I recommend Case in Point for 2 main reasons: It is both practical and thorough. The simulated cases give the novice a sense for the given-and-take of a case interview. And Cosentino's "Ivy Case System" helps non-MBAs to get grounded in the broad classes of issues that companies, and hence consultants, face. My advice: Kick-start your case interview preparation with this guide, and then ...             Strategies That Work: Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement36 reviews Stephanie Harvey, Anne Goudvis Stenhouse Publishers, 2007 great for english language arts teachers I loved this book.

Chan Kim, Renée Mauborgne Harvard Business School Press, 2005 Strategy will always include opportunity and risk Strategy: 1. In blue oceans, competition is irrelevant because the rules of the game are waiting to be set. Companies need to go beyond competing. To seize new profit and growth opportunities, they also need to create blue oceans. 2. Put the clock forward 20 to 50 years and ask yourself how many unknown industries will exist. Surprisingly, many of the unknown industries will exist. 3. ...             When Markets Collide: Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change22 reviews Mohamed El-Erian McGraw-Hill, 2008 Excellent 5- to 10-year Outlook It's hard to imagine someone having more cred's than Mohamed El-Erian or having a better understanding of trends in the global economy, and as articulate. For those reasons alone, it's hard for investors, large or small, to justify NOT spending a little with with Mr. El-Erain. This book is a global financial compass, not a recommendation on specific companies to invest in or run from. When ...             Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!2180 reviews Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter Business Plus, 2000 Great Book! Our accountant recommended this book, and I am sure glad he did. I read it in just a few days because it was so interesting. This isn't a typical "get rich" book since I found that the author was definitely trying to teach the reader how to rethink the way he or she views money. Some people might think that he is holding back by not going more into detail about how he made his millions, but ...             The 29% Solution: 52 Weekly Networking Success Strategies33 reviews Ivan Misner, Michelle R. Donovan Greenleaf Book Group Press, 2008 If You Can Stick to the Program, You Will Win ! The author has written a great book that will help anyone who needs to add effective networking techniques to whatever they're already doing, in an organized weekly format. The challenge here at least for me, is committing to implementing these weekly gems for a year. Unless you're careful, this could become one of those books you've read, loved, and then put aside meaning to integrate the ...             Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't699 reviews Jim Collins Collins Business, 2001 GREAT together I ordered Good to Great along with Amazon's recommended pairing Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results and they are a great match!

Without this foundation in place first, any actions in business will be haphazard, directionless and misguided. Six Principles Execution Revolution is an excellent business source that offers some ...             The First 90 Days: Critical Success Strategies for New Leaders at All Levels76 reviews Michael Watkins Harvard Business School Press, 2003 Great Primer for Taking On a Management Job The First 90 Days by Michael Watkins is squarely aimed at the task of a manager coming in and dealing with a new team.

Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve, 2001 Best teacher guide EVER This booklet provides vastly more instruction on the nitty-gritty of what teachers need in the classroom. Thank you!             NLP: The New Technology of Achievement59 reviews NLP Comprehensive Harper Paperbacks, 1996 One of the best books on NLP that includes A LOT of useful exercises. This book is great in that it not only explains some of the basics of NLP but it also includes 43 different exercises to do while you are reading the book. Most of these exercises can be done quickly and have been, for me, generally quite effective. These exercises are not easy to find online, so it's nice to have them compiled in one place here. For the price of a paperback it's hardly a ...             Be a Real Estate Millionaire: Secret Strategies To Lifetime Wealth Today32 reviews Dean Graziosi Vanguard Press, 2007 Not just another real estate guru! Dean Graziosi seems to be the only legitimate real estate guru out there today. All the others want to sell you their book, or initial information cheaply, then all they want to do is keep up-selling you more and more junk for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, from seminars, to home study programs to weekend-long "boot-camps!" Dean is different. I bought his "Think A Little Different" course ...             Every Hand Revealed40 reviews Gus Hansen Citadel, 2008 Awsome Read To me this is like a pokerized version of an analyzed chess game. That's what I really liked about it. There are 329 hands presented and commented on and what made the book special is the insight you can derive from the mind of a hyper-agressive player. To me that is extremely beneficial as I am more of a conservative player and frankly there really are no good books out there examining how such ...             The Art Of War20 reviews Sun Tzu Filiquarian, 2007 The Art Of War This is the BEST book on strategy that has ever been written!

Crown Business, 2002 Management Take Notice Execution is a must read for all Executives. So many in management have trouble making decisions for fear of the Old Boy Network politics.

Great book             The Prince (Bantam Classics)283 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli Bantam Classics, 1984 `Do the ends justify the means?' A young colleague of mine recently said `management is easy'. I smiled enigmatically and considered buying him a copy of `The Prince' but I fear it would be wasted. I am now on my third copy of this book which, alas, I can only read in English. The George Bull translation (as reprinted in 1995) is the version I currently refer to. I first read this book when studying economic history at high ...              search for books achievement, classics, classroom, companies, competition, comprehension, discipline, disciplines, economic, engagement, execution, guilt-free, increasing, instruction, interview, investing, investment, irrelevant, millionaire, networking, preparation, research-based, revolution, solution, strategies, successful, technology, time-tested, uncontested, understanding books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
