Very Helpful to the HR professional!!.......2003-01-29

I actually bought this book because I was working on a class project for Labor Relations and needed to read Chapter 7. Once I got the book, though, I realized that I had actually gotten a treasure. This book will help any HR professional who wants to think strategically and find a way to quantify the value of any organization's most valuable commodity-its people. The book is surprisingly easy to read and understand.

It contains very helpful and useful information. I would recommend this book very highly.

From the supplier: Activity-based costing (ABC) has become a valuable tool for cost management, total quality management and business process reengineering. Initially just a method for product costing, it is now often used as an alternative approach for generating relevant information for different kinds of decisions. While traditional costing or accounting systems provide accurate and objective product cost data, ABC always yields data relevant for management decisions.

From the author: Activity-based costing (ABC) has been much studied and much written about over the last decade. While the topic has received a great deal of coverage from a technical and theoretical standpoint, accounts of actual implementation experiences have received relatively less study. If ABC is to be an important addition to management practice, the theory must be translated into successful implementation. This survey reports on the extent of research that applies the theory of organizational change to the topic of ABC implementation. It finds the area under-researched, and makes suggestions for new studies.

From the supplier: There is a dearth of research on the implementation of activity-based costing despite the great amount of theoretical and academic information on the topic. A survey of theoretical studies on the subject indicates that there is no continuity or 'track' in the studies performed. Research and empirical evidence for the theoretical aspects of activity-based costing will contribute much to organizational practice and success.

From the supplier: Companies use activity-based costing (ABC) to make good management decisions. ABC entails the identification of significant cost elements in the organization and the activities directly involved in costing. ABC's more in-depth approach stimulates comprehensive cost analysis and wider profit margins. Moreover, the use of an integrated software system facilitates the implementation of ABC.

From the author: This study examined the complementarity effects of balanced scorecard (BSC) and activity based costing (ABC) on organizational performance. Survey data were collected from 83 U.S. manufacturing business units. Four measures of BSC perspectives were used, namely, customer satisfaction perspective, internal process perspective, financial perspective and learning and growth perspective. One measure of ABC was used. The results indicate that, except for internal process perspective, the BSC perspectives and ABC interaction has a positive significant effect on organizational performance. The implications, limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

From the author: Target costing (TC) is an emerging tool in strategic cost management that is used to reduce costs and to assist management in making strategic decisions. Researchers have noted a link should exist between a firm's TC program and competitive strategy (Ansari and Bell, 1997). This study evaluates the competitive environment and strategy of firms that have been identified as implementers of TC to determine whether specific environmental factors coupled with firm strategy can be traced to a firm's decision to adopt TC. Of particular interest is whether product differentiators, cost leaders (Porter, 1985) or implementers of Cooper's (1995) confrontational strategy are more likely to adopt a TC program as a function of their competitive environment. Data were gathered through interviews with managers. Each firm was analyzed separately and collectively to determine whether patterns exist in the competitive environment and strategy. The sample includes both U.S. and German companies that have adopted TC. We used a re latively new statistical technique, known as Classification and Regression Trees (CART), to determine relationships among the independent variables that explain and predict the competitive environment of TC adopters. Our results support the expected relationship between strong competitive forces and the use of TC. Intense rivalry among competitors appears to be a driving force in the competitive environment of TC firms. This study lays the groundwork for further research concerning the types of firms adopting the system and the identification of factors leading to successful implementation of TC.

From the supplier: Six functional areas in which international human resource managers can realize savings when dealing with expatriate human resource management are discussed. These cover recruitment, selection, development, employment, support and retention of people. This bottom-line oriented approach in expatriate human resource management, however, requires thoroughness, alertness and awareness and communications ability on the part of the international human resource manager to be successfully implemented.

Book Description

Neophyte sky watchers who try to use standard, often complex astronomical charts and maps can often end up confused and frustrated. This beautifully illustrated volume makes identifying heavenly objects easy. All viewers need to supplement this book when they go starwatching is a simple red-lens flashlight and a small telescope. If unavailable, a pair of binoculars, or even the naked eye will do. Guided by Starwatch, readers can observe the sky month-by-month as it completes its annual cycle. The author shows how to locate such constellations as Ursa Major (the Big Dipper), Orion, Gemini, Pegasus, and many others. He also points out the major stars in each constellation, noting fascinating facts about many of them. For instance, Orion's main star, Betelgeuse, is approximately 250 times bigger than our own Sun—a comparison parallel to the difference between a marble and a beach ball. He also tells how to find the planets in the night sky, see Jupiter's moons with ordinary binoculars, and even how to find those deep-space objects called nebulae on clear dark nights. Facts and illustrations fill every page of this fascinating book, which is divided into separate chapters for every month of the year. It's an exciting introduction to astronomy for both kids and adults, and it features more than 300 vivid color illustrations.

A valuable resource book for any reader who wishes to explore the relationship between concepts of chemistry and practical applications.

Book Description

This book is about the genetics and behaviour of individuals within colonies of social insects - bees, wasps, ants, and termites. Colonial living is characterized by division of labour and finely coordinated organization, by reproductive function being limited to certain individuals, by cooperative brood care, and by the presence of non-reproductive workers. Within a colony, however, may events are the result of conflicts between individuals seeking to maximize their own interests. Crozier and Pamilo's contribution is to analyse the genetic bases of the patterns of reproduction and resource allocation found in social insect colonies. This is done more comprehensively and with greater depth and insight than in any previous study, and is a significant step forward in the fields of population genetics and social evolution.

Wild story from the wild west.......2007-10-08

May Dodd is the daughter of a wealthy family in Chicago who humiliates them by running off with her lover and having two children by him without marrying. Her family has her committed to an asylum as her indiscretion could only be caused by insanity. But she is ultimately given an opportunity to gain her freedom from the asylum - she must relocate west and become the bride of a Cheyenne Indian.

Little Wolf is the Cheyenne Chief who proposes to President Grant that the two nations trade 1000 white women for 1000 horses. It is Little Wolf's belief that by having children with the white brides that the offspring will bring the Cheyenne closer to the white world and thus begin the process of assimilation. The US Government takes the Indian Nation up on its offer in secret sending only those women who volunteer or want the freedom to escape their current lives, such as women in asylums and jails. May Dodd jumps on this opportunity and becomes a leader amongst the other women who believe the west has something to offer.

This novel is comprised of the journal entries of May Dodd and letters that she writes to loved ones back home understanding that they will never be mailed. Her writing chronicles the daily life of the Cheyenne from the elaborate wedding ceremony the white women experience, to the everyday chores and friendships that are born on the vast prairies. It is a unique look at how the Native American life may have been in the late 1800s, but also provides a sharp contrast between that life and that of the whites. The story is not without conflict and does a good job of presenting the perspective of the Native American as the white man trampled over their lands and customs.

Something about this book just didn't grab me and hold on. It was interesting and informative, but I had trouble buying into the May Dodd character. She was a bit too strong willed to be plausible. While others around her experienced terrifying fear, she almost brushes her own experience with fear and danger aside too callously. Not to say that she didn't acknowledge the people and circumstances that scared her, but it was minimized in such a way that it became hard to read her as a believable character. The story is moving, but was missing something that is hard to put a finger on.

Engrossing read.......2007-10-06

I loved this book! At the very beginning I was a bit skeptical but once I got into it I couldn't stop listening. I read some other reviews that mentioned finding men writing in a woman's voice not believable but I disagree. An author is a story teller and can tell a story from many perspectives, you need to use your imagination... it's fiction! After only a little way into the book I was immersed in the time, place and beauty of the setting. I loved the characters, a lot of variety and different peronalities. The Native American way of life was quite interesting and although this book was written in a plain spoken way it really came alive for me. I would highly suggest this book to anyone. It's an easy read and I think a "page turner."

Loved it.......2007-10-03

I loved this book and am so sad that it ended. I hope his other books are as good as this one because I really liked his writing style. I read all the time and this is the best book I have read in a long time. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. I would highly reccomend it!

Great read with unexpected story line.......2007-10-03

I asked some friends what was the best thing they'd read lately. When they mentioned the title of this book I could not imagine what it was about and visualized something like the Million Man March...in reverse? :-)
Even when they told me a bit of the plot line I wasn't sure about "One Thousand White Women". But they said they couldn't put it down so I gave it a try. I loved it - so much so that I bought it as a gift for someone else. The book intertwines a bit of a real story with 'what might have been'. I found myself so engrossed in the book that I forgot it was fiction...and wished it wasn't.

one of the best.......2007-10-02

One of the best books I've read in a long time! Right up there with Memoirs of a Geisha, from the point of view of a man writing as a woman and getting it so perfectly. Also because, like Geisha, the book transports you to another place and time and you feel like you have met a whole bunch of new friends. Read it!!!!
