Book Description
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has grown has grown into a powerful quantitative, analytical tool for measuring and evaluating performance. It has been successfully applied to a host of different entities engaged in a wide variety of activities in many complex, multi-layered contexts worldwide.
DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS: A Comprehensive Text with Models, Applications, References, And DEA-Solver Software, 2nd Edition is designed to provide a systematic introduction to DEA and its uses as a multifaceted tool for evaluating problems in a variety of contexts. Each chapter accompanies its developments with simple numerical examples and discussions of actual applications. Emphasis is placed on the use as well as an understanding of DEA and the topics in this book have been selected and treated accordingly. The first nine chapters cover the basic principles of DEA and the final seven chapters are more advanced treatment of DEA. These final chapters were completely revised into new chapters, reflecting recent developments that greatly extend the power and scope of DEA and lead to new directions for research and DEA uses. These chapters are as follows:
- Chapter 10 provides a new treatment of "super efficiency models."
- Chapter 11 deals with efficiency changes over time, covering more "window analysis" than in the first edition and extending to the "Malmquist Index."
- Chapter 12 turns to scale elasticity and congestion which are combined and extended for joint use in new applications.
- Chapter 13 illustrates both facets of outputs with the use of fossil fuels to generate electric power (good output) also being accompanied by fuel emissions (bad outputs).
- Chapter 14 deals with "economies of scope" which address whether it is more efficient to produce multiple products in the same plant or by producing them in separate plants or companies.
- Chapter 15 outlines "n person cooperative games" and demonstrates how the rich array of concepts from game theory may be combined with DEA to determine rewards in a large variety of real-world situations.
- Chapter 16 treats and extends "stochastic frontier analysis" (SFA) by introducing a three-stage process that combines DEA with SFA.
These chapters systematically present the new developments in DEA and used together with the first ten chapters of the basic principles will provide students and researchers with a solid understanding of the methodology, its uses and its potential.

Mathematical techniques of extremely limited usefullness.......2006-05-13
The two stars in my rating are not so much a comment on quality (although it has all the glitter of a 1940's graduate math tome), but as a warning that it is likely to be of value to an extremely limited audience. I would strongly suggest looking through a copy to verify its usefullness to what you want to do before investing money in buying it.
It sets up the machinery and provides examples of methods to determine distance from a linearly defined boundary of paramaterized point sets. If this is what you need to do, then it will indeed be a useful book.
However wider claims of great usefullness in analyzing general performance of businesses, or any other entities characterized by incomplete information and random variation, need to be accepted cautiously. Hence my warning that it will be of very limited usefullness to the majority of analysts, and it would be well to verify that it addresses the problem one needs to solve before buying it.
Excellence is a Function of Cooper et al........2000-08-13
What a joy it is to read a great book! If you want to learn the subject of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) get a copy of this book. Both the text and the CD help focus the reader to understand and maximize the learning experience. I am sure this book will become another classic for Dr. Cooper et al.
great DEA models and advances.......2000-06-06
for researchers, this book is a must in that it presents a really comprehensive review of dea history and frontiers. but good applications and model comparison with stochastic or bayesian studies could be addressed more in details.

Fear, curiosity, exhaustion, loyalty, paranoia, optimism, rage, and revelation--not quite the kind of emotions that are anticipated or discussed when leaders embark on organizational change, but exactly the kind to expect, says Jeanie Daniel Duck in her treatise on the human element of growth. The Change Monster examines how to effectively plan for, address, and manage the least predictable and perhaps the most important aspect of a successful transformation.
Duck's experience with change has been widespread and varied. During an early career running her own consulting practice and more recent years spent as a senior vice president with the prestigious Boston Consulting Group (BCG), she has guided companies all over the world through the mountains and minefields of mergers, reengineering ventures, and strategic transformation projects. In the process, she has developed and refined her understanding of the five phases of the Change Curve, her own map of the territory of change. The monster in hibernation is the first of those phases, Stagnation, and it's awoken by forceful impetus from on high, through either internally or externally initiated change. Duck discusses both the signs of stagnation and various methods for recognizing the problem--the questions that need to be asked, the analyses that need to be conducted, and the appetite for change that needs to be generated. During the Preparation stage, there are essential tasks for the leaders (achieving alignment and commitment on vision, strategy, and values) that will provoke behavioral-change requirements of all members of the organization, and Duck introduces a BCG tool used to help assess the change bias of any organization. For the Implementation and Determination stages, Duck shares tips on walking the talk, being on the alert for human dynamics that threaten to derail the initiative, and communicating effectively, and offers advice on testing one's assumptions as a leader and staying involved with the process of change at all levels--strategies designed to lead the organization through to the final stage of Fruition. Throughout, Duck refers to the largely positive change experience of a real company, Honeywell Micro Switch, and the less-effective actions of a fictional merger between two pharmaceutical firms.
Duck has also spent time as an artist and teacher, occupations reflected in her understanding of how people cope with both the reality of change and the manner in which it's brought about. Though targeted at the change-management drivers of the business world, The Change Monster is infused with a sense of the effects of change in all areas of life. A sensitive exploration of an often-difficult process. --S. Ketchum

The mental barriers as main obstacle!.......2006-03-09
All of us know how difficult results to initiate and moreover to undertake a true renovation of settled mental maps and old paradigms. As a matter of fact most of Managements pretend to reorder their organizational environment without primarily, undertaking an inner transformation.
This is an admirable and conspicuous essay what offers relevant clues and clever indications to undertake this breathtaking but fundamental attitude mental state. The essence of a continuous transformation implies a vital renovation ` s impulse from within ourselves.
An indispensable consult text in your personal library.
Learn to manage the human element in the change process.......2006-02-28
Many organizations change. Most try and plan it. Many fail. Many mergers and acquisitions fail to deliver as expected. Why?
Author Jeanie Daniel Duck cites the human element-how changing the corporate environment makes people feel. The author presents a five-stage framework for dealing with change called the "change curve." This change curve is designed for understanding and managing the human element of the change process. The five-stage process is as follows:
· Stage 1: Stagnation. This is the time that the organization can be depressed or demoralized. There is a general slowness, difficulty in making decisions, and a general lack of motivation.
· Stage 2: Preparation. Leaders of the change must accomplish the aligning and energizing of management around the corporate strategy and vision; articulating and detailing the plan; and generating a healthy dissatisfaction with the ways things are allowing for a genuine appreciation for change to come from within the workforce
· Stage 3: Implementation. Here the leader's ability to manage the expectations, experience and energy of the company is critical to the success of the implementation. The author recommends four methods to start this phase: test and deploy, build behavior first, use attraction to convert, and plan replication.
· Stage 4: Determination. This phase, marked with conflicts, clashes, failures, and minor successes, is only as successful as the degree to which top management stays involved and focused.
· Stage 5: Fruition. This stage is when the change is in place. This is a time to reward employees for their hard work. The company needs to move forward to avoid re-entering a period of stagnation.
Comforting.......2003-09-26
The change monster made me aware of the stages of change in a company: Stagnation,
Preparation, Implementation, and Fruition. Ms Duck seems to be an excellent consultant from the stories I read. The book seems oriented towards Human Resources types as the title suggests. My background is Information Technology consulting, so I found I related too only a few of her stories. I would say her stories were interesting and demonstrated how companies move through change stages arriving at fruition. Ms Duck reminences on her experience and draws important conclusions and abstractions from her experiences. Some of her experiences seemed familar while a larger portion were not as concrete. I could see how large organizations profit from her holositic view of change.
I'm sure her wisdom should not dismissed. I've read Jack Welch's books and reflected on the quantifiable and scientific approach to change and can see objective change can appeal rationally; however, Ms Duck seems to have produced change through insight and dramatic effects a vast range of companies and types. She seems to have a gift for perception and insight into the inner dynamics of the people that make change happen in a company. Duck hand holds her clients through change stages and comforts them by imparting wisdom that allows her client to see a "better way". This "better way" seems to have dynamic impacts on the production of the company. Once the barriers are removed the company matures and reaches fruition.
Good advice but plodding.......2003-02-15
I disagree with some of the other reviewers who say that the book is a good read. I felt that I didn't know where the book was going a lot of the time. When all was said and done, I was glad to be finished (sometimes I really had to push myself to keep going), but I did learn a lot about change management.
The Textbook on Human Emotions.......2002-06-17
The human nature lies in the very base of any organization. That is why organizations, including business ones, tend to behave like humans. Along their lives they pass through different stages, like stagnation, understanding the necessity of change, the transformation and either back to the stagnation or upward to the new level of consciousness or efficiency. However, very few books on the market consider the transformation process from the "human" point of view. That is from the prospective of human emotions. Ms. Duck is to be sincerely thanked for the attempt to close the gap.
The book shows that the emotions do really matter in the process of changes, and can easily abrupt the transformation, as well as make it successful. Interestingly, many consultants yet fail to recognize this obvious fact and prefer to deal with charts rather then with people and their complicated behavior. The author points out that the process of changes is somewhat constant to any business structure in the modern world - another conventional truth, which is often forgotten by CEOs and business leaders.
Meanwhile, the book fails to show how particular managing techniques help to resolve emotional problems on each stage of transformation. The examples from "real life" are somewhat chaotic and case studies are not well organized around the central idea (if there is any?). It is not clear what is the point of each particular story, including the glimpses of the author's biography in the beginning of some chapters and the end of the book.
That is why I would consider the book "a textbook", rather than "a manual" which can give you a systemic view on transformation and a set tools to deal with the process. For these purposes a reader is kindly advised to address to "Creative Destruction", a book written by direct competitors of Jeanie Duck - two McKinsey consultants. The other point of concern is that the author overemphasizes the role of an external consultant. Such an approach depreciates the value of the expertise brought into the book and gives an impression that Ms. Duck's judgments are biased ("you tend to fail if you don't follow a consultant's advice", the book's bottomline).

Book Description
Why do we laugh? The answer, argued Freud in this groundbreaking study of humor, is that jokes, like dreams, satisfy our unconscious desires. The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious explains how jokes provide immense pleasure by releasing us from our inhibitions and allowing us to express sexual, aggressive, playful, or cynical instincts that would otherwise remain hidden. In elaborating this theory, Freud brings together a rich collection of puns, witticisms, one-liners, and anecdotes, which, as Freud shows, are a method of giving ourselves away.
Translated by Joyce Crick.

El humor sabe y huele a nosotros.......2006-06-26
Siempre he tenido muy en cuenta el sentido del humor de las personas. Y creo que detrás del sentido del humor está el sentido del interior. Algunas personas tienen el sentido del humor más agudo, pero esto no quiere decir que todos no tengamos un lado humorístico. En este libro FREUD habla como perfectamente lo resume el título de su libro, sobre el humor y su relación con el subconsciente. Qué nos motiva a hacer un chsite, qué hay detrás de un comentario mordaz, los chistes que tienen un propósito específico. Los chistes hostiles, los obscenos... "Jokes lies in technique".
Jokes are not a joke.......2005-10-30
For Freud jokes were not just fooling around, not primarily a means of play, not in short something of trivial importance. Rather they were expressions of our deepest instinctual drives and needs. Like errors in everyday life they are governed by an inner intentionality, and purposiveness.
Here it might be said that Freud exaggerates or is too extreme in his point- of- view and does not explain all humor by it.
Book Description
Brilliant, perceptive work by founder of psychoanalysis remains one of the essential studies of the psychology of wit and jokes. Freud analyzes wit, probes its origins in the "pleasure mechanism," demonstrates parallels of wit to neuroses, dreams and psychopathological acts. This is one of the great analyst's most accessible, enjoyable works.
Customer Reviews:
As brilliant as his "The Interpretation of Dreams"........1996-12-26
Found Freud in your search? You are no amateur or you are a real explorer of unkown lands. Even a beginner with Freud can enjoy this brilliant analysis of the fun behind wit and jokes. Don't think knowing why things are funny will reduce your pleasure in them....far from it, you will understand yourself and others better, you will find added sparkle in wit and discover the land mines hidden in the tall grass of laughter. Though not for the linguistically challenged, Freud richly rewards the determined reader. Take him on

Book Description
THIRTY YEARS WITH FIGHTING DOGS GEORGE C. ARMITAGE. Originally published 1935, USA, this is a reprint of a fascinating historical document about fighting dogs. The original is very rare, expensive and much sought after by dogmen and collectors, both for its rarity and the information contained within. "Thirty Years With Fighting Dogs" is a look at the sport of dog fighting in the early 20th century through the eyes of George Armitage, an acknowledged master of the game. It contains 55 rare photographs including Galvin's Pup, John Noonan's Brandy, Tanner, Shipley's Pearlie, Saddler's Bozo, Dugan's Pat and many more. Many famous battles are related. The contents also include articles on Schooling a Young Dog, Selecting a Dog for Pit Purposes, Armitage's Rules, Sample Contract, Armitage's Keep, Feeding and Breeding. A fascinating look at a vanished era.

Primary Source on Dog-Fighting History.......2007-07-22
The book was originally published in 1935 as an infomercial for one man's fighting dogs with emphasis on disparaging his competitors. I read it as background for a book I am writing, and it was helpful for that purpose.
The book does effectively dispel the myth that dog fighting used to be a sport of respectable gentlemen conducted at wholesome family cook outs; the first hand accounts are basements and barns, hiding from the police, with people carrying guns and using them. It was interesting to note that many of the best dogs between 1900 and 1930 were English bull terriers or Boston Terrier crosses, not pits; and that the first fight Armitage ever saw was a Colby dog that quit against a backyard mix.

BRILLIANT!!!, SOME SAY BIASED BUT THIS MAN TELLS THE TRUTH,HE OBVIOUSLY LIVED IN A DANGEROUS ERA AND PARTICIPATED IN A DANGEROUS SPORT, BUT WHAT HE RECOUNTS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
A look to the past........2007-03-03
This book is a collectors item.For it's fotos of some great old time Pit Fighting Dogs.On the other hand the story's told on it lack a bit of flavor.The thing that got to me is that even do this book is form the early 1900's.Some times it felt like it was wright'en on the past decade.In all I realy recomend this,but only to the people how are willing to learn the truth of this great breed.
THirty Years of Fighting Dogs, by George Armitage.......2007-02-23
Enjoyable reading about the ancenstry of a remarkable breed, the American Pit Bull Terrier. Historical photos (many are poor quaility) of world renowned fighting dogs of their day. Historical accounts of matches from the by-gone days of gentlemen matching game dogs.
Using information acquired in this book, I was able to trace my dog's ancestry back to 1845.
A necessary addition to the library of any American Pit Bull Terrier lover who understands the breed's heritage.
I won't do this again.......2006-09-17
While I enjoy reading even the darker side of one of my favorite breeds, this book did nothing for me. There is so much more to be expected from these dogs but not by people like this tending to their futures.
Book Description
From renowned time management consultant Donald Wetmore comes The Productivity Handbook, a guide for the overworked and overwhelmed.
The Productivity Handbook reveals how true productivity doesn’t mean doing more things faster. It means being more effective–and this requires better ways of prioritizing your time, communicating with others, and absorbing information. In this concise and entertaining book, Wetmore offers powerful tips and techniques in these three areas:
Time
–includes making short- and long-term plans, managing multiple priorities, and overcoming procrastination
Information
–includes shrinking your inbox, writing effective notes, and improving your memory
Communication
–includes networking, public speaking, and having efficient meetings
Dr. Donald J. Wetmore is the founder of the Personal Productivity Institute, an organization that teaches productivity tools and techniques to participants at major corporations including J.P. Morgan Chase, General Electric, and Duracell. A member of the National Speakers Association, Wetmore is frequently featured in the New York Times, the Boston Globe and on PBS. He is also an attorney and an adjunct professor in the MBA program at Mercy College, New York.

Fresh Perspectives on Basic Principles.......2005-09-21
Up front, three key points. First, this is a handbook. Wetmore wrote it to be taken in hand and, once its contents have been absorbed and digested, put to practical use. Second, he brings some fresh perspectives to core concepts (about time, information, and communication) which have been been around for thousands of years. Third and finally, this book and any of the other excellent books which cover much of the same material are essentially worthless if those who read them do not make [begin italics] and then sustain [end italics] a long-term commitment to continuous improvement while using the tips, tools, and techniques recommended.
Wetmore immediately and correctly stresses the importance of having a balanced life built on a sturdy foundation. What does that mean? That for most people, attention, time, and effort are like a currency which should be spent, over time, almost equally within seven areas: physical health, family, financial, intellectual, social, professional, and spiritual. Appropriate balance depends upon appropriate proportionality. Hence the importance of establishing priorities prior to the allocation of resources. To some people, having a "rich" spiritual life is far more important than material wealth. To others, many of them academics and artists, the intellectual area is most important. Of course there are always trade-offs and compromises. Wetmore is right: "A deficit in one area [e.g. physical health] can and does affect every aspect of your life." He seems to agree with Jack Canfield and others that the first "rule for success" in life is to know what you want. Only then can you select the appropriate tips, tools, and techniques. Only then will the inevitable sacrifices required to obtain what you really want seem well worth it. Of course, attitude also plays a decisive role. I am again reminded of Henry Ford's observation: "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right."
Wetmore organizes his material within four Parts: Time, Information, Communication, and The Big Picture. Throughout his book, Wetmore maintains a personal, conversational relationship with his reader as he does everything he can to share what he has learned about productivity; more accurately, about more effective and more efficient production. (Note: Dropping a 2,000-pound block of granite on a fire ant would be effective but not be efficient.) I commend him on his clever use of chapter titles which are both appropriate and thought-provoking. For example: Putting Off Procrastination (Chapter 5), Delegate the Shirt Off Your Back (7), Whatshisname (13), Blah Rather Than Blah, Blah, Blah (18), and A Big Small Talker (22). Think of the tips, tools, and techniques introduced earlier as pieces of a puzzle (in the shape of a pyramid) which Wetmore helps his reader to assemble in the final chapter. He then provides a Resources section which contains additional aids related to productivity. They include a Time Log which captures "snapshots" of specific moments during a normal day. (Please see the example on pages 284-285.) Wetmore offers several practical suggestions as to how to derive the greatest benefit from use of a Time Log. He also discusses a Crisis Management Log and a Life Improvement Chart. (Please see pages 294-297.) He concludes with an exercise to be completed by his reader. This exercise is best revealed within Wetmore's narrative.
Obviously, I highly admire what Wetmore accomplishes in this book but feel obliged to conclude this brief commentary on it by asserting once again: this book and any of the other excellent books which cover much of the same material are essentially worthless if those who read them do not make [begin italics] and then sustain [end italics] a long-term commitment to continuous improvement of the tips, tools, and techniques they recommend.
A great motivational tool!.......2005-08-20
I purchased this book because of its small size, knowing nothing of the author--just needed a time management tool or a refresher of the basics. It was just what I needed this week. In fact I was so busy putting most of the suggestions to work that I haven't finished it yet. I highly recommend this book!
