good overview of EDI.......2005-09-21

This book gives a good overview of EDI. The main standards are explained quiete well and we can then get a good understanding of the EDI world.
At some points this book would need to get updated but it is fine as a first reading.

Comprehensive: a real A to Z.......2005-01-27

This author writes from experience, not theory. It is obvious from some of the tips and techniques that are offered that Nahid has been there done that. I have attended many of her speaking engagements and she really knows her stuff. The book is a great guide for management and also offers some level of technical guidance for the techies. I highly recommnend it. I am going to buy her new book!!

Common Knowledge.......2003-01-24

Jilovec says it is difficult to implement EDI. As it turns out, the difficulty is not with EDI per se. EDI is for exchanging business documents (orders, invoices, etc.) between companies. The challenge is to get the companies to agree on the format of the material they will exchange, and to organize the development process. Anyone who has experience programming this kind of application in any language will be familiar with most of what this book tells you. This book is overpriced for what it teaches. The good news is that I now understand what EDI is about.

Why is this book good?.......2002-02-18

Covers everything about Electronic Data Interchange. It is well organized, showing incoming EDI data and out going EDI data. Each EDI Software step is explained using the Pyramid approach: Communications, Translation, Interface, and Application.

The book looks small but the information inside is powerful. The Author is very knowledgeable in this subject.

Highly Recommended!!!.......2002-01-22

If you have trouble understanding what EDI is all about, then you need to read this book.

Good prep for people who want to work there.......2003-04-12

I wonder why an ex-Morgan Stanley employee would bother buying a report on the company. Could it be that this person really works for Vault? hmm. I thought this guide was really useful, especially if you don't know anyone who works there and want to know what it's really like and how to best prep for your interview.

Clear and Concise.......2003-03-07

The investment banking industry has been so hard hit that I wondered if it was a good idea to even consider it coming out of my MBA program. But Morgan Stanley among others has always had a solid reputation on the Street, and so I remain undeterred in trying to get a job either there or at another comparable firm. This guide is a good one for someone with my goals. I am feeling much more up to the job of landing an internship there. I understand better now what it's going to take and what I'm going to get out of working at MS. I really enjoyed the read. It was clear and concise. It cut through all the fat and got right to the meat of the matter in what I'd say is just the right amount of pages. I certainly don't have the time or inclination to read a tome on MS--as i've seen other company guides floating out there do. Rather, I like that this guide boils it down and tells me just what I need to know.

disappointing.......2001-10-21

As a former Morgan Stanley employee, I found this report was disappointing and out of date. A more useful report on Morgan is the Vault.com 2002 Guide to Morgan Stanley

Managing Scientists Leadership Strategies in Research and Development

Alice M. Sapienza

"I found . . . this book to be exciting . . . Speaking as someone who has spent 30 years grappling with these issues, I certainly would be a customer." -Robert I. Taber, PhD Senior Vice President of Research & Development Synaptic Pharmaceutical Corporation

In today's climate of enormous scientific and technologic competition, it is more crucial than ever that scientists involved in research and development be managed well. Often trained as individual researchers, scientists can find integration into teams difficult. Managers, from both scientific and nonscientific backgrounds, who are responsible for these teams frequently find effective team building a long and challenging process.

Managing Scientists offers strategies for fostering communication and collaboration among scientists. It shows how to build cohesive, productive, and focused teams to succeed in the competitive research and development marketplace.

This book will help any manager to:
* Build focused teams while promoting individual achievement
* Increase productivity, creativity, and innovative thinking
* Communicate effectively with the group and the organization at large
* Address the "human" side of scientists and science

Managing Scientists contains case histories, offers valuable insight into organizational culture, and is written in a clear, readable style. It effectively balances theory with real-world examples to provide a stimulating and practical guide to managing researchers for the scientist and nonscientist alike.

Do not buy this digital version if you want a complete book. In chapter 3, all the figures are missing because the images are not available in this electronic edition. I don't have much experience with ebook, but from this experience, I would never purchase another ebook because I would never know whether I would be getting a full version of the book. This is an equivant of the paying for a book where an entire chapter is missing. Your money would be well spent to purchase a hardcopy.

Book Description

Under the system of microcredit, very small amounts of credit are given to communities in the Third World to enable them to invest in new business. The World Bank has adopted microcredit, promoting it as gender-focused development and a practical means for the emancipation of the world's poor.

Heloise Weber challenges the effectiveness of microcredit and questions whether it can help achieve poverty alleviation, human security and, ultimately, human emancipation. The author defines what microcredit is and explains how it works. She traces the development of the top-down approach to microcredit, from its introduction as a policy of the Grameen Bank, through its early application among women in Bangladesh, to the MICROCREDIT Summit in Washington that established its adoption by the World Bank as a key strategy in the alleviation of global poverty. Weber exposes the true beneficiaries of the minimalist microcredit system as the private finance sector, not the world's poor. Throughout, she highlights the political implications of microcredit, which have largely been ignored

Excellent Resource for International Trade Professionals and Newcomers.......2005-07-17

Foley's book, The Global Entrepreneur, is an excellent resource for anyone interested in international trade, and the multi-faceted considerations one must give to the endeavor. It is particularly helpful to those interested in export sales, and marketing, with an insightful view to a variety of approaches a business person can take to the marketplace. The book addresses Self-assesment and Market Research, Business Preparation and Developing Global Partners, Logistics and Finance, and Sustaining Success. Foley successfully demystifies global business, and walks the business person with an interest in global markets from the idea stage through to long-term customer relationship management. This is a great read.

Perfect.......2003-04-14

Exciting, inspiring, motivating, encouraging, helpful, informative, clear, comprehensible, easy to read. Excellent book!!! Knowledge, experience, and passion towards discussed topics just shines through every page. Written in a easy to understand language, the book is a perfect aid to not only beginning exporters/importers, but also experienced ones. Lexicon doesn't belittle reader's mental abilities by chewing on every elementary detail; at the same time it doesn't bombard anybody by heavy concepts and trade jargon. Author uses great approach to delivering information - logical, clear and ordered.

The best ýHow-Toý book Iýve found on international sales.......2003-02-27

Mr. Foley takes it right from the start - from solid information on whether to even consider making international sales, all the way through to direct foreign investment. Along the way he provides detailed examples, reference materials, and a number of excellent resources that take the mystery out of international sales.

Perhaps most importantly, this is not a regurgitation of MBA material on the subject - Mr. Foley has directly relevant experience, having spearheaded international expansions earlier in his career and now advising companies on how to achieve their global potential.

This is an excellent reference that our company continues to use as we expand to new markets globally and work to increase our share in markets we're already addressing.

Excellent.......2002-03-01

This is an excellent source for everything from foreign market evaluation to the documentation for your first sale. Well written and enjoyable to read. While startng out in the game of global enterprise, I have a lot of questions. The questions are being answered, plus all the ones I didn't know I needed to ask. The book excites me to pursue the markets. Before hand I thought it would frighten or discourage me, reading about all the work and risk involved. It was encouraging to hear that international business is where to see the world and its cultures, not just a way to increase profits. I plan to use this book as the guide when our company goes global.

Global Entrepreneur Excellent Introduction to Global Arena.......2001-12-03

As a newcomer to the "world of global business," I was searching for one resource that would quickly build my understanding of the various aspects of the international arena. I was thrilled to discover The Global Entrepreneur, by James Foley. This book covers everything from basic definitions to the broad issues of "how," "why," and "when" to go global, while also providing solid information on specific topics such as logistics, marketing, relationship building, strategic planning, and using the internet.
And it accomplishes all this in an informal, easy to read and understand style. Mr. Foley writes in a conversational manner, taking information that could be quite dry and boring, and making it interesting and exciting. As an added benefit, the book also includes numerous other resources to enhance your research and exploration of the global arena.
The Global Entrepreneur offers a wealth of information and is a practical resource/reference book for anyone involved in, or becoming involved with, global business.
