Alan M. Rugman
The End of Globalization: Why Global Strategy Is a Myth &, How to Profit from the Realities of Regional Markets

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Globalization has been both lauded as a glorious solution to economic disparities and criticized as the malign cause of financial upheavals in developing nations. But, according to the noted economist and scholar Alan Rugman, globalization was never morethan a myth, and the controversies it has spurred are based on the fictions of a homogeneous marketplace. Instead, Rugman argues, international economic activity has been driven by just 500 multinational enterprises operating in the triad of North America, the European Union, and Japan. Neither globally monolithic nor politically powerful, these companies produce and distribute goods for highly competitive regional markets (for example, 90% of cars produced in Europe are sold in Europe). Scholarly and researched-based, yet eminently readable, The End of Globalization explores this new concept of multinational enterprises as regionally based and locally operated. And the book helps managers and executives develop… [detailed...]

The End of Irish History?: Critical Reflections on the Celtic Tiger

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ireland appears to be in the throes of a remarkable process of social change. The purpose of this book is to systematically scrutinize the interpretations and prescriptions that inform the deceptively simple metaphor of the `Celtic Tiger.` The standpoint of the book is that a more critical approach to the course of development being followed by the Republic is urgently required. The essays collected here set out to expose the fallacies that drive the fashionable rhetoric of Tigerhood. Four of thesefallacies--that Ireland has cast off the chains of economic dependency, that everyone is benefiting from the economic recovery, that personal freedom and liberty are at an unprecedented level for all citizens, and that Ireland is also experiencing a period of strong cultural renaissance--are vigorously challenged.

John Maynard Keynes
The End of Laissez-Faire: The Economic Consequences of the Peace (Great Minds Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In THE END OF LAISSEZ-FAIRE (1926), Keynes presents a brief historical review of laissez-faire economic policy. Though he agrees in principle that the marketplace should be free of government interference, he suggests that government can play a constructive role in protecting individuals from the worst harms of capitalism`s cycles, especially as concerns unemployment. When the Great Depression struck a few years later, this work seemed very prescient. Keynes first earned widespread prominence immediately following World War I, when he published THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE PEACE in 1919. This book gained a good deal of notoriety because of its withering portraits of both French premier Georges Clemenceau and US president Woodrow Wilson. Keynes criticized the Allied victors for signing a treaty that would have ruinous consequences for Europe, if not modified as he suggested. Unfortunately, few leaders appreciated Keynes`s criticisms, and he saw his worst fears realized in the… [detailed...]

The End of Lawyers?: Rethinking the Nature of Legal Services

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The End of Lawyers? is the much-anticipated sequel to Richard Susskind`s legal best-seller of 1996, The Future of Law. Ten years on, and half-way towards the twenty-year vision he set out, Susskind takes stock of progress, introduces vital new emerging technologies, and envisages even more radical change to the legal world than before. This is a world in which, at least in part, legal services are commoditized, IT renders conventional legal advice redundant, clients and lawyers are collaborators under the one virtual roof, disputes are dominated by technology if not avoided in the first place, and online systems and services compete with lawyers in providing access to the law and to justice. For the conservative legal adviser, the message is bleak. For the progressive lawyer, an exciting new legal market emerges. This book continues the author`s focus on the effect of advances in information technology upon the law and legal practice, providing fresh perspectives and analysis of… [detailed...]

2002 y.
Publisher: Jossey-Bass
Description: There is a search in process for a new context and paradigm for the organization of the future - an organization that must be capable of producing high-quality, competitive products that satisfy customers without destroying the planet or degrading human life. The End of Management and the Rise of Organizational Democracy calls for a radical set of organizational development initiatives that will combat the destructive forces of globalization, put an end to authoritarian, paternalistic management, and move organizations toward a new `organizational democracy.` Kenneth Cloke and Joan Goldsmith detail the practical opportunities, alternatives, and models for these new organizations and challenge leaders to transform their workplace environment into one shaped by a context of values, ethics, and integrity. They reveal how a combination of collaboration, self-management, and organizational democracy can break down long-standing boundaries and foster the far-reaching,… [detailed...]

The End of Nature

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Reissued on the tenth anniversary of its publication, this classic work on our environmental crisis features a new introduction by the author, reviewing both the progress and ground lost in the fight to save the earth. This impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change is today still considered a groundbreaking work in environmental studies. McKibben`s argument that the survival of the globe is dependent on a fundamental, philosophical shift in the way we relate to nature is more relevant than ever. McKibben writes of our earth`s environmental cataclysm, addressing such core issues as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and the depletion of the ozone layer. His new introduction addresses some of the latest environmental issues that have risen during the 1990s. The book also includes an invaluable new appendix of facts and figures that surveys the progress of the environmental movement. More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalog of scientific… [detailed...]

The End of Office Politics as Usual: A Complete Strategy for Creating a More Productive and Profitable Organization

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The single greatest impediment to an organization`s success isn`t any outside threat--it`s internal divisiveness and political wrangling. Now, at last, a refreshingly intelligent book shows how to rid your organization of the `politics as usual` that stifles top performance. Most of us would place office politics in the same category as death and taxes-- a painful and inevitable fact of life. This book, however, addresses politics as a serious business issue. Through eye-opening research and real-life stories, this frank book illustrates the crippling effects of infighting and backbiting on productivity, morale, and the ultimate market value of the enterprise itself. The author`s blueprint goes far beyond typical band-aid remedies. He shows readers how to analyze and transform both the `soft` corporate values and the `hard` ingrained processes that allow politics to flourish. His strategic approach will help any company materially improve its performance. For once,… [detailed...]

The End of Oil: On the Edge of a Perilous New World

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: You live in this world. You use oil. You must read this book. The situation is alarming and irrefutable: within thirty years, even by conservative estimates, we will have burned our way through most of the oil that is readily available to us. Already, the costly side effects of dependence on fossil fuel are taking their toll. Even as oil-related conflict threatens entire nations, individual consumers are suffering from higher prices at the gas pump, rising health problems, and the grim prospect of long-term environmental damage. In this frank and balanced investigation, Paul Roberts offers a timely wake-up call. He talks to both oil optimists and oil pessimists, delves deep into the economics and politics of oil, and considers the promises and pitfalls of alternatives such as wind power, hybrid cars, and hydrogen. A new afterword brings the book up to the minute. Brisk, immediate, and accessible, this is essential reading for anyone who uses oil, which is to say every one of… [detailed...]

The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Most of us know what it feels like to fall under the spell of food when one slice of pizza turns into half a pie, or a handful of chips leads to an empty bag. But it s harder to understand why we can`t seem to stop eating even when we know better. When we want so badly to say `no,` why do we continue to reach for food? Dr. David Kessler, the dynamic former FDA commissioner who reinvented the food label and tackled the tobacco industry, now reveals how the food industry has hijacked the brains of millions of Americans. The result? America s number-one public health issue. Dr. Kessler cracks the code of overeating by explaining how our bodies and minds are changed when we consume foods that contain sugar, fat, and salt. Food manufacturers create products by manipulating these ingredients to stimulate our appetites, setting in motion a cycle of desire and consumption that ends with a nation of overeaters. The End of Overeating explains for the first time why it is exceptionally… [detailed...]

The End of Patience: Cautionary Notes on the Information Revolution

Publisher: —
Description: `Information overload` is a simple phrase for a complex phenomenon: the overwhelming sense that modern media technologies churn out more words and images than our culture can usefully absorb. David Shenk, a technology critic with a knack for unraveling the complex, has an even simpler name for it--`data smog.` That was the title of his first book, a smart, useful critique of the march of info-tech `progress` that has brought us such marvels as spam, junk mail, and 57 channels with nothing much on. His second book, The End of Patience: Cautionary Notes on the Information Revolution , continues and expands Shenk`s analysis, collecting articles and commentary he wrote for National Public Radio, The New Republic , FEED , Wired , and other high-minded venues over the last three years. Shenk`s targets here vary widely: the corporatization of scientific research, the dizzying ethical choices surrounding biotechnology, and the scourge of Web sites with too many… [detailed...]

Description: `Alan Brinkley brings his magnificent skills as a writer, historian, and original thinker to bear on a fascinating story -- the transformation of New Deal liberalism from the late `(3)os to the end of World War II. No one has a finer grasp of the intellectual, social, and political currents of this transforming era than Alan Brinkley. His book is a triumph.` -- Doris Kearns Goodwin When Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Democratic party won a landslide victory in the 1936 elections, the way seemed open forthe New Deal to complete the restructuring of American government it had begun in 1933. But, as Alan Brinkley makes clear, no sooner were the votes counted than the New Deal began to encounter a series of crippling political and economic problems that stalled its agenda and forced an agonizing reappraisal of the liberal ideas that had shaped it -- a reappraisal still in progress when the United States entered World War II. The wartime experience helped complete the transformation of… [detailed...]

Even technology industry analysts and seasoned IT executives have difficulty putting a hard figure on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of today`s enterprise application solutions. What makes the equation so tricky is the sheer number of variables that must be factored in, many of which cannot be lined up in a neat column and reconciled, such as issues of security, availability, performance, problem resolution and change management.

The End of White World Supremacy: Black Internationalism and the Problem of the Color Line

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The End of White World Supremacy explores a complex issuea??integration of Blacks into White Americaa??from multiple perspectives: within the United States, globally, and in the context of movements for social justice. Rod Bush locates himself within a tradition of African American activism that goes back at least to W.E.B. Du Bois. In so doing, he communicates between two literaturesa??world systems analysis and radical Black social movement historya??and sustains the dialogue throughout the book. Bush explains how racial troubles in the U.S. are symptomatic of the troubled relationship between the white and dark worlds globally. Beginning with an account of white European dominance leading to capitalist dominance by White America, The End of White World Supremacy ultimately wonders whether, as Myrdal argued in the 1940s, the American creed can provide a pathway to break this historical conundrum and give birth to international social justice.

Description: The most significant domestic issue of the 2004 elections is unemployment. The United States has lost nearly three million jobs in the last ten years, and real employment hovers around 9.1 percent. Only one political analyst foresaw the dark side of the technological revolution and understood its implications for global employment: Jeremy Rifkin. The End of Work is Jeremy Rifkin`s most influential and important book. Now nearly ten years old, it has been updated for a new, post-New Economy era. Statistics and figures have been revised to take new trends into account. Rifkin offers a tough, compelling critique of the flaws in the techniques the government uses to compile employment statistics. The End of Work is the book our candidates and our country need to understand the employment challenges-and the hopes-facing us in the century ahead. [detailed...]
