Jim Collins是我喜歡的商管作者﹐初次接觸他的著作時﹐改變我對一般商管書藉多流於吹水的負面印像。他的前作有Good to Great和Built to Last﹐均是重量級經典商管書藉。他在書中用科學方法﹐分析企業如何從同業中脫穎而出和在競爭劇烈的環境中歷久不衰。這次的新書How… [...] This is the classic paper on work and schedule.

Peter Drucker是上世紀最具影響力的管理大師﹐他撰寫的管理理論影響一整代企業文化。這本書從他生前的著作中﹐輯錄了二十六篇文章﹐總結他管理學的智慧。有別於市場上一般的商管書藉﹐這本書沒有多餘的水份﹐每篇文章的內容充實到題。若以智識含金量計算﹐每篇文章的主題也可以獨立成書。可能Drucker讀哲學出身﹐在研究管理學前當哲學教授的關係﹐這本書很強調管理學的理論性。若果以為管理學只是吹水學﹐不過把常識包裝起來的學問﹐這本書則從最基本的慨念出發﹐解釋為什麼那些常識之所以為常識﹐而不是隨便任何東西也能成為常識。… [...] This is the third speech in the humorously speaking manual.

無線劇集一向垃圾﹐無線的古裝劇更是垃圾中的垃圾。想不到垃圾堆中藏珍珠﹐《巾幗梟雄》竟然讓我每晚追看。或許無線自己也感到意外﹐這套劇沒有豪華的明星陣容﹐起用兩個萬年綠葉當主角﹐在贏得收視之餘還贏盡口碑。或許無線對這套小成本製作從來沒有什麼期望﹐不怕冒險放手讓編劇發揮創作自由﹐寫出一個有別於給師奶看婆媽劇的劇本。看《巾幗梟雄》就如劇中柴九的金句一樣﹐只能用痛快二字來形容。… [...] Today we have our department quarterly update.
