Download or read book Understanding the Consumer written by Isabelle Szmigin and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003-03-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the Consumer brings together marketing theory and practice in a truly consumer-centric approach. It challenges the lip service usually paid to this concept and demonstrates that a fundamental understanding of the consumer is critical to the future of effective marketing. Drawing on cutting-edge developments in the literature it reconceptualizes how consumers respond and act in the marketplace with particular attention to: - relationships with suppliers, products and brands - their innovative, creative and resistant behaviour - the complexity and unpredictability of their consumption behaviour - their increasing need to get closer to production. The book challenges existing functionally driven marketing thinking and shows how a more holistic approach to the marketplace will drive better theory and practice. It combines a jargon-free approach to the subject with an illustration of the relevant theory using practical, topical examples from the marketplace as well as drawing on other business related disciplines including sociology and economics to support its arguments.

Download or read book The Paradox of Choice written by Barry Schwartz and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.
Download or read book Foundations of Economic Analysis of Law written by Steven Shavell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What effects do laws have? Do individuals drive more cautiously, clear ice from sidewalks more diligently, and commit fewer crimes because of the threat of legal sanctions? Do corporations pollute less, market safer products, and obey contracts to avoid suit? And given the effects of laws, which are socially best? Such questions about the influence and desirability of laws have been investigated by legal scholars and economists in a new, rigorous, and systematic manner since the 1970s. Their approach, which is called economic, is widely considered to be intellectually compelling and to have revolutionized thinking about the law. In this book Steven Shavell provides an in-depth analysis and synthesis of the economic approach to the building blocks of our legal system, namely, property law, tort law, contract law, and criminal law. He also examines the litigation process as well as welfare economics and morality. Aimed at a broad audience, this book requires neither a legal background nor technical economics or mathematics to understand it. Because of its breadth, analytical clarity, and general accessibility, it is likely to serve as a definitive work in the economic analysis of law.

Download or read book From Victim to Victor to Victim Again written by J. O. Bass and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative publication is a culmination of several years of research, interviews and surveys to determine the extent of racism in Thailand. The initial study began in 1964, during the Viet Nam War, when the author was in Thailand serving as an Industrial Missionary. While there, he encountered racial bias on a personal level and decided to base his Master's thesis on a study of the degree of prejudice existing in this country. "Prejudice not only hurts its holder and damages its victim, but also creates an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust which tends to destroy all who are touched by it. The question therefore arises, will the lesson of America's cities also be the lesson of Bangkok?" Follow-up observations were completed 35 years later to determine whether or not any progress had been made since the first study, after which Thailand had experienced an unprecedented population growth and the absence of American military personnel. "Thailand of the year 2000 was positioned to be the most appropriate prototype of the kind of inclusive society that many countries only dream of becoming..." Between 2001 and 2002, another extensive effort, involving interviews and surveys, was initiated to measure the social distance between the Africans and Thais. "...racial prejudice has a double edge. It damages both its holder and its victim. The prejudiced persons are hurt because they lose their ability for critical thought and react blindly in terms of stereotypes; they become less Christian, less Buddhist, less caring, and even less productive members of the Thai society, as far as creative thinking and change for the best goes. The victims of prejudice, are hurt because they become the persons created by the false image of themselves that is projected by those prejudiced persons." The results and comparisons of the author's research are described in depth in the pages of this book, along with his professional analysis of the situation as it existed over the last 50 years and at the present time. In 2004, the author will return to Bangkok, Thailand to oversee a larger scientific study and the implementation of its findings.
Download or read book Align Above A Personalized Letter To Airbag Survivors Everywhere written by Kristin Hagen and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALIGN ABOVE: A PERSONALIZED LETTER TO AIRBAG INJURY SURVIVORS EVERYWHERE! KRISTIN HAGEN - ORIGINAL AIRBAG INJURY SURVIVOR Evidence-based integrative medicine models represent the understanding that the body is interconnected with biochemical processes that directly or indirectly affect all other processes. When all systems are working well, the body is in harmony, health, and vitality. However, when any one of those are off, it creates an imbalance, and the entire body is affected. If the symptom goes on long enough, symptoms will begin to compound and build upon that until wholeness is identified and restored. As the disease process is corrected and brought back into balance with evidence-based integrative medicine, treating the body as a whole, the disease process over time heals itself with all things working together in systematic evidence-based integrative medicine design. In evidence-based integrative medicine, each individual is treated as a whole, reversing and treating the symptoms that ail them. Public health care addresses the symptoms or illness, acute or chronic, when the patient presents in acute visits. Evidence-based functional medicine dives in deeper to the scientific level to explore the cellular biologic components that are contributing to enable whole body wellness. To be truly well requires evidence-based integrative medicine. When incorporating evidence-based integrative medicine, each individual will notice ongoing change, improvement, restoration, and renewed hope in their individual and personal lives. This is the outcome Kristin Hagen creates for everyone. America offers the promise and choice of two different kinds of care for consumers. Each have their respective place. Evidence-based integrative medicine sets the pinnacle bar to wellness, and that in which all medical specialties may incorporate to advance client-centered care. Evidence-based integrative and functional medicine honors the individual's health and wellness over surgical approaches or medications, utilizing all aspects of care to bring the individual back to functional health and stay well for the long term. Preventive medicine is America's future, keeping people well, reducing cost, and impacting health care for generations to come.

Book excerpt: 'Focusing on key issues, themes and concepts within victimology, this edited collection provides an accessible and comprehensive critical analysis of crucial areas within victimisation. The main theories are related to, and integrated with, empirical research in an engaging style.' - Dr Anette Ballinger, Keele University 'This book achieves the rare feat of helping its readers without patronising them.

It deserves to be widely read and used in the teaching of criminology, victimology, and criminal justice' - Professor David Smith, University of Lancaster, UK. Organized around the intersecting social divisions of class, race, age and gender, the book provides an engaging and authoritative overview of the nature of victimisation in society. In addition to a review of the major theoretical developments in relation to understanding aspects of victimization in society, individual chapters explore the political and social context of victimisation and the historical, comparative and contemporary research and scholarly work on it. Each chapter includes the following: - Background and glossary - Theory, research and policy review - `Thinking critically about...' sections - Reflections and future research directions - Summary and conclusions - Annotated bibliography Victims, Crime and Society is the essential text on victims for students of criminology, criminal justice, community safety, youth justice and related areas.

Download or read book Consumer Protection and Online Auction Platforms written by Christine Riefa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online auctions have undergone many transformations and continue to attract millions of customers worldwide. However these popular platforms remain understudied by legal scholars and misunderstood by legislators. This book explores the legal classification of online auction sites across a range of countries in Europe. Including empirical studies conducted on 28 online auction websites in the UK, the research focusses on the protection of consumers’ economic rights and highlights the shortcomings that the law struggles to control. With examinations into important developments, including the Consumer Rights Directive and the latest case law from the CJEU on the liability of intermediaries, Riefa anticipates changes in the law, and points out further changes that are needed to create a safe legal environment for consumers, whilst preserving the varied business model adopted by online auction sites. The study provides insights into how technical measures as well as a tighter legislative framework or enforcement pattern could provide consumers with better protection, in turn reinforcing trust, and ultimately benefiting the online auction platforms themselves.
