The Value Matrix Approach, Creating Wealth and Success by Reaching your Personal and Business Goals

Customer Reviews:

The Title Says it All.......2005-03-29

The book is a fairly easy read, yet it covers many interelated complex subjects.

The concept of the Value Matrix is the linking of customer and selling organization perceptions of items of value to the delivery mechanisms of electronic commerce. This provides a roadmap that can be used to implement directed electronic commerce solutions that benefit both the customer and the selling organization.

The book should be read by everybody who has a hand in creating value for thier organization.

The 4P's Meet Electronic Commerce.......2005-03-18

This book is very informative, easy to read, and the concepts are easily understood. This is a how-to book on customer value, but without fancy hypes in other books I have read. It is simple and to the point. Dr. Brown has laid out a very simple approach to creating value, and really shows you how to look at your customers needs, and help them. The book is based in electronic commerce, but the way it is written, his model can be used in any organization from a travel agency to a car manufacturer. His approach is unique, because it is simply what we all want, value for our buck, and I think the matrix will be absolutely necessary for anyone who wants to compete in electronic commerce, since it breaks electronic commerce into eight very easily understood categories, just like the 4Ps did for marketing.

Book Description

Emphasizing teamwork, leadership and technology, this book distinguishes itself in two major ways: its emphasis on teamwork and leadership skills and its integration of ethics and diversity throughout. This book is especially timely because of the recent attention given to teams in business and industry, the examination of technology's role in small group communication, and the growing awareness that professionals need to examine their own leadership competence and understand the ethical and social implications of the groups in which they participate.

Book Description

This work establishes the existence of a sophisticated and smoothly functioning system of financial markets in the mercantile states of northwestern Europe throughout the 1700s. Based on computer analysis of thousands of price quotes from the financial press of the eighteenth century, the results should force both historians and economists to reevaluate their understanding of the evolution of financial markets and their importance for the economic developments of that era.

You'll also learn why prospects aren't buying from you -- and how to change their minds. A refreshing departure from the same old worn-out techniques, Maximum Influence presents the life-changing skills and techniques that will help you fulfill all your hopes and dreams!

Customer Reviews:

On a whole different level!.......2007-08-20

Maximum Influence is superior to any books written about influence! Kurt did a great job teaching influence in his book and Maximum Influence is not only a fun read, but is written in a way that makes it easy to apply the principles taught.

This book has pretty well all there is wrto persuasion.......2007-02-22

A very practical book that seems to have pretty well everything you would want to know about persuasion in one easy to read volume. He has 12 laws that make sense as well as a checklist to ensure you have the best chance to persuade your audience. Definitely a library keeper, especially if you are a salesperson, in marcomm, or a speaker/presenter. Lesson reinforced, information helps persuade, emotion sells the deal. The twelve power laws are:

Dissonance

Obligation

Connectivity

Social Validation

Scarcity

Verbal Packaging

Contrast

Expectations

Involvement

Esteem

Association

Balance

vick's opinion.......2007-01-09

This book is fantastic, it not only explains the importance of each law but it also verbalises it in a way where it's very easy to understand

You can bet on it.......2006-08-30

This is the best and most comprehensive work on human nature and mind dynamics I have read. A must read for any salesperson or any one interested in bringing out the best in people. A very easy read with numerous every day examples of the Laws in action. Simple tools for major improvements in our communicatian skills.

Very Persuasive.......2005-09-01

Here, in one place, is a consolidated list, with examples, of the major ways people are persuaded to change behavior.

Book Description

Amid the current, protracted recession in Japan, new corporations — termed global excellent companies by the authors of this book — have been rising since the end of the 20th century. They are not yet in the spotlight but have a huge market share worldwide with regard to their specialized products and services.

These corporations have climbed to the top of the global market while many other large Japanese companies have fallen into a slump. The authors highlighted their corporate policies and strategies for achieving high earnings — the secret of "producing something from nothing" and "enabling the lesser to win against the greater". They have long focused on specific niches, improved the speed of their business undertaking, and effectively used information technology. The authors set out to study these companies and analyze their practices so as to gain insight into the way companies should be managed in the 21st century.
