a third country where it is cut to a clothing pattern. The cut pieces are often shipped to yet a fourth country to be sewn together and assembled into an article of clothing. Only then is the final product put on the market for sale."Globalization and Free Trade" outlines the history of the expansion and globalization of national economies and explains how globalization evolved to its present state. This informative volume reviews current issues surrounding globalization, and presents case studies on several countries - including the United States, East Asia, Brazil, Russia, and China - to illustrate both the promise and the problems inherent in today's globalized markets.

The Myth of the Rational Market: A History of Risk, Reward, and Delusion on Wall Street
Fox, Justin
Book Number: 60348
ISBN: 9780060598990
Publisher: Harper Business 2009
8vo. Hardcover in d/w. 382pp. Very good. Index. Chronicling the rise and fall of the efficient market theory and the century-long making of the modern financial industry, Justin Fox's "The Myth of the Rational Market" is as much an intellectual whodunit as a cultural history of the perils and possibilities of risk. The book brings to life the people and ideas that forged modern finance and investing, from the formative days of Wall Street through the Great Depression and into the financial calamity of today. It's a tale that features professors who made and lost fortunes, battled fiercely over ideas, beat the house in blackjack, wrote bestselling books, and played major roles on the world stage. It's also a tale of Wall Street's evolution, the power of the market to generate wealth and wreak havoc, and free market capitalism's war with itself. The efficient market hypothesis - long part of academic folklore but codified in the 1960s at the University of Chicago - has evolved into a powerful myth. It has been the maker and loser of fortunes, the driver of trillions of dollars, the inspiration for index funds and vast new derivatives markets, and the guidepost for thousands of careers. The theory holds that the market is always right, and that the decisions of millions of rational investors, all acting on information to outsmart one another, always provide the best judge of a stock's value. That myth is crumbling.

8vo softcover 166pp very good. How do you hold 100 tons of water in the air with no visible means of support? Wheatley answers this question (you build a cloud, of course) and many others, ranging from cutting-edge science to the new paradigm of 21st-century organizations, that are just as enigmatic. Using exciting breakthroughs in biology, chemistry, and especially quantum physics, Wheatley paints a brand-new picture of business management. Paradoxes abound in this far-reaching work that may confound many pragmatists. This new relationship between business and science is nothing less than an entirely new set of lenses through which to view our organizations, offering not a Newtonian but a quantum perspective. Hold onto the top of your head when you read this book.
