Andrea Gabor
Charismatic inventor of the Fourteen Point philosophy for quality, W. Edwards Deming took his techniques to Japan, where they were readily adopted and credited for that country's economic triumph. Here Gabor explores the development of "quality" as a management science, from the United States to Japan and back again.
Laura Hemphill
Bright, ambitious Sophie Landgraf has landed a job as a Wall Street analyst. The small-town girl finally has her ticket to the American elite, but she doesn't realize the toll it will take--on her boyfriend, on her family, and on her. It isn't long before Sophie is floundering in this male-dominated world, and things are about to get worse. With the financial crisis looming, Sophie becomes embroiled in a multibillion-dollar merger that could make or break her career. The problem? Three men at the top of their game, each with very different reasons for advancing the merger. Now Sophie doesn't know whom to trust--or how far she'll go to get ahead.
