Book Description

With the recent Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, public key cryptography, digital signatures, and digital certificates are finally emerging as a ubiquitous part of the Information Technology landscape. Although these technologies have been around for over twenty years, this legislative move will surely boost e-commerce activity. Secure electronic business transactions, such as contracts, legal documents, insurance, and bank loans are now legally recognized. In order to adjust to the realities of the marketplace, other services may be needed, such as a non-repudiation service, digital notary, or digital time-stamping service. The collection of these components, known as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), is paving the way for secure communications within organizations and on the public Internet.

5 out of 5 stars Handshakes.......2004-08-29

"Trust used to be all about a handshake - and nothing has changed..."

So begins Appendix F in Vacca's book. The entirety of the book defines that critical handshake, which has been made so much more complex by Internet freedom and opportunities. Layers of certification and handshaking, both online and offline, hashing, third parties, CA's.

Vacca includes costings, comparatives, definitions, implementation instructions, and white papers written by others with expertise in the area.

Previously a developer and implementor, and now a user, I wish that we had had this information then when we were implementing PGP, and I can only hope that my host sites now are compliant.

5 out of 5 stars E-Commerce users - feel secure!.......2004-07-19

As usual, John writes a very timely book on contemporary IT issues. Most people are still afraid to use their credit cards on the net and businesses have huge constraints in terms of what can and can't be done through the web. As the rules of the game toughen for the every-ready hacking minds, government are also cracking down on such culprits, however, for the average user of electronic commercial transactions, there needs to be a stronger feeling that their money is safe. John's PKI book helps to educate those with this understandable concern, that it may now be getting safer to do business on the net.

5 out of 5 stars Must read for IT Security Professionals.......2004-07-13

This book covers the entire spectrum of PKI technology with an emphasis on the pratical aspects of design,implementation and use. As an IT security professional, I have found this book to be extremely useful in my job as we must constantly be on guard and make use of the latest technology to stay one step ahead of the multitude of security threats we face on a day-to-day basis.

5 out of 5 stars Understanding PKI.......2004-07-12

To successfully transact business on the worldwide web, a secure network is essential. John Vacca's book explores public key infrastructures (PKIs)as a technology to provide that security. This book would be a good resource for anyone responsible for maintaining network security in big business or small.

5 out of 5 stars Must-have in Internet Industry!.......2002-06-18

This dictionary is fun and gorgeous! Great format: very light and ergonomic having over 500 pages of invaluable information! Clever design. Everyone in computer industry should have it on the desk, read it during lunch break, have it as a contemporary coffee-table book. You will learn something new even if you think you know all about it. It may open your eyes on terms you have used incorrectly. I am webdesigner with years of experience and I have always thought that "hacker" is a negative hero in the Internet jargon, but I was wrong according to Netlingo Dictionary... I believe that it's newest Net dictionary out there.

5 out of 5 stars A Handy, Accessible Guide for Every Computer User.......2002-06-06

The Netlingo dictionary gives me an enormous assortment of Internet, computing, telecom, and networking terms for reference. The definitions are written in a laid-back, conversational tone. It's as readable and friendly as you can get in this technical area, but it doesn't get condescending or cutesy. I wind up reading the surrounding terms after I've looked something up. I've recommended it to my parents because any computer user will benefit from having the dictionary as he or she moves up the learning curve. Plus, the chat acronyms, smilies, and assicons are hilarious ;-)

5 out of 5 stars The first NetLingo Review.......2002-05-10

NetLingo has become a wonderful resource for me in understanding what my 'web guys' are talking about. I am somewhat computer saavy, but sometimes get my cookies confused with my bytes. It is nice to finally have a reference beside my 14 year old nephew. I'm getting a copy today for my home office.

I payed for the new book; but the product that Amazon sent to me was not good because it looked like the used one without the American Hotel & lodging scantron. Usually, this scantron should come with the new book. I have called to customer service, however, nothing's going on.

2 out of 5 stars Good book, but not much help with pricing your services.......2004-03-09

I purchased the book and found it helpful in all other areas except pricing. Pricing is key and yet the authors brush over it very vaguely. In the book, the authers state that they can be reached for any additional information needed to price your services. I went to their website and have written several letters with no reply. So, go ahead and but don't expect the authors to deliver on additional support.

4 out of 5 stars very helpful.......2001-11-06

I could have not started my own mystery shopping company without this manual. My sister purchased this book for me as a gift because she thought I would be the perfect mystery shopper. I don't think she knew at the time that I would actually do it and I did!

5 out of 5 stars Great Resource to begin a business.......2001-05-01

I have read this book and am excited about starting my own business. The book is easy to understand and full of helpful ideas and forms to begin a business.

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to visit restaurants, retail stores and hotels while EARNING MONEY!! Thank you for writing this book.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent and easy to read business guide.......2001-04-10

And if you have questions the authors will gladly respond to them via email. You will get this information in their book.

                1 out of 5 stars This book totally misses the obvious!.......2003-11-09

                The author accords interest payments due 20 or 30 years in the future the exact same value as cash in hand today. It appears that there is NO time value for money.

                I don't disagree with the premise that many families are better served by prepaying their mortgages than by spending surplus family cash flow, but the Cunningham's "proof" of that wisdom is such a far fetched reach, that the entire book is not suitable for anyone wanting to understand the most basic concepts of money, finance and investing. It misleads the reader and denies the advantages of saving and investing money.

                A "proof" of the foolishness of the author's basic premise is this reader's intuitive answer to a hypothetical offer to accept employment from an employer today; but not to receive today's wages until 25 years in the future. No interest, no compounding; just payment of today's wages deferred until middle age.... No thanks.

                5 out of 5 stars A fresh prespective on managing your mortgage........1999-02-17

                A fresh perspective on managing your mortgage with thoughtful insights into home ownership. I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to make sense of their finances. Paying a mortgage can cost you more than you can afford if you also want to save for retirement. In this book you'll learn how to turn unproductive (lazy) debt into a hard working, asset building tool. You will also learn to free yourself from years of mortgage payments and how the money you would otherwise use for mortgage payments can build your retirement nestegg. READ THIS BOOK!

                    Book Description

                    Today, many corporations in Asia Pacific are seeking a new pattern for their philanthropic activities and have begun to increase their engagement in communities by working with nongovernmental organizations. NGOs in the region also are actively pursuing partnerships with corporations as they attempt to meet heightened expectations for the nonprofit sector to play a larger role in the welfare of society. This book examines several phenomena in the Asia Pacific region that have encouraged the formation of cross-sectoral partnerships-the evolution of civil society, changing corporate attitudes toward philanthropy and social responsibility, the impact of the financial crisis, and constraints on the public sector's ability to meet demands for social development. The ten case studies offer new perspectives on the rationale for forging links between the corporate and nonprofit sectors, and, in many cases, with the public sector as well. The experiences described in this book provide a unique and insightful look at the requirements of successful partnerships and the challenges that lie ahead. AUTHOR BIO: Tadashi Yamamoto is president of the Japan Center for International Exchange. Kim Gould Ashizawa is a freelance consultant and editor.

                      Book Description

                      This book provides an in-depth analysis of the management and investment strategies of Japanese multinational companies, examining foreign investment from a Japanese perspective by studying international business practices and the behaviour of multinational companies in the global environment. Beginning with an overview of recent trends in international capital flows and the role of international mergers and acquisitions, it describes the global environment for Japanese multinational companies as it affects Japanese foreign direct investment, as well as the impact of Japanese foreign investment in the host countries. The domestic cultural environment of Japanese companies is investigated, providing a background to the understanding of the expansion of Japanese business activities throughout the world. Foreign investments in various parts of the world are examined in detail, as are their impact on the domestic economy of Japan. A comprehensive analysis of the strategic planning process in Japanese multinational companies follows, and the book concludes with an assessment of the management and leadership styles of Japanese multinational companies and how they differ from Western leadership styles. This book is a valuable source of information about recent developments in the international economy in which Japan is playing a prominent role.

                        Book Description

                        Robert March, author of The Japanese Negotiator, now critically examines the Japanese multinational company from the perspective of its non-Japanese employees in the United States, Japan and abroad. Against a background of growing Japanese investment overseas and simultaneously increasing concern about the qualifications of some Japanese companies as good employers abroad, March examines, through the actual experiences of their foreign employees, how the vastly different ideas of the Japanese about good management practice, corporate culture, harmony in the workplace, interpersonal communication, employment conditions, decision-making power for non-Japanese, and manager-subordinate relationships often lead to many real problems in the workplace, and sometimes escalate into an ultimate polarization between Japanese and non-Japanese personnel.

                        Using the successful approach of his earlier book (which Savvy Magazine called "an indispensable guide to the ins and outs of Japanese commerce"), March uses revealing testimony from foreign employees in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Asia to show how the Japanese really manage and direct their foreign employees, as well as to expose the roots of tension, misunderstanding, confusion, frustration and antagonism in the multinational Japanese company. A longtime student of Japanese corporate behavior who himself has many years of first-hand experience working for the Japanese in Japan and abroad, March in Working for a Japanese Company presents a comprehensive study of what it is really like to work for the Japanese--and the first guide to evaluating Japanese companies as employers. His skillful use of verbatim interview materials is combined with the interpretive approach of a cultural anthropologist who is completely at home in a business environment. Reading Working for a Japanese Company will transform your assumptions about Japanese companies and Japanese managers themselves. This essential work goes beyond stereotypes to offer truly new perspectives and insights on things Japanese in today's world of multinational business.

                        5 out of 5 stars A Perfect Fit.......2006-08-08

                        I am an American working for the top Japanese executives at a Japanese-owned company in the U.S. I landed this job due to 18 years prior experience working with the Japanese.

                        Many things have changed in the Japanese-American working atmosphere since this book was published in 1992. The younger Japanese are much more open, pro-American and savvy. And, at least in my company, the Japanese have made a great effort to apply "when in Rome." But still, with many older Japanese (50+) expatriates working in America, there can be cultural misunderstandings. I've personally experienced several embarrassing situations that might have been avoided if I had read this book earlier.

                        An unexpected part of my job has been as a liaison between the Japanese and Americans, fielding questions that the Americans have about the Japanese and visa versa. So, because of this book, I can better answer these questions, and my position here has therefore been gaining in value.

                        Author, Robert M. March, has done a great deal to improve international relations - this book would go far to help relationships anywhere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to work for the Japanese.

                            From the supplier: Japanese corporations are fielding their own candidates in local government elections and ensuring their victory by coercing their employees to vote for their candidates. This is done by the firms to make sure that corporate interests are well-represented in government affairs. The corporate election rigging has adversely affected democracy in Japan. For example, corporate city council members work for the relaxation of environmental policies and property taxes which have a negative effect on the welfare of citizens and the credibility of the government in the long run.
