Для успешного ведения бизнеса одних только товаров уже недостаточно, как утверждают авторы этой книги. Потребители, уставшие от стандартизированной продукции, стремятся получить товар, созданный специально для них, да еще соответствующий их внутреннему миру. Поэтому, по мнению авторов, в настоящее время зарождается новая экономика – экономика впечатлений, ориентированная на ощущения потребителя. В контексте этой экономики авторы предлагают отказаться от традиционных отношений между компанией и клиентами; вместо этого компания должна стать «режиссером впечатлений», а клиенты – «зрителями» или «гостями». В книге рассматриваются принципы успешной постановки впечатлений, а также театральные приемы, которые может использовать компания. Большое внимание уделяется чрезвычайно эффективному инструменту повышения потребительской ценности – массовой персонализации, а также формам потребительской уступки.

The ultimate playbook for using artificial intelligence to communicate effectively, build teams, and win customers Not long ago, we imagined a hyper-connected world full of trust and openness—a world where effortless communication would bring about a new understanding between people everywhere. Judging from our current environment, this vision of the future may have been overly optimistic. With infinite channels and countless voices flooding them with messages, most people have become highly skeptical and guarded by necessity. As a result, communication is much harder than ever before. Despite the unprecedented connectivity enabled by modern technology, we are far less likely to trust and to invest the time needed to build strong relationships. How can we use technology to reverse this trend? A groundbreaking new branch of artificial intelligence—Personality AI—may be the answer. Combining traditional machine learning, data analytics, and behavioral psychology, Personality AI helps professional communicat…

All of us know that users of the Web do not read advertisements on the websites we visit, yet the online communities are emerging as the next great media rely solely on this method to produce revenue. In The Social Network Business Plan, social network expert, David Silver presents and explains 18 cutting-edge methods to create revenue for social network websites–none of which are advertising. He also predicts the demise of seemingly successful online communities such as MySpace and Facebook that rely on advertising as non-sustainable modalities. Silver describes and explains that in the future new products and services will be introduced, talked about, rated, reviewed and recommended – or killed – by online communities. One example of the 18 new revenue channels that online communities are adopting is the sale to vendors of anonymized conversations of the community members concerning those vendors' products or services. Another example is online communities who partner with the internet providers to rece…
Gain a deeper understanding of Asian financial reporting and how to detect irregularities The Asian region, and particularly China, is becoming a hotbed of investment activity.

A behind-the-scenes look at Lexus’s surprising twenty-year success story—in a revised new edition In the 1980s, German brands BMW and Mercedes-Benz dominated the luxury car market and had little reason to fear competition from Japan.

Under IFRS, U.S. GAAP, and the SEC rules and regulations, business enterprises must recognise measure and disclose information regarding equity items on the face of the statement of financial position, other specific statements, or in the notes to the financial statements.

This book clarifies the process of reporting stockholders’ equity in a manner which can be reconciled under all the relevant standards. “Not only has the author addressed the informational needs of the players in the accounting industry, he has also drawn, based on his vast experience, practical implications of reporting under both standards.” —Noraini Mohd Nasir, Journal of Financial Reporting and Accounting

A new approach to investing based on how Wall Street insiders approach the market The Indomitable Investor deconstructs the stock market as the public has come to know it and reconstitutes it from the inside out from the perspective of the fortunate few who dominate Wall Street. By revealing how top investors and traders think and act Steven Sears shows the stock market to be an undulating ocean of money, with seasoned investors reading the waves others cannot. Teaching readers to think about the market in radically different ways, The Indomitable Investor shows how to improve returns—and, just as importantly, avoid losses—with disciplines deployed by people who almost always do exactly the opposite of what Wall Street says to do. Laying bare great fallacies, the book explains that non-professional investors wrongly think the stock market is a place to make money, which is what Wall Street wants them to try to do. The Indomitable Investor says otherwise and shows how Wall Street's best investors have a co…

ЦИТАТА: «Люди с развитой интроверсией могут вполне успешно контактировать с окружающим миром, если это им необходимо. Однако наиболее эффективно они действуют в пределах своего внутреннего мира, предаваясь размышлениям и рефлексии. Точно так же обстоит дело и с развитыми экстравертами: они могут достаточно эффективно работать с абстрактными идеями, однако лучше всего выполняют свою работу, активно действуя в контакте с окружающим миром. Такие естественные предпочтения остаются у людей обоих типов в течение всей жизни, так же как право- или леворукость».

Это аудио – сокращенная версия книги Анджелы Бэрон, Майкла Армстронга «Управление результативностью. Система оценки результатов в действии». Только самые ценные мысли, идеи, кейсы, примеры.
О книге
Люди – основное конкурентное преимущество любой успешной компании, потому что бизнес-процессы и продукты можно скопировать. Результативность организации складывается из результативности всех ее сотрудников. Иногда в компании работают опытные, ответственные профессионалы, но их общая результативность невысока.
Почему так происходит? Ответ знают Марк Армстронг и Анжела Бэрон, консультанты британского Королевского института персонала и развития. В книге «Управление результативностью. Система оценки результатов в действии» они рассказывают о том, что делать руководителю, чтобы его команда начала приносить тот результат, на который в действительности способна.
