Super Guide for Anyone Doing Business Globally.......2003-11-03
Hicks, a consultant to companies doing business globally, knows his field. Reading this book is like sitting down for a comfortable living room conversation with an expert. You'll gain a deep appreciation for how global business is different, what to watch for, and what can get in your way. The text is well-illustrated with stories, examples, and insights that will enable readers to substantially increase their chances of success on the international playing field.
You'll learn about cross-cultural behaviors that will undoubtedly open your eyes. The knowledge about cross-cultural business skills, negotiation, sales, and customer service will put you strategically ahead of the competition. Hick addresses how to make global alliances work and how to deal with gender issues. The downside is covered, too, so you'll know about vital issues about bribery, corruption, and legal issues. The question of dangerous destinations is particularly valuable in today's volatile world.
This is the kind of book that will hold your attention as you begin. You'll want to keep reading, which can interrupt your productivity. Don't try to read Global Deals at work. This one is best absorbed in the curl-up-in-the-comfy-chair kind of reading. The stories will draw you in; you'll be surprised how much you're learning.
A bibliography and index add to the book's value, enabling you to use the book efficiently for reference later. Suggestion: after you've read this book, invite your colleagues to read it, too, strengthening your company's capacity to do business in the most effective way on the global stage.

A must for global managers.......2003-12-05
This is an interesting, informative read written in anecdotal style, which suits the busy business traveler. You can read a chapter and put in down and go back to it a day later and read that chapter again or read another chapter and always the result is a learning process.
I consider myself an expert on the subject and can assert that in this book he has captured all the essential ingredients of what makes for a successful deal on a global basis. From the most simple to the most complex of ideological, cultural and business elements, he shows how the other side tends to approach a deal and what our thinking process should be.
Now more than ever, technology allows global deals to be accomplished behind a desk. Even more reason to understand the cultural, psychological, business, language and other differences that make global deal exciting and rewarding.
For those that don't want to learn the hard way, this book is the answer.

ASIN: 074324690X Release Date: 2002-11-05 |
Book Description
You've been screwed.You've been bludgeoned, skewered, crushed, mutilated by the stock market. Every day you read about another corporate scandal: loans to CEOs that didn't have to be repaid, accounting "irregularities," profits that never existed. You think the stock market must have been rigged. And you're right.
You were betrayed by the stock promotion machine -- the mutual fund managers, the brokers, analysts, strategists, and stock gurus who brainwashed you into buying and holding and believing that stocks, like parents, always come through and bail you out in the end.
So now what do you do? Where do you put your money? You can't just leave it in the bank or stuff it under the mattress.
For fourteen years Jim Cramer ran a hedge fund that compounded money at a rate of 24 percent annually after fees, and then he got out at the end of 2000. He knows that there are ways to make money, smart ways that don't require you to own stocks blindly. There are other investments that won't send you to the poorhouse.
This book will tell you what went wrong, who the bad guys were, and what you have to do to restore your financial health. You can't just close your eyes. Ignoring Wall Street isn't the answer. Cash alone isn't the answer. This book has the answers.

Manufacturer: Hart Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1841135186 |
Book Description
Restorative Justice has emerged around the world as a potent challenge to traditional models of criminal justice, and restorative programmes, policies and legislative reforms are being implemented in many western nations. However, the underlying aims, values and limits of this new paradigm remain somewhat uncertain and those advocating Restorative Justice have rarely engaged in systematic debate with those defending more traditional conceptions of criminal justice. This volume, containing contributions from scholars of international renown, provides an analytic exploration of Restorative Justice and its potential advantages and disadvantages.

The Practice of Punishment: Towards a Theory of Restorative Justice (Readings in Applied Ethics)
Wesley Cragg Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Library Binding ASIN: 041504149X |
Book Description
In the latter half of the twentieth century, there has been a sharp decline in confidence in sentencing principles, due to a questioning of the efficacy of punishment. It has been very difficult to develop consistent, fair, and humane criteria for evaluating legislative, judicial and correctional advancements. b /b b i The Practice of Punishment /i /b offers a comprehensive study of punishment that identifies the principles of sentencing and corrections on which modern correctional systems should be built. br br The theory of punishment that emerges is built on the view that the central function of the law is to reduce the need to use force in the resolutions of disputes. In this text, Wesley Cragg argues that the proper role of sentencing and sentence administration, as well as policing and adjudication, is to sustain public confidence in the capacity of the law to fulfill that function. Cragg believes that sentencing and corrections should be guided by principles of restorative justice, and he contends that inflicting punishment is in itself not a legitimate objective of criminal law. br br b /b b i The Practice /i /b b /b b i of Punishment /i /b is a philosophical account of punishment, sentencing, and correction which draws strongly on first-hand experience of penal practices, diverse recent studies, government reports, position papers, crime surveys, and victim concerns. It will be of special interest to applied ethicists, those concerned with the theory and practice of punishment and policing, and criminal justice scholars and lawyers.

A Theory of the Trial.
Robert Burns Manufacturer: Princeton University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0691007276 |
Book Description
Anyone who has sat on a jury or followed a high-profile trial on television usually comes to the realization that a trial, particularly a criminal trial, is really a performance. Verdicts seem determined as much by which lawyer can best connect with the hearts and minds of the jurors as by what the evidence might suggest. In this celebration of the American trial as a great cultural achievement, Robert Burns, a trial lawyer and a trained philosopher, explores how these legal proceedings bring about justice. The trial, he reminds us, is not confined to the impartial application of legal rules to factual findings. Burns depicts the trial as an institution employing its own language and styles of performance that elevate the understanding of decision-makers, bringing them in contact with moral sources beyond the limits of law.Burns explores the rich narrative structure of the trial, beginning with the lawyers' opening statements, which establish opposing moral frameworks in which to interpret the evidence. In the succession of witnesses, stories compete and are held in tension. At some point during the performance, a sense of the right thing to do arises among the jurors. How this happens is at the core of Burns's investigation, which draws on careful descriptions of what trial lawyers do, the rules governing their actions, interpretations of actual trial material, social science findings, and a broad philosophical and political appreciation of the trial as a unique vehicle of American self-government.

Avoid This Book.......2004-05-26
The author writes a book about trials--and yet discusses almost no trials at all. Apparently Burns is a failed philosophy professor, because he has infintely more interest in his own mind than in what goes on in the courtroom. It is books like these that astound me--how can anyone think this is good enough to publish?
The prose is clunky, and Burns finds endless ways to make trials utterly dull. His ideas reduce to no more than the generalities one learns in Trial Practice classes--tell a strong story; every element of your case should reflect the theme; juries are unpredictable.
This book is awful. But then, Burns is probably a poseur--no trial lawyer can be as dull as Burns is and still survive. If one really wants to study the essence of trials, try reading Vincent Bugliosi.
