Excellent book on learning stratagies.......2000-03-29

I loved this book! It goes into great detail about how to study effectively. It covers multiple choice, true/false, and essay questions and gives you great clues on how to answer these questions correctly, i.e., see through some of the tricks professors use to fool you! The best part of this book was the practice tests. It provides a practice civil service test, a practice standardized test, and a pracice classroom test which allows you to interact and apply what you have learned (and it provides the answers). The tests cover recall, math, language mechanics, reading comprehension, grammar, spelling, judgement, etc. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to have an upper hand in test taking! I especially liked the book because I will be returning to school after an eight year absence and feel a little nervous about it. Now I feel like I have some tools to help me get those As!

Book Description

Written for non-experts in jargon-free language, this work shows how to create systems within organizations that preempt the monetary, strategic, and emotional costs associated with on-the-job conflict. Its clear and simple approach translates advanced concepts into practical how-tos and provides readers with four guiding principles they can follow to create conflict control systems of their own. Amply illustrated with real-world examples, it details the policies, procedures, and practices that make for successful control systems and tells precisely how to implement them.

Using collaboration to meet the challenge of conflicts........1999-03-02

This work offers an approach to controlling costs through building collaborative strength for prevention and early intervention. The authors show that there are four basic approaches, each appropriate in given circumstances, but only one-collaboration-that holds the potential of win-win outcomes. However, most organizations over-use approaches that employ avoidance, authority and power, which tend to prove costly, rather than develop and employ systems that promote collaborative resolution and end conflicts from escalating into expensive disputes. The authors take a highly realistic approach to their subject. The book is rich in substantive ideas and method. It provides detailed guidelines for building a system and applying the principles the authors champion. An excellent contribution, worthy of your attention.

Worth reading...if you are seeking alternative & innovative approaches to strategic planning!.......2006-07-21

In the marketplace, there are many many books on creative & innovative thinking for business people.
Likewise, there are also many many books on strategic thinking & planning. However, it is hard to find a single book
that covers both creative & innovative thinking, strategic thinking & planning for business people. To be more precise, a book that integrates
both subjective & objective techniques of thinking & planning in a business setting.

I have had this wonderful book towards the tail end of my corporate career in the late 80's/early 90's. I was then in general management
& naturally I was attracted to the book in the light of my own prior exposure to traditional strategic planning work.

According to the author, high-performing companies start with three premises:

1 STRATEGY development is a CREATIVE process;
2 PLANNING must result in ACTION;
3 IMAGINATION starts at the top i.e. top management must set the example for all those down the line!;

& their successful CEOs have these platinum characteristics:

- they are industry savants;
- they are imaginative thinkers;
- they are astute decision makers;
- they are superior strategists;
- they are masterful motivators;

Within the above framework, & using vivid illustrations, numerous case histories & apt quotations,
the author had very artfully merged the concepts of corporate strategy, strategic thinking, & organisational change management
with creativity & imagination. Best of all, he had also given it a masterful twist of action-orientation.

The author's Creative Planning model has only five steps to translating innovative strategies into action.
Comparatively, this is definitely a refreshing perspective (at least for me at the time when I read the book).

In a nutshell, these are the chapters of the book which will give readers an overview of the imaginative &
analytical approaches as encapsulated in the above model:

Introduction: The Creative Planning Process

Part I: Imaginative Strategic Thinking
Developing Strategic Insights
Taking Creative Leaps
Making Strategic Connections
Building Strategic Concepts

Part II: Make It Happen
Strategic Decision Making
Formulating Strategy
Enthusiastic Implementation
Leading Creative Teams

Part III: Insightful Strategic Analysis
Profitability Improvement
Market Positioning
Creating the Competitive Difference
Technology Mapping
Reinventing Operations
Leveraging the Organization

Part IV: Corporate Restructuring
Creative Corporate Planning
Acquisition Bargains, Divestiture Coups
From Turnaround to Takeoff

Conclusion: How and When to Start

To sum up my review, I enthusiastically recommend this book for managers who are seeking alternative & innovative approaches to strategic planning.
[To my surprise, I have recently managed to locate a business book that combines both creative & analytical approaches to strategic management. It's titled 'Out of Context: A Creative Approach Management' by Cynthis Weick. I will review it the moment I have received it from amazon & perused it.]

Creative approaches to strategic planning.......2003-02-13

The book review I read in Industry Week magazine said that "James Bandrowski's system emphasizes action that helps companies beat their competition." I wholeheartedly agree with that endorsement. I found the five-step creative planning process easy to use yet very effective for encouraging innovative, market-focused thinking and planning. I recommend this book to all business leaders who want to increase momentum in their businesses.

Typical Chomsky........2006-06-06

Typical Chomsky; too general and vague to be thought provoking. His usual template, elite vs. populace, is applied to everything. There is no frame of reference nor explaining the dynamics of the situation. His references are nill. If people want to educate themselves on a particular topic, read material that is complete and indepth.

the truth doesnt hurt, it kills.......2006-05-03

he never fails to amaze me. chomskey is the middle-man between near-unobtainable knowledge and the interested public. Anyone who wants to really know the truth and not just a bunch of impartial, unjustified and most often distorted lies, pick up a chomskey book and read.

Thomas Jefferson's fears realized..........2004-09-28

This is an interesting pamphlet of interviews by David Barsamian with Noam Chomsky, which covers a wide collection of topics from defective democracy, health care, religious fundamentalism, the CIA and the media.

The central thrust of these interviews focuses on the corporatization of our democratic system. In one interview, Chomsky cites Thomas Jefferson's warning or fear, made at the end of his life, stating, that, the elites, aristocrats, "fear and distrust of the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes." Democrats on the other hand, "identify with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise, depository of the public interest." What Jefferson was saying is that the people should have the reigns of power; we should be in control, and not the centralized, powerful elites. Jefferson's greatest fear was the "banking institutions and monied incorporations" (big business) and if they were allowed to influence politics, they would eventually run the entire show, benefiting the few at the exclusion of the majority. It is here, throughout this text, that Chomsky offers several examples how corporate America and big business internationally, influence our democratic system where, economically the "little guy' suffers while big business gets bigger as our basic wages plummet. In other terms, the rich get richer, the gap between rich and poor widens and only the few benefit.

One has only to look at the statistical indicators of countries around the world, comparing rich and poor sovereign states to see that nothing is changing for the better in developing countries but steadily getting worse, while the small percentage of rich countries, ironically exploiting these poorer countries, are improving their wealth. The gap is widening, particularly over the past thirty years, doubling the wealth in the top twenty percent, while the low twenty percent has become much poorer. These statistics speak for themselves, and there are reasons for this dramatic shift in wealth.

Politicians' incestuous connection to the corporate sector is well documented. Tax breaks for the rich, while the man or woman on basic wages supporting a family can pay, in some cases, more tax than a CEO. Our politicians for the obvious reasons protect the corporate sector: campaign contributions, personal investment, etc. Jefferson's fear and warning in the early 19th century against banking institutions and monied corporations involvement in politics has been realized.

Chomsky, in most cases, backs his arguments with statistical data and historical documentation that can be researched and checked by any interested individual. His words are never rhetorical, ad hominem arguments or self-righteous condemnations to push a personal agenda. He speaks about fact, revealing injustice and at times crimes against the common citizen that should not be ignored. This little book is a good starting point for further research into economic and international affairs.

Good Illustration of a Famous Guy's Perspectives.......2002-11-24

I disagree with Chomsky on many fronts to the point of irritation, finding that his research appears to consist primarily of what he reads (e.g., without talking to people more in the know), his opinions are slanted towards the most negative/conspiracy theory perspective (e.g., his interpretation on p. 56 that Clinton's encouragement of people to go to church is "...straightforward. If people devote themselves to activities that are out of the public arena, then we folks in power will be able to run things the way we want"), and he generally complains without recognizing the full picture (for instance, his prediction on p. 20 that Alabama's offering tax breaks to Daimler Benz would have negative consequences for most of its citizens, despite more recent aftermath reports that Alabama significantly benefitted) or offering a better alternative. But this book is a good readable summary of some of his views, and he does have a few good points (such as, how people are distracted from participating in democracy--though Chomsky misses the extent to which less intellectual people are not interested in participating--and the extent to which people need to organize to get political power (though the list of organizations at the conclusion of the book is wide-ranging, and emphasis is placed upon the groups' stated missions without recognition of their tactics, some of which are highly questionable).

Informative.......2001-04-23

This book gives a LOT of information at a very understandable writing level. A lot is talked about the US's involvement with other nations and, how it also helped the nazi's and other things like that. It's very interesting. Somethings were talked about more than others though, and not completely explained, but for the most part, it's pretty well explained.

Book Description

The Real Story Series is based on a simple idea--political books don't have to be boring. Short, well-written and to the point, Real Story books are meant to be read.

In these fact-filled, illusion-shattering masterpieces, the man the "New York Times" called "arguably the most important intellectual alive," explains why "what the public wants is called 'politically unrealistic.' Translated into English, that means power and privilege are opposed to it."

Normally somewhat difficult to read, Chomsky is at his most accessible in his speeches and interviews, and that's what these books are compiled from. Here are some examples of what he has to tell you:

In 1970, about 90% of international capital was used for trade and long-term investment-more or less productive things--and 10% reserved for speculation. By 1990, those figures were reversed.

Haiti, a starving island, is exporting food to the U.S.--about 35 times as much under Clinton as under Bush.

The gap between how much income is held by the richest and poorest 20? has increased dramatically over the past 30 years--about double for rich vs. poor countries and far more for rich vs. poor people.

Towards greater inequalities.......2007-04-15

This trilogy gives a fair view of N. Chomsky's clinical vision on the US and the world.

He rightly sees the US as a business-run society, where the political parties reflect the interests of big corporations. The main aim of those corporations is higher market share and profits, not job creation or a better life for workers. An important factor in business profitability is the Pentagon and its military budget.
The powerful, the owners of those corporations, don't want to be subjected to democracy. They want an obedient, passive population of consumers and political spectators. This policy is successfully implemented through control of the media (`the general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't know that it doesn't know').
The aim of US foreign policy was not to impose a democracy or respect for human rights or to increase living standards (a cardinal factor for the control of demographic tendencies). On the contrary, the US consistently opposed democracy if the results couldn't be controlled. Through covert (intelligence agencies) or military intervention the US (tried to) crush independent and popular forces that might bring about meaningful democracy (for those in power, `a virus' that would infect other countries and regions). Chomsky mentions interventions in Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Chili, Panama, Grenada, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Iraq, Iran, Yugoslavia, Greece and Italy.
In the US and worldwide, he sees considerable increases in inequality. In the US, real wages are declining since the 1960s and working conditions are worsening.

However, this book contains also some inaccuracies. N. Chomsky underestimated the democratic importance of internet and also its business impact (skilled information workers don't have to emigrate). He thought that biotechnology and genetic engineering would become the major investment focuses of the future, not military expenditures (today 50 % of the total US budget).
His analysis of the oil price hike in the 1970s is not correct (see W. Engdahl) and the main aim of speculative capital is quick gains (results are published every three months).

It is evident that in three small books one cannot fully evaluate international institutions or dismember philosophical problems. For criticism of GATT, IMF and World Bank I recommend the books of J. Stiglitz, and for a study of human nature and the roots of racism the works of R. Dawkins.

Ultimately, what can ordinary people do in order to influence the political process: first of all, vote (elections matter), also demonstrate (cause of the end of the Vietnam War) and divulge your opinion.

These books are written by a superbly free mind. We need Chomsky's voice. Highly recommended.

Thoughtful short work.......2002-07-30

more of a compendium of short interviews than indepth analysis but once again provides some thought provoking ideas for anyone interested in the world around them and if your're not, WHY NOT?

short interesting books on foreign policy and trade.......2002-06-09

The chomsky trilogy consists or three books from chomsky. They cover issues that really brought out by the media. They focus on U.S. foreign policy that many people may not be aware of it like nicauraga and hati. He deals with how coporations and strong anti-communist feeling influenced the policy. In addition, the books cover trade agreements like NAFTA and GATT and how they are influenced by corporations and turning parts of the industrialized world into the third world.

Some Good Points.......2002-04-24

In Chomsky's democracy, there is no passive citizens. Everyone will have to think and participate. And if you think about the some of the statements in this book, you begin to wonder. It's a good start when you embark on seriously reflecting on the nature of the world around us.

On the other hand, the reader whould do well to, as the first exercise, think about some of the things said in the book. For example, on p.99, it was mentioned by on of the questioners that "The United Sates, with 5% of the world's population, consumes 40% of the world's resources...." At the same time, on p.38, the author laments that "Real wages has been declining since the 1960's" in talking about the Third-Worldization of America. Does anyone not suspect that if Americans are any richer than they are now, they would not consume merely 40%, but maybe 50%, 60% or more, of the world's resources? Is it not implicit in the author's lament his horror at the thought of living a style not on the same level as the United States, when in fact, these other countries are living a more ecological balanced life? Yes, counter the defenders, but, it's possible for us to make more money and consume less. Really? What is the motivation to make money but to consume. And is it feasible at all that economic growth, the only source of wage growth, can be achieved without using up some resources of the world? A society where there is no farmer, no hunter but everyone is a lecturer, who does not pollute air, does not cut down trees, does not kill animals for food, does not exist.

In "Media Control", the same author talked about "manufacturing consent" and having "to turn to the technique of propaganda" by the government, as early as the Creel Commission to Americans to go in to World War I. In another breath, he writes in p.36 of this book, "the media contribute to the sense that the government is the enemy and they suppress the sources of real power in the society, which lie in the totalitarian institutions - the corporations, now international in scale - that control the economy and much of our social life." How is that possible? Did the Big Brother slip somewhere for the "controlled" media to attack it's own master?

Nevertheless, Chomsky is right to think that there is "a lot of power behind" the theory put forth by Thomas Ferguson, who believes that "the state is controlled by coalitions of investors who join together around some common interests." So, he is against Big Business. But, somewhat he is not against Big Government, for he thinks it's OK that the health care be in the hand of the government, for example.

He is only against the government when it comes to foreign policies. And here he is at his most consistent, as he describes one event after another, from the softball plants in Haiti, to Nicaragua, German POW's, Chile and Russia.

THE US POLICY OF AGGRESSION UNCOVERED!.......2002-01-20

In the past, the US was loved and respected in the world for symbolysing freedom, democracy and justice and for its educational humanitarian missions in many countries.

Regretfully, since WW2 it is increasingly identified with a foreign policy of domination, military aggresion, and glaringly immoral/unfair double standards particularly in the Middle East where its direct or indirect(through Israel) victims have been the Palestinian, Lebanese and Iraqi people.

Book Description

This study shows how myths construct and express the social identities of a community. Focusing on Rajasthan, it describes how myths here mostly centre around the theme of violence and its rejection. The social persona of the trading groups are created around this and hence issues of violence and its control emerge as the symbolic key to trader social identity in this cultural context.

Analyzing what myths have to say about traders, the author examines the nature of caste in general, as well as the specific place of trading castes in Indian society. Moreover he looks at the problems of the social identity of traders. By studying myths, the book shows how Indian trading groups have dealt with these problems by using symbolic material provided by their specific social and cultural milieu.

Finally the author looks at the role of myth itself as a repository of socially important knowledge.

Jam-Packed!.......2002-09-04

Whether you're new in sales or a seasoned veteran, this book is a treasure. The publisher had to use smaller print just to fit it all in! It's amazing how much information is here-the traditional stuff that you find in most sales books, plus a lot more. And it's all focused on helping you make the sale; the title of Part VII is You Must Close the Sale in Order to Go to the Bank. The message can't be any more clear!

Let's start at the beginning. There are three sections at the start of the book that caught my attention right away. You know there's something special going on when you see sections titled "Why You Need This Book," "Why You Will Love This Book," and "Why an Intelligent, Sophisticated Person Like You Will Appreciate a Simple Book Like This." Simple book? In the fundamental principles that are presented, yes. In the depth and strength of the material, I wouldn't call this book simple. Sales professionals will spend extra time with each section to draw out all the value for themselves. It's just that kind of a book . . . the kind of tool that can be used for reference as well as straight-on learning.

Stewart starts his substance with Position Yourself for Success presented in six chapters. The last chapter of the section is focused on closing. Part II: Develop Rapport and Build Relationships of Trust and Confidence: four chapters ending with emphasis on closing more sales. Continue through sections on pre-call planning, prospect involvement, discovery, presentations, and handling objections. Want more? A good resource section and an index complement the powerful content.

If you want to close sales, not just make sales calls, make friends with this book. Renowned sales trainer Mike Stewart has stuffed all of his seminar material into 250 pages for you to absorb and apply for higher achievement.

Every salesperson needs this book.......2001-02-20

In one form or another, every one of us is selling--ideas, services, products, maybe a combination of those three. If you want to read a book that presents, in simple language, the contemporary approach to selling, then I recommend CLOSE MORE SALES. The author: Mike Stewart, an international speaker, professional sales trainer and consultant, based in Atlanta.

Far from being an armchair advisor, Mike Stewart spent many years learning salesmanship as a professional sales person. Additionally, he works with a variety of clients, training their sales professionals.

In the preface, he laments that "Almost never are effective selling skills being taught." With this book, he addresses that problem. The book has the approval of the American Management Association, his publisher. I recommend that you get a copy. . .and close more sales.

He tells it like it really is.

This book is a must read for any sales professional that wants to close more sales and grow their business.

Mike is a seasoned sales veteran that shares his keen insights with you in this book.

I am currently following his advice.......2007-08-08

This book opened my eyes. It seems that everything he says is common sense, but the way he taught it really inspired me. After reading his book I decided to stop being an employee and move to the self-employed quadrant. I started my own corporation and I now have enough money to start investing in Real Estate following another of his books. I highly recommend this book to everybody.

Very Informative And A Highly Recommended Reading For EVERYONE.......2007-08-08

This one book from Robert T. Kiyosaki really opened my mind and eyes, I will have to read it again & yet again to really get a complete understanding of the Information he has in this book, And anyone that says reading it once is enough, READ It again and you will be surprised at what pops up out of the pages as do read this book. So If you are truely tired of the old RAT RACE and feel there is got to be a better way then read this book.

Uri Gofman's review of Cashflow Quadrant.......2007-07-30

From the supplier: Federal and state income taxes of small businesses can be minimized through the use of a linear optimizing model. Based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the model applies to Subchapter S Corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and sole proprietorships. Taxes are computed based on a company's cash flow budget. Small business failures due to poor financial management and overtaxation can thus be reduced.
