From Strategy to Business Models and to Tactics

The notion of business model has been used by strategy scholars to refer to “the logic of the firm, the way it operates and how it creates value for its stakeholders.” On the surface, this notion appears to be similar to that of strategy. We present a conceptual framework to separate and relate business model and strategy. Business model, we argue, is a reflection of the firm’s realized s…

Negotiating for Success: Essential Strategies and Skills

We all enter into contracts on a daily basis without engaging in negotiation. We usually do not negotiate when we buy food, drink, apps, books, clothing, electronics, pet supplies, office products, household goods, toys and sports equipment. What would happen if we decided to negotiate when purchasing these items? This is an assignment I give to my students at the University of Michigan. I ask…

REGIONAL ADVANTAGE: CUL'ITIRE AND COMPETITION IN SILICON VALLEY AND ROUTE 128

Similar battles of change have been fought before as new technology insinuated itself into peoples' lives, from basic labor-saving devices such as the washing machine, to innovations with radical cultural consequences like the automGbfle.

The Challenge of Congressional Representation

There are numerous reasons why political scientists might be interested in the individual, as well as the collective, activities of our elected poli- ticians. Whatever the reasons might be—theoretical or practical—our interest in their collective behavior patterns has dominated contempo- rary political science research. In our work on Congress, studies involv- ing career patterns, roll call…

Urbanisation in South Asia

South Asia is on the move. Having remained dormant for about three centuries, it has picked up speed, and is on the way to recovery. If the current development trajectory is any indicator, it is destined to become one of the most dynamic regions of the world in not too distant a future. Much, however, depends on how fast it forgets its divisive past, and transcends the narrow national interes…

Writing History in International Criminal Trials

A sense of shared history is one of the main ways a people come to constitute themselves as a group or nation and to forge a collective identity and a sense of shared destiny. In times of peace and prosperity, this common past may enhance a sense of mutual purpose, instill a pride in public institutions, and fortify a civic patriotism. However, during economic and political crises, some politic…

SHIGLEY’S MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN

Mechanical design is a complex process, requiring many skills. Extensive relation- ships need to be subdivided into a series of simple tasks. The complexity of the process requires a sequence in which ideas are introduced and iterated. We first address the nature of design in general, and then mechanical engineering design in particular. Design is an iterative process with many interactive ph…

I wrote this book because I had to motivate myself for parts of my career. I worked for a few leaders whom I would follow almost anywhere. I wish there had been more who really tapped my desires, energy, and talent. I wrote this book because I have seen managers struggling to cause the living dead just to twitch. I wrote this book because I have studied what managers can do and have done to de…

Kant and Colonialism

This is the first volume dedicated to a systematic exploration of Kant’s position on colonialism. There are no similar volumes currently avail- able. For good reason, one may think: after all, the issue of colonialism is marginal to Kant’s philosophical thinking as well as to eighteenth-century Prussian politics. Kant’s critics disagree. Though few Kant scholars have so far engaged syst…
