The employees took over the company and kept it alive........1998-06-16
Weirton Steel in West Virginia has now taken its place as one of the most successful employee buyouts in history. Because of the process that began in 1983, the company extended its life by twelve years and, according to the author, "probably will last another dozen." That's a big accomplishment in a business once thought destined for the scrap heap. The dramatic story of Weirton, with plenty of relevance for today, is dramatically and expertly documented by this attorney and experienced journalist who spent five years studying the process.

One of the better ones........2003-11-11
I am new to the market and social research scene. I have been through a few books on the topic in order to speed up my learning, I found that a lot of them where either to vague or to in-depth.
I found that McGivern's book was one of the better ones around. The main reason was that it is up to date with the new technologies being used in Market Research as well as giving me a broad understanding of the business

Book Description
This book analyzes monetary integration and the choice and collapse of exchange rate regimes from a positive political economy perspective.This approach offers new insights to the widely discussed but only incompletely understood topic of exchange rate regime choice. A coherent framework is developed, which challenges the traditional and normative theory of monetary integration by focusing on interest groups such as industries and bureaucracies to analyze how they influence policymakers and the outcome of economic policy. It is shown that European monetary integration in the last century and today, as well as monetary disintegration in the former Soviet Union, can be interpreted and understood in this perspective.

authentic and valuable advice .......2005-12-29
Peter Richman's book is well written, well organized, concise, and full of valuable advice. I have read 20 books on various subjects relating to starting a business. This is one of the best, because it covers a lot of territory with virtually zero fluff.
The book's stated audience is owners of small businesses, which I am not. However, I feel the book is valuable to somebody who is planning to start a business as well.
The book reads like a personal letter from Mr. Richman to the owner of a small business. Mr. Richman addresses the business issues (marketing, sales, competition, finance, employees, profit, etc.) head on, and offers advice based on his experience in growing his own business.
Mr. Richman provides insight into the experience of a CEO who is growing a small business, the expected ups and downs. Overall the tone is positive and affirming, even when describing the horrors that can befall a small business owner.
There are other books that are intended to scare off wannabees. This book assumes you have the ability to pull off the feat of growing a business, and provides you with advice on how to do it.

Book Description
This book will show you how anyone can be persuaded to do anything.
Geoff Burch has written a book that will change almost everything you ever believed about business and selling. Combining the quick wit of a stand up comedian with the serious thoughtfulness of a psychoanalyst, he explains the value and power of persuasion - a verbal martial art that, if used correctly will always give you the outcome you desire in your business dealings.
Resistance is Useless will show you how to:
* Change anyone's opinion on any subject.
* Transform a lynch mob into your most devout supporters.
* Avoid wasting thousands of pounds on customer care while your accounts department is threatening to pulp your customer's fingers with a hammer.
* Understand how a perfect product demonstration can get you hurled into the street by security.
* Sell tanks to Genghis khan.
Readership: General Business, customer service and sales.

... Is Useless.......2004-08-05
For a book about persuasion it is too basic -- even for one that is ten years old. Furthermore, the author's style ist to use somewhat humorous but long-winded stories, which makes it for hurried readers looking for content definitively unbearable.

Warren Thurston, Reviewer, eBook Reviews Weekly.......2003-09-26
The dreaded job interview - having to attend one can be quite
draining. Most people experience one at least once in their
working life. It is part of the hiring cycle.
What a lot of job seekers lack is the skill set required to
sell themselves. An interview is a two-way street. It is an
exchange of information and ideas with the aim of impressing
each other.
This can be a daunting task from both sides of the table.
Both parties need to be aware of what is required from the
process, to achieve success. It is not easy to do this but
the aim of an interview is to obtain a successful outcome.
All people seeking employment can learn how to improve their
interview skills. Techniques are available that will help to
improve their prospects of getting jobs. Carole Martin's
book is an excellent source to guide people in the right
direction.
Full of valuable information, the book will add immense value
to a person's armory in the quest for a job. It is a book I
strongly recommend to every job seeker.

Book Description
Northeast Utilities Company adopted an ambitious new competitive strategy in the mid-1980s, seeking to become the low-cost supplier in New England electric power markets bracing for deregulation. Given its high-cost nuclear facilities, doing so required a corporate turnaround. For a decade Northeast faced increasing public and employee resistance to cost cutting at its nuclear plants. Though management achieved many of its goals, curtailing outlays on nuclear operations meant high risk that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would close the plants because of frequent, prolonged outages. This is just what happened in 1996. Did management's deliberate cost-containment strategy take nuclear operations to an inevitable regulatory shutdown, and if so, why? Was it the pursuit of executive compensation tied to cost containment that caused undue risk of regulatory shutdown?
Paul MacAvoy and Jean Rosenthal describe ten years of corporate performance preceding the shutdown, detailing aggressive executive decisions, mounting regulatory actions in response to increasingly severe operational failures, and--at the same time--overall improvement in corporate earnings, stock prices, and executive pay packages. They relate the complexities of managing declining nuclear plant operations under ever more pressing budgetary targets. Their discussion of the increasing risk of outages raises the issue of the tradeoff of profit and conservative management of hazard operations.
All the more timely in light of the massive 2003 East Coast blackout, Corporate Profit and Nuclear Safety represents a powerful and cautionary commentary on industrial practices that goes to the heart of effective corporate governance.

Making Things Work, a joint exhibition on early twentieth-century economic relations, examines economic and commercial relations and the transfer of technology between the United States and Russia in the years leading up to the 1917 Russian revolution and in the immediate postrevolutionary period. For the first time original sources in several major archives in Russia and in the Hoover Institution Archives have been brought together to illustrate the historical relationships of that period.
Book Description
In the coming decades environmental issues will play an increasing role in China's economic development drive, internal politics, legal development, international relations, and regional development issues. While several books have appeared in the 1990s which describe tangible aspects of China's environmental degradation, this book concentrates its attention on management of China's environment within various contexts and represents the state of thinking on the subject by some of the world's key social scientists in this field. It contains an international perspective of environmental problems in China often lacking in books about the Chinese environment. Chapters discuss environmental degradation in Chinese history, organisation of China's environmental protection network, the legal framework for environmental protection, agricultural land issues, water issues, biodiversity, energy, pollution, public health, and business opportunities for foreign firms. While this book shows that there is lots of room for optimism, it also indicates that many environmental problems remain intractable and some are worsening.
