Colleagues:
I edit the Strategic Management series for Business Expert Press (BEP) and the Corporate Governance series, along with Kenneth Merchant at USC, and am always looking for new book proposals. With the fall semester now behind most of us, I was hoping a book project had crept into your wish-list for New Year's resolutions. While most of our books are stylized based on an author's particular area of expertise and research, I am also on the lookout for book proposals from faculty capable and interested in authoring short books on strategy "essentials," such as technology strategy, corporate strategy, and organization design.
Our books offer concise distillations of leading edge business practices in a form accessed by executives and used in executive education programs around the globe. A subset of these are published in partnership with Harvard Business Press (books that have a more "primer" feel for a typical MBA course have the best shot at getting into that set). Recent releases include "Blind Spots, Biases, and Other Pathologies in the Boardroom" (Ken Merchant & Katharina Pick), "Fundamentals of Global Strategy" (Cornelis de Kluyver), "Sustainable Business" (Nancy Landrum and Sandra Edwards), "Knowledge Management" (Arnold Kransdorff), "Building Strategy and Performance through Time" (Kim Warren), "A Leader's Guide to Knowledge Management" (John & JoAnn Girard), "Mergers and Acquisitions: Turmoil in Top Management Teams" (Jeffrey Krug), "Achieving Excellence in Management" (Andrew Kilner), "Operational Leadership" (Andrew Spanyi), "Implementing the Change Process: A Self-Paced Workbook for Newly Appointed CEOs" (Bernard Liebowitz), "Positive Management" (Jack Walters), "Dynamic Strategies for Small Business" (Steve Seteroff & Lydia Campuzano), "Strategic Analysis: A Structured Approach" (Al Warner), and most recently, "Grow by Focusing on What Matters: Strategy in 3-Circles" (Joel E. Urbany & James H. Davis),
Forthcoming titles (tentative titles) include "Building Organizational Capacity for Change" (William Q. Judge), "A Stakeholder's Approach to Issues Management" (Robert Boutiller), "Make the Network the Organization (Ken Everett), Family Business Consultation: An In-Depth Analysis of What the Family and the Consultant Need to Know (Bernard Liebowitz), and "The Truth about Strategy for Growth" (Max Mckeown).
Take a look at BEP and our strategy and governance collections online (www.businessexpertpress.com) or contact me or our editor David Parker directly if you have an interest in joining our growing author team.
Warm regards, Mason
