In this book, authors Gerald L. Kovacich and Edward P. Halibozek clearly present what global security managers should expect in this environment and provide them with the basic tools to carry out their duties. While the authors focus on corporate asset protection for both new and experienced security professionals, the book speaks even more broadly to the security field in general. Few other books map out a progressive management plan for the novice while maintaining enough new materials for experts. Concepts introduced by the authors are blended beautifully in a case study of a fictitious global corporation. Flow charts and additional case studies allow the reader to grasp ideas in context. .it would appeal to practitioners, consultants, and students alike. - Security Management

The Manager's Handbook for Corporate Security - Establishing and Managing a Successful Assets Protection Program deserves to be read by security professionals... ...four of the book's 23 chapters are in Part I and they set a context for today's security professional in the best way I've seen.

'Thought-provoking' is an often-misused term, but not here. - Derek Knights consultant, corporate security with Ontario Power Generation in Canadian Security magazine

Hi everyone,
First of all, I've received all of my orders here in Brazil in perfect shape and quicker than I thought it would be.
The book is great - an excellent manual on Security, quite complete and straightforward - and I couldn't be happier!
Thanks, Amazon!
