Book Description
Ready to learn everything only the real word can teach you, not what some exam book or test prep book regurgitates? Bigwig Briefs Test Prep features real world intelligence, strategies and experience from leading minds in the business world and business school professors to prepare your mind for questions only industry veterans could prepare you for. Ever wonder how business executives who go back and take the exam (just to see how they would do, or embarking late on an MBA), do remarkably well, even though they have not polished their grammar, verbal, or quantitative reasoning skills in decades? It is because they have learned to think like a business executive-exactly what the questions are meant to see if you can do. This book teaches you how to "think like a business executive" and think in a frame of mind that will help enable you to think through quantitative reasoning and verbal questions and write in a way that helps you increase your score by leaps and bounds. This book also features proven strategies, mindsets, writing styles and problem solving tactics practiced by leading consultants, entrepreneurs, investment bankers, CEOs, and other industry veterans that can be altered, expanded upon and customized to give you a distinct advantage when taking the GMAT exam, and preparing you for your path after the exam.

I've never read a book that sucks more than this one does.......2003-12-08
Pointless formulas, impossible to find actual definitions, book is full of outdated real world references (ex: referring to online purchasing as a new fangled idea). I've never been so confused by a text in my life. I DO NOT recommend this book. It was a required text for my service management class and NOBODY was happy with the text. It almost annoyingly uses Texas as a reference for nearly all analogies. The only thing good about it was how highly it spoke of Amazon.com!
Its implementable, I used it so much it needed recovering.......1999-07-21
This is not the first services management Text I have read or the First Management text. The imposed shake up in the health professions has created a need to take on new learnings in a discipline I was not used too. However as I read I was able to understand and classify services. The wholistic view given in the first chapters allowed me to define my purpose and mission, define the characteristics and benefits of my service and create a service package. I was able to apply this through the service concept and focus on my delivery system creating a strategic plan centered around my clients. Its chapeters on quality allowed me to understand the concept of quality its content and purpose in respect of my business and implement a quality plan. It shed new light on the interactions between employees, organisations and clients. This allowed me to create strategies to improve employee satisfaction. The chapters on The physical facitity allowed me to redesign the physical environment of my service,improving employee and customer satisfaction. Capacity and demand and the handling of waiting times, is so important and the book takes time on these subjects. Conceptualy I was able to design and develope a service reflecting the type and standard of service I was in. This would not have been possible without the background theory, models and formulae supplied by the authors. They package their message in a form I understood. The models and diagrams are particularly good as are the referencing. Although the case studies weren't that relevant as I had my own organisation to test the readings on I still feel they would be valuable to the aspiring student, and it has changed forever my perception of the service encounter both as supplier and participant. The chapters and pieces on IT were important and its role in customisation of services and identifying added value areas and potential new markets are not to be missed.
I would recommend it as a first text and as a core text to cover all the gaps missed or misunderstood in other texts. The depth is such that you get to choose how far you go. If its too much then you stop. A word of warning it took me a year to read not because it was difficult but because clarity of thought can take time. Still my bank manger on seeing my final work stopped short and said.."You can actually do this stuff" If its results you want then this is a good place to start.

Excellent description of important computer architecture.......1999-08-30
Client/server and distributed computing is of critical importance to any organisations effective us of Information Technology. This importance has only been heightened by the explosive growth of the Internet. This book very clearly introduces the main concepts and issues with distributed computing and it then presents an architectural approach for addressing those issues. The architecture presented covers both new and legacy systems and also the range of distribution approaches from request/reply, through messaging to object-oriented. The major conclusion of the book is the importance of federated architectures and the issues and opportunities available through implementing such an approach. As someone who has worked in this area for many years I found the book very useful, informative, and immediately applicable to current problems I am working on. The material is well illustrated with many practical examples and realistic case studies, including a chapter describing a similar approach independently implemented by a large bank. The book also includes an appendix listing major vendors and products that are relevant to distributed computing architectures. For any organisations looking to implement, exploit, or extend their distributed computing systems this book is a very important study of the area and offers a real-life solution for many of the issues. For anyone just wanting to learn about distributed computing I would also recommend this book to them.
