(The United States will confront a series of fundamental c...)
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.

(Construction is one of the nation's most complex and impo...)
Construction is one of the nation's most complex and important industries. In terms of employment, it is the largest single industry in the United States; yet there has been no reasonably comprehensive study of the labor market in construction since the 1920s. This work explores the sources of inflationary pressures in construction and the means of reducing them, attempting also to accurately reflect the enormous variety in this industry and in the relationships between contractors and their employees. The book is divided into four sections: Collective Bargaining—which describes the inflation that developed in the late 1960s; Manpower Utilization—including seasonality, manpower planning, and problems of racial imbalance; Formal Training—particularly apprenticeship; and Problems of Public Policy—especially in regard to housing. The study ends early in 1971, at the time of the imposition of wage controls in construction. The author's thorough inquiry into a matter of national significance should lead to a better understanding of the industry and perhaps to a more stable full-employment sector of our economy.

(Modern technology and changing economics are forcing corp...)
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.
