	Management Mole	by John Mole Jan. 03, 2012	$2.24	56691 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in French and German and with an MBA from INSEAD I spent fifteen years criss-crossing Europe and the Middle East for an American bank. In the mid 70’s I was posted to Greece. When we were transferred we left an old stone house on the island of Evia, which we go back to every year. My fortieth birthday present to myself was to quit salaried employment. The main reason was to write full time. I reviewed the modern French novel and then science fiction for the TLS. Published works include three comic novels - “Sail or Return”, “The Monogamist,” “Thanks, Eddie!” - and the best-selling guide to European cultures “Mind Your Manners,” currently in its third edition and available in twenty languages. “Management Mole” was about going back as a temp in the back offices of the kind of organisation I used to manage. Meanwhile I tried my hand at various entrepreneurial ventures. An attempt to establish a franchised chain of baked potato restaurants in Moscow came to an end when the Russian Mafia became interested. I had more success with INBIO Ltd, which imports Russian biotechnology for environmental protection and with a project to control the spread of water hyacinth on Tanzania‘s Lake Victoria. These ventures resulted in books such as “It's All Greek To Me!” and “I was a Potato Oligarch.” I now write full time again. When I am not at the keyboard I sing and play the baglama, a miniature bouzouki, in a Greek band in London. I love to travel, especially around the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Journeys have inspired “The Sultan's Organ” and “For Love of Helen.” And of course whatever I am doing I read whenever I can - in print and on Kindle.

	Time Management with GTD® and iPad®	by Emanuele Castagno Dec. 28, 2011	$3.99	14562 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Emanuele Castagno si innamora dei computer e della telematica dopo aver visto, a 11 anni, il film War Games e, lo stesso giorno, decide che da grande sarebbe diventato Ingegnere Elettronico. I suoi genitori lo incoraggiano acquistandogli il primo home computer: uno Zx Spectrum 48 della Sinclair che ancora conserva in una teca. Su questo computer Emanuele sviluppa numerose applicazioni imparando, da autodidatta, il linguaggio Basic e l’Assembler per realizzare rudimentali video games. L’anno successivo, nel 1984, i suoi genitori, vista la sua reale passione per questo nuovo campo del sapere, lo incoraggiano ulteriormente assecondando la sua richiesta di un computer più potente e versatile: l’Apple ][e. Grazie a questo computer, Emanuele sviluppa le prime applicazioni che vende per autofinanziarsi gli investimenti in tecnologia, spaziando da un’applicazione per uno studio dentistico a un gioco di avventura. Insieme ai computer, Emanuele coltiva la sua grande passione per le reti di telecomunicazioni diventando un esperto della rete Itapac e poi dei BBS (Bulleting Board Systems) per poi rimanere folgorato da Mosaic e dalla nascente Internet nel 1993 durante il suo secondo anno di Ingegneria Elettronica a Genova. L’utilizzo in mobilità dei computer lo interessa molto ma i primi portatili - o meglio trasportabili - sono troppo costosi come il primo palmare: l’Apple Newton. Nel 1996 fonda, con un compagno di università, la società FSC Consulting per offrire servizi alle piccole aziende in ambito Internet e networking. Sviluppa, in quegli anni, competenze di management e business development. Dopo quattro anni, per crescere ulteriormente, cede la società ai soci per trasferirsi a Milano e accettare le sfide della new economy lavorando per framfab prima e A.T. Kearney poi. Queste esperienze lavorative gli permettono di sviluppare competenze di project management e di creazione di portali web complessi con modelli di business a supporto degli stessi. In quegli anni, i primi palmari sono già diventati suoi compagni fedeli di avventure. Nel 2004 accetta la sfida, offertagli da Altran, di avviare una nuova sede a Genova. Nel 2007 trascina la moglie a New York, con la scusa di una vacanza, per acquistare il primo iPhone 2G al quale sono seguiti tutti i successivi modelli acquistati, più comodamente, sotto casa. Ma il suo desiderio di mobilità, accesso alla rete e computer si concretizza solo nel 2010 nell’iPad dal quale non si separa mai. Oggi lavora, sempre in Altran, come manager e key account manager nel settore telecomunicazioni, elettronica e media. La sua professionalità, oggi, convive con il suo grande amore per la tecnologia, la mobilità, il management e lo sviluppo business, non necessariamente in quest’ordine. Il desiderio di trasmettere le sue esperienze e best practice sull’utilizzo dell’iPad a livello professionale l’hanno spinto a realizzare questo primo e-book.

	Employing Generation Why? Understanding, Managing, and Motivating Your New Workforce	by Eric Chester Dec. 08, 2011	$7.99	51015 words	Sample 15%

Eric is the only speaker who focuses on developing work ethic in the emerging workforce and he’s written the first business book for leaders on improving work ethic since 1904. Since 1998, Eric Chester has been known by millions as the premier expert on Generation Y. As an award-winning keynote speaker and a bestselling author, he was the first to explain the differences the new enigmatic generation brought to the workforce, and he emerged as the “go to” guy when employers wanted to know how to recruit, train, manage, motivate, and retain them in the workplace. Since most people now recognize the differences this age group has introduced to the workplace, Eric has evolved his program into one that addresses the core problem that is eroding the foundation of America’s way of life: the lack of work ethic among young people. Having addressed more than 2000 audiences from a plethora of industries over the past 20 years, Eric’s programs are fluid, teeming with information and strategies, and impeccably aligned with innovative multimedia technology that visually reinforces tools, concepts and solutions.

His client list includes Dairy Queen, Harley-Davidson, Wegmans, Wells Fargo, and Toys-R-Us. He is the author of Reviving Work Ethic: A Leader’s Guide to Ending Entitlement and Restoring Pride in the Emerging Workforce, the first book of its kind since 1904. Also, Eric authored BRING YOUR A GAME TO WORK – Seven Values That Will Make Every Employer Want to Hire You and Fight to Keep You (ChesPress 2010), the centerpiece of The A Game, showing teens what every employer wants and expects from them. In addition, Eric has authored three other titles, and co-authored eight books for teens.

	The Good Manager	by Paul Wallis Oct. 19, 2011	$9.99	10809 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Professional writer, author of 14 books, digital journalist, musician, graphic artist. I love to write, and if people get 1% of the fun out of reading my books as I do writing them, they're a good deal. I loathe formula writing and I detest conformity. My books and I have a lot in common. Somebody said- "Guys don't read!" My answer- "Nor do cockroaches." Interesting how philosophy bumps in to these ideas, isn't it? Smashwords customers please note: The reason for my relatively high prices is that like most pro writers I'm very tired of getting paid peanuts for my hard work. A decade's work for very little has made me less than keen on birdseed prices. The only other thing I can say in favor of my prices is that you definitely won't find anything like my books online, particularly in the sugary world of management science. I don't write for idiots. Important note re "Customer Service for Managers" I'm sorry, but repeated attempts to format this book have been unsuccessful. Really, I'm now on my tenth draft version, and I do have a life to live. If you have problems or can't download this book, I really don't know what the options are. There is an earlier print and e-book version on lulu.com.
