Article Abstract:

In the selection process for naming the six recipients of 'Office of the year' awards, the Editorial Board of Office Administration and Automation uses several criteria.

Article Abstract:

The forces leading the world towards a nuclear catastrophe are compared to the momentum of a huge ship at sea.

In his book 'The Trimtab Factor', Harold Willens offers a plan whereby business executives can exert that leverage on world powers to support a sane program for reducing nuclear weapons.
