Minority business success : refocusing on the American dream
In Minority Business Success, authors Leonard Greenhalgh and James Lowry chart a path for the full participation of minority businesses in the U.S. economy. Today, minorities are well on their way to becoming the majority of our workforce and a large part of our entrepreneurial endeavors; their full contribution is essential to national competitive advantage in a global economy.
The beginning of this book summarizes demographic changes in America and shows why it's in the national interest to foster the survival, prosperity, and growth of minority-owned businesses. The authors outline why these businesses are vital to the solution to our current economic woes. Next, the book turns to what minority firms must do to take their place in major value chains, and, finally, the book examines what governments, corporations, and support organizations ought to be doing to foster minority inclusion. In total, Greenhalgh and Lowry lay out a new paradigm for developing minority businesses so that they can fully contribute to our national competitive advantage and prosperity.

Evolution of Teaching Negotiation: The Legacy of Walton and McKersie
People have been negotiating since time immemorial. Negotiation, in this sense, is the process of arriving at commitment to a course of action in cases in which the parties entered the conversation without consensus -- or, alternatively, in which neither party had the power to impose a decision. Indeed, one can imagine cave-dwellers negotiating whether to hunt for a wooly mammoth (which is dangerous) or set up a fishing weir (which is cold and wet). Clubbing a dissenter into submission was not a viable alternative to negotiation because it eliminated one person from the food-gathering party -- but it probably happened more often than it should have. So negotiation has always been important, but it hasn't always been formally taught. Some of the component skills have been pondered and promulgated for millennia. Law schools faced a different challenge. Negotiation in its various forms fell under the category of alternative dispute resolution.

Job Insecurity: Toward Conceptual Clarity
This study has 4 aims: 1. to amend conceptual inadequacies evident in past research involving the job insecurity construct, 2. to specify the content realm of the construct, 3. to demonstrate how individual differences moderate how people experience and react to job insecurity, and 4. to identify those reactions. A model is presented that summarizes existing knowledge about job insecurity and indicates further research needed to understand the nature, causes, and consequences of this increasingly significant phenomenon. The model is based on the results of a research program in declining organizations and a review of the relevant literature. Future research should concentrate on: 1. development of a job insecurity scale, 2. mapping of the causes, 3. identification of the reaction, 4. exploration of individual differences, and 5. understanding the positive feedback loop.
