Download or read book Protecting Your Intellectual Property Rights written by Peggy E Chaudhry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counterfeit products represent a growing problem for a wide range of industries. There are many estimates of the size of this problem most of which coalesce around $500-billion annually on a global basis. Overall, a wide range of industries agree that there is a severe problem with the global protection of intellectual property rights (IPR), yet, there have been virtually no attempts to describe all aspects of the problem. This book aims at giving the most complete description of various characteristics of the intellectual property rights (IPR) environment in a global context. The authors believe a holistic understanding of the problem must include consumer complicity to purchase counterfeit, actions of the counterfeiters (pirates) as well as actions (or inaction) by home and host governments, and the role of international organizations and industry alliances. Only after establishing how all the actors in the IPR environment relate to one another can we describe global protection of the intellectual property rights environment and the managerial response of IPR owners and/or industry associations to combat this ongoing problem. The book concludes with pragmatic recommendations for protecting intellectual property given the recent trends discussed in the previous chapters, making it of interest to practitioners and policy-makers alike.

Download or read book Consumer Behaviour and Advertising Management written by Conner Acevedo and published by Scientific e-Resources. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to familiarise readers with a wide range of managerial issues faced by modern advertising strategies in planning, implementing, and controlling the advertising efforts of various enterprises. It contains numerous examples of successful advertising images alongside accompanying commentary to illustrate just what goes into making an effective advertisement. The positive role played by advertising in the market process has been largely ignored by academic economists. It is only recently, since the modern economic revolution, that economists have realized the benefits of advertising and have joined the research agenda developed by researchers in marketing and other business fields. Consumer Behaviour (CB) intended for students of MBA specializing in marketing, undertakes detailed discussions to explain and analyse behaviour of Indian consumers, and strategies used by marketers to deal with them. Marketers need to understand the buying behaviour of consumers while designing their advertisements for the desired impact. Advertisements play an essential role in creating an image of a product in the minds of consumers. Advertisements must be catchy and communicate relevant information to consumers. Understanding the needs of the consumer is really important when it comes to creating the right advertisement for the right audience. Remember it is only through advertisements; individuals are able to connect with your brand. This book provides an excellent introduction to the topic of how reasons and emotions combine to shape the consumption experience by influencing the analytic, hedonic, social, moral and even reptilian aspects of the human condition in the marketplace. Thus the material presented here would be of interest as well as of great use to the students, teachers and professionals in the field.

Download or read book Law and the Management of Disasters written by Alexia Herwig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters raise serious challenges for contemporary legal orders: they demand significant management, but usually amidst massive disruption to the normal functioning of state authority and society. When dealing with disasters, law has traditionally focused on contingency planning and recovery. More recently, however, ‘resilience’ has emerged as a key concept in effective disaster management policies and strategies, aiming at minimising the impact of events, so that the normal functioning of society and the state can be preserved. This book analyses the contribution of law to resilience building by looking at law’s role in the different phases of the disaster regulatory process: risk assessment, risk management, emergency intervention, and recovery. More specifically, it addresses how law can effectively contribute to resilience-oriented distaster management policies, and what legal instruments can support effective resilience-building.

The final section, devoted to the emergence of a global legal culture, brings the book full circle by identifying the growth of a global epistemic community.

Download or read book Chinese Politics as Fragmented Authoritarianism written by Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how far the concept of fragmented authoritarianism remains valid as the key concept for understanding how the Chinese political process works. It contrasts fragmented authoritarianism, which places bureaucratic bargaining at the centre of policy-making, arguing that the goals and interests of the implementing agencies have to be incorporated into a policy if implementation is to be secured, with other characterisations of China’s political process. Individual chapters consider fragmented authoritarianism at work in a range of key policy areas, including energy issues, climate change and environmental management, financial reform, and civil-military relations. The book also explores policy making at the national, provincial, city and local levels; debates how far the model of fragmented authoritarianism is valid in its current form or whether modifications are needed; and discusses whether the system of policy making and implementation is overcomplicated, unwieldy and ineffective or whether it is constructive in enabling widespread consultation and scope for imagination, flexibility and variation.
