Customer Reviews:
The Career Fitness Program.......2007-03-31
I expected more from the text, based on the title. The material seems to reflect the job market of 10 years ago - little reference to what's happening in the industry today that job seekers need to know. The text places heavy emphasis on the self-concept and values which are important, but skills the person has and how they relate to positions in the workplace are of utmost importance. An individual may have interest in a career field, but it could be one that's fading not emerging. I was expecting a book that would allow the reader to insert new ideas and new strategies right into a job search. The book may suffice as a supplemental reading, but not as a tutorial on establishing a career and finding a job. It lacks vision. I felt it was analog thinking in a digital world.
Book Description
This best-selling book helps readers choose, change, or confirm career choices. It is firmly focused on today's career realities and the economy, encouraging change and growth for people of all ages, and from all backgrounds and circumstances. Every section is filled with positive yet practical discussions and real-life examples of resources and techniques. Following the standard sequence of career search and decision-making issues—Self-Assessment, the Job Market, Decision-Making, and the Job Search—this book emphasizes the importance of attitude in the process, showing readers how to weave individual concepts and techniques into personalized, doable, take-action plans. An excellent resource for anyone seeking employment, changing careers, or deciding upon career options; as well as job-placement professionals.

A "must-get" book in the career and job field, a "classic" to be compared with WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE.
A guide for those seeking career decision-making guidance........1998-12-04
This is a book I use as an instructor but has many uses for the general reader as well. From making a decision and creating goals to resume how-to's, this is a helpful guide for those who may want a well-rounded view of career planning. What also makes this book "well-rounded" is its focus on theory. Very applicable for those who are going through a change of career or choosing a major in college.

Customer Reviews:
just perfect!!.......2001-06-15
strategies for the competitive world with the help of well written cases about the most famous companies in the global world. This book is just perfect. You will deal the problems from the CEO's perspective. good luck and have fun.
An Up-to-date Book on Strategic Management.......2001-03-04
As commented by other reviewers, the book is indeed wordy. However, its usefulness and value lies in the illustrative examples and Illustration Capsules. The basic principles of strategic management may be simple but its intrepretation and application in different circumstances make strategic management a critical thinking topic. This accounts to a good extent for the length of the book as Thompson & Strickland have included in the book numerous illustrative examples on the application of the concepts of strategic management in practical situations. The 12th edition also introduced two whole new chapters which addresses globalisation and the internet world. Further, nearly all the case studies in the book have been either replaced or up-dated. In fact, the 'up-to-dating' of the book, barely 2 years after the 11th edition hit the market clearly shows the changes in the business world which has merited the issue of the 12th edition. What would have been good would be chapter on Strategies in Managing Change & Transition as any programme in strategic management invariably has to address issue of change in organisations. A very good text on Strategic Management.
Extremely Wordy.......2000-11-05
I found the book to be extremely wordy. As I read the book, I found myself having to remind myself what the chapter (or topic) was suppose to be covering. Many of the statements in the book are common sense and points are repeated over and over through-out the text. The books is loaded with long list consisting of from 4-12 items. The list appear to be attempts by the authors to include every possible idea they could think of. My Professor used the questions from the test bank and many of the answers were buried in the readings. The cases studies were interesting, and the information on the website helps with the case analysis. Although after reading one of the chapters, any reading was interesting. Reading this book became a chore. If the book is required for class, start reading now because the way the book is written will make you procrastinate.
I can't believe they are selling this book!.......2000-06-17
I found this book incredibly boring and redundant. I am suprised that this book has survived 11 editions. Thomas and Strickland don't you read the reviews? Not worth my money!
One of my all time favorite business books.......2000-06-11
This book was the text for my college strategic management class, and it was one of my favorite text books (and classes.) Many of my classmates also liked this it. The case studies were very interesting, and the book gave insight into successes and failures of well known and not so well known companies. It may be somewhat wordy, but it's packed with useful information and analysis.

Structured around a traditional analysis, formulation and implementation framework, based on a mini-case approach, and supported by unrivalled supplementary resources, John Thompson's accessible text encourages students to think about strategy through the successes and failures of real companies.

Book Description
This book tells the story of how and why industrial research was established in America by two large and innovative corporations: General Electric, formed in a merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston in 1892, and the dominant force in the American electrical industry ever since; and American Telephone and Telegraph, the commercial outgrowth of Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone. Important lessons can be drawn from the early efforts of these two corporations. Through industrial research - and particularly through the development of patented products and processes - large companies could begin to exert a new degree of market control by strongly influencing the rate and direction of technological change. The development of industrial research also had a profound impact on science and technology in America. It affected the content and methods of both by providing new opportunities, incentives, and constraints to the growing community of students and engineers.
Book Description
This new edition could be the single most important tool HRD professionals can have to create cost-effective, productivity-oriented training programs. It updates the unique training model, called the Critical Events Model, which HRD professionals can adapt to their particular training situation. The model is presented in a series of steps called events that provide the designer with a straightforward system for designing training programs to improve performance and efficiency in the workplace.

Book Description
The competition for inward investment among regions and within and between nations is intense, and the promotional agencies concerned are increasingly innovative in their competitive strategies. This book examines the new competition for inward investment and, in particular, discusses the interconnections between localities that this creates. Two key dimensions of this are pursued, with examples from the EU, North America and the Far East.
First, the book deals with the new corporate investment dynamics such as time-based competition and the increasing significance of repeat investment. Second, the contributors explore the local and national institutional dynamics of increasingly creative efforts to attract mobile investments. These new corporate and institutional dynamics raise important issues regarding local and national democracy, and the sustainability of economic development.
The New Competition for Inward Investment is an inter-disciplinary book with an international focus. As such, the book will appeal to scholars of international business and especially those interested in the economic dimensions of globalization and the globalization debate. It will also be of interest to scholars and practitioners of regional science and regional economic development, including economic geographers and town planners.

Book Description
Everyone talks about thinking ""outside of the box"", but no one teaches how —until now. In her new book Retrain Your Business Brain: Outsmarting the Corporate Competition, Dr. Markus presents 101 original, visual perception and context-free puzzles that can actually change the way employees integrate information, opening the door to an unlimited number of new possibilities. These puzzles represent the prerequisites for thinking, and readers will walk away with ways they can improve their “brain elasticity.”
In Retrain Your Business Brain, restructuring expert and business consultant Donalee Markus, Ph.D., presents a challening new approach that will result in reenergized business decisions and practices.
Customer Reviews:
One star or five star, depends!.......2006-10-25
In this book you will have to deal with tons of puzzles, primarily of the visual, complete the progression type you find in GMAT (the GMAT puzzles are of the kindergarten level compared to those here). If you enjoy solving puzzles and believe that it can help to improve your IQ (that the authors do diagnose detailedly about your problem solving process which is definitely a plus), you will be highly satisfied. In case you simply get dizzy by looking at them like what my wife does, please give it a pass.
p.s. The five star rating is given to appreciate the effort of the authors for putting the large amount of extremely difficult and diverse puzzles in a 260 page book.
Review from Entrepreneur Magazine.......2003-12-05
Want to feel dumb? Then just take a look at Retrain Your Business Brain, and try one of the 101 problems inside. Donalee Markus, Lindsey Paige Markus and Pat Taylor designed these visual and verbal puzzles to force open new mental pathways. If pain leads to gain, they've done it, because you'll feel as if your mind is being stretched, bent and twisted. It's like yoga for your brain.
The authors claim that leaders and employees who work their way through the book become better at solving business problems and spotting opportunities; they even promise to turn detail-oriented people into big-picture thinkers. They walk you through solutions, coaching you to color-code and label problem elements, create categories and apply other problem-solving tools. By the final chapter--in which you decipher an ancient Babylonian numbering system without the use of a decoder ring--you'll never approach a problem the same way again, whether it's unraveling a market trend or trying to develop a new product.
Excellent!.......2003-11-07
I thoroughly enjoyed the book--well, at least when my brain wasn't hurting too much. This book does an excellent job of forcing you to not only solve rather difficult puzzles, but also to understand how to solve them (for some types I found myself getting them right without actually knowing what I was doing) and why you find them difficult. Markus, et al. explain the applications of the thought processes required for the puzzles to business and the symptoms of not doing so correctly. I would highly recommend it.
