Arkansas Business Directory 2001-2002: The Ultimate Sales & Credit Tool (Arkansas Business Directory)

Book Description

The economic torts provide the common law rules on liability for the infliction of pure economic loss. They include the torts of conspiracy, inducing breach of contract, intimidation, unlawful interference with trade, deceit and malicious falsehood. These torts represent the common law's attempt to balance the need to protect claimants against those who inflict economic harm and the wider need to allow effective, even aggressive, competition (including competition between employers and their workers). Given their controversial setting it is hardly surprising to discover that this area of tort law is confused and confusing, with the limits of liability imprecise. Hazel Carty's book creates order out of chaos by offering a thorough analysis of all the economic torts in order to provide a framework for their scope and development. Such a comprehensive analysis has not been undertaken since Heydon's work in 1978. What is revealed is an approach to the economic torts that breaks with the traditional analysis to underline the interconnections and differences between these torts that have been overlooked in the past. The overall aim of this book is to provide a text that is both intellectually satisfying to the tort scholar and of practical worth to the practitioner.

From the supplier: Tort reform legislation that would put a cap on punitive damages in civil lawsuits is making progress at the federal and state levels, and trial lawyers are counterattacking. Trail lawyers claim that extant tort laws have no deleterious economic effects and that tort reform would restrict the rights of injured citizens. The truth is there is a tort crisis as tort reform litigation costs have increased 7.3% annually since 1986. The rate of increase is double the rate of inflation and would have been higher but for the tort reforms enacted by states since 1986.

From the supplier: Joint torts are analyzed by means of a model of expected profit maximization. A comparison between the relative contracting costs for strict liability and negligence in undertaken. Results show that strict liability incurs higher contracting costs redounding to larger allocative distortions than negligence for cases involving unilateral accidents. The liability standard would have a considerable effect on the size of manufacturers and retailers and on the mass of exit from the industry.

Book Description

Whether you work in a huge corporation or a small business, politics plays a role in how or whether you succeed. Ronna Lichtenberg, a former executive at Prudential Securities, shows that its not only okay to take part in office politics, its essential. Illustrating her guide with hilarious but true workplace anecdotes, she offers priceless advice on playing the game: the value of gossip; how to get your bosss job; the distinction between sucking up and brown-nosing; and how to handle unbearable co-workers. And, when things get nasty, Ronna sends in her Evil Twin to dispense counsel on some devilish maneuvers.

Insightful!.......2001-06-21

Let's face it: We all want to climb the corporate ladder. The trick is to climb without appearing to do so. Everyone has an agenda. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to uncover hidden agendas and use them to your advantage. Ronna Lichtenberg knowingly decodes office politics as usual. Her book addresses time management, starting a new job and ending an old one, gossip, and business travel. The book is easy to read and inexpensive. If there were such a thing as a "beach business book," this would certainly classify. However, clever though it is, it doesn't cover any new territory. If you're already a top-ranking executive, you probably know everything here. We [...] recommend this book for those who are still on their way up the ladder or those who may have forgotten some of the rules for making it to the top.

You need this book.......2000-12-19

If you're one of those people who think that your hard work is the only thing that counts, think again and read this book. Ever wonder why those things happen that appear to be right out of Dilbert? It's all part of office politics. This book gives practical advice that's even relevant for upper-level management. If you hate the idea of office politics like I do, this book helps you to navigate the treacherous waters without becoming one of the sharks you already loathe.

A guide every businessperson should have in their briefcase.......1999-11-25

I only wish I had read this book before I was passed over for a promotion. Don't be fooled that all of your hard work and attention to detail will be enough to carry you to the top of your organization. This book is an excellent guide to climbing your way up the corporate ladder. It also provides insight as to how others may be inching their way up while stepping all over you. This book should be mandatory reading for every business student

For Corporate Climbers Only........1999-07-20

I believe this book is exclusively geared towards the corporate climber considering the advice, some of it rather cut-throat, given to the reader. If you live in the big city and want to scratch your way to the top this book is for you. However, if, like me, you're in the country and work for a relatively small company, you had better skip this one since you'll likely cause all of your co-workers to hate the ground you walk on.

For every person that works and takes it personally!.......1999-05-27

Office Politics are a part of every job -- it's how you play the game that gets you ahead. In this witty, practical and straight forward book, we learn how to make office politics work for us. We see we are not alone in our angst at the office and our relationships at work. Work Would Be Great, helps us learn how to make work great --even with the people. Thank you Lichtenberg!

Ronna Lichtenberg saw the way office politics worked while she was a senior vice president at Prudential Securities. Now a marketing and strategy consultant, she's written Work Would Be Great if It Weren't for the People, a clever and unambiguous guide to successfully negotiating what she calls "the human element of the workplace." In a case-by-case narrative that's supplemented with wry commentary from her "evil twin"--which consists of brutally honest observations that allow her to play devil's advocate--Lichtenberg unveils a series of suggestions for dealing with common corporate situations that can regularly boost or torpedo a career. She addresses scenarios such as managing a change in jobs or responsibilities, handling unjust demands for commitment or allegiance, and working effectively with friends, enemies, and even lovers. As all of the most salient points are boldfaced for emphasis, this already fast read can be absorbed even more quickly. --Howard Rothman

Product Description

Reveals everything there is to know about maneuvering the unspoken rules of the workplace, including: what to do when you want to go over your boss's head; how close to the vest to hold your cards when you're the new kid on the block; why it's not a good idea to align yourself too closely with a single mentor; how to defend yourself against malicious gossip; & what to do when you absolutely, positively, can't stand the person in the office next to you. Whether you work alone, at a small office, in a big corp., or on a farm, this is an insightful, practical guide to making office politics work for you, rather than against you.

BUY THIS FOR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT!.......2003-02-07

I have been working since I was 17, now 42, and wish someone had sat me down with this advice long ago- this is especially valuable when it relates to personal or off-work behavior which can count for or against your career. If you are just starting out- read her experiences, people who don't follow these unwritten rules are gone one Monday, never to be heard from again. I have loaned this to all the wide eyed, intelligent promising young talent we hire (and want to retain) and they have thanked me- then bought their own copy. So much more helpful then the Ken Blanchard-one-minute-manager-moved-my-cheese-unusable-GARBAGE out there! BUY this book or borrow one from the library!

How to Get Ahead - by Stepping on People.......2002-08-20

I've read my fair share of management books - and this is the first one I've literally thrown away so no one would be tempted to borrow it. It gives a cynical, spiteful, and even cruel perspective on ways to advance your career. The only example this provides for career advancement is a bad one. Perhaps she might still be (successfully) employed at Prudential if she treated people like human beings. OK, I'll admit that not all coworkers always fit into that category, but it sure makes for a better overall work environment.

Shred this one and purchase _Jesus, CEO_ and Blanchard's books (One Minute Manager) instead. You'll sleep better at night.

Humorous, but potentially dangerous..........2001-10-24

This book is much more humor or biography than business reference. I was looking for something, not to teach me how to play the normal game of office politics but to play it in a different way or combat it with dignity, self-respect and a respectable work role in tact. If you have a cold heart and no concern for others, or are just seeking some humor then by all means, take a look at Lichtenburg's book. But tactics described in this book are very sleazy and will be a gamble to put into practice for the caring and professional person. They worked for her, but she's lucky. And I bet she has trouble looking herself in the mirror. Then again, maybe she doesn't, but I would.

Not worth the money.......1999-05-31

I recently was a woman promoted to a fairly high position in my corporation. I purchased this book thinking it would give me helpful tips to surviving up at the top. It turned out that it was full of "catty" comments and really should be viewed as nothing more than entertainment; not as a useful business tool.

An absolutely practical guide to office politics.......1999-03-29

This book is a perfect "how-to" guide to coach you how to protect yourself, how to preserve your integrity, and how to clear the obstacles in the office to perform at your best. This should be required reading for anyone in a tough and competitive office environment.
