Ordinary to Extraordinary.......2006-04-14

CEO of Klemmer & Assoc., Brian Klemmer gives useful advice on how to increase intimacy, sales, and production. He uses life-altering ideas to help people become more bold, sustain change, stop feeling trapped, and how to stop being a victim to your feelings. Without cliches or false views of reality, this book will not leave you the way it found you. The book gives you "ten lessons to coach yourself and others to peak performance." The first chapter, "What The Facts Really Mean", alone changed the way I approach situations. It gave me the tools to place correct meanings to past and current experiences.

Book Description

Up-to-the-minute examples of market-leading companiesand strategistsin action

Strategy that is both creative and pragmatic is today's number one competitive edge. It has been the driving force behind the success of firms, such as McDonald's and Microsoft, and executives like Sam Walton and Jack Welch. Mastering Strategy examines best practices and examples from these and other companies, CEOs, and academics, and details how executives can benchmark them to overcome new questions and problems in today's harder-faster-smarter world.

From achieving market leadership to managing change, today's business leaders must not only stay atop the latest trends, but also understand and improve the core issues that drive their organizations. By distilling scores of resources into one powerful volume, authors Jeffrey Rigsby and Guy Greco have produced a guidebook for creating new and exciting corporate strategy. Examples include:

Strategies of corporations such as Nike and Proctor & Gamble
Insights of CEOs from Bill Hewlett to Ray Kroc
Wisdom of thought leaders from Warren Bennis to Robert Kaplan

Highly Recommended.......2004-09-08

Mastering Strategy provides a way for executives and managers, who have expertise in other fields, to think about organizational design and strategy. The "template" is logical and organizes the complex organizational setting into a group of manageable categories for the purposes of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and evaluating.

Mastering Strategy deals with the fundamentals that are essential to moving an organization forward regardless of the other tools and models that may be applied along the way.

If an executive or manager needs a fundamental framework to think about strategy or wants a tool to further the strategic efforts in an organization, Mastering Strategy is a good place to start.

Mastering Strategy an Answer to Textbook Selection Problem.......2004-02-10

After using a typical, traditional text for my grad class in Management and Strategy, I discovered Managing Strategy in Amazon. The book was an immediate hit with my students because of the way it distills concepts of strategy as presented in the typical textbook and relates them to the real world of organizations in a practical and readable fashion. I would highly recommend this work to students, faculty, and managers alike. The price is unbeatable and the buyer will have a source which can be used continually in the workplace. Perhaps this books sets a precedent for texts (although it is not the usual text) in other related fields. I would like to see such a format for organizational behavior and for leadership as well.

Strategic Process that Works.......2003-07-29

Mastering Strategy by Rigsby and Greco is a truly exceptional piece, which nicely blends academic thought with actionable lessons. The authors manage to superbly tie in insights from some of the world's greatest leaders and make it relevant to any industry or discipline. By managing to coalesce theories and strategies of the finest minds, they proffer forth an Organization Dynamic Model that organizes diverse and specialized disciplines into a workable and understandable framework. Read it, understand it, and most importantly, learn from it. A definite must read for anyone even cursorily involved in strategy formulation or strategic execution.

Great strategy model.......2003-05-29

This book does a great job of synthesizing the current state of business strategy thinking and introducing a model for practical application. I am using it in my business and having great success.

A Strategic Planner's Dream.......2003-03-08

At last - a straight-forward, practical book on a subject so vitally important in today's challenging business environment. For over 25years, I have been actively engaged in strategic planning, both as a business owner and a consultant and have read countless books on the subject. MASTERING STRATEGY is the most comprehensive and, at the same time, readable of them all. Rigsby and Greco have done a masterful job of identifying the best practices of the world's most successful companies, relating their performance to specific strategic success factors, and developing a strategic planning model based on their research. Moreover, they have tested their ideas in the glaring light of the marketplace through their consulting practices and, in so doing, have demonstrated the efficacy of their model. I strongly recommend this book to anyone in a position of responsibility - or aiming for such a position - in any business, whether small, large or gigantic, as well as to consultants whose focus is on helping their corporate clients improve profitability. Your money and your time will be well invested!

A friend of mine is a nail technician and running her own business. She was telling me today that she had been trying to find some samples of the book in japanese but it seems impossible.

It is nice that we finally have an updated book..........2005-08-21

I felt that the book was basically the same as the previous edition, with the exception of aromatherapy, and electric filing. Unfortionatly no one book can give all of the information that is required about a subject. That is what teaching is all about. I generally supplement the material from other books, and Florida law so our students stay on the right path. Over all I would have to say that this book was above average, and addressed many of the changes in the industry to date.

Good Intentions Gone Bad.......2003-04-02

I have taught for years and have been impressed by Milady's dedication to the Industry, until now. This new text book was headed in the right direction, with the addition of some fantastic photos for nail diseases, but it missed it's usual high standards drastically. The chapters, especially those most important to the foundation of education, such as sanitation issues and safety issues towards clients, fall far too short. A school is intended to give the basis of a long and safe career in this industry, yet this book irresponsibley dedicated more time to air brushing (which is difficult at best to learn via a book) then it did to the fundamentals of salon safety for both the tech and the client. I am very very disappointed. The chapters seem to be started off in the right direction, then are seemingly cut severly short. The book is choppy and incomplete at best. Sad to see such unprofessional results from a long time industry leader who has continually been the one who set the standards and raised the bar.

Book Description

Multiple criteria decision-making research has developed rapidly and has become a main area of research for dealing with complex decision problems which require the consideration of multiple objectives or criteria. Over the past twenty years, numerous multiple criterion decision methods have been developed which are able to solve such problems. However, the selection of an appropriate method to solve a particular decision problem is today's problem for a decision support researcher and decision-maker.
Intelligent Strategies for Meta Multiple Criteria Decision-Making deals centrally with the problem of the numerous MCDM methods that can be applied to a decision problem. The book refers to this as a `meta decision problem', and it is this problem that the book analyzes. The author provides two strategies to help the decision-makers select and design an appropriate approach to a complex decision problem. Either of these strategies can be designed into a decision support system itself. One strategy is to use machine learning to design an MCDM method. This is accomplished by applying intelligent techniques, namely neural networks as a structure for approximating functions and evolutionary algorithms as universal learning methods. The other strategy is based on solving the meta decision problem interactively by selecting or designing a method suitable to the specific problem, for example, the constructing of a method from building blocks. This strategy leads to a concept of MCDM networks. Examples of this approach for a decision support system explain the possibilities of applying the elaborated techniques and their mutual interplay. The techniques outlined in the book can be used by researchers, students, and industry practitioners to better model and select appropriate methods for solving complex, multi-objective decision problems.
