Little, Brown, Australia, 2017. Trade Paperback. Very Good Condition. Low-level dishonesty is rife everywhere, in the form of exaggeration, selective use of facts, economy with the truth, careful drafting - from Trump and the Brexit debate to companies that tell us 'your call is important to us'. How did we get to a place where bullshit is not just rife but apparently so effective that it's become the communications strategy of our times? This brilliantly insightful book steps inside the panoply of deception employed in all walks of life and assesses how it has come to this. It sets out the surprising logic which explains why bullshit is both pervasive and persistent. Why are company annual reports often nonsense? Why should you not trust estate agents? And above all, why has political campaigning become the art of stretching the truth? Drawing on behavioural science, economics, psychology and of course his knowledge of the media, Evan ends by providing readers with a tool-kit to… Leer más

Gower Publishing, London, 1997. Second Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Business process re-engineering has been hailed as the answer to the challenges faced by business in the late 1990s, yet many re-engineering programmes have fallen short of expectations, or have failed altogether. Several years on, where is it all going now? What benefits does it have to offer today? Michael Loh is a long-time believer in the benefits of re-engineering, and believes that when it fails, its because insufficient attention has been paid to the human element.

Loh sets out a simple four stage framework for introducing a succesful re-engineering programme. Using examples from a range of organizations in many different cultures, he explains what is involved at each stage, and shows how to align the aspirations of the individual with the goals of the organization to… Leer más
