                    Book Description

                    Innovation is increasingly identified as the critical factor in ensuring economic competitiveness. Departments of state and quasi-governmental organizations in many countries including, Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK, have issued reports and calls to action; but implementation will continue to be problematic unless the points made in this book are taken into account.Drawing on 350 in-depth interviews with senior managers, this book presents an original theory about the characteristics of managers in "good innovative organizations " and "poor innovative organizations ". It pays close attention to the attitudes, understandings, assumptions and interpretations of managers, who are often the ultimate decision-makers when it comes to innovation. The text is supported by real-life, internationally-known cases such as Hewlett-Packard, Zeneca and the BBC, as well as voluntary sector cases such as Oxfam. It is also enriched by substantial and highly revealing quotations from senior managers themselves.

                              Book Description

                              Operations Management: Contemporary Concepts and Cases, is the first of its kind and meets a growing need in the market. More professors are searching for a text that contains both text and cases. They are also searching for a shorter and flexible text, which allows them to assign additional readings, cases, or simulations. With the emergence of team-taught and cross-functional programs, Roger Schroeder’s book is a perfect fit as the book integrates cross-functional coverage and examples in every chapter. The size and price of the book also make it attractive for the cross-functional curriculum since those courses often require the student to purchase more than one text. The cases offer variety in length and rigor with several of the cases being from Harvard and Darden. This variety makes the book appropriate for both undergraduates and MBA students. The student CD-ROM, which is packaged with the book, is an interactive learning tool and brings the material to life.

                                  After one hundred years of relative obscurity, women's ice hockey finally debuted at the 1998 Winter Olympics. For the first time ever, millions of fans watched as talented female players skated in highly competitive games. The sport itself had at long last won world recognition. With over 100 great full-color action photos, this practical book demonstrates basic skating skills and hockey knowledge, equipment, power skating, shooting, passing and scoring, goaltending, playing without the puck, training and crosstraining, how to find or create a team, and how to locate women's hockey resources. The author lives in Brooklyn, NY. 96 pages (all in color), 8 x 10.

                                  5 out of 5 stars This book covers things that the others don't!!.......2000-05-24

                                  This book was extremely helpful to me. Not only does it cover the complicated stuff such as backwards crossovers but also the things no one else talks about. Things like getting up after you fall down! Another plus is the pictures. Everything from proper stopping techniques to the best way to put on all your gear step by step. This book is a must if you're thinking about playing ice hockey!

                                  5 out of 5 stars Now there's REALLY no excuse for women not to play hockey........1999-12-03

                                  I've never seen hockey skills and strategy described as clearly as Aaron Foeste has in this book (without any oversimplifying or patronizing!). (Bruce Curtis' excellent photos don't hurt, either.) Skate, don't walk!

                                  While the term double agent implies contradiction, Adrian Havill's portrait of spymaster Robert Hanssen reveals a man truly driven by opposing demons. Hanssen was a consummate loner, "Walter Mitty squared," yet he approached the Soviets himself in quest of the thrill-filled life of a double agent. A staunch conservative and strict Catholic, he took money from communists--to give diamonds and Mercedes to strippers on one hand, and to send his six children to expensive Catholic schools on the other. Havill, a seasoned chronicler of criminals and celebrities, creates a taut and troubling portrait of a disturbed man who compromised the security of a nation. He also gives an inside look into the oft-inept FBI, the National Security Agency's futuristic surveillance systems, and the spy-versus-spy world of Russian intelligence. --Lesley Reed

                                  Book Description

                                  Robert Philip Hansen thought he was smarter than the system. For decades, the quirky but respected counterintelligence expert, religious family man, and father of six, sold top secret information to agents of the Soviet Union and Russia.A self-taught computer expert, Hansen often encrypted his stolen files on wafer-thin disks. The data-some 6000 pages of highly classified documents-revealed precious nuclear secrets, outlined American espionage initiatives, and named names of agents-spies who covertly worked for both sides.Soviet government leaders, and their successors in the Russian Federation, used the stolen information to undermine U.S. policies and to eliminate spies in their own ranks.Moscow did not allow their moles the luxury of a defense: at least two men named by Hanssen were executed; a third languished for years in a Siberian hard labor camp.For more than twenty years, Bob Hanssen was the perfect spy.He personally collected at least $600,000 from his Russian handlers while another $800,000 was deposited in his name at a Moscow bank.Along with the cash came Rolex watches and cut diamonds. The money financed both his children's education at schools run by the elite and ultra-conservative Catholic organization, Opus Dei, and an inexplicably strange fling with a former Ohio "stripper of the year."But he didn't just do it for the money; he did it for the thrill and for a mysterious third reason rooted in religious mysticism.He lacked the people skills to play office politics, and it seemed the aging FBI analyst faced a disappointing career mired in middle management.Instead, he chose to become one of the most dangerous spies in America's history.And no one suspected him until just weeks before his arrest.Robert Philip Hanssen thought he was smarter than the system.And until February 18, 2001, he was right.That's when federal agents surrounded him while he was attempting to complete an exchange with his handlers at a Virginia park.When the G-men captured their mark, they catapulted the once innocuous bureaucrat onto the front pages of every newspaper in America.The most notorious spy since the Rosenbergs had finally become a victim of his own undoing.Now, drawing on more than 100 interviews with Bob Hanssen's friends, colleagues, coworkers, and family members, and confidential sources, best-selling author Adrian Havill tells the entire story you haven't read as only he can.The Spy Who Stayed Out in the Cold tells not only how he did it, but why. AUTHORBIO: Adrian Havill is the author of While Innocents Slept and The Mother, The Son, And the Socialite: The True Story of a Mother-Son Crime.He has also written several biographies, including The Last Mogul: The Unauthorized Biography of Jack Kent Cooke, Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, Man of Steel: The Career and Courage of Christopher Reeve, and contributed to Juice: The O.J. Simpson Tragedy.He lives in Virginia with his wife, Georgiana.They have two children.

                                  Havill, once again, has written an engrossing book. I will proclaim my own bias by pointing out something, though. On page 173, Havill mentions the Clinton years "begin with the shoot-outs at Ruby Ridge and Waco." Well, actually, no, George the first was president at the time of Ruby Ridge. And Havill's comment about "King William" make me wonder about his agenda when most of the spying going on is during the Reagan-Bush years. In books about policies or personalities you expect that: you know where the author is coming from and you digest the material accordingly. In a book that is SUPPOSED to be about Robert Hanson I find it telling that the only president he mentions in a derogatory manner is Clinton. Makes me wonder if there is other information he left out. . .Still, you can't fault the guy's talent for spinning a phrase. A worthy book.

                                  4 out of 5 stars Gets the Word Out.......2003-05-05

                                  Post 9-11, how many people really know how deeply Robert Hanssen damaged national security? A recent dinner with several academics suggested, not a whole lot, if that sample counts in any way. Havill's book may not satisfy the connoisseurs of this niche of investigative journalism, but the book serves an important function; it exposes the depth of the betrayal and the nature of the agency that he ravaged. That system and the people who oversee it, have much to be ashamed of. The press has magnificently implied that the damage was minimal. The adopted supposition then by a large part of the citizenry was that it was "low level" information that he handed to the Russians. The press did a great job of keeping the public snookered. Havill does his darndest to refute that suggestion with the details of the top secrets that were handed over to the Russians.

                                  As a psychological case study; Hanssen is the archetype of the Jungian shadow. The religious, dour and convinced patriot by day and the vulgar, ... depraved, traitor at night. Indeed Hanssen betrayed everyone, primarily his overworked and short-changed wife, but also his country, his church and of course, his employer. Why then, did people just fall for his act? They didn't according to the author; there were members of his own extended family, starting with his brother in law, a fellow agent and fellow employees who at least hinted at the deceptive and twisted nature of his allegiance or lack thereof.
                                  How can we correct such ... neglect of self-policing in our governmental offices? Well, it will not be easy, if the educated voter and the concerned public is somehow "picking up" that the damage was superficial. There are, afterall too many government sponsored daily security news items to sift through and ponder. Havill's work needs to be read and if it is as a form of entertainment; which it can be, all the better!

                                  4 out of 5 stars Solid writing - Nothing fancy.......2002-07-04

                                  This is a well-written and footnoted account of the Robert Hanssen spy case. Author Havill provides ample background information on Hanssen's early years and his involvement in Opus Dei that sheds some light on the spy's troubled personality. On the face, Hanssen was dedicated to his family, his religion and was a right of center flag waver. On the other side of the coin, Hanssen spent tens of thousands of dollars on a stripper he "adopted" while his family struggled financially, and was a traitor who sold out his country for ego strokes and money. Havill did a solid job of describing Hanssen's acts of espionage, but Hanssen's motivation remains an unexplained, contradictory jumble.

                                  The biggest shocker in all of this is how a genuinely fouled-up personality like Robert Hanssen eluded the FBI's internal security apparatus for 25 years, rising quite high in the Counter-Espionage hierarchy. One can only hope that FBI Director Mueller and Attorney General Ashcroft will do a better job at policing the agency than their predecessors did.

                                  With people like Robert Hanssen in the FBI it is no wonder that terrorists can have their way with us and we never find-out about it until they fly airplanes into buildings. On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists hijacked four airliners with horrific results. We all know the rest of the story. After you read this book you will not feel as safe as you beforehand. Hopefully there is not a Robert Hanssen in the Middle-East Section.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Yet Another Attempt to Understand Robert Hanssen.......2002-06-19

                                  Here we go...another attempt to get a book out in time to sell it before the general public forgets who the subject is. Problem is with that theory is that we have seveal books that are way too much a like. If only one would have covered his chilhood better and paid epecial attention to Opus Dei, both of which I believe had more effect than anyone will ever know. I'd also like to know how an FBI Agent got his hands on all this supposed NSA and CIA information. Even in these days of "Homeland Security", these folks just don't share well at all. I think there is/was a middle-man (CIA?) in there somewhere. No way NSA or CIA would reveal info to the FBI, who they consider just to be the Federal police dept with no "need to know" anything important of an international nature. The whole thing sounds bogus to me. - Former NSA Employee

                                          The Cure for the Common CRISIS! Every business has a problem that can turn into a crisis. Whether your business is a Fortune 500 company or a neighborhood store, a crisis situation could needlessly damage your reputation as well as destroy individual careers. The Crisis Counselor is the one book that provides business owners, managers, and executives alike with the information needed to avoid, manage, or even thrive during a business crisis. By following the author's dynamic, proactive strategies for dealing with "crises" that can arise in any business--such as downsizing, corporate lawsuits, poor employee morale, death of a company executive, damaging rumors, product defects, negative media coverage--you can learn how to recognize a crisis, plan for its management, practice for the reaction to it, and then study the crisis-response process once it's complete. Filled with practical advice and delivered in an easy-to-read Q&A format, The Crisis Counselor is a book no business should be without. Praise for The Crisis Counselor "One of the ten top books on PR. . . .

                                          5 out of 5 stars Extinguishing Business Brushfires.......2000-05-03

                                          Many of us prepare for everyday emergencies by storing a spare tire in the trunk of our car or a flashlight in the kitchen drawer. But few businessmen have the foresight to keep a written first-aid kit at the office to deal with the inevitable business crisis.

                                          Jeffrey Caponigro's book is a sort of fire extinguisher set to prose that one can reach for in a business emergency. It provides a wealth of practical tips on heading off potential problems and managing a crisis when it strikes.

                                          This well organized and clearly written work stresses that you should seek communication during a crisis instead of avoiding it. All too often a CEO under siege adopts an ostrich-like head in the sand approach that merely digs his company deeper into a hole.

                                          The author offers several insightful and amusing case studies to prove his points. Each illustration is accompanied by a specific set of guidelines in bullet-format. For example, we are advised to monitor media reports on our business problem using Nexis-Lexis and a list of internet sites. We're counseled to construct an electronic database to keep track of all inquiries about the crisis and our company's responses. This feedback loop insures that the company conveys a consistent message to its customers, the media, its employees and stock analysts. Otherwise you risk losing your company's most valuable asset -- its credibility.

                                          The book has a detailed index that allows the crisis manager to quickly scan for specific types of business crises. As a communication specialist for CEOs, all too often I've witnessed the PR business blunders that Jeffrey Caponigro warns against.

                                          Finally, a public relations professional has written an easily understandable book that anyone can rely on as an off-the-shelf resource to guide them through a business crisis.

                                          Jeffrey Caponigro's book is to the crisis manager what Virgil was to Dante --- an indispensable guide through the inferno of a business crisis.
