Hardback. Condizione: New. A powerful and original new take on business strategy-with the customer at the center of it-designed to generate enduring competitive advantage When setting strategy, organizations typically spend too much time thinking about the competition and resources within the firm and not enough time on the customer-the soul of any organization. Such an approach is reflected in the fact that most popular theories of business strategy have focused on resource- and capability-based perspectives of the firm. Real-world businesses embracing and applying these intuitively attractive theories have struggled to compete, however, exactly because those theories fail to adequately account for the most important actor in all commercial transactions: the customer. In The Soul of Strategy, two veteran strategists and academics deliver a straightforward new approach to business strategy-one that builds and expands on the classic work of Peter Drucker-recognizing the inescapable reality, faced by every organization, that a firm's primary job is to create and keep customers. The book offers a comprehensive customer-centric strategy framework, a set of fresh perspectives and tools, and step-by-step guides to implementing the leadership styles, governance structures, and technology that companies require to outcompete their rivals in attracting and retaining customers. The book brings to life these key principles by using case studies and examples of organizations in a variety of industries. You'll find: A clear description of the concept of customer centricity and its value to the organization.A new consumer behavior framework that will enable you to ask the right questions to elicit unique, actionable customer insightsA "Customer Choice Cascade" that details how to select, prioritize, and deliver value for both customers and the firm.A balanced perspective on how to both find sources of innovation and systematically abandon activities, products, structures and systems that no longer add value to customers.The key role that customer insight data play in setting customer-centered strategy.Expansions on Drucker's proven strategic insights and ideas that go beyond well-worn frameworks like Porter's Five Forces. Perfect for managers, executives, board members, and other business leaders, The Soul of Strategy is also a can't-miss resource for strategy consultants and advisors and anyone else interested in effective new ways of thinking about difficult and long-standing strategic problems.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Sexual Outsiders: Understanding BDSM Sexualities and Communities delves into the unique experiences of individuals in BDSM communities. While misunderstandings surrounding these communities prevail, BDSM sexuality cuts across race, gender, nationality, and sexual orientation. BDSM describes forms of sexuality that incorporate restraint, pressure, sensation, training, and elements of both erotic and non-erotic power exchange between the engaged parties. Some BDSM "scenes" include role-playing, spanking, blindfolds, ropes, and erotic costuming.Sexual Outsiders is designed as a guide for BDSM community members who must wade through the quagmire of unique problems they face: coming out to family, friends and partners; distinguishing abusive relationships from healthy consensual ones; finding and developing community; overcoming shame and denial; exploring whether BDSM sexuality can be a healing tool; gaining access to quality, culturally competent psychotherapy; and finding strategies to develop a healthy sexual self-esteem in the face of current medical and social standards that view them as sick or pathological. The book also serves as an educational primer for those whose partners, friends, and family members are involved in BDSM.In terms of challenges faced by BDSM communities, the most significant is living with a stigmatized sexuality shame, prejudice, discrimination, isolation, depression, and a lack of adequate, competent mental health care. Issues such as coming out as a sexual minority, finding community and partners, and dealing with scenes and relationships that go wrong are some the common experiences shared by members of BDSM communities. Sexual Outsiders employs common sense, good humor, and vivid anecdotes while incorporating basic ideas about human behavior, psychology, philosophy, interviews, history, and clinical case studies to illustrate the real lives and experiences of men and women in BDSM communities. Anyone wanting to learn more about this unique, and more-common-than-you-think expression of sexuality, will find in these pages insight into the various challenges BDSM practitioners face, and the many strengths that people in the BDSM communities have developed in the face of social stigma and prejudice.
