<p><strong>Joseph Mortati</strong>, Adjunct Professor, Information Systems and Operations Management just had a book published, <strong><em>&#8220;Collision Course &#8211; How Good Business Decisions Sank the Titanic and Why.&#8221;</em>  </strong><em></em></p>
<p>What if you found out most of what you&#8217;ve been told about why this ship was lost is not true? What if using a different perspective, you were able to see that that far from being the classic case study of pride, greed, and shortsightedness that led to reckless risk-taking, that Titanic&#8217;s designers, owners, and operators made a set of very rational strategic choices? In fact it&#8217;s likely you are making the very same ones in your own business to stay competitive.</p>
<p>Providing both a revealing case history for businesspeople and students and new insights for historians and scholars, this book takes you on a fascinating journey into the real story &#8211; the business story &#8211; behind the most famous ship in history. In doing so, you will learn how to assess risk &#8211; even when it appears each individual decision is a good one.<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';color: black"> </span></p>
