Words, words, words........2003-06-28

This book takes nearly 500 pages to say what I think needs less than 100 pages.

Padding is a serious problem with many books.

I'm done!.......2002-12-06

I'm already done Christmas shopping. Like that guy in the commercials. All accomplished within the warm, cozy, friendly confines of home! This is especially excellent when one lives in the Tundra and has obviated the need for shopping forays over the frozen river and through the woods to the mall. Through ice and snow. Barefoot. Uphill both ways, coming and going.

Some information in this book is outdated and you would do better to go through eBay's on-line tutorial and Newbie BB. Still, this book has very helpful additional info. Like its subtitle says: "Bid with confidence, Sell with success." In the beginning of the book, there was (to me, at least,) way too boring text on how to buy or borrow hardware and software to connect one's self to the Internet so as to avail one's self of eBay. You can take a nap or skip that if you're already here and reading this.

So far in my preliminary shopping saga, I have shed the Cheap Sunglasses (which serve to caution other eBayers encountering one so identified: "Newbie alert! Newbie alert! This eBayer has yet to establish recognition!") Mr. Prince's book is helpful and humorous - who wants to read a dry old text, anyway? And even if, like me, you are not a Seller, the "how-to's" for Sellers here help a Buyer understand some of the "tricks of the trade" some Sellers, or even competing Buyers, may use on the unwary. And there's a section on that insidious, ubiquitous Sniping. Yikes! Forewarned is forearmed, and Prince's book gives you what you need for the Battle. Bid on! Reviewed by TundraVision

Great Help.......2002-11-10

This book is very help for some one starting out in on-line auction. And some of things you should do before your even start bidding.

If You've Sold On Ebay, This Isn't For You!.......2001-07-20

I was truly dissapointed in this book. As an Ebay seller with a feedback of over 400, I wanted to find a book that would help me increase my sales and give me some great ideas and resources.

Not only was there no new information in there, it was information that anyone who did any research on their would have already found using the internet and Ebay itself.

Out of all the reviews of all the books about Auctions out there, this one looked like the best for people who were already using Ebay. It's not.

If you're 100% new to Ebay and you don't have time to do a lot of research on your own, it's a great reference. Otherwise, I'd suggest putting the money this book costs into your piggy bank.

BEST EBAY BOOK EVER!.......2000-08-24

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON EBAY EVER! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE. WORTH A LOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY FOR IT. I EVEN EMAILED THE AUTHOR AND HE RESPONDED PROMPTLY. HE ALSO LISTS HIS EBAY ID IN THE BOOK. I GIVE THIS BOOK 5 STARS + 5 MORE.

Book Description

Customer-orientation, customer-centricity, and customer relationship management (CRM) are not new concepts or practices. But information technology has unleashed tremendous opportunities in dealing with a customer and in creating value to the customer. And yet the majority of CRM investments and initiatives fail because firms do not have the appropriate orientation to serving the customer. The principal aim of this book is to get the reader to think about th firm and the way it conducts its business in a certain way--with a customer focus. It is now becoming clearly evident that all firms compete on service. Providing superior service becomes a prerequisite for any differentiation strategy to succeed. To provide superior service for a competitive advantage requires a concrete understanding of what service-orientation means. This orientation, in the form of frame of mind, is essential for the firm to take advantage of opportunities and to address the challenges so as to gain a competitive advantage. For excellent service firms, the challenges and opportunities in providing services are a constant endeavor. For others, these challenges and opportunities are not that obvious. A complementary aim of this book, therefore, is to instill into the reader the principles of managing services.

ASIN: 1853837962

Book Description

This book is for people involved with oil as consumers, competitors, commentators, investors, managers, politicians and regulators. It examines corporate, social and environmental challenges and argues that the chief concern about oil over the next twenty years will be its acceptability, not its availability. The book reviews energy projections, focusing on issues of transportation, oil reserves and growing markets for gas. Traditional 'oil' issues such as security and the restructuring of the industry are re-examined in this context. The final section discusses the consequence of this analysis for the industries concerned, for national governments, and for value-driven non-government groups.

Wonderful Treatment of Important Subject.......2001-07-17

This an excellent study that forms a viewpoint for evaluating the next 20 years of oil and related energy isssues. I'm currently involved in such a study and find the book to be fascinating reading and extremely helpful in framing the possibilities. The focus is on the next twenty years, starting with an evaluation of "conventional wisdom". It then surveys key interest areas: Oil Supply, Transportation, Natural Gas, Prices, Energy Security, and acceptability.

All of the surveys are of high quality - I particularly found myself attracted to the depth of treatment in the natural gas section, and balance in the view taken of acceptability of energy supply. Other topics also treated with great evenness are issues such as oil availability, competing technologies, competition within segments, security, global warming, and social impact. The book ends in an excellent discussion of challenges and choices.

I thank the authors for putting together this very informative and useful review of oil and energy. I also thank Amazon for making this book so available in a timely way.

Book Description

The Pacific is a high growth region, comprising East Asian market economy states, North America, China, Australia and New Zealand. This book examines the area's rapidly expanding pattern of corporate competition and cooperation, which is assisting recoveries from the effects of the East Asian financial crises.

The authors argue that the uneven but dynamic integration in the Pacific region which was disrupted by the financial crises is continuing in ways that promise resumptions of higher interdependent growth when fundamental adjustments have been completed. They emphasize that the regional recovery could be assisted by innovative new efforts to promote wider ranging cooperation in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC), which is committed to regional trade and investment liberalization over the next decade.
