Book Description

The Chinese market and Chinese companies are of increasing importance for the global chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The book starts with the characterization of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry in China. One central aspect is the political and economic situation in China with its strategic and operational implications for Western chemical and pharmaceutical companies. A major part of the book comprises case studies describing how Western companies like BASF, Bayer, Bicoll, Ciba, Degussa, DSM and Novartis are managing the market entry and investments for further growth in China. The book also analyzes the threat to Western companies in their home markets from Chinese competitors.

The Making of American Industrial Research: Science and Business at GE and Bell, 18761926 (Studies in Economic History and Policy: USA in the Twentieth Century)

ASIN: 0521327679

Book Description

Based on voluminous corporate records and extensive interviews with key employees, Science and Corporate Strategy: Du Pont R and D, 1902–1980 provides a comprehensive, critical study of research and development in a large US corporation. Du Pont was among a handful of US corporations that established formal research and development laboratories at the turn of the century to improve competitive positions in their respective industries. Initially, Du Pont’s executives viewed R&D as an important though not central part of the corporations strategy. However the gains made by the company’s laboratories soon demonstrated that R&D would be a critical ingredient in the firm’s success. The industrial research and development laboratory became a major part of corporate structure; science became a central part of corporate strategy.

An amazing account of how a company rose to power. .......2007-06-17

David Hounshell and John Smith do an excellent job of not only recounting the thorough history of Du Pont's R&D but they also give a wonderful synopsis of how R&D developed as a whole during the time period. Du Pont suffered through organization issues when the three cousins took the company over at the end of the 19th century. They were able to develop an organization system and two areas for R&D. These areas would help to produce some of the fundamental research that allowed the company to move forward. They would be essential for developing dyes during World War 1 and Rayon in the time following. The development of nylon was achieved through hard chemical work and a dedication to pure science that came out of these labs during the 1930's. These products would flourish both before and after World War II making Du Pont a signature company that clearly dominated the markets.
World War II represented a dilemma for Du Pont. While being accused of war profiteering in World War I the executives were determined to avoid this fate in the second war. Du Pont did its work at cost and was essential in developing the Hanford Labs in Washington which made the plutonium for several bombs. This was turned over to the government at the end of the contract. Du Pont did not want to be involved in any government work and found themselves continually sucked back in. After the war it did try to become involved in pharmaceuticals but failed to realize the potential for a sales force and could not be competitive. Plastics and fibers would be the big winners after the war until the mid 1960's where even these reliable products began to falter. The research and development teams went back to the drawing board and looked for opportunities. While that is still being played out the biggest winner was in X-ray film. The Du Pont film proved stronger than Eastman Kodak giving them an edge.
Overall this is the most thorough account of Du Pont I have come across. This book not only serves to show how Du Pont developed R&D through decentralization and good corporate governance but shows the model that major companies began to adopt. It is incredibly detailed in its narrative although be warned this is for those who really want to learn about business and technology. It is not a light historical read that will be enjoyed by all. If you really are into technology or business though this is an essential book to read. It is a little hard to get through at times with some of the scientific jargon but otherwise it is a five star book.

Book Description

Mastering management skills is hard to achieve by newcomers starting their careers in the chemical industry. The message coming from there is that good chemists swiftly have to become good managers if they are to survive and progress in today's competitive climate.

This book is designed to help guide younger R & D chemists to ways in which they can quickly evolve skills which are built around three factors - people, knowledge and time. It covers the management of scientific personnel, management within a variety of R & D organisational structures, creating a climate of innovation, the management of projects including the time management and communication aspects of the job.

The author, Peter Bamfield, is now working as a consultant. Due to his long experience in the chemical industry, he was elected President of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Industrial Affairs Division.

AP Physics.......2006-01-15

This book was very helpful.I wish I had it earlier. I used it for a college class (calculus based physics) although it is for high school. I also let a friend borrow it and she was happy with it too.There are a lot of example problems.

it's okay.........2006-01-13

Well, I bought this book because I want some extra help for my AP Physics class. I think that the content in this book is quite good. But the only problem that I have with this book is that for some questions, they do not explain to us how to solve it, and suddenly just throwing some equation, then answer.

It was ok, a little confusing.......2005-05-19

I found this book to be helpful in some ways and in other ways, not so much. The sections on Mechanics were very simple and easy to understand. The Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Physics and the Waves and Optics sections were all easy for me to comprehend. This book was a big help in the Waves and Optics section because we didn't even go over that in class, but I was able to teach myself how to do it. As far as the Electricity and Magnetism, I thought it was extremely difficult to understand and after a while I didn't even bother with it, because I just didn't get it. I don't know if this would be my first suggestion for an AP Physics B review book, but it was ok, just a little confusing.

The way to go to improve your score........2005-01-18

This book contains everything you'd want to know about both AP Physics tests. Everything is written clearly and makes perfect sense, even if you're teacher is useless (trust me, mine is). I've taught myself entire sections using this book alone. I have no doubt that this will improve my score on the AP Physics test.

Simply Amazing.......2004-11-19

While taking my AP Physics course, I realized that I needed help...fast. I knew that there were suppliment books available, but none like this book. Everything that you could need - and nothing more - is contained in this book. The examples given are similar to what I've experienced in class, but given with much more detail and explanation. This book has been an invaluable tool.

A Don't Miss!!!.......2004-04-07

First story so beautiful and poignant, it brought tears to my eyes. London displays a true understanding of the deeper reaches of nature. A remarkably real parable of the civilized dog brought back to his wild roots. "White Fang", longer and wildly overwritten, is nevertheless deeply affecting also. Romantic, sentimental, and perhaps somewhat unrealistic. Each story was wonderful and very individual, somewhat amazing considering there are 40 of them. "The Sea Wolf" was the best of all, I thought. The character of Wolf Larsen was just totally intriguing. And I have never forgotten (and will probably carry with me to my grave) a line from that book, uttered by Larsen. To paraphase - The most abundant thing on this planet is not air, or water or land. They are all perishable, or can be ruined or consumed in some way or another. It is life, life itself, that is everywhere. Wolf Larsen was one of the most unforgettable characters in fiction that I have ever run across. An amoral man to the nth degree.

Wonderfully written outdoor adventure stories.......1999-05-27

If you like the movies you will love these stories. Combines page turning reading with a poetic quality that only Jack London can develop.

Better than the Call of the Wild!!.......1997-11-28

Loved White Fang so much I have gone on and read everything this man ever wrote. If you love the outdoors, and can live without T.V. a few nights then get this one. You will not regret the money well spent.
