Book Description

Although there are many Bayesian statistical books that focus on biostatistics and economics, there are few that address the problems faced by engineers. Bayesian Process Monitoring, Control and Optimization resolves this need, showing you how to oversee, adjust, and optimize industrial processes. Bridging the gap between application and development, this reference adopts Bayesian approaches for actual industrial practices. Divided into four parts, it begins with an introduction that discusses inferential problems and presents modern methods in Bayesian computation. The next part explains statistical process control (SPC) and examines both univariate and multivariate process monitoring techniques. Subsequent chapters present Bayesian approaches that can be used for time series data analysis and process control. The contributors include material on the Kalman filter, radar detection, and discrete part manufacturing. The last part focuses on process optimization and illustrates the application of Bayesian regression to sequential optimization, the use of Bayesian techniques for the analysis of saturated designs, and the function of predictive distributions for optimization. Written by international contributors from academia and industry, Bayesian Process Monitoring, Control and Optimization provides up-to-date applications of Bayesian processes for industrial, mechanical, electrical, and quality engineers as well as applied statisticians.

A corporate strategy for growth is delivered in spades........1997-12-02

"Director's Monthly," the official newsletter of The National Association of Corporate Directors, Vol. 21, No. 11, November 1997 says ... "CREATING AND SUSTAINING COMPANY GROWTH, by James B. Hangstefer (Waltham, MA: Burton-Merrill, 1997) promises a 'strategy for delivering concurrentgrowth in value to the key stakeholders of any company: customers, employees, and shareholders' --and delivers in spades. The author, who has run companies and served on a variety of company boards, offers a comprehensive set of managementand oversight tools organized around the concept of MOMENTUM. With practical tools such as a boards 'instrument panel,' Hangstefer lays out theresponsibilities of management versus the board, and shows how both can work together to achieve viable growth. Extras include a glossary and detailed case study."

A must read for any businessperson...a fresh perspective.......1997-10-20

Book Description

Dr. Woodside picks up where other books on "maxi-marketing" leave off, to prove that the effectiveness of image and linkage advertising can be measured, and to show advertising professionals how to do it. Readable and in detail, with carefully culled examples that go beyond simple case studies, Dr. Woodside provides a 20-step process model of how low and high involvement advertising work, and shows how to use top-of-mind-awareness measures and benefit-to-brand retrieval to assess advertising impact. His book also covers the details of evaluating the effectiveness of competing advertising media and ways to do useful advertising-to-sales conversion studies, within budget and in a timely manner. Well illustrated with tables and figures, and drawing upon important practical and academic research, Dr. Woodside's book will be essential reading for advertising, marketing, and sales executives and their colleagues in the academic community. Dr. Woodside leads off with his 20-step process model and review of the scientific and applied literature to show how advertising works. He answers the question of why top-of-mind awareness measures of advertising effectiveness are so valuable, and then uses detailed, numerical examples to illustrate the powerful tool of benefit-to-brand retrieval. He links profit-and-loss analysis to a linkage advertising monitoring program, then discusses the net profit impact of each advertisement in each medium. His report of a field study demonstrates that net profit is the big difference between image and linkage advertising. From there he moves to the long interview and its application to voice-of-the customer research, ways to value different customer segments, and how to monitor linkage advertising fulfillment strategies. Dr. Woodside's book will be an important contribution to our understanding of how advertising is done, and how it can be done better.

Book Description

Despite continuing equal opportunity approaches, women are still significantly under-represented at senior management levels and earn less than male colleagues. The author questions whether competence systems - developed and implemented in the workplace to provide objective measurement of management performance - contribute to, rather than improve, women's disadvantaged position in the workplace.

Drawing together the threads of critical theory, feminism and post-modernism into a new conceptual framework, the book provides an exciting departure from existing methods of analysis and points a new and challenging way forward for future researchers in management.

The Construction of Management is a rich and lively work, providing innovative theoretical and methodological approaches as well as practical solutions. In this way, the book will appeal to scholars of business and management, industrial relations and gender studies as well as business managers and consultants.

my opinion.......2003-11-07

Now we study the 1st edition in the school.All of us think it is a little difficult for beginners.Some examples are not familar with everyone,so we cannot konw these cases well.

Horrid!.......2003-06-19

Please, if you have a choice of textbooks, do NOT buy this one. I have a feeling the author knows nothing of eCommerce, yet was given 80 references, told to mash them together as non-sensically as possible and fire the result off to the publisher.
I've worked in eCommerce for a number of years and this book is a total waste of time and money. Many "industry terms" used do not exist. The author contradicts himself on a number of occasions. Many of the charts and illustrations are good for a laugh. I truly feel sorry for people who have this book as their introduction to eCommerce. You're going to come away with a lot of mangled/antiquated theories, and a bunch of "facts" that are just plain wrong. I'm sorry to say I had to memorize all of this junk in order to get an A in my course. As soon as I handed that exam in, I made a concerted effort to forget everything I read in this text.

Complicated basics.......2003-05-30

How on earth is it possible to make even the simplest of theories so complicated? The book is absolutely stuffed with useless words and figures. If the authors did not get paid per word, I am sure they could have written a splendid book with one third of the pages. The price is exorbitant, and what you get for more than a hundred dollars is close to nothing. Do NOT buy this book!

Ridiculously Boring.......2003-03-21

I am a full time student in a computing program which believe me, requires reading some boring books, but this one takes the cake. The way it was written simply does not flow. It was the only textbook I have read so far that literally put me to sleep. The content is very repetetive, and features graphs that are truley unintelligable. Skip this book unless you absolutely must purchase it for school.

Good information for a sales department.......2001-02-14

Hoover's Guide to the Top Southern California Companies is a great resource tool for the active sales professional targeting the high-tech and also manufacturing companies in SoCAl. Info. includes contact names, phone numbers, and other vital contact information to find the right person for your product. Sales revenues are given. One nice feature is how they summarize where the company plans to be in the future. A very good source for the "hungry" sales rep.!

Book Description

Focusing on experimental methods, authors Anne Myers and Christine Hansen lead students step-by-step through the entire research process, from generating testable hypotheses to writing the research report. The major sections of the book parallel the major sections of the research report (Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion), giving students the skills they'll need to design and conduct an experiment, analyze and interpret the research findings, and report those findings. Although the main focus is on experimentation, alternative approaches are discussed as important complements to controlled laboratory experiments.

Essential Vocabulary Primer .......2007-09-30

The book cost $10. With the purchase of the book, you get access to the web site for the discounted price of $5. Tip: Pay the $10 for web site access, buy a spiral note book, and save yourselves $4.

The book is nothing more than a list of vocabulary words and definitions on the left side and note taking pages on the right.

Still, it is handy to have the topic vocabulary words and place to take notes in one convenient package. If the process, as explained in the book and on the web site, is followed expect radical improvement in your grades and/or a more concrete foundation of knowledge.

Great for Excelsior's Research Methods in Psych test...........2004-08-17

Although I never ended up taking the test myself, several people advised me to buy this book, which in fact is the recommended textbook listed on the content outline for the ECE Research Methods test. After skimming though it, it appears to cover what is on the test (according to the outline). But get a used copy, unless you want to pay $100+ for a new one.

This book is great!!!.......1997-10-15

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about experimenting in Psychology. Myers and Hansen clearly explain confusing terms and use examples from daily life (when applicable). It is well worth the investment for Psychology majors and can also be enjoyed if you've never had a Psychology course before.

A real practical TQM book.......2000-12-19

This book has provided a very practical TQM framework, both for the concepts and the implementation. The book very well describes how to adopt and practise the Customer Focus concept, a component of TQM, by using well explained standard steps and real world examples. The best thing about this book, however, is that it has been written with the very common English so that it is not too difficult to understand by those using English as their second language.

Not for administrators.......2003-01-23

I've found this book extremely frustrating. It talks about a lot of things that I'd like to do, but does not tell you how to do them! I give two stars because it's discussions are still informative and provide some insight into portal design and sharepoint's capabilities.

But, what I really needed were practical implementation details, and this book completely fails to deliver in that respect.

Not enough info.......2001-12-14

The content is generally too "theoretical" to be of any help. It is more suited to a person who is evaluating sharepoint. A person looking for a reference to guide installation/development should look elsewhere. I expected at the very least a consolidation of the material at the MSDN, but I was wrong. The content is very shallow.

I would have given it one star, but the CD contains useful web parts that one can use as templates to in creating your own.

Caveat Emptor.......2001-12-10

Ok, here's the deal I'm an experienced ASP, office, sql, IIS, exchange developer, digital dashboard. I've been tasked to customize and deploy sharepoint for a fairly large organization. Naturally I felt I needed a book to serve as a guide for the more exotic requirements. Of course I turned to Microsoft. BIG MISTAKE.

This book is long on theory, short on details. Its more of an idea book then a resource kit. Its not for a beginner, because the only thing it goes into any detail is installation. Which means nothing because installation is run by a wizard. So as long as you meet hardware/software specs its a breeze.

There is nothing about even basic customization of the dashboard (which is almost 70% of what an organization will ask for).

Its not for an advanced person, because anyone who has even deployed sharepoint once, or at least worked with a document management tool will be able to work out the theories. What I was looking for was how to implement those theories through sharepoint!

You know it may only satisfy a marketing guy who needed to know in a jiffy what Sharepoint can do, but has no intention of doing it himself.

What you buy is a giant table of contents to the MSDN. There are many chapters that are 4-5 pages long that whet your appetite and then refer to so and so at microsoft.com for details.

I have never seen a book with such terrible code samples. They are pretty lame (basically "hello world" type stuff) and there are NO explanations. Basically "type this, install, and press run". I dont even know why what I typed is useful.

I gave a two stars because the CD came with some neat stuff (mostly better implementations of the web parts installed by default). You can rip these apart to use as templates for your own code, but man your going to have to figure out EVERYTHING by yourself.

So if you really want to learn sharepoint go to MSDN and save your money.
