High Stakes

This story caught my attention today because this book just arrived on my desk this week:

Boeing Versus Airbus: The Inside Story of the Greatest International Competition in Business by John Newhouse (due out in mid-January, from Knopf)

After months of speculation, it looks like Boeing really is on track to outsell Airbus--for the first time in six years. Newhouse details the decades-long competition and raises questions about both companies' priorities. It looks like a great read.

Harry Stonecipher's, will surely be the most fascinating story to come out of that industry.

I'm just sayin'...

In this modern world the art of Management has become a part and parcel of everyday life, be it at home, in the office or factory and in Government. In all organizations, where a group of human beings assemble for a common purpose irrespective of caste, creed, and religion, management principles come into play through the management of resources, finance and planning, priorities, policies and practice. Management is a systematic way of carrying out activities in any field of human effort.

Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their weaknesses irrelevant, says the Management Guru Peter Drucker. It creates harmony in working together - equilibrium in thoughts and actions, goals and achievements, plans and performance, products and markets. It resolves situations of scarcity, be they in the physical, technical or human fields, through maximum utilization with the minimum available processes to achieve the goal. Lack of management causes disorder, confusion, wastage, delay, destruction and even depression. Managing men, money and materials in the best possible way, according to circumstances and environment, is the most important and essential factor for a successful management.
