There is no denying the global economy is changing at a rapid
pace. Competition is increasing in intensity, technology is
increasing in complexity, and innovation is increasing in
importance, but approaches to managerial decision-making have not
kept pace. This rigidity explains such corporate disasters as the
blowout, explosion, and fire at the BP drilling platform in the
Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the total collapse of the residential
mortgage industry that started in 2006, and the use of lead paint
on children's toys revealed in 2007. Managers today face 21st
century problems, and Avoiding Corporate Breakdowns provides the
means of solving these very problems.
Avoiding Corporate Breakdowns focuses on prescribing a preventative
strategy for managerial actors who face economic, social and
environmental disasters. Prevention is basically simple, but it
will require a considerable broadening in both the nature and the
extent of managerial responsibility.
A vivid picture of Deer Isle from its discovery to the
incorporation of Stonington in 1897, principally drawn from the
reminiscences of the original settlers. Mr. Hosmer briefly touches
on theories of the discovery of Deer Isle, the physical hardships
faced by the early settlers, the development of mills, land grants,
and incorporation (1789). A listing of male inhabitants that would
have been twenty years or older at the time of the Revolution is
included in a detailed account of conflict with the British. The
largest section of this work is devoted to over 175 brief
genealogical histories of individual settlers and early
inhabitants, beginning with Michael Carney, the first settler
(1762), and concluding with Elisha Grant, Esq. (1840). This section
also provides a brief account of vessels and men lost at sea, with
a listing of individual vessels and lives lost (1818-1881). The
text touches on individual physicians (1824-1849), and provides a
list of persons who have attained the age of ninety years (or
more), and died in town (1833-1882). The Municipal and
Miscellaneous section (1789-1882) provides a brief chronicle of
town business (1790-1844 and 1846-1882) and Civil War involvement,
a brief history of ecclesiastical development with sketches of
individual churches, and a section on the origin of location names.
