From the supplier: Companies are increasingly establishing their presence in the Internet in their bid to attract more business. This allows them to gather, organize and publish information in an inexpensive and effective manner. Given the low cost of launching an online presence, businesses that have not done so should seriously think about it. An option for a company that wants to have an Internet presence is to acquire its own dedicated server that is linked to the network 24 hours a day. An alternative, which is suitable for small companies, is to simply have an external Internet service provider to maintain a corporate presence for the firm at its site. A company also has to choose an outside firm to design its Web site and purchase a software for maintaining Web pages.

From the supplier: The Internet has made research in the real estate industry a significantly easier task for those responsible with conducting studies related to the business. The 24-hour-a-day access to information from all over the world has freed these researchers to spend more time researching, analyzing and communicating. In searching for information about a certain company, free options are available. These include the World Wide Web site of the company, the EDGAR database of the Securities and Exchange Commission, newspaper and trade publication sites, and state and county sites. Paid information is also available from Dun and Bradstreet's Business Background Report, Down Jones News/Retrieval and specialized search services. When looking for market data and demographics, researchers can use searches, links and communication with city residents.

From the supplier: The Internet has become an important marketing tool for the real estate industry. Although successful marketing still relies on such basic principles as knowledge, reputation, customer service and consistent image, marketing via the Internet has made it easier for companies to reach out to their target audience. It has also enabled the individualization of marketing based on the different requirements of customers. Furthermore, companies can easily obtain information about their customers and prospects without conducting a thorough research. Organizations interested in establishing their own World Wide Web site to market their services should make sure that it is consistent with their overall marketing image. They should also provide enough information on the network because selling is not just persuading prospects but also acting as their resource of knowledge about their industry.

From the supplier: New users of the Internet need to familiarize themselves with various Web tools and terminologies to maximize surfing time. Search engines, such as Hotbot, Excite, Yahoo and AltaVista, develop a big database, or index, with keywords from the pages they have browsed. Netscape Navigator's "bookmark" feature or Internet Explorer's "favorites" will help surfers return to these pages without wasting time on typing each address. After familiarization with these tools, surfers become better prepared to explore the Internet.

Book Description

This book analyzes the dramatic social impacts of global economic restructuring in the US textile industry and the consequences for Southern textile mill communities. With the expansion of markets in the global economy, government policies such as NAFTA and GATT are greatly affecting the domestic production of textiles. Increased global competitiveness has led to technological modernization, plant shutdowns, and downward pressure on wages. Many family-owned companies are merging into conglomerates, some of which are international. Concurrently, the structure of power and domination in Southern textile communities is changing. Paternalistic control, typically portrayed as a form of traditional authority and benevolent protection of workers, is no longer dominant. With the decreased need for skilled labor, textile company owners are not obligated to provide mill villages with housing electricity, and water. Formerly protected communities are now players on an international scale, with workers competing for jobs on a global level. New forms of class exploitation, racism, and sexism provide a contested terrain for mill employees.
As the industry restructures, workers and their households are faced with new challenges. To understand these social impacts, I examine globalization, restructuring, and spatialization as processes embedded in multiple layers of reality. The multi-level analysis focuses on the Southern textile industry, a leading firm, its surrounding labor market area, and members of the community. Historical, statistical and qualitative interviewing methods yield data that demonstrate redefined labor markets, reconstituted race relations, and household adaptations. Changes in firm and industry impact shop-floor labor processes, including increased production pace, new management strategies and technological adjustments. As embedded layers of social relations, the multi-level outcomes are both negative and positive, creating new winners and losers in Southern communities.

Discover big and small savings with this gem.......2002-11-23

Don't let the help desk have all the power or keep you waiting... waiting... You and your small business can get a bit of help with this book and leave the far too complex problems for the technicians. Not to worry, this is not a technical book nor does it use jargon.

You probably don't have much time to read books as a small business owner or a manager of a small tech shop. I'm in the same boat and I got through the book faster than I get through most non-fiction books because of its excellent and scannable layout. There are 101 tips in the book and the back of the book has them all listed for quick referencing or you can go to the section of preference: hardware, software, and data protection.

Each of the 101 tips headlines the page followed by two things: Save on Soft Costs and Save on Out-of-Pocket Expenses. A checkmark by these items indicates the kind of savings to expect from following the tip. The tip has headers and short paragraphs to enable quick scanning.

Already comfortable with computers? So am I -- I still learned quite a few things. Subscribe to Feinberg's free newsletter if you want to get a feel for what the book is like.
