Don't buy.......2002-08-17

Don't buy this book. Most of the scholarships are for people with a GPA over 3.0 and most are for certian schools. There are better books out there

Just Flat Out Horrible.......2000-10-09

This horrible book does not have enough scholarships that are community or that are not restricted to certain colleges. This book has too many scholarships for certain schools and doesnt focus on a wide variety of colleges. There is an overwhelming amount of scholarships for Clemson University and California Polytechnic University. Nobody should waste their money on this useless piece of parchment.

Horrible!.......2000-02-08

I can't believe they can get away with saying "B or lower"... most are for "B or higher"! What a waste of money!

The book was horrible.......1998-09-28

This book claims to list all scholarships with a "B" GPA or lower. Many of the listings contained school-specific listings. The book didn't even list N.A.A.S. in it. I wasted my money!!

Very disappointed.......1998-04-22

I can't believe they can get away with saying "B or lower" when 99% of the scholarships listed say "must have a 3.0 or higher GPA" or are listings for scholarships by specific schools! I wouldn't waste my time ordering this book.

Book Description

Game-Theoretic Models of Bargaining provides a comprehensive picture of the new developments in bargaining theory. It especially shows the way the use of axiomatic models has been complemented by the new results derived from strategic models. The papers in this volume are edited versions of those given at a conference on Game Theoretic Models of Bargaining held at the University of Pittsburgh. There are two distinct reasons why the study of bargaining is of fundamental importance in economics. The first is that many aspects of economic activity are directly influenced by bargaining between and among individuals, firms, and nations. The second is that bargaining occupies an important place in economic theory, since the ‘pure bargaining problem’ is at the opposite pole of economic phenomena from the case of ‘perfect competition’. This volume is an outgrowth of the renewed interest in the strategic approach to the theory of bargaining and to the general theory of non-cooperative games.

Book Description

As the assumption that most students will attend college has increasingly become the norm for high schools, parents, and students themselves, standards and educational offerings for all students have grown to reflect that assumption. With the days of "vocational education" waning, where can students learn job skills, and how can students who do not intend to follow a college track be motivated to learn in preparation for something in which they will not participate?
Based on over five years of research on work-based learning in high school and community college programs across the country, Working Knowledge examines these questions and explores the potential for using work-based learning as part of a broad education reform strategy. Bailey, Hughes, and Moore synthesize a historical overview of work-based learning and its place in policy-making with the experiences of teachers and students, resulting in a dynamic account of the state of work-based learning and its significance for the field of education.

Cases in Consumer Behaviour - a helpful tool.......2001-08-30

I'm a Consumer Behaviour teacher in a Marketing University in Portugal, and I had problems in finding texts to work with, about this subject.
I usually used some magazines, but it's not easy to build special cases to study and to make some examples, to demonstrate the theory.
I've already read this book, and I can garantee that it's a very helpful book. I adopted it for this year in IPAM (Marketing Administration Portuguese Institute).
... the book is really good.

Description:
Research on the consumer perceptions of innovative offerings has tended to focus on products as opposed to services. Perceived risk has generally not been awarded a major role while uncertainty, which is viewed here as distinct from risk, has for the most part been disregarded. The study reported in this paper strives to identify some of the major risks and uncertainties associated with a new service, Internet Banking, during the early stages of its market development. The empirical research involved a qualitative study of a small sample of consumers and a survey of both adopters and non-adopters of Internet Banking. The survey employed a traditional research instrument, which involved the presentation of pre-identified risks and uncertainties. It was possible to identify several major 'risks' as well as 'uncertainties'. We raise questions about whether or not the anxieties and concerns identified by such a process of consumer research are true reflections of the major influences affecting consumer behaviour towards new retail services. The adoption of a 'perceived risk' stance as against one founded on the view that consumers may lack certainty about outcomes and consequences has implications for both theory and practice.

Book Description

Legislation outlawing sexual discrimination and mandating policies of equal pay for equal work has clearly failed to produce the intended results. Women workers continue to be paid substantially less than men, and more and more families headed by women have sunk below the poverty level. This volume of essays focuses on major issues that must be faced before a public policy promoting pay equity can become a reality. Combining the contributions of specialists from several disciplines, it offers statistical comparisons and analyses of wage inequities in various occupations, industries, and regions; case studies of comparable worth programs; and a conceptual framework for approaching the problem on a policy level.
