Adams, Scott Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel
New York, New York, U.S.A. HarperBusiness 2002 0060518057 / 9780060518059 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Like-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Cartoons throughout. Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 351 pages. - In this scathingly funny satire of corporate life, Scott Adams, the cartoonist whose deadpan style and ruthless honesty have made him the spokesperson for cubicle dwellers everywhere, calls upon Dilbert, Dogbert, and their colleagues to expose that most pernicious of workplace scourges -- the weasel! What exactly, you may be wondering, is a weasel? Well, a weasel is someone who doesn't know how to do his job but is a master at covering it up. A weasel is also someone who continuously annoys her coworkers but is unfailingly promoted to management-level jobs. In fact, weasels are ubiquitous and all-powerful: If you want to succeed, start asking how you, too, can become one! Throughout the book, Adams uses both cartoons and text to expose the strategies by which weasels have gained power. For example, the weasel manager can "motivate" his or her employees by telling them how much their raises would have been in a better economy. A highlight of the book are real emails from office workers recounting weasel-like behavior at their companies -- like the tale of a "New Attitude" campaign in which a manager fined her employees a dollar each time she caught them not smiling. As a bonus, Adams gives you some very direct techniques for dealing with unwanted coworkers: If you're trapped by a weasely office mate who just won't leave, nothing says "I need some quiet time" like trying to gnaw off your own arm! Thanks to Scott Adams, office workers everywhere can save their sanity with this hilarious book. Amina Sharma From the Publisher Back after a four-year hiatus, New York Times bestselling author Scott Adams presents an outrageous look at work, home and everyday life in his new book, Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel. Building on Dilbert's theory that 'All people are idiots', Adams now says, 'All people are idiots. And they are also weasels.' Just ask anyone who worked at Enron. In this book, Adams takes a look into the Weasel Zone, the giant grey area between good moral behaviour and outright felonious activities. In the Weasel Zone, where most people reside, everything is misleading, but not exactly a lie. Building on his popular comic strip, Adams looks into work, home and everyday life and exposes the way of the weasel for everyone to see. With appearances from all the regular comic strip characters, Adams and Dilbert are at the top of their game - master satirists who expose the truth while making us laugh our heads off.

Adams, Stephen B.; Butler, Orville R. Manufacturing the Future: A History of Western Electric
Cambridge Univ Press 1999 0521651182 / 9780521651189 Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated. NO writing, marks or tears. 270 pages. Synopsis: A first full-length history of the Western Electric Company, the manufacturing arm of the Bell System. Review "This overview of the operation and evolution of a leading firm over a vital era of American business history is recommended for undergraduate and graduate library collections." Choice "...a compact and highly readable account of a hitherto largely neglected company." Albert Churella, Business History "Manufacturing the Future provides a valuable overview of Western Electric's history, an excellent teaching tool for undergraduates studying the American economy." John Abrahamson. "The author's abilities to integrate so many disparate themes...into such a brief account are highly praisworthy." Enterprise & Society "Manufacturing the Future is a thorough and well-structured book that clearly and succinctly- in 218 text pages- covers the most seminal points in Western Electric's history. The Book's emphasis on the relationship between the firm and the Bell System is well placed and its arguments are convicing. The author's abilities to integrate so many disparate themes...are highly praiseworthy." Enterprise & Society Product Description Manufacturing the Future: A History of Western Electric is the first full-length history of the Western Electric Company, the manufacturing arm of the Bell System. As a manufacturer in the communications revolutions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Western Electric made new products such as telegraphs, telephones, an early computing machine, radios, radar, and transistors. The book demonstrates, through Western's 1882 acquisition by Bell Telephone, that vertical integration was a lengthy process rather than a single event. It also shows the coming of age of industrial psychology and describes the advent of civil rights in corporate America.

Alderman, John Sonic Boom: Napster, MP3, and the New Pioneers of Music
Perseus Books Group 2001 0738207772 / 9780738207773 Trade Paperback Near-Fine No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new copy - NO writing, marks or tears - Tight spine - 205 pages - Sonic Boom is a fascinating narrative of the controversy that's sending shock waves through the music industry. It reveals how even as the star-maker machinery of record companies remains in the hands of the old guard, innovators are finding ways to route around it. Part industry exposé and part music history, Sonic Boom presents a candid and entertaining account of how digital compression technologies such as MP3 have brought out the best and worst in artists and consumers alike, and how the end result can be nothing less than a cultural and economic transformation. Peopled with a sensational cast of characters that includes rock stars, music moguls, teenagers, and Internet entrepreneurs, Sonic Boom exposes the recording industry's plight as a fascinating microcosm of the vast cultural, ethical, and legal issues that all industries face in the information age. Author Biography: John Alderman has worked in the trenches of the on-line revolution since the launch of HotWired, the world's first commercial Web site. As the culture editor for Wired News, Alderman began covering the explosion of on-line music just as the MP3 phenomenon gathered steam. He has written for Wired, Details, Salon, I.D. , and Mondo 2000, and is a frequent speaker on the subject of new media.

Araton, Harvey; Bondy, Filip The Selling of the Green: The Financial Rise and Moral Decline of the Boston Celtics
HarperCollins 1992 0060183012 / 9780060183011 Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Near-fine condition. Remainder marks on bottom. NO price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $20.00. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, clean pages. 271 pages. Illustrated with photos. Dustcover shows light wear (NO tears). From Publishers Weekly Although Boston is 25% black, it has a reputation as a racist city; also relevant to the premise of the book is the fact that the basketball Celtics, one of professional sports' most successful franchises, have few fans among the city's minority population. The Celtics management has tried for four decades to create the image that it is color-blind: the team signed the first black player, hired the first black coach and the Celtics were the first to play an all-black starting lineup. But the image is not the reality, according to New York Times sports columnists Araton and Bondy in this hard-hitting expose. The Celtics, originally led to greatness by black center Bill Russell, prefer to make a public hero of white forward John Havlicek; for years the management has tried to assemble a roster of six blacks and six whites, although some of the whites are talented enough only to sit on the bench. The authors maintain that racism is endemic in the NBA and that it is especially blatant in Boston. They also argue convincingly that the Boston press has played a shameful role in cloaking that the Celtics team is "still for whites." Photos not seen by PW. Author tour. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Two New York Times columnists take the NBA's Boston Celtics front office to task for what they charge is a race-based marketing strategy that permeates nearly all management functions, from player development to community relations. Based largely on interviews with former players, they claim the practice has been long-standing and has resulted in preferential treatment for white players, particularly in regard to salary negotiations and roster moves. Much of the criticism is directed at Red Auerbach, the architect of the Celtic dynasty, as well as NBA officials and the local Boston media, who are seen as catering to the franchise. This work is likely to beget controversy and offers a far different perspective of the team from that depicted in Dan Shaughnessy's Ever Green ( LJ 9/15/90) or Bob Ryan's The Boston Celtics ( LJ 11/15/89). For popular collections. - William H. Hoffman, Ft. Myers-Lee Cty. P.L., Fla.

Auletta, Ken Three Blind Mice: How the TV Networks Lost Their Way
Random House Inc 1991 0394563581 / 9780394563589 First American Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Very-nice copy - Dustcover shows 1 small, closed tear - Book is in Fine Condition - Stated First U.S. Edition - Price inside dustcover: $25.00 - 642 pages - NO remainder marks or price clippings - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages. - What happened to network television in the 1980s? How did CBS, NBC, and ABC lose a third of their audience and more than half of their annual profits? Ken Auletta, author of Greed and Glory on Wall Street, tells the gripping story of the decline of the networks in this epically scaled work of journalism. He chronicles the takeovers and executive coups that turned ABC and NBC into assets of two mega-corporations and CBS into the fiefdom of one man, Larry Tisch, whose obsession with the bottom line could be both bracing and appalling. Auletta takes us inside the CBS newsroom on the night that Dan Rather went off-camera for six deadly minutes; into the screening rooms where NBC programming wunderkind Brandon Tartikoff watched two of his brightest prospects for new series thud disastrously to earth; and into the boardrooms where the three networks were trying to decide whether television is a public trust or a cash cow. Rich in anecdote and gossip, scalpel-sharp in its perceptions, Three Blind Mice chronicles a revolution in American business and popular culture, one that is changing the world on both sides of the television screen.

Autry, James A. Love and Profit: The Art of Caring Leadership
William Morrow & Co 1991 0688089216 / 9780688089214 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Like-new condition - Appears unread - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $16.95 - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages - 213 pages - NO writing, marks or tears inside book. ``Management is, in fact, a sacred trust in which the well-being of other people is put in your care during most of their waking hours.'' Autry, the president of Meredith Corporation's magazine group, believes this, and as a result looks at management in a slightly different way from many management theorists. In a series of brief chapters, he examines how a caring manager might handle a wide variety of situations most managers face. Following many of these chapters are poems that in a truly remarkable way tell vignettes to help explain what the chapter was about. This is highly recommended for business how-to collections.-

Battelle, John The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture
New York, New York, U.S.A. Portfolio 2005 1591840880 / 9781591840886 Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 311 pages. Tight spine, clean pages. Synopsis How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller Finalist for the Goldman Sachs/FT Business Book of the Year Award What does the world want? According to John Battelle, a company that answers that question in all its shades of meaning can unlock the most intractable riddles of business and arguably of human culture itself. And for the past few years, that's exactly what Google has been doing. But The Search offers much more than the inside story of Google's triumph. It's a big- picture book about the past, present, and future of search technology and the enormous impact it's starting to have on marketing, media, pop culture, dating, job hunting, international law, civil liberties, and just about every other sphere of human interest. BACKCOVER: "The Search is a superb story, well written and feverishly researched. Whether you are a student, techie, business executive, budding visionary or just enjoy pop culture, this is a book not to be missed." USA Today "John Battelle is Silicon Valley's Bob Woodward. One of the founders of Wired magazine, he has hung around Google for so long that he has come to be as close as any outsider can to actually being an insider....The result is a highly readable account of Google's astonishing rise." The Economist "It's a fascinating story, and Mr. Battelle... tells it well." The Wall Street Journal "A surprisingly gripping story...The Search yields impressive results, pairing a reportorial eye for detail with an evangelical zeal to help readers understand the import of the search revolution." Wired News "Battelle...manages to keep things compelling, adding his own trenchant analysis about what Google's rapid evolution and powerful technology might mean for the company and our society as whole." The Associated Press "A compelling glimpse of the search industry's early years." BusinessWeek "Deeply researched and nimbly reported." Publishers Weekly "Indispensable." London Review of Books "John Battelle has written a brilliant business book, but he's also done something more: he's used the amazing saga of Google to explore what it means to search. All searchers should read it." Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute; former editor of Time; former CEO of CNN "Nobody, and I mean nobody, has thought longer, harder, or smarter about Google and the search business than John Battelle. If you want to understand the rise of the search economy and culture, you need to read this book." John Heilemann, author of Pride Before the Fall Library Journal: Wired cofounder and Industry Standard founder Battelle has written a history of the search engine giant Google that attempts to place the phenomenon of Internet searching within the broader context of society and culture. If the "Database of Intentions" sounds like a kind of high-tech holy grail, you're getting warm. This is Battelle's terminology for the totality of Internet searching that reveals to us as a culture (not to mention to marketers) who we are and how we think and feel. The tale of Google's humble beginnings in a Stanford dorm room and eventual domination of the search landscape is an interesting enough story in itself. But it becomes fascinating against the backdrop of geeky entrepreneurs and their fledgling companies waging battles of ideas and ideals. Along the way, Battelle skillfully examines ethical and political issues of search-personal privacy being a big one. The implications of search as a cultural marker and what its future might hold make this a thought-provoking work with relevance beyond business and technology. Recommended for public and academic library business collections.-Carol J. Elsen, Univ. of Wisconsin, Whitewater Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information. Biography: JOHN BATTELLE is a cofounding editor of Wired and the founder of The Industry Standard, as well as TheStandard.com. He is currently program chair for the Web 2.0 conference, a columnist for Business 2.0, and the founder, chairman, and publisher of Federated Media Publishing, Inc.

Bauman, Robert P.; Jackson, Peter; Lawrence, Joanne T. From Promise to Performance: A Journey of Transformation at Smithkline Beecham
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Harvard Business School Press 1997 0875846343 / 9780875846347 Hard Cover Very Good + Very Good + Ex-Library 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Ex-libris hardback. Usual library markings. Inner pages are free from writing and tears. Tight spine, bright pages. 302 pages. Price inside dustcover: $27.50. Synopsis Here are lessons from the personal experience of the team that led one of the most successful transnational corporate mergers of all time-the transformation of SmithKline Beckman and the Beecham Group into SmithKline Beecham, a leading international health care company. The authors recount their thinking and actions as well as the successes, failures, and lessons learned. Through the story of the merger, they present a framework of five requisites for creating a culture of change: instilling a winning attitude, making the organization the hero, striving for continuous learning, instituting strategic communication, and aligning behavior with strategy. For managers, this account offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into how a major company aligned its business actions and behavior to be competitive in a rapidly changing industry, and how others can create an environment in which the ability to change sustains success. "An absorbing, fly-on-the-wall account of a major merger.... For business executives and managers who want to know the inner workings of a well-executed and ultimately effective corporate merger, From Promise to Performance is a must-read."--National Productivity Review "This is a fascinating, inside account of an extraordinarily successful merger. Even more important, it is a book about institutionalizing change. The merger is seen not as an end, but as a beginning. Change and learning are viewed as ongoing processes and values that sustain improved performance. I recommend it highly. It's both informative and entertaining." --Paul A. Allaire, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Xerox Corporation
