Book Description

You have more information at hand about your business environment than ever before. But are you using it to “out-think” your rivals? If not, you may be missing out on a potent competitive tool.

In Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning , Thomas H. Davenport and Jeanne G. Harris argue that the frontier for using data to make decisions has shifted dramatically. Certain high-performing enterprises are now building their competitive strategies around data-driven insights that in turn generate impressive business results. Their secret weapon? Analytics: sophisticated quantitative and statistical analysis and predictive modeling.

For CPAs and corporate accountants.

Good Basic Book on Management.......2007-01-25

This is a good basic book on management which delves into the application of management concepts in organizations. The book explains how the four functions of management namely planning, organizing, leading and controlling are integrated and how they contribute to the success of a firm.

The authors methodically explain the management concepts and they provide readers with various tools and techniques that they can employ to effectively manage their organizations. The authors reinforced their message with numerous examples, illustrations, stories and case studies that are useful for assimilating the management concepts. There are some useful internet references that the reader can refer to should they need additional information. However, one does not need to stop reading to refer to the internet site but rather can visit it at one's own pleasure.

This is well written book in simple and straightforward English which should allow any reader with basic understanding of English to follow and understand the message. The book is also well laid out and attractive. It also covers ethical considerations that are very critical in today's business environment.

All-in-all, this is a good and comprehensive book on management which should meet the needs of business students at undergraduate levels or for any reader who needs to learn the fundamental management principles and their practical application.

Management.......2007-01-05

A very engaging book with many tools for being an effective leader. Book sites true life stories of success complete with groundbreaking innovation by company executives.

Mgmt. Review.......2006-09-14

The book was simplistic in the concepts and examples, little boring, but good book for high school business major wanna-bees

Great Book for Beginning Managers!.......2006-09-10

I am in a MBA program with little management background. I find this book to be excellent. It has tons of graphs with color and lots of case studies. It comes with an access code for you to get onto the website to take tests. If you are new to business I recommend this book.

Nice package, no Substance.......2006-03-04

This book looks really attractive. The layout is interesting, and makes it easy to find things. That is about the extent of the positives of this book, however.

This book features just about every annoying aspect of todays textbooks:

-The shotgun approach to teaching: instead of actually laying down any principles, the book uses the touchy feely "multiple persepectives" approach which results in a confused student wondering what he or she was supposed to have learned.

-Useless ethics. The book supposedly teaches ethics, but to avoid making anyone mad, it just tiptoes around issues with vague "thinking" questions.

-Poor word definitions. This book defines words in strange runaround ways, which don't make any sense. I've also seen some a lot of words defined as a different type (i.e. an adjective defined as a noun).

-Overly Complex diagrams. Studies of the brain show that we can only remember an average of 7 details about an item. Yet the book is full of diagrams with 11, 15, or 20-something items. It's simply not possible to be able to recall that many elements of a diagram without extensive study.

-Hey look, there's this thing called the internet. We should use it for something useful, but instead lets just annoy the student!
This book is full of annoying little references to internet content. When I'm reading, I just don't want to stop, open a webpage, and look at a silly little quiz. Additionally, students who buy a used book don't get a license for the internet content.

-Requiring professors to use pre-designed "test banks". In my class, our professor is required by the manufacturer to use only the test bank provided by the manufacturer. The questions are horrible! They don't address thing the professor chooses to speak on that our outside the textbook, and are very vague and confusing.

I realize the writers of this book put a lot of effort into it, and it really is an attractive product. To be usable, however,

Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling.......2007-05-14

This book is well thoughtout and easy to read. The layout including the PMI PMP reference is excellent.

Good Book: If You Use It For What It Is.......2007-01-28

I'm a book worm. I have studied the PMBOK Guide, the three standard PMP Study Guides (Rita, Sanghera, and Crowe), this book, and many others. This book is a good reference book for project management. It has lots of useful stuff in it. However, following is my opinion:
1. This book is NOT compatible with the PMBOK Guide. Simple: this book (as the name suggests) adopts a system approach to project management while PMBOK Guide takes the process approach. A fundamental difference. This book was originally written long time ago (this is the 9th edition). The PMBOK guide and this book started from different roots.
2. Do not use this book to prepare for the PMI exams (CAPM and PMP). Due to the difference in approaches, you will end up getting confused and lost in 1000 pages of this book.
3. Don't be fooled by the reference to the PMBOK Guide at various places in the book. Just stamping a material with the PMBOK Guide reference does not make it compatible with the PMBOK Guide.
4. Now, the fact that this book takes a different approach from the PMBOK Guide is not necessarily a bad thing. You can use it if you are looking for approaches to PM other than the PMBOK Guide approach. You can also use this book for academic exploration after you have mastered the PMBOK Guide approach and passed your PMP exam (if that's what you are up to).
Bottom line: Good PM reference but not the right book for the PMP exam preparation.

I hate textbooks..........2007-01-04

...but I enjoyed this one. Kerzner is a good writer. He is also remarkably funny considering the subject matter.

Best book on Project Management.......2006-06-30

This is the best book i've ever read on PM. If you are thinking on taking the PMI exam, read this book. If you're looking for a book to learn PM, read this book. If you're trying to apply best practices on your PM day to day practice, definitely, read this book.
This book is a classic. I have heard some PMPs quoted and recomended this book.
