News that discount giant Kmart was filing for bankruptcy in early 2002 sent shockwaves through the retail community. How could a brand as widely recognized and firmly fixed in our cultural lexicon be teetering on the brink of extinction? Depending on who you talk to, Kmart’ s fall from grace can be attributed to any number of factors. In the first in-depth examination of Kmart, author Marcia Layton Turner reveals the real reason behind Kmart’ s troubles– bad management– and discusses how the large personalities and even larger dreams of Kmart’ s misguided leaders played a significant role in transforming this once profitable retail titan into a bankrupt behemoth.

Even though Kmart has emerged from bankruptcy, the truth is that the company has made a number of bad decisions throughout its forty-year history– some seemed like good decisions at the time, while others were obviously off base. But what really hurt Kmart is the fact that most of these decisions were made by rogue managers who shirked their duty to shareholders and company.

Kmart’ s Ten Deadly Sins spins an intriguing tale of the missteps and miscalculations of a retail giant which once had the industry in the palm of its hand, and foolishly let it all slip away. Interviews with financial analysts, former employees, and industry observers, coupled with in-depth research of SEC filings, news reports, and background data, paints a clear picture of exactly how Kmart management’ s thinking emerged as well as what went on behind the scenes– and why.

Weaving corporate history with financial analysis and expert commentary, this engaging book identifies and examines the tenmanagement mistakes, which ultimately brought Kmart to its knees.

Le Mans (Widescreen)

Steve McQueen, himself a championship racer, did most of his own driving on the harrowing 81/2 mile Le Mans course - often at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour. Forty-five international racing stars join Steve Mcqueen in this gritty, nerve-shattering recreation of the toughest car race on earth - Le Mans. Returning to France to compete a year after he's been injured, an American driver (McQueen) finds himself drawn to the widow of a racer who was killed in the same accident. Filmed on location in France, the film's spellbinding cinematography provides a dazzling look at the world's most extraordinary cars and the unique personalities of the people drawn to the race car circuit.

Computers and the Environment: Understanding and Managing Their Impacts

Personal computers have made life convenient in many ways, but what about their impacts on the environment due to production, use and disposal? Manufacturing computers requires prodigious quantities of fossil fuels, toxic chemicals and water. Rapid improvements in performance mean we often buy a new machine every 1-3 years, which adds up to mountains of waste computers. How should societies respond to manage these environmental impacts?
