      Book Description

      This book applies a sustainable development framework to the planning and managing of an intermediate size city in a developing region of a developing nation, and assesses the potential of such a framework to effectively guide the city's development. It identifies issues and recommends approaches to assist local governments to enhance their capacity, improve their management efficiency, and facilitate a course toward sustainable development. The focus is on the many intermediate size cities emerging in Asia and elsewhere as the nucleus of new urbanization and more efficient urbanization management, instead of on the few primate mega-cities. The entire book studies one city and region from multiple perspectives, allowing multiple comparisons. This reflects the unique composition of the book's contributors, representing fifteen disciplines, four universities, and three countries. The book is intended for those interested in applications of sustainability to the management of urban growth and development at the local level, including development professionals, elected officials, academic researchers and teachers, and university students.

        Book Description

        This publication shows how land tenure laws, decentralization policies, institutional capacity building, common property management, conflict resolution and participatory development can be made more responsive to the needs of those practicing transhumance today, or pastoralists, for ecologically and economically sustainable development in arid Africa. The case studies cover social, economic, political and environmental issues. Scientists, students, development experts, government officials and development organizations will find the research highly relevant.

        5 out of 5 stars It's not human to be altruistic.......2000-02-13

        This collection of essays explores how individuals view commonly-owned resources. The clear conclusion is that people are biologically selfish: each person sees his/her own interests as more important than the group's interests. Altruism doesn't work as a policy. This flies in the face of common wisdom. I wish this book could be made standard reading for all high-school students. It explains the population's apparently self-defeating habit of destroying their own habitat.

          Book Description

          Water Resources and Coastal Management presents a comprehensive and unique collection of articles which provide an interdisciplinary perspective on the science and management of global coastal resources.

          This important volume comprises five main sections. Part I reviews basic scientific concepts and underpinning knowledge of the processes at work in this dynamic environment. Part II considers how the natural variability of coastal zone environments has been unsustainably exacerbated by development and exploitation of such resources. Parts III and IV focus upon the various aspects of the management response options that could or have been deployed both in developed and developing countries. Finally, Part V examines the management issues that surround regional seas and their, often international, resource regions.

          "…Small, simple, powerful: an innovative book about innovation."
          --Don Norman, Nielsen Norman Group, Northwestern University; author of Emotional Design and Design of Everyday Things

          "The naked truth about innovation is ugly, funny, and eye-opening, but it sure isn't what most of us have come to believe. With this book, Berkun sets us free to try to change the world unencumbered with misconceptions about how innovation happens."
          --Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start

          "This book cuts through the hype, analyzes what is essential, and more importantly, what is not. You will leave with a thorough understanding of what really drives innovation."
          -- Werner Vogels, CTO, Amazon.com

          		Scott Berkun discusses


          Book Description

          How do you know whether a hot technology will succeed or fail? Or where the next big idea will come from? The best answers come not from the popular myths we tell about innovation, but instead from time-tested truths that explain how we've made it this far. This book shows the way.

          In The Myths of Innovation, bestselling author Scott Berkun takes a careful look at innovation history, including the software and Internet Age, to reveal how ideas truly become successful innovations-truths that people can apply to today's challenges. Using dozens of examples from the history of technology, business, and the arts, you'll learn how to convert the knowledge you have into ideas that can change the world.

          "For centuries before Google, MIT, and IDEO, modern hotbeds of innovation, we struggled to explain any kind of creation, from the universe itself to the multitudes of ideas around us. While we can make atomic bombs, and dry-clean silk ties, we still don't have satisfying answers for simple questions like: Where do songs come from? Are there an infinite variety of possible kinds of cheese? How did Shakespeare and Stephen King invent so much, while we're satisfied watching sitcom reruns? Our popular answers have been unconvincing, enabling misleading, fantasy-laden myths to grow strong." -- Scott Berkun, from the text.

          "Insightful, inspiring, evocative, and just plain fun to read it's totally great."

          -- John Seely Brown, former Chief Scientist of Xerox, and Director, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC); current Chief of Confusion

          "Small, simple, powerful: an innovative book about innovation."

          -- Don Norman, Nielsen Norman Group, Northwestern University; author of Emotional Design and Design of Everyday Things

          "The naked truth about innovation is ugly, funny, and eye-opening, but it sure isn't what most of us have come to believe. With this book, Berkun sets us free to try to change the world unencumbered with misconceptions about how innovation happens."

          -- Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start

          "Brimming with insights and historical examples, Berkun's book not only debunks widely held myths about innovation but also points the ways toward making your new ideas stick. Even in today's ultra-busy commercial world, reading this book will be time well spent."

          -- Tom Kelley, GM, IDEO; author of The Ten Faces of Innovation

          "This book cuts through the hype, analyzes what is essential, and more importantly, what is not. You will leave with a thorough understanding of what really drives innovation."

          -- Werner Vogels, CTO, Amazon.com

          "I loved this book. It's an easy-to-read playbook for anyone wanting to lead and manage positive change in their business."

          -- Frank McDermott, Marketing Manager, EMI Music

          Scott Berkun knows innovation. A member of the Internet Explorer team at Microsoft from 1994-1999, he is a full-time author at www.scottberkun.com and wrote the 2005 bestseller, The Art of Project Management (O'Reilly). He also teaches creative thinking at the University of Washington.

          4 out of 5 stars Its short but long on content. read it every year!.......2007-09-11

          This is a really good read! It includes thoughts on how individuals spread innovation and how society determines the impact. Its rally is a myth busting book. He reinforces the "lucky or smart" comments from "Fooled by Randomness". Lots of great quotes . Steve Jobs, " real artists ship." Dewey, " A problem, properly defined is partly solved". A very good discussion on what Osborn really meant in "Applied Imagination" when inventing brainstorming. He felt that an equal amount of time needed to be spent on facts, ideas and solutions, people were to quick to jump to a solution. Another takeaway, No one knows what's possible". Some parallels in Godin's rant on competence vs brilliance. i.e. Competent managers are scared to try anything new, since that threatens their competence. Great line on Frederick Taylor, he could have saved himself hours and hours of studies if he had asked the workers where the process was inefficient.

          3 out of 5 stars A little jumbled up........2007-09-10

          This book is a quick read, and while I found it a little disorganized, I did not feel that I had wasted by time/money.

          3 out of 5 stars Interesting read - lacked more content though.......2007-08-14

          I'm a huge fan of The Art of Project Management (Theory in Practice (O'Reilly)) by Berkun and followed the development of The Myths of Innovation on his blog. Unfortunately, I still got the purpose of this book wrong. I was expecting more of a tutorial on how one should innovate and come up with new ideas. The book instead tries to debunk certain myths of innovation, and certainly does a good job at that.

          Berkun has some interesting things to say, and I enjoyed reading the book. The cons were still pretty obvious, Berkun tries to keep the book short but I would like to have seen more examples of how these myths are upheld. The examples used were too often about the same companies or individuals, e.g. Apple, Steve Jobs and Microsoft.

          All in all, I recommend reading the book, but would have liked to see a bit more content.

          5 out of 5 stars A fun and interesting read.......2007-08-08

          I enjoyed reading this book. It gives a lot of insight into how some of the worlds best minds came up with their ideas for innovative products. The tone is light yet informative. This book definitely gave me something to think about in terms of how ideas come about and different ways to think about problems.

          5 out of 5 stars How do you know whether a hot new technology will succeed or fail?.......2007-07-07

          How do you know whether a hot new technology will succeed or fail? How does a new technology or commodity enter the mainstream? These and other questions essential to producing thoughtful marketing decisions and approaches are considered in The Myths of Innovation, a history of innovations and how they became successful. Examples come from the history of technology, business and the arts and tell how knowledge converts to commodities. Business managers will find this an important key to understanding and business libraries will find it a popular contemporary approach and pick.

            Book Description

            Against a backdrop of corporate scandal, business leaders can no longer rely on the old-fashioned style of one-sided "community relations" programs to promote a good image. Nor can they expect preferential treatment just because they meet their tax obligations. Pressure from all sides is forcing corporate leaders to increase their investments in the communities they serve and redefining their relationships with key stakeholder groups, including employees, suppliers, governing boards, shareholders, and the press. Safeguarding the environment, supporting human rights, eliminating child labor, entering into partnerships with nonprofit organizations, solving community problems, opening up financial reports to scrutiny, consulting with community residents, and contributing to local charities are now essential elements of corporate character. Managing a Company in an Activist World takes the discussion of corporate citizenship to a new practical level, offering business leaders answers to such tough questions as: What do our stakeholders value most? How can we respond to a growing number of formal compliances and informal demands? How do we most effectively communicate our role as a good corporate citizen? Illustrating the depth and breadth of the issues through a variety of in-depth examples--from Jesse Jackson's threatened boycott of Anheuser-Busch to rural Virginians' uprising against Disney's proposed theme park to energy giant BC Hydro's successful response to environmentalists' concerns--Burke demonstrates how community involvement can influence corporate strategy to everyone's net benefit. He goes on to outline specific strategies that corporate leaders can employ to shake off inertia, public skepticism, and short-term focus to make corporate citizenship a priority without sacrificing growth and profits.

              Book Description

              The Behavior-Based Safety Process Since the behavior-based approach to accident prevention was launched in 1980 by the author and his associates, safety performance is increasingly prominent on the agendas of many companies. Several powerful factors contribute to this trend. The widespread reorganization of personnel into work-groups that are leaner and more self-directed, the increasing importance of international competition, the growing awareness of critical environmental issuesthese and related factors highlight the value of any mechanism that promotes continuous improvement in safety performance. Detailing a step-by-step approach to just such a mechanism for continuous improvement, The Behavior-Based Safety Process is a path-breaking guide that represents an important resource for anyone concerned with performance related issues in the workplace. As the title indicates, the focus is on process versus programs. The reason is simple: off-the-shelf safety imposed from the top down does not meet the safety needs of most organizations. This fact has been abundantly demonstrated in facility after facility throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In genuinely meeting the need for continuous improvement in safety performance, the behavior-based approach presents many parallels with the quality improvement process. Both of these approaches use scientific methods to identify, measure, and provide feedback on upstream factors of excellence. In the case of the behavior-based approach to safety, these upstream factors are critical behaviors that are the leading indicators of safety performance in the organization, targeting areas of concern in advance of even first-aid incidents. For an in-depth treatment of how to integrate behavioral and statistical methodologies, see the authors companion volume from Van Nostrand Reinhold: Employee-Driven Systems for Safe Behavior. In addition to presenting these parallels with quality. The Behavior-Based Safety Process also provides powerful techniques aimed at implementation issues: organizational development, trainer-training, and employee involvement. The author and his associates developed these techniques over a decade of consultation with a variety of industries, working closely in that time with such safety leaders as Monsanto, Shell Chemical Company, ARCO Chemical, ALCOA, Rohm and Haas, Scott Paper Company, Georgia Gulf Corporation, The Pillsbury Company, and Chevron U.S.A.

Strengths: broad coverage of issues invoved in BBS; examples of it practice; some coverage of scientific principles behind the techniques. Weaknesses: It could be organized to make it more user-friendly; written at a rather advanced level; not a very good "how-to" book (T. McSween's "The Values-Based Safety Process" book is better at "how to" - I also use that one.)
