The Old Girls' Network: Insider Advice for Women Building Businesses in a Man's World

ASIN: 073820806X Release Date: 2003-08-12 |
Book Description
For women, by women, a sassy soup-to-nuts guide to entrepreneurship in a male-dominated business culture.Why is it that 95 percent of all investor financing for new businesses goes to men? Women certainly don't lack viable business ideas or the leadership skills to make them soar, but-as the authors, four highly successful entrepreneurs and investors, explain-female creativity and heartfelt commitment alone don't inspire seed-money decision makers. To persuade these mostly-male panels, a woman needs to present her idea in ways that are proven to "speak to" men. Alas, there is as yet a lack of mentors for would-be female entrepreneurs, no "old girls'" network in place to teach them these skills.
Stopping this gap with wit and hard-won wisdom, The Old Girls' Network divulges the secrets to start-up and funding success and connects women to the resources they'll need along the way. Written with you-can-do-it attitude, The Old Girls' Network includes inspirational and instructive women-in-business stories, self-assessment quizzes, and recommended strategies for every stage of the entrepreneurial process. A veritable start-up Bible, The Old Girls' Network comes complete with a "tool kit" of sample forms, documents, letters, and templates for necessary agreements, ensuring that the next generation of female entrepreneurs will be admitted to the proverbial locker room of business success.

Like its predecessor, this edition is a general analysis that provides many references to more technical resources.

As stated, a dry read, but useful reference........1999-11-11
Like a dry textbook with useless data and specs.......1999-06-25
Sad to say, the book looks like an academic textbook of specifications, definitions, glued together with paragraphs and diagrams. I've seen Internet RFCs and STDs far more informative, interesting and useful than this.
If the book is actually recommended reading to use or implement SET, then SET must be the ISDN [1] of e-commerce! ;-)
Cheerio,
Link.
[1] ISDN: a complex standard designed by a committee to primarily solve committee issues, and not technical issues.
is is worth the money?.......1999-06-17
Furthermore, the book is hard to read due to bad lay out and contains several typos.
I am afraid that this book was published quickly to gain from the hype, but I think, but hope at least, that better books are available on this subject.

Cost-Effective Marketing Research: A Guide for Marketing Managers
Eric J. Soares Manufacturer: Quorum Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0899302785 |
Book Description
Written especially for marketing professionals who need to conduct research on a budget, this book is a practical, efficient guide to market research methods and practices. Based on the author's own experience as a marketing consultant, president of a small manufacturing company, and academic researcher, Cost-Effective Marketing Research emphasizes techniques that offer the quickest, least expensive way to get needed information. In addition, the author presents a wealth of material not found in other marketing research texts, including criteria regarding the use of requests for proposal (RFPs); guidelines for selecting consultants, outside agencies, and statistical software; and practical tips on presenting research findings correctly and persuasively. Organized into eight highly readable chapters, the book begins by exploring the role of research in the decision-making process. Subsequent chapters address the utility and pitfalls of using secondary data and syndicated research; how to conduct effective surveys, the proper use of depth interviews and focus group techniques; ethnography and quantitative observations of behavior; experimentation; and ways of editing, analyzing, and interpreting data. In the final chapter, Soares describes how to translate research findings into usable input for rational decisions, how to put together a top notch research report, and how to prepare for oral presentation of research findings. Finally, he addresses the critical issues of business competition and marketing research ethics.

Awakening Monster: The Alien Tort Statute of 1789 (Policy Analyses in International Economics)
Gary Clyde Hufbauer , and Nicholas K. Mitrokostas Manufacturer: Peterson Institute ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0881323667 |
Book Description
Within the next decade, 100,000 Chinese class action plaintiffs, organized by New York trial lawyers, could sue General Motors, Toyota, General Electric, Mitsubishi, and a host of other blue-chip corporations in a US federal court for abetting China's denial of political rights, for observing China's restrictions on trade unions, and for impairing the Chinese environment. These plaintiffs might claim actual damages of $6 billion and punitive damages of $20 billion. Similar blockbuster cases are already working their way through federal and state court systems.How could this nightmare scenario become a reality? Because of a little-known, one sentence law enacted in 1789 the Alien Tort Statute (ATS): "The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States."
In this analysis, Hufbauer and Mitrokostas examine the chilling impact the ATS could have on trade and foreign direct investment. They trace its history from the original intent to recent court interpretations, including a look at class-action suits over asbestos and apartheid. They provide an economic picture of the potential scope of ATS litigation, cite the possible collateral damage, and review the impact that ATS rulings could have on global relations. The authors recommend measures Congress should take to limit expansive court interpretations. The study is a must-read for policymakers, international lawyers, and students.
