Book Description

Opportunity missed . . .

No corporation in the world was better placed to drive the development of the Internet in its infancy than AT&T and IBM.

Yet these icons of industrial excellence, blinded by success that limited their vision, refused to get in at the birth of the dominant medium of the 21st Century, referring to stick to their traditional paths.

Tangled Up In The Past tells the story of that opportunity missed . . . and the billion-collar consequences still reverberating in today's headlines.

And because only a Luddite would think the flow of opportunities has stopped, the lessons for today's corporate leaders continue to be inescapably essential.

Tangled Up In The Past brings to life a compelling theme:

In a fast-changing world, it is never enough to concentrate only on your core competencies. Rather, leaders need to exercise a constant, rigorous peripheral vision, searching for possibilities beyond today's focus. For the only future we can rely on is the one we make.

For people who are thoughtful about business strategy and hungry to put to use those small blocks of time everyone has - on a commute, in an airplane, just prior to sleep - this is An Hour's Good Read

Book Description

About 55 million Europeans migrated to the New World between 1850 and 1914, landing in North and South America and in Australia. This mass migration marked a profound shift in the distribution of global population and economic activity. In this book, Timothy J. Hatton and Jeffrey G. Williamson describe the migration and analyze its causes and effects. Their study offers a comprehensive treatment of a vital period in the modern economic development of the Western world. Moreover, it explores questions that we still debate today: Why does a nation's emigration rate typically rise with early industrialization? How do immigrants choose their destinations? Are international labor markets segmented? Do immigrants "rob" jobs from locals? What impact do migrants have on living standards in the host and sending countries? Did mass migration make an important contribution to the catching-up of poor countries on rich? Did it create a globalization backlash? This work takes a new view of mass migration. Although often bold and controversial in method, it is the first to assign an explicitly economic interpretation to this important social phenomenon. The Age of Mass Migration will be useful to all students of migration, and to anyone interested in economic growth and globalization.

Historic Contribution to Media History

THE SPONSOR - NOTES ON A MODERN POTENTATE

Product Description

"This book traces the rise to power of one of the most important elements in our society and describes how that pwoer has been used... an immensely valuable work." Lawrence Laurent, Radio-TV Editor, The Washington Post, from inside jacket.

Customer Reviews:

Historic Contribution to Media History.......2007-09-16

Chronologically the beginning is a good place to start and Barnouw starts with KDKA, Pittsburgh, the nation's first radio station. From this point the entire telecommunications system branched out, grew, made moderations and exploded into the information age.

Tidbits on what were important issues of the time are humorous in retrospect. For example, at WEAF in New York there was discussion on whether something so personal as toothpaste should be advertised over the public airwaves. Critics such as Edgar Felix argued that "direct advertis(ing)" itself was resented by the public. As commercialization increased, the behind-the-scenes decision makers gained more control over the system. "Many programs were advertising agency creations, designed to fulfill specific sponsor objectives," Barnouw tells us.

PSAs (Public Service Announcements) followed campaigns designed to support the military in World War II. As the decades rolled on and power was concentrated in the networks, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust suit against the ABC, CBS, and NBC which charged them with monopolizing prime time entertainment. Television news began as 15 minute segments and was expanded to 30 minutes in 1963.

This book is informative and well-written. It explains how the foundations of the modern information society came about.

Book Description

The international dimension of business networks has remained relatively unexplored, mainly because international business writers focus upon multinational enterprises and network writers ignore international issues. In this book Professors Alan Rugman and Joseph D'Cruz bridge the literature on networks and multinationals by introducing the new concept of the flagship firm. In each business network strategic leadership is provided by the flagship firm, which is defined as a multinational enterprise. It has other partners: key suppliers; key customers; key competitors; and key partners in the non-business infrastructure. These business networks are usually located in the 'triad' regions of the European Union, North America, and Japan. There are strong cross-border network linkages within these regions, but less globalization than regional economic integration. The theory of the flagship firm/five partners model is applied to the telecommunications, chemicals, automotive, and electronics sectors, amongst others, and the book reports on both empirical studies and field research of the international competitiveness of these sectors. The book will be of interest to academics, students, and professionals in the areas of international business, strategic management, political science, law, and sociology.

Book Description

Information technology (IT) presents many challenges to managers. Constant change, e-business, massive amounts of information, global operations, and building new alliances and capabilities are just some the transformations being driven by the use of IT in business today. No modern manager can afford to ignore IT or leave it to the professionals. This book tackles the tough issues of managing in an environment where IT is everywhere.

Based on the real life experiences of senior IT managers in leading- edge businesses and incorporating thorough research, Making IT Happen separates fact from fad, shows where managers can make a real difference, and provides useful and practical advice for coping in the fast-paced world of IT.

"This is the first real handbook of IT management. It's well-grounded, reliable in its recommendations, sensible, comprehensive and useful. Those are all compliments; they are what we need in the post dot.com era and after all the transformation-is-now-and-real-easy hype of IT. This is a book about putting IT to work." Peter Keen, Chairman of Keen Innovations and Professor at Delft University

"This book provides a template - targeted at the executive level - of the technology and organizational issues that need to be dealt with and well-grounded means (decision structures and decision processes) for handling these issues. A particular, and very unique, strength of the book is the manner in which McKeen and Smith skilfully blend and leverage the best thinking of leading scholars and successful IT executives. As a consequence, the book should prove valuable both for IT executives confronting today's IT management challenges and for scholars seeking to better understand this dynamic and elusive context." Robert Zmud, Michael F. Price Chair of MIS, University of Oklahoma, and Research Director, Advanced Practices Council of SIM, International

"Jim McKeen and Heather Smith have captured the essence of the most challenging pursuit of modern civilization - designing and building advanced information systems. Some believe that we are entering a new era of pervasive computing blurred with advanced networks, which delivers unprecedented and untold opportunities and capability. This book addresses the challenges with outstanding insight and wisdom. It is a must read for every person who is involved in information systems and technology - from CIOs right through to students thinking of entering this profession." Eugene Roman, Chief Information & Technology Officer, Bell Canada
