Managing
Small Enterprises: Models For Developing The Competitive Performance
of Small Enterprises
Author: Umasuthan Kaloo, PhD
First Published: 2010
ISBN: 978-983-72-0632-8
Price: Soft Cover - RM 59.00 (US$ 18.00); Hard Cover - RM 89.90 (US$
27.00)
In most
countries, small enterprises account for more than 95% of all
business enterprises. In terms of their contribution to GDP, small
enterprises may fall behind large enterprises, but they usually run
neck to neck with large enterprises in generating job opportunities
and creating social stability. Today's small enterprises are also
the seedbed of tomorrow's large enterprises.
In this book, the author explains how the distinguishing features of
clusters of small enterprises, which differentiate them not only
from other classes of business organizations but also from each
other, pose different challenges to managers. The author uses
several case studies sourced from Malaysia, the United Kingdom,
Thailand and Taiwan to illustrate these different challenges faced
by managers and how they have been addressed in different business
environments. The book closes with guidelines for what managers of
small enterprises and managers of supporting national and
international agencies can do to develop the competitive performance
of the small enterprises under their care.

Price: RM 27.50 (US$ 8.00)
The purpose
of this book is to share with anyone whose function is to train,
teach or coach others in any subject matter, a training technique
that has been developed, tried, tested and successfully practiced
over a number of years. This training technique has been developed
by studying and working with some of the most renowned trainers and
speakers in the world. The training methods are put into a
simplified, yet powerful, programme - a proven method of imparting
information that uses an understanding of behavioural pattern,
coupled with knowledge of the human psyche. It is a training
technique that not only gives trainers the ability to train but also
inspires trainees to accept the message, retain it and make positive
use of it to achieve the results they desire.
Training is ultimately ineffective if it does not inspire the
learner to apply what is being learned. This book shows you how to
integrate intellectual, emotional and physical elements to achieve
'super learning'. Among others the methods described
include:
|
Establishing
rapport through body language |
|
Techniques
of effective communication including logical presentation,
mental simulation and subliminal influencing |
|
helping
trainees to learn by creating a relaxed mood. |

Ming
Court Crisis: A Close and Intimate Knowledge of the Crisis Behind
the Scene
Author: Alli Kawi
First Published: 2010
ISBN: 978-983-72-0636-6
Price: RM 22.50 (US$ 7.00)
MING COURT
was the name of one of the luxury hotels in Kuala Lumpur. In March
1987, the very well camouflaged plot to topple Datuk Abdul Taib
Mahmud, the Chief Minister of Sarawak unfolded and MING Court became
the venue where 28 Assemblymen from Sarawak were accommodated and
Room 707 of the hotel was turned into their operation room.
The author was directly involved in this crisis and had intimate
knowledge of what had taken place behind the scene. It was not a 'sandiwara'
(play acting) as most people were made to believe. It was a real
political quarrel between Tun Abdul Rahman Yaakub, the former Tuan
Yang Terutama (Head of State) Sarawak, and Datuk Abdul Taib Mahmud,
the Chief Minister of Sarawak.
