A professional version of the author's earlier work, 'Getting Your Act Together: Goal Setting', from the 80's.......2006-09-24
Creating Your Future: Personal Strategic Planning for Professionals
by George L. Morrisey
I have had this wonderful book since the early 90's.
In a nut shell, this book is a professional version of the author's 'Getting Your Act Together: Goal Setting for Fun, Health & Profit' written in the early 80's. The latter book had also originated from the author's earlier works in the 60's/70's during which he had established a well-respect name in 'Management by Objectives' which included books, training films & corporate seminars/workshops.
'Getting Your Act Together' is also my first book on goal setting, which I have had since the early 80's. In fact, this book led me to the later book.
In a nutshell, these are the key chapters of both books:
Creating Your Future:
- The case for Personal Strategic Planning;
- Determining Your Professional Direction;
- Assessing Your Strategic Values;
- Preparing Your Personal & Professional Mission Statement;
- Identifying Your Areas of Strategic Concern;
- Strategic Analysis of Personal Areas;
- Strategic Analysis of Career Growth Areas;
- Strategic Analysis of Business Development Areas;
- Strategic Analysis of Financial Areas;
- Positioning Yourself with Long Term Objectives;
- Making the Future a Reality Through Strategic Action Plans;
- Where do You go from Here?
Getting Your Act Together:
- What's It all About?
- Where Should I go?
- Where is the Payoff?
- How to set Priorities?
- Getting Agreement & Commitment
- Reducing Goals to Bite Sizes
- How to Write a Measurable Goal Statement?
- How to Initiate an Action Plan?
- How to get moving on anything?
- Where do I go from Here?
Both books are complete with planning exercises, checklists, revealing case studies, & lively cartoons.
What I like about the author's books is that they are systematically designed to actively involve you in structuring - & restructuring - your life. In the business arena, the author is well known for his three-volume set of books on Strategic, Operational & Tactical Planning.
Best of all, the author's writing style is jargon-free, with easy-to-understand language.
My suggestion: For beginners, please go for 'Getting Your Act Together'. For professionals, please go for 'Creating Your Future'.
Whether you are seeking change or improvement in your personal or professional life, these two remarkable books will respectively guide you unerringly to your dreams & goals.
Creating Your Future: Personal Strategic Planning for Profe.......2000-07-27
The author has taken his knowledge of stratigic planning for corporations and states them in a manner that professionals can utilize the process concerning careers. The stratigic process can be applied to career growth, personal life, business development or financial planning.
Book Description
Financial markets are a fascinating example of 'complexity in action': a real-world complex system whose evolution is dictated by the decisions of crowds of traders who are continually trying to win in a vast global 'game'. This book draws on recent ideas from the highly-topical science of complexity and complex systems, to address the following questions: how do financial markets behave? Why do financial markets behave in the way that they do? What can we do to minimize risk, given this behavior? Standard finance theory is built around several seemingly innocuous assumptions about market dynamics. This book shows how these assumptions can give misleading answers to crucially important practical problems such as minimizing financial risk, coping with extreme events such as crashes or drawdowns, and pricing derivatives. After discussing the background to the concept of complexity and the structure of financial markets in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 examines the assumptions upon which standard finance theory is built. Reality sets in whith Chapter 3, where data from two seemingly different markets are analyzed and certain universal features uncovered which cannot be explained within standard finance theory. Chapters 4 and 5 mark a significant departure from the philosophy of standard finance theory, being concerned with exploring microscopic models of markets which are faithful to real market microstructure yet, which also reproduce real-world features. Chapter 6 moves to the practical problem of how to quantify and hedge risk in real world markets. Chapter 7 discusses deterministic descriptions of market dynamics, incorporating the topics of chaos and the all-important phenomenon of market crashes.

Lucid, dense and sound econophysics book.......2004-06-01
This book is written in a very dense fashion and should be compared to a math or physics text and obviously not to the advertised get rich quick books.
The style is very clear and very dense. The introduction says more about the financial market as many long texts. Also the definitions are precise and do contain content. Alone this introduction is worthwhile for anybody in the business of specifying a financial software system. It saves literally weeks of work.
As a next step a very dense overview of the "standard" finance theory is presented (first order Markov...). The authors even succeed to explain the Black Scholes option-pricing model in a few pages. I am very thankful for this.
The main impetus of the authors is to apply complexity theory to financial markets and get in return a good and existing example of a complex system. They look deeply into the limits of the independent and identical distributed probability function assumption. Also higher order correlations, the effect of competing and partly collaborating agents is discussed.
The text is accessible to most graduate students with a corresponding background in mathematics, physics ....

Book Description
(Kodansha) National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Chiba, Japan. Proceedings of the International Symposium on Biodefence Mechanisms: Search for Novel functions in Biodefence against Environmental Stress, held in Japan in 1997.
Book Description
This book describes a modern numerical technique, a lattice Boltzmann method, for shallow water flows with or without flow turbulence. This method requires only a simple microscopic equation to determine the depth and velocity based on its recovered macroscopic properties. The method is accurate and efficient for simulating complicated flows and flows within complex geometries, so it is becoming a powerful design tool in fluids engineering. The book may be used as a reference for scientists and engineers, a practical guide to the method for consultant organisations, and a textbook for graduates in engineering sciences such as coastal, civil and environmental engineering.
