Paperback. Condizione: Good. Be it a wrong turn, a bad relationship, a debilitating illness or a war, every action creates a reaction, every move is followed by another move. How do we get out of what we've gotten ourselves into? Granta 118 zooms in close on the phenomenon of the exit strategy. In a new story, Alice Munro writes of an elderly woman whose attempts to care for her husband are undermined by her own deteriorating thought processes; Claire Messud searches for her father's past in Beirut, Lebanon as he lays dying in a hospital in the US; and Aleksandar Hemon remembers the importance of smuggling his family's dog out of war-torn Sarajevo. Exit Strategies also features new writing by John Barth, Gish Jen, Ann Beattie, and newcomer Chinelo Okparanta - examining how we get ourselves out and the repercussions that follow. Hindsight is 20/20, but it's what we do moving forward that defines us and - in the best of all worlds - redeems us.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Most executives believe that winning and keeping customers requires offering something unique. But as physical products are seen as increasingly hard to differentiate, companies resort to branding, gimmicks, and "thinking outside the box." Meanwhile, customers are less satisfied than they were a decade ago. Patrick Barwise and Sean Meehan argue that most companies have taken differentiation so far that they've left their customers behind. Customers don't want bells and whistles and don't care about trivial differences between brands. What they really want are quality products, reliable services, and fair value for money. Yet most companies consistently fail to meet these basic customer needs. Simply Better is a no-nonsense, back-to-basics manifesto for today's businesses. Barwise and Meehan argue that successful differentiation lies not in unique selling propositions, but in generic category benefits, such as good service, on-time delivery, and quality products, that any company can provide. The key is to deliver these consistently better than competitors. Illustrating this customer-focused differentiation through vivid examples of companies, including Toyota, P&G, Hilti, Tesco, and Ryanair, Simply Better outlines an actionable framework managers can use to: * Understand what customers really value and why they buy the brands they do * Discover basic, unmet needs ripe for reliable solutions * Channel customer dissatisfaction into performance improvements * Balance in-the-box thinking in strategy and innovation with out-of-the-box thinking in advertising and communications * Create a learning culture that continuously responds to changing customer needs While being unique might be exciting and appealing, it doesn't drive business success. Simply Better shows how meeting and exceeding the most ordinary of customer expectations can lead to extraordinary--and lasting--rewards.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In this book Patrick Nix talks about the greatest hero of all time. I thought I knew King David's story pretty well. Man, was I in for a surprise I never realized how many lessons David learned from his father, Jesse. After reading this book, you and your son will look at life quite differently. Among other things, your son will have more confidence, courage, and faith to face the future. Why wait? The game clock is ticking. Start reading -Pat Williams, senior vice president of the NBA Orlando Magic What football fan would be happy if all he knew about a football season was this headline: 'Auburn Wins National Championship'? Indeed, fans want the whole story: How it happened, who made it possible, and why things turned out as they did. What about this headline: 'David Defeats Goliath'? Wouldn't it be great to know the back story behind that historic battle? Coach Nix provides the inside story - while uncovering helpful insights into how to become a godly father. -Dave Branon, award-winning sports writer Using frequent sports analogies that dads can easily relate to, Coach Nix offers profound insights into how 21st century fathers can raise their sons to be world changers like the biblical King David. This is a must-read for all dads -Les Steckel, veteran NFL coach and President of Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coach Nix has hit the nail on the head for dads. David, through the example of his dad Jesse, was inspired to become a warrior for the Lord. Their legacy now coaches us to live a life worthy of Jesus Christ standing up and cheering the life we have led for His glory. -Dave Johnson, Olympic Bronze Medalist and Corban University's Director of Athletics No person is free to prosper until he receives the blessing of his father. David was far from a perfect man, but his blessing still was pivotal in the lives of his children. That's why he appears in the linage of our Lord. It is so great to see Coach Nix drive home the indispensable need for a father's blessing. -Bill Glass, President, Bill Glass Champions For Today My verdict? Every man in America should read this book. It's written by a man's man - someone who understands the arena of big-time college sports and coaching today's young men. Simply put, if a Florida Gator recommends a book by an Auburn Tiger Quarterback, you know it must be inspiring -Jay Strack, President, Student Leadership University I believe sports mirrors the Christian life. In this book Patrick Nix succeeds in giving us a coach's perspective on one of the Bible's greatest stories. I know Patrick is passionate about preparing his players to win. So, get ready to be coached up on the fundamentals of faith, family, and finishing strong at home -Roman Gabriel III, Radio Host and President of Sold Out Ministries Using the classic David and Goliath story, Patrick Nix has taken one of the most pressing issues of our time, fatherhood, and created a modern-day masterpiece. In a class of its own, here is a book full of life lessons that no father can afford to miss out on. -Chris Spicer, author of No Perfect Fathers Here I cannot visualize a greater investment of my life than to raise up others with a 'heart for God.'
