Book Description

The ISO 9000 family of quality management system standards was updated to reflect a modern understanding of quality. Originally, ISO 9000 standards were thought to be primarily a technical tool. Today, an increasing interest in these quality standards by service, education, and healthcare organizations has created the need to revise the ISO 9000 family of standards to make them more appropriate for all types of businesses. ISO 9000:2000 represents the first major revision to this series of quality standards since its initial release. 100 Frequently Asked Questions on the ISO 9000:2000 Series is the ideal companion to the final standard and will help explain the changes in presentation, terminology, format, and requirements to people who use quality in any organization.

What are the most important changes in the ISO 9000 series? What are the consequences for my quality management system? How much time remains to adapt the quality management system? From what date is it possible to obtain certification according to the new standard? This book answers these questions and more.

This guide is written for quality managers, consultants, auditors, technicians, teachers, and anyone else interested in understanding the new standards. Inside, you are given answers to questions about the content of the new ISO 9000 series and about related matters such as certification and the transition period. This guide makes the transition to the new ISO 9000 standards easier to understand and implement.

Book Description

Makes Japanese sources accessible in English
Although much of the work on Japanese economic history is inaccessible to Westerners, many of Japan's leading economic historians have published widely in English. Combined with the work of Western economists who can utilize Japanese-language sources, this series assembles a wide range of English-language articles on the key issues in Japanese economic development. Individual volumes cover the interwar period, postwar reconstruction and growth, the textile industry, demographics, agriculture, trade, and the rise of commerce and "protoindustry" in the Tokugawa era.

An information-packed classroom and research resource
An introductory essay in each volume discusses the significance of the articles, compares various economic development in Japan with those in other countries, and puts studies in the context of similar studies in Europe. A versatile research resource, this 7-volume set is a veritable gold mine of hard-to-find information and data from diverse sources and a godsend to everyone interested in comparative economic and social history. Professors will appreciate the collection because it gives them instant access to less familiar English-language sources and is an easy way to introduce students to doing their own research. Students will appreciate the many articles as a mother lode of information for reports and papers. Researchers will be pleased by the coverage of more than three centuries of Japanese history and life.

Book Description

The number of advertisements is steadily increasing around the world as affluence grows and more economies shift to a market system. One way to ensure that these ads are truthful, accurate, and wholesome is to rely on industry self-regulation. Through it, peers set up standards of good advertising practice and enforce them as an essential complement to government regulation. With the global expansion of advertising, the tasks of self-regulation have grown, together with some doubts regarding the industry's willingness and ability to develop and enforce ethical guidelines. This unique global study of the subject explores the spread of this social-control institution through a discussion of its relative strengths and weaknessess, a reporting of several surveys conducted by the author, and thirty-eight country profiles prepared with the assistance of practitioners around the world. The first chapter defines self-regulation, analyzes its pros and cons, relates it to government regulation, investigates its structures and processes, discusses the involvement of non-industry members in its functioning, evaluates its effectiveness, and considers its recent spread around the world in the light of new developments such as the completion of the European Common Market. A second section reports the key findings of surveys conducted by the author for the International Advertising Association in 1986 and 1988-89. The last part offers profiles of advertising self-regulation as practiced in thirty-eight countries--including such leading nations as Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. An appendix includes samples of key codes as well as various evaluations of the practice of advertising self-regulation around the world.

Marketing in plain English.......2007-01-12

I have to admit upfront that I purchased this book solely because a segment of one of its chapters solidified my position about the use of sans serif text in my company's global advertising. I am a marketing manager for a flooring manufacturer, but I do not have a marketing degree. Therefore, I read books and articles to supplement my on the job knowledge and experience. Principles of Advertising is a plain English, example-rich source book for current advertising ideas. It is also interspersed with insets called Global Perspectives and Ethics Tracks which compare U.S. advertising to other countries, and the ethics (or lack of ) found in advertising respectively. I find that I refer to it frequently in my day to day business for new and fresh ideas, and it does not bog you down with lofty rhetoric. I highly recommend it.

hi carla.......2000-04-29

Carla Johnson writes a riveting perspective on advertising. And that doesnt even tie in to the fact that shes almost like a grandma to me.I'd just like to thank her for being a wonderful author and friend. Sadly though, she's my only claim to fame. You go girl, Luv always, Dani

Leading Edge Supply Chain.......2006-03-02

After training under Hau Lee at Stanford's Global Supply Chain Management forum, I picked up a copy of this book as further reading. This is an excellent compilation of papers written by a veritable "who's who" list of leading supply chain authors such as David Simch-Levi, Hau Lee, Warren Haussman and Seungjin Whang to name just a few.

The book takes you from core concepts and emerging practices through to the state-of-the-art in supply chain design and operation including e-commerce and web-enabled collaboration and reinforces the concepts presented with case studies and examples. Highly recommended to the strategist, manager and practitioner with an already strong background in the basics of supply chain operations.

Book Description

IT solutions from the leading edge

Information technology promises much but, as many businesses are finding, it often fails to deliver. Representing the new wave of thinking about I.T., this thought-provoking collection assembles leading researchers from four continents, including Dan Robey, Robert Zmud, Claudio Ciborra and Robert Benjamin. Writing with deep knowledge of both I.T. and business, they persuasively argue for the integration of the core business unit and the I.T. function, advocate a new role for I.T. professionals, stress the importance of managing outcomes rather than process, and provide practical guidelines for turning new ideas into new management practices.
