'This book is about one super-important concept. You must learn
about 'Strategic Inflection Points', because sooner or later you
are going to live through one.' - Steve Jobs There are moments in
any business when massive change occurs, when all the rules shift
fast and forever. They can make or break companies and individuals,
and they can happen at any moment. Andrew Grove calls such moments
strategic inflection points, and he lived through several as CEO of
Intel, where he transformed the company into the world's largest
computer chipmaker, and the 7th most profitable company in the
Fortune 500. Drawing on decades of personal experience and insight,
as well as examining timeless examples from other companies, Grove
reveals how to identify and exploit the key moments of change that
generate either drastic failure or incredible success. Only the
Paranoid Survive is a classic lesson in leadership that anyone in
any industry will benefit from. Because we must all assume that
something will change - and soon.
Corruption is a problem in prisons about which we hear very little,
except when there is an escape from custody or other scandal that
makes the media. The closed nature of correctional institutions has
made the activities that go on within them less visible to the
outside world. While some persons might be inclined to dismiss
correctional corruption as an issue, this view ignores the scale of
criminality and misconduct that can go on in prison and the impact
it can have upon not just the good order of the prison or the
rights of prisoners but on the prospects for successful
reintegration of ex-prisoners into society. This book is the first
to examine the phenomenon in any detail or to suggest what might be
done to reduce its incidence and the harms that can arise from it.
Andrew Goldsmith, Mark Halsey and Andrew Groves argue that it is
not enough to tackle corruption alone. Rather there should be a
broader attempt to promote what the authors call 'correctional
integrity'.

How did a pioneering company in the semiconductor industry not only
survive but thrive in the face of the explosive change and
upheavals that forced it to transform itself twice in the course of
its thirty-year history? The answer lies in the quality of its
strategy-making process, contends leading strategic management
scholar Robert A. Burgelman in this extraordinary book based on an
exhaustive twelve-year study he conducted inside Intel Corporation.
At once a history of strategy-making at Intel as well as a
strategy-making field manual that any high-technology manager will
need to consult frequently, Strategy Is Destiny truly describes
strategy-in-action as the way of life of senior executives in the
corporation of the future.
