Talk Triggers is the definitive, practical guide on how to use bold operational differentiators to create customer conversations, written by best-selling authors and marketing experts Jay Baer and Daniel Lemin.Word of mouth is directly responsible for 19% of all purchases, and influences as much as 90%. Every human on earth relies on word of mouth to make buying decisions. Yet even today, fewer than 1% of companies have an actual strategy for generating these crucial customer conversations. Talk Triggers provides that strategy in a compelling, relevant, timely book that can be put into practice immediately, by any business.The key to activating customer chatter is the realization that same is lame. Nobody says "let me tell you about this perfectly adequate experience I had last night." The strategic, operational differentiator is what gives customers something to tell a story about. Companies (including the 30+ profiled in Talk Triggers) must dare to be different and exceed expectations in one or more palpable ways. That's when word of mouth becomes involuntary: the customers of these businesses simply MUST tell someone else.Talk Triggers contains: • Proprietary research into why and how customers talk • More than 30 detailed case studies of extraordinary results from Doubletree Hotels by Hilton and their warm cookie upon arrival, The Cheesecake Factory and their giant menu, Five Guys Burgers and their extra fries in the bag, Penn & Teller and their nightly meet and greet sessions, and a host of delightful small businesses • The 4-5-6 learning system (the 4 requirements for a differentiator to be a talk trigger; the 5 types of talk triggers; and the 6-step process for creating talk triggers) • Surprises in the text that are (of course) word of mouth propellantsConsumers are wired to discuss what is different, and ignore what is average. Talk Triggers not only dares the reader to differentiate, it includes the precise formula for doing it. Combining compelling stories, inspirational examples, and practical how-to, Talk Triggers is the first indispensable book about word of mouth. It's a book that will create conversation about the power of conversation.

Delayed payments by customers can seriously impact the finances of a business, but it is usually necessary to offer some level of credit to them.

"National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) of the National Science Foundation is responsible for national reporting of the research and development (R&D) activities that occur in all sectors of the United States economy. For most sectors, including the business and higher education sectors, NCSES collects data on these activities on a regular basis. However, data on R&D within the nonprofit sector have not been collected in 18 years, a time period which has seen dynamic and rapid growth of the sector. NCSES decided to design and implement a new survey of nonprofits, and commissioned this workshop to provide a forum to discuss conceptual and design issues and methods. Measuring Research and Development Expenditures in the U.S. Nonprofit Sector: Conceptual and Design Issues summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop. This report identifies concepts and issues for the design of a survey of R&D expenditures made by nonprofit organizations, considering the goals, content, statistical methodology, data quality, and data products associated with this data collection. The report also considers the broader usefulness of the data for understanding the nature of the nonprofit sector and their R&D activities. Measuring Research and Development Expenditures in the U. S. Nonprofit Sector will help readers understand the role of nonprofit sector given its enormous size and scope as well as its contribution to identifying new forms of R&D beyond production processes and new technology."--

Today, a company's capability to conceive and design quality prototypes and bring a variety of superior products to market quicker than its competitors is increasingly the focal point of competition, contend leading product development experts Steven Wheelwright and Kim Clark. Drawing on six years of in-depth, systematic, worldwide research, they present proven principles for developing the critical capabilities for speed, efficiency, and quality that have worked again and again in scores of successful Japanese, American, and European fast-cycle firms.The authors argue that to survive, let alone succeed, today's companies must construct a new "platform" -- with new methodologies -- on which they can compete. Using their model for development strategies, Wheelwright and Clark show that firms can create a solid architecture for the integration of marketing, manufacturing, and design functions for problem solving and fast action -- particularly during the critical design-build-test cycles of prototype creation.They demonstrate further how successful firms such as Honda in automobiles, Compaq in personal computers, Applied Materials in semi-conductors, Sony in audio equipment, The Limited in apparel, and Hill-Rom in hospital beds have employed recent methodologies to bring new products to market at break-neck speed. Such innovations include design for manufacturability, quality function deployment, computer-aided design, and computer-aided engineering.Finally, Wheelwright and Clark emphasize the importance of learning in the organization. Companies that consistently "design it right the first time" and follow a path of continuous improvement in product and process development have a formidable edge in the crucial race to market.

Das Handbuch Werberhetorik bietet einen Überblick über rhetorische Phänomene in der Werbung. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Rhetorik der Wirtschaftswerbung. Sie wird in ihrer historischen Entwicklung von der Antike über die Frühe Neuzeit und das Aufkommen des Markenartikels bis hin zur massenmedialen Konsumwerbung offline und online in den Blick genommen. Rhetorische Phänomene werden dabei sowohl in unterschiedlichen Werbemedien aufgespürt (Print, Rundfunk, Online-Formate u.a.) als auch in ihrer Multimodalität in den Blick genommen: So werden neben sprachlich-textuellen Phänomenen auch visuelle Ausdrucksformen (Bilder, Typographie) in ihrer Eigenwertigkeit und ihrer Relation zur Botschaft des Textes behandelt.Ein weiterer, kleinerer Schwerpunkt widmet sich den verschiedenen Formen politischer Werberhetorik, die einerseits - insbesondere im Hinblick auf Wahlkampfreden - einer Eigengesetzlichkeit unterliegt, andererseits, zum Beispiel bei Plakaten oder Flyern, Anleihen bei den rhetorischen Strategien der Wirtschaftswerbung macht.Ergänzend zur Wirtschafts- und politischen Werbung werden exemplarisch weitere "Werberhetoriken" in den Blick genommen. So lassen sich verschiedene Formen der sozialen und kulturellen Werbung unterscheiden - man denke an Stadtmarketing, Werbung für Theater und Museen, Werbung für Kirchen, gemeinnützige Einrichtungen und Gesundheitsvorsorge, an Werbung für Sport und Sportereignisse oder auch für Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen. Einen problematisierenden Ausblick bieten abschließend Überblicks-Artikel zur Kulturspezifik von Werberhetorik und zur Sprachkritik.

Adoption of Innovations reviews the Bass model and its new generation extensions as well as the alternative approach - the threshold model, which analyzes an individual's decision whether, and to what extent, to use a new technology given economic conditions. The authors show that the threshold model has a notable advantage in incorporating marketing tools that are targeted to and/or aim at reducing risk. This monograph describes the two models. It shows how they relate to each other, and then discusses how marketing tools, and in particular marketing tools that are designed to reduce risk, can be incorporated into each of the two models.
