Soul Food: Fifty-two Principles for Black Entrepreneurial Success
ASIN: 1878647385 |
Book Description
History confirms that wealth equates to power. Author, entrepreneur, and management consultant Robert Wallace contends that wealth is the one remaining ingredient still missing from the African-American power base. In Black Wealth: Your Road to Small Business Success, Wallace demonstrates that, while ethnic solidarity and political power have increased significantly over the past thirty-five years, the creation of personal wealth within the black community has lagged behind.
Wallace argues that the best way to create black wealth is through entrepreneurship—the establishment, growth, and institutionalization of black-owned businesses that keep money within the community and draw new money in from outside. He also identifies the ideal person to establish a business that is both personally lucrative and empowering for the entire community . . . you!
But where do you start? How do you create a business? How will you make it grow? How do you overcome such obstacles as racism and sexism? Black Wealth gives you expert guidance. Building upon fifteen years of research, Wallace uses inspiring portraits and case studies of successful African-American and female entrepreneurs. This book identifies and codifies the skills and strategies that were key to the success of these bold pioneers. What emerges is the Wallace 4 Quadrant Model For Entrepreneurial Success™, which you can emulate to achieve a similar outcome in your own professional life.
You will learn how to maximize your abilities and capacities, develop a plan for success, ensure that your plan conforms with the hard realities of the business world, and gain know-how from the successes and failures of those who have gone before you. In this indispensable book, you'll discover:
- How to prepare yourself to start your own business
- 17 strategies for entrepreneurial success
- Ways to find a business niche you can fill
- Extensive statistics on African-American economic and business conditions
- 20 traits of successful entrepreneurs
If you dream of the independence, financial freedom, and satisfaction of operating your own business; if you search for ways to strengthen your community while brightening your own future; if you feel the need to supplement your energy and determination with the hard-won wisdom and advice of those who have succeeded before you: Start your journey toward your dreams by reading Black Wealth.
Praise for Black Wealth
"New disciples of the black business crusade will find this book invaluable. This is a must-read for all African Americans looking to take the entrepreneurial plunge."—Black Enterprise magazine
"This book should be read by anyone considering entrepreneurship and by those who've already started but need help. Either way, your business acumen will be heightened."—The Atlanta Tribune
"Bob Wallace's fifteen-year study of successful minority and female entrepreneurs is a must-read for anyone who believes that entrepreneurship is the engine that drives America . . ."—Jack Kemp, Codirector of Empower America and Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary
"This book should be read by aspiring entrepreneurs, educators, politicians, religious leaders, economic development specialists, community activists, and, of course, current entrepreneurs."—Richard Knight, Small Business Incubator

Book Description
Gaining a better understanding of the way organizations work through the study of the symbols connected to them is the subject of Studying Organizational Symbolism. Michael Owen Jones briefly discusses the most obvious symbolic aspects of organizations--corporate logos, office sizes, use of titles--but focuses on the less obvious but crucial aspect of expressive forms of symbolism--storytelling, institutional jargon, and workplace personalization, among others. Jones carefully defines organizational symbolism and then explains the various methodologies that assist the researcher in documenting it. Finally, he examines the symbolism inherent in doing research on organizations. Researchers interested in any facet of organizational studies will find Studying Organizational Symbolism to be a useful and necessary guide.

Excellent Book For the Beginning Benchmarker.......2000-03-01
Bogan and English do a great job of introducing benchmarking, give great examples, and follow up with a nice set of "practice problems". They provide success stories and pitfalls to be avoided. Most importantly they give an excellent planning chapter for the company just beginning benchmarking. Great introduction to the topic.
Must reading for anyone implementing benchmarks.......1999-09-16
As a responsible management consultant, virtually every one of my engagements involves measurement and benchmarking in one form or another. This is one of several books I turn to time and again to assist me in ensuring that my clients' initiatives are (1) meeting expectations (2) providing competitive advantage and (3) delivering customer satisfaction. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me - adamleft@webspan.net.
Adopt a we-can-learn-from-anyone culture or else.......1997-01-09
Bogan and English have created a blueprint for creating this we-can-learn-from-anyone culture of benchmarking that is easy to read and use. They give literally hundreds of examples and suggestions for how to select benchmarking targets, organize for rapid learning, and implement these strategies. Learning by borrowing from the best and adapting their approaches makes sense. Buy this book before your competitors do

Book Description
The main question that guided the thinking behind this book can be stated as follows: "What kind of leadership behavior must executives of technology-driven organizations display to spur performance excellence?" To address this question the authors conducted videotaped interviews of executives from 65 organizations- including General Electric, Qualcomm, The Vanguard Group, and Barclays Global Investors - to identify common behaviors and traits that lead to organizational success. In addition to the interviews, they surveyed the executives' followers to evaluate the leadership and organizational culture to examine successful executive leadership from multiple reference points. The authors found that displaying outstanding executive leadership doesn't necessarily require a commanding presence, a genius-level IQ, expertise, or even a strong command and control system. At the heart of outstanding strategic leadership was an ability to envision a strategy for taking the raw inputs provided by their environments (e.g., people, technology, ideas, opportunities) and then to weave them into an integrated pattern or system of social, technical and intellectual resources that ultimately produce dramatically higher levels of organizational success factors. The book includes dozens of stories and narratives from the executive leaders to offer readers an in-depth look at what constitutes effective strategy-focused leadership in technology-driven organizations.
Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of standard economics, to the strategies economists employ in applying their theories to solve particular problems, and to the ways in which economists assess their theories. The author points out that economic theorists share a vision of economic theory as a "separate" science, believing that a single theory focusing on one cause, rational "greed," can capture the basic features of the whole economic realm. Professor Hausman argues that since economic phenomena are so messy, and economic theory is thus hard to test, it is accepted because its fundamental assumptions are seen as acceptable on an intuitive level. Evidence from other sources, particularly psychology, should be used by economists in their explorations.

Book Description
This introduction to the theories and analytical approaches of contemporary Western art music focuses primarily on pitch, but also treats rhythm and meter, texture, and form. Analyses of three songs exemplifying distinct modes of pitch organization (functional tonality, atonality, and neotonality) engage students, helping them understand the implications of what they have learned. Williams covers the fundamentals of set theory, and then expands on these fundamentals in chapters on diatonicism, symmetrical sets, neotonality, free atonality, and serialism. The author also explores more recent compositional techniques, such as chance and indeterminacy, minimalism, and eclecticism.

How boring can we make Music Theory?.......2001-12-07
"Dry and testing" is a perfectly accurate description. Maybe it is becuase I have a bias against most twentieth century music, but I really have a distaste for this book. I must say, the exercises are good. They helped me understand the material much more quickly than simply reading about it or listening to the author ramble on - he's dry and testing too. I suppose this book is decent enough for a class - given that the teacher is creative and uses other sources as well. I wouldn't want to keep it around afterwards as a reference.
General comments.......2000-07-08
This is a workbook generally covering all major twentieth century developments in composition. However, it heavily concentrates on rigid objective theories which analyse 20th century music, and as a result can tend to be a little dry and testing for the reader at times. The author also tends to overcomplicate simple concepts ocassionally. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see how music theorists have attempted to grapple with highly complex areas such as twelve-tone theory and neotonal harmony.

Book Description
This book examines variability within broadly defined African forager societies. Foragers have been seen as culturally similar as they all pursue a subsistence strategy emphasizing hunting and gathering. However, new research suggests there may be more diversity among groups than has been acknowledged. Here, leading scholars contrast groups within forager societies. Chapters range in scope from symbolic to ecological and behavioral, providing invaluable data on hunter-gatherer life for anyone concerned with past or present foragers.

Book Description
This book represents the full spectrum of Alan Walters's contribution to economics over thirty years, from academic debate to close involvement in British policy making. It includes not only his earlier contributions to applied monetary economics but also his work on political economy which generated much interest following his appointment as economic adviser to Margaret Thatcher. The volume charts the development of Alan Walters's thinking on money, monetary policy and macroeconomics. It makes special reference to his work on the demand for money and the money multiplier, money and the business cycle and the political economy of money. The book opens with an introduction by Kent Matthews in which he provides an overview of Alan Walters's work in the context of the so-called 'monetarist counter-revolution'. He also offers an introductory discussion on each of the essays, which include: the quantity theory of money, consistent expectations, the time lag effects of money, supply-side policies, foreign exchange rates and anti-inflation policies. These essays offer important policy prescriptions, some of which are particularly timely in the light of increasing European economic and monetary integration. The Economics and Politics of Money will be welcomed by business and government as well as professional economists, social scientists and researchers interested in monetary economics and political economy.

Book Description
brand hi·jack (br?and h? ¯-j?ak'): consumer takeover (synonym).The consumer's act of commandeering a brand from the marketing professionals and driving its evolution.
Out of nowhere, a brand like Red Bull, The Blair Witch Project, or even the Howard Dean campaign takes off with little or no conventional marketing. How do these “accidents” really happen, and why do they ultimately succeed or fail?
Welcome to marketing without marketing: the emergence of the hijacked brand. Don't let the all- too-clever subtitle fool you. Far from representing the absence of marketing, this book describes the most complex sort of marketing possible, as well as the least understood.
Brand Hijack offers a practical how-to guide to marketing that finally engages the marketplace. It presents an alternative to conventional marketing wisdom, one that addresses such industry crises as media saturation, consumer evolution, and the erosion of image marketing. BACKCOVER: “Alex Wipperfürth comes from the same zone that trend-starters and iconoclasts come from: the (slightly lunatic) fringe.The ideas in Brand Hijack are stern stuff and not for the fainthearted. But they work, which is more than you can say for perhaps 90 percent of marketing communications.”
—John Grant
“Mr Wipperfu¨rth makes an intriguing case for abandoning traditional techniques.”
—Stefan Stern, Financial Times
“This is not your ordinary marketing manual. With casual humor and a laid-back tone, Wipperfürth . . . offers a glimpse into America's consumer- and ad-driven culture.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Brand Hijack is a smart…argument for letting customers define a brand.”
—Fast Company
Customer Reviews:
A chinese buffet of critiques and ideas.......2006-05-09
Brand Hijack is in turns amongst the most boring and the most interesting of marketing paperbacks out there. Wipperfurth is clearly fed up with conventional marketing and its desire to "control" the identity of a brand and in turn, the experience of the consumer. One can not blame him for it - the strength of this book lies in making a strong case for brands to think of consumer interactions as dialogues. Focus groups exchanged for true interaction with actual consumers. Indeed what would have been impossible 20 years ago, is very possible today. Today, one can have communities that support and work with certain brands, and those communities can inspire brand loyalty of the kind that money and ads can not buy. Point taken.
The problem lies with Wipperfurth undying love for bullet pointing the world. I have rarely seen some one bullet point quite as much. A class in journalism or comparitive literature is called for. Simple arguments tediously wind into multiple segments and points and tables.
Not only are these tables boring and difficult to even glance through, but they are entirely pointless and inaccurate. There are no ten ways to catch a butterfly. No ten ways to read a newspaper. And certainly no ten ways to manage a brand hijack.
Rather than making some interesting points and arguments, demonstrating the importance of two way communication, exploiting the richness of modern media, and then talking through what makes the process so rich, the author gets lost in this mindless description of every phase and every twist and every turn. Very very boring and pointless.
But, the point is well taken. Brand managers can now learn a lot more about their brands, and positioning their brands, than 2 decades ago. And truly, brands must be positioned not just as for 23 year old young men, but in cultural terms - for 23 year old metrosexuals living in urban neighborhoods. Marketing needs to be more targetted - consumers have many identities and reaching one takes effort. Conventional STP analysis and demographic profiling is just no longer accurate - peer groups rather than age and sex, influence tastes.
Be prepared to flip pages. But do read the book.
Another propaganda piece for the Brand as God Cult.......2005-10-05
Clever jacket. Pretty words that sound like a stoned ad consultant on auto play. Cute stories -- one or two keepers. A lot of "so what?"
But not exactly strategic. Worse still, the book attempts to add legitimacy to "Branding", which in the hands of most ad agencies, is dangerous and utterly ridiculous.
The first thing I teach my clients who want to build a brand like a Fortune 500 is that we brand COWS not people. There is a right way to build relationship, and conventional branding is not it. A quick lesson on marketing: People talk about (and ultimately buy) things that resonate with them and help them to either fit in or stand out. If people find truth and purpose through what you sell, well done. Everything is bulls**t.
If you're in advertising this book will give you more ways to confuse your clients into not asking for measurable results (sales). Otherwise, it makes excellent bathroom reading material.
Packed with Knowledge!.......2005-09-27
This thoughtful book fills a gap in marketing literature by explaining why some unknown products and people suddenly become huge financial and popular successes. While many people assume marketers create such stars with careful planning and huge advertising campaigns, in fact many of these brands were ignored before they emerged into the mainstream. Fringe groups popularized them, created their images and made them generally successful, often with no professional involvement at all. Author Alex Wipperfürth has done a masterful job of identifying, researching and revealing this phenomenon. In a world of repetitive marketing books, this one stands out as refreshing and insightful, complete with numerous case studies and extensive endnotes. We believe it would be a welcome addition to any marketing department's library. It can reinvigorate your creative marketing as it explains the unexpected.
Held hostage........2005-07-11
It felt like I was the one being held hostage, waiting again for an illuminating theory to be spawned from the unfolding of otherwise extraordinary circumstances.
While I will not deny Alex's flair for strategy, and his firm's cool command of serendipitous brand diffusion, I must call this one as yet another attempt by so-called branding aficionados to brand in hindsight (i.e. put their mark on) events that have more to do with accident than strategic execution.
You will find nonetheless valuable insights and a new perspective but unfortunately they end up lost in the recitation of the same three examples and a tangle of assertions that have more to do with early market diffusion practices than the theory being tabled. Too bad, the sections dealing with traditional marketers responses to these conditions could have been the cornerstone of this book had they been better developed; unfortunately they were only served up to illustrate their foolishness and myopia. The proper title for this book would have been "A few lessons learned from the Red Bull Story".
Breakthrough Insights, thorough research and well organized material.......2005-07-07
I am an account planner for a new media agency (...), so I live and breathe this subject every day at work. I found this book to be incredibly compelling for a few reasons:
1. Wipperfurth provides a great deal of rich detail around what works, what does not, and why. His thesis is well-researched and well thought out; many books on marketing are superficial and lack the depth and rigor that is shown here.
2. Despite a great amount of detail and richness around the case studies, this book is still driven by the ideas and not the examples. In other words, the content is well organized and easy to read.
3. He's right! I have a background in psychology and I've worked both as a strategic marketing consultant and an account planner, so I've spent my whole career thinking about how customers think. This book really added something important to my body of knowledge. I would go so far as to say the book was inspirational (and no, he does not know me and is not paying me to say this, before you ask!)
4. This book is not for all brands, at all times, but Wipperfurth never claims that it is.
Overall, a book worth reading. He has peered into the future of marketing with this book. 10 years from now, this book will appear seminal, as many of the trends he talks about go more mainstream.

An important book on life insurance by the most knowledgeable author on the subject. THE book to read.
The definitive guide to life insurance........1999-09-03
Joseph Belth provides the analytical consumer with a rational, systematic approach to understanding personal insurable risk and how to transfer that risk to an insurance company. Readers can browse the chapters to get answers to questions specific to their individual situation, or read it cover-to-cover for a comprehensive overview. Of particular value are the strategies for assessing how good your policy is and whether it's a "good deal". Although a bit dated, it is still the best book on the subject. Those interested in a more current discussion of the industry, company ratings, and consumer issues are referred to Professor Belth's newsletter THE INSURANCE FORUM, PO Box 245, Ellettsville, Indiana, 47429.
