Integrated Management Associates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Integrated Management Associates is a publisher of books and articles from various writers, almost all concerning the philosophy of Neo-Tech. The company has published under a few Fictitious Business Names including Black & White Publishing, Neo-Tech Publishing, and Nouveau Tech Society. Integrated Management Associates was founded in 1968. The company is owned by Wallace Ward, Ph.D. (pen name Dr. Frank R. Wallace). Authors have included Dr. Frank Wallace (originator of Neo-Tech), Mark Hamilton, Eric Savage, Drew Ellis, Matt Keys, Brett Peters, Neil Lock,and voluntaryist Carl Watner. Philosopher Yasuhiko Kimura (pen name Ray Kotobuki) is not an author under contract with Integrated Management Associates . His philosophies are fundamentally contradictory to Neo-Tech's tenets.

The company has recently been doing business in association with the names "Novus-Tek, Nova-Tech, Nuova-Tech, and the Nouveau-Tech Society." These are purported to be "newly-forming Illuminati Societies" based in Neo-Tech.

The company claims to be the first publishers to make all its publications available for free on the internet, though many of these publications are no longer online.

[edit] Criticisms

Some individuals have filed complaints against the company, to the Bad Business Bureau as well as the Better Business Bureau. The complaints posted to the Bad Business Bureau mostly claim that the company engages in false advertising.

Also, the company claimed in 2006 to have a "35-year record of satisfactorily resolving every customer question"[1]; however, it has also been claimed that the Better Business Bureau "solicits money from the very businesses they monitor" and is really a "fox guarding the hen house".[2] In addition, even the Better Business Bureau's web site itself says that "This company has been a member of this Better Business Bureau since May 1992" and its original business start date was May 1990,[3] which would seem to be less than 35 years before NTP's 2006 claim of a "35-year record" with the BBB.
