      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.

      5 out of 5 stars A Book of Business for Women of All Ethnic Backgrounds .......2005-09-27

      I came across this book in one of my many sessions of surfing for books on Amazon. This book is worth more then 5 stars! It is an easy read and the ladies give you so much information in a simple format. If you have any spiritual leanings and know anything about the law of attraction I suggest getting this book in conjunction with "Attracting Perfect Customers." This second book helps you really flesh out a mission/vision statement for your business and is also written by women.

      5 out of 5 stars Thinking about starting a business, this is the book for you.......2005-01-22

      Don't let the title deceive you because it really should have been called "Entrepreneurship for Dummies." It explains everything you need to know about launching a company but didn't even know to ask. A must read before you start writing your business plan.

      5 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Women Business Owners.......2004-08-20

      Don't be fooled by the title of this book. This is not another "networking" book or a simple "how to start a small business" book. It is also not a feminist propaganda disguised within a business development manual. If you are serious about starting, expanding, or reinventing your business consider reading this book. If you are a woman, definitely read this book!

      From page one, the angels (read the book to understand why I refer to them as angels) who wrote this book make some basic assumptions: the reader is interested in paving a way in the business world, the reader has the drive to make their dreams come true, and the reader has passion, vision, a pioneering spirit, and the tenacity to make it happen.

      But be prepared for lots of hard work. This isn't a read me and set me on the bookshelf type of book. The toolkit provided in the appendix (58 pages) includes checklists, to dos, and touch questions that need to be addressed. The Digging Deeper sections in each chapter provide expanded definitions of important concepts and the Summaries at the end of each chapter provide an easy way to review the important points.

      Thanks to all that made this book a reality! It has a permanent place on my desk as I move my business to the next step and is already highlighted and dog-eared.

      5 out of 5 stars A book every woman business owner should read........2004-03-20

      This book is jam packed with advice on every page. The inspirational stories give insight on "how it is done" as well as showcase highly successful women entrepreneurs; the tool kit provides a useful blueprint to follow right down to sample legal forms; and the down to earth style makes it easy for women just starting a business to easily follow along. That is not to say seasoned women business owners will not benefit from reading the book to take their business to the next level with the "how to's" spelled out for you.

      5 out of 5 stars The Good Old Girls' Network.......2003-10-08

      Ok..Close your eyes. What would the world look like if women had access to capital markets and economic empowerment? It would look far different and we know it. Now close your eyes and cultivate that business concept that stops you working for a paycheck and gets you into that morphic, entrepreneurial state. Please feel free to move forward and change the world with confidence. Why? Because these authors, these mentors, these thoughtful women have shown up and delivered a superior "play by play" manual. This manual includes all the tools and examples you will need to get started, stay strong, and finish first. Make no mistake, these women are out to change the economic environment for all women. What legacy will you leave the women in your life? Buy the book, and cultivate your dream to life!

      Book Description

      The continued growth of e-commerce mandates the emergence of new technical standards and methods that will securely integrate online activities with pre-existing infrastructures, laws and processes. Protocols for Secure Electronic Commerce, Second Edition addresses the security portion of this challenge. It is a full compendium of the protocols for securing online commerce and payments, serving as an invaluable resource for students and professionals in the fields of computer science and engineering, IT security, and financial and banking technology. The initial sections provide a broad overview of electronic commerce, money, payment systems, and business-to-business commerce, followed by an examination of well-known protocols (SSL, TLS, WTLS, and SET). The book also explores encryption algorithms and methods, EDI, micropayment, and multiple aspects of digital money. Like its predecessor, this edition is a general analysis that provides many references to more technical resources. It delivers extensive revisions of previous chapters, along with new chapters on electronic commerce in society, new e-commerce systems, and the security of integrated circuit cards.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent book on e-payment systems.......2000-05-18

      This title contains excellent explanation on protocols of various types of electronic payment systems. The contents are not limited to well-known protocols such as SSL and SET (even these are explained clearly)-- the authors succeeded in writing on almost all payment systems from today's systems of banks and EDI to cryptographic protocols including micropayment (NetBill, Millicent, Mondex, etc.) and some digital moneys. Also mechanisms of integrated circuit cards are included. Most protocols are clearly described with many charts. If you want to be familiar with electronic payment systems, this book is a must.

          3 out of 5 stars As stated, a dry read, but useful reference........1999-11-11

          I would agree with the other reviewers that the book is a dry read, but I found it to be a useful reference manual.

          1 out of 5 stars Like a dry textbook with useless data and specs.......1999-06-25

          Not recommended.

          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.

          1 out of 5 stars is is worth the money?.......1999-06-17

          I don't know whether this book adds much to the specs of SET that are publicly available available on the web.

          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.

                    5 out of 5 stars Must Read if you are headed to Australia for over 3 weeks.......2004-06-10

                    I came across this book almost by accident and I was surprised by how easy to read and useful it is.
                    The prices and costs may not be up to date but these can be determined by surfing the net. Well worth the price and the effort.
                    Like I said, a must - read for anyone headed to Australia for over 3 weeks.

                    Bear in mind however that this version has not been updated for a few years.

                    5 out of 5 stars Survival Handbook for New Australian Immigrants!.......2000-09-13

                    I truly enjoyed reading this book as I was able to learn the most essential aspects of living and working in Australia. This book features great advice on how to prepare yourself for the big move "Down Under", and what to expect from this new country. It also gives you a reality check on life in Australia as a new immigrant with all the challenges one must face. I really enjoyed the detailed list of "Aussie Real Estate Jargon" as I will need to refer to it when I will be looking for an apartment in Sydney. There are so many useful and practical information and advice in this book such as tips on how to find a job. This book has given me the confidence to move to Sydney as I feel prepareed and armed with the right information needed to make a good start Down Under. I have also read others books on "Living and Working in Australia", and this book is the best so far as it has the highest quality of content compared to the other ones.

                        Book Description

                        The development of Sunkist Growers is one of agriculture's success stories of the 19th and 20th centuries. A pioneer among federated farmer cooperatives, its accomplishments have encouraged cooperative development both at home and abroad. This publication contains information about the Sunkist organization and the scope of its operations. Sunkist has long been recognized as an organization whose efforts merit study by other groups interested in agricultural cooperation.

                        This publication should be helpful to those organizing or operating farmer cooperatives, regardless of the commodities handled, size of organization, or geographic location. The underlying reasons for the beginnings of Sunkist, because of their varied nature, are particularly important.

                        The appendix includes full text of a number of legal documents which will be useful to persons organizing a cooperative.

                            Despite few successful reference implementations and exorbitant capital and human costs, site operators and marketers alike continue to believe in the myth of full-bore Web site personalization: an automated, black-box solution to individualizing visitor experience, thus driving customer satisfaction and site value. Companies must rethink personalization, and pursue lower-cost alternatives.

                              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.

Online Market Research is a valuable collection of this data, and you couldn't find anyone better qualified than John Lescher to teach you the tricks of the trade. Don't worry if either the Internet or Market Research is a foreign realm to you. John Lescher does a beautiful job of making both easy to comprehend, with step-by-step examples that show you precisely how to work though the research process.

                                    1 out of 5 stars This is a 1995 book, out of date. Amazon should be ashamed.......1999-02-07

                                    Anyone looking for the latest information about online market research should look elsewhere. I bought this book from amazon, and when I sat down to read it, I was dismayed to see how out-of-date it was. For example, recent advances in online survey research are not covered.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Good general purpose research handbook for online sources........1996-07-11

                                    Many research texts for business and the social sciences discuss secondary research sources. However, most, if not, all texts written in the past few years have had their chapters on this important subject invalidated by the the explosion of resources on the World Wide Web. Online Marketing Research is an excellent book to augment research texts used in academe or outdated research methods used by most businesses. The author also points out though that many of the "paid" resources such as Dialog, Nexis and Lexis, etc. still offer the highest quality information. This book is well worth the modest price.

                                        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.

                                          Trade integration contributes substantially to economic development and poverty alleviation. In recent years much progress was made to liberalize the trade regime, but customs procedures are often still complex, costly and non-transparent. This situation leads to misallocation of resources.

                                          Customs Modernization Handbook provides an overview of the key elements of a successful customs modernization strategy and draws lessons from a number of successful customs reforms as well as from customs reform projects that have been undertaken by the World Bank. It describes a number of key import procedures, that have proved particularly troublesome for customs administrations and traders, and provides practical guidelines to enhance their efficiency. The Handbook also reviews the appropriate legal framework for customs operations as well as strategies to combat corruption.
