Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This is a research on the effect of price and communication on customer satisfaction in multi-channel shopping, namely, online and through traditional stores. There is an in-depth literature review on the various factors that have an effect on the final outcome i.e. purchase. It is believed that prices are usually lower online. If a firm competes through more than one channel, it is very important that its brand image is consistent through all the channels. Important communication like prices of the products, promotions etc. need extra attention as the company is in contact with the customer through more than one channel and in order to build a loyal customer base, it is imperative that the same information is being communicated. The sample group interviewed comprised of both, the consumers and the managers to know both sides of the story. What the consumers perceive and think at the time of making the purchase and what the managers or the companies put forth to the customers should be in sync. Open ended questions from both the sample groups helped in getting a clearer picture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Different scholars and exponents of the world of finance have found that the problem of conflict of interest might play a relevant role in the business of credit rating agencies. On the one hand, it is argued that credit rating agencies have no incentive to exploit conflicts of interest since they would lose their reputation for providing valuable information. On the other, it seems that the increase in rules that depend on credit ratings has created an incentive for a few rating agencies, identified as NRSROs, to supply inaccurate ratings and for market participants to pay for regulatory rights deriving from the agencies¿ ratings. The scope of this research is to study whether reputable and well-established credit rating agencies can build up a margin that allows them to remain unaffected by a lowered quality of the service provided and to indulge in exploiting the conflict of interest by giving their customers, i.e. the issuers, unduly high ratings. This study will also suggest a critical review of the latest amendments and amendment proposals to the existing legislation governing credit rating agencies aimed at improving oversight and regulation of these agencies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The events of 09/11 resulted in a tremendous blow to the image of Islam and Islamic countries. Right-wing politicians (ab)use this negative image to strengthen support for their anti-immigrant policies and hate against Islam. This book examines attempts made by Islamic countries to improve the image of Islam using Public Diplomacy (PD). An analysis and comparison is done of and between the foreign policy and (PD) diplomatic efforts of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Senegal and Malaysia, focused on the impact on the existing image in the West. Even though quality PD improves the image of Islam, success and impact of current efforts is hampered by domestic and international circumstances.The study highlights an important, alternative (pioneering) role for PD in improving the image of Islam, assisting in bringing about deeper understanding and tolerance on a global level. PD has so far, only been associated with country, places and products. Islam is none of these; it is the world¿s second largest religion. This book should be useful to students and professionals in the field of diplomacy or international relations, or anyone else interested in improved relations between the West and Islam.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The majority of films today are not produced with the intent to lure people to visit certain destinations. However, in a sense a destination in a film can be seen as a form of product placement that consumers are willing to spend money on to experience. People can, from their TV sofa or cinema chair, gaze upon places, people, stories and other depictions of attributes that a film consists of. When an attribute stands out it can be powerful enough to create a pulling power for the viewers to travel to the film location and see or experience it in reality. This phenomenon has been referred to as film-induced tourism and is still a relatively unexplored area containing many research gaps. This book attempts to fill some of those gaps and find connections between them in order to better understand the occurring processes within film-induced tourism. Destination images, travel motivation, authenticity and travel behaviour in a film tourism context are discussed and analysed. This book should be of interest for professionals in tourism, destination marketing, advertising and branding as well as governmental organs interested in ways to promote cities and countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Over the decades Schedule Castes and Schedule Tribes have remained the most deprived group in the highly caste ridden Indian Society. The development of these disadvantaged groups and their assimilation with the larger society has therefore been a matter of great concern for the government and other public bodies, both at the centre and in the states. On the same side with diversity in culture India's performance on infant mortality reduction pales in comparison to that of many other countries in South, Southeast and East Asia. In India where the coverage and completeness of civil registration system is poor and information from this system can not be used to assess fertility and mortality. In such circumstances the only way is to use information from census and then apply some indirect techniques to get the estimates of vital rates at district level. In this book attempt has been made to estimate the level of Infant and Child Mortality for most disadvantage groups i.e. Schedule Castes and Schedule tribes in India through indirect technique at district level using Census and RCH data which might be very useful for policy implications.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In the Himalayan country of Nepal, the inclusion of women in government extension projects has been a key development strategy since 1990s. Extension projects encourage and provide support for the establishment of grassroots women¿s groups. Most of these groups disintegrate after the termination of government support; however, and before achieving all their objectives, indicating that extension agencies are generally unsuccessful in establishing sustainable groups. This book explores the issues related to the sustainability of these women¿s groups, and identifies the reasons for their premature disintegration. A case study approach is employed, using qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with group members and extension officers in the Kavre district of Nepal. Meeting group members¿ needs is a precondition for sustainability; however, results suggest that the perception of these needs differs between the women¿who desire self-empowerment¿and extension agencies¿who want increased productivity. Results further suggest that while cultural diversity may increase sustainability, economic and gender diversity may have the opposite effect.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Manyu division is one of the more than fifty basic administrative units of the Republic of Cameroon, West Africa. It is situated in the south west region of Cameroon, bordering with Nigeria. Most Manyu people do not know the meanings of their names and a significant number even think Manyu names have no meaning at all. This book attempts to dispel such notions and provide the name meanings. It is the first ever attempt at such an important subject to Manyu people. To do so, the author has made a brief survey of the history of the migration of the Ekois from Nigeria to Cameroon. He has shown that even though their language has mutated into several dialects, their cultural tenets remain essentially unchanged. Thus, their religiosity, cosmology, mysticism, (incarnation and reincation) and cultural believes and practices show proof of a common origin. These believes are explained in the book and shown how they affect the naming methods, and thus meanings, of Manyu names. The book should thus interest all Manyuans and all students and scholars of African studies. Major university and public libraries should find it useful.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This research aims at understanding the interrelation between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and financial performance. Corporate Social Responsibility has gained increasing attention in both academic and business literature and companies find themselves under increasing pressure, both from a legal and social perspective, to take into account social and environmental issues. This is why we notice more and more initiatives to implement CSR in business strategies and to improve transparency through the publication of annual CSR reports and rankings. Our analysis on distinct industries shows differing relations between CSR and financial performance. This brings us to the conclusion that the relation depends strongly on unobservable industry- and firm-specific effects and the businesses¿ internal and external environment. Furthermore, our findings suggest that CSR initiatives tend to be cyclical, depending on the efficiency of the firm, and lead to the belief that the relation between CSR and financial performance tends to take the form of a virtuous circle.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Like many Sub Sahara African countries, agriculture in Cameroon is the backbone of the economy. It accounts for over 30 percent of GDP and 70 percent of total employment and therefore it is obvious that the agricultural sector is a key component to economic growth, development and plays a pivotal role in poverty reduction. The rising poverty situation in the world especially in Sub Sahara Africa (SSA) has led to the development of poverty reduction strategies in several countries and the world at large in an effort to abate poverty. While some of these strategies have witnessed success in some countries, others have failed to produce expected results or are still to produce significant results especially in Africa where these measures are widely implemented .This book presents a scientific and objective examination of Policy interventions in SSA Economies especially countries that have gone through the structural Adjustment Process. It therefore gives me the pleasure to commend it to scholars, policy makers, researchers and the general public.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The effectiveness of public diplomacy is measured by minds changed. In order to improve our picture in other¿s minds tomorrow, we have to get better, smarter and nicer today. Surprisingly, in this way we could change the world.This paper outlines the requirements for a modern and effective public diplomacy with a specific focus on Slovakia. It claims that civil society and private sector must be brought on board in order to include the entire spectrum of the society. If sustainability and credibility is to be achieved, fundamental values generated by own citizens must become a basis. Creating a distinguishable image in the fierce competition of other countries requires a consistent, diligent and patient effort. Special attention is paid to the sometimes strained political relations between Slovakia and Hungary and argues for the greater use of public diplomacy to influence positive change. The paper concludes by suggesting that carefully elaborated and targeted public diplomacy should become an increasingly important asset. This book should be useful not only for public diplomacy practitioners but for anyone interested in nation branding or foreign affairs.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The insurance industry has seen a recent growth in a market segment which prefers products and services that relate to the Islamic Society and the concept of mutual cooperation in abidance with the Islamic Laws. The reason for this growth is the existence of an alternative called as `Islamic¿ insurance products provided by the Takaful insurance companies. Ever since the establishment of the concept of Takaful, the Takaful providers have been capturing the market in the Islamic community with this core competency feature in their products. There has been very little academic literature that compares the managerial and conceptual aspects of the conventional and takaful insurers. This book, therefore, compares 5 leading insurance/re-insurance companies in The Kingdom of Bahrain of which 2 are conventional companies, 2 are takaful companies and one practising both types of insurance.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Agriculture is argued to be one of our most critical infrastructures and is vital to human health and survivability. Agriculture is economically important in Virginia as it provides over 350,000 jobs and generates $55 billion annually (Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services). This high criticality lends to significant areas of vulnerability in each sector of agriculture. Rockingham County is of particular importance as the top agriculturally producing county in the state and is ranked 5th in the nation for poultry sales (2007 Census of Agriculture). The desire to uphold this high production calls for a need to better understand what vulnerabilities threaten productivity. This research employs an all hazard approach which examines intentional attacks of both a criminal and terrorist nature. Three specific areas address these concerns. First, the Potential Threat Elements which may attack the poultry industry are exploited. Second, vulnerabilities of the poultry farms where primary grow operations take place are analyzed.
