ISBN: 9781329780729 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Geopolitics of Superpower-Pa
ISBN: 9780813101811 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is Soviet-American competition all about? Is the Soviet Union a security problem that the United States must solve? Or is it an insecurity condition with which the U.S. must learn to live -- and if so, on what terms? What kind of a player is the United States in the great game of power politics? In The Geopolitics of Super Power, one of our most respected strategic theorists answers these and other questions.

Enterprise and Culture
ISBN: 9780415439589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Enterprise and Culture is a uniquely wide-ranging, insightful and well-informed critical evaluation of the economic and social project of creating an enterprise culture.

Enterprise and Culture is a uniquely wide-ranging, insightful and well-informed critical evaluation of the economic and social project of cre...

Strategy for Chaos: Revolutions in Military Affairs and the Evidence of History
ISBN: 9780714651866 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this volume, Professor Colin Gray develops and applies the theory and scholarship on the allegedly historical practice of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA), in order to improve our comprehension of how and why strategy 'works'.
The author explores the RMA hypothesis both theoretically and historically. The book argues that the conduct of an RMA has to be examined as a form of strategic behaviour, which means that, of necessity, it must "work" as strategy works. The great RMA debate of the 1990s is reviewed empathetically, though sceptically, by the author, with every major...

Enterprise and Culture
ISBN: 9780415161855 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work addresses the fundamental questions concerning the economic reinvigoration of society through policies aimed at encouraging the development of small enterprises. Governments in Europe, the rest of the industrialized world and developing countries are increasingly including small enterprise development as a central feature of economic and social policies. Nowhere was this more evident than during the 1980s in Britain, as the Conservative government sought to establish an enterprise culture. However, despite an impressive growth in the numbers of people turning to self-employment,...

ISBN: 9781312277915 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Defense planning unavoidably must be in the nature of a mystery tour. The inability to know the future is a permanent condition for defense planning, but it is one with which we must cope. This monograph by Dr. Colin S. Gray explores and examines the implications of our irreducible ignorance about the future. His purpose is to identify an approach to this critically important subject of security that leans heavily upon what we can and should know about the past and present, in order to anticipate future conditions. The monograph finds that, although the past does not repeat itself in detail,...
