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. Prior to being called Integrated Management Associates, books about Neo-Tech were being sold under the company name I & O Publishing, which was founded in 1968.[1] The company was 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, voluntaryist Carl Watner, philosopher Yasuhiko Kimura (pen name Ray Kotobuki) and Ted Nicholas.
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, and although they are no longer linked from their main website, many continue to be available online, free of charge. See external links.
[edit] Criticisms
Some individuals have filed complaints against the company, the Better Business Bureau. The BBB of Southern Nevada, where the company is located, reports on their website that Neo-Tech Publishing meets their membership standards and has a satisfactory record. [1] The Better Business Bureau's web site itself says that "Neo-Tech Publishing" "has been a member of this Better Business Bureau since May 1992" and its original business start date was May 1990, which would seem to be less than 35 years before NTP's 2006 claim of a "35-year record" with the BBB. However, prior to going by the name Neo-Tech publishing, they went under the name I & O publishing which began operations in 1968, publishing Poker: A Guaranteed Income for Life, by Using the Advanced Concepts of Poker.
