The only guide to understanding and making the most of one of the hottest trends in branding today Nothing builds brand loyalty among today's increasingly skeptical, hard-to-please consumers like a proven commitment to a worthy cause on the part of a company. Known as Cause Related Marketing (CRM), this approach to branding has gained a great deal of momentum over the past decade, thanks, in no small part, to such recent, notable examples as McDonald's commitment to saving the rain forests and BMW's breast cancer fund-raising initiatives. Now, in the first book to explore the business benefits of CRM and its positive and negative impacts on business strategy, two experts explain the concept and fundamental principles of CRM and its place within the contemporary discourse on branding. And, with the help of numerous, fascinating, and instructive case studies, they demonstrate how marketers can harness the power of CRM to position and enhance customer loyalty to a brand, product, or service.

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. What if certain Japanese investors in 1989 had a book that prepared them for the economic DEFLATION and 12-year bear market? Likewise, what if certain American investors in 1929 had a book that prepared them for the stock market CRASH and Great Depression? They would have used the forecast to avoid the crisis, of course - perhaps even to come out ahead. Robert Prechter has just published a book that will prepare YOU for a financial crisis at least as deep as Japan in the 1990s or the U.S. in the 1930s - a deflationary depression that will wipe out the portfolios of most stock market investors. Conquer the Crash first presents the economic facts that show why a massive deflation is virtually inevitable, and is underway already. The second part is practical - virtually each of the 21 chapter titles explains "How To," "What To," and "Should You." Learn for yourself why the most predictable episode in our financial future is the event no one expects "Bob Prechter's new book, Conquer the Crash, provides a wealth of self help do's and don'ts. It's a must-read book which I'm personally putting on my gift list for friends and loved ones." - Martin D Weiss, Ph.D., author of the national best seller, the Ultimate Safe Money Guide "This is the most crucial financial period in your life. This book explains why. It also tells you what you should do about it. If you want to preserve your wealth, I urge you to follow Prechter's advice. You will be grateful that you did." - Ian Gordon, The Long Wave Analyst "Conquer the Crash provides disciplined investors with a map, compass and survival guide. Don't leave home without it." -Henry Van der Eb, President, Gabelli Mathers Fund "Prechter knows the facts like few others. Read his forceful argument carefully. It can save you from financial loss." -James R. Cook, President, Investment Rarities "Conquer the Crash ensures that at least some investors will stay on the "rational" side of a very emotional future." -Ted Workman, Asset Allocation Consultants, Ltd.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This text is a bridge across what sometimes seems a divide between "hard" and "soft" OR/MS. It demonstrates that the views which are often characterized as "hard" and "soft" OR/MS are not really in opposition to one another but are addressing different types of issue. It explores the development and use of explicit models in management science. It discusses the way in which models are built and the way in which they should be used. The emphasis is on modelling rather than mathematics, though some familiarity with algebra and statistical ideas will be expected of the reader. It is careful to pace management science within a framework which is defensible in the face of attacks on rational methods in business. It argues for their relevance alongside other aspects of management such as intuition, vision and leadership. The book has been read but remains in clean condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. The aim of this book is to give practical information to child-care professionals, both medical and non-medical, who may in one way or another be involved in the treatment and management of soiling children. The book is based on 6 years of doctoral research by the author, involving a pilot study of children who soiled, a research study of soiling children, as well as post-doctoral involvement with other children and their families with soiling problems. This book is written in collaboration with Dr Graham Clayden, Honorary Consultant Paediatrician at St Thomas's Hospital in London. Dr Clayden advised the author during the original study. They have since been involved in joint work with soiling children and their families. The author's original research project involved 66 soiling children. This included a study of soiling children treatment by a local paediatric department, and further study of soiling children treated by a traditional child psychiatric clinic, and finally a study of soiling children treated by an experimental "whole child" approach which sought to incorporate treatment of the psychological, physical and social aspects of the problem. The author, a behaviourally trained social worker, was the key therapist, working under medical supervision. The research validated the benefits of an integrated "whole child" approach for soiling problems. The book is designed both for the busy professional, who wants in the shortest possible time, to assimilate the essentials of the "whole child" approach for assessing and treating the soiling child, as well as for those practitioners who require a more comprehensive research resume. To meet the differing needs of readers, the book is therefore in 4 parts. Part 1 includes an extensive review of international literature on the subject, covering both causation theories and treatment studies. Part 2 is the practical part of the book; how to assess the "whole child" and his family, and the treatment and management of the problem, using the "whole-child" approach. Part 2 stands on its own and will give the busy professional the basic information he needs to help a soiling child and his family. For those who wish to know more, Part 3 takes a wider look at the associated problems of soiling children. In this section Dr Clayden has written an important chapter on neurological disorders associated with soiling. There is also a chapter on the relationship between soiling and sexual abuse. Finally the Afterword looks at the wider implications from the research and suggests ways of setting up specific services for the soiling child.
