Just in Time to be Too Late


Book Description

In her bestselling guide Can We Help it if We're Fabulous, the irrepressible Peta Mathias shared her thoughts on being a woman. Now, with Just in Time to be Too Late, she turns her attention to what it means to be a man in the 21st century. What makes men cry? Why are bad boys so irresistible? What exactly is the point of sport? To what extent is a man's self worth connected to his job? What do men look for in a relationship? Does a man ever get over his first love? Why do men lie? What does he need to be happy? And, of course, why are men like buses? These are just some of the vexing questions Peta looks for answers to. Though she has been married and has had her fair share both of meaningful relationships and flirtatious dalliances, Peta is the first to admit that she knew very little about the opposite sex when she began work on this book - 'A virgin would know more about men than me because she's probably listened more.' Consequently Just in Time to be Too Late is an account of Peta's own discoveries as she delves deeper into the mysterious world of men - a highly personal and frequently hilarious pilgrimage that will resonate with women everywhere.




The Compleat Biz


Book Description

This far-sighted book shows how, in the 21st Century, we can develop a model for the organisation that is built on a philosophy that considers people and sustainability but above all else answers the question "Why are we in business?" It is intended to help all those who seek to make their organisations rewarding places to work and at the same time be responsive to the world around them and the people involved. This really is a different way of looking at what we do and why we do it. Not from the standpoint of right or wrong but from understanding the overall consequences of our strategies and their execution. It explodes several myths that plague management, including the idea that never-ending growth is an essential for success. Importantly, the writing looks forward and provides us with models that are very much in tune with the changing world and the need to re-assess how we operate on planet earth. It contains a serious message delivered in an engaging way, with humour and insight, drawing on real-life situations and experience. An intriguing approach to the complex problems that we call business.

Just-in-Time Logistics


Book Description

The enduring repercussions of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the worsening global economy following the burst of the dotcom bubbles in 2001, the financial tsunami in 2008, and the incessant rise in customer demand for better services have all contributed to shrinking profit margins for businesses around the world. To cope with these challenges, firms are discovering logistics as a competitive weapon when looking for ways to strengthen and preserve their market positions. One successful solution has been the adoption of Just-in-Time manufacturing systems, which involve many functional areas of a firm such as manufacturing, engineering, marketing, and purchasing, among others. Just-in-Time Logistics extends the JIT concept in manufacturing to business logistics, an area that has been observed to account for more than 30 per cent of sales revenue for some firms. It gives you an overview and an introduction of JIT logistics, and provides managerial insights on how to achieve improved logistics performance in terms of cost and service enhancements. A discussion of the quality, implementation, and performance measurement issues related to the application of JIT in business logistics is also presented.




Just in Time


Book Description

JUST IN TIME My relationship with Reed has always been complicated, especially when I give him reasons to find me irresponsible, and we start bickering. I don't hold it against him though. After all, if he ever stopped criticizing me, I'd have to do the same, and where is the fun in that? Things get even more complicated when I declare in front of his family and friends that I'm in love with him. Granted, I could have chosen a better moment than the night he was going to propose to his girlfriend. Now he's mad and wants nothing to do with me. However, I haven't yet said my last word, and still have a few irresistible tricks up my sleeve to change his mind. Hopefully I'll be able to see my plan through to the end.
