Book Description

While taking account of the more cautions e-business climate, Matt Haig challenges his readers with his contention that a well-thought-out e-strategy is no longer a luxury but a necessity. In his acclaimed pragmatic and readable style, he puts the emphasis on cost-effectiveness and gives realistic advice that is relevant to both small and large businesses. This book takes the reader through the key stages in developing a plan for using the Internet for competitive advantage and growth based on the company`s goals, objectives, competitive environment and culture, such as: the technology required; e-security; your e-brand; pricing and making money; promotion/marketing techniques; measuring return on investment and lots more. Taking a global perspective, this succinct, frills-free guide not shows businesses how to attract global online audiences but also includes lots of real-life global case studies and opinion.

Book Description

The first edition of International Negotiation became a best-selling classic in the field of global conflict resolution. This second edition has been substantially revised and updated to meet the challenges of today's complex international community. Developed under the direction of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, this important resource contains contributions from some of the world's leading experts in international negotiation, representing a wide range of nations and disciplines. They offer a synthesis of contemporary negotiation theory, perspectives for understanding negotiation dynamics, and strategies for producing mutually satisfactory and enduring agreements that is particularly relevant in these times.

Customer Reviews:

This book delivers ........2007-02-08

This book gives you what it says it offers: insights in international negotiation. It is not a book you read in one greedy gulp, but in
exciting chapters about as diverse subjects as international diplomacy, scientific analyses of processes of negotiation, multicultiural aspects of conflict resolution etc.
This book has recently been updated and that makes it a valuable contribution to that small stack of true, as in rich and multifacetted, handbooks.

A Great Book--Truthful, Challenging, AND Entertaining!.......2001-04-22

I just recently finished this book, and all I can say is "WOW!" Jeff Gunhus writes in a very straightforward, down-to-earth style that is very conversational. It's like having a wise older friend show you the ropes in life.

Filled with inspiring quotes, the book made me excited about life and about career choices. Having grown up a great deal in the past few years out of college (I'm 25), pretty much everything Gunhus wrote rang true for me. Trust me, you younguns' still in college can USE THIS BOOK! If I had read it, it might have saved me from a lot of heartache and depression, upon graduating from university with a 3.8 GPA and being totally unable to find a job in my field (that challenged and motivated me.)

This book is a great investment. It's very inspirational, and gets you excited about life. Most importantly, YOUR LIFE. Mr. Gunhus pulls no punches. He makes it clear to the reader that if you want success and happiness, YOU MUST PURSUE IT. Cuz it ain't gonna just come to you, folks! That perfect job isn't gonna come a'knockin' on your door!

One of the most useful parts of the book to me was the section on resumes and cover letters. You must be tenacious and direct in order to get a job these days. BUY THIS BOOK and you'll be on your way!

PS: I also thought the first book reviewer wasn't too wise. I think Mr. Gunhus' book title is amusing and truthful. That other "parachute" book was boring to me, a young person.

Help for the confused graduate.......2001-04-10

As I get closer to graduation I have some serious concerns about what comes next: Do I go straight to graduate school? Do I get a job, but what kind? Do I do both? No Parachute Required has given me the inspiration to grab my diploma and then take charge of my life. I now feel I have the tools I need to turn what I learned in class into something meaningful for my future. I only wish I had read this book a few years ago, while I was still in school ... I think I would have done a few things differently.

A career services professional's viewpoint.......2001-04-07

It seems that the Library Journal review of Jeff Gunhus's "No Parachute Required" is rather mean-spirited, to say the least. It is seldom that one reads a book review in which the reviewer cannot cite any merit to the piece, and that makes one uneasy. The reviewer seems to take particular offense to the title and marketing, which she sees as a jab at the fine work of Richard Bolles, a motivator and guru with decades of experience. Perhaps it can be argued that the title slyly acknowledges Bolles as the standard.

I am a recently retired veteran of a thirty-year career in student advising and employer relations, including positions as Assistant Dean/Director of Career Services at UCLA, Southwestern University School of Law, and Loyola Law School. I have never met Mr. Gunhus, but was asked by him, via telephone, to look over an early draft and was subsequently contacted by the publisher to make a statement on an advance proof. I therefore feel qualified to speak about the unfairness of a cranky reviewer and, more importantly, able to state that the book has considerable merit. It is a book that speaks to its own generation, and that is one of its strengths. It is a young man's book about young people interested in entrepreneurial and creative careers, and the plain need to earn a paycheck, and it speaks forcefully and well.

Like most business-side writers, as opposed to academics or career services professionals, Mr. Gunhus speaks about his business and the lessons from that work. This seems valid enough. His use of quotes is a common motivational technique, and any quote-adverse reader can ignore the insets easily enough. I found them to be well-chosen when I read the final piece.

College grads and twenty- or thirty-somethings considering business or creative work frequently fall into passivity and confusion. This is understandable because of the complexity of choices, and the increased anxious parental pressures. Mr. Gunhus's enthusiasm about goal-setting and having faith in oneself is energizing to read. Perhaps this quality is what struck the Library Journal reviewer as excess, but the examples she presents of the author's advice seem to misrepresent his viewpoint.

The sharp sword of a book reviewer completing a critique by indicating that it is nap time for her may be a shade too trite, even harsh, to make some entirely trust her good faith as a critic. "No Parachute Required" is solid, standard career-planning and job-search material from a pleasing and lively author. It should be appealing to the under-35 audience without a childhood job dream in place. In this reviewer's opinion, it is well-written prose and should sell extremely nicely to the intended audience.

For a very young working man to research and draft a book, sell it to a publisher, and have a highly competitive piece in a saturated career-guide market is reason enough to trust his advice and purchase and read the book.

If you are in College you need to read this now !.......2001-04-06

The Job market is slowing down. Getting rich out of college is a myth. Gunhus's book helps prepare students for the reality of job hunting and helps them package themselves for the future.

Most Cutting Edge Career Insight Ever!!!!.......2001-04-05

Tired of mundane career jargon? Then jump into No Parachute Required!!! I loved its every page as I found a truer view of not only getting a job, but also getting a lifestyle that I love living. Don't buy this book if you want to sit in a cubicle for the next 15 yrs. Only buy this book if you want to step outside the box of a normal job search and into an open world of opportunity.

Intelligent & interesting guide to do-it-yourself marketing.......2000-04-18

I first bought George Breen's book, "Do It Yourself Marketing" back in the early 80's. It's still on my shelf of reference books.

It's an interesting and helpful book that demystifies marketing research. It's filled with common-sense advice, it's well-written, and it's easy to read. A home run!

From the supplier: Computer and equipment malfunctioning caused by the computers' year 2000 date change problem is expected to increase the number and the number of visits of retailers in hardware stores. Hence, hardware retailers are advised to stock several products that will be in-demand such as kerosene heaters, flashlights, generators, camping stoves and batteries. However, they should also not forget to prepare for potential problems the millenium bug may bring. Hardware retailers are reminded to make the computer systems they use Y2K compliant.

From the supplier: Outdoor Power Equipment Institute Inc reports sales increase for lawn and garden products mostly with house purchases exhibiting the strongest growth. Aging baby boomers are to be credited for their penchant for backyarding and willingness to spend more for quality. As home centers dethrone hardware stores, companies such as Ace Peninsula Hardware and McAuliffe True Value gear up by expanding their services to accommodate the demands. The trend, it seems, is towards a complete store offering not only outright purchases and repairs but also equipment rentals.

This approach, called market basket analysis, can help retailers manage their merchandising, advertising and marketing strategies more effectively and profitably.

From the supplier: One way in which home improvement retailers can boost sales is understanding consumer preferences and behavior of the next generation of consumers, those belonging to the X and Y generations. One source of information is the 'House/Works: A Study of the New American Homeowner,' a research conducted by NFO Research Inc for Owens Corning. The study reveals several helpful and interesting data about home improvement activities of Generations X and Y.
