  In May 1998, a stunning $36 billion merger was announced by Chrysler, the all-American automaker, and Daimler-Benz, the German manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz luxury sedans. This corporate marriage promised to rock the global auto industry, but when the dust settled, Daimler had bought Chrysler, and an American icon had lost its independence. Taken for a Ride follows the twists and turns on the road to DaimlerChrysler and is a cautionary tale of the risks and rewards of going global.  “A book in the manner of Barbarians at the Gate-a spellbinding tale, juicy gossip and all, of how business is really done among the world’s top companies…full of fresh facts and insights on one of the most heavily covered business stories of the 1990s…it is as fun to read as it is informative.”-New York Times Book Review

  Your organization has made the decision to adopt automation and artificial intelligence technologies. Now, you face difficult and stubborn questions about how to implement that decision: How, when, and where should we apply automation in our organization? Is it a stark choice between humans versus machines? How do we stay on top of these technological trends as work and automation continue to evolve?Work and human capital experts Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau present leaders with a new set of tools to answer these daunting questions. Transcending the endless debate about humans being replaced by machines, Jesuthasan and Boudreau show how smart leaders instead are optimizing human-automation combinations that are not only more efficient but also generate higher returns on improved performance.Based on groundbreaking primary research, Reinventing Jobs provides an original, structured approach of four distinct steps—deconstruct, optimize, automate, and reconfigure—to help leaders reinvent how work gets bundled into jobs and create optimal human-machine combinations. Jesuthasan and Boudreau show leaders how to continuously reexamine what a job really is, and they provide the tools for identifying the pivotal performance value of tasks within jobs and how these tasks should be reconstructed into new, more optimal combinations.

  When you sit down to interview with a prospective employer that you are sincerely interested in working for, there are probably more than a hundred different things running through your mind at one time, which can make you anxious and cause you to walk into the interview unprepared. However, if you can focus yourself on the most important facets of the employment interview, then you will be able to relax yourself better and to be more in control of the message that you are sending to the prospective employer.
  
  Many people find it helpful to know exactly what they should not do in the interview, as this helps people develop a good idea of what they should do in the interview. Job interview mistakes can easily be avoided, and many of the same mistakes cause a large number of the job force to fail in their job interviews on a consistent basis. By avoiding these truly lethal job interview mistakes, you will be able to show prospective employers that you are the right candidate for the job that you are applying for.
  
  There are critical mistakes that people make during their job interviews. By avoiding these critical mistakes, you can launch yourself forward, proving that you are the right candidate for the job rather than making a fatal mistake that will cost you the job of your dreams.
