Product Description
Enterprise content management (ECM) is a set of technologies used to capture, store, preserve and deliver content and documents and content related to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization’s unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
This book covers all the basics on ECM, a new term that is intended to completely encompass the legacy problem domains that have traditionally been addressed by records management and document management. It also includes all of the additional problems involved in converting to and from digital content, to and from the traditional media of those problem domains (such as physical and computerized filing and retrieval systems, often involving paper and microforms). Finally ECM is a new problem domain in its own right, as it has employed the technologies and strategies of (digital) content management to address business process issues, such as records and auditing, knowledge sharing, personalization and standardization of content, and so on.
This is an excellent book on ECM. It’s easy to read, the content is solid, useful and instantly applicable.

Product Description
Digital rights management (DRM) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution – and perhaps more importantly, to disable illegal distribution – of paid content over the Web. DRM technologies are being developed as a means of protection against the online piracy of commercially marketed material, which has proliferated through the widespread use of Napster and other peer-to-peer file exchange programs.
With the flourish of these file exchange programs, content owners, creators and producers need to have a plan to distribute their content digitally and protect it at the same time-a seemingly impossible task. There are numerous books dealing with copyright, eBusiness, the Internet, privacy, security, content management, and related technical subjects. Additionally, there are several research papers, and almost daily newspaper and magazine articles dealing with digital piracy. However, there are only a few books and documents that bring these together as a basis for profitable exchange of digital content. Digital Rights Management can help content providers make money by unifying the confusing array of concepts that swirl around current presentations of DRM in newspapers and business publications.
* Learn from an award winning author and Emmy nominee
* Perfect for the non-technical decision maker, content owner or DRM implementation manager
* Details all the options from legal to technical

Product Description
MANAGEMENT 3rd Edition, by Gomez-Mejia, Balkin, and Cardy, is an exciting new take on principles of management. Ask your incoming students what “management” is, and they’ll talk about the kind of management they know from their own work experience. Managers assign people their hours, they give raises or promotions, they tell people what job to do-the manager, in other words, is “the boss”. In most other work settings, however, management means something far more important and complex. In addition to people, managers also manage performance, processes, relationships, and more increasingly in today’s world, deal with the pressure and flux of constant change. This, coupled with the fact that workplaces have steadily become less hierarchical and more team- and group-driven, means the traditional responsibilities of the manager have gradually been dispersed throughout the organization. Students preparing to work in today’s business environment may not start in a corner office with an assistant, but they still need to think like managers and understand the strategic goals of the organization.
Management 3rd Edition, prepares your students to join a new kind of workplace, one where management is everyone’s business and provides many in-text and online applications to emphasize this approach.
