MARCH 21, 2003 READING LIST Larry Penley's Book Recommendations
• AVATARS OF THE WORD by James O'Donnell "- because of its classical orientation for our understanding of modern information." • THE INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA by Clayton Christensen "- because of its capability for reminding us to adopt new strategies and to organize to nurture them." • INFORMATION RULES by Carl Shapiro & Hal R. Varian "- because of its dispassionate view of the information world from an economic perspective." • MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY by Peter F. Drucker "- because anything by Drucker is still great advice on management." • THE SIGN OF JONAS by Thomas Merton "- because all managers need spiritual support and anything by Father Merton remains a vivid reminder of our struggle for the spiritual side of humankind and the struggle's importance in managing people."
