Bullseye!
In order to cope with new market dynamics, including global competition and ever changing information technologies, organisations must be able to adjust their strategies more frequently and faster than ever before. In BULLSEYE!, William Schiemann and John Lingle outline the importance of measurement systems for creating, guiding, facilitating, and accelerating change, and they detail a concise approach to tracking performance based on four defining concepts: change; measurement; alignment; and results. After discussing the importance and difficulties of implementing a well-integrated measurement system, the authors lead readers through the four phases of this process: developing a strategic template; designing the measures of these goals; cascading the 'scorecards' for these measurements down through the organisation; and embedding the scorecard process into procedures. With a checklist for each phase, this practical guide will guide managers towards building an efficient company that will beat the competition!

Signaling Pathways and Molecular Mediators in Metastasis
This work presents the most advanced discoveries from translational research laboratories directly involved in identifying molecules and signalling pathways that play an instrumental role in metastasis. In contrast to other works, conventionally focused on a single type of tumour, the various chapters in this book provide a broad perspective of the similarities and discrepancies among the dissemination of several solid malignancies. Through recurrent and overlapping references to molecular mechanisms and mediators, the readers will gain knowledge of the common ground in metastasis from a single source. Finally, an introductory chapter provides a clinical perspective of the problems presented by metastatic tumours for diagnosis and treatment. The work presented here is directed to researchers in tumour biology with a developing interest in metastatic dissemination as well as medical and graduate students seeking to expand and integrate the notions acquired in basic cancer biology and oncology courses.
The State of the Masses
Is the consciousness of Americans in the midst of dramatic transformation? Or do people think and feel much the same as they have always thought and felt? Do most people enjoy their work, or hate it? Is the American family being replaced by new institutional forms, or is it much the same as it was in the 1950's? Have material values been replaced by a "postmaterial consciousness" in a postindustrial society? Are Americans becoming more conservative, less conservative, or staying about the same? "State of the Masses" asks the important questions.
