Low Tech Guy In A High Tech World

It’s no secret that Corporate America continuously experiences change. Everything from company values to the technology and processes that sales teams use are at risk to undergo rapid changes. Unfortunately for today’s businesses, they have strayed from the basics that once made companies great, things like relationship-building, accountability, and customer service. Companies have transitioned from being revenue-driven to cost-driven and now to data and data analytics driven. An obsession with data has allowed executives and managers to lose sight of the big picture — long-term customer success and loyalty — and focus on minute details that are easy to correct and control but might not impact overall sales and success. This has made it increasingly difficult for companies to establish brand awareness and maintain any kind of growth and sustainability. Low-Tech Guy in a High-Tech World: Managing People, Sales, and Business in Today’s Corporate Environment stresses the back-to-basics approach in management that enabled companies to grow in the past and emphasizes how badly we need it in today’s corporate climate. Using his experience as a sales management leader for over 30 years, author Stephen Rubbico takes an insightful look at current business practices. This book is a must-read for managers of all levels and experience, not to mention key executives at companies who are intent on not only surviving Corporate America but on thriving

Author Shideler Harpes career in journalism and public relations spanned more than 60 years and gave him opportunities to connect with bums and barons (that would be hotel honcho Barron Hilton), perverts and presidents, inventors and introverts, hookers and housewives, charlatans and champions. In his new book, People said, You oughta write a book! So I did., he notes that A few were despicable, all were interesting. Harpe began his long romance with writing at age ten, as a reporter and then editor of the occasional journal that covered news at the elementary school he attended in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since that modest beginning, he has worked on newspapers from New York City to Honolulu. His prodigious newspaper and PR output includes just about everything that can be set in type. The result is a collection of observations, interviews, essays, commentary, short fiction, and great thoughts each a slice of his life which the author shares to entertain and enlighten the reader.

Drugs, Lies and Family Ties New York Drug Dealer Fights to Clear His Name in New Original Screenplay NEW YORK – A not-so-innocent but kind-hearted bi-sexual drug dealer in New York fights to clear his name in Lawrence J. Corneck’s thrill-a-minute screenplay, Big Cigar, small d**k (now available through AuthorHouse). Dick “Scarlet” Scarlet may be a drug dealer, but he’s no murderer. When a party girl, earlier supplied with drugs by Scarlet, collapses and dies in the bathroom at a party after date rape drugs are slipped into her drink, two spoiled sons of wealthy wheeler-dealers, Lyle and Kyle, are responsible. They beat Scarlet up and frame him for the crime. Scarlet is in deep trouble. Then his older brother, Dick “Scar” Scarlet, gets involved. Scar is a powerful drug dealer and knows that his brother’s messy trial will be bad for business. Against Scarlet’s wishes, Scar decides to murder all of the witnesses to avoid a trial. One by one, the witnesses start to disappear. One would not want to meet Scar in a dark alley. Meanwhile, Lyle and Kyle’s fathers, Lance and Vance, rush to the aid of their sons (to increase their own business interests, of course). Both powerful and ego-driven, they inevitably turn on each other. Things become more complicated for Scarlet when he befriends Maria, a friend of his and the dead party girl. Maria is crippled from an accident and homeless. Scar wants to use her in a ploy to lure young people into drug addiction. Scarlet hides her from his brother and attempts to keep her safe. This thrilling story of greed, corruption and betrayal will keep readers glued to its pages. Lance and Scar, each sure of himself and of ultimate victory, face off in a shocking conclusion. Maria’s potential involvement in Scar’s drug dealings eventually leads to a standoff between Scarlet and his violent brother. Will Scarlet finally find the courage to stand up to his brother and clear his name on his own terms? Born and raised in New York, Corneck continues to love living in the Big Apple. His first book, Existential Hell: A Screenplay Trilogy (also available through AuthorHouse), a companion to Big Cigar, small d**k, was published in 2005.

" "Computerization movement" (CM) refers to a special kind of social and technological movement that promotes the adoption of computing within organizations and society. ... Through theoretical analyses, systematic empirical studies, field-based studies, and case studies of specific technologies, the book shows CMs to be driven by Utopian visions of technology that become part of the "ether" within society. The empirical studies presented here show the need for designers, users, and the media to be aware that CM rhetoric can propose grand visions that never become part of a reality and reinforce the need for critical and scholarly review of promising new technologies."--Back cover.
