Arab Industrialization in Israel: Ethnic Entrepreneurship in the Periphery

Book Description

Arab entrepreneurs in Israel form part of a traditional, yet peripheral, ethnic minority attempting to integrate into Israel's larger economy. This study, based on extensive fieldwork, focuses on the obstacles that these Arab entrepreneurs and new industrialists must overcome in their development towards industrialization. The research exposes a highly flexible entrepreneurial culture making use of a limited set of opportunities and resources. The work makes a strong contribution to comparative cross-cultural research and theoretical formulations on issues of ethnic entrepreneurship.

Simply outstanding.......2003-04-24

Ideal book for all kind of Job hunting letters, one will ever come across, the letters are simple, heartfelt and not academic and dry like written by a school boy.
Some find it novel way of writing job hunting letters.
But effective believe me.

Great Read for a woman on the move.......2007-05-15

This book was so inspiring. I want it all and Mrs. Greenwood shows you that you can do it all without feeling guilty or burned out. A MUST HAVE!

Bootstrapper I am not.......2007-02-23

The book was ok. I really couldn't relate the the bootstrapper mentality she talks about throughout the book. I really don't think anyone can do it alone. She also doesn't think that either but I didn't find that out the the last chapter.

I also thought she put to much emphasis on makeup.

No skipping around with this one!.......2006-08-02

I can't remember reading one self-improvement book where I didn't skip around chapters, until I read this one. While it took me a couple weeks to read this, this book was so interesting and inspirational, I read this cover-to-cover every chapter. Ms. Greenwood is very much on-point with all the topics. I loved the bulleted guidelines for each chapter; so you just couldn't misunderstand what she was trying to say. My only regret is that I got this book from the library, and its definitely 1 to keep on your bookshelf.

Monique Knows What Matters!!!!!!!.......2005-05-10

This book is a blessing!! As I read this book, I felt that Monique was always a step ahead of me, answering questions and cutting off excuses as quickly as they arose in my mind. As a working woman, a wife and a mother of three about to cross the 40-year plateau, this book understood, empathized and encouraged me to aspire higher. Thanks Monique!!

Having What Truly Matters.......2005-01-06

This book should definitely be in any african-american woman's library along with her bible. Learning to step out of your on way and stop blocking your blessings. Ms. Greenwood helps the reader define what is important to them personally. This book put me on the right track.

Resume Power : Selling Yourself on Paper
Tom Washington
Manufacturer: Mount Vernon Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: B000NY7WLI

Book Description

On most continents - from the USA to Africa and Asia - various forms of rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs) serve men and women of the community, often as their major -- and sometimes their only -- savings institution. ROSCAs are self-help money-pooling associations with participants who agree to make regular contributions to a fund which is given, in whole or in part, to each contributor in rotation. Many ROSCAs have elaborate systems to cope with inflation, default and the distribution of benefits. In providing important social and welfare resources they constitute valuable social capital.

This unique volume of case studies by an international group of experts, which examines ROSCAs on a worldwide basis, will be of interest to anyone studying or concerned with anthropology, economics, women's issues, and especially the welfare of the less developed countries and immigrant communities in 'the West'.

O'Keefe is the pro from Dover in Internet publicity.......2004-07-12

This well-written, complte guide to Internet publicity is the culmination of years of experience. Steve O'Keefe has been helping people get online publicity for many years, and he summarizes what he has learned in this outstanding text.

Highly recommended.

Not "best practices" and not always accurate.......2002-04-29

I wanted to like this book. But I was taken aback by the author's attitude toward email campaigns - he says you'll never get anywhere if you don't use opt-out marketing to build a list. People will complain, but you can find an ISP that ignores their complaints. I was also surprised to find him radically misinformed about search engine traffic. Most people who have a web site in a specialized niche find search engines bring them lots and lots of beautifully targeted visitors, but he says that only sites with megabudgets get search engine traffic. His discussion of meta tags is out of date as well. He has some good ideas, but I hope people don't take him as an authority.

Publicity without Walls.......2002-03-06

Steve O'Keefe's first book, Publicity on the Internet, changed the way people in public relations and marketing, particularly those in the publishing industry, publicized and promoted books, companies, products, services and other endeavors on the World Wide Web. For the first time, someone had outlined -- in great detail and with remarkable candor -- what we had to do to take advantage of the Internet's innumerable opportunities for getting "talked about" in cyberspace and, by extension, in our offices, living rooms and places of play. In his new book, Complete Guide to Internet Publicity -- a complete overhaul of his earlier work -- Steve goes several steps further and makes the art of Internet publicity almost a no-brainer for professionals and non-professionals alike. With a host of specific case examples, he tells us how to harness the power of online news rooms, discussion groups, newsletters, chat tours, online seminars, contests and what he calls "syndication" (a great concept unto itself) to develop positive publicity far beyond what most of us could achieve or afford with traditional public relations or direct mail marketing, as important and impressive as these approaches can be in certain circumstances. But the book is far more than a collection of tactics. Most important, it is salted with expert advice and counsel on how to use the Internet wisely. Steve is a practitioner of what he describes, but he is also a teacher who cares about the values of his readers. He wants us to succeed credibly and accountably with our publicity initiatives, not at all costs. Philosophically, he reverses the old maxim, "the end justifies the means." Like Camus, he thinks "the means justify the end." Still and all, the book is a wonderfully practical primer that helps us to concentrate on creativity and substance in generating the kind of publicity that we only dreamed of a few years back. The book is also well-organized, well-written and well-edited, three qualities that make it not only easy to read, but easy to grasp and easy to translate into action. If there is a "best" book on Internet publicity, this has to be the choice hands down.

He did it again.......2002-02-17

When O'Keefe's first book on Internet publicity came out I wrote a long review. Now I'm older and lazier, but thank goodness he isn't. O'Keefe didn't just revise his original book (one of THE best Internet 'how to' books of all time), he's completely
re-written it from scratch. If you need to know the 'nuts and bolts' of how to DO Internet publicity today, you won't find a more useful, up-to-date guide anywhere. In fact, this book is a standard for all 'how to' books. Clear, throrough, detailed,
'battle-tested' and truly useful. Five stars isn't enough.

An Internet Guide For Everyone.......2002-01-23

This book has an approachable, plain English writing style geared to anyone interested in Internet publicity (not just the big corporations). The author includes lots of helpful examples to illustrate his points. Seeing how the pointers, tips, and procedures operate in the real world enables anyone to apply them to his or her business. I already have!
