A must reading on Pakistan.......2004-05-11

There are very few contributions to the literature of economic development which bring a totally unique approach to analyze the issues facing a developing economy. Instead of a traditional "economic factors can explain all" hypthesis this book adopts a multi-discipinary approach combining economic and non-economic factors in explaining the Pakistan paradox i.e. high growth rates with poor social developoment.Those who are interested in going beyond simplisitic prescriptions will find this book extremely illuminating. For those who wish to learn about Pakistan and Muslim countries in general this book is a must reading.

Excellent reading on economic and social isues of Pakistan.......1999-10-03

The book provides an incisive review of the issues and challenges facing Pakistan's economy on the eve of next millennium, and proposes a rich agenda of changes needed. This is done in the socio-political context of the country and the system of governance, recognizing that economic policy formulation or implementation is deeply rooted in the system of governance. Typically, books on the economy of any country, Pakistan or others, are confined to the tedious chronology and analysis of economic events, sprinkled with a few standard policy prescriptions, which is beyond the attention span of common readers. What makes this book an interesting reading is its underlying theme, that in developing countries like Paksitan, economic progress is simply not a matter of policy formulation. Instead, their success is inextricably intertwined with the institutional processes essential to their implementation and follow-up. In Pakistan, as the book traces out, there has been no dearth of policy formulation or policy advice over the years. From time to time various expert groups were commissioned, but their recommendations are piled up in a mound of massive reports without much progress to show for all the efforts made. Recognizing this, the author goes beyond the routine format of economic reportage and elaborates on the system of governance. The book points out how an elite group consisting of the landed aristocracy, the army, the senior bureaucracy, and a select few rich and resourceful families have kept their stranglehold throughout much of the rather turbulent history of Pakistan. It details how the system of governance has been compromised to sustain the rule of this elite group, and how the organs of government have been shaped or reshaped to this end. It shows how the existing political system has disenfranchised several parts of the Pakistani society giving rise to social unrest and upheavals; and why a large number of the young and educated are turning to protests and violence. Further, the book shows how the leading institutions of the country in critical areas like education and the judiciary have been systematically eroded away from within. The book shows that Pakistan faces rather daunting challenges of rebuilding a society that would be in harmony with the needs of 21st century and outlines an agenda essential to achieve economic and social progress.

From the supplier: Cooperative advertising plans are the solution to companies that want to compete effectively in the market retail market without increasing their advertising budget. A survey of home improvement companies revealed that only 70% of the market are using co-op funds to boost their advertising. According to the National Assn. for Promotional and Advertising Allowances, this leaves between $12 billion and $15 billion in unspent co-op ad funds. Advertising experts claim that co-op funding programs are successful when both retailer and manufacturer benefit from them.

Thoroughly worthless..........2005-04-08

This book is completely worthless. I bought it for a class only because I had to. It doesn't have anything in it that's not already common sense. I didn't learn anything except for a few new-fangled terms for stuff that I, or for that matter anyone who's ever held a job, already know. If you are looking to improve your management skills, don't waste your time with this book.

Customer Reviews:

Disapointing.......2003-12-14

In a word disappointing. Microsoft Project can seem like a bewildering collection of data, options, and interrelationships to the new student. Step-by-step provides some context by going through many of the tasks that you would actually execute if you were using the tool to produce and manage a project schedule. However, it does not leave reader prepared to produce and manage a real schedule of his/her own.

There is no discussion of strategies for schedules e.g. should you consider effort-controlled tasks, if you don't what's the best way to update your schedule, if you do what's the best way to update your schedule??? There is little discussion of "task types" and the pivotal role they play, how those choices impact updating the schedule, resource leveling, and incongruous operations that the tool will allow you to perform without protest. Perhaps because the producer of the software wrote the book there is absolutely no mention of the tool's shortcomings and how they can be avoided.

After reading this book the reader will be able to create a schedule, but will probably become bogged down in difficulty if they try to manage a project by maintaining that schedule.

I used the book as part of my study for the Microsoft Office Specialist exam. I found that I needed to do a lot of supplemental study in order to pass the test.

All you need for MOS certification for Project 2002.......2003-09-27

I spent 2 months on this book, and practised using the trial software that came with the book. Believe me - that was all I needed to get certified. I just needed one attempt! No retaking business at all. I am now Microsoft Office Specialist in Microsoft Project 2002! I did not spend on any other training or books. This book deserves 5 stars and nothing less. Thanks to the authors who did a splendid job.

Very good tutorial text for first-time users.......2003-04-03

The Step-by-Step series on MS Project has been a staple for several years now. Don't expect a lot of advanced coverage, but the book is a solid starter book with clearly written instructions and a fairly engaging case-based set of exercises.

Work through the exercises, though. It's a "hands-on" kind of book!

Covers the breadth of features well.......2003-03-12

This book is designed to bring you up to speed on how to use the various features of Microsoft Project 2002, and it achieves that goal well.

It contains a well written Appendix entitled "A Short Course in Project Management", and various "Project Management Focus" paragraphs throughout the book, but it is not really intended to teach you project management. For that, I suggest you read a project management text without a software focus, such as Project Management for Dummies by Stan Portny.

Just as you would not expect a book on Microsoft Word to teach you how to write using good grammar, you should not expect this book on Microsoft Project to also teach you all you need to know about project management.

I use this book to teach various Project 2002 courses, and I find it works well. However, a prerequiste for my classes is a project management theory class that uses only pen and paper. I have found this to be a powerful combination.

A Simple Intro for Project 2002...but you need more..........2003-02-14

I went through the book, cover to cover, word for word...doing all the examples whose files came from the included CD-ROM...never ran into any problems. Everything worked fine.
I guess I felt like a soldier marching through all the features in a logical progression. The book tells you what to type in step by step...introduces you to all the features (there is a lot that you can do with project 2002 besides manage your own project...eg., you can consolidate projects so that you have a project plan that contains other project plans that you can view and edit...you can create a VBA (Visual Basic Appliation) macro to run and update your HTML project plan...you can learn about Earned Value Analysis, which gives you additional insight into how your project is progressing (maybe similar to the internal rate of return used in Financial analysis to give you a report card on how well your investment is doing)...
I found the chapters were simple to step through and complete. The authors have a somewhat cut and dried tone that actually seems to suit the purpose at hand well, which is to drag you through all the features and details of project 2002 in a limited amount of space and time....And they do this in 369 pages (the chapters only, not the appendices) instead of over a 1000 pages as some books. So the book is for the beginner in Project, If you already have knowledge of project or read any other books on it, you'll want to find something more intermediate or advanced and this won't do it for you. I liked the book for keeping an even keel and not going off on any tangents...they had a goal to show you all the features and seem to accomplish that...Their treatment of many of the subjects in the book are elementary and you'll need to find other books eg., on VBA, to pursue it further.
What it purports to do is give you a step by step introductory knowledge of project 2002 with real world examples. So what doesn't it do? What it doesn't do is commit to showing you how to apply project management which is really what you want to do....knowing all the features is nice but show me a coherent "way" to put it into action...I think I need to get another book to do that.

MS Project for Dummies?.......2004-05-15

This book is extremely basic and offers no help to those with real project troubleshooting issues. It's really a "step-by'-step" for the project novice. If you are just getting started with project, and have little or no MS office or computer skills, this book is for you. If you are looking for best practice tips and techniques, or help in solving real-world project issues, move on to another title.

Not much help.......2004-03-10

I had hoped to get a better technical understanding of how Project functioned. Instead I got answers that I could have figured out for myself with no real insight given. Hence why the used price of this book is so low.

Leaves out Project 2002 Server.......2002-09-04

I must humbly disagree with the other reviewers. It is important to point out that this book does not provide ANY information related to the Server product, which is the predominant reason people would move up to Project 2002. For example, go to the index and look up "Spooler error" and there won't be a single reference. Look up "Enterprise" as in resources and there won't be anything. This book is purely for Project 2002. Her style of writing is very nice so I wish that she would write a companion book on Project Server which really needs some troubleshooting guides right now!

A good reference to have around.......2002-08-23

This is one of those books that you wish you had on hand late in the evening when all you want to do is get MS Project to work for you so you can go home. MS Project has gotten complex over the years and just about everyone is going to get in trouble eventually. Get this book NOW and you will have the resource when you need it most.

Troubleshooting cuts to the chase on all the tough stuff. It will save you hours of frustration and maybe even make you look good!

Just what we need for using this application.......2002-08-06

- Written in non-techie English.
- Easy to follow.
- Topics are easy to find.
- Very pleasant reading for a software app book.
