McGraw/Hill/Irwin

Mills (business administration, Harvard Business School) examines the expansion and collapse of the economic bubble surrounding information technology stocks in the United States. He compares the American situation to a similar German bubble that had vastly different outcomes, blaming much of the problem on inability of the "financial value chain" of accountants, investment banks, money management firms, and the media to accurately assess the short-term value of companies. The discussion of Enron is mostly limited to one short chapter that relates the collapse of the company to some of the larger processes that Mills details.

Rebirth of the Corporation

Modern technology and changing economics are forcing corporations away from traditional hierarchial management models. A new model is arising: the cluster organization, which imaginatively combines individual initiative with teamwork and is a workable alternative to the Japanese emphasis on the group (Theory Z). The cluster organization reflects basic changes in decision rules and in the number and role of managers. A ``cluster'' comprises people drawn from different disciplines who work together to complete a mission, and who handle administrative functions themselves--its purpose is to create and exploit competitive advantage. Shows how to develop a cluster in an organization, and contains real-life examples of cluster organization in different industries.

Biography & History

The product of an exhaustive study of American management practices, here is an authoritative account of the skills and personal and professional characteristics that managers need if they are to succeed in today's highly competitive, internationalized environment. The book addresses the needs, interests and aspirations of the "new breed" of American manager, and tells the stories of how individual managers have made big gains-and losses - for their companies, providing solid models by which managers can hone their own management skills.

The new competitors: A report on American managers from D. Quinn Mills of the Harvard Business School

Takes a critical, in-depth look at the values and attitudes of today's executive and explains how management can improve performance by finding, motivating, and keeping this new business elite. This book is the result of interviews with more than 400 managers at over 300 companies, including those on Fortune's 'most admired' list, as well as smaller, highly innovative firms. Written by one of the most eminent members of the Harvard Business School, it skillfully narrates the stories of how individual managers have made big gains--or losses--for their companies and shows that an organization's success in the marketplace is dependent on its workforce, especially its managers. Mills' ideas, case histories, and strategies are food for thought for those who are looking to creatively position themselves and their companies against the competition, and willing to challenge old assumptions.

The New Competitors: A Report on American Managers from D. Quinn Mills of the Harvard Business School (Wiley Management Series on Problem Solving, Decision Making and Strategic Thinking)

The United States will confront a series of fundamental challenges through the middle of the twenty-first century. Using a theory of economic systems to gauge present and future global conflicts, Steven Rosefielde and D. Quinn Mills see the challenges as posed sequentially by terrorism, Russia, China, and the European Union. In the cases of terrorism, Russia, and China, Western leaders appreciate aspects of these perils, but they are crafting unduly soft policies to deal with the challenges. The authors believe that 'globalists' notwithstanding, such views are myopic in an era where nuclear proliferation has invalidated the concept of mutually assured destruction. What America requires is a new security concept that the authors call 'strategic independence' to enable keeping the peace in dangerous times and foster new generations of leaders capable of acting sanely despite a current public culture addicted to wishful thinking.
