Book Description
This book gets behind much of the generality about globalization and examines in detail the production of familiar white goods commodities in a range of countries--China, Taiwan and South Korea, South Africa, Brazil and Turkey. It makes a substantive contribution to the understanding of the diffusion of management methods, the role of the state in employee relations, the nature of trade unionism and the impact of social structure on production relations.
Book Description
Since 9/11, business and industry has paid close attention to security within their own organizations. In fact, no other time in modern history has business and industry been more concerned with security issues. A new concern for security measures to combat potential terrorism, sabotage, theft and disruption- which could bring any business to it's knees- has swept the nation. This has opened up a huge opportunity for private investigators and security professionals as consultants. Many retiring law enforcement and security management professionals look to enter the private security consulting market. Security consulting often involves conducting in depth security surveys so businesses will know exactly where security holes are present and where they need improvement to limit their exposure to various threats. The Third Edition of Security Consulting introduces security and law enforcement professionals to the career and business of security consulting. It provides new and potential consultants with the practical guidelines needed to start up and maintain a successful independent practice. This new edition includes updated and expanded information on marketing, fees and expenses, forensic consulting, the use of computers, and the need for professional growth. The useful sample forms will be updated in addition to the new promotion opportunities and keys to conducting research on the Web.
- The only book of its kind dedicated to a ground-up approach to beginning a security consulting practice
- Proven, practical methods to establish and run a security consulting business
- New coverage of utilizing the power of the Internet.

Security Consulting by Charles Sennewald.......2006-08-30
Charles Sennewald is an excellent writer and security consultant with lots of years of private security experience. In preparation for my Certified Protection Professional (CPP) examination, I was required to study several books written by the same author. All of them were very informative. As I am getting ready to retire after almost 30 years of public law enforcement and security, my next book to re-read is Security Consulting as I getting ready to start my own security consulting business: Contreras Associates International in Yuma, Arizona.

Genereic AND specilised, at the same time.......2003-08-31
One of few books about security consulting. It is also a very general walk-through of some of the more practical aspects of starting a consulting business.
Recommended, as it is written in a very straight-talking way, without any mumbo-jumbo or great theories, just pure experience.
Excellent Intro to the Security Business.......2002-10-16
For the individual considering starting a security consulting business, this book is a must have. Sennewald lays out the basic questions facing the new consultant including, pricing your services, billing, relations with customers, etc. His entire text is not only highly readable, it is to the point and clear. This slim volume is packed with useful information and is one that will remain on my professional book shelf.

Customer Reviews:
Do NOT Buy this Book.......2006-11-12
I can only assume that the reviews of this book were written by the author himself or by his family who wrote what he asked him to.
There it nothing to this book!!! I literally got to the end of the book and he kept talking about practicing Mindless Selling and I though he was joking.... What do I practice?!!! I literally went back quickly through the chapters to see if I missed something. I thought maybe I slept through the "good parts". There are no good parts.
I very rarely feel completely cheated when I read a book on sales. They usually rehash some tried and true sales techniques, but I usually come away with some new ideas.
After each page I kept telling myself I would find a new idea and to not give up on the book. When I got to the end of the book I was mad at myself for listening to myself.
Waste of Time.
Eye Opening.......2005-01-24
I was hoping for techniques to help me move beyond the areas in which I always seem to get stuck - stalls, put-offs, long sell cycle, no budget, disinterest, etc. Instead, I found that these events continue to plague me because of me; my discomfort talking about money, self-limiting beliefs, what Kurlan calls Non Supportive Buy Cycle and my tendency to become emotional. Well, it's been several months since I devoured this life changing read and my results illustrate the impact that this book had. I have shortened my sell cycle, increased my margins, eliminated the stalls and put-offs, my sales are up 432% over the same time last year. I have not incorporated a single new technique but I have dramatically changed the way I think about selling, my part in the process and my expectations as to what should happen. No longer do I feel like I am resigned to wait for outcomes because I now control my own destiny. Thank you Dave Kurlan!
Mike Williams.......2005-01-22
Dave gets to the core of what makes a salesperson successful. With clear, concise language. He gives powerful insights into what makes sales people successful. More importantly, he gives guidelines to help get you past the obstacles holding you back from true greatness. Worthy of a sixth star in your rating system.
If only I had known this stuff before.......2005-01-22
I wish I had read this book 10 years ago! Kurlan's book helped me to understand the reasons why I got the outcomes I did when it came to my selling activites. More importantly, it has helped me overcome the weaknesses I had and has allowed me to start reaching my potential both personally and financially. Nothing tricky or fancy, just straightforward insight that goes directly to the root of the problem.
Simple Sage Sales Advise.......2005-01-21
Dave Kurlan's book is a breath of fresh air. Unlike most books on sales, Dave writes about why selling is so difficult. He offers practical skills and techniques along with valuable lessons on the biggest problem in sales, ourselves. Well worth reading if you are serious about succeding as a sales professional.

Customer Reviews:
So good I'd use it to teach a class!.......2002-10-10
This book is full of fun and informative exercises, cartoons, charts, checklists, boxes, little asides, and surveys presented in an easy-to-read format.
If I ever decide to teach a marketing class I'm going to use this book as the text.
The content is good; in some places it's excellent.
Two excellent worksheets focus on charting who your customers are & where your sources of business come from.
One of the best worksheets is "Worksheet for Potential Customers." It takes up an entire page and is the best way I've seen to target each group of your potential customers and decide how you will market to each of them.
Another idea made easy is putting together a `sound bite.' Some people call it your 30-second commercial. King's step-by-step instructions make it a very easy exercise to do.
King also mentions "The Brand Called YOU" a concept that promotes making * yourself * the brand. You = your business in the sense that customers aren't buying your product or service, so much as they're buying you. This also works when you're selling yourself as an employee.
FAST COMPANY magazine spent a good part of an issue in Aug/Sept 1997 on this and I'm surprised that King's book is the only marketing book where I've ever seen it mentioned. The idea was (is?) so radical Fast Company gave it a separate web site.
Indispensable.......2002-04-30
I've looked at and browsed through many marketing books, but this is the first one I've been comfortable with. King does an extraordinary job of making it all look simple, and I have to agree!
It's a highly interactive marketing workbook. It encouraged me to use my common sense and what I know about my business to develop simple, effective marketing plans that really seem to work! I was VERY surprised!!!
I also like the way it's written. It's very easy to read, has lots of graphics, and probably 100 or more mini-marketing plans, many of which I was able to put to use right away!
I figure if he's been successful at 6 buinesses, I'll try what he says!
Great book!
This book makes sure I hit the target every time!.......1998-01-09
Before reading Mini-Marketing, my own marketing was like throwing darts at a board: sometimes I hit a bullseye and sometimes I missed the target altogether. This book makes sure I hit the target every time, and that everything I do fits nicely into a strategic plan. I have to admit that I was really shocked that one of the author's simple mini-plans worked so well. He suggested showing customers some gesture of special gratitude, so on a lark I brought one of them donuts and muffins. They have since switched all of their business over to me and have become my largest account! Mini-Marketing has a special place on my bookshelf, and I refer to it constantly!" Andrew Weiss, President Above Discount Companies "Where Savings and Service Connect" 800-599-9646
Be inspired by an entrepreneur who makes dreams happen!.......1998-01-09
Mini-Marketing offers both roots and wings to entrepreneurs. While never losing sight of his clients' dreams, Ron offers a world of simple and clear information that is essential to making those dreams come true. This wonderful book -- marketing his own dreams and practical wisdom -- is an exemplary model of Ron's gift of inspiration and instruction. Read it and be inspired by an entrepreneur who both dreams and makes them happen." Alan Crew Psychologist Concord, NH
Fast-reading, full of great exercises; a real treasure-trove.......1998-01-09
Thank goodness this is different from all those other marketing books which present way too much information to the point that I always feel intimidated and immobilized. This one is fast reading, exciting, full of graphics and fun exercises; a real treasure-trove of excellent marketing insights, tips, and important items not to overlook. King built upon my limited marketing knowledge to the point where I now feel like I really know what I'm doing. Very uplifting! I highly recommend it for both new and veteran business owners." Michelle Dunklee Territory Manager & Marketing Representative Catholic Medical Center boomer@xtdl.com
