This book was released on 2007. Trailblazers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The authors, who represent Empowerdex (Economic Empowerment Rating Agency), have interviewed many of the top black leaders, executives and managers, for rare insight into their lives and achievements. Where did they get their first jobs? What personal philosophies motivate them? Trailblazers is focused on the recent history of black business in South Africa and the secrets of the pioneers who made it, while also giving indications for further changes stemming from research and politics. The personal vision of those currently in power will shape the future of business, and the authors trust that their research and debate will inspire more young business people, whose talents are so badly needed to increase South Africa's prosperity. Empowerdex has identified the need for a new breed of business leadership in South Africa, one more involved with day-to-day decision-making. The authors discuss the context Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) has created for powerful black business people, and give voice to the pioneers who can offer advice and vision to inspire younger aspiring executives. Their research shows the relationship between politics, business and the South African economy, as well as the facts and figures behind these powerful people and their companies. Trailblazers offers insight and knowledge of the current business environment and its potential.

Download and read online ebook The Breaks of the Game write by David Halberstam. This book was released on 2012-07-17. The Breaks of the Game available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A New York Times bestseller, David Halberstam's The Breaks of the Game focuses on one grim season (1979-80) in the life of the Bill Walton-led Portland Trail Blazers, a team that only three years before had been NBA champions. More than six years after his death David Halberstam remains one of this country's most respected journalists and revered authorities on American life and history in the years since WWII. A Pulitzer Prize-winner for his groundbreaking reporting on the Vietnam War, Halberstam wrote more than 20 books, almost all of them bestsellers. His work has stood the test of time and has become the standard by which all journalists measure themselves. The tactile authenticity of Halberstam's knowledge of the basketball world is unrivaled. Yet he is writing here about far more than just basketball. This is a story about a place in our society where power, money, and talent collide and sometimes corrupt, a place where both national obsessions and naked greed are exposed. It's about the influence of big media, the fans and the hype they subsist on, the clash of ethics, the terrible physical demands of modern sports (from drugs to body size), the unreal salaries, the conflicts of race and class, and the consequences of sport converted into mass entertainment and athletes transformed into superstars -- all presented in a way that puts the reader in the room and on the court, and The Breaks of the Game in a league of its own.
