Customer Reviews:
Good book!.......2007-07-28
This was the text in a grad level class I took, and I'm glad the prof chose it! This is a great read for anyone that wants to learn how negotiation affects all aspects of your life as well as for those who want to improve their negotiating skills!
Great content, very dry.......2006-11-03
The book has many excellent points, but is written in a manner that will bore you. Several of us in class have three books to read, and this one is the least interesting. I still would recommend it as a good textbook, but only if used as an additional resource to "Getting to Yes" and "You can negotiate anything". Between the three you'll stay interested and the overlap will reinforce.
Used in MBA program - not that useful.......2006-04-06
We used this book in our negotiations class and actually found Getting to Yes to be more useful. This is one of those textbooks that I have written about in other classes that has a lot of common sense in it but it actually makes thinking about negotiation harder than it really is. The book could easily have been shrunk from 430 pages to about 150 pages. The book actually presents too many things to think about in a negotiation that you end up becoming confused about which strategy to use or how to play defense. Of course, like any book some people might like it but I know myself and other classmates did not find it that helpful.
excellent book........2005-10-21
Definitely recommended for anyone interested in learning more about the topic. I enjoyed Thompson's no-nonsense approach to negotiation. This book is full of interesting case examples from the real world. It is substantive and practical. Definitely a good buy.
Great Information - Complicated Read.......2005-06-07
A good introduction to negotiations. Although it is complicated to read through the chapters, it contains valuable information about many different aspects of negotiations and strategies.

Book Description
Marketing research on the Internet has moved from the introductory stage of its product life to the growth stage in the 21st century. Technological developments and social diffusion of the Internet have and will continue to shape the future of marketing research dramatically. Exploring Marketing Research, 8e reflects the astonishing changes in information technology that have taken place since the previous edition. While this edition continues to focus on the time honored, traditional marketing research methods, the addition of extensive coverage of Internet research is a major change in this edition. Internet issues are carefully placed throughout the text to combine basic marketing research concepts with the emerging Internet power to conduct effective marketing research.
Customer Reviews:
MBA textbook.......2006-05-14
I used this textbook for an MBA Marketing Research class. Very useful complementary textbook.
Websurveyor not working.......2004-09-25
I used this book over five semesters for the class of Marketing Research I teach at ASU. It is an OK-to-good book. However I would like to warn potential buyers that WebSurveyor has discontinued its contract with the book's publisher many semesters ago; so even if you find a coupon inside the book with a code to enter to use WebSurveyor online, you will not be able to log in...
Excellent General Marketing Research Text.......2004-01-21
I am an MBA/Graduate Marketing Research adjunct professor at Lindenwood University in St. Louis, MO and I am currently using this text for my class. The students find it very accessible, even for non-researchers, and easy to read. I find that it flows very well and makes good use of real-world examples. The only criticism is that there could be even more real-world cases and examples and some interactive projects that could better allow students to have a more hands-on learning experience. This text is very good overall, but I am needing to supplement the class with some outside real-world projects.

Book Description
Quantifying and assessing the value of an organisation's design department can be problematic. The tools traditionally used by auditors are usually insufficient to `measure' either the value of design projects or their influence within an organisation. This book demystifies the design development and design management process, scrutinising it against a new set of auditing principles which illuminates its true value in a contemporary context.
Featuring a series of international case studies,
Design Management: Exploring Fieldwork
and Applications argues that assessment of the design function within any organisation must incorporate both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The book explores a number of key themes, such as new product development, risk in design and corporate identity. Moreover, by drawing on a range of techniques from the social sciences, the authors rigorously develop means by which design may be understood accurately.
This book represents an important and timely contribution to our knowledge of the management of product and service innovation. It will be an invaluable text for students and researchers working in design and management.

Book Description
Think about it: Does it make sense to try solving a problem using the same kind of thinking that caused the problem in the first place? Unfortunately, this happens all too often. In Creative Solution Finding, Gerald Nadler and Shozo Hibino, authors of the groundbreaking book Breakthrough Thinking, offer an entirely new way for finding solutions: Full-Spectrum Thinking. This approach presents new principles and a new process for creating and restructuring solutions.
"Nadler and Hibino have taken traditional Western problem solving to task by introducing a new total approach to solution-finding that has unlimited potential for today's policy setters in any field."
—Joe Weller, President and CEO, Nestlé USA, Inc.
"Creative Solution Finding offers a new thinking paradigm for our times that is as elegant in its clarity as it is profound in its potential."
—Jon C. Madonna, Chairman and Chief Executive, KPMG Peat Marwick, Certified Public Accountants
Customer Reviews:
another great job by Nadler&Hibino.......1999-09-22
Having read "Breakthrough Thinking" the creative solution finding was just as great.
I would suggest that anyone who has read Drucker, Juran, Deming and Crosby will find that Nadler & Hibino work just as meaningful
Interesing reading, but not a quick read!!!.......1999-08-29
Get your mental sledgehammer ready!!! Be prepared to spend some time marshalling your mental resources to take full advantage of this book. The seven principles of full spectrum thinking, although intruiging, will tax your mental energies while you spend time mastering these new skills, these are not light concepts. Mastering the systems matrix, the conceptual template for your problem-solving activities, will prove to be a rugged challenge indeed. This new approach to problem solving emphasises that you must consider what you central purpose is among other things and create a system of support structures around that purpose. Get the headache pills ready. And, by all means accept the challenge!!! Don't be discouraged. Who knows what you may accomplish!!!? Good luck!!!
