Twenty-five years ago, Herb Kelleher reinvented air travel when he founded Southwest Airlines, where the planes are painted like killer whales, a typical company maxim is "Hire people with a sense of humor," and in-flight meals are never served--just sixty million bags of peanuts a year. By sidestepping "reengineering," "total quality management," and other management philosophies and employing its own brand of business success, Kelleher's airline has turned a profit for twenty-four consecutive years and seen its stock soar 300 percent since 1990.Today, Southwest is the safest airline in the world and ranks number one in the industry for service, on-time performance, and lowest employee turnover rate; and Fortune magazine has twice ranked Southwest one of the ten best companies to work for in America. How do they do it?With unlimited access to the people and inside documents of Southwest Airlines, authors Kevin and Jackie Freiberg share the secrets behind the greatest success story in commercial aviation. Read it and discover how to transfer the Southwest inspiration to your own business and personal life.

The Corporation

The Corporation

Amazon.com


An epic in length and breadth, this documentary aims at nothing less than a full-scale portrait of the most dominant institution on the planet Earth in our lifetime--a phenomenon all the more remarkable, if not downright frightening, when you consider that the corporation as we know it has been around for only about 150 years. It used to be that corporations were, by definition, short-lived and finite in agenda. If a town needed a bridge built, a corporation was set up to finance and complete the project when the bridge was an accomplished fact, the corporation ceased to be. Then came the 19th-century robber barons, and the courts were prevailed upon to define corporations not as get-the-job-done mechanisms but as persons under the 14th Amendment with full civil rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (i.e., power and profit)--ad infinitum.

The Corporation defines this endlessly mutating life-form in exhaustive detail, measuring the many ways it has not only come to dominate but to deform our reality. The movie performs a running psychoanalysis of this entity with the characteristics of a prototypical psychopath: a callous unconcern for the feelings and safety of others, an incapacity to experience guilt, an ingrained habit of lying for profit, etc. We are swept away on a demented odyssey through an altered cosmos, in which artificial chemicals are created for profit and incidentally contribute to a cancer epidemic in which the folks who brought us Agent Orange devise a milk-increasing drug for a world in which there is already a glut of milk in which an American computer company leased its systems to the Nazis--and serviced them on a monthly basis--so that the Holocaust could go forward as an orderly process.

The movie goes on too long, circles too many points obsessively and redundantly, and risks preaching-to-the-choir reductiveness by calling on the usual talking-head suspects--Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Moore. And except for an endlessly receding tracking shot in an infinite patents archive, theres scarcely an image worth recalling. Still, it maps the new reality. This is our world--welcome to it. --Richard T. Jameson

Customer ReviewsPoorly constructed anti-business diatribe
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :5
This film claims to be a documentary about the corporation and corporations impact. Theres a lot that one can say about the corporation, both good and bad. The filmmakers largely squander the chance, instead embarking on a shrill anti-business rant. Its not even well done - most of the criticisms are poorly justified, and they often have to resort to emotional imagery to overcome a lack of substance.

For example, they point out that the 14th Amendment (guaranteeing equal protection under the law) was passed to protect freed slaves. Corporations then used lawsuits citing the amendment to protect themselves. Did that hurt freed slaves somehow? The film doesnt even try to discuss that, but shows several provocative images of African-Americans to try to imply a linkage.

As I said, the movie is anti-business, not just anti-corporation. The film does explain briefly the legal basis of corporations and how it differs from other company forms (such as a partnership). But then the film largely turns to emotional condemnations of businesses and business practices in general.

Theres a discussion of "externalities," where costs get shifted onto other people. An example is businesses using roads built by others. This is neither new nor unique to corporations - thousands of years back ago in the Roman Empire, craftsmen and traders were using government-built roads. Nor do the filmmakers explain why its bad, instead just leaving the impression that businesses are taking advantage of everyone else.

Similarly, the film criticizes corporations for running "sweatshops" with low pay and poor working conditions. Again, thats nothing new to corporations: many farms and garment-makers have done the same for centuries, without the benefit of a corporate structure. Theres nothing in the film to demonstrate that corporations have made the situation worse than other types of business.

Just for emotional appeal, they show a Latin American worker who says shes the only one in her household of seven with a job. It turns out, its hard for her to support seven people on her factory pay. Sure, its hard to support a large household on one income. Does that make the pay unfair? The film doesnt bother with any statistics, it just tries to imply that shes underpaid, and thus her employer is bad.

The authors simply didnt do their homework. They just strung together a series of vignettes and soundbites designed to make us angry, as long as we dont think about them too much. There are certainly well-justified criticisms they could have made, and instead they went for the cheap shots.

In short, dont expect a documentary on the order of "Who Killed the Electric Car?" that gives a lot of information. This is really a movie for people who are simply mad at American business and want to spend a couple of hours reinforcing their anger.
Really, Really Dumb
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :0
I was hoping I could show this film to my business ethics class, in order to spark some interesting discussion. I was very disappointed. It is certainly one of the worst pieces of ratiocination I have ever examined -- I would not want to waste my students time with it. Its not worth discussing. It makes heavy use of a version of the economic notion of "externalities" which is more or less incoherent.

Todays dominant institution
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
The Corporation is todays dominant institution. This awkward entity is considered a "person" by law, but has all the characteristics of a psychopath when examined closely : it shows no emotions nor feelings, has no conscience, is incapable of experiencing guilt, and its sole purpose it is to make profits, no matter how.

Therefore corporations are very fond of fascist regimes, such as Nazi Germany, where IBM offered support with their machines counting the deaths in the concentration camps. Corporations themselves sometimes behave as mass murderers, like the asbestos companies. They sometimes hire murderers, like Chiquita did in Colombia, to kill syndical leaders. Corporations deplete our natural resources, like Big Oil does. Corporations pollute our environment and our food with artificial chemicals, causing a cancer epidemic, affecting nowadays 44 % of the men and 38 % of the women, following Dr. Samuel Epstein.

Corporations are so powerful that they are never prosecuted. If necessary, they change the legislation to suit their interests. They even succeeded patenting things that were impossible to patent - life itself, as Jeremy Rifkin explains.

Corporations got so powerful they determine how governments should behave, even if they go broke. Then the government must help them, socializing the losses to the people in general.

Corporations always want to make more and more money. They see "business opportunities" in every imaginable service to the people. Noam Chomsky gives his point of view on the privatizations we suffered in the last decades : "Privatization does not mean you take a public institution and give it to some nice person it means you take a public institution and give it to an unaccountable tyranny". In this movie the example is showed of the privatization of Cochabamba public water in Bolivia, but you can also consider what Enron did in California, what the "health companies" did with health care in the US (look at Sicko by Michael Moore), what the pension funds are doing with our expected retirement money, etc.

Michael Moore sometimes wonders why companies finance his films, but then he considers that when he succeeds making money for the big media companies, theyre fine with whatever he says. Corporations think people are too numb to do something. Moore hopes however that people will stand up from the couch, and do something. Will you ?

Amazing but watch past the first 15 minutes.

    Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :3
    Fred Kofman does a good job explaining his concepts, however his accent can be a little disconcerting at first. If you are a Landmark Education graduate, the material on these CDs is very nearly a rip-off of the same concepts (i.e., having Integrity, Honoring your Word, etc...). For non-Landmark graduates, these CDs cover many soft-skills concepts that can be effective in your personal life, but he applies them (a little obscurely) to a work environment. If you are trying to get your own business off the ground, "Conscious Business" does not offer strategies for doing so, but rather best practices to remain successful. In other words, you wont find tips regarding how to file your returns, collect data effectively, or document discipline. You will instead find tips about the importance of keeping your word, how to stop stressing about work, and things of that nature. The program was not bad--in retrospect, I would have found it no more than $15 worth of value. Take that for what you will.

    The hard part about starting or running a business is not the long hours, the tight deadlines, or the stresses of being overworked in the face of an insecure future. The real challenges that make or break us surround dealing with our own integrity, our priorities, and conflicts with others.

    This book covers those challenges and offers many tools and examples of how we can manage them and come out ahead having built a stronger foundation and a stronger company.

    I personally cant stand the idealistic tones of the book but I will admit, unlike most of these books that I have read, this one is much more grounded inthe harsh challenges of reality such as the fact that, while in business and in dealing with others failure is not an option but success is not always achieved.

    If you read this book you will find yourself referencing it as you deal with life on any level because the authors clear mind and direct language gives you the language to describe and communicate the situation and how best to manage it.
    A Unique Value Creation Model
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :7
    Business is an essential part of our lives. Doing business consciously, Fred Kofman, a co-founder of the consulting firm Axialent, is an essential part of living consciously. The author presents a business model where managers are more conscious of the inner and outer lives of employees.

    Anyone who works intuitively understands there are two types of managers. As a professor of accounting, Kofman begin his classes by having students listen to one of Beethovens pieces over and over. Gradually the students would realize that the music was not in the CD but in the listening. In music as in business, Informations only value is in how it is interpreted.

    Most recognize the need for smart employees with the latest in technical competency. Kofman argues it is more important, and less recognized, that organizations recruit and retain employees with high-level consciousness.

    He draws a contrast between unconscious attitudes and their conscious counterparts. They are:

    Unconscious Attitudes.....................Conscious Attitudes
    Unconditional Blame.......................Unconditional Responsibility
    Essential Selfishness........................Essential Integrity
    Ontological Arrogance.....................Ontological Humility
    Unconscious Behaviors....................Conscious Behaviors
    Manipulative Communication..........Authentic Communication
    Narcissistic Negotiation....................Constructive Negotiation
    Negligent Coordination.....................Impeccable Coordination
    Unconscious Reactions.....................Conscious Reactions
    Emotional Incompetence...................Emotional Mastery.

    These qualities are simple to understand yet, they are difficult to implement. They represent common sense yet, they are not found widely in common practice. They seem natural, yet they challenge deep-seated assumptions individuals hold about themselves, others and their world.

    Kofman opens the readers conscious to a unique resource for maximizing profit and potential in the workplace and beyond. Written concisely and coherently he communicates an uncommon wisdom about the truth of our emotions and healthy interpersonal practices in business and life.

    Here is THE book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett. The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to him his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom. The result is the personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as The Oracle of Omaha.Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time he became the worlds richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term simple.When Alice Schroeder met Warren Buffett she was an insurance industry analyst and a gifted writer known for her keen perception and business acumen. Her writings on finance impressed him, and as she came to know him she realized that while much had been written on the subject of his investing style, no one had moved beyond that to explore his larger philosophy, which is bound up in a complex personality and the details of his life. Out of this came his decision to cooperate with her on the book about himself that he would never write.Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writers questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associatesopening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffetts legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched peoples lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.From the Hardcover edition.

    A Must Read Together With Built To Last : This book by Jim Collins results of a study of several companies which made a sustained quantitative and qualitative jump over a period of at least 15 years. The framework it describes covers six core common principles of these companies: Level 5 Leadership; First Who... Then What; Confront The Brutal Facts; The Hedgehog Concept; A Culture of Discipline; and Technology Accelerators. It's interesting to notice how some the referred companies have developed since the time the book was written, such as : Gillete (bought by Procter & Gamble); Fannie Mae (hit by the subprime) and Circuit City (filed for bankruptcy). Nevertheless, while I don't believe that companies can be forever great, I do believe that the principles outline in this book are timeless. Highly recommended - together with Built to Last from the same author.

    In The Big Rich, bestselling author and Vanity Fair special correspondent Bryan Burrough chronicles the rise and fall of one of the great economic and political powerhouses of the twentieth century—Texas oil. By weaving together the epic sagas of the industryÂ's four greatest fortunes, Burrough has produced an enthralling tale of money, family, and power in the American century. Known in their day as the Big Four, Roy Cullen, H. L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson were all from modest backgrounds, and all became patriarchs of the wealthiest oil families in Texas. As a class they came to be known as the Big Rich, and together they created a new legend in America—the swaggering Texas oilman who owns private islands, sprawling ranches and perhaps a football team or two, and mingles with presidents and Hollywood stars. The truth more than lives up to the myth. Along with their peers, the Big Four shifted wealth and power in America away from the East Coast, sending three of their stateÂ's native sons to the White House and largely bankrolling the rise of modern conservatism in America. H. L. Hunt became AmericaÂ's richest man by grabbing TexasÂ's largest oilfield out from under the nose of the man who found it; he was also a lifelong bigamist. Clint Murchison entertained British royalty on his Mexican hacienda and bet on racehorses—and conducted dirty deals—with J. Edgar Hoover. Roy Cullen, an elementary school dropout, used his millions to revive the hapless Texas GOP. And Sid Richardson, the Big FourÂ's fun-loving bachelor, was a friend of several presidents, including, most fatefully, Lyndon Johnson. The Big Four produced offspring who frequently made more headlines, and in some cases more millions, than they did. With few exceptions, however, their fortunes came to an end in a swirl of bitter family feuds, scandals, and bankruptcies, and by the late 1980s, the era of the Big Rich was over. But as Texas native Bryan Burrough reveals in this hugely entertaining account, the profound economic, political, and cultural influence of Texas oil is still keenly felt today.

    Studio: For Dummies
    The U.S. government began standardizing and regulating financial reporting in 1929 when the stock market crash made it painfully clear that businesses often made absurd claims and that investors were either gullible, unable to verify information, or both. Now, financial reports are used by a companys management to measure profitability (or lack of it), optimize operations and guide the company, by banks and other lenders to gauge the companys financial health, and by institutional or individual investors interested in purchasing stock. Unless youre financially savvy, annual reports with all those figures, frustrating footnotes, and fine print are boring and intimidating. However, once you have a fundamental knowledge of finance and its basic terminology, you can find the juicy parts. Reading Financial Reports For Dummies by Lita Epstein, a teacher of online financial courses and author of Trading for Dummies, gets you up to speed so you can: Go past the prose that can maximize the positive and minimize the negative and get information in dollars and cents Get an overview from the big threethe balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows Understand the lingo and read between the lines Calculate basics like PE, Dividend Payout Ratio, ROS, ROA, ROE, Operating Margin, and Net Margin It pays for investors to be somewhat skeptical instead of gullible. Pressured to please Wall Street, companies are sometimes tempted to use creative accounting. Youll discover how to: Detect red flags (that, unfortunately, arent emphasized in red) such as lawsuits, changes in accounting methods, and obligations to retirees and future retirees Understand the different reporting requirements for public companies and private companies with various types of business structures Analyze a companys cash flow, a prime indicator of its financial health Scrutinize deals such as mergers, acquisitions, liquidations and other major changes in key assets Organized so you can start where youre comfortable and proceed at your own pace, Reading Financial Reports for Dummies helps managers prepare annual reports and use financial reporting to budget more efficiently and helps investors base their decisions on knowledge instead of hype.

    Crisis Management by Apology: Corporate Response to Allegations of Wrongdoing examines the role of apologia and apology in response to public attack. Author Keith Michael Hearit provides an introduction to these common components of public life, and considers a diverse list of subjects, from public figures and individuals to corporations and institutions. He explores the motivations and rationales behind apologies, and considers the ethics and legal liabilities of these actions. Hearit provides case studies throughout the volume, with many familiar examples from recent events in the United States, and includes an international apology-making case from Japan. The broad-perspective approach of this volume makes the content relevant and appealing to practitioners and scholars in public relations, business communications, and management. It is a valuable text for courses that take a discursive approach to public relations, and it also appeals to readers in business management, examining apology as a response strategy to corporate crises.

    Corporate Public Affairs: Interacting With Interest Groups, Media, and Governments explores the increasing interest in public affairs by today's organizations. Lerbinger indicates that more and more frequently corporations are establishing public affairs positions—typically within public relations departments—to respond to issues and concerns arising out of the sociopolitical environment in which the corporation functions. He articulates the functions and responsibilities of the public affairs role, and investigates the approaches to dealing with primary constituencies—interest groups, media, and government. Divided into five parts, this book: • provides an overview of the corporate public affairs function; • explores strategies of the myriad interest groups in the United States, such as labor unions and environmental, consumer, women's, and human rights groups; • recognizes the media's increasing coverage of business events, especially negative ones, that have tremendous power both to undermine corporate credibility and to support public policy positions; • deals with legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government; and • raises the question of how corporate power strategies have affected the political marketplace. This book will appeal to advanced-level students, scholars, and practitioners in public relations and business fields.

    When Alice Schroeder met Warren Buffett she was an insurance industry analyst and a gifted writer known for her keen perception and business acumen. Her writings on finance impressed him, and as she came to know him she realized that while much had been written on the subject of his investing style, no one had moved beyond that to explore his larger philosophy, which is bound up in a complex personality and the details of his life. Out of this came his decision to cooperate with her on the book about himself that he would never write.

    Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writers questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associatesopening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffetts legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched peoples lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.

    This book was amazing. even though it was a little on the long side for my taste, it was absolutely beautifully written and tells the story of one of the smartest business men in history.
    Should have been more selective

    I dont like the book. Its too long, full of superficial insides. You will not learn nothing for your business or your investments.
    Exhaustive and definitive
    Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :3
    Clearly the definitive Buffett bio, the insight into the personal life vs business life is the most fascinating piece of this work. Everything is here and well-written.
    My only criticism is that this book needs some editing. There are pages of deep, detailed minutia that could have been struck from the book. At times the writing about the business dealings becomes very academic and I dont think people are reading this bio for lessons in stock ownership.
    Overall, a great work of research and structure by the author about a fascinating figure.
    Wired differently? Yes, indeed. But terrific parents?
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
    The growth of the famous multi-billion dollar fortune is traced step by step in great detail and Warren Buffetts personality is laid out. His unrelenting focus on doing what he loves, making money, is fascinating and instructive (most of us dont have the necessary wiring and should stick to low-cost index funds). All the 830 pages are not, however, narrowly focused on Mr. Buffett. Many mini-biographies of relatives, friends, partners and associates who influenced Warren Buffet are included and richly expand the scope of this book. In interviews on television Warren Buffett routinely states that he is wired differently. There is proof for that statement in almost every chapter. But usually he also says that he had terrific parents. This is a misleading but a kind thing to say, because various chapters document the fact that one parent, his mother, subjected Warren Buffet, as a child, to terrible verbal abuse (could that have affected the wiring? the author is not psychiatrist and does not speculate). But she was his mother not an investment, icy cold judgment and honesty would make no sense, kindness does. But obviously "terrific parents" are not a requirement for becoming a billionaire. The "wiring" seems to be the key.

    I believe that the authors of this book needed to do alot of research with the parties involved and the technical nature of the businesses, which shows a good deal of credibility for such a book. Most books are written with alot less research and actual fact. This is the type of book I will buy again and again.

    Studio: Free Press
    Many corporate leaders maintain that politics arenÂ't important or donÂ't exist. Yet, every day in their organizations, power plays, ego trips, turf battles, and deception hurt both careers and the bottom line. When corrupt people with strong political skills gain power, the results can be devastating, as recent corporate scandals have shown. But by increasing their organizational savvy, leaders can become stewards for organizationsÂ' resources, morale, and reputation. Two of the most successful corporate consultants and coaches in the U.S., Rick Brandon, Ph.D., and Marty Seldman, Ph.D., offer proven methods to eliminate unethical behavior at work and use the power of "high-integrity" politics to achieve corporate and career success. Brandon and Seldman empower managers and employees to master corporate politics the ethical way, with successful techniques they have used to coach and train thousands of top executives throughout the world. They enable readers to: * Navigate the political waters with integrity for individual and team success * Recognize different political styles at work and avoid the pitfalls of being under- or overly-political * Learn strategies to manage the corporate "buzz," promote ideas, address hidden agenda, and more * Weed out self-servers, detect deception and learn who to trust and who to not trust * Further teamsÂ' goals by increasing strategic influence and forging high-integrity political cultures The result is a book that helps individuals discover and overcome their own political blind spots and vulnerabilities. They learn step-by-step methods to avoid being underestimated or denied full recognition for their achievements and instead, advance their careers in an ethical manner. The book also provides a leadership wake-up call and strategies for monitoring and managing an organizationÂ's overall political balance and health.

    Taking Minutes of Meetings Creating Success

    Studio: Kogan Page
    Minutes are vital to the success of meetings. Attendees rely on them for information they may have missed and they serve as an essential communications tool for non-participants. In addition, the action points highlighted in minutes act as a timely reminder for the whole organization. Minute-taking is such a crucial part of business management meetings but there is a common misconception that all secretaries and administrators can simply take minutes. Taking minutes involves listening skills, the ability to absorb information and to summarize it simultaneously. The minute-taker is one of the most important and powerful people in a meeting. Although the tasks can be daunting, it is an opportunity to develop knowledge, broaden horizons and build credibility within the organization. Now in its second edition, Taking Minutes of Meetings is an accessible reference guide following the whole meeting cycle. Starting with organising a meeting, it goes on to give reliable, hands-on advice about the sections of a meeting; the agenda; personal preparation; taking notes; accuracy; structuring notes; writing up the minutes and recording decisions and actions. Aimed at anyone new to taking minutes and professionals looking to brush up their technique.

    Do you hate cramming all of your errands into the weekend? Do you resent having to beg permission to watch your kidÂ's weekday soccer game? Are you tired of seeing people who arenÂ't very good at their jobs get promoted because they arrive early and stay late? ThereÂ's got to be a better way—and there is! Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson show that everyone benefits when we change the focus from hours to outcomes. ItÂ's just that our traditional definition of work—Monday through Friday, nine to five—doesnÂ't make sense in the always-on global economy. So, Ressler and Thompson created the Results-Only Work Environment. In a ROWE, you control when, where, and how long you work. As long as you meet your objectives, the way you spend your time is entirely up to you. Suddenly, work isnÂ't a place you go, itÂ's a thing you do. In a ROWE, there are no mandatory meetings or fixed schedules. You stop doing any activity that wastes time, and no one criticizes you for Â"leaving earlyÂ" or Â"coming in late.Â" If you do your best work at midnight or on Sundays, go for it! ROWE sounds like a fantasy, but Ressler and Thompson have already made it a reality at Best Buy, a Fortune 100 company. They have proven that ROWE not only makes employees happier but also delivers better results. And now the authors are helping companies implement ROWE nationwide. Infused with passion and common sense, Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It will change the way you think about your job, your company, and your quality of life. Read it and join the revolution!
