Summary

Unfortunate Business Slogans explores the critical impact of language on brand perception, demonstrating how marketing missteps in slogans can undermine a business. It highlights that a seemingly minor linguistic choice, like an awkward translation, can lead to significant brand damage in global markets. The book emphasizes that effective slogans must deeply resonate with a target audience's cultural values, moving beyond simple translation to avoid ridicule or offense.

 
The book dissects real-world examples of slogan failures, categorizing them into themes like Translation Traps and Cultural Collisions. By examining linguistic breakdowns and consumer reactions, the book reveals how unintended double entendres can tarnish a brand's image. These case studies, drawn from diverse industries, showcase the power of cultural sensitivity in crafting effective marketing communication.

 
Ultimately, Unfortunate Business Slogans offers a framework for developing culturally appropriate slogans, providing a practical guide for marketing professionals and business students. The book, progressing from core branding concepts to detailed analyses, serves as a cautionary yet constructive resource for navigating the complexities of international business and avoiding costly mistakes.

    There is no CEO task more significant than leading change in an organization whose old business model needs updating. Large-scale change involves rethinking how to engage customers, partners, and suppliers with new technology and hard decisions about how to reorganize internal operations—plus the challenges of executing the transformation. Too many things can go wrong, from natural organizational resistance and inertia, to lack of strategic focus, to execution problems. And yet, organizations today must be more dynamic than ever before. Strategy is dynamic, not static, and requires agility, nimbleness, rapid resource deployment, and organizational change. 
     
     
     
    This practical playbook helps CEOs and other key leaders reduce the risks and see through the overwhelming complexity of a major change in organizational strategy. Unlike many other books on leading change that focus narrowly on overcoming resistance, The CEO Playbook for Strategic Transformation offers a comprehensive framework involving four major tasks for leaders: 1) Establish and Communicate the Urgent Need; 2) Engage Stakeholders; 3) Mobilize the Organization; and 4) Develop Organizational Agility. Leaders who guide their organizations through these stages are far more likely to succeed than those who lack a playbook.

    The 18 Laws of Employer Branding

    Employer brand has been “a thing” for more than 30 years. 
    According to LinkedIn (apply your own “grain of salt” rule here), there are 34,000 people who call themselves an employer brander, and 600,000 more who list employer branding as a skill. 
    There are dozens of agencies and scores of consultants in the US alone who specialize in employer branding. 
    So why does it feel like we’re all still fumbling around in the dark looking for a light switch? 
    Now, I have no issue with the idea that there are a million ways to do good employer branding, but without some kind of shared sense of “the basics,” it feels like each new generation of branders figure things out just in time to move onto their next function and fail to pass things down. 
    Heck, in some employer brand forum right now, there is someone with the title of “employer brand manager” asking, “how do you build an employer brand?” You don’t see recruiters asking, “hey, I just got this job: how do I recruit?” 
    So let’s set up some basic laws that can apply to your employer branding, regardless of your approach or school of thought. 
    Hence, the laws of employer branding.
