The More Times Change..........2003-05-12

...the more they stay the same. Despite the fact that this book was written and published more than five years ago, it's still the best book written on strategy execution and implementation. Alright,... I'll admit it: the book's title and cover design need a little work (author take note!!). However, if you're willing to look past these superficial flaws, you'll discover the definative book on strategy implementation -- even better than Larry Bossidy's fine "Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done." In addition to this book and Bossidy's "Execution," I'd also recommend that you consider Kotter's "Leading Change" and Smallwood, Ulrich, and Zenger's "Results-Based Leadership" (both five-star books!!). Bottom line? "Implementing Your Strategic Plan" is a must addition to your management library. Overall grade: B+/A.

Making strategic intent into a reality........1999-02-23

This book could have been titled "making change happen." The core of this book consists of a chapter by chapter discussion of the 18 keys to implementing the strategic plan. The 18 keys are grouped into five categories: setting accountability; enabling and aligning action; fixing the organization; providing an environment in which people can excel; and judging and rewarding. This is a superb, penetrating and detailed book which begins with a fascinating summary of findings from the author's survey of CEOs and key executives who were successful in implementing change. One insight stands out from these findings-teams don't develop paradigm shift strategies; CEOs do. Indeed Fogg states that the single most important factor in the change equation is leadership. With that truth set forth up front, we were confident that this book would be a rewarding experience; it was...and we highly recommend it!

Book Description

Mark Rupert traces the relationship between American global power and the rise of mass production. The United States was propelled to the apex of the global division of labor, ensuring victory in World War II and enabling postwar reconstruction under American leadership. Through a study of Ford Motor Company between 1914 and 1952, he examines the political and ideological struggles through which industrial labor was incorporated into the coalition of statesmen and capitalists that constructed the postwar world order.

Book Description

Assertive people are able to clearly make their point, speak their mind, and express their needs while maintaining others’ self-esteem. How to Speak Up Without Putting Others Down, Participant’s Workbook from the popular 60- Minute Active Training Series offers you a ready-made design for an effective, yet brief program that will teach you how to express yourself clearly, directly, and tactfully. Specifically, you will learn how to

Express yourself in a straightforward way¾without offending others
Stand your ground, tactfully even in the face of resistance
Persist with people who fail to follow through on their communications and promises

Book Description

The key to being a successful salesperson is to embrace the art of persuasion. The Twenty-One Sales in a Sale will teach you that pressuring a potential buyer will only produce a negative response. But by adopting the theory that selling means nothing more than persuading, salespersons can free themselves of potential moral violations and master the task at hand without frustration and stress.

By proving to yourself that there is a need for your product, and that you are skilled enough to sell it, you will develop the communication skills and confidence necessary to be an effective salesperson. You must also identify your target market and capture their attention through an energetic and innovative approach to introducing your product. If you have the research and knowledge to back up your product, you will be able to show your prospective buyer how it will solve their problems. Approach your sale like a business proposal instead of lapsing into a straight proposition of "Buy my product" and the buyer will respect your information and consider your solution.

By following The Twenty-One Sales in a Sale, you will be using "entelechy," the atmosphere of mutual respect and ease created by an appropriate sales approach. This atmosphere can be useful even after the sale has been completed, and may be used to obtain references to other potential clients or further sales with your client.

Customer Reviews:

Has serious mathematical errors.......2005-01-07

This book is good as an overview to give you a starting point of what you can use as quantitative methods in managing projects. However the book contains mathematical errors, not typos but actual reasoning errors ... use with caution.

Walks the reader through its mathematical formulas.......2004-02-06

Quantitative Methods In Project Management by John C. Goodpasture (President and Founder of Square Peg Consulting, a consulting firm specializing in the field of project management) is a straightforward business guide to calculating project values and using basic metrics to measure success.

Book Description

This text is a project management text that focuses on "high technology." The text is brief and has more applied vs. theoretical coverage. The text will focus on traditional project management topics, i.e., project adoption, planning, scheduling, and implementation, however, Olson will look at these topics from an IS or software perspective.

Customer Reviews:

A good start..........2002-03-12

Olson's text lays down the fundamental bricks of a solid IT project manager. This book covers a wide variety of topics -- everything from financial analysis (cost/benefit, NPV, etc.) to the approaches of the systems development life cycle.

Although I'm sure Olson has received many deserved acclaims for his writings in this field, I think this text leaves a little to be desired. It is a very impersonal read, oftentimes forgetting that superb personnel skills are essential to the up-and-coming project manager. It is a very thick, dense text, and although it is not even 300 pages, you sometimes feel that you're sifting through a phonebook to find the scarce relevant information. At times, it can even be quite repetitive, which is a true feat for such a thin book.

I got the impression that Olson had very little experience in the area of IT project management, often referring to outside (3rd party) studies and hypothetical examples to back up his main ideas. The text could have used a good deal more real-world examples and insight from professionals in this line of work -- not just other professors who study it.

Overall, it isn't a great book, but you can do worse I suppose. If I weren't required to read this for a class, I would have definitely picked up a different IT project management book by an author in the actual industry. This is a good starting point for a book in this field, but I will definitely want to supplement it with a more encompassing book by an accredited author from the IT workplace.

A View From 20000 feet.......2000-11-10

This book provides a very high level view of the topics covered. I'd rate it as OK for someone wanting to get an overview of workflows, groupware, or intranets. However, if you are looking for an in-depth analysis of these types of systems, it misses the mark. It's an easy read if you are just looking for a high level introductory text, though.

Good for introduction.......2000-05-16

The book is a good text book for students in the field of Information Technology. It compehensively covers the concept but is lack of the examples of real implementation.

It is also quite useful for those who are seeking for introduction of business process automation.
