Book Description
In Privatization in the City, E .S. Savas comprehensively examines the evolution and implementation of former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's aggressive privatization program in the face of a city council generally hostile to privatization. Savas identifies, examines, evaluates, and documents all forms of privatization employed, including contracting, competitive sourcing, divestment, leases, vouchers, franchises, default, withdrawal, and voluntarism. He contrasts these efforts in New York with privatization in several other cities across the country, ranging from Indianapolis to Phoenix. After analyzing the costs and benefits--both quantitative and qualitative--of New York's privatization program, Savas concludes that significant savings were achieved during Giuliani's eight years in office.

Excellent Resource Book.......2005-04-05
For anybody in the construction, engineering, design, or code enforcement/verification fields this book is a must. It is an excellent reference & resource book with tons of valuable information.
Formating changes make this a challenging book to read.......1998-11-07
1. The overwhelming amount of format changes since '94 edition were unnecesary and confusing. Reference books such as these need a standardized format to allow for easier access to information. 2. Removal of many convenient tables and charts make this book less useful. 3. Calculations too complex to be of practical use. Complexity will certainly lead to errors.

Book Description
This book examines the effect of post-Soviet transitions on current problem solving trends with regards to world capitalism. The fall of Soviet communism left liberal capitalism as the dominant blueprint from which to construct economic development policies. Using Central Europe as an example it is shown that the application of the Western liberal-capitalist model has not been without its difficulties. This book endeavors to place the changes to the global political economy, since 1989, in a theoretical and historical context.

Book Description
The book's American and European authors consider four aspects of the transatlantic economic relationship and its future. Specifically, will conflict or cooperation dominate in the coming years? Will the growing interdependence of the two continents' economies heighten policymakers' mutual interests and encourage them to collaborate in the pursuit of common goals, or will competition lead to conflict and recrimination? And how will the post-war tradition of economic policy collaboration adapt now that the glue of a common Cold War enemy has dissolved? The emerging picture is one of problems, not crises. An undercurrent of economic conflict and tension has rarely prompted U.S. and European policymakers to fundamentally reform their bilateral relationship. These essays thus point to incremental rather than revolutionary changes. However, if U.S. and European officials neglect the problem areas, the transatlantic economic relationship could deteriorate. due to their neglect.

Book Description
In the service industry, maintaing and building good customer relations is essential. This book details the types of customer problems you may encounter in any service business but specifically a janitorial service.
It then suggests ways to best handle these problems and then make sure they do not happen in the future.
A janitorial contractor or any service provider must always realize that your clients are quality driven. Unless you have the cheapest service and they have decided to "grin and bear" poor quality in exchange for the low cost, you must have an edge over your competition. To do this, you have to become a customer service fanatic. Customer service and customer relations must always be paramount in your service and on your mind

Book Description
As the United States and Australia both enter an unprecedented tenth year of economic prosperity — with both countries enjoying low inflation, declining unemployment, and GDP growth rates of 3-4 percent — their commercial relationships remain wide-ranging and friendly. American company names are commonplace in the Australian market, and U.S. companies are Australia's largest source of investment (cumulative U.S. investment in Australia totaled over $100 billion through 1999). The U.S. maintained a trade surplus with Australia of $6.5 billion in 1999, or roughly the same level as in 1998. Australia is currently the 15 the largest destination for U.S. exports, just behind larger heavyweights such as Brazil and China.
American companies are attracted to the Australian market for its familiar institutions and quality infrastructure: a stable legal and political system, a common language, excellent communications and transportation infrastructure, a high living standard, and a sophisticated financial system to name a few. These factors have helped influence the decision of many U.S. companies to locate their regional centers in Australia.
Nonetheless, American exporters should be cautioned that while the Australian market has long recognized the quality and technological sophistication of U.S. products, Australian consumers and businesses are discriminating: they strive to buy the best product at the best price. Australians are quick to adopt high-tech products and services, evidenced by the extensive use of the Internet and the high penetration of cellular phones. On the other hand, they have shown themselves to be wary of purchasing goods over the Internet, although as consumers' fears regarding security are allayed, both the B2C and B2B markets should realize their great potential in the near future.
"Investment attraction" are likely to be key words for Australia in the year ahead. The individual states and regions are looking to take advantage of the high international exposure generated by the 2000 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sydney in September 2000 to boost investment from overseas investors. The United States, as Australia's top investment source, will be a prime target, particularly in the biotechnology and information technology sectors. Special briefings and networking events are scheduled during the Olympics to convince foreign businesspeople that Australia warrants their investment monies.
