      Book Description

      It's a business truism nowadays that electronic commerce is a volatile, rapidly changing landscape. Despite recent discouraging trends, the fact remains that e-commerce is an integral force in business that must be reckoned with. Current research, however, has been limited to several narrow approaches, such as documenting economic performance, describing business models, and generating new applications and technologies. Charles Steinfield calls instead for an examination of how e-commerce influences fundamental relationships between consumers and firms, across firms, and between firms and the larger society in which they operate. New Directions in Research on E-Commerce offers an international group of scholars and practitioners representing eight countries at the cutting edge of electronic commerce. The essays are divided into four basic topics: understanding consumer responses to Internet stores; market structure and business-to-business e-commerce; e-commerce and industry structure case studies; and social and policy concerns in e-commerce. Collectively, they will help researchers, business leaders, and policy makers to arrive at informed, stable approaches to an essential facet of contemporary life.

          2 out of 5 stars No support!.......2003-05-04

          The book is well written and organized. However, the software that came with the book (one of the main reasons I ordered the book) was difficult to use and had little to no support. I am a software engineer and could not get some of the programs to run after installation. Also, the websites that were listed for troubleshooting help were no longer valid.

          5 out of 5 stars My #1 Pick for Online Job-Search.......2000-03-11

          As the author of a book on resume writing and president of a firm that specializes in job search services, I am always looking for good resources to add to my library and to recommend to clients. "Jump Start" is my #1 pick for online job-search.

          For many job seekers, the prospect of online job search can be daunting. JumpStart Your Online Job Search takes the "daunts" and doubts out of the process! I love the way Pat has taken the "hugeness" of the Internet and broken it down into manageable pieces. I found her ideas for researching jobs and developing keyword lists to be sound advice (I learned some great little tricks myself!).

          Especially helpful is the CD that comes with the book (contents are also printed in the appendices) AND her companion sites: where job seekers can get current job-search links and develop a Web resume (the process is fully automated -- you don't have to know a line of HTML!).

          Pat was one of the first in the job-search industry to recognize the possibilities of the Internet and has been online since the mid-1990's . . . cumulatively, her thousands of hours online shine throughout this book. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to master the maze of the Internet!

          4 out of 5 stars 101 law forms.......2007-06-12

          It was recomended, but did not cover the area i need. Not the books fault.

          5 out of 5 stars Another quality title from Nolo that is worth every penny.......2007-04-05

          Nolo Press was founded on the principle that not all legal transactions require retention of a lawyer. Many straightforward documents can be drafted and completed with the aid of a Nolo title sich as 101 Law Forms for Personal Use. This book, co-authored by attorneys, is divided into chapters on childcare and elder care, estate planning, will execution, landlord/tenant documents, financial documents, home ownership, personal property sales and rentals, home repair, living agreements, personal finances, consumer rights, and legal disputes. The forms are available in tear-out form and in a rich text format on CD-ROM. The rich text forms are perfect for editing and modification--one can delete and add clauses as necessary to customize the forms. I use this reference monthly for rental agreements, to draft complaint letters, and personal financial and consumer transactions. The language on the forms is simple and to-the-point.

          This book is a steal at the cover price of $29.99, and Amazon regularly offers it at 30% off. Don't waste your time with software packages from the office supply store. Buy this quality product from a 35-year-plus leader in legal self-help advice. You stand to save hundreds or thousands of dollars in legal fees by doing this groundwork yourself. Nolo is quick to point out when situations get too complex for their simple forms, so be sure to heed the book's advice about turning to a lawyer if your situation warrants attention beyond the scope of the book.

          These are simple law forms, and Nolo offers books which go into more detail on subjects such as landlord/tenant agreements and wills. While everyone should have this reference item in the home library, if you are planning to seriously set up your estate and trusts, or work part-time as a landlord, you should pick up one of the titles that goes into more depth on those specific subjects.

          5 out of 5 stars Great Title.......2003-07-04

          This book is fantastic. There is a wealth of useful forms for everything you can imagine. I recieved this book as a gift and though that it would just take up space on my bookshelf. Ironically it has been the most referred to and used book I have ever owned. I have used the book to set up a power of attorney, prepare a tenants notice to move out, demand the return of a security deposit, complete a loan comparison worksheet, and to sell my dog. This book provides the forms and the explanation to do eveything I mentioned as well as a ton of other common transactions. It has saved me hundreds of dollars and I beleive that anyone who buys this book will cover the cost of the book within three months by making use of the forms and instructions provided.

          5 out of 5 stars A must have for an intelligent frugal like myself.......2003-07-03

          This book was terrific. If you have half a brain and like to save money this book is a must have. It contians almost every essentail form that you will need and it explians what they are and how to use them in a clear and concise way that even my nine year old niece could understand. And I guarantee that you will rely on this thing at least once a year for the rest of your life it is just that useful.

          5 out of 5 stars 101 LAW FORMS FOR PERSONAL USE.......2000-05-16

          I PERSONALLY FOUND THE BOOK TO BE VERY USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE. IT WAS EASY TO USE AND IT WILL ALLOW ANYONE, YES EVEN SOME ONE WHO HAS NEVER WRITTEN A LEGAL DOCUMENT BEFORE, TO MAKE THERE OWN IN NO TIME AT ALL. i WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO BE A DEST REFERENCE FOR LEGAL SECRETARIES JUST STARTING OUT AND TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS A DOCUMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO DO IT THERE SELF.

              Book Description

              Integrating control theory, evolutionary psychology, and a hierarchical approach to personality, this book presents a new approach to motivation, personality, and consumer behavior. Called the 3M, which stands for `Meta-theoretic Model of Motivation', this theory seeks to account for how personality traits interact with the situation to influence consumer attitudes and actions. The book proposes that multiple personality traits combine to form a motivational network that acts to influence behavior. Mowen argues that in order to understand the causes of enduring behavioral tendencies, one must identify the more abstract traits underlying surface behaviors.
              In constructing the 3M model, the author reports data from fifteen empirical studies employing over 3500 respondents. In this hierarchical model, four types of personality traits are identified: elemental, compound, situational, and surface traits. Eight elemental traits are proposed as forming the underlying dimensions of personality. Consistent with control theory, the research reveals that the elemental traits combine to form compound traits, such as self-efficacy, task orientation, playfulness, and competitiveness. These elemental and compound traits combine with situational influences to cause enduring behavioral tendencies within general situational contexts. Examples of situational traits investigated include impulsive buying, value consciousness, sports interest, and health motivation.
              In the 3M model the elemental, compound, and situational traits combine to yield surface traits, which are enduring dispositions to act in specific behavioral contexts. Five surface traits are empirically investigated in the book: compulsive buying, sports participation, healthy diet lifestyles, proneness to bargaining, and a tendency to frugality. Across these five studies, the empirical results reveal that the 3M model accounts for over 44% of the variance in the surface trait measures. By presenting a new meta-theory of motivation and personality that is testable, Mowen's 3M model accounts for high levels of variance in consumer behavior. By integrating the work of selected past and current theorists into a comprehensible whole, the 3M model provides coherence in a field currently dominated by conflicting ideas, theories, and approaches. The book provides evidence that by understanding the individual dispositions that underlie consumer behavior, public policy officials and marketing specialists can develop better communication programs to influence and persuade their target audiences. The book shows how to employ the 3M model to segment the marketplace, provide psychographic inventories, position brands, create promotional themes, and develop brand personalities.

                      1 out of 5 stars Classic Ignorance.......2003-09-12

                      This book does contain some practical information for travel in Afghanistan but it is difficult to be patient enough to wade through the [fluff] in order to get to the useful material. The commentaries on Afghan culture are negative and condescending. Unfortunately there is not much else available on the topic.
