What I Didn't Learn in Business School
Meet John Downs. He's a new MBA graduate who's landed a job with a strategy consultancy. His engagement team is on a mission: help HGS Inc., a specialty chemicals firm, define and execute a strategy for exploiting a textile technology the company developed. John and his team deploy state-of-the-art strategy tools to analyze the attractiveness of potential markets for the technology. But they soon realize the tools don't help them grapple with the human side of strategy--including political forces swirling within HGS. Everyone involved in the engagement is biased and insecure, brilliant and hardworking, selfish and lazy, loyal and dedicated. John and his cohorts aren't "real"--What I Didn't L...
Defeating Operation Hydra
The year is 2002. War is imminent. As coalition forces gather to invade Iraq, Saddam Hussein plans his counterattack. In Colombia, a consortium of global businesses, secretly known as Operation Hydra, has developed a new and lethal breed of chemical and biological weapons and plans to sell them to the highest bidder. Saddam ́s access to these WMDs would alter the outcome of the Second Gulf War. In Manhattan, Sharon Weinstock, a brilliant but neurotic prosecutor, verges on a nervous breakdown. In an uncharacteristic act of spontaneity, she leaves her job and flies to Aruba, hoping to confront her demons and pursue her Zen state. While there, she stumbles onto the principals behind Operation Hydra and unwittingly involves herself in their deadly conspiracy. As she unravels their secrets, they draw her ever deeper into their dark world. She must discover within herself the courage necessary to take on the forces behind Operation Hydra and prevent catastrophe in the Middle East.
Real Sister
From The Real Housewives of Atlanta to Flavor of Love, reality shows with predominantly black casts have often been criticized for their negative representation of African American women as loud, angry, and violent. Yet even as these programs appear to be rehashing old stereotypes of black women, the critiques of them are arguably problematic in their own way, as the notion of “respectability” has historically been used to police black women’s behaviors. The first book of scholarship devoted to the issue of how black women are depicted on reality television, Real Sister offers an even-handed consideration of the genre. The book’s ten contributors—black female scholars from a variet...

From Industrial Organization to Entrepreneurship
This book celebrates the contributions of David B. Audretsch, Distinguished Professor at the School of Public and Environment Affairs (SPEA) at Indiana University (USA), co-founder and co-editor of Small Business Economics, and former Director of the Entrepreneurship, Growth and Public Policy Group at the erstwhile Max Planck Institute of Economics (Jena, Germany). For his pioneering work, which explores the links between entrepreneurship, government policy, innovation, economic development, and global competitiveness, he has received the 2001 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research from the Swedish Foundation for Small Business Research and the 2011 Schumpeter Prize from the University of Wuppertal (Germany). This volume features original contributions from over 50 leading scholars to map, analyze and evaluate the impact of Audretsch’s research on a broad spectrum of research fields, ranging from economics to entrepreneurship and geography. The development and evolution of key ideas which have significantly shaped theory and future research across these fields are also explored.

Employees and Entrepreneurship
Over the last few decades, there has been a great deal of management literature recommending the removal of firms hierarchies and the empowerment of employees. Ivan Pongracic, Jr. examines these themes through the lenses of the economic theory of the firm. Balancing the tendency for management literature to overlook basic costs and trade-offs of decentralization, and the rigidity of economics that hinders an appreciation for the real world phenomenon of decentralization, this book arrives at a realistic middle ground between the two extremes. The dance between hierarchy and employee empowerment exists in even the most hierarchical firms, and this book explores this often overlooked dynamic. ...
Celebrating America’s Pastimes: Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Marketing?
This book contains the full proceedings of the 2015 Academy of Marketing Science Annual Conference held in Denver, Colorado. Marketing has become ubiquitous: it doesn’t matter who you are, where you are or what you are doing, you cannot escape it. In these times of instantaneous news, information and entertainment, everyone is exposed to messages from the moment they awake until the minute they drift off to sleep. America spends the most money in the world on advertising and other marketing communication. So, it could be said that marketing is America’s pastime, as much so as the classics: baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie. Under the theme of “ Celebrating America’s Pastimes: Basebal...
