    Organizations often channel workflow around key business processes in order to enhance their productivity. Those that succeed are referred to as high-performance work organizations (HIPOs). Yet, little is known about the systems that drive high performance or even what defines a HIPO. This book, for both practicing managers and scholars, addresses that knowledge gap. It provides the field's and the authors' definitions of HIPOs, and it contains 168 annotations of recent and informative journal articles, books, and book chapters by those who have studied and worked with such organizations.

        Good update over previous edition. Author added some new material, but took away some from the previous edition. This book will get me through the state exam.

        5 out of 5 stars much better than Jacobus's Texas Real Estate !!!!.......2005-04-06

        i came across this book AFTER i have finished reading Jacobus' Texas Real Estate. i hoped i have seen this book much earlier and tossed Jacobus into trash bin... much much better...

        5 out of 5 stars A very informative, easy read.......2001-01-17

        I liked this book because it is well organized and informative. At the beginning of every chapter the author includes a list of key terms; and key words are bolded and defined through out the chapters. In the back of the book, there's a glossary. This book covers the main topics of the Texas Real Estate Sales Exam in a very thorough, organized way.

        Texas Real Estate Contracts does not contain enough examples of completely filled out contracts. Deed restrictions aren't even mentioned. Further, over 100 pages (1/3 of the book) are simply a reprint of the contract and addenda easily aquired from the Texas Real Estate Commission.

        2 out of 5 stars Not A Serious Source of Knowledge.......2004-12-10

        If you're even moderately aware of the basics of business, such as what you would learn getting an undergraduate degree in business (or maybe in just one or two courses), then this book won't tell you anything you don't already know. It spends a lot of time listing basic terms and defining them. By basic, I mean mentioning that a sole proprietorship is a business run by an individual. I was done with it in 20 minutes and I don't consider myself anywhere close to an expert on the subject.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for starting a Texas business.......2003-04-22

        If you're thinking about starting a business in Texas, this book is perfect for you. It covers general issues like what type of business should you start (Sole Proprietorship, Corporation, etc.), Insurance, Employment and Labor Laws, and most importantly specific issues associated with Texas. For instance, Texas requires Franchise Tax be paid by all corporations and Limited Liability Companies. Texas also requires a Sales and Use Tax form be completed for any business selling taxable items (tangible and intangible property). I have read the other book "How to Incorporate and Start a Business in Texas" but it is more focused on the legal rammifications of corporations and not on specific Texas related issues. It is also good, but I recommend this book because it covers basically everything. Great reference manual.

        Dean is a great writer, his background positions him well for this book. He is a family man doing what many need to do, start a small business and keep food on the table and insurance laying in wait. This is the perfect guide for starting you small business. The forms are there, the bylaws are there, explaining the stock even helped me understand some things about corporate law I didn't know about. Dean makes the law real and easy to understand. Thanks for wading through the mumbo-jumbo and getting the real nuggets, we will all flourish thanks to your work. Be advised Dean is not advising you legally, but identifying steps any one would need to take to start there small business. In some cases you still may need a lawyer, but this book can help you identify the key areas you need check. It allows you to talk about the issues with your CPA and Attorney, overall it's GREAT!!!

          If you are interested in the history of wine it is a fine and interesting book. It was published in 1989 and the wine world has changed it needs to be revised. It does a poor job on wines of the new world; still it is a book worth reading.

          5 out of 5 stars The most beautiful wine book I ever read (and Ive read many).......1998-04-20

          A real masterpiece (and an obvious work of love)! Combining extensive research and scholarship with wit and eloquence, the book traces wine and wine making from ancient times to our day. It is both the "Story of Wine" and the history of wine. The story is told in the context of its geographical, cultural and technical background. Exquisite pictures and maps abound. A truly extraordinary book!

            Book Description

            Adventures in Wine takes you to the wine country like no other wine book: behind the scenes, into the vineyards and cellars, with some of the world's finest wine writers. Here the emphasis is not on the wine - though it's always present - but on the richly textured tapestry that wine has woven into our world for centuries. Each story is a personal exploration of a place on earth that is fortunate enough to be called wine country. Yes, you'll visit Napa and Provence and Tuscany, but also Greece and Hungary, Arizona and Alsace, Georgia and Georgia (the state and the country). These writers let the world of wine affect them deeply: Gerald Asher discovers a moment of rare happiness with a wine he can never name, Karen MacNeil is led inexorably from midtown Manhattan to a mountaintop vineyard in California, vintner Steve Edmunds discovers that perhaps the wine is making him, not the other way around - and novelist Jim Harrison reveals how wine helped save his life. These are the stories that wine country travelers tell each other late into the evening, when pretense is put aside and deeper truths are revealed. There's also plenty of rollicking good fun, such as learning how Kit Snedaker craftily gets the upper hand on snooty sommeliers; joining Bob Blumer, the Surreal Gourmet, as he works the harvest at Burgundy's most august domaine, Romanée-Conti; and wading into the Seine with DeAnne Musolf Crouch to catch trout - with a net. There's something for every wine lover in Adventures in Wine, including history, technology, and Peter Mayle searching for a spittoon. So uncork a bottle and take a trip to the wine country with some of the most observant, engaging, and enlightening guides you'll ever meet between the covers of a book.
