Book Description

Research on Professional Responsibility and Ethics in Accounting is devoted to publishing high-quality research and cases that focus on the professional responsibilities of accountants and how they deal with the ethical issues they face. The series features articles on a broad range of important and timely topics, including professionalism, social responsibility, ethical judgment, and accountability. The professional responsibilities of accountants are broad-based; they must serve clients and user groups whose needs, incentives, and goals may be in conflict. Further, accountants must interpret and apply codes of conduct, accounting and auditing principles, and securities regulations. Compliance with professional guidelines is judgment-based, and characteristics of the individual, the culture, and situations affect how these guidelines are interpreted and applied, as well as when they might be violated. Interactions between accountants, regulators, standard setters, and industries also have ethical components. Research into the nature of these interactions, resulting dilemmas, and how and why accountants resolve them, is the focus of this series.

Drawing on case studies and original research, David M. Noer--an expert frequently quoted in major media such as The Wall Street Journal and Fortune--provides executives, human resource professionals, managers, and consultants with an original model and clear guidelines for revitalizing downsized organizations.

Identifies and addresses the social/cultural impact of RIFs.......1999-04-13

TO SUMMARIZE CHAPTERS 1 - 6

Why all these negative impacts from lay-offs? Simple, no one took any steps to prepare the personnel for the changes of work and values. The managers who initiated the lay-offs are still stuck in denial themselves - their method of denial is sometimes "When the going gets tough, the tough get mean!" Denial is the main reason that the problems go untreated. Symptoms of denial are Gallows humor, death paradigms or figures of speech, "We have to be strong", "We are only doing what is necessary", "Chainsaw AL", etc.. - anything except a direct reference or description of what is being done. No one should be laughing at actions taken or at the resulting pain.

Basic economic and social changes have resulted in a paradigm shift for the employer - employee relationship. The changes are summarized as:

(OLD PARADIGM) vs *NEW PARADIGM* = (People as assets to be developed) vs * as costs to be reduced* & (Nurturing) vs *Violent* & (Develop) vs *Take out* & (Help) vs *Shoot* & (Grow) vs *Terminate* & (Long term) vs *Short term* & (a carrrer) vs *a job* & (make an employee) vs *buy an employee* & (Synergistic) vs *Reductionist* & (build up) vs *make smaller* & (develop) vs *cut*

[My own comment - It is interesting to note that corporations developed a system of codependency in order to reduce costs and to maintain valuable employees. This has resulted, over a long period of time, in too many employees. We are experiencing a violent "weeding of the garden". This situation may turn around shortly due to the increasing decline in available employees (zero unemployment). The last time society underwent such an upheaval was in Pre WWII Germany. The German economy exploded, but the resulting unmanaged social pressures caused a World War.]

CURES AND FIXES BEGIN WITH CHAPTER 7 Level One: Manage the Layoff Process (Chapter 7) Practice "Clean Kills" / Redundant Communication is Essential / "Managers should think of how they would behave when they are the authority figure at a funeral or during a time of crisis, confusion, or emotional tension in a small group or family" / Avoid Control Traps (Managing Communication (limiting information)) & (Managing Emotion (find a way to release emotions is best)) & (Managing an Unproductive Image (don't fake it)) / Lead from the Heart and Follow with the Head / Tell the truth and never say never / Avoid Denial Traps (deal with the problem directly) / Insure that you use Fairness, Equity, Participation, Caretaking, and Prior Notification (the more the better).

Level Two: Facilitate the Necessary Grieving (Chapter 8) Read all of chapter 8 - This chapter is loaded with information. Help the organization through the process of Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Outsiders are often necessary to facilitate this process as all of the insiders are too involved.

Level Three: Break the Codependency Chain and Empower People (Chapter 9) We will all have to take on the characteristics of Davy Crocket. He lived in a wild environment and depended on his own skills and resources. This resulted in a greater sense of freedom and higher self esteem. Change your mindset from Codependency to Independence

"A primary symptom of codependency is that the codependent's sense of value and identity is based on pleasing, and often controlling, not himself or herself but someone or something else. Codependents make themselves into permanent victims."

"Codependents are all collectively conspiring to be something that they do not want to be individually."

"Again and again in my practice, I see employees at all levels desperately trying to regain control of a decaying and nonproductive work environment."

"The paradox of codependency is that the controllers are always controlled; that is what makes them codependent." -- "they need to let go, to admit the folly of their attempts to control an uncontrollable situation."

[The truth shall set you free.]

Level Four: Build a New Employment Relationship (Chapter 10)

[You must read this chapter in full - I can't compress it.]

THE GREAT WAKE-UP CALL Please read chapters 11 and on for an understanding of the new relationship.

Book Description

Inside the Minds: Minimizing Product Liability Litigation is an indispensable guide for executives and attorneys seeking detailed tactics for protecting themselves against what can often be costly and time-consuming legal battles in the realm of product liability. Featuring partners and chairs representing some of the nation's top law firms, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of the most important issues surrounding litigation for product liability lawyers and their corporate clients. With background information on today's litigation climate and significant product liability laws, authors stress the importance of proactive strategies and extensive in-house preparation from both a legal and business approach. From creating sufficient product warnings to internal document control, whether handling international litigation or settling a class action suit, these experts offer proven strategies for helping companies deflect their largest liabilities.

About Inside the Minds:

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.

Project Gemini !!.......2006-09-07

If you want to read about Gemini, this is by far THE book to read!. EXTREME Detail on everything Gemini, and tons and tons of fascinating photos. Highly recommended!

The Most Comprehensive Review Of Gemini Available.......2005-03-20

Gemini was an incredibly important and successful program, but unfortunately is forever cast into the shadows by the even greater achievements of Apollo. There have been several other publications written on the subject of Gemini, but most are official NASA histories that are extremely difficult (and expensive) to obtain. In this book David Shayler documents all aspects of Project Gemini from inception to conclusion. He details not only the technical aspects of the Gemini spacecraft (and spacecraft subcomponents) but discusses the development, testing, and capabilities of the Titan, Atlas, and Agena vehicles which were so crucial in obtaining program goals. Each mission is discussed in detail, and there are many illustrations (including some I have never seen anywhere else), tables, and graphs providing most any information desired.

The book is lengthy, but is never boring, and I reveled in the thorough treatment given to this crucial program, a program that truly was a giant step to the moon. My only critiques of the book are fairly miniscule. There are numerous typographical errors in the text, most of which are quite obvious, so I am rather surprised they slipped through proofreading. There are also a couple of insignificant errors in the crew biographies (notably regarding Armstrong's post-NASA teaching career) that don't dramatically detract from the book as a whole, but would be good to correct in future editions.

I highly recommend this book, and salute David Shayler for writing such an outstanding book on such a critical program.

Everything About Gemini.......2004-06-05

I have always been interested in the Gemini program, yet little information seemed to exist about it. This book is incredibly comprehensive. It does not read like a novel like Andrew Chaikins, Man on the Moon. It is divided into indepth sections on the booster, the capsule, EVA, recovery, etc. Don't get me wrong, it captures the drama in each mission well but it is not always approached in a sequential manner regarding missions. It reminds me of the Apogee book series on each mission but this has all Gemini related topics rolled into one book.

If you like to read about the exact reasoning behind scrubbed launches, every success and failure related to hardware like the Ageena docing module or boosters, the issues faced on each EVA or which suit was used on which mission, how they differed and why then this is your book.
