Frugal Yachting: Family Adventuring in Small Sailboats by Larry Brown

The first part of the book provides suggestions for the commencement of an instant and drastic technological change. The proposal follows the multi-step process redesign for technological change suggested by the literature (Davenport - Short, 1990), taking into account the circumstances that led to the formation of the problems and the interest of the people involved in the technological change. People to be involved in the technological change have successfully been assigned appropriate roles, which has proven highly useful in designing the necessary steps of the solution. Compromise has played an important role in the outcome, because it ensures that the changes gain support from all sides. The second part of the proposal for resolving the problem, subsection 4.2, offers a solution that would ensure the non-recurrence of the problem in the future, and that it would eliminate the lack of communication within the company through formalised compulsory communication. The basic idea behind the two suggestions are completely different, however, during elaboration it became evident that the reorganisation of the company structure to a matrix structure and the BPR process overlap.

Brown, Larry: - Larry Brown was born in Lafayette County, Mississippi, where he lived all his life. At the age of thirty, a captain in the Oxford Fire Department, he decided to become a writer and worked toward that goal for seven years before publishing his first book, Facing the Music, a collection of stories, in 1988. With the publication of his first novel, Dirty Work, he quit the fire station in order to write full time. (The nonfiction book On Fire tells the story of his many years as a firefighter.) Between then and his untimely death in 2004, he published seven more books. He was awarded the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters award for fiction and was the first two-time winner of the Southern Book Award for Fiction, which he won in 1992 for Joe, and again in 1997 for Father and Son. He was the recipient of a Lila Wallace-Readers Digest Award and Mississippi's Governor's Award For Excellence in the Arts. The story Big Bad Love became the basis for a feature film, as did his novel Joe.
