Average.......2000-12-10

The book goes into a lot of detail describing the format and styles of various business correspondence, but it is written in a very technical manner. Hard to use as a quick reference.

Marvelous!.......2000-08-11

As an Executive Secretary, one of my tasks is to write documents. So I decided to buy a book that helped me to write documents in a professional and concise way. Thanks to God that one of my co-workers recommended this book to me. It is a marvelous and an essential book for all type of businesses.

An essential book for every office!.......2000-08-10

This is an excellent book for every office. As an Executive I have to write a lot of important documents for my customers, and this book has helped me to obtain more knowledge and attract more customers in a professional way.

Are you working from a home computer right now? Would you prefer to work from home? If so, consider getting The Underground Guide to Telecommuting, one of the livelier and more irreverent guides to telecommuting. I've telecommuted on-and-off since 1989, so I can honestly say that Leonard discusses most of the important bases: setting up a good workspace, establishing reliable telecommunications, and, most importantly, dealing with zoning boards, the postal service, bosses, your neighbors, and even the IRS.

As an interesting aside, I was struck by the playful, and conversational writing style of this book. I have often noted that people's writing changes when working from home - in part because of the greater freedom, sleep deprivation from enjoying working too much -- and not having anyone to talk to!

Woody's Leading the Pack - Outa Town!.......2001-07-22

The 1st tellecumiting guide, the ONLY one from an author running a giga-business from home... In his signature toungue-in-cheek practical style, Woody Leonard lays out the benefits & pitfals of telecommuting. His true experiences alone are worth the price - Mr. Leonard runs this business and successful web-site, (...), from his home. I'm following his advice as I set up my in-home consulting - so my opinion is also based on practical experience. The book is a bit dated in its recommendations for equipment, but the principals hold true! I found the book by asking a professional e-mail list for recommendations - 100% of the 20+ responses recommended this book, and I recommend it without reservstion - 100%!!

Good Overview on Engineering.......2002-05-08

I originally bought this book awhile ago to get an idea on what engineering was and what I might expect as an engineer and it was really helpful. Recommended to all future engineers.

More of a general overview.......2002-04-17

This book is more of a general overview of the experiences of several engineers rather than an exact how to book. While interesting, the reader may be dissappointed to find that it is not as practically applicable as the title suggests.

I was disappointed........2004-06-19

This was probably a very helpful book indeed soon after its copywright date of 1988. However, a lot has changed since then and the book badly needs updating.

Book Description

Written by authorities on the call center industry, Cases in Call Center Management brings to light the strategic importance of call centers in today's business world. While large corporations have explicit call centers, small organizations, even if they do not designate a part of the organization as a call center, due to changing attitudes toward customer service, in practice have call centers. As interactions with customers move away from person-to-person to other interactive media options, the call center is emerging from the shadows to become a vital force for corporate marketing and communication. Cases in Call Center Management covers the gamut of topics by examining real call centers in action and how managements at those centers have dealt with key call center issues.

Book Description

In contrast to the traditional view of multinational firms as cohesive rational actors maximizing the use of resources across national boundaries, the contributors to this volume argue that they are complex social arenas where competing groups draw on resources from their own socially-embedded locations in developing new transnational social relationships. As firms seek to manage across national and institutional boundaries, they stretch their existing capacities and routines and develop new sets of transnational social relationships through different groups competing and cooperating. These processes occur at a number of levels which are explored in different empirical settings. Firstly, at the level of governance, multinational firms may develop conflicts between investors from different national contexts, e.g. between the arms-length orientation of Anglo-Saxon institutional investors and the more committed orientation of investors in certain European and Asian contexts. The tension between opening the firm up for foreign investors in order to have access to more and cheaper capital and the consequent effects on management strategy is explored in a number of chapters. Secondly, at the level of coordinating activities across different sites, multinationals may encourage competition between plants in different countries as well as seeking to transfer best practices. The result may be pressure on managers and employees in certain plants to give up traditional practices and employment rights. Thirdly, multinational firms operate in environments where other forms of coordinating international business activity may also occur, e.g. cartels or the creation of international regulatory activity. They therefore compete for the regulatory space in complex political environments that will enable them to prosper.
