Gregory L. Vistica
The Education of Lieutenant Kerrey

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comBob Kerrey has been many things in his long and successful career: Navy SEAL, Medal of Honor winner, millionaire businessman, governor of Nebraska, U.S. Senator, and presidential candidate. But is he also a war criminal? This is the disturbing question at the center of Gregory Vistica`s absorbing book, based on over four years of research, including much time spent with Kerrey himself. The issue in question is a dark secret that remained buried for nearly 30 years: in February, 1969, LieutenantKerrey led a small group of SEALs on a raid in which 21 unarmed women and children were killed. The official version was that it was an unfortunate accident and that the SEALs were defending themselves against enemy fire. As Vistica began to dig, however, a remarkably different account surfaced--a version corroborated by one of the men involved in the raid, as well as by two Vietnamese eyewitnesses. Vistica does an excellent job of presenting the psychological harm Kerrey suffered… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Madeline Brewster practically owns Plum City, Colorado. But at thirty-two, she knows she has missed any chance for happiness. Until she finds a tall, strong, handsome Irishman on the wrong end of the hangman`s noose. Suddenly this unconventional woman comes up with an outrageous idea…Teague O`Neal has rugged cheekbones, tousled black curls, and eyes as blue as the sky, even if he is caked in Colorado mud. The men insist they caught him horse-thieving, and there`s something desperate about him that says he`d do anything for a buck. Maybe it was pure chance, or maybe it was something more that brough Madeline and Teague together. But one thing`s clear, between a woman who has just about everything she could ever want, and a man who`s lost that and more, they might find something in between worth living for. [detailed...]

The Effect of Advertising and Display : Assessing The Evidence

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHow does advertising work? Research findings on the effects of advertising are assembled and critically reviewed in this clearly written book, which is designed for both advanced students and practitioners. Robert East presents evidence on successful advertising campaigns where the brand benefits from more sales and higher prices, and he describes how good advertising can sometimes reduce the cost of doing business. The question of repeated exposure is examined: do sales initially gather pace with additional ad exposures, or do the gains get less and less after the first exposure? New evidence on this issue is assessed. The focus then moves to a model of ad response that covers the evidence on repeated ad exposure and explains howadvertising may work over both short-term and long-term periods. The processes that could produce the long-term effect are discussed and new evidence is presented on the function of word of mouth. There is a chapter on the… [detailed...]

Description: As a manager, your job is adding value to your organization. But business value is much more than the product you sell or the service you offer, it is built upon the relationship you nurture with your clients. Traditional methods of measuring business value have focused on cost and efficiency but can information technology be designed to offer a different vision of reality? Lee Schlenker and Alan Matcham have devised the `Business Value Matrix`, a unique tool that will help you focus on factors other than time and money, on the quality of interaction rather than the quantity of transactions, and on human motivation and innovation as the primary source of sustainable competitive advantage. Drawing on the authors` own experiences of business success and failure, `The Effective Organization` provides inspiration and guidance for everyone searching for the means to add measurable value to both their career and their organization.

The Effects of Competition: Cartel Policy and the Evolution of Strategy and Structure in British Industry

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Policies to promote competition are high on the political agenda worldwide. But in a constantly changing marketplace, the effects of more intense competition on firm conduct, market structure, and industry performance are often hard to distinguish. This study combines game-theoretic models with empirical evidence from a `natural experiment` of policy reform. The introduction in the United Kingdom of the 1956 Restrictive Trade Practices Act led to the registration and subsequent abolition of explicit restrictive agreements between firms and the intensification of price competition across a range of manufacturing industries. An equally large number of industries were not affected by the legislation. Using data from before and after the 1956 act, this book compares the two groups of industries to determine the effect of price competition on concentration, firm and plant numbers, profitability, advertising intensity, and innovation. The book avoids two problems common to… [detailed...]
