The Jericho Principle: How Companies Use Strategic Collaboration to Find New Sources of Value Ralph Welborn, Vince Kasten, Steve Ballmer (foreword)
 "In the spirit of Christensen and with the urgency of Foster and Kaplan, Welborn and Kasten have dissected one of the critical challenges facing business leadership in times of great uncertainty: the collaborative imperative. Applying Ronald Coase?sseminal work on transaction costs to an economic environment increasingly characterized by Robert Metcalfe?s theory of the value of networks, they conclude: ?in times where uncertainty is the rule rather than the exception, we must find ways todrive down the transaction cost of innovation.? This creates a collaborative imperative that is both ?inexorably necessary and inherently risky.? Realizing the opportunity and managing the attendant risk of collaboration is the vital subject that comprises the body of this book. This is neither theoretician?s tome nor overwritten journalistic screed; The Jericho Principle is a serious analytical contribution for the practitioner ?about implementing strategy, not......

Home Buyer's Checklist Robert Irwin
 McGraw-Hill. Everyone who has bought a home knows that an official inspection is no guarantee against unpleasant surprises, and that, ultimately, the burden to ask the important questions about the physical aspects of a home is on the home buyer. But buying a home is one of life's most stressful, emotionally fraught activities, and it's easy to see why many home buyers fail to anticipate the kinds of exasperating and expensive problems that can crop up after closing. Written by bestselling real estate author (more than 1 million books sold) Robert Irwin, "Home Buyer's Checklist" levels the playing field by equipping home buyers with a comprehensive list of questions pertaining to all the physical aspects of a house that may not be covered in an official inspection. From basement to attic, pantry to lawn, Bob walks readers through every room, nook, cranny, closet and keep, asking important questions about windows, screens, doors and door frames, fireplaces, light fixtures, moldings, and much,......

The Conversion of Rental Housing to Condominiums and Cooperatives: A National Study of Scope, Causes and Impacts Us Department of Housing and Urban Devel, Donna E. Shalala
 This landmark national study of the extent and impact of condominium and cooperative conversions promises to be of major policy and program significance. The recent growth of condominium and cooperative conversions is a response to basic changes in the Nation?s social and housing market conditions which, in its course, helps some and hurts others. For this reason, conversion has sparked considerable controversy ? a controversy exacerbated by the shortage of information about what is taking place. This report, prepared in response to a Congressional directive, presents the results of a multi-faceted study designed to provide this information. It documents the present and probable future extent and location of conversions, the factors contributing to their increasing numbers, and their effects ? on people, neighborhoods, and communities. As will be apparent, the scope, causes, and consequences of the conversion phenomenon are, in many ways, quite different than......
