All students undertaking empirical research for theses and dissertations will find this book helps them comprehend the key ongoing debates and engage with their own pre-understandings when trying to make sense of management and organizations.

Best I've seen.......2007-02-07
For the past five years I have been struggling with the philosophical issues of management. Given my beliefs, am I a "postmodernist", "Critical Theorist", "symbolic/interpretivist", "constructionist"? I know I'm not a positivist anymore. To sort this out, I had read directly in philosophy (difficult going), social theory (less difficult but still not easy), and management theory but I was having trouble getting a handle on it. Then I found Hatch & Cunliffe's book on Organizational Theory and I thought it was great, that is, until I discovered Understanding Management Research by Johnson and Duberley.
Johnson and Duberly not only clearly define and describe the various views but more importantly they clearified two issues that had been bothering me. First, what is the role of ontology? To me that seemed to be a bifurcation point but this wasn't clearly laid out in Hatch & Cunliffe's book or the other readings. Johnson and Duberley make it very explicit in a table in the last chapter and I think they've got it right. Second, I was having trouble placing ethnography and other qualitative types of research. They are often placed in the constructivist/hermeneutical realm but I knew some of it was clearly positivistic. Johnson and Duberley clarified that it can be in either area. As with most things, it is not always black and white but shades of gray. And Johnson and Duberley do a great job of making the shades of gray clearer...
Comprehensive and Highly Relevant.......2003-12-12
This text should be required reading for every aspiring management or organizational researcher. The bibliography alone is worth the price of the book. Johnson and Duberley provide a cogent overview of the major epistemological commitments. They deftly explore the strengths,weaknesses,applications and implications of each. Critical self-reflection is the perfect companion to this text. I have a renewed appreciation for the benefits, challenges and enduring importance of understanding my own epistemological commitments as well as the epistemological commitments that continue to influence the field of organizational studies.
Customer Reviews:
Well written book of fantastic recipes.......2004-02-24
This book is really quite interesting, very thorough, and the recipes truly are as about fat-free as you can get. Interestingly enough, a lot of them are also low carb as well. Very informative about Greek culture and customs as well. My only wish is that there were more recipes although there is enough presented to keep one busy for quite some time. I highly recommend this book. The author certainly knows how to invite strangers into her life (and to her table.) This books is exactly what it states it is and is truly a keeper.
Secrets of Fat Free Greek Cooking.......2001-06-29
The lamb dishes are OK, but most of everything else does not have the authentic Greek flavor. Does not taste very good after having had the real stuff.

Book Description
Now you can do good and do well at the same time. Most of us would prefer to invest in companies that share the same values that we do--if only we could outpace the S&P 500 at the same time. Now that goal has become more than an ephemeral New Year's resolution. In fact, investing that reflects investors' values today is both possible and profitable. "Socially responsible investing," or SRI, once largely dismissed as a novelty for the politically correct, is now considered a smart and lucrative way for anyone to make money. In fact, The Domini 400, which is the main index of socially responsible investments, has outperformed the S&P 500 for the last eight years. Increasing social and environmental awareness has propelled SRI to a $1.3 trillion industry, representing nearly ten percent of all invested assets--creating a potentially huge readership, eager for more information. This is a book for all investors--across philosophic and economic strata--who want to see their values mirrored in their portfolios. Because of outstanding performance and increasing interest in social responsibility, the demand for books on values-based investing is growing. Surprisingly, this book, written by SRI activists, is the only comprehensive source of information for this rapidly expanding and highly profitable market. Coverage explores: the nuts and bolts of socially responsible investing; the philosophy and remarkable history that built SRI; how many money and creating change are compatible goals; detailed information on socially responsible stocks, mutual funds, bonds and community investments; specifics on the new concept of "natural investing" and its significance; socially responsible companies and how they are screened.

investing.......2005-05-09
This is an eazy to understand book. Wish it had more info for the very small investors. It needs to be updated since alot has happen in the last 5 to 6 years. Otherwise I would recomend it.
Great handbook, weak bible.......2000-12-10
Brill, Brill and Feigenbaum's "Investing with Your Values" has been greeted with three cheers from the Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) community. It deserves perhaps two of the three. It aspires to be both a pragmatic handbook for SRI and the bible of the movement. As a handbook it is excellent. As a bible it is weak.
The book is divided into four large sections, of which the second and third are the most valuable. In Section II, the authors do an excellent job of describing the entire range of SRI activities: avoidance screening, affirmative screening, shareholder activism, and community investing. They lay out the strategies of each, explain the thinking behind them, and discuss issues readers should consider concerning them. For most people, SRI means little more than avoidance screening: refusing to own stocks in tobacco, alcohol, gambling, weapons or nuclear energy companies. The other approaches - all, if anything, more politically productive - have never, to my knowledge, been as fully and usefully presented as they are here.
The authors also do an excellent job of debunking the myth that investing along ethical lines lowers returns. Nobody who invested in the Pax World Fund, the Domini Social Index, or the Citizen Funds over the past several years will be found wringing their hands over missing gains. Socially screened funds have matched or outrun their unscreened competitors consistently. It's nice to see this myth laid to rest with a systematic barrage of pertinent research.
Section Three covers different kinds of investments: mutual funds, closed-end funds, stock, bonds, annuities, etc. The section also includes a catalog of socially screened mutual funds, complete with expense and performance data. This section, along with the many appendices, makes the book an excellent reference for the Responsible Investor.
In Sections II and III, the authors are writing within their expertise. Throughout the book, however, the authors slide from finances and investing into pure discussions of politics, ethics, and spirituality, and the results are always disappointing. When they're discussing SRI, they qualify as lucid, informed experts; when they discuss philosophy, theology, and politics, they're amateurs at best. Section IV spirals deep into New Age pretension and silliness. Even their preferred term for the SRI movement, "Natural Investing," is trendy, ill-conceived cant. (The English and Canadians call it "Ethical Investing," which is less coy and more accurate.) The authors pay lip service to the ancient roots of SRI, but they try to create new roots for it in New Age "spirituality." This tendency reaches its nadir when they rename the "voluntary simplicity" movement "voluntary abundance." Henry David Thoreau and John Woolman would cringe at the smarmy hypocrisy of the term.
Despite the weakness of their philosophizing, however, the book deserves applause for the amount of information on Ethical Investing it presents and the clarity with which it's presented. Despite its flaws, Responsible Investors should buy, read, and keep the book on hand. Or lend it around. Or put a copy in your church library and tell people it's there.
In a future revision, the authors should drop Section IV in its entirety and beef up Section III, on personal finance. They could write an excellent general introduction to personal finance - a "how-to" for nervous, well-meaning beginners - set in the context of SRI. These authors could improve an already fine book if they would take up this challenge.
Quick way to educate my Merrill Lynch broker.......2000-05-01
This book documents how to earn competitive returns with investments that 'do good'. That helped me quickly educate my investment advisor to my preferences for values-based investing.
The positive/ the negative.......1999-11-02
Investing with Your Values does an admirable job of covering all the various aspects of socially responsible investing, but unfortunately it's not that fun to read. Enthusiasm is great, but the book has a gee-whizish tone, which I found grating (call me a sourpuss). I preferred The Mindful Money Guide, which covered most of the same material more succinctly and gracefully while also making me laugh. Still, if you're looking for comprehensive coverage of socially responsible investing, Investing with Your Values is a good reference.
Great resource guide to ethical & profitable investing!.......1999-08-17

It contains a comprehensive, up-to-date list of resources and guides you through evaluating your beliefs in order to make investments that suit your particilar needs and principles.

Very Good Information.......2006-12-26

Good Guide for checking tax rules.......2002-12-17
This is an excellent guide if you have questions regarding your own home-based business. You can find out what you can deduct and what you can not deduct all from this book.
Most Helpful Book I Bought Before I Started My Business.......2002-03-17
This book was OUTSTANDING. It completely and simply explained everything that I needed to know about taxes, expenses, etc. before I started my business. Most HIGHLY recommend that anyone considering starting a business purchase this book.
A practical guide that provides specific guidelines.......2001-09-09
Reverting back to my comments on Mr. Daily's( Tax Savvy For Small Businesses) and Mr. Kamoroff's(A Small time Operator)reviews, this book coupled with the two previously mentioned books, should provide an outstanding foundation to start off with, as far as what you should and must do to operate a small business when it concerns your tax liability.
This book concentrates more on past precedents passed down by both the Appeals Courts and the Tax Courts, and what procedures can and cannot be implemented. Gives specific instruction in accordance with the IRC code, to follow and to determine what can be done to legally lower your tax liability.
This book is more legally technical than both books I mentioned above. While Daily's book gives you general examples of accounting procedures and legalities, Kamoroff book gets into the nuts and bolts of accounting procedures, along with a step by step guide to implement those procedures. These 3 books should be on every entrepenuer's shelf, for future reference and procedures.
