False Discription.......2007-10-22

I ordered this book for my upper level business course at the university i attend and it is complete worthless to me. I needed the cases that WERE supposed to come with the book. Yet i received only the subject matter information, needless to say i wasted my money and i had to run copies off of someone elses text book. Maybe next time i will just pay the extra $60.00! At least ill know its the right book. Thanks!

Does not have BSG online code.......2007-05-06

Same contents as the hard cover edition but this version does not come with BSG online access code. If you will need to play the Business Strategy Game online, you will need to pay $35 extra for online access code.
Language is a bit simplistic, not the type you would expect in a business textbook.

Easy read.......2007-04-01

This book is fairly easy to read. Lots of good/useful case studies.

Exellent condition.......2007-03-23

Book was in great condition. Received exactly as described. Top class seller.

The authors should find a different editor........2007-02-05

This book contains a lot of valuable information on market strategy. The content of the book is very useful, but also very wordy and repetitive. That makes gleaning the book's "meat" a very frustrating task.

Fortunately, core concepts are listed in page margins to summarize main ideas. There are also diagrams illustrating these core concepts. These will help you to skip past the fluffy content.

I think this book shows real promise but is in serious need of copy editing.

Paperback version doesn't have the cases.......2006-02-23

The only reason I bought the book was for a class and I bought it online because it was way cheaper. THe trick of it was the paperback version doesn't have the cases inside, which go figure, are the most important part of my class. Now I have to photocopy them ore order them offline through my professor.

Well crafted fluff.......2006-02-12

With this books you can:

1. Improve your vocabulary with lots of big, meaningless words.
2. Insult your intelligence if this is not your first take at strategy.
3. Remedy your nasty case of insomnia with overcooked strategy implementations.

The other book (the hardcover version) has some interesting case studies. Otherwies, text is the same, only heavier...

Awesome Textbook!!.......2005-10-23

It was clean, looked close to new, had some highlights but nothing that I couldn't handle. I was really lucky..thanks.

Good Seller.......2005-09-30

The book arrived in brand new condition within reasonable time. Really good seller.

Great Book.......2005-09-10

This was my MBA text book and I found the content very nicely organized with plenty of topical references to recent business happenings which made the application meaningful and raised lots of related issues in the class room.

I would give it 4 stars!

Book Description

As the world watches the European Union navigate its singular course, little attention is paid to the first attempt at forming an economic union among European nations. In this fluent and coherent account, Marsh exposes and examines archives that were until now hidden in disparate political records, to record the rise and fall of a previous, 30-year attempt at a European common market.

Book Description

Focusing on the electronic media -- television, radio, and the Internet -- Audience Economics bridges a substantial gap in the literature by providing an integrated framework for understanding the various businesses involved in generating and selling audiences to advertisers. Philip M. Napoli presents original research in order to answer several key questions:

• How are audiences manufactured, valued, and sold?

•How do advertisers and media firms predict the behavior of audiences?

•How has the process of measuring audiences evolved over time?

•How and why do advertisers assign different values to segments of the media audience?

•How does audience economics shape media content?

Examining the relationship between the four principal actors in the audience marketplace -- advertisers, media firms, consumers, and audience measurement firms -- Napoli explains the ways in which they interact with and mutually depend on each other. He also analyzes recent developments, such as the introduction of local people meters by Nielsen Media Research and the establishment and evolution of audience measurement systems for the Internet. A valuable resource for academics, students, policymakers, and media professionals, Audience Economics keeps pace with the rapid changes in media and audience-measurement technologies in order to provide a thorough understanding of the unique dynamics of the audience marketplace today.

Customer Reviews:

Missing entire sections!.......2007-07-18

The copy Amazon sent me was missing entire sections, including some important diagrams and figures. There was simply white space where the diagrams were supposed to be. I had to photocopy the pages off of a friend's book. How embarassing!

Don't bother.......2007-05-18

This is one of the most boring books I've ever read. It's written on an academic level and should not be forced upon students. It's as if the writer was bored writing it.

Book Description

This volume collects the best work representative of the theory of decision making under risk and uncertainty. Thirteen articles present extensions and alternatives to expected utility theory explaining behavior in and out of the laboratory, including activity in financial markets, crimes of passion, and the Ellsberg paradox. These contributions on the theory of individual behavior are complemented by five studies reporting the design, execution, and implications of experiments that test alternative theories. Finally, the implications of the interaction of individuals under risk and uncertainty in markets and negotiation are explored in ten papers. Throughout, the approach taken reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the research. The contributors include economists, psychologists, statisticians, and management scientists, each writing to make their work critically comprehensible to the wider audience.
