Book Description

I am going to turn you into a modern business warrior ... equipped in every way to fight and win I am going to turn you into a modern business warrior...equipped in every way to fight and win the vital battles that are a daily part of your business life. Your transformation from sheep to lion will require a change in your attitude, and that change involves your understanding that business really is combat, in the most visceral and urgent sense. To win, you must be absolutely prepared.

-- James D. Murphy

Your pulse quickens. Your mind focuses. The mission is clear, the maneuvers rehearsed, and there are no second chances. You are about to engage in supersonic jet combat at 45,000 feet ...

. . or maybe you're about to enter a fierce sales battle with your toughest corporate competitor.

These two scenarios are more closely related than they might appear. Business today moves faster than ever. The competition is ruthless, the pressure intense, the stakes dizzyingly high. Companies that lag behind or lose sight of their goals can self-destruct almost overnight.

What can you do to survive? James Murphy, one of America's top fighter pilots, has the answers. In Business Is Combat he shares the wisdom of his Afterburner Seminars, training you in the military techniques that have made the United States Air Force one of the most formidable organizations in the world. His key concepts, applied to both businesses and the individuals who make them work, include:

The Fighter Pilot Way

Learn that confidence inspires confidence, that discipline keeps it from going to your head, and that camaraderie will keep your company sharp.

Leaning Forward

To win, you'll have to fight the next war--not the last one. Accept and prosper from the conviction that change is good.

The Value of Intelligence

Know both yourself and your enemy before planning any attack. A little research saves lives on the battlefield and dollars on the bottom line.

Six Steps to Mission Planning

Includes a preflight checklist, from identifying the threat to setting your timing to planning for contingencies.

The Art of Execution

How to make the kill without losing your cool.

Task Saturation

A primary obstacle to flawless execution. Learn to channel and compartmentalize pressures and stress.

By combining the cool calculation of a four-star general and the hot-blooded nerve of a combat pilot, Murphy's "modern business warrior" is uniquely qualified to prioritize, maintain focus, assess risk, and develop the kind of teamwork necessary for long-term success. Whatever your mission, whatever your battle, Business Is Combat provides a blueprint for the kind of success every warrior seeks--absolute victory.

Best ROI in 2000!.......2001-03-08

I purchased James Murphy's book in 2000, we just completed our financials and I am pleased to report that we doubled our revenues. We contribute this increase to a single statement we found in the book, Business is Combat. "All of our resources in the Air Force are alligned like a shaft of a spear, pushing the "pointy end forward". We did that in our business and the results were dramatic. We have become great planners, we execute efficently and we now debrief, all of this we learned from Mr. Murphy's book. I keep it on my desk and refer to it often because it makes us money.

A Book About Getting Things Done.......2000-08-07

Many business books are long on theory, but short on providing any insight about actually executing. And face it, theories come and go, but getting things done is never out of style.

James Murphy has written a book about getting things done. His style is informal and accessible ... he writes as if he's sitting across the table talking to you. And he remains focused on his message: the planning, execution and debriefing required to build a successful business or organization.

Getting into this book requires the reader to accept that the skills taught to fighter pilots apply to business. The amazing thing is that they actually do. I've not received this training, but I have been in business for a long time. And the information imparted in this book can help anyone run a business better. From handling 'task saturation' to staying focused, this book provides useful insights in an entertaining way.

If you're looking for a book on the latest theory on business, skip "Business is Combat." If you want to pick up some ideas you can start using immediately to get things done, I highly recommend it.

Tactics to put into action right away!.......2000-05-23

Jim Murphy's book is dead on. As an entrepreneur, one can tend to overlook planning on a day to day scale... this book brings the necessity of a plan back to the center of your business. The best thing you can do for your business or life... finally something that you can read and then put into action RIGHT AWAY. Just what I needed.

Aviation & Business Go Together.......2000-05-17

As a former Air Force Weapons Crew Chief and a 25 year businessman, I thought Business Is Combat was not only an informative and exciting read but one that is absolutely accurate in its analogies, lessons and promise of success. The fighter jock is cool, calm and collected not just because he is who he is but because he is confident in his abilitiy to do what he does. This can only come from preparation, repetition and more repetition. As Jim Murphy points alludes, to loose focus for an instant can be the difference between returning home safely or trying out the handle on the ejection seat.

The stakes are just as important in business (perhaps more so since a leader is also responsible for the people under his charge). Attention to detail and flawless execution has no substitute. I believe this book is a great read and a reference for winning teams

Mission Accomplished.......2000-04-10

A great read for a young entrepreneuror or veteran who wants to soar his business to new heights. Business is Combat is truly inspirational not only in the corporate world but also in life!

Book Description

Mary Parker Follett agreed with Sheldon about the need to emphasize human factors in management, but placed greater stress on the need to develop a science of cooperation. Follett's "Law of the Situation" sought to bridge the gap between an ideal of scientific management and the unilateral position that it seemed to involve in practice. In effect she was proposing the same collaboration between leaders and subordinates that was usually to be found between leaders of the same rank.

Book Description

This edited collection includes contributions by Mary Parker Follett, Henri Fayol, James D. Mooney and Henry S. Dennison, L. J. Henderson, T. N. Whitehead, and Elton Mayo.

The paper by Henderson, Whitehead, and Mayo discusses the findings of the Hawthorne experiments. Whilst admiring the pioneering work of Taylor, these authors criticize scientific management on the grounds that it does not study the facts of human organization. The Hawthorne experiments revealed the importance of spontaneous social organization of the work group into a micro-social system.

Great introduction to a complex subject.......2000-04-29

Wether you have no clue of what meta data are or your a meta data expert, you musy read this book. It covers all meta data type (operational, DSS related and XML) with a non technical (meaning over technical) approach

I did particularly appreciated the Data warehouse meta data description even though I am a specialist myself

Only pitfall, it is more a description of the topic than a guide or a "how to" so if you have a project tomorrow, you'd rather deepen your culture with another book !
