Hardback. Condition: Good. Remember the good old days, when it was easy to predict the business future? All you had to do was forecast market trends, plot customer needs, scout new technologies, and plumb spreadsheets -- and success was certain. Now, all bets are off. Old strategies are beat. Old boundaries are gone. Customer loyalties are dead. The world has shrunk. It's not just the increase in the rate of change; we all know markets are moving faster -- it's the magnitude of the increase that is making the future completely unpredictable.But as Michael Fradette and Steve Michaud remind us in The Power of Corporate Kinetics, you can't predict the future, but you can be ready for whatever it may bring. Enter the kinetic enterprise, ravenous for information, equipped with a hair-trigger response, ready to attack every opportunity, constantly evolving to meet the unpredictable future, and fully equipped to capitalize on the turbulence that confuses competitors.The foundation of kinetics is a new work culture and a new employee. In a kinetic enterprise, executives and front-line staff work hand in hand to respond to shifting customer and market demands. They are wired to real-time information and to each other for spontaneous innovation, collaboration, and fast market action. The kinetic enterprise is designed to eliminate any barriers that prevent workers from responding flexibly and fast.These ideas aren't simply theory. They are based on the people and companies already using them. Leaders and employees from companies in a wide variety of industries -- from manufacturing to health care, from Kinko's to MTV to John Deere -- share their experiences that illuminate kinetic organizations and kineticemployees. Leaders' stories will answer questions that managers ask about managing tomorrow's workforce. Employees' stories will give workers insight into how their jobs and careers might look five or ten years from today.The authors, top partners at Deloitte Consulting, have drawn on a wealth of client experience to pull together the concept of corporate kinetics. Now, in this brilliant, practical, breakthrough book, Michael Fradette and Steve Michaud show you how to win in a wired and wildly changing world. 256 pages.…

Large manuscript letters patent on parchment, signed "Louis" by King Louis XV and countersigned "Berryer" by Nicolas-René Berryer, Secretary of State for the Marine. Contemporary docket on the verso, and registration by the Conseil Souverain de la Martinique, dated 7 February 1761 and signed Bourdin. Ca. 680 × 480 mm. Original royal letters patent appointing Louis-Charles Le Vassor de La Touche (1709-1781) Commandant général des Isles du Vent, with supreme civil and military authority over the French Windward Islands during the Seven Years' War. The commission was issued following the departure of François de Beauharnais, Governor General of the French Antilles, whom Louis XV had permitted to return to France and resume naval service. Pending a permanent appointment, La Touche received full civil and military authority over the French Windward Islands, commanding the colonial administration, armed forces, naval and merchant vessels, and empowered to take all measures necessary for their defence and preservation under royal authority. Although appointed Commandant général rather than Governor and Lieutenant General, La Touche received the same honours, powers, authority, prerogatives, rights, and emoluments attached to the governorship. This distinction reflected the Crown's policy of not appointing colonial landowners as governors: La Touche possessed estates in Martinique and was therefore granted the authority of the office without its formal title. Berryer's memorandum to the King of 18 January 1760, written one week before the present commission, recommended precisely this arrangement. (Vergé-Franceschi, 1990) Louis-Charles Le Vassor de La Touche was an experienced naval officer with long service in the Caribbean. He entered the navy in 1726, became a captain in 1751, and was appointed Inspector of the Marine Troops in 1758. His familiarity with the Antilles and his connections among the principal colonial families led Berryer to regard him as well suited to restore confidence after the British capture of Guadeloupe. Although commissioned in January 1760, he did not assume command in Martinique until 7 February 1761. He subsequently strengthened the island's fortifications, reorganised the militia, and prepared its defences against the British invasion that resulted in the conquest of Martinique in 1762. The original commission retains its contemporary docket ("Lettres Patentes pour donner le Commandement general des Isles du vent au S. La Touche Le Vassor."), the ministerial countersignature of Nicolas-René Berryer (1703-1762), Secretary of State for the Marine, and the official registration entered by the Conseil Souverain de la Martinique on 7 February 1761, signed Bourdin, upon La Touche's assumption of command. Original royal letters patent appointing the highest colonial officers of the French Antilles are exceptionally uncommon in commerce. We have not traced another such commission appearing in the antiquarian trade or at auction. Reference: Vergé-Franceschi, M. (1990).
