Book Description
This volume assembles and presents a new database on bank regulation in over 150 countries (included also on CD). It offers the first comprehensive cross-country assessment of the impact of bank regulation on the operation of banks, and assesses the validity of the Basel Committee’s influential approach to bank regulation. The treatment also provides an empirical evaluation of the historic debate about the proper role of government in the economy by studying bank regulation and analyzes the role of politics in determining regulatory approaches to banking. The data also indicate that restrictions on the entry of new banks, government ownership of banks, and restrictions on bank activities hurt banking system performance. The authors find that domestic political factors shape both regulations and their effectiveness.

A must for entrepreneurs.......2006-04-08
A superior book on interpersonal communications, with an emphasis on being persuasive.
The "winning" in the title refers to "winning people over" and to the "win-win" approach that Stettner so energetically advocates.
Proposes a three-step model for effective persuasion: prepare, listen, and then speak. Wisely accentuates the first two stages, which are typically ignored or inadequately addressed by ineffectual persuaders.
Furnishes first-rate material on establishing credibility, employing "the magic of three," listening nonjudgmentally (particularly under less-than-ideal conditions--e.g., when we find the speaker annoying or the message distasteful), asking questions effectively (going well beyond the standard open-versus-closed discussions), and exhibiting enthusiasm.
Highly recommended.
Fascinating, easy-to-use suggestions that really helped me.......2000-02-10
I can honestly say that this book has been a huge help to me in a variety of business situations. I used to dread being selected to run meetings and make client presentations. Stettner's suggestions have given me a lot more confidence and a much stronger ability to organize what I'm saying and make points persuasively. Learning to listen more effectively has also helped me in a number of difficult one-on-one negotiations. Unlike the reader below, I found the book to be well-organized and interesting throughout. Stettner's common-sense approach makes for a refreshingly non-technical read. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Lots of good advice but poorly organized.......1999-10-13
The book is filled with plenty useful advice but it is so poorly organized that its potential effectiveness is marginalized. I had hoped to learn some key strategies and tools to use in a converstation. However, I spent most of my time trying to understand how each little tidbit of advice fit into the bigger picture of actually starting and controlling a conversation. Somewhere amongst all the advise are the key elements to becoming a better communicator but its left to the reader to assemble them into a practical guide to conversation.
A Fine Mastery of Communication Skills.......1999-10-04
I've read many, many books with a somewhat similar topic and I have to truly compliment Mr. Stettner for this one. This book will definitely help you in your daily dealing with people, family members and especially for those working in corporate world. It prepares you and provides pointers that help you strategize your thoughts before speaking. As Mr. Stettner would say "Prepare, Listen and Speak". For my job as a Public Affairs person, I am extremely please with the suggestions in the book. Personally and professional, I value this book as a "wise" investment and one that I will refer back to for a long time.

Action Based Design made reading this book, worth it........2006-04-28
Five principles of Internet success are 1. Internet initiatives are integrated into the fabric of the company's business strategy and do not stand-alone. Internet is a way of doing business and includes marketing, advertising, corporate communications, public relations, legal and regulatory, and customer support. 2. Internet initiatives require commitment and leadership. Top executives need to provide crucial commitment and leadership while developing Internet business models, products, and processes. Leadership empowers and emboldens Internet managers to learn from their mistakes, make changes, adjust to new circumstances, and persevere. 3. Intermediate relationships are growing on the Internet. The middleman numbers are growing. 4. Internet-technology advances are overrated, it is the business advances that matter. Adoption lag is reality and these delays may extend over multiple years. Some companies are reverting back to supporting older browsers because their customer base has not migrated too the new browsers. 5. Partnering brings all the necessary skill levels critical for success too the table. It is often necessary to go outside the company to leverage the necessary talents, resources, and products to accomplish the objectives. The success of most partnerships is in the handoff from the negotiating team to the various operating units. Pick partners who have a good reputation and can teach the company something about being in business.
The Website design should cause a person, an action event. Act event needs short but descriptive questions, easy visual aids, and effectively respond back with relevant information. The response can be comprehensive, verbose, and complex; but the question should be simple, clear, concise, and leading. Most visitors to a website have a goal. The website design needs to help the person reach that goal, conveniently, painlessly, and fast. More personalized the content correlates to increased likelihood of a return visit and reoccurring business.
Virtual communities allow people with common interest to meet, communicate, and share ideas. Understanding the dynamics of virtual communities is emerging as a critical business skill. Virtual communities create linkage between the members and the business trying to gain access to them. Community members can band together, share information, and seek additional benefits. Members engage in "intellectual discourse, conduct commerce, exchange knowledge, share emotional support, make plans, brainstorm, gossip, feud, fall in love, find friends and lose them, play games, flirt, create a light high art and a lot of idle talk."
There are three types of marketing: mass marketing, direct marketing, and collaborative marketing. In mass marketing, product companies promote their image and generate awareness in order to sell more. In direct marketing, companies provide more product information to create more knowledgeable buyers in order to sell more. In collaborative marketing, companies support prospective customers in understanding and evaluating alternatives, and in finding the right product or service to meet their needs-they help prospects to know more, earn their trust, and thereby sell more. There are four types of user participate:
Passives- seeking effortless entertainment or information
Actives-participate enthusiastically in activities and topics created by others
Motivators-create topics and plans activities of interest to other community members
Caretakers-serve as intermediate between community members and community staff members; are usually seasoned Motivators
The distribution is important: 85% of the users are passives, 12% are actives, 2.5% are motivators, 0.5% are caretakers. Total time spent within the community is dominated by the Actives and Motivators and these are the people that create content that attracts the passives. An important goal of community development is to move people from passive readers to active contributors. Direct marketing (DM) to the customer design is too elicit a specific response and capturing the response in a database for future decision-making.
Disappointing.......2000-07-04
After reading the multiple positive reviews for this book, I expected a book that is much more insightful than I found this one. I work for an Internet company, and found this book to be targeted more at Web neophytes, more specifically large businesses without a web presence, but who want some thoughts on how to get started with taking advantage of all of the benefits the Internet can offer their business. Most of its discussions end with Q4 1998, which in Internet time is woefully out of date. I unfortunately found no original insights from this book, and believe that anyone who keeps up with the industry would have a similar experience.
Learn from the leaders in Web commerce!.......2000-01-29
This book is a must read. I value e-business texts that are based on the case studies of successful E-commerce leaders. The 24 leaders who contributed to this book know what the front lines are all about!
Best of Class.......2000-01-01
This book should be required reading for middle and upper management of any company engaged in the eEconomy -- which is just about every one. I haven't seen such a clear, concise, practical and well-informed collection of essays on eCommerce in one place. Highly recommended.
A definite must read!.......1999-10-16
for anyone who is interested in getting into the internet business, as well as those that are in it already.
