The value of stories .......2005-05-09

As a trainer in the financial services industry, I often use stories to help me convey complex topics. I enjoyed reading Mr. Gargiulo's book as it supports my approach, but also triggers some thoughts on new/different ways to incorp & leverage the power of stories in my training and educational programs.

The Story Behind the Story.......2005-02-28

At last we have a definitive study by an original thinker who understands the difference between having something of value to say and having to say something. Terrance Gargiulo takes the reader by the hand and walks them through a garden of delightful stories told by real people in real businesses. Their powerful descriptions of what it's like to make critical decisions under pressure are crafted in story form, so that the reader is both enlightened and entranced. The final chapters of his book are are competency builders of first-rate quality, showing step-by-step how to improve your powers of observation and reflection so that you too can tell great stories.

Story Themes and Structure Demythologized.......2005-02-25

As a corporate presenter and technology coach I often get asked to construct themes and prepare story spines for important presentations. For me, Gargiulo's work is a terrific guide in devising a beginning, middle and end structure to match any client's business aim, be it organizational, strategic, market driven or entirely different. Gargiulo has a knack for understanding how stories can enrich and empower communication of all kinds, but in the generally dry corporate environment, they can be an important catalyst for change and deeper communication. I particularly liked Gargiulo's nine basic story types and what they can help the reader accomplish. Book is highly recommended for anyone seeking to broaden their communication skills in the corporate or academic arenas.

Life Changing Book.......2005-02-25

We don't have to be so frenetically, and I think ineffectively, busy all the time." That's good advice from Terrence Gargiulo's latest foray into the world of communications behavior: good, bad and ugly. His first book, "Making Stories", opened our eyes to the power of story telling as the basis for getting our needs met. This current work carries through with the testaments of real people in real jobs. Their examples of what worked (and what didn't) are followed by a series of practical exercises that are, at once, so simple and so powerful that we have to do them. Watch closely, because as you do the exercises your life is going to change and others will notice. At that point, the book has paid for itself and that's just the beginning. Start reading it now and be prepared for an adventure that won't stop!

The Generous Wisdom of "The Generous Earth".......2003-03-15

Phillip Oyler's "The Generous Earth" is a lyrical poem in prose to a world we have lost. Written in 1950 about his discovery and settlement into the river valley of the Dordogne in France after the First World War, Oyler's skill at observation and the ability to describe with beautiful language what he has seen and felt carry you back to that time and place. Moreover, it makes those of us not born to the land, and especially not to the mechanized agribusiness operations we see here in the States, understand the true meaning of being one with the earth and its cycles of life. The peasants of the Dordogne (the term is used with pride by them and the author)understand the rhythms of nature, the land and its people. Oyler's narrative captures their wisdom,joy and pride in their hard work as they go about the daily routines that define their lives. He rejoices in their care and support for each other; how they share their labors communally for individual benefit; and the way in which they celebrate the passages of life. He comiserates with the elders who see the seductive forces pulling their children away from the farms and the impact of mechanization on the land. Yet it is the book's descriptions of food, conviviality and appreciation of nature that preserves an image of this life gone by and help the modern reader to understand a lifestyle that had more to offer than mere existence. In the end, this book passes along wisdom that took generations to discover. We need it now more than ever.

Book Description

Edith Alicia Müller (1918-1995) was the IAU General Secretary from 1976 to 1979, the first woman to have this responsibility. Many friends, students and colleagues, and others who have met Edith at different occasions, give in this book their memories of her.
Her fundamental work in solar physics concerned the chemical composition of the Sun, the time variation of its infra-red spectrum, and its thermal structure. Her interests were, however, far broader than that. She was heavily involved in international work for the teaching of astronomy and for the exchange program of young astronomers.

Book Description

This volume of Advances in the Management of Organizational Quality continues to deal with the multifaceted nature of quality in work organizations. It brings together papers that expand the horizons in this area and that challenge some of the long standing beliefs that have become taken for granted but are in need of greater scrutiny. The issues discussed in these papers include: the impact of multiple improvement programs in manufacturing organizations; the major philosophical underpinnings of the quality paradigm with respect to goals, compared with goal setting theory; the contrast between the philosophy behind quality management and that of traditional human resource management (HRM); strategy-content issues in total quality management; the application of quality management principles in franchising chains; links between the concept of work quality and worker's religious and moral values; and the interaction between organizational politics and quality.

Book Description

Over the past two decades, not only has supply chain analysis become a strategic focus of leading firms, it has also spawned an impressive array of research that brings together diverse research communities. Adding to this diversity and intellectual energy is the emergence of E-Business. E-Business creates new competitive dimensions that are fast-paced, ever-changing, and risk-prone, dimensions where innovation, speed, and technological savvy often define success. Most importantly, E-Business challenges the premises and expands the scope of supply chain analysis. The Handbook is a comprehensive research reference that is essential for anyone interested in conducting research in supply chain. Unique features include:

-A focus on the intersection of quantitative supply chain analysis and E-Business,
-Unlike other edited volumes in the supply chain area, this is a handbook rather than a collection of research papers. Each chapter was written by one or more leading researchers in the area. These authors were invited on the basis of their scholarly expertise and unique insights in a particular sub-area,
-As much attention is given to looking back as to looking forward. Most chapters discuss at length future research needs and research directions from both theoretical and practical perspectives,
-Most chapters describe in detail the quantitative models used for analysis and the theoretical underpinnings; many examples and case studies are provided to demonstrate how the models and the theoretical insights are relevant to real situations,
-Coverage of most state-of-the-art business practices in supply chain management.

Audience: This volume is suitable for researchers, faculty, graduate students, and practitioners in the following areas: supply chain management, operations research, management science, decision science, industrial engineering, operations management, civil engineering/transportation, logistics management, risk management, applied mathematics, economics, computer science, industrial management, and other related areas.
