    Book Description

    This essential book collects together, for the first time, the writings of Deirdre McCloskey on economic history and the rhetoric of economics. The essays have been presented to show McCloskey's evolution over time: from economist to critic, positivist to postmodernist, conventional economist to feminist economist, man to woman. Measurement and Meaning in Economics allows the reader to experience an astonishing personal and intellectual journey with one of today's most fascinating economists.

    McCloskey argues that economics has become ahistorical and narrowly scientific, which is a harmful development for a moral science. In all of the papers presented in this volume she writes with historical consciousness and critical understanding, in an attempt to repair the dysfunctional relationship between economics and the humanities.

    This book should be read not only by students and scholars of economic history and philosophy, but by all those concerned with the state of economics and its place in the social sciences.

        5 out of 5 stars Amazing! .......2007-02-20

        I was not quite sure what I would get from this book, since Peter F. Drucker is quoted so much by other managers (and many who are bad :) This book covered a macro & micro economic managerial view. Mr. Drucker thoroughly covers the full trend from agriculture, industrial, blue collar/white collar, all the way to the current knowledge worker trend. He states the truth about outsourcing (which in my opinion has been twisted out of context to what Mr. Drucker proposed as the approach companies should take). This book also covers the neoclassic conservatism and the US approach with this for further backing of capitalism. I was surprised to read that Mr. Drucker disagreed with some of the overly conservative view. And I get from the interview that he does value family and the values around family. I sure wish corporations would take his advice on that, rather than pick and choose what they hope will get them their next bonuse off of overworked people! I thought this book was awesome!! This is a book to read for full managerial and corporate trends! Very good book! Before you read someone like the unethical Jack Welch, pick up Peter F. Drucker and absorb real advice!

        4 out of 5 stars Team leader.......2003-09-02

        Outsourcing has less to do with economizing than with quality. Information is replacing authority. Most people still have the big company mentality buried in their assumptions.

        A knowledge economy's greatest pitfall is becoming a mandarin meritocracy. The key to the productivity of knowledge workers is to make them concentrate on real assignments. One should be intolerant of intellectual arrogance. A balance needs to be worked out between specialization and exposure.

        Every organization has a theory of business. Sometimes reality changes but the theory of business does not change with it. The assumption that the computer industry is hardware driven paralyzed IBM.

        Assumptions about environment, mission, and core competencies must fit reality. Rapid growth is a sure sign there is a crisis in the business theory. Unexpected success and unexpected failure equally show an inadequate theory of business.

        Mass retailers had based their strategy on market homogeneity. Whosoever exploits structural trends is almost certain to succeed. The worship of premium pricing always creates a market for the competition.

        There is a trend toward alliances as a vehicle of business growth. The modern organization has social responsibility. An organization is effective only if it concentrates on one task. Knowledge workers cannot be supervised effectively.

        In team building there are three kinds of teams. The first is the baseball team with fixed positions. The second is the football team where players play as a team at the behest of a coach. The third is the tennis doubles team where players have primary rather than fixed positions.

        History books record the squalor of early industry. Nevertheless, the workers were better off working in the factories than they were on the farm or in domestic service. Blue collar workers were manual laborers.

        The emerging society is one based on knowledge. The central workforce will consist of highly specialized people. The knowledge society is an employee society. The Japanese term for continuous improvement is kaizen. An old Bell Telephone invention is benchmarking. For the most part downsizing has not resulted in the hoped for improvements.

        The book is a collection of essays and interviews. The middle sags but the material near the beginning and the end of the volume is first rate.

        4 out of 5 stars Great even if dated........2003-03-13

        Even dated there is something to be learned from this book. Drucker is one of the few people who not only talks about the future of business but clarifies the present business climate. Even when he is wrong about what will happen, which he will be one of the first to say, he is smart enough to admit it and learn from it. Drucker gives solid practical advice and insight to all aspects of business. And more importantly what should be part of business. I give the book a B+ on the StuPage just because of it being dated.

        5 out of 5 stars Packed with Knowledge!.......2002-05-14

        Peter Drucker's greatest hits. That's the easiest way to describe this book, which compiles essays written by the ultimate management guru from 1991 to 1994. All of theses essays are about change: changes in the economy, society, business and in organizations in general. Drucker's advice on how managers should adjust to these tectonic shifts centers around the rise of the now ubiquitous knowledge worker and the global economy. As always, Drucker's analysis is far enough ahead of the curve that his 90s-era observations and conclusions are still relevant in the 21st century. We from getAbstract recommend this seamlessly organized book as the perfect introduction to one of the most important management thinkers of his generation.

        5 out of 5 stars The best scientific book on managing.......1998-12-15

        Peter F. Drucker 1995 book is the expected counter scientific answer for Managers in a Time of great change. To manage complexity properly in all fields we always have had the need of a good theory so that we can make not only predictions but also controling our changing environment. The Drucker`s theory of Business is based on a fundamental schema he also uses in the most original theory of society we have ever heard. Transcending the traditional dualistic paradigm of dividing society into two sectors, the Public sector or Goverment and the Private sector or Business, Drucker propose a threefold schema, which can be very useful among all in, in those countries in which "the social sector" is a political mean to maintain the control of people at any price. In this sense he is completely right when he says that there are not poor countries, but countries bad administrated. The most important thing with Drucker thought is that is consistent, precise and why not scientific. Today when change is a fashion word this book is a great aid for those leaders interested to take their organization into a new stage of mankind.

        3 out of 5 stars Good for a read every now and then or if searching for a help topic.......2007-02-11

        While the content of the book is valid its presentation and lack of continuous theme tying the points from one page to the next leaves the reader in a state of bewilderness. This book is put together as a collection of points as if they were published in a national newspaper over a series of editions.

        The pages are a little busy, and the content on each page somewhat distracting, with a heading and subheading at the turn of every other page in addition to a quote (very well selected quotes) and the author continues to ask questions to the reader on each subsequent page - this would serve as a good checklist but not as a book to read in guidance of managing in times of change. In my opinion it wasn't a good read...more of a reference.

        I think i was looking for a more complete read, with developing stories about implementing techniques for change. Maybe i have been spoiled by reading 'building successful teams' by Bill Butterworth prior to this.

        5 out of 5 stars Very useful.......2007-01-26

        This book helped me be more effective with my people. It is very easy to use.

        5 out of 5 stars For Any Modern Manager.......2007-01-26

        Michael Maginn has found a way to break management down to its essential features while focusing specifically on the types of change with which most companies must deal. Very informative and applicable.

        5 out of 5 stars Swimming with the tides of change.......2005-04-26

        There is a great deal of advice about handling change in the workplace. What I especially liked about this book is how the ideas are broken into bite-sized, digestible chunks. The writing is down-to-earth, practical, helpful; the tone is one of friendly exhortation. This is a no-nonsense tactical manual for anyone leading (or simply experiencing) organizational change. Encouraging us to see change as opportunity rather than something to dread, it helps keep the reader buoyant with the tides of change.

          Book Description

          Corporate leaders are facing many new challenges: lack of confidence in corporate governance; flat economies throughout the industrialized world; the effects of increased globalization; and dramatic changes in employees ' working lives, to name but a few. This topical book looks at the requirements for effective leadership in these turbulent times.The book is written by a team of leading international experts who review the latest thinking on effective management strategies for the new world of work. Leaders of tomorrow, they propose, must manage their own performance and development, must create highly-motivated and skilful human resources, must lead on issues such as governance and ethics, and must lead change. Leading in Turbulent Times is the third in a series of books published by Blackwell, all of which tackle the challenges faced by organizations today, organizational responses to these challenges, and the effects of these responses on shareholders. The previous two books in the series are The Organization in Crisis (2000) and The New World of Work (2002).

                                          Multivariate statistical methods are described in this study and advice is given on how best to apply these methods using CANOCO software. Data sets and program files for the case studies are provided on a supporting website. The book is useful to anyone studying complex ecological problems, such as the variation of biotic communities with environmental conditions or their response to experimental manipulations. It is primarily targeted at ecologists who need to analyze data resulting from field observations and experiments.

                                          This book is primarily written for ecologists needing to analyse data resulting from field observations and experiments. It will be particularly useful for students and researchers dealing with complex ecological problems, such as the variation of biotic communities with environmental conditions or the response of biotic communities to experimental manipulation. Following a simple introduction to ordination methods, the text focuses on constrained ordination methods (RDA, CCA) and the use of permutation tests on statistical hypotheses of multivariate data. An overview of classification methods, or modern regression methods (GLM, GAM, loess), is provided and guidance on the correct interpretation of ordination diagrams is given. Seven case studies of varying difficulty help to illustrate the suggested analytical methods, using the Canoco for Windows software. The case studies utilise both the descriptive and manipulative approaches, and they are supported by data sets and project files available from the book website.
