Book Description

This empowering study on human diversity helps readers develop the ability to understand, respect, and value diversity—i.e., raise their “diversity consciousness”—and demonstrates how opening one's mind to the views of other peoples and cultures is central for a quality education and successful career. Personalizing the learning experience by weaving a wide variety of real-life student experiences and perspectives throughout the book, it discusses topics in a style that promotes self-reflection and dialogue, and uses an approach to diversity that is balanced, comprehensive, well-integrated, and relevant to achieving one's life goals. KEY TOPICS Complete with self-reflective journal questions and interactive exercises, it offers thorough and current discussions on diversity and workplace issues—what they are, their significance, and their relevance to the reader; discusses concepts such as teamwork, conflict management, leadership, racism, prejudice, and communication in a clear and concise fashion; and zeroes in on the relationship between an employee's success in the workplace and his/her ability to develop flexibility in their thinking so that he/she can positively and effectively deal with a variety of diversity issues. A useful guide to raising diversity consciousness.

From a Sociology Instructor - excellent!.......2007-10-20

Richard Bucher has hit the proverbial nail on the head with this insightful, down-to-earth text. I am a humanities professor in a small junior college, where students have little chance to experience more than minimal diversity. This somewhat cloistered environment is a perfect spot for the wisdom and practicality of "Diversity Consciousness." The contents introduce, through case studies, team activities, and individual exercises, concepts of racism, discrimination, ethnocentrism, and other population characteristics capable of damaging personal as well as international relationships. Bucher's careful and logical exploration of the opportunities presented by a diverse culture are more than welcome in my classroom, any time!

Typical garbage.......2007-09-24

I read this for a promotional exam. The correct parts were common sense, and the incorrect parts were the typical hand wringing vomitus I'd expect from a guilt ridden member of the white intelligentsia. Very little in the way of practical information, but chock full of jargon!

A concise and challenging exploration of diversity.......2000-03-15

For several years I have been looking for a simple text to use with students to examine issues of diversity. This is it! Bucher presents in 7 short chapters an overview that includes a broad range of issues, balanced theory with practical application, useful and challenging activities. I plan to use this not only with my sociology students but also with human resource personnel who are trying to be more effective managers of diversity. Good work!

Book Description

In this conversation with his co-author, Paul Gillette, Dr. Jandt tells you how to use the same negotiating techniques and tactics used by people whose job is managing conflict--labor negotiators, diplomats and corporate managers. Get what you want and win allies, with ``win-win'' negotiating techniques. Here are the same methods used by people whose jobs are managing conflict--labor negotiators, diplomats, and top corporate managers--and how to put them to work for you in everyday business situations.

Successful Negotiating.......2006-12-21

Fred Jandt wrote an interesting and insightful book on achieving win-win negotiations. Negotiation involves getting people who both have common and conflicting goals to be able to present and discuss issues and reach an agreement acceptable to all parties.

The author clearly explains the negotiating process, highlighting the need to prepare and plan, being clear about the ground rules, justifying issues on the negotiating table, bargaining and resolving conflicts as well as closure and implementation.

Conflict situations abound in our work and personal lives. At work, there are often conflicts between managers and workers, between companies and their suppliers and customers, among peers, etc and all these can be resolved through effective negotiations. Managers negotiate with peers and bosses, sales people negotiate with customers, buyers in organizations negotiate with suppliers and spouses negotiate on how to spend money. Hence, it is critical to learn the art of negotiating so that conflicts do not escalate into full scale battles which benefit neither party.

In negotiations, you need to know when to change your tactics depending on the situation. There are times when you have to focus on interests and times when you need to focus on positions, sometimes you need to focus on transactions and other times on relationships. The trick is to know when to do what to be successful at negotiations.

The book did a very nice job of laying out the necessary skills as well as giving you the tools you need to be successful at negotiation. This is an excellent book that is essential reading for all managers who need to learn the techniques, strategies and practices of effective negotiations.

Negotiate the life is like an ever changing chess game! .......2005-09-25

The adventure of just living obligates us to act and react in order to maintain a minimum stress level. To face world in constant evolution and improvement in so many areas makes you consider the negotiation ability as fundamental device in your mental map.

We live in hard times, in which the concept of authority by itself is unable to resolve conflicts that concern disagreements of several levels, small, medium or big ones, that can affect the whole competitiveness inside your organization with your internal clients (employers) or outer clients (customers, suppliers, State issues, taxes) in which the concepts of urgency, priority, efficiency, efficacy, quality and productivity may suffer serious back strokes and undesirable delays due those little and insignificant details. You should not forget there are many things we use to forget because we consider them impossible to happen.

But the reality overpasses by far, the best team of Strategic Planes you may have under determined stages. To react fast and appropriately, making use of this unerring mechanism of persistent solvency, will save us many problems around your social, professional and even affective environment.

Gaining power by learning how to negotiate........1997-08-06

This book has given me a lot of new ideas in how to handle all kinds of conflict. I work in a corporate office and a lot of the authors ideas are easily applicable in every day office life. I found the book very easy to read, I finished it in a couple of days.

Customer Reviews:

Dates of some reviews?!?.......2000-09-26

Seems like this book was published on May 2000. How were some of these reviews made before that date?...

the only book i want to read twice in e-commerce.......2000-07-11

The book was very helpful for me to understand b2b e-coomerce and gave me great ideas, with which I could make business plans. The book use 8 cases to explain business models and marketing strategies related in b2b e-commerce. And I think that I can use the models and marketing strategies in Korean e-commerce market.

One of the first books written on B2B.......2000-07-06

Very academic book. It has some good content, but it lacks appropriate implmentation experience to round the content of the book. It gets boring at times. I have no doubts that future books on the topic will be far superior

B-2-B or not to be, that is the question.......2000-03-18

Business to business e-commerce is a revolution because of the profound impact it has on the way businesses are run.

Very few publications deal with case studies in both Europe and America. For that reason Paul Timmers' book "Electronic Commerce, Strategies and Models for Business-to-Business Trading" is a valuable contribution to all of those who want to analyse the business-to-business developments in both Europe and America.

When you read this book you are convinced that, re-phrasing Shakespeare, "B-2-B or not to be that is the question".

At the right time with the right quality.......2000-01-06

This book is a very good and systematic guide from key and succesful B-B stories, to generic business models, to global marketing and branding, to technical guidance and finally to business-business vision. A-must have book for managers and practicioners of B-B commerce at the right time with the right quality.
