The Unwritten Rules of the Game
It's been featured in the nation's business press as the next wave in management. It's being discussed, debated, & acclaimed in conferences & executive suites around the world. It's The Unwritten Rules of the Game, & here is the pathbreaking book that introduces this unique new approach to mastering corporate change. What drives day-to-day behavior in an organization? As Arthur D. Little consultant Peter Scott-Morgan has discovered, the silent engines are not official policies but unwritten rules. Deciphering those rules is the essential step in managing change-the number 1 item on just about every corporate agenda these days-because the process unfailingly reveals why people are simply unwilling to alter their behavior.
The End of Change
"In this book, you'll be taught how to assess both the level and the frequency of innovation in your organization and choose the structures that are most suitable for you at this time. You'll also be shown how to make a smooth transition from one Stability Structure to another when and if the need arises. By putting appropriate Structures in place, you'll have a system that automatically creates "shock absorbers" based on an in-depth understanding of how people react to change; maintains continuity across cycles to minimize disruption; encourages incremental innovation for people who can prepare in advance; creates safe places to fail; implements an early-warning system that recognizes disruption; trains experts who know how to pass on knowledge; and builds stability within teams."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

What Editors Do
"[This book] gathers essays from twenty-seven leading figures in book publishing about their work. Representing both large houses and small, and encompassing trade, textbook, academic, and children’s publishing, the contributors make the case for why editing remains a vital function to writers—and readers—everywhere. Ironically for an industry built on words, there has been a scarcity of written guidance on how to actually approach the work of editing. This book will serve as a compendium of professional advice and will be a resource both for those entering the profession (or already in it) and for those outside publishing who seek an understanding of it. It sheds light on how editors acquire books, what constitutes a strong author-editor relationship, and the editor’s vital role at each stage of the publishing process—a role that extends far beyond marking up the author’s text. This collection treats editing as both art and craft, and also as a career. It explores how editors balance passion against the economic realities of publishing."--
