Cultural Internationalism and World Order
Akira Iriye Manufacturer: The Johns Hopkins University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0801866537 |
Book Description
As the nineteenth century became the twentieth and the dangers of rampant nationalism became more evident, people throughout the world embraced the idea that a new spirit of internationalism might be fostered by better communication and understanding among nations. Cultural internationalism came into its own after the end of World War I, when intellectuals and artists realized that one way of forging a stable and lasting international peace was to encourage international cultural exchange and cooperation.
In Cultural Internationalism and World Order, noted historian Akira Iriye shows how widespread and serious a following this idea had. He describes a surprising array of efforts to foster cooperation, from the creation of an international language to student exchange programs, international lecture circuits, and other cultural activities. But he does not overlook the tensions the movement encountered with the real politics of the day, including the militarism that led up to the World War I, the rise of extreme strains of nationalism in Germany and Japan before World War II, and the bipolar rivalries of the Cold War.
Iriye concludes that the effort of cultural internationalism can only be appreciated only in the context of world politics. A lasting and stable world order, he argues, cannot rely just on governments and power politics; it also depends upon the open exchange of cultures among peoples in pursuing common intellectual and cultural interests.

A Unique and Important Approach to International Relations.......2004-03-14
That said, Iriye does not claim that this book is the final word on the subject, only the beginning of a new approach to modern history. His beginning is rewarding, and the approach overdue.

Self Designing Organizations: Learning How to Create High Performance (Addison-Wesley Series on Organization Development)

No shortcuts to Organization Transition.......2000-03-29
The book contains a lot of case studies that seek to clarify and demystify the practical delineation of what it takes for an organization to self-design. It also looks at the components of the design process: gaining knowledge, determining values and diagnosing the organization. It also touches on the "zero-sum" designing in which the design team starts with a blank slate rather than with an already existing organisation. The book also describes the action learning sequence of implementing, assessing and iterating. This reiterates the need for hedging against uncertainity and stresses innovation.
An important part of the book refers to what transition roles and structures are necessary. One chapter is devoted to the special challenge of self-design that entails large-scale change.
The book targets two primary audiences. The first is line managers, who must know how to lead an organisation through the self design process. The second audience is the change agents-OD professionals, consultants, and facilitators-who are resources to organisations that are redesigning themselves.

The Virtuous Cycle of Marketing for and on the Internet.......2000-10-04
Mr. Berst is the author of the leading on-line newsletter, which adds legitimacy to his description of marketing best practices to date for Internet-based businesses. In this book, he describes the best ways that audiences have been developed into long-term business supporters. The book is enlivened by sample pages from many well-known Internet sites. While much of what he writes will not be new to the reader, the way he stitches it together may well be.
The first step is to use a magnet of rich media (such as through television advertising) to attract an audience. He feels that this should precede knowing exactly what you want to do with the audience. In fact, he argues that your offerings should match the audience you are able to attract economically. This is quite contrary to traditional marketing thinking, but certainly worked out well for his example companies, Amazon and Yahoo!
He suggests six familiar elements for making your magnet work:
(1) content that is rich and constantly changing (eBay)
(2) community that adds value to one another (Amazon product reviews)
(3) commerce ("actionable content" -- usually this is something you can buy)
(4) convenience (RealNetworks enables streaming videos and audios from one site)
(5) customization (Yahoo! and Excite)
(6) communication (CD Now)
Second, you should use spiral marketing to retain your audience with enriched media and the Web. Rich media (like television) creates the intent. Then your Web site creates involvement. You use "opt-in" e-mail to create interaction. That interaction then leads to commerce for your business. Done properly, each element reinforces the next one, creating a virtuous cycle of prosperity for your business.
Third, you do as much permission e-mail as your audience is aided by and appreciates. This should focus on time-sensitive material, information that people will want to refer to again and again, and a format that is fun and free. Mr. Berst's newsletter uses all of these methods. He sites Guru as a site that fits this pattern.
The final element of the model is to predict which technology trends will impact your business. While the preceding information will probably seem like old hat to most Web veterans, this section contained much that was new. I found it to be the best discussion of how to evaluate competing future technologies that I have seen in print. If you only read chapter 7 on this subject, you will be well rewarded for your efforts in acquiring and using this book. You will gain a paradigm for evaluating technologies in this chapter that will serve you well for the rest of your life.
After you have finished reading the book, let me suggest that you think about how the model could be employed in less expensive ways. Television advertising is especially expensive. Why not do event marketing using your own events or by sponsoring other people's events? Creating fresh material is very expensive. How can you use your community to do it inexpensively for you? You get the idea, I'm sure. As wonderful as best practices have been, there's always a gigantic opportunity for improvement. Although Mr. Berst did not look too hard at that question, you certainly can.

The Quistclose Trust: Critical Essays
Manufacturer: Hart ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1841134120 |
Book Description
"The so-called Quistclose trust probably represents the single most important application of equitable principles in commercial life." (Lord Millett in the foreword to this book).The decision of the House of Lords in Twinsectra v Yardley has refocused attention on the Quistclose trust. Although accepted by insolvency lawyers as a convenient tool for corporate rescue, the precise basis of the trust has always been in doubt. The purpose of these essays is to explore the foundations of the trust and subject them to a searching analysis.
