Decisions about Re-engineering is more analytical and thought provoking than most books on the topic of Business Process Re-engineering. It raises the key issues calling for decisions, delineates the options and trade-off factors that typically arise, and suggests how to tackle them.

In Subjectivity, sixteen leading scholars examine the turn to the subject in modern philosophy and consider its historical antecedents in ancient and medieval thought. Some critics of modernity reject the turn to the subject as a specifically modern error, arguing that it logically leads to nihilism and moral relativism by divorcing the human mind from objective reality. Yet, some important thinkers of the last half-century--including Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, John Finnis, and Bernard Lonergan--consider a subjective starting point and claim to find a similar position in ancient and medieval thought. If correct, their positions suggest that one can adopt the subjective turn and remain true to the tradition. This is a timely question. The common good of our polity encounters a situation in which many believe that there is no objective reality to which human minds and wills ought to conform, a conclusion that suggests we can define and construct reality. In light of this, the notion of a natural or objective reality to which human beings ought to conform becomes particularly vital. Should we, then, adopt the modern turn to subjectivity and argue for objective truth and moral order on its basis, or reject the subjective turn as part of the problem and return to an earlier approach that grounds these things in nature or some other external reality? Critics of modern subjectivity argue that the modern turn to subjectivity must be abandoned because it is the very source of the nominalism that threatens to undermine liberal democracy. Others argue, however, that subjectivity itself logically leads to the recognition of an objective reality beyond the mind of the individual. Edited by R. J. Snell and Steven F. McGuire, this collection will be of particular interest to intellectual historians, political philosophers, theologians, and philosophers.

The evolution of the Armor and Infantry branches into a single functional branch is occurring due to several factors - business efficiencies, tactical integration of movement, maneuver, fires and engagement on the GWOT battlefields, formalization of the Army warfighting functions into the operations process, concept development and the need for Army integration with the Joint Force Application function, and the need for adaptive and tailorable formations in the present and future security environment. The 2005 BRAC legislation mandated the creation of an Army Maneuver Center at Fort Benning, Georgia, bringing together the Armor and Infantry into a common institutional center. Two interdependent schools will continue to develop and evolve within this center of excellence, so that the requirements for Army maneuver capabilities, balancing maneuver and engagement, can be satisfied to form the nucleus of land domain Force Application formations. This branch will be responsive to the needs of the joint force in Unified Action by adjusting the institutional inputs to force development of Army Maneuver Forces (within strategic guidance for the right mix of maneuver and direct engagement BCTs dependent upon the needs of the national security environment). Centralized control of the DOTMLPF domains using the ARFORGEN model of unit life cycle management and mission orientation, as well as applying TRADOC Capabilities Managers' Unit of Action Integrated Concept Teams for mission preparation will allow the Army Maneuver Branch to anticipate and meet these requirements and develop a more agile and tactically dominant force. A greater understanding of the maneuver system (task organized for mission orientation), as well as systems of maneuver (forms of maneuver warfare through force tailoring to achieve specific operational defeat effects) will be achieved within the Army and the joint force. Ultimately this will allow for maximum effectiveness within higher degrees of efficien
