Good for unfair competition--not so for intellectual property.......2005-10-02

I purchased this one after a brief flip-through, thinking it presented a good overview of intellectual property law woven through a framework of unfair competition law.

That's not the right way to describe this book. It's really a nutshell about unfair competition law (the foreword reveals that the book used to be called "Unfair Trade Practices in a Nutshell"). Intellectual property law is discussed, but only inasmuch as it relates to unfair competition law. Lots of IP is left out--the section about patents, for instance, says very little about best mode, statutory bar, and other basic concepts, other than defining them in a sentence or two.

While this is still a useful guide for business lawyers and law students, the title is very misleading. If you want a decent guide to IP, get the other nutshell on intellectual property.

Has A Great Title.......2005-07-23

If only the author stuck to what he proposed he would deliver, this would have been a great book... all a reader is expecting to get is practical mail order businesses they can start. The estimated profits to be made from some of the ideas are just too impractical, and yes ridiculous! You can tell he is just guessing his way to the end of this book.

NO help.......2005-04-04

Sorry must agree with the rest of the folks here. He is all into selling his other products. A shame he didn't care enough about those buying this book. Greedy...and I don't think his products are all that original...

Just one big ad.......2004-05-23

I thought this book was good in the first couple of pages, then I started noticing a pattern of the author selling his other products. This is not very informative it loses everything by the time you get into it. Save your money or buy another book.

An Incredible DISAPPOINTMENT.......2003-09-26

I was really hoping to find information on starting a mail order business and instead found information on subscribing to Mr. Hick's newsletter OR purchasing his kits. The ideas presented were very brief and not enough information to start anything. DO NOT BUY

How to become a good seller.......2002-09-20

In my opinion the book was useful, except for the end of each chapter (and the end of the book) when Mr. Hicks tries to covince people to buy a book, a kit or a subscription to one of his newsletters. Also most of the time Mr. Hicks impresses people (at least that is what he thinks or wants) with all his fortune and his yacht. If I had read another book, would I have stated that it was useful to me?.

Book Description

The “corporate campaign” has evolved into one of the more negative and destructive anti-corporate actions that can be taken against a business or high-profile organization. Labor activists, out of frustration with typical bargaining approaches, originally developed the technique. It first appeared as an identified strategy in the 1960s in an organizing campaign against J. P. Stevens, a textile manufacturer in the South. Today most activist organizations, NGOs, and religious activists use, participate in, or sanction such tactics. Corporate campaigns are part of a large and growing worldwide anti-business attitude. The key concept is to publicly humiliate, denigrate, and embarrass the organization and those who lead it. In this insightful monograph Mr. Lukaszewski describes corporate campaigns: what they are, how they work, who conducts them, typical activist tactics, corporate behaviors that trigger attacks, Alinsky's rules, and corporate preparation and response.

Book Description

In todayÆs turbulent business environment, the conventional bases of competitive strategy are increasingly being eroded. In such an environment, the ability to generate and acquire new knowledge is becoming an essential prerequisite for success. This emerging paradigm of business treats knowledge and learning as the singular basis not only for competitive success, but also for corporate survival. Most books on the subject adopt either one of two mutually exclusive approachesùthe first places emphasis on learning as an activity internal to the organization, while the second views learning as a resource to be leveraged by the organization. In Competing Through Knowledge, the first to emanate from India on the subject, Dr. Madhukar Shukla integrates both these approaches and focuses not only on how organizations learn, but also on how they can (and do) use knowledge and learning as strategic weapons to transform their operating paradigms. Beginning with a discussion on the radical changes taking place in the Indian business environment and the need for Indian organizations to develop learning capabilities, the first part of the book provides a framework to understand the dynamics of knowledge-based competition. The second part details six case studies of organizations that have encouraged learning and have utilized knowledge as a competitive asset. Generalizing from these cases, which also serve as benchmarks, the third and last part discusses the architecture of a learning organization and the qualitative shift required in the organization paradigm. Illustrating the ideas and concepts with real-life examples and case studies, including several from India, this book demonstrates the applicability of the new paradigm of the learning organization in the changing Indian business environment. This extremely readable book will appeal to CEOs, practicing managers, human resource professionals, and management consultants. It will also serve as supplementary reading for courses on the learning organization, strategic management, and organizational change.

An Essential Guide to Managing Learning Times.......2000-04-03

Dr. Madhukar Shukla has been referred to as the "indian guru of the learning organisation" and in this book he shows why. Drawing on the theories of giants, he builds up a case for managing in the times when the capital (the K in economics) is Knowledge and vastly different from the traditional capital. As an entity knowledge is tacit and proprietary and as it becomes more explicit it becomes freely available. It is Dr. Shukla's contention that like truth, "knowledge will out" and it makes no sense for organizations to try to put locks on its mobility. Why like truth?...knowledge is truth!

With the examples of case studies of organisations like ABB, British Airways, GE, Citicorp and Xerox , Dr. Shukla shows us how successful corporations around the world are recognising this fact and are trying innovative ways to leverage this capital for competitive advantage...to turnaround themselves, to transform and to innovate.

What makes this book doubly enjoyable, is that it steers as clear of dobbledegook management jargon as much as possible..and when the author has to resort to jargon, they are suitably explained in lay terms. Coupled with examples strewn throughout the book, the often esoteric theories start to make startling sense and sock you between the eye. This book is a must read to all professionals and management people of all hues!

Finally a good business text!.......2002-03-25

Microsoft Press has always produced books about Microsoft's products, but rarely has a book been produced about how and WHY you should be using them. Also, it doesn't spend all of its time selling you - it actually shows great strategies and how to apply technology to them. Keep it up!

B2B through Microsoft's Eyes.......2002-03-12

This book presents B2B e-commerce through the eyes of Microsoft. It is not a technical book on the architecture to use to conduct B2B instead a business strategy book. However, it does present three case studies on B2B technical (.NET) architectures to use. In particular the servers : Windows 2000, Commerce Server , sql server and Biztalk.
The focus of the book is the business case for implementing B2B for any small or large company. The core of this is the ability of the technical (.NET) architecture to increase revenue or decrease costs. B2B and in particular procurement can lead to increased sales ( instant globalised company due to the global nature of the internet) and cheaper procurement costs through automation of buying processes.
The book is a business book that is able to justify the technical infrastructure needed for implementing a B2B solution. Most Microsoft Press books have historically been technically focused. This book breaks away from that tradition and is amost in the format of a Harvard Business School Press book. However, this is still an element of technical focus through the case studies presented.

Book Description

Japan and Okinawa provides an up-to-date, coherent and theoretically informed examination of Okinawa from the perspective of political economy and society. It combines a focus on structure and subjectivity as a way to analyze Okinawa, Okinawans and their relationship with global, regional and national structures. The book draws on a range of disciplines to provide new insights into both the contemporary and historical place of Okinawa and the Okinawans.
The first half of the book examines Okinawa as part of the global, regional and national structures which impose constraints as well as offer opportunities to Okinawa. Leading specialists examine in detail topics such as Okinawa as a frontier region, Okinawa's Free Trade Zones and response to globalization, and Okinawa as part of the Japanese 'construction state', being particularly concerned with how Okinawa can chart its own course. The second half focuses on questions of identity and subjectivity, examining the multitude of vibrant cultural practices that breathe life into the meaning of being Okinawan and inform their social and political responses to structural constraints.
The originality of this book can be found in its elucidation of how the structural constraints of Okinawa's precarious position in the world, the region and as part of Japan impact on subjectivity. For many Okinawans, in the past as now, acceptance and rationalization of their dependency has made them collaborators in their own subordination. At the same time, however, they have demonstrated a capacity to give voice to a separate identity, inscribing cultural practices marking them as different from mainland Japanese.

Book Description

Economic principles can sometimes seem inaccessible. This jargon-free text is designed to help the non-specialist understand why these principles are important and how they are driving events in the world today. Special attention is given to establishing the importance of economics in the context of global changein the real world. Key theories are illustrated in comtemporary settings and explained in non-technical language. The book will be particularly useful to those who are new to economics and whose interest goes beyond the national economy.

I was gratified to read this guide as it's made me that much more prepared as I start thinking about what I need to do to snag an internship at CSFB. I liked how in-depth the front of the book was in chronicling the company's merger and the subsequent ups and downs the company has been going through. I feel more convinced that this company is a good fit with my goals and aspirations. I enjoyed the insider insights on what's great and what's not so hot at CSFB. And I really appreciated the in-depth info on the recruiting and training of associates and analysts who get into CSFB. As I'm fluent in 2 languages other than English, I'm definitely looking for a place such as CSFB that will call that into action and give me the chance to live abroad.
