As a non-feminist, I found this book incredibly helpful!.......1999-06-14

I've been in management for 7 years. This is the first book I've found that offered practical information -- not just surface rhetoric -- about how to manage as a woman. Montgomery doesn't try to fit all women into one box, but instead suggests how to peel off the layers of a situation to get to the real problem. As a woman manager, I'm still in the minority at my office. This book made me feel more empowered. I find myself referring to this book frequently before I react to a situation. I've learned to be more open in managing, and patient in dealing with the daily pressures of a manager. I'd recommend this book to both my female and male colleagues.

Read this if you are a woman manager looking for excuses........1999-03-16

If you are a woman looking for a practical guide to help you be an effective supervisor/manager in today's work world, look someplace else. This book once again puts women in the position of being a victim. Montgomery writes about ways to compensate because we are women, which is to make us victims or to say we are otherwise handicapped and need special considerations. We aren't. And we don't. I was disappointed in Montgomery's book. There are some traits women have accepted as fact down through the years that are not inherent, just learned behavior. I was hoping Montgomery's book would identify some of those traits and talk about how to overcome them, not justify their continued use. I will not recommend this book to anyone. Which is sad because I want to support the efforts any woman makes to get a handle on this issue.

Can businesses collaborate with nonprofit organizations? Drawing lessons from 24 cases of cross-sector partnerships spanning the hemisphere, Social Partnering in Latin America analyzes how businesses and nonprofits are creating partnerships to move beyond traditional corporate philanthropy. An American supermarket and a Mexican food bank, an Argentine newspaper and a solidarity network, and a Chilean pharmacy chain and an elder care home are just a few examples of how businesses are partnering with community organizations in powerful ways throughout Latin America. The authors analyze why and how such social partnering occurs. The book provides a compelling framework for understanding cross-sector collaborations and identifying motivations for partnering and key levers that maximize value creation for participants and society.

Great Ideas.......2003-12-18

There are great ideas in this book to teach your kids about money. I purchased this book when my oldest daughter was only two years old after watching my teenage nieces and nephews struggle with money management. We follow many of the suggestions in this book and my oldest daughter now 7 is able to manage her money and understands the consequences of spending it all at once. She also learned a very important lesson when a clerk tried to talk her into buying more and putting it on lay-a-way. (She had save 70 Euro (like 84 US dollars) for a doll and the clerk suggested putting it on lay-a-way along with the accessories). I forbid it as this went against the whole idea of "saving." The next week the store went out of business. If she had caved in to her desires she would no longer have her favorite doll! Also after I purchase her initial school clothes, ballet clothes, winter gear etc... she pays for anything else she desires - so if she climbs trees and gets holes in her tights, looses a glove - she pays to replace them. This has been a great stress relief in our relationship - as this little tomboy likes to dress like a princess and ruin her fancy clothes. Now the ball is in her court and she's handling it well.

Practical, straight-forward and a very easy read.......1998-08-26

Boy was it a relief finally reading a book that was so full of common sense and good advice. I'll definately use this stuff with my 5-year old and 8-year old. I learned stuff too. Wish this had been around earlier -Icould have used this as a primer when I was getting started.

Book Description

CTR's new 200-page report details the battle between Microsoft and Netscape for dominance of the Internet and, therefore, of the computer industry. The report examines how this battle developed, the differences in their product lines, and each company's strategic plans for the future.

The Internet Phenomenon

The unprecedented growth of the Internet and the Web has left the computer industry without a clear leader. While Microsoft was continuing its dominance of the PC market, Netscape Communications Corp. quietly entered the browser arena with its Web browser, Netscape Navigator. Microsoft, the company that initially failed to realize the importance of the Internet, has found Netscape to be a significant competitor in this critical area.

CTR's new report, Microsoft Versus Netscape: The Battle for the Internet Infrastructure, examines the struggle between Microsoft and Netscape to become the leader of the Internet market and, therefore, of the computer industry. The report provides an analysis of the two companies and explains what Netscape must do to remain a viable competitor in the Internet arena.

Internet Strategies

CTR's report evaluates the strategies of both Microsoft and Netscape. Netscape's strategy is simple: Shift the current computing paradigm from the PC desktop, where Microsoft is strong, to the network, where Microsoft has less control. As the report explains, the key to Netscape's success will be to take advantage of Microsoft's few weaknesses.

Microsoft, the most influential software supplier in the world, has based its strategy on the dominance of the Windows operating system (OS). However, because networking and the Internet are becoming the focal point for application development, Microsoft has altered its strategy to include products designed to leverage its desktop dominance with the Internet.

Dueling Internet Products

Microsoft Versus Netscape: The Battle for the Internet Infrastructure provides a complete analysis of the Internet-related products of the two companies, focusing on the browsers: Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator. Other featured products include: Netscape's SuiteSpot Server Line, Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) and Proxy Server, Microsoft's Directory Service Systems, Netscape Navigator's Administration Kit, and Microsoft's Internet Chat.

The report examines the advantages and disadvantages of each company's products and explains how they fit into the overall company strategy.

In addition, the report covers critical issues such as browser security and hypertext markup language (HTML) support.

The Changing Computing Environment

The Internet is becoming the core foundation for many companies' applications because the programming model is simpler to implement and maintain than client/server (C/S) computing. Microsoft and Netscape must develop product lines so users and third parties will rely on their products to run complex, daily business applications on the Internet.

The report discusses the latest application development tools (ADTs) that will make the Internet transition possible and addresses the importance of delivering next-generation technology.

CTR's Microsoft Versus Netscape: The Battle for the Internet Infrastructure is an invaluable resource for those responsible for shaping and maintaining their company's computer infrastructure.

Book Description

This volume, now available in paperback, explores Malaysian business in the era that began with the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1999. The contributions, by a broad range of international experts, are informed by a wish to identify what Malaysia needs to do to sustain economic growth, remain internationally competitive and further social stability in the post-crisis period.

Malaysia's unconventional response to the crisis suggests that its business community has developed a new level of confidence in its ability to adopt and sustain innovative policies even when these strategies challenge the international financial community. This response is perceived as evidence that Malaysian business has indeed entered a new era characterized by a high level of confidence in the nation's capacity to weather the external periodic shocks that are a feature of the current wave of globalization. The book argues that there are grounds for optimism in this regard while recognizing that the true test will occur when Malaysia is compelled to confront a major decline in its international export markets brought on by a truly major crisis such as an OECD-wide recession.

Business scholars and professionals as well as readers interested in Asian business and economics will find this volume informative.

Book Description

The internationalisation of business has accelerated during the post-war period and particularly in the past decade. At the same time, research on international business has grown considerably. The early efforts in the 1950s have been followed by a vast number of research projects all over the world attempting to understand and explain the processes and problems of internationalisation. The aim of this book is to continue this task by providing critical perspectives on internationalisation and on internationalisation research.

Description:
This paper essentially examines the evolving dynamics of accountancy in former colonies. In this case, the author analyses the situation in Jamaica, particularly, since the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Jamaica (ICAJ) first attempt at localisation in the 1950s to early 1970s turned out to be a failure. The paper argues that this was due to the desire of the influential minority members of the ICAJ and the UK-based Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) to continue to enjoy their monopoly of accountancy market in Jamaica. Nonetheless, there was concerted effort to put in place an independent profession that would positively respond to the socio-political and economic problems of Jamaica. These efforts continued to be met with resistance due to the nature of the old colonial relationship with the ACCA which significantly affected the failure of the first attempt at localising the accountancy profession in Jamaica. Internally, the influential and powerful minority members of the profession could not be ignored as they preferred to remain loyal to the ACCA. On the other hand, developments in the UK led the ACCA to consider the abandonment of its dominating role in the ICAJ. This in effect, would have forced the ICAJ to deal with the independence in a complete and less ambivalent manner. The paper examines the developments which took place in the aforementioned context and adopts argues that these developments cannot be isolated or examined without situating them in the largely framework of capitalist and (neo)colonial processes, which govern these internal and external complexities. Based on the outcome of this investigation, the paper reinforces the previous conclusion that, the ability of the ICAJ to make fundamental changes to the status quo in its imperial Accountancy profession inherited from the UK-based ACCA continues to be constrained by these internal and external influences.
