From Abandonment to Hope: Community-Households in Harlem (Columbia History of Urban Life)

Book Description

Rather than solely concentrating on the technology of telecommunications, Carr and Snyder's The Management of Telecommunications: Business Solutions to Business Problems 2/e caters more to the needs of today's business students. Management Of Telecommunications is the ideal textbook for exposing students to all facets of being a telecommunications end-user. It stresses the importance of the managerial decision-making side of telecommunications by applying the use of an integrated continuing case to illustrate key concepts and show the decision process. This book will provide business students with the technical vocabulary, technical understanding, and decision-making ability necessary to be an effective business telecommunications manager.

Students using Carr and Snyder's book will lead the decision-making process by having an understanding of technology tradeoffs in relation to costs, marketing, customer service, and competition. Students will learn how telecommunications and telecommunications-intensive information systems, in particular, are part of the strategic, tactical, and operational decision processes of an organization.

Customer Reviews:

A terrific book at any price!.......2002-09-25

This book has some fantastic material in it. I am now teaching college. Whenever I get a chance to recommend a book, I always recommend my students use this book. It has a phenomenal section about telecommunication laws that is outstanding for using in lectures. It reads well, and is very helpful!

If I had a choice, I would not read this book........2001-01-11

As a beginner in the telecommunications field I was expecting something more simple and understandable.It is full of boring and unnecessary paragraphs, especially the ones in the blue windows.The book is very chatty and verbose.It is wasting my time. I was assigned this book at DeVry for a freshman telecommunications management course.The professor agrees that the book is written in a very complicated language. Every time he quotes the book, he stops to say: "Now, Let's translate this to English". If it was my decision, I would not choose this book for my class.

Great Text.......1999-08-25

Having taken the course that this book is for, I quickly learned the basics of Telecommunications. The author's designed the layout of the text to be an easy entry to this vast technical field. Each chapter is introduced with a general "story", sometimes several stories, that explains in layman's terms the overall concept. Then the text explains the information on a more technical level. Some of the information presented IS outdated but all of it is relevant. The authors included this "outdated" information to show just what has been accomplished in the arena of Telecom. But they also introduce some of what is to come. A "Thumbs Up" to both of the authors for publishing a great text.

Great for Intro to Business Communications.......1999-06-22

I did not have much previous knowledge of telecommunications and their use in the business world. I feel that this text is an excellent introduction for any executive or student who has no prior experience with this topic. It is well written and flows very well. It is written in a manner than anyone can take it and gain a world of knowledge about the telecom industry.

Not at all very friendly!.......1999-05-17

The book drags, it explains nothing. Its out dated, and very poorly written. Absolutely the worst book I ever had to read. Have sleeping disorders try reading a few pages of this book, it is the perfect sedative.

Book Description

This is a book for 21st Century leaders. The authors are offering approaches to reduce stress and to promote satisfaction at a time when this seems impossible for most people struggling to make sense of the workplace and its demands:

760f managers want to spend more time with their families
50ay they feel too mentally and physically exhausted to do anything but work or sleep
30ay their lives are out of control
one in five say they are too stressed to enjoy their lives at all

Many of the leadership skills (such as emotional intelligence, weak signal management, mental agility) that are key to success in today's corporate world are not taught in business schools, are rarely discussed by business academics, nor are they recognised within corporations as they recruit, promote and train their staff. Business conversation is all about the war for talent - and yet the solutions presented are all "outside-in" (i.e. what the corporation needs to do to ensure people stay, to "make" their values align, to retain them) rather than "inside-out" (i.e. alignment of individual's sense of purpose with how they spend their time, the fit of their skills to the demands of their job, and so on).

Alpha Leadership seeks to redress these imbalances.

The book is constructed around a new and simple model of leadership. The authors call this, 'Alpha leadership', which consists of three main axes: Anticipate, Align and Act. They have derived this model from their extensive experience of leadership development in the US and Europe, during a period of rapid adaptation to the digital economy. The authors argument is that traditional approaches to leadership, leadership as it is taught in the business schools and the criteria assigned to it by corporate promotion and appraisal systems, focus exclusively on 'action', and take little or no account of the crucial importance of anticipation and alignment. This is of increased concern since the skills most likely to generate success for leaders in today's networked, knowledge-based and unpredictable business environment are precisely those most often ignored.

This emphasis on action without its preliminaries of anticipation and alignment is also a paradox, since without effective anticipation and alignment, action is likely to be inefficient, ineffective, and unsustainable. The book is aimed at an "inside-out" view of leadership: starting with the individual and his/her sense of purpose and values, rather than the more typical approach to leadership writing which adopts an "outside-in" view, holding up models and examples of other leaders to emulate with little or no clue of how to go about doing so, or indeed whether or not this would be an appropriate model in the reader's specific context.

Alpha Leadership is designed as a pragmatic "how to" book, derived from the authors experience of one-to-one executive coaching - with tools, approaches and frameworks to support leaders in progressing in their careers, while also maintaining a sense of balance and purpose in their lives. Each chapter starts with a "parable" or story - a very readable analogy from completely different fields of study that is used to shed light on the issues and problems facing leaders in the business environment. The authors then move to a section on "sense making" (avoiding blue sky theorising in favour of practical, down-to-earth interpretation and real life business examples). Finally the authors include relevant tools/frameworks to help the readers apply what they have read in their every day business lives.

Customer Reviews:

a step ahead for who wants to lead in the new millennium.......2003-08-24

This book is an amazing merging of the experience , knowledge and wisdom of three experienced developers that gives the reader concepts, stories, tools and exercises to develop the type of skills any leader of this new millennium should own.
I believe that any Executive should have it and use it in his everyday activities and that the ones who help Executives in companies like HRD, coaches and facilitators should own the whole package for their greater results.
It's a very enjoyable book, a good manual that makes itself be read with interest, fun and ... action. We need more 'Alpha Leaders'!!!

This should become THE management book of 2002.......2002-07-06

Some talk about the emotional intelligence of leaders, others talk about level 5 leadership. This book focusses on what a leader should do in practice. It is written around a simple model I really like. It consists of 3 basic dimensions: Anticipate-Align-Act and 9 principles that come with these 3 dimensions of leadership. Anticipation requires that one can detect weak signals, has the agility to understand them and that the organization is flexible enough to respond. Align, the second dimension, is about assuring that the core purpose, values and beliefs of the organization are aligned with the actions of their leaders and their people. People's attitudes, values and the company culture need to be compatible with each other and this book lists attention areas and tools to increase this alignment. Finally, the third dimension has to do with acting fast enough, with attention for the 20% that makes the biggest difference and with the willingness to pursue goals with enough determination and patience. Simple as it seems, one wonders why so few leaders in companies apply this model today. I hope this book will be the stepping-stone some people need to become real "alpha leaders".

It's so well written that's irrelevant whether you have ever heard of NLP. When I wrote "7 Steps to Emotional Intelligence", I wanted to make my book accessible, helping people to develop a practical EQ, using the findings of behavioral sciences such as NLP. The authors of this book have done the same for the field of management, and I think they've done wonderful job! The result is a practical book that fits amongst the top business books, and I hope that Wiley will be able to put the needed marketing efforts behind it to turn this masterwork into a bestseller.

It's fully applicable by anyone leading an organization, so that doesn't leave many excuses for not being a good leader...

Book Description

We live in a constantly changing economy. Corporate reorganizations, new technologies and global competition affect all our lives. Workers today will hold many jobs and will change careers several times. Workers who keep up with change will see greater potential for personal growth and economic security.

One area of change is the way people look for work. It is not enough to be ready and willing to work. A successful job search today requires a very calculated effort. Job seekers not only need marketable job skills, they need the skills to market them. You may be motivated toward employment, and you may be good at what you do, but if you cannot convince a potential employer that you are the most qualified, you will not be the one who wins the job. Today's successful job seekers use a variety of skills and strategies that can be learned. While individual success may vary, proven benefits of mastering job search strategies include:

* Shorter time to achieve a new job * Increase in the number of interviews and job offers * Higher starting wage * Reduced fear of unemployment * Increase in potential for job satisfaction
