Fads, Fallacies and Foolishness in Medical Care Management and Policy
by T R Marmor
"This latest collection of essays is a buoyant and welcome antidote to the historically amnesiac, often po-faced and 'politically correct' faddist tendency in health policy... One of Marmor's most invaluable themes in the book concerns how 'market solutions' in healthcare depend upon perfect' conditions — not just the technical prerequisites stipulated by neo-classical economists for competition in markets, but the political conditions which allow markets to function as intended."

New Business in India
The 21st Century Opportunity
by Paul Davies
"This second book by Paul Davies on the subject of doing business in India is based on a deep understanding of the realities of India and at the same time written by someone who is clearly an Indophile. The book is informative for those who are new to India or are encountering it in the early stages of doing business there. It helps with providing a reality check of the challenges. In this book India is seen as a market in itself rather than simply as a low cost centre and this shift in emphasis is important to those who want to do business in and with India."

Core Values and Organizational Change 
Theory and Practice
by Alma Whiteley & Jervis Whiteley
"Behind the academic title I found a courageous, stimulating, and exceptionally timely book. At a time when practitioners of management are bombarded with simplistic, 'sound-bite' metaphors and dry, descriptive analysis, this book delves into such fundamental questions as ¡®How did things turn out to be the way they are in the modern organization?' and 'how can managers infuse meaning into an organization to overcome alienation?'
Crucially, the authors deliver on both counts — by providing the much-needed context that is lacking in much of today's management literature; and by showing admirable breadth in visiting other disciplines for cutting-edge yet highly relevant ideas. The result is a must-read for HR, strategy and change management professionals who seek to lay the foundation for successful and sustainable change in their organizations. In addition, for those who are exploring or being thrust into cross-cultural management and communications, the book offers a compact yet deeply inspired tool for taking stock of the paradigms and assumptions that inform our own, Western thinking on managing organizations."
