“Many important corners
are explored that are not available elsewhere in the literature.” “Boehm does include all
of the key elements [of defense] .... Penalty doubles are covered
comprehensively.” |
|||
· Description
This book teaches the principles
of good defense. When you feel reasonably confident about your ability to
defend, you will feel more secure in doubling the opponents. Successful penalty
doubles are a sure way to improve your performance. Using the Socratic method,
the book links defense to penalty doubles in a sequential progression. This
book will have strong appeal to tournament players of intermediate ability.

· Description
Part I of this book will equip
you with a variety of useful, easy-to-master bidding tools to help you and
partner discover when to grab the 3NT brass ring, and, just as important, when
to avoid it. Reaching good 3NT contracts doesn't confer an automatic
bonus-there is that niggling rule about needing to make what you bid. So, Part
II is dedicated to the play of 3NT. Since you are apt to defend 3NT twice as
often as you declare (50% versus 25%), defensive counters are given full
weight.

· Description
Nothing exemplifies the
keen competitive spirit of tournament bridge better than the penalty double.
Anytime a final contract is doubled, the stakes are raised—not just the score
but the implied mano a mano challenge. When you acquire a feel for opportunistic
penalty doubles, you have added a potent weapon to your arsenal. Your courage
to double freely and wisely will make you a respected and feared opponent. And
if the opponents occasionally make a doubled contract against you, be consoled
by what a mentor taught me: if they never make a doubled contract, you aren’t
doubling often enough. This book, like my books on demon doubling and 3NT, is
intended for the intermediate and advanced intermediate club and tournament
player.

· Description
While multinational
corporations have struggled with international HR problems over decades, the
United Nations organizations have developed a well-functioning career
development system in a multicultural environment that is one of the most
remarkable success stories of the United Nations. Globalization and Human
Resource Management is the first book to compare the HRM strategies and
practices of the UN system to those of the private sector and show how to
modify them to suit the objectives of MNCs. The implications are
straightforward and will have immediate practical impact.
As the US dollar has
significantly depreciated, US companies are, now more than ever, seeking
business opportunities overseas. At the same time, they have to master
ostracizing cultural challenges. Globalization and Human Resource Management
is must reading for decision makers in international business, including HR
managers, CEOs, COOs, CFOs, business development managers, sales &
marketing managers, public relations managers, and other corporate strategists.

· Description
Santa Claus is in trouble.
His workshop at the North Pole has been cruising along for centuries, but Santa
now finds his customer base-the world's children-dwindling. He realizes that
changes are necessary but discovers that implementing them is another matter
altogether. Through trial and error, Santa learns that change is not about
modeling, restructuring, pay increases, or bellowing orders. It is about people
believing in change and wanting it to happen.
Lively and entertaining, Managing
Change in the Workplace takes the reader along the often bumpy path of
introducing an organization to change. Each chapter focuses on a different
aspect of change and concludes with a handy checklist to guide the reader
around the obstacles to change. Based on solid management principles, Managing
Change in the Workplace will have strong appeal for management consultants,
project managers, corporate trainers, and CEOs and other executives
implementing organization-wide initiatives.
