Own Your Own Corporation: Why the Rich Own Their Own Companies and Everyone Else Works for Them

Product Description
In this groundbreaking book, three world-renowned psychologists reveal how professionals can succeed in carrying out Good Work-work that is both expert and socially responsible-even in these relentlessly market-driven times. What does it mean to carry out “good work”? What strategies allow people to maintain moral and ethical standards at a time when market forces have unprecedented power and work life is being radically altered by technological innovation? These questions lie at the heart of this eagerly awaited new book. Focusing on genetics and journalism-two fields that generate and manipulate information and thus affect our lives in myriad ways-the authors show how in their quest to build meaningful careers successful professionals exhibit “humane creativity,” high-level performance coupled with social responsibility. Over the last five years the authors have interviewed over 100 people in each field who are engaged in cutting-edge work, probing th… More >>

Good Work: When Excellence and Ethics Meet

Product Description
Performance expectations for managers keep going up. Managers are continually asked to do more, but to do it with less. For top management, the standard response to flagging profits and increasing competition has become budget cuts and layoffs. Middle managers and supervisors suffer the consequences, as they are left with too few resources and people to do the work. They are forced to operate in survival mode, putting in long hours to deal with an endless stream of urgent problems. Almost never do they have the time to think beyond this month’s results. In addition, they are under constant scrutiny, and their jobs are not secure. Ironically, help is closer than they realize – in the people who work for them. They are the ones who do the work, and they see many things their managers don’t. On a daily basis, they see what is frustrating customers, causing waste, or generally holding the organization back. Employees often know how to improve performance and r… More >>

A Bold Manifesto on the Future of Information Technology Over the last decade, and even since the bursting of the technology bubble, pundits, consultants, and thought leaders have argued that information technology provides the edge necessary for business success. IT expert Nicholas G. Carr offers a radically different view in this eloquent and explosive book. As IT’s power and presence have grown, he argues, its strategic relevance has actually decreased. IT has been transformed from a source of advantage into a commoditized “cost of doing business”-with huge implications for business management. Expanding on Carr’s seminal Harvard Business Review article that generated a storm of controversy, Does IT Matter? provides a truly compelling-and unsettling-account of IT’s changing business role and its leveling influence on competition. Through astute analysis of historical and contemporary examples, Carr shows that the evolution of IT closely pa… More >>
