How? By following the principles of The Deming Management Method. Middle- and top-echelon managers in particular will find Dr. Deming's method provocative and controversial. He is for a total revamping of the way American managers manage. Some of his pet peeves are: managers who manage by slogans or by setting quotas, managers who don't know what their jobs are and who can't define the responsibilities of the workers under them, managers who tend to blame workers, not realizing that workers want to take pride in their work. Change, Dr. Deming beliees, starts at the top with an informed, quality-conscious management. This book includes excellent advice on how to achieve that level of management expertise in the author's analysis of Dr. Deming's famous 14 Points for Managers and his Deadly diseases of management. Dr. Deming's management techniques are all carefully explained in this detailed, step-by-step treatment of their major points and of their practical applications to everyday business life. A large portion of The Deming Management Method is devoted to practical applications of the method by some of American's most innovative firms, including Honeywell, AT&T and Campbell's Soup. - Publisher.

Drawing on a wide range of ideas from strategy, economics, entrepreneurship and philosophy he stresses the importance of judgment in strategy, and argues that a key element of the entrepreneur and executive's task is to engage chosen uncertainties, develop a language to express and explain the firm's particular business model for dealing with these, and thus create innovation and value. At the same time he shows how the language the strategist creates to do this gives the firm identity and purpose, and communicates this to its members, stakeholders, and customers."--Jacket.

Executive producer, Susan Werbe.Second in a three--part series in which acclaimed documentary filmmakers present ten pivotal moments in American history and their often unforeseen repercussions. This segment of three documentary films records events at the beginning of the 20th century. The Homestead Strike on July 6, 1892 was the result of harsh working conditions at Carnegie's Homestead steel mill, a battle between management and the labor union. The assassination of President William McKinley at the 1901 World's Fair on Sept. 6, 1901, ushered in a new Progressive Era under Theodore Roosevelt. In July 1925, the trial of John Scopes ("the Monkey Trial") was a courtroom battle between William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow over the teaching of evolution in a small Tennessee town, and underscored a deep schism within the American psyche: religion versus science, church versus state, elitism versus populism.General.This film is not rated.DVD format.

I'm feeling lucky : the confessions of Google employee number 59 / by Edwards, Douglas,1958-;

You are one of us -- From whence I came -- In the beginning -- A world without form -- Marketing without "marketing" -- Giving process its due -- Real integrity and thoughts about God -- A healthy appetite for insecurity -- Cheap bastards who can't take a joke -- Wang dang doodle- good enough is good enough -- Rugged individualists with a taste for porn -- Google grows and finds its voice -- Lift off -- Fun and names -- Not the usual yada-yada -- Googlebombs and mail fail -- Managers in hot tubs and hot water -- Is New York alive? -- Where we stand -- Two speakers, one voice -- Mail enhancement and speaking in tongues -- The sell of a new machine -- Where we stand -- Aloha AOL -- We need another billion-dollar idea -- Froogle and friction -- Don't let marketing drive -- Mistakes were made -- Can this really be the end? -- S-1 for the money.Comparing Google to an ordinary business is like comparing a rocket to an Edsel. Edwards, Employee Number 59, offers the first inside view of Google, giving readers a chance to fully experience the bizarre mix of camaraderie and competition at this phenomenal company. Edwards, Google's first director of marketing and brand management, describes it as it happened. We see the first, pioneering steps of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company's young, idiosyncratic partners; the evolution of the company's famously nonhierarchical structure (where every employee finds a problem to tackle or a feature to create and works independently); the development of brand identity; the races to develop and implement each new feature; and the many ideas that never came to pass.
