Writing remains to me an unusual practice that transforms my experience of the world whilst under the spell of writing. This book has had a particularly intensive birth, written as it is in the middle of the academic year and with everyday life swirling around it with all the attendant distractions. It has emerged from a number of related ... | | Think Strategically
Thinking is what sets human beings apart from the rest of the animal

Systems Analysis: A Beginner's GuideThis book teaches the key techniques used in SSADM and is an ideal
starting text for first-year undergraduate computing students or those at

simple terms without the common repetition and... | | Hegel's Thought in Europe: Currents, Crosscurrents and Undercurrents
It is not clear what the intellectual history of the last 200 years would have looked like without the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel, but it is clear that it would have looked different. His vast intellectual system was taken up by thinkers from left to right, and from very different philosophical schools. This volume brings together accessible,... | | Effective Knowledge Transfer in Multinational CorporationsThose who have really enabled this research – and will, I hope, also benefit from its outcome at one point or other – are the managers who participated in the study.
