"Powered by Feel offers useful nuggets of information to ponder... some parts of the book intelligently picks over some interesting facets of the human psyche... The book is well-documented... A good read for people who want to find the 'feel' missing in their lives."

"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."

"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."

"The book's scope is international, with emphasis on design activities in Boston, England, Sweden, and Milan. Through a rich variety of cases and cultural prisms, the book extends the traditional design viewpoint and stretches the context of industrial design to question ¡ª and answer ¡ª what design is really all about. It gives readers tools for inspiration, and shows how design can change language and even create human possibilities."

"This is a comprehensive text that addresses competently the general lack of knowledge regarding new service development and the different tools and approaches required ¡­ it is a high value resource for most in the NPD field interested in either new service development or even co-creation with customers applied to either products or services."

"It is well written and structured, with a minimum of mathematics, thus making it appealing to a broad audience. It provides numerous examples and anecdotes throughout ... Overall, the book is easy to read, gives a good overview of the topic treated and encourages the reader to think outside the box."

"The authors have put together a select set of case studies, which will be useful for academic researchers to carry out further work and for businesses that might be interested in some practical aspects of strategies pursued by these top global companies."

"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."
