It inspired me to become involved with the local paddling community on Oahu, a decision that has reaped more blessings than can be imagined. It also inspired me to relook at my own photography and strive for even more imaginative opportunities such as Joss has found. This is definitely a coffee table book, however, as the ...             Unlocking Opportunities for Growth: How to Profit from Uncertainty While Limiting Your Risk4 reviews Alexander B. van Putten, Ian C. MacMillan Wharton School Publishing, 2008 High growth, low risk - it's all in the management approach It's tragic, but true.

MacMillan Harvard Business Review, 1995 Smart companies may incur huge losses when they enter unknown territory--new alliances, markets, products, technologies. Failures could be prevented or their cost contained if managers approached innovative ventures with the right planning and control tools. Discovery-driven planning is a practical tool that acknowledges the difference between planning for a new venture and for a more conventional business. Using Kao Corp.'s entry into floppy ...             Discovery Driven Strategy: Unconventional Paths to Exceptional Growth Rita Gunther McGrath, Ian C. Macmillan Harvard Business School Press, 2009             Red Wind2 reviews Ian MacMillan Mutual Publishing, 1998 Wow! Now that I've finished the book, I truly miss the characters. This is a "don't miss" for anyone interested in novels based in Hawaii. I have rarely read a book that is put together as well as this one.             The Braid2 reviews Ian MacMillan Mutual Publishing, 2005 Homeless in Paradise I enjoyed this book a lot because it has so much local flavor and taste. I have one major complaint that may or may not be important to you. It is the fact that the Mr. McMillan calls Spam Musubi's Rice Bombs. No one I know ever uses that term and is the first I heard of it. The author uses this reference several time and once he called it Spam Musubi. Maybe that is just a little detail, but it ...             MarketBusting: Strategies for Exceptional Business Growth (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition) Rita Gunther McGrath, Ian C. MacMillan Harvard Business Review, 2005 If company leaders were granted a single wish, it would surely be for a reliable way to create new growth businesses.

Each story is very unique, and MacMillan definitely knows how to use words to its fullest potential. Subtitled "Stories Of Hawai'i", the short stories all have to do with people in Hawai'i. Not only do you want to read them, but ...             It Hurts2 reviews Matthew Collings, Ian MacMillan 21 Publishing, 1999 Funny, sharp and on-target dissection of NY Art Crowd If you liked Tom Wolfe's THE PAINTED WORD, you'll love IT HURTS. Collings' style is a cross between Wolfe's and the Warhol Diaries. His stream-of-consciousness tour of Artland is a travelogue which bites back. I laughed out loud, though in the end found myself deeply disturbed. Must reading!             Corporate Venturing: Creating New Businesses Within the Firm3 reviews Zenas Block, Ian C. Macmillan Harvard Business School Press, 1995 Academic, but real world implications While the book is written by academics, it is dead on when addressing the primary reasons corporate venturing units succeed or fail. It may not tell you the detailed mechanics of starting such a unit, but the information inside is far more valuable than a paint-by-numbers. Balancing the needs of a venturing unit vs. the gravitational pull of the core business is key - and this book will tell you ...             Spur Market-Busting Growth (HBR Article Collection) Rita Gunther McGrath, Ian C. MacMillan, ... Harvard Business Review, 2005 To spur new growth, stop competing the way your rivals do. Instead, rewrite the rules of the game and stake out new market spaces.

And serve ...             Explorations in Information Space: Knowledge, Actor, and Firms1 review Max H Boisot, Ian C MacMillan, ...

The book provides an wide unlimited view regarding knowledge management.Definitely more still needs to be done on Knowledge Managament, this is evident from what is presented by the authors.             Village of a Million Spirits: A Novel of the Treblinka Uprising11 reviews Ian MacMillan Penguin (Non-Classics), 2000 Astounding Clearly, Stephen G. Esrati (review below) has an obsession with footnotes (a footnote fetish, if you will). Leave it to the "expertise" of a writer for stamp collectors to give such a ridiculously blind review of one of the most amazing books on the Holocaust ever written. Village of a Million Spirits is, quite simply, a mind-blowing account of the Treblinka revolt. Perhaps unlike Mr. Esrati, I ...             The Seven Orchids (Literature) Ian MacMillan University of Hawaii Press, 2006              search for books businesses, collection, continuously, corporate, creating, discovery, discovery-driven, enhanced, entrepreneurial, exceptional, explorations, information, innovation, knowledge, limiting, literature, market-busting, marketbusters, marketbusting, opportunities, opportunity, planning, strategic, strategies, strategy, treblinka, uncertainty, unconventional, unlocking, venturing books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
