Johnson offers tips on finding opportunities for change and attracting others to your cause, but her book isn't primarily a step-by-step manual. Instead, along with useful charts and sample questions, she offers inspiring stories and profiles of innovators to show how to cultivate a "Wave Maker" mind-set. getAbstract recommends her invitation to be a change maker to start-up entrepreneurs, problem solvers and leaders who want to cultivate organizational change.

Now it's a strategic edge. Procurement – once known merely as "purchasing" or "supply" – used to be a business backwater with no prestige. Today, procurement is increasingly important as a strategic differentiator. The way procurement executives plan, organize and manage your supply chain is the "only source of sustainable competitive advantage remaining today." This collection of informed essays by supply-chain experts Carlos Mena, Remko van Hoek, Martin Christopher and others details the current best practices in this crucial area. getAbstract recommends this anthology as an indispensable minicourse on corporate procurement and its likely future direction.
