Kmart's Ten Deadly Sins: How Rogue Managers Ruined an American Icon by Marcia Layton Turner, ISBN 0471435937
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.

The Syntax of Noun Phrases: Configuration, Parameters, and Empty Categories by Alessandra Giorgi, ISBN 0521379024
Alessandra Giorgi and Giuseppe Longobardi's important study of the argument structure of lexical projections, in particular of Noun Phrases, makes substantial advances in this relatively neglected area. Working within a Government and Binding framework, the authors present strong new arguments in favour of the existence of empty categories, and evidence for the correct understanding of word-order parameters and of Chomsky's Projection Principle.
