Download or read book Stranded in the Jungle written by Curt Weiss and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the story of an often overlooked, one-of-a-kind rock 'n' roll musician and the historic times he lived in. In spite of numerous opportunities for success, he became a tragedy. Jerry Nolan came out of New York in the 1970s as part of two of the most influential and infamous bands of the time, the proto-punk New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers. Jerry had what it took to be a star, but his battles with heroin continually stymied his career and ultimately ended his life. Despite this, he is remembered as a cross between a Martin Scorsese film character and jazz legend Gene Krupa: a stylish, urban, wisecracking, trendsetting raconteur, who was also a powerhouse drummer. Stranded in the Jungle: Jerry Nolan's Wild Ride – A Tale of Drugs, Fashion, the New York Dolls, and Punk Rock tells Jerry's story through extensive research and interviews with those closest to him: bandmates, friends, lovers, and family members, including new interviews with members of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bands the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Talking Heads, and Blondie. It gives firsthand accounts of not only Jerry's life and struggles but the earliest history of punk rock in both New York and London, highlighting his notorious and incendiary musical partner, Johnny Thunders.

Download or read book An Evolving Paradigm written by Anthony F. Buono and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Evolving Paradigm: An Evolving Paradigm: Integrative Perspectives on Orgainizational Design, Change, Strategic Management, and Ethics—was prepared specifically for Benedictine University’s doctoral program in organization development (OD). In addressing the myriad strategic considerations that underlie intervening in organizations, questions of posturing, image management, and ethics raise significant challenges for how we think about our role as change agents and the unique set of responsibilities that we assume in that role. An earlier volume in the Research in Management Consulting series, -- Emerging Trends in Management Consulting -- focused on the Janus-faced nature of management consulting. Janus, the Roman god of doorways and gateways, looking backwards and forwards with contrasting perspectives—beginnings and endings, comedy and tragedy, good and evil — is a useful analogy to capture the multidimensional nature—positive and negative—of the consulting realm. For all the challenges and shortcomings the field of OD and change might encompass, there are also those magical moments when our interventions succeed, when our efforts truly enhance organizational performance, and when organizational members grow, develop, and become more satisfied with their roles and activities. The reality is that the latter demands our conscious attention, commitment, and, to some degree, sacrifice. When we are less thoughtful than we should be, when we are distracted by other commitments and obligations, or when we find ourselves in situations where we are less than prepared is when Janus’ other face materializes. The volume explores the possibilities and challenges inherent in OD intervention and change initiatives.

Download or read book Management Fashions written by Krzysztof Klincewicz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the theory of management fashions proposed in the 1990s by Eric Abrahamson, Krzysztof Klincewicz analyzes the changing popularity of management concepts accompanied by solutions. Among these are management bestsellers, consulting services, software systems, methodologies, and approaches to organizational change, training courses, professional certifications and even new corporate positions.The book presents the phenomena of management fashions as being the key driver for the development of the management knowledge industry, consisting of consulting companies, computer firms, publishing houses, professional institutes, and other organizations involved in the launching and the promotion of new management techniques. The author supplements the existing body of knowledge by focusing on the supply-side of management fashions, particularly the strategies and marketing techniques of solution vendors, and proposes a model of relations between management ideas and tangible solutions, explaining how bestselling ideas are turned into objects and institutions.The empirical research described in this volume involves multiple methods, including discourse volume analysis and qualitative historical techniques. Included also is a comprehensive overview of the recent relevant developments in sociology, marketing, and organization sciences, in which the author draws on the heritage of praxiology by taking a meta-level perspective on the propositions of management science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s crazy. How did this start with fire? Burning when I met you, with desire. It’s crazy. How did we get to this? We both fell for something. We didn’t know exists… The best hit songs were written after breakups… This was my way, to tell about my last heartbreak. My relationship with Jake started as a stupid bet and ended in a bad romance. So I decided to move on. I had it all! Finally I became a famous writer. I had a new life and a relationship with two wonderful men. Until Jake crossed my path once again and tempted me, like the devil was sitting on my left shoulder. He was someone I couldn’t resist; he was one of my seven savage sins… Wrath: “Whatever begins in anger, ends in shame?” Jake chose the sweetest words to get in to my heart, and the most poisonous actions to break it! Now he is sorry and wants me back. Envy: “Jealousy is the tie that binds, and binds, and binds.” Jake never wanted me but he couldn’t let me go either. Gluttony: “The gluttons dig their own graves, with their teeth.” Jake was hungry for attention, not love. Sloth: “What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient.” My feelings for him were clear, Jake had never the heart to open and give love back. Hubris: “We are rarely proud when we are alone.” Winning for him, to boost his ego, was always a thing for Jake, and never will give you credit for anything. Avarice: “To greed, all nature is insufficient.” What I achieved, Jake had to do it better, bigger and grater. It was never enough. Lust: “Sex is the consolation when you can’t have love.” Jake and I had a great sex appetite for each other, but when it came down to it, afterwards he dumped me like I was some kind of trash. I wrote this book for him, for Jake! To let the world know, what for a man he really was. He was a devil disguised in a form of an angel. I was a great writer, and writers don’t forget! Everything you’ve done, it could be used against you.
