A unique perspective on consumer behaviour.......2001-05-30
no book is as useful for students and practitioners of adv........1999-02-15
I enjoyed the international advertising course which Marieke gave at Universidad de Navarra in 1997. As a teacher she is very capable of communicating the importance and urgency of this diverse and complex subject: managing marketing communications and brands within the outer/ and inner spheres of market cultures. Marieke applies the 5 dimensional model of G.Hofstede to illustrate and diferentiate a clear and full colour image of cultures and values. Being dutch myself, I recognise both the theory of Hofstede, but also the paradoxes Marieke has found. Intrigueing phenomena such as Japanese business success and collectivism, such as status and success in feminine cultures etc etc are often raising eyebrows, and not seldomly at highbrow corporate levels.
Cultural understanding, I have learnt, is possible only after understanding one's own culture, and a commitment to learn about the other culture, not matching it with your own. Marieke does this very well, she places anecdotes and case-studies is an objective setting, viewing it with an uncoloured microscope. She has added theory, academic research and good practice to make this book complete.
This book, for me, is one of the few great books on international (intercultural) marketing communications (and brand management).
For students and practitioners in cross-cultural communicati.......1998-09-01
Excerpts from a review by David A. Victor in The Journal of Business Communication of July 1998:
`Marieke de Mooij has added a worthwhile contribution to the on-going discourse in cross-cultural business communication in Global marketing and Advertising: Understanding Cultural Paradoxes. The title might dissuade those in fields outside marketing from reading further, which would be unfortunate. Any of us with an interest in cross-cultural business ought to find something worthwhile in de Mooij's book. De Mooij focuses on the various paradoxes of cross-cultural marketing. She amply illustrates how "certain opposing values of one culture also exist in other cultures, but in reverse" (p. 2). De Mooij calls these "Value paradoxes" and it is here that she makes her greatest contributions. [....] Throughout her discussion of Value Paradoxes, she breaks new ground. [.....] De Mooij has laid out an extremely well-balanced approach to understanding the competing needs of marketing globally while accommodating local advertising preferences.'

Just Business: Business Ethics in Action

ASIN: 0198296630 |
Book Description
Just Business: Business Ethics in Action is a ground-breaking book, which has changed the way business ethics is considered by both the business community and philosophers. Employing a powerful, original explanatory framework, Just Business offers substansive answers to questions of business ethics, resolving key problems of personnel, finance and corporate governance. Even more significantly Just Business supplies an Ethical Decision Model which can be used to manage businesses' ethical problems whenever and wherever they arise, in all their real -life complexity and variety. By introducing conceptual clarity to business ethics, Just Business provides solid arguments for rebutting trendy but unethical demands for 'social responsibility' and 'stakeholding' in business. Just Business demonstrates that business's correct ethical concern is just. As presented in Just Business, business ethics is not an extraneous anti-business option: it is rigorous, analytical business tool. Just Business provides a systematic, jargon free argument to show that it is not necessary either to emasculate or to adulterate business for business to be moral. Combining business realism with philosophical rigour, and employing a global pespective, Just Business should be of use to all who have dealings with business, whether as employees or directors, customers or lenders, shareholders or formulators of public policy.Customer Reviews:

Special Events: Proven Strategies for Nonprofit Fundraising.......2004-02-04
It's been said that the reason so many new restaurants fail is that everybody who can boil water thinks he or she can be a successful restaurateur. A similar rule might apply to special event fund-raising - if you can pull off a successful dinner party, then maybe you figure you can plan a successful fundraising banquet. But as Alan Wendroff makes abundantly clear in the recently-released second edition of his book "Special Events: Proven Strategies for Nonprofit Fundraising," special event fundraising, to be truly successful, requires detailed planning along multiple fronts.
The centerpiece of Wendroff's hands-on approach to the topic is his Master Event Timetable, essentially a detailed 26-week task list that covers all the bases. Throughout the book, he stresses that financial success is only one of many goals to be achieved with special events, something that's easy to forget in the heat of battle. Most significantly, special events provide a convenient and comfortable opportunity to establish personal contact with current and potential stakeholders. And this book offers a host of ideas on how to capitalize on this unique opportunity to present your organization's mission and programs to a happily captive audience.
Chock full of charts, check lists and real-world examples of a variety of successful special event ideas, readers are taken from the initial step (should your group even put on a special event?) to the post-event wrap-up and evaluation. I found the chapters dealing with the recruitment and function of event chairs and community-wide event committee particularly valuable, but there is also an excellent chapter on the intricacies of budgeting for special events. But even an expert like Wendroff knows his limitations as he explains that the most detailed event budget is only an "educated guess."
The portion of the book dealing with using the Internet and e-mail in connection with special events offered less than I expected, but this area is evolving so rapidly that we might be better off just keeping tabs on the Howard Dean campaign's "meet up" concept to get some cutting edge ideas. One of the best features is the book's real "soup to nuts" coverage, from major topics like identifying high profile event chairs to some incredibly practical tips (i.e., provide award presenters with a printed copy of the text of the award engraving because it can often be difficult to read the engraving from the award itself).
My guess is that the novice special event organizer will want to keep this book close at hand while more experienced planners run across some fine points or suggestions that will help them improve their chances for success. The book includes a CD-ROM containing a number of useful documents including the Master Event Timetable, all of the book's author-created exhibits and samples of a press release and mission statement. With this book under his belt, Wendroff can now turn to a how-to book on opening a successful new restaurant.

Give this book to your next special event chair........1999-06-07
"Biblio Tech" by Skip Henderson
"Use Alan -
You're planning a gala. The Chair has been selected. You want to establish a meaningful bond early in the process. Here's what you do. Buy an inexpensive brass trophy plaque. Engrave it with the Chair's name and proper motivational sentiments. Glue the plaque on a copy of "Special Events - Proven Strategies for Nonprofit Fund Raising." Present the book to the Chair and the bonding is complete. "Special Events" by Alan Wendroff, published by John Wiley & Sons, 1999, $29.00, provides the answers to what appear to be any questions that might arise in your event planning and management. The catch phrase, tossed out when any problem or question arises, will become the event committee's password
Use Alan.
"Special Events" is structured around four key special event elements; goals, planning, organization, and administration. Each element is analyzed with strategies and worksheets guiding organizational decisions. If you want to know how to clarify an event's objectives, estimate attendance, market the event, recruit volunteers, manage with only one committee meeting (!), even properly assign seating -
Use Alan.
"Special Events" comes with a disk providing work sheets and checklists you can adapt to your particular event's style and scope. These utilitarian tools complement Wendroff's all-inclusive organizational tool, the "Master Event Timetable." As questions arise and problems occur you won't be bothered. You will be remembered fondly as the Chair gratefully reflects on the plague and reaches to -
