Book Description
This collection, with contributors from many distinguished writers in the field, presents work which has been able to exploit relevant data for countries such as the United States, France, Italy, Belgium and Japan. The essays show, for the first time with a large sample, the high degree of complementarity between foreign direct investment and home exports, especially for intrafirm trade, and the exact evolution in the nature of employment between mother companies and affiliates.

A "how to" section in each skills chapter discusses techniques for developing leadership curricula in the skill in police academies, college-level leadership courses, and continuing education programs. The Challenge of Modern Police Leadership. Who Is a Leader? Communication: Key to Interpersonal Relations Problem Solving. Motivation: Key to Success. Planning and Organizing. Actuation and Implementation. The Ethical Leader. For Criminal Justice professionals and practitioners.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book!.......2007-08-01
Excellent book! A must read for progressive line-level officers and aspiring police supervisors and command staff. The only practical book of its kind on the market. Although not red lights and sirens oriented, the book emphasizes ethical leadership skill development for frontline officers as well as police managers.
The book is well cited. The experts cited lend support, credibility, and validity to the authors' position. As stated in the book, the goal is to deploy officers to the field who are self-contained ethical leadership agents capable of demonstrating effective communications, critical thinking and problem solving skills.
I highly recommend the Meese and Ortmeier book.
Dry, boring and over quoted.......2006-11-10
I purchased this book for a sergeant's promotional exam for my Department. While this book does touch on some good issue that are relevent in today's policing world, the authors delivered it in such a dry manner that I could barely sit for more than a half hour at a time reading it.
The authors also constantly use quotes from other researchers and authors, it makes you wonder how much of the information is actually written by them. Most chapters could be written in under three pages, but for some reason the authors over write in an apparent attempt to make the information sound collegial.
Trust me, only purchase this book if it a required one for an exam. Other than that, if you need something other than a ambien to fall asleep, this could work.
Book Description
This casebook helps entrepreneurial managers, and those who finance them, make sensible resource acquisition and investment decisions. One of its primary competitive advantages is the strong international context, as there are many global opportunities for investment and growth. These cases will help future managers and entrepreneurs identify opportunities in a global context. The cases also show how to assess which countries represent the best places to start a business, how to assemble the necessary resources, how to adapt locally and execute for success, and much more.
Customer Reviews:
This book is way overpriced.......2005-03-29
I can't believe the nerve of the publisher charging what they do for material written by grad students. To add insult to injury, they didn't even bother re-setting the typography or images. Tables are disconnected from the text and the graphics are horrible.
I had to buy this book for an entrepreneurship class. Do not buy this book as a reference for Finance or Entrepreneurship. It is a bound collection of student papers. The graphics are horrible, usually badly enlarged clip art or newspaper-quality pictures. It is very difficult to find any information in the book (like relevant cases) because there is no index and the table of contents is after 12 pages of advertisment and boasting by the "author".
If your professor requires this book, well, I'm sorry. If you're looking for a reference book, you'd be better off picking one at random.

Book Description
Executive decision makers are coming to understand that strategic management, national government policies, and the international public sector are all related, often in subtle ways. Foreign markets now have even more influence on corporate performance. Dr. Beenhakker familiarizes readers with a multifaceted approach to decision making in an international context, focusing on the interactions between the private and public sectors. In doing this he shows how macroeconomic issues affect the global economy, specifically their impact on international financing. Though drawing upon a wide range of sources in economics, finance, accounting, and statistics, among other fields, this work requires no special grounding in any of these fields to be read, grasped, and applied. Dr. Beenhakker's analytical techniques help translate the often vague rules of thumb used by international finance executives into specific decision making criteria. With numerous examples and illustrations, plus a clearly defined conceptual framework to analyze, predict, and respond to changes in the financial environment and world trade, Dr. Beenhakker's book is an essential resource for executive-level decision makers throughout today's globalizing organizations.

Customer Reviews:
A Seminal Work.......2002-05-17
Archeology of Madness weaves a magnificent story and analysis of a life lived with faith, great creativity, tragedy, madness and, possibly, love. Profound and thorough, the book offers incites into the creativity and madness of Komitas through an interdisciplinary analysis that elegantly ties the fields of psychiatry, art, music, history and geopolitics.
People are always fascinated by the creative process, by what inspires great works of art and the great artists that produce them. The Archeology of Madness, seemingly through exhaustive research and original thought, draws lines between this great artist's childhood, life's experiences, relationships with the Church, the Armenian nation, friendships and love, music, creativity, the tragedy of the Armenian Genocide and his madness.
I recommend this book to all who wish to gain an incite into a great creative mind, its making and destruction.
The truth about Komidas' childhood by his close relatives.......2002-04-06
Dear Sir,
As a close relative of Komidas I disagree and reject the statements of the author about Komidas' childhood. My maternal grandmother Marig who is referred to in the book is Komidas' cousin and they have been brought up together and fed by my great grandmother. Having been supplied our family's version of the true story told by Marig herself, the author has totally disregarded the truth and even misquoted Marig's statements, (footnote-21 page-18) that is, the words published in the author's book were taken out of context to reflect the opposite meaning, thus distorting the childhood life of Komidas. The author has consciously manipulated the words of the original article of my mother and grandmother Marig and used the manipulated version to prove her own point.
The Karakashian and Tashjian families regretfully reject the author's opinion and false statements about Komidas' childhood life.
Sincerely,
Sebouh Z. Tashjian

A precious find.......2002-03-16
I have been exposed to Komitas's music all my life and I have heard so much about him. I had heard that the genocide of 1915 had driven him crazy. I did not know he lived another 20 years, mostly in asylums in France.
The author of this book went digging for information about those two decades and about earlier events that led to Komitas's mental illness. She found that 1915 did not suddenly drive him mad. An accumulation of earlier events (e.g., he was an orphan) had him on the edge. Well, all great artists are slightly mad, I suppose.
She writes about his strained relations with the church (he was a celibate priest) and about his "relationship" with a certain woman.
All in all a very informative book about an important person for Armenians.
The book Archeologhy of Madness - Komitas - ..........2002-03-05
Dear Sir,
As a reader of the above mentioned book and a close relative of Komitas, I disagree and reject the statements of the author about Komitas' childhood. My maternal grandmother, Marig who is referred to in the book, is Komitas' cousin and they have been brought up together and fed by my grand grandmother. Although the author was supplied our true version of the story told by Marig herself, the author has totally disregarded the truth and even misquoted Marig's statements thus distorting the childhood life of Komitas.
The Karakashian and Tashjian families, being the close relatives of Komitas, regretfully reject the author's opinion and false statements about Komitas' childhood life.
