Regional and Local Economic Analysis for Practitioners: Fourth Edition
Avrom Bendavid-Val Manufacturer: Praeger Paperback ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0275937518 |
Book Description
This is the fourth edition of Avrom Bendavid-Val's classic book that has become a standard for practitioners and students in public administration, urban and regional planning, and regional economics. Last revised in 1983, the work once again provides a comprehensive practitioner-oriented study of the state of the art of regional and local economic development planning, with emphasis on specific project activity arrived at through an analysis of the regional economic context. The book is written in a straightforward style, free of technical terms and jargon, and is suitable for readers without an extensive background in economics, mathematics, or statistics. In addition, all analytical work is presented in a form that can be carried out without the use of vast databases or computers. Bendavid-Val divides his work into five basic parts, each covering a different feature or method of analysis and planning. Part one introduces important aspects of the overall economic and development context within which the methods of regional analysis are used. Parts two, three, and four offer an introduction to common descriptive methods of analysis for use in regional planning, covering aggregate regional analysis, intraregional analysis, and project identification and evaluation. Finally, part five deals with approaches to regional development planning, providing help in selecting the methods that will be most useful in a given situation. A selected bibliography concludes the book. This work contains everything the practitioner or beginning student needs in order to understand what regional and local economic development is all about, as well as to acquire the basic analytical skills to plan for, design, and carry out such a process. Public and academic libraries will find this updated and expanded edition to be a significant addition to their collections, and for students and practitioners in regional planning and development, it will be an essential reference source.

Beyond the Bottom Line: The Search for Dignity at Work
Paula M. Rayman Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0312222823 |
Book Description
Why do so many Americans-working harder and longer and with less security than ever before-question the price of success demanded by today's hot-wired economy? Can you work and still have a life? Paula Rayman says, is yes. In this timely book, she offers a powerful blueprint for transforming the world of work, family, and community that is the downside of our relentlessly competitive culture. In this much-needed wake-up call to corporate America, Rayman shows why companies must go beyond the bottom line to survive and thrive. Drawing on her experience as a leading advocate for a more responsive workplace, she demonstrates how companies can organize for profit, productivity, and the desire of workers for a more rewarding quality of life. In a win-win agenda for changing outmoded organizations, she demonstrates convincingly that all successful transformations create workplaces that respect the need for dignity: security, self-respect, and the time and freedom to care for family and community.Customer Reviews:

The Future Is Knowing Network Marketing
Patrick W. Higgins Manufacturer: Amer Literary Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1561672432 |
Book Description
The book is broken down into four sections:In Part One: Patrick dispels the rumors that have haunted this industry for decades, by giving the reader 5 major reasons "why" network marketing will NEVER fail. This book proves how secure this industry is by comparing network marketing with other leading industries. One thing for sure is, he will remove any skepticism you may have about network marketing.
In Part Two: Patrick teaches the "10 Things" you must be willing to do in order to reach the very top of this industry. This list has been praised by many of the industry's top people. Also in this section, Patrick will challenge you with arguably the best goal setting course in the industry. It's very motivating!
In Part Three: Patrick really gets into the heart and soul of Network Marketing - the products and services. He truly believes the products and services are the backbone of the industry. "Without retailing (sharing) them" he says, "it doesn't matter how great the industry is or how great the compensation plan is, if nothing is being sold, the industry will eventually go broke!" Knowing this Patrick gives the reader a crash course on what the top reps and distributors in this industry do to get to the top 20% echelon.
In Part Four: Patrick shows the reader step by step how to build a huge group of reps! In this section, he teaches how an 18-year-old teenager can easily recruit a 50-year-old executive into his/her group (by utilizing one of the 4 major recruiting approaches). He also teaches to power of geometric progression and how it will play a major role in the reader's life. This is a real eye opener.
