Social Marketing to Protect the Environment

What Works

Social marketing takes key marketing principles and applies them to campaigns and efforts to influence social action. In Social Marketing to Protect the Environment, the focus turns to the environment, and how social marketing can be successful to change environmental behaviour. The text begins with a definition of the Social Marketing Model and includes a discussion of various tools that can be used to develop social marketing strategies. It then moves into sections on Residential-Related Behaviours and Commercial-Related Behaviours. These sections follow a consistent format and: - Describe a variety of environmental issues - Give examples of the numerous changes in behaviours and/or practices that would contribute to reducing the problem - Provide mini-cases that illustrate the successful use of social marketing principles along with tools to influence this behaviour in similar situations - Review what worked and what could have been improved. A final section provides future directions and recommendations.

Becoming Hewlett Packard

Why Strategic Leadership Matters

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard invented the model of the Silicon Valley start-up and set in motion a process of corporate becoming that made it possible for HP to transform itself six times over the 77 years since its founding in the face of sweeping technological changes that felled most of its competitors over the years. Today, HP is in the throes of a seventh transformation to secure its continued survival by splitting in two independent companies: HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Based on extensive primary research conducted over more than 15 years, this book documents the differential contribution of HP's successive CEOs in sustaining the company's integral process of becoming. It uses a comprehensive strategic leadership framework to examine and explain the role of the CEO: (1) defining and executing the key tasks of strategic leadership, and (2) developing four key elements of the company's strategic leadership capability. The study of the strategic leadership of HP's successive CEOs revealed the paradox of corporate becoming, the existential situation facing successive CEOs (that justifies the book's empathic approach), and the importance of the CEO's ability to harness the company's past while also driving its future. Building on these novel insights, the book shows how the frameworks used to conceptualize the tasks of strategic leadership and the development of strategic leadership capability can serve as steps toward a dynamic theory of strategic leadership that animates an evolutionary framework of corporate becoming. This framework will be helpful for further theory development about strategic leadership and also offers practical tools for founders of new companies and CEOs and boards of directors of existing companies who intend to create, run or oversee companies built for continued relevance, longevity and greatness.

investigation, code named “Project Kona” (for the location of Dunn's vacation
house), private investigators hired by HP or its agents called the telephone
service providers of people under investigation and falsely claimed to the service
representatives to be the person in question in order to gain access to telephone
records. This is a practice known as “pretexting.” The object was to see whether
any of the suspects had called reporters. When Hurd joined HP in April 2005

The Great Mutual Fund Trap

How Americans Are Losing Billions to the Mutual Fund and Brokerage Industries-- and How You Can Earn More with Less Risk

Convinced that your star mutual fund manager will help you beat the market? Eager to hear the latest stock picking advice on CNBC? FORGET ABOUT IT! The Great Mutual Fund Trap shows that the average mutual fund consistently underperforms the market, and that strategies for picking above-average funds -- everything from past performance to expert rankings -- are useless. Picking individual stocks on the advice of brokers and analysts works no better. The only sure things are the fees and commissions you’ll pay. Fortunately, the news is not all bad. Investors willing to ignore the constant drumbeat of “trade frequently,” “trust the experts,” and “beat the market” now have the opportunity to do better. Using new investing products investors can earn higher returns with lower risks. Drawing on their years of Wall Street, Treasury and Federal Reserve experience, Gary Gensler and Gregory Baer offer a fresh and realistic look at how money is managed in America. From new indexing strategies to risk-managed stock selection, The Great Mutual Fund Trap offers investors an escape from high costs and immunity from seductive marketing messages. From the Hardcover edition.

Forbes Stories Of Superstar Savers

Half of Americans donÕt have enough cash on hand for financial emergencies, and almost a third have no retirement savings. Now meet the worldÕs superstar savers. Forbes has compiled stories about ordinary people who have made headlines by accomplishing amazing financial feats, whether thatÕs buying nothing for a whole year or retiring at age 30. Their stories are full of smart spending, saving and investing moves that you can apply to your own life, and youÕll see what it takes to commit to good, wealth-building habitsÑand what to do with the occasional financial slip-up. Ê The best way to develop successful money habits is to learn by example: Many of these people were heavy spenders and acquired massive amounts of debt before deciding to take small, but meaningful, practical first steps toward saving their cash. None of these people stumbled upon their future wealth by winning the lottery or inheriting a trust fund. The most repeated conclusion among these frugal superstars is this: Trade in your consumer impulses for the most valuable thing money can buyÑyour financial freedom.

Formal Modelling in Electronic Commerce

Advances in automation for electronic commerce require improved understanding and formalization of the objects, processes, and policies of commerce itself. These include business objects such as bills of lading and contracts; processes such as workflows and trade procedures; and policies covering such problems as contract or procedure validation and strategic behaviour. This book is about theory, formalization, and proof-of-concept implementation of these and related matters. In addition to presenting state-of-the-art results, the book places this work in the context of nearly twenty years of developments in formal modelling for electronic commerce. A comprehensive bibliography and index are provided.

In electronic commerce however, when the execution of the documentary
procedure is governed by automated systems, documentary procedures should
be stipulated in a common formal, computable, and executable language. Such a
language would allow the specification of downloadable procedures and would
ease the negotiation process since all parties can express their requirements
unambiguously in the same language. But this is just the first step towards

Entity-Relationship Approach - ER '94. Business Modelling and Re-Engineering

13th International Conference on the Entity-Relationship Approach, Manchester, United Kingdom, December 13 - 16, 1994 Proceedings

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on the Entity-Relationship Approach, ER '94, held in Manchester, UK in December 1994. The ER '94 book is devoted to business modelling and re-engineering and provides a balanced view between research and practical experience. The 34 full revised papers presented are organized in sections on business process modelling, enterprise modelling, systems evolution, modelling integrity constraints, object-oriented databases, active databases, CASE, reverse engineering, information system modelling, schema coordination, and re-engineering.

This paper proposes to integrate constraint languages with the declarative
specifications of their integrity repair actions. We introduce a rather powerful,
predicate-based language for specifying integrity constraints, then we discuss the
semantics of repair actions as computations which react to constraint violations,
then we establish sufficient conditions for ensuring their termination, and finally
we show how repair actions can be integrated in the SQL2 standard and
