Wonderful collection !.......1999-08-20
This brilliant volume which contains 214 poems from 145 poets from around the world is well worth the read. Many of the poets included in the work have been previously published by A Writer's Choice Literary Journal. Marlow dug through over 4500 submissions to find the selections which give rise to the voice of the so-called X-generation. His choices were excellent, and prove to show what we all too often forget-people are not labels or stereotypes. The X Generation is comprised of varied and individual mindsets, attitudes, emotions.
This anthology sings loud with a varied, vibrant, voice. I'd have preferred page numbers in the book but that is a small complaint. I think this work sets the tone for the future of poetry into the next millennium. And it serves well the point that Poetry Is Not Dead- but is a live, breathing, growing, and important part of world culture.
Congratulations to all the poets included, and a big hand of applause for Mr. Weaver.

STRATEGIC OPERATIONS: Competing Through Capabilities
Robert H. Hayes , Gary P. Pisano , and David M Upton Manufacturer: Free Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0684823055 |
Book Description
Designed for the second year elective opted by a third of the student body at the Harvard Business School, Hayes, Pisano and Upton break new ground in this text/casebook by emphasizing the manufacturing process itself as a competitive weapon. Today, companies typically adopt one or more of a growing number of improvement programs, such as TQM (Total Quality Management), JIT (Just-in-Time) production, and DFM (Design for Manufacturability). The majority of these improvement efforts, according to recent surveys, have not been successful. By pinning their hopes on a few best-practice approaches, managers implicitly abandon the central concept of a strategy in favor of a generic approach to competitive success. In clear, accessible prose, the authors propose a new explanation for the problems companies face by specifying the kind of competitive advantage each company is seeking in its marketplace and articulates how that advantage is to be achieved.
Customer Reviews:
Reaching.......2002-11-14
While I thought Pisano and company did a good job overall, they seemed to underestimate the power of simply being better than the competition in ALL arenas. This is a strategy that, if achieved, would really make JIT, TQM, and so forth, superfluous. Interestingly, this receives no mention thoughout the entire text.

DOUG MILLSTIEN IS OUT OF THIS WORLD .......2007-08-07
Setting your brand on fire........2001-06-09
Moon and Millison define the basic concepts around brand. They explain in clear buzzword-light language what influences the growth and positioning of a brand. Finally, they provide ample and well-explained pointers to further reading to help understand some of their basic ideas more clearly.
As a consultant working for a systems integrator, one of the things that impressed me the most was the focus on execution. Many books about branding seem to imply that the technical details are irrelevant to brand success, but _Firebrands_ makes the point that a relationship with a customer only has brand value when supported by appropriate policies, training, and technical infrastructure. This is a message that can't be, IMO, repeated often enough.
Well worth the time to read.

Not Hype! A System for Reality...and innovation........2001-03-05
As a Technology Interface Architect , the building of brand into the interaction of the product is vital to it's success.
My clients over the past 12 years have been besieged by what appears to them this mysterious thing out there that will grow over some process, that we will somehow invoke, and it will be successful if the powers that be are on our side.
This book makes it all very clear, while eliciting sympathy for all of us who have built brands. A genuine appreciation for its complexity is gained as you read a systemization of brandbuilding in Firebr@ands.
Moon has given us a thorough and deep taxonomy for building the brand from many different pragmatic angles. The dramatic distinctions in language make it easy to use the language as a tool in any company when it comes to educating organizations in building brand.
This is a book that I will return to over and over again as I help my clients grow their products into the future. It was a very brave, and necessary book to write. BRAVO!!!!
Beyond the Frontiers - A genetic approach to the Brand.......2001-03-01
The approach that one must take to these new media spaces and channels is not readily discernible from the clearly defined trails blazed in the more traditional areas of branding. This new territory is as different as the Earth is from the Moon [no pun intended]. The book travels beyond the areas marked as "unknown - there be dragons here" and opens a clear and understandable path into formerly mysterious areas.
What we need out here in the field is less hype and more substance. Firebrands is a rational, ground breaking treatise on the evolution of Branding. This is a pivotal work that serves as a wonderful deskside companion, as indispensible to me as my spell checker or my browser.
Michaels' best practices mental evolution from the time of the Jeff Martin led Digital Brand Building Seminars of the mid-90's to this opus show an extraordinary depth and breadth of thought and research . The Firebrands book is the Gray's Anatomy of Brand "science".
As my company moves forward with ground breaking, market defining services in the area of brand guaranty we will continue to consult the Firebrands roadmap. We anxiously await any follow-up materials that might come from this mind trust.
Be warned - this is not a shallow pop-business, executive book of the hour read. This is a genetic level approach to a new mindset. It must be read slowly, deliberately, and with a totally open mind. The graphics are not simply illustrative they are literally a book unto themselves. Read this brandspace atlas one chapter at a time, review the graphics, and with time and reflection you will understand.

Value Creation and Branding in Television's Digital Age
Timothy M. Todreas Manufacturer: Quorum Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 1567202721 |
Book Description
Until recently, profit in the television industry went to the owners of the conduit, the distributors of content. As the industry enters the digital age, the distribution bottleneck will disappear and be replaced by the content creators themselves. This book explains patterns of profitability from the golden age of television to the emerging digital age. Television today is not just 500 channels: it is countless millions of hours of programming stored on video servers around the world. For media companies wanting to create value in this new era, including the major networks, digital branding is key. Just as consumers manage to make their way in 30 seconds through a 100-foot aisle jammed with hundreds of boxes of cereal by reaching for a box of whatever name brand product they know and love, viewers will also navigate through the "vast wasteland" of content by returning to their favorite digital brand. This book provides detailed historical data, financial models, and informed discussion of profitability trends in the industry. It offers a framework for understanding and predicting profitability and describes the nature of branding as it applies to the television industry. It shows how a handful of dominant brands will emerge as sought-after organizers of content. Investors, industry consultants and executives, policy makers, students and academics will all find this book fascinating and informative.Customer Reviews:

I recommend that all television and media professionals, as well as consultants, read VALUE CREATION to better understand their opportunities as we begin to break free of the distribution bottlenecks of the Cable Era.
Explosive! This guy knows what's going on!.......1999-10-27
What made me buy this book was the title, and its content: Just as mp3 and the Internet have revolutionized music and information, digital television will revolutionize the whole TV experience as well as the industry.
This book held me captive from page one to the end, because it holds the answers to so many questions in my line of work, which is a consultancy services for digital television!
I recommend it to anyone who is interested in where television is coming from, where it's going and what the h_ll you should do about it!

Branding @ the Digital Age

Amazon.com
If branding and e-commerce have become two of the most overused terms in the contemporary business lexicon, it's only because the concepts behind them are as essential to modern corporate survival as any others in today's commercial bag of tricks. Branding @ the Digital Age, edited by Herbert Meyers and Richard Gerstman, looks beneath the clichés to show how these key processes can successfully intersect in the real world right now by presenting a dozen knowledgeable essays from individuals who concentrate daily on specific aspects of their ongoing convergence. The incisive articles include David B. Green of McDonald's International on shaping an image that is consistent both in-person and online; RedEnvelope Gifts Online's Hilary Bilings on developing long-term vision and long-range loyalty for Web brands; Vivienne Lee Bechtold of Procter & Gamble on the Internet and package goods; Greenfield Online's Rudy Nadilo on the benefits (and cautions) of online research; David Burwick of Pepsi-Cola North America on "interfacing with the consumer"; and Markforce Associates' Allan Poulter and Bird & Bird's Morag MacDonald on the legal aspects of online identity. A final piece, by Robert J. Herbold of Microsoft, looks toward "e-biz in the new millennium." Recommended. --Howard RothmanBook Description
The advent of the Internet and other new digital technologies means that companies-be they virtual or traditional bricks-and-mortar-must develop a successful strategy for presenting compelling brands in the virtual world. Drawing on their experience with Interbrand, the world's largest branding consultancy, and including chapters by branding experts from such companies as Pepsi-Cola, Procter amp; Gamble, and Hewlett Packard, the authors focus on the strategic role of e-branding. Practical, tested, and designed for companies in any industry, this book presents a lively look at creating and sustaining e-brands beyond the current dot-com fizzle.
