Twice as Far


Book Description

On the 2nd of September, 1998, near the small fishing village of Peggy’s Cove, N.S., a Swissair passenger jet carrying 229 people crashed into the ocean with a complete loss of life. This book is the true story of the crash investigation as told by the RCMP’s main crime scene investigator who worked on the investigation from start to finish. For more than four years, he searched for the truth amid the remains of human flesh, and the debris of the aircraft. What he found was not what was presented to the public. Nepotism, deception, intimidation, and lies were tools used by supervisors and managers to overcome this one-person criminal investigation and keep the truth from the public. This is the in-depth story that shows how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada broke the law, and failed to perform their legal obligations to the Canadian and International public, and to the victims and their families.

Is Flying Risky Business?


Book Description

A provocative, informative look inside the aviation industry-the problems, the safety concerns, the arrogance. Since September 11th 2001, the airline industry has taken a severe blow to its economic stability. Many changes have been made, but many more still need to come in order to make this industry as safe as it should be. We now see the airline industry starting to stabilize, but at what cost? Are current Federal policies assuring your safety, or are organizations like the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) still able to dictate legislation in Washington? These questions and many others are candidly answered in this expose. With information from this book the air traveler will acquire the ability to sense trouble and steer clear of undesirable air carriers. A person will be more knowledgeable about an industry that has thrived on the ignorance of the masses, and with this knowledge they may can make better, informed decisions.

Intercultural Management


Book Description

Any company operating across culturally different contexts has a need for intercultural management, whether the cultural differences are ""external"" (e.g. different regional cultures) or ""internal"" (e.g. differences in company culture). With the number of companies falling into this category, it is not surprising that intercultural management is an area of increasing importance to both academics and practitioners.
