Book Description

The last twenty years have witnessed a tremendous increase in industrial collaboration in research and development (R&D) both in Europe and the world at large. Firms have increasingly opted for collaboration in an effort to deal with the uncertainties that stem from rising research costs, rapid technological change and the development of a network economy. Governments have been quick to support this trend in order to promote competitiveness and, in the European context, to foster cohesion.

The definitive guide to performance improvement.......2002-08-11

This book is all you need to understand the process of performance improvement in organizations, and the "active ingredients" that impact performance. The book separates the snake oil and fads from solutions that are supported by research. It gives clear and research-based guidelines for diagnosing the causes of performance gaps and selecting solutions for knowledge, motivation, and organizational problems. Case studies illustrate the application of the model and rules. In addition, the book describes how to reliably and validly evaluate the effects of performance solutions and identifies flaws in some common approaches to evaluation. The book answers the kinds of "why" and "what if" questions that rarely get addressed. It includes a powerful model of motivated performance that can be used to address any motivational problems. This book gives one the arguments and references to support organizational development and training practices and also the arguments and evidence to abandon practices that have been shown to either be ineffective or to do more harm than good. If you want to understand why what you are doing works (or doesn't work), you need to read this book. It is unlike any other to date in the field of performance improvement and training. It takes the profession to a higher level and is a must for anyone working in the area of organizational development, performance improvement, or training.

Book Description

Has marketing moved from "new and improved" to "as good as always"? Is old the new "new"? Retro-marketing is all around us, whether it be retro-products like the neo-Beetle, retro-scapes, such as Niketown, or retro- advertising campaigns, which make the most of the advertiser's glorious heritage. The rise of retro has led many to conclude that it represents the end of marketing, that it is indicative of inertia, ossification and the waning of creativity. Marketing — The Retro Revolution explains why the opposite is the case, demonstrating that retro-orientation is a harbinger of change and a revolution in marketing thinking. In his engaging and lively style, Stephen Brown shows that the implications of today's retro revolution are much more profound than the existing literature suggests. He argues that just as retro- marketing practitioners are looking to the past for inspiration, so too students, consultants and academics should seek to do likewise. History reveals that new ideas often come wrapped in old packaging. Marketing — The Retro Revolution unwraps this retro- package and, in doing so, offers radically new ideas for the future of the field.

A helpful book.......2000-02-18

I have already read several books on statistics and QC, but only few of them are so comprehensive as this one. It is helpful for both undergraduates and graduates students, who want to better understand the topics here presented. The book also comes with a data CD for exercices, thus making understanding easier for people.

Excellent Method Presentation and great Application Tool.......2000-02-05

Seldom can it be said that statistical methods are well explained. This Reference is a great melding of both method and application. I found that many of the concepts are structured in a way that allows for more practical use than theory explaination. Kudos to the authors.

A comprehensive and modern presentation of ind. statistics.......1998-12-22

The next millenium offers new opportunities for the application of statistics in industry. These opportunites come from better understanding of management needs and availability of wide spread computer power. The foreword by Bob Glavin, Chairman of Motorola Inc., provides the business motivation for the implementation of industrial statistics. The text presents modern graphical techniques, bootstrapping approaches and advanced SPC and DOE techniques. An unusual feature of the book is the availability of add-on software that allows the reader to practice hands-on learning with simulators and specially designed software for data analysis, acceptance sampling, SPC, design of experiments, and reliability. A useful book for students and practicioners alike.

Book Description

This book is a concise and lucid review of the strengths and weaknesses of the British motor industry during the one hundred years since its foundation. Placing the industry firmly in a European context, the author first assesses its achievements before 1960, and then tests the various explanations that have been offered to explain its decline in the past thirty years. He examines the role of government, of the trade unions, of management and of the multinationals, all of which have been seen as major players in the industry's demise.

This book's title is misleading.......2006-02-09

I too thought this book was about Google Adsense and was sorely disappointed when it arrived. And despite its subtitle, "The behavioral science of advertising", it mostly isn't about that either.

The bulk of this book is a primer on basic advertising strategy for a business. And I do mean basic; the book covers topics like the purpose of advertising, and how CPM (cost per mille or thousand) works. The book is set in large type with huge paragraph spaces. It is 202 pages, yet the primary messages could have been communicated in between 50 and 100. The primary benefit I can articulate for the book is that it is a fast read; otherwise, otherwise, I don't recommend it.

This book is NOT about Google AdSense.......2005-08-19

I bought this book based on the book TITLE alone. It was a busy day and Amazon recommended that I buy this book based on the types of books I was searching for that day.

Trusting Amazon to add value to my reading experience, I bought it.

As I cracked the paperbook open hoping to learn what Kirk knows about "AdSense"...I was quick to discover that it has NOTHING to do with GOOGLE AdSense.

Ohh well, my fault. I hope someone benefits from this review and decides NOT to buy this book if they are looking for Google AdSense strategies.

As for the value within the book? Yep, pretty good and filled with common sense advertising tidbits. Kirk did a great job and I'm sure someone wanting this type of information would enjoy the book... as long as you know it has NOTHING to do with GOOGLE.
