Customer Reviews:
definitely the best of all related books.......2007-02-22
Forget all those established names: Barron's, Princeton review, Kaplan...this book is written by less well-known publishers, yet it definitely deserves its money. The French grammar is thouroughly explained, beginning from the very basics to the harder parts.The vocabulary strictly relates to what is actually tested. The sections are well written and you are learning something you won't be tested.
There are 6 tests which ressembled up to 95% the actual test. You can clearly rely on this book for the exam. I got 800 from the first shot! So, you're not going to regret having bought this book!!!
terrific.......2000-04-05
this helped me alot, and actually let me pass my french SAT IIs! thanks a lot!
Book Description
Upon its publication in 1962, this book became one of the founding texts of organizational sociology. Bringing together diverse approaches, it presented a new focus of interest: the formal organization. Blau and Scott raised the level of analysis from attention solely on individual participants and work groups to a broader understanding of organizations as collective actors.
In the book, the authors reviewed multiple types of studies—including case studies, experimental research, and surveys—and integrated them to define new central themes. They used their own empirical studies of two social welfare agencies to illustrate the ways in which varying organizational contexts shape work group and participant attitudes and activities. Formal Organizations served to integrate research on both formal and informal systems, authority and leadership, and stressed the importance of links to the wider environment. This reissue, which includes a new introduction by Scott, makes this seminal work accessible to a new generation of scholars and practitioners.

Book Description
This is a practical guide for CEOs and corporate managers who want to improve their ability to develop corporate strategy, chart the direction of their organization, and involve their key executives in the successful implementation of that strategy. Robert describes a unique and proven method for setting and implementing strategy and for dealing with the qualitative variables that face an organization. The work begins with an examination of the common pitfalls of strategic planning. Subsequent chapters introduce the concept of strategic thinking (a necessary prerequisite to strategic planning), and treat common obstacles and misperceptions. After the concepts have been clearly elucidated, the author goes on to describe their implementation in a variety of corporate settings.
Book Description
New Year's Eve, 1999: The world fixed its eyes on Manhattan's Times Square. And the brightest light that December evening came from the seven-story television monitor covering the Nasdaq's newly opened MarketSite at 43rd and Broadway. In many ways, the Nasdaq's phenomenal climb during the '90s epitomized the optimism Americans felt as they entered the new millennium—just as its fall would later reflect the nation's anxieties in a post-crash, post-9/11 world.
Indeed, throughout its history the Nasdaq has not only mirrored our times, it has profoundly influence them. What started as a Depression-era organization designed to combat stock market fraud—and struggled for decades as the upstart of Wall Street—is now vying with the venerated New York Stock Exchange as the global icon of corporate wealth and success. The Nasdaq fueled the growth of bedrock New Economy giants like Microsoft, Oracle, and Intel. In the process it became the first true online community, linking traders, investors, Main Street, and Wall Street together via a hyperfast, seamless electronic network.
In Nasdaq, author and journalist Mark Ingebretsen digs deep into the "Market of Markets" to reveal the famous (and the infamous) characters and events that helped shape it, the scandal that rocked it, and the vision of one of its leaders, Frank Zarb, to create a truly global trading arena—the most powerful engine of capital creation in history. It's a story that reaches from the hallowed financial firms in New York to the billion-dollar start-ups in Silicon Valley, from the farthest reaches of Europe and Asia to the hometown investors who helped the Nasdaq revolutionize the way stocks are traded.
Nasdaq picks up where Charles Geisst's Wall Street: A History leaves off and masterfully chronicles one of the most important eras in global financial history. You'll discover a drama like no other and realize what most people don't know, or don't understand, about the Nasdaq.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent account and history..but...........2003-08-20
As a Nasdaq employee, I enjoyed the book thoroughly. However, I was disappointed with the INCREDIBLE lack of editing. It is fraught with spelling and grammatical errors.
Knock on wood.......2002-05-23
While Ingebretsen's history of the early OTC and NASDAQ are detailed and interesting, I found his style both wooden and lumbering. He is hoplessly sqaure. Further, his analysis of the preY2K NASDAQ provides no insight. Witness....
"Investing in Internet stocks was often like playing Russian Roulette."
His analysis into the post Y2K NASDAQ is even less insightful. He has the ring of that smug kid who constantly shouted on the playground, "I told you so."
Still, considering the lack of serious and even semi-serious work on the subject, I think his effort is noteworthy. Hopfully something with a little more spice will come down the pipe.
Complicated topic made fascinatingly readable.......2002-05-03
Ingebretsen has that rare ability among writers-the ability to decipher a complicated subject and present it in an entertaining, readable way. Should be required reading for all B-school students, as well as for anyone who wants to know how the markets work and how their trades are executed. I learned a ton reading this.
Excellent.......2002-04-28
I thought this was an excellent book. On one level it's a well-written, and fascinating, history of Nasdaq. But beyond that it's a detailed study of the history of stock trading. If you want to know what actually happens when you give an order to your broker to buy 100 shares in Microsoft, or how all these new ECNs work, read this book.
Indepth Scholarship and Insights.......2002-04-24
The author has shown a broad capacity for in-depth scholarship in a little known arena. One of the most interesting facets of this work is the initial section concerning the OTC market before the NASDAQ brought about automated trading. As the author explains, in those early days, buying and selling stocks was a little like buying vintage automobile parts. Dealers called each other on the phone. And after locating the stock, they at times didn't even haggle over the price. Rather one dealer would buy the stock from another and simply mark up the price for the customer. Even though this system persisted until the 1970s, hardly any information about it exists, unless you‚re willing to visit the stacks of a large university library. For that reason, I applaud Mr. Ingebretsen's contribution to the research of the long and colorful history of markets and look forward to many more of his insights in his future scholarship.

Book Description
Horses played a vital role in the economy of pre-industrial England. They acted as draught animals, pulled ploughs, waggons and coaches, worked machines, and transported goods around the country. As saddle animals they enabled their riders to carry out a wide variety of tasks, and at all levels of society they were regarded as status symbols in a unique relationship with man shared by no other animal. During the Tudor and Stuart period, horses were needed in ever-growing numbers, and for a greater variety of tasks. As demand grew, improvements became necessary in the means of supply and distribution. The agents of change, the specialist dealers, were often condemned as rogues and cheats, whose actions raised prices and caused shortages. Dr Edwards argues that, far from being generally unscrupulous, the dealers were no better or worse than those amongst whom they lived and worked.
Book Description
This practical guide describes difficult situations, analyzes how they come about and then suggests strategies for dealing with the problems successfully. It aims to address disruptive behavior patterns once and for all, instead of having to handle one-off "difficult" events, time and time again.

Customer Reviews:
Hardcover good; paperback bad.......2007-05-09
This book gave me a lot of insight into my own reactions to people who annoyed me. I highly recommend owning it so that you can refer back to it from time to time. Watch out for the yellow "paperback" version though, which is no more than a paper pamphlet that only includes half of the content of the hardcover book.
Just walk away.......2007-05-08
I expected this book to be more interesting. It was simple and "cut to the chase" but it did not give real insight. It was almost as if you could handle any type of person as long as you have common sense and the ability to "just walk away". "Just walk away" tends to be the theme for almost everytype of person/situation/personality that was listed in the book. I wouldnt have purchased if i knew it was going to be so vague. I would just glance through the book at the book store.
Not worth the money.......2006-02-06
First the positive: The book does have useful information! Thus the one star.
Second the book is not worth the money: It is 5 pieces of paper printed on both sides - that is including the cover. It may be worth $1 for the infomation - but not $5!
I wish I would have read the previous review - before I purchased the book.
Should be read once a month........2006-01-06
This is a small pamphlet and takes only minutes to read. Yet it is well worth the money. It clearly exposes the most difficult people. But, because these truths are so easy to forget, I recommend placing the booklet in the bathroom. Then read it often to save yourselves from a lot of "you know what."
A Grateful Reader.......2005-11-15
I bought this little book on impulse, and when I read it I was so grateful for the help it gave me, I had to tell somebody. I called the number in the back of the book and was amazed when the author Murray Oxman himself answered. He was so friendly and at ease it made a big impression on me. His manner surely confirms the niceness in his book. There are so many sensible and effective approaches to smoothing out relations with all kinds of bothersome people. It dissolved a hurtful situation that had upset me for years. There's a whole new direction, in fact a whole new kind of education for me here, and it's a lot more practical than most of what I learned in school. I recommend this book highly. Get it. Read it. Use it.

Customer Reviews:
Higher awareness.......2006-12-12
Mr. Howard helped me to see that I don't have to associate with much of mankind. So often you are around people that just drain you of your energy and you don't understand why you're exhausted. Read this wonderful little book for life changing answers and much more. This is a treasure.
Not a positive solution........2000-06-11
The book explains how to tell unwanted people to buzz-off but fails to give any resolution to solve the problem. I don't believe telling somebody to go away or buzz-off is going to solve any issues in a working environment. The book has nothing more than cheap pointless comments that are more than likely going to make thing worse than they already are. I disregarded the book before I got to the 9th page. There are other books like "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie that do in fact deal with issues of dealing with unfriendly people and turning them around to become friends. Telling somebody to buzz-off is not the answer. It's a poor book in every aspect.

Book Description
In
Decision Modelling And Information Systems: The Information Value Chain the authors explain the interrelationships between the decision support, decision modelling, and information systems. The authors borrow from Porter's value chain concept originally set out in the organizational context and apply it to a corporate IS context. Thus data, information and knowledge is seen to be the progressive value added process leading to business intelligence. The book captures key issues that are of central interest to decision support researchers, professionals, and students. The book sets out an interdisciplinary and contemporary view of Decision Support System (DSS).
The first two parts of the book focus on the interdisciplinary decision support framework, in which mathematical programming (optimization) is taken as the inference engine. The role of business analytics and its relationship with recent developments in organisational theory, decision modelling, information systems and information technology are considered in depth. Part three of the book includes a carefully chosen selection of invited contributions from internationally-known researchers. These contributions are thought-provoking and cover key decision modelling and information systems issues.
These chapters include: Arthur Geoffrion on
restoring transparency to
computational solutions, Bill Inmon on the concept of the
corporate
information factory, Louis Ma and Efraim Turban on
strategic
information systems, and Erik Thomsen on
information impact and its
relationship to the value of information technology.
The final part of the book covers contemporary developments in the related area of business intelligence considered within an organizational context. The topics cover computing delivered across the web, management decision-making, and socio-economic challenges that lie ahead. It is now well accepted that globalisation and the impact of digital economy are profound; and the role of e-business and the delivery of decision models (business analytics) across the net lead to a challenging business environment. In this dynamic setting, decision support is one of the few interdisciplinary frameworks that can be rapidly adopted and deployed to so that businesses can survive and prosper by meeting these new challenges.
