            4 out of 5 stars A good reference on Benchmarking.......2004-04-21

            This book can certainly satisfy most readers' appetite for knowing and applying Benchmarking in various industries and companies of all sizes. Good coverage and fluent writing on benefits, difficulties and processes, but not sufficient practical and updated examples, I am afraid. However, I still recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the topic.

            p.s. Like TQM, the success of it lies in the committment of top management. What a pity that the author wrote relatively little in how to convince top management of such through long term successes in those practitioners. On hindsight, Xerox and Motorola may seem counter example in this respect.

            4 out of 5 stars This book is a must for the beginner........2000-04-23

            After completely read this book, it will give you clear for the beginning of Benchmarking from where it is, what it is and how it can be used. This book will play a significant role to the newcomers who now want to access to the field of Benchmarking. Not only does Benchmarking provide the obvious pros and cons in your organization, but it also gives us to efficiently pave the way to the highly competitive business. Nowadays If we first know what and how we are striving to the survival, Benchmarking is the reasonable solution. When added 20 Steps prepared by H.J. Harrington, It will be the kernel of Benchmarking without hesitation

                The revision of this highly regarded, authoritative text continues to build upon the strengths of past editions, including thorough, in-depth coverage and strong, comprehensive cases. Both authors are respected scholars; the senior author is considered one of the pioneers in the field of business, government, and society. The text examines the changing interrelationships between business, government, and society, and how these changes affect the attitudes, duties, and decisions of managers, particularly those in larger corporations. In the eighth edition three new shorter chapter-opening cases have been added and six of the 22 chapter-ending cases are new. Case studies retained from the previous edition have been updated to reflect the most current information available. All chapters have been brought up to date and several have been substantially restructured. International dimensions of the subject matter have been given much greater prominence.

                            Book Description

                            Charles Kindleberger's World Economic Primacy: 1500-1990 is a work of rare ambition and scope from one of our most respected economic historians. Extending over broad ranges of both history and geography, the work considers what it is that enables countries to achieve, at some period in their history, economic superiority over other countries, and what it is that makes them decline. Kindleberger begins with the Italian city-states in the fourteenth century, and traces the changing evolution of world economic primacy as it moves to Portugal and Spain, to the Low countries, to Great Britain, and to the United States, addressing the question of alleged U.S. decline. Additional chapters treat France as a perennial challenger, Germany which has twice aggressively sought superiority, and Japan, which may or may not become a candidate for the role of "number one." Kindleberger suggests that the economic vitality of a given country goes through a trajectory that can usefully (thought not precisely) be compared to a human life cycle. Like human beings, the growth of a state can be cut off by accident or catastrophe short of old age; unlike human beings, however, economies can have a second birth. In World Economic Primacy, Kindleberger takes into account the influence of complex historical, social, and cultural factors that determine economic leadership. A brilliant overview of the position of nations in the world economy, World Economic Primacy conveys profound insights into the causes of the rise and decline of the world's economic powers, past and present.

                            5 out of 5 stars Tour-de-force........2002-12-09

                            In this small book, Charles Kindleberger succeeds in giving us an insight why and which countries got and lost the world economic primacy : the Italian city-states (Venice, Florence, Genoa, Milan), Portugal and Spain, the Low Countries, Great-Britain, the US.
                            His main sources are F. Braudel, I. Wallerstein and M. Olson.

                            This book is a short but eminent course in economic history, from which we can learn a lot for our actual economic policies (e.g. the causes for decline).
                            The external causes are wars, and new discoveries (gold) and inventions in other countries.
                            The internal causes are risk aversion, increased consumption, decreased savings, reduced gains in productivity, decline in innovation, resistance to taxation, mounting debt, rent-seeking, speculative bubbles, gambling, corruption, increasing governmental and corporate bureaucracy, unwillingness to adapt to change. (p. 215-7)

                            A must for every economist and also for the layman.

                            5 out of 5 stars From a brilliant economic historian..........1998-10-18

                            ... one likely to be unappreciated in his time.

                            Seldom do the social sciences permit such an overarching treatise on what has been the greatest and, at the same time, most tragic four centuries in (in)human history.

                            Mr. Kindleberger captures the essence of the "age of acquisitors" in an unprecedented manner. Hats off to Professor Kindleberger.

                                  Over the past two decades, the service sector have increased dramatically and now occupy the largest share of the economy of advanced industrial societies. Certain business services are regularly cited as evidence for the emergence of a "knowledge economy." In this pioneering book, leading researchers in the fields of service industries and innovation studies investigate the reasons for the growth of the service sectors and this emergent knowledge economy. Drawing on material as diverse as macroeconomic statistics and firm-level case studies, the contributors demonstrate that services are often important innovators in their own right, as well as contributing to innovation and economic performance in their user industries. The question of how far services are special cases, and what specific processes and trajectories characterize their innovative activity is treated systematically. Additionally, a variety of original analyses and information resources are presented. This book should be of value to the studentof the modern industrial society, to those seeking to forge policies appropriate to the new context of economic development, and to researchers who are confronting the challenges of the knowledge economy.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Solid practical advice.......2000-12-16

                                      This book has great advice for new managers that can also be used by anyone working in an organization. Experienced managers will want to have it on their desks (as I do) to remind them of why it's important to start meetings on time, how to deal with office politics, putting people first--all 25 are gems. It also would have been great when I was starting out to help me recognize why some managers were so great to work for. A great gift!

                                      5 out of 5 stars Great motivational guide.......2000-11-02

                                      I really liked this book. The 25 Indispensible Rules is a great guide for a new manager. Each rule is only a page or two long, is written simply without a lot of management jargon, and is kind of inspiring. I plan to keep it on my desk to motivate and remind me when things start to get a little overwhelming. I highly recommend it. All companies should give this to all their new managers.
