Raves for The Murdoch Mission "Wendy Goldman Rohms exciting new book sheds light on one of the worlds most powerful, yet enigmatic figures Rupert Murdoch. Given unparalleled access to Murdoch and his sprawling media empire, Rohm has drawn a detailed portrait of the man who single-handedly created one of the largest media companies on the planet. Its an epic story not to be missed." Eric Nee, Senior Writer, Fortune magazine "Wendy Goldman Rohm has written a fascinating account of how Rupert Murdochs News Corp. is fighting the battle for access to the worlds audiences and advertisers. The Murdoch Mission is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the people and forces shaping the future of the global media and entertainment business." Michael J. Wolf, Senior Partner & Director, McKinsey & Company "Presenting the man behind the media mogul, The Murdoch Mission aims to dispel much of the mythology about Rupert Murdoch. Author Wendy Goldman Rohm has been given rare access to the man himself, the Murdoch family dynasty, and the top executives who make up his inner sanctum. The Murdoch Mission gives an insight into the driving force behind Murdochs global media ambitions for the new millennium and looks at his high- risk strategies in several world markets." Eve Conway, Producer/Reporter, BBC News "A compelling book that takes the reader deep inside Rupert Murdochs empire, a region few have successfully explored before. Those who read this wonderful book can find out how Rupert continues to forge unorthodox paths in new media that no other media barons have yet had the stamina to explore, never mind weather the risks involved. Author Rohm has managed to get in-depth accessto the mogul as well as his sons and top executives, a rare accomplishment for any journalist. The Murdoch Mission provides a unique look at a man and an empire at their maturity and at the turning point of digital media in a new century.

The Internet, and all the netcentric innovations that emerge from it, have transformed the workplace and our working lives in a very short time. The net added a window to the world on worker's desks, and made 24 by 7 connectivity to the workplace a reality--blurring the line between work and time off. It triggered new styles of teamwork, new leadership challenges, new modes of communicating, new job roles and employer-employee relationships, and new, alarmingly effective tools for workplace surveillance. The capabilties offered by netcentric technologies might seem to eliminate completely the need for a physical workplace, but the workplace remains, partly because the virtual, and in fact, the physical appearance of a typical office looks about the same. Nevertheless, the psychological characteristics of the workplace have changed considerably. Workers, from the mail room clerk to the CEO, are learning new skills--to employ on the net's power but avoid the egregious blunders that the net so dramatically amplifies. In The Internet in the Workplace, Patricia Wallace demonstrates how netcentric technologies touch every kind of workplace, and explores the challenges and dilemmas they create. Patricia Wallace is Director, Information Technology and Distance Programs at the Center for Talented Youth, Johns Hopkins University. Wallace's background and career span the disciplines of information technology, psychology, education, and business. Her recent book, The Psychology of the Internet (Cambridge, 1999) has been translated into nine languages. Wallace's work has been featured often in the media, including MSNBC, CNN, ABC News, the BBC, NPR, USA Today, and the Washington Post.
