Book Description
Are you considering graduate school as a way to further your career? Are you already pursuing an advanced degree part time? If so, Surviving Graduate School Part Time is a must read. If you are at the point in your career when a graduate degree is needed as a professional credential, the prospect of graduate school may seem daunting and ill-timed. You may already work long hours in order to establish your career and have probably made major financial commitments, such as the purchase of a home, or an automobile, in addition to paying off undergraduate loans. This practical volume addresses the concerns of the working professional seeking a graduate degree while trying to maintain career and family responsibilities. The helpful information, advice, and short cuts author Von V. Pttman provides are gleaned from nearly 20 years of service in the continuing education divisions at three major state universities. Beginning with an overview of the development of graduate school as a part-time phenomenon, the author goes on to explore practical matters such as choices of schools and programs as well as strategies to help cut throughùor cope withùuniversity bureaucracies and financing. The author also includes appendixes that provide valuable information regarding regional accrediting associations, academic guidelines, entrance exam preparation, and financial aid.

In other words, cellular organizations.......2003-12-21
Dr. Kenneth McKenzie's work, The Organizational Hologram, is really about the development of a new type of business structure, the "cellular business structure"--which he calls "the organizational hologram". According to McKenzie, organizational holograms are organizations where all the parts and functions are repeated in each different part of the organization.
McKenzie traces this type of structure all the way back to the Roman Empire, and shows that its basic structure was cellular (or holographic), not hierarchical as is often contended, and usually believed. For instance, in contrast to the traditional hierarchical view of the Empire (which really did come into existence through Diocletian and Constantine), the Empire had both senatorial provinces tied to the Senate, and imperial provinces tied to and controlled by the emperor's hand-picked governors. This type of structure contributed to Rome's adaptability over time, and thus to its longevity. Besides the pre-Constantinian Roman Empire, cellular structures can be seen in medieval monastic orders, such as the Benedictines, and in the guerrilla armies that have fought effectively in the modern West since the American revolution, and especially as developed by Mao-Tse-tung, General Giap, Chè Guevara, and other modern practitioners. Still, their application to business has been largely recent and idiosyncratic.
Several principles govern this type of organization, including the fact that all functions are duplicated in each part of the organization. Moreover, these "cells" are linked, so that change and innovation can arise anywhere in the organization, and spread to anywhere else in the organization (a secret to the adaptability of such organizations). McKenzie develops a dozen or so such characteristics of these organizations, which I consider both excessive and unnecessary (seven should be the maximum number). Still, this book is the seminal work in a rapidly growing area of business organizational design. Others such as myself write and present on this important topic, but McKenzie both writes on it, and as a consultant implements such structures.
McKenzie has published a follow-on article in one of the more recent volumes of the series, Current Topics in Management, titled, "A Theory for Managing Fast-Changing Organizations", where the basic outlines of this important thesis can be reviewed, and where he cites perfect business examples, such as McDonald's Corporation. As usual, McKenzie's work is lucid, thoughtful, and impeccably researched. I recommend it to anyone with a passion for understanding, analyzing, and implementing novel organizational structures.
How to Build a Thriving Organization.......2001-05-07
Mackenzie uses the metaphor of the hologram to explain the characteristics found within efficiently and flexibly adaptable organizations. Major concepts explored and explained are that 1.) organizations are dynamic, ever changing, 2.) "organizational processes are not random, but describable", and 3.) all processes are connected with other processes in the organization. This un-common sense approach examines a theory that considers both the organization as a structure and the relationships of associates within that organization. Congruency at the organizational level is vital but cannot exist long unless there is congruency at the associate level. These two types of congruency are "mutually dependent", that is to say, they reciprocally reinforce the other. This interdependence dynamically allows the organization to produce effectively. This book uses real life applications to explain how to understand and how to improve any organization. Written primarily with business organizations in mind, these concepts are highly transferrable to education, government agencies, and non-profit agencies. I highly recommend this book to all readers!

Book Description
More so than had any of his predecessors in the White House, Franklin D. Roosevelt drew heavily on the thinking of economists as he sought to combat the Great Depression, to mobilize the American economy for war, and to chart a new order for the postwar world. Designs within Disorder is an inquiry into the way divergent analytic perspectives competed for official favor and the manner in which the President opted to pick and choose among them when formulating economic policies.

Complete and comprehensible.......2001-03-24
This strategic management book is definitely a good introduction into strategic management. I am a management student myself and read it as an introduction. I have compared it to some of the other intoductory books that other schools use, and in my opinion, it is much more direct than the others I have seen. It does not beat around the bush. And it is more detailed than the others. For example, the chapter on competitive, unlike many of the other books, really tries to give as concrete a picture as possible about what this 'vague' concept actually entails. In short, it really increased my insight into the area of strategic management a great deal!
"Approach" is the right word.......2000-05-01
I used this book in my Business Strategy class this semester. I think that this book only begins to approach the material it covers. I am sure that the authors could have gone into far more detail when writing the book, but I don't think that was the purpose of the book. I think that it is intended to be an introduction to strategic management, and it does a great job of doing that. It provides an easy to read format and attractive tables and diagrams. The strategy in action, opening, and closing cases provide a helpful real-world application of the material. I think that this is a great way to provide students with an overview of the material. I learned alot from the book and the class it was used for.
Comprehensive introduction to strategic management.......2000-04-24
An excellent introduction to strategic management. Very readable and flows exceptionally well. Diagrams a bit to basic, but easy on the reader. Clear and concise (no MBA jargon). A very exciting book. Case studies are American Bias, but readable by us Brit's. The first half of the book is excellent, but it loses direction towards the end. Includes, the strategic management process, stakeholders, the nature of competitive advantage, external analysis, internal analysis , business corporate and functional level strategies, building competitive advantage, implementing strategic change etc. Case studies are excellent and bring the book to life, they include Starbucks, Coral divers resort, Microsoft, KFC and many others.
If you have left your strategic management essay to the last miniute buy this book and work through it with company reports to write your esssay in under a Week - I did and recieved 85% (highest mark out of 40 students).
Good luck with the essays.
An interesting book arranged logically........2000-04-07
This book has been a helpful resource in knowing more about business and strategy. The illustrations helped to make the material clearer. The outline of the book made study somewhat easier. I feel that I am better prepared for my future career after reading and studying this book.
A book of Reviews.......2000-04-06
I used this book as a text book for the last class I took at college. This was the highest level class and the book should have been a little more challenging. The book was great at reviewing everything that I had done in my entire college studies. But the book lacked in the area of taking the knowledge and applying it to everyday life. I would use this book again but I would try and find a way to apply more of it the the business world.
Book Description
The results are in. The evidence has been analyzed. Research shows that the lack of enterprise-wide training is the biggest reason for ERP implementation failures. It is the single most important precursor to achieving success. Integrated Learning for ERP Success is the first resource to offer a specifically defined, comprehensive method for planning, delivering, and evaluating ERP training efforts. It even includes formulas for determining training return on investment. The Learning Requirements Planning (LRP) process presented involves a six-step enterprise-level instructional design model that when implemented correctly assures success. If you would rather have a root canal than oversee an ERP implementation, you are not alone. But like avoiding a root canal, avoiding ERP implementation only causes more pain. This book eases the implementation pain. It shows you how a formal plan for learning will increase the productivity of the ERP implementation team, shorten overall implementation time, and substantially decrease implementation costs. It also provides a discussion on how an ERP implementation can be used as a catalyst for lifelong organizational learning. Implementing an ERP system can cost three to ten times the actual software purchase price. You can't afford to waste money or time in the areas of ERP education. Integrated Learning for ERP Success shows you how to create learning-focused ERP implementations that provide substantial savings and the competitive advantage.
Book Description
Succeed in the business world and this course with STRATEGIC BUSINESS COMMUNICATION! Easy to read and concise, this text includes numerous exercises so you can test your understanding of key concepts and principles. Critical Thinking, Responsible Communication, and In Your World boxes are just a few of the tools integrated throughout the text to will help you master the material and succeed in the business communications course.

Book Description
Inter-firm relations are not new. But fast developments in technology and globalization have led to increased opportunities for international alliances, and an upsurge in the interest in inter-organizational relations. With the time ripe for a unified theory of collaboration, Inter-firm Collaborations surveys the current field, connects differing perspectives and answers questions about who should collaborate, why, and how.
Emphasizing learning and innovation, this book offers an integrated account of the key issues in the design and management of inter-firm relations and networks. It takes a uniquely interdisciplinary approach, bringing together perspectives from economics, sociology and management to offer a new kind of book on this subject.
Supporting theory, the book includes illustrative case examples taken from a variety of firm, network and industry types.
Coherent and wide-reaching, Inter-firm Collaborations provides students and academics in economics, business, sociology, social psychology and economic geography with the tools required to understand this topical and highly relevant subject.

Book Description
NO BULL Object Technology for Executives is a friendly, insightful introduction to object-oriented (OO) technology. William Perlman has specifically written this book for business executives and managers who have a software development organization within their company or area of responsibility, but have neither the time nor the background necessary to read through manuals and technical publications. The book focuses on the benefits and pitfalls of investing in object technology from a financial and human resources perspective. It also provides a nontechnical understanding of OO terminology, what OO technology is, and how programmers use it. Written clearly and concisely and peppered with humorous cartoons and other informative illustrations, this book is essential to all nontechnical decision-makers. It will also prove helpful to people with a background in other programming models who wish to explore object technology.
