Book: Project Management
Projects have been around since ancient times. Noah building the ark, Leonardo da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa, Edward Gibbon writing The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Jonas Salk developing the polio vaccine — all projects. And, as you know, these have been masterful successes. (Well, the products were a spectacular success, even if schedules and resource budgets were drastically overrun!)

Change is occurring at an accelerating rate; today is not like yesterday, and tomorrow will be different from today. Continuing today’s strategy is risky; so is turning to a new strategy. Therefore, tomorrow’s successful companies will have to heed three certainties:
➤ Global forces will continue to affect everyone’s business and personal life.
➤ Technology will continue to advance and amaze us.
➤ There will be a continuing push toward deregulation of the economic sector.

Book: Organizational Behavior
People at work in organizations today are part of a new era. The institutions of society and the people who make them work are challenged in many and very special ways. Society at large increasingly expects high performance and high quality of life to go hand-in-hand, considers ethics and social responsibility core values, respects the vast potential of demographic and cultural diversity among people, and accepts the imprint of a globalization on everyday living and organizational competitiveness. In this new era of work and organizations, the body of knowledge we call “organizational behavior” offers many insights of great value. WHAT IS ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR?
Formally defined, organizational behavior—OB for short—is the study of individuals and groups in organizations. Learning about OB will help you develop a better work-related understanding about yourself and other people. It can also expand your potential for career success in the dynamic, shifting, complex, and challenging new workplaces of today…and tomorrow.

Strategic Information System..
What is the field of study called “Strategic Information Systems” about? Is it about information systems that are strategic? Is it about information systems that support strategy? Is it about how strategy and information systems should be aligned? The answer to these three questions is “yes”. This chapter accepts the above myriad of interpretations of strategic information systems and presents a review of the many varied concepts and issues. A perspective on the interpretation of these terms is that information technology may be used to represent the components of infrastructure, such as hardware and telecommunications. Then, the term information system (which would encompass these infrastructure components) also includes the processes, both manual and automated, which support business operations and eventually, in relation to the organization’s strategic direction, contributes to competitive advantage. However, in this chapter information systems and information technology will be used interchangeably, mainly because their use throughout the literature reviewed here is not entirely consistent. That is, in this discussion they will mean the same thing. In general, information systems (and in this chapter information technology) exist to gather data and transform that data into information to support decision making within an organization. These decisions may be made at various levels within the organization. However, the eventual consequence of management decisions will relate to the overall business strategy. Thus, the information systems must provide support for the strategic direction of the organization. So, whether the information system is strategic or that it supports strategic initiatives it is an important consequence that information systems be aligned with the adopted strategy of the organization.Book: Strategic Information System (Download)

Marketing Management
Marketing, as a discipline, has traveled a long distance in the last four decades. It is a craft of linking the producers of goods and services with the existing and potential customers. The changes in the consumer behavior, market place, channels of distribution, the merchandizing, display and almost anything have been tremendous in the past few decades. The speed of change is stupendous. Major shopping malls, the range of choices, the buying pattern from personal to internet buying, credit cards etc has taken long strides towards difference and has totally changed business outlook. The demand for more sophisticated products has emerged almost in every field. Products have today very close similarities. The research has created nearly the same kind of services and customer aids. Marketers are today faced with tough decisions. One wrong decision or delayed decision can completely put business back and give competitors edge over the market place, which in itself is a tough situation to face.
