From total happiness to total loss is a hard journey and one Neil is not sure he will ever get over. Brought back into action because of the real threat of the old allies waging war. He needs to act as an assassin. Not a role he is comfortable playing. Spies, drug cartel overlords, and power-hungry politicians. It is not possible, or is it? Will he take this last job? Can a man brought down by grief and loss rise again to save the world in the worst scenario anyone can imagine? Does life go on, or will this be one job too many, simply because he has no reason to survive anymore?
The Russians want revenge on the UK for the British stance on their thwarted invasion of Europe and Colonel Neil Olaf for his work as the Honest Broker. Can the Russians achieve this when Neil has married and retired? An attack on the Royal Household may bring him back into the game! Is the final part of the series of Old Habits Die Hard? Neil will have to come out of retirement, but what are the chances of his success? Will it be a walk around the park or something much more sinister? Bombs, babies, deception, who is out manoeuvring whom. Travel to Mexico, Paris, New York, Germany, Wales and, of course, London. Finally, will his wife do anything and betray him to get back to their baby? The only way to answer these questions is to read the story and find out if this is Neil’s last escapade.
Measurement of intangible benefits is a major problem for governments, commercial organizations, academics, and professionals involved in such disciplines as accountancy and economics. But it doesn't have to be difficult. Measuring Intangible Value brings clarity and understanding to this complex issue. Utilizing more than seven years of research into the concept of intangible value measurement, David I.W. Taylor attempts to bring two theories of intangible measurement together through the application of a redefined concept of value. These two theories include Michael Porter's value chain research and Thomas Saaty's structured decision-making method, analytical hierarchic process, and analytical network process. This study also develops the use of Porter's value chain theory to develop a process by which value can be categorized and then measured, and also considers identification of intangible benefits through categorization. These categories are then formulated as to the least amount of groupings necessary to assist in the options appraisal of project outcomes through the quantification of structured decision-making. Measuring Intangible Value brilliantly forges a relationship between academic theories to create a practical business model perfect for those in any type of organization!
