Often misunderstood by the general public, psychological operations (PSYOP) enable U.S. forces to influence a target population's opinions and behavior by affecting their impressions, thoughts and emotions.
Psychological operations take many forms. They may be overt or covert; they may involve media as diverse as radio, television, loudspeaker broadcast, leaflet drop or social media. They may seek to influence combatant groups, civilian populations or a combination thereof. Whatever their form, effective psychological operations take control of the information received by the target, inserting the required memetic payload into the consumed media in a manner the target cannot easily ignore.
In that regard, military psychological operations share many similarities with a wide variety of marketing operations, and the information contained within this series of U.S. Army manuals will be useful to media professionals in all fields, particularly those tasked with building and operating influence organizations and campaigns.
Similarly, a general audience will find much of value here. It is our individual responsibility to safeguard our own minds from potentially-malicious external influence, and this can best be achieved by developing an understanding of the techniques used by the ever-increasing number of entities engaged in influence activities. These entities' intentions range from the benign - convincing us of which soap powder to use - to the dangerously malign - enticing us to form positive opinions of foreign enemy powers and political systems, or undermining our confidence in ourselves and our way of life.
This is book 2 of 3 in the C.M.L. U.S. Army PSYOP series, which builds on the previous publication to provide PSYOP commanders and planners with the information required to implement PSYOP activities at the operational level.

Описание: The global sustainability challenge is urgent, tremendous and increasing. From an ecological perspective, the current worldwide resource footprint requires approximately 1.5 planets to sustain existing life, and with current usage would require two planets by 2030. The social impact of ever-growing resource use disproportionately affects the world’s poor – the 3 billion people living on less than $2.50 a day, as they struggle to acquire what is needed to survive. The serious ecological and social challenges we face in trying to establish global sustainable supply chains must not be underestimated, yet so far research has largely ignored the social dimension in favour of the environmental and economic. So how can we develop business strategies that move away from a primary economic focus and give equal weight to people, planet and profit? How can we create sustainable supply chains that take a true triple-bottom-line approach?Implementing Triple Bottom Line Sustainability into Global Supply Chains features innovative research, highlighting new cases, approaches and concepts in how to successfully implement sustainability – covering economic, ecological and social dimensions – into global supply chains. The four parts cover the rationale for sustainable global supply chains, key enablers, case studies showing clear implementation steps, and directions for future research and development.This book is a must-read for any academic researching in sustainable supply chain management, procurement or business strategy, and for business leaders seeking cases that will inform a critical step forward for CSR programmes.

Описание: VII Foreword The retail financial services industry, especially the insurance industry, is undergoing fundamental changes. Prior to and in the aftermath of the deregulation of the insurance industry at the beginning of the 1990's, insurers have continued to focus more on stability and security rather than on efficiency and profitability. The capital market crisis, the deregulation, the gradual break-up of the traditionally integrated value chain coupled with the emergence of new players in the market as well technological advancements have all led to a fundamental shake-up of the financial services industry. Nevertheless, the cultural consequences of the regulated period are still visible today: in some insurance companies changes in the distribution of financial services can seldom be implemented without the acceptance of its tied agent channel, although experience from neighbouring industries, for example retail banking, clearly illustrates the necessity to align the distribution system with new trends in consumer behaviour, i. e., with the general wish for more convenient shopping opportunities anywhere, anytime and in any way. Financial services are characterised by a high degree of interactivity with the customer during the entire process of service delivery, while information asymmetries arise as a result of the dominance of credence and experience qualities. The product "financial services" therefore goes far beyond its core product, e. g. risk protection; it covers all other elements of the customer relationship process.

Описание:
Written by a leading pricing researcher, this book provides a simple unified system for the setting and management of prices. The pricing procedures described are grounded in basic research and are generally applicable over products, situations, and times. The result is that students gain a deeper, more generally useful understanding of this essential aspect of business.
The author demystifies the math necessary for making pricing decisions. Using clear, direct language, he explains in detail how to apply expected value, multiple regression, price elasticity, and generalized breakeven analysis to essential pricing tasks. He uses a descriptive approach to explaining mathematical techniques so that formulas can be seen as simply more detailed specifications of intuitive ideas.
Used in dozens of college and MBA classes all over the world, Pricing Strategies is now available in a second edition. This revised edition includes updated examples and exercises as well as expanded coverage of topics such as freemium and in-app pricing, subscriptions, tipping, pay-what-you-want pricing, pricing algorithms, and dynamic pricing.

Автор: Santiago Lopez Название: Value-based Marketing Strategy ISBN: 162273033X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781622730339 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 10116.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: This book offers novel methods for developing Value-based marketing strategies aimed at increasing revenue and profits. The Value concept relates all the benefits offered by a product with its price and the effort required to obtain it. Global competition requires managing Value rather than individual products or brands. This fosters customer loyalty, and provides a solid basis for relationship marketing. The book takes a practical, step-by-step approach to explain: - How the forces of supply and demand interact with customer Value; - The relationships between benefits, quantities, prices and costs; - How to develop effective competitive strategies; - How to manage inventory and product mix efficiently; - How to apply the Value model to increase profitability, and solve major marketing problems. The book sets forth several new approaches for marketing and pricing decision-making: - The concept of Value integrates marketing, finance, economics and accounting, in order to link Value-based pricing with relationship marketing. - The law of supply and demand is restated with quantity as a function of Value instead of price; this makes it a more realistic and practical tool for understanding today s highly today s highly competitive business environment. - The confrontation and complementation concepts provide useful tools for guiding marketers into new segments, and pricing products accordingly. They play a key role for devising win-win strategies, not only with customers, but also with competitors. - The Value Matrix is a practical tool for understanding the product s positioning, analyzing its competition, setting prices and developing strategy. It aims at achieving an optimal balance between customer loyalty and product mix profitability. - The Value Life Cycle illustrates how Value acts as a force that constantly changes revenue, providing insight for developing strategies in each phase of the product s life cycle. - Analogies with physics illustrate how policy constraints create resistance to sales velocity, thereby determining the rate at which a firm advances towards its financial and marketing goals. - The strategy for pricing business services applies Value to balance supply with demand; this leads to increased revenue. - The marketing approach set forth unifies product portfolio and inventory management with Value-based pricing for maximizing income. Clear explanations and accessible language make this book ideal for marketing professionals and non-specialists. Advanced readers may refer to the appendices, where the subjects are analyzed further and the mathematical foundations are laid out; numerous solved problems of pricing and costs are included.
