Summary

Based on ethnographic research conducted over several years, Market Frictions examines the tensions and frictions that emerge from the interaction of global market forces, urban planning policies, and small-scale trading activities in the Vietnamese border city of Lào Cai. Here, it is revealed how small-scale traders and market vendors experience the marketplace, reflect upon their trading activities, and negotiate current state policies and regulations. It shows how “traditional” Vietnamese marketplaces have continually been reshaped and adapted to meet the changing political-economic circumstances and civilizational ideals of the time.

    The best products can still lose in the marketplace. Why? They are beaten by stronger product marketing. Yet, product marketing is widely misunderstood.  It includes segmenting and targeting customers, positioning products vs. alternatives, creating product collateral, and supporting sales teams. But great product marketing achieves much more: it identifies the best way to bring your product to market, accelerates your product's ability to penetrate markets over time, shapes what the world thinks about your product and your category, and inspires customers to tell your product's story. Loved explains the foundational principles of best-in-class product marketing for product teams, marketers, founders, and any leader with a product and a vision. The third book in the bestselling series including Inspired and Empowered, from Silicon Valley Product Group, Loved distills decades of lessons gleaned from working with hundreds of companies to show you: the centrality of product marketing to any product's success; the key skills and actions required to do it well; the four foundational principles of product marketing and how to implement them; how to hire, lead, and organize product marketing; how product marketers optimize crucial collaboration with other functions; and tools and agile marketing practices that help simplify and elevate product marketing.

    Making the Hardest DecisionsAs a young aid worker, Sasha Chanoff was sent to evacuate a group of refugees from the violence-torn Congo. But when he arrived he discovered a second group. Evacuating them too could endanger the entire mission. But leaving them behind would mean their certain death. All leaders face defining moments, when values are in conflict and decisions impact lives. Why is moral courage the essential factor at such times? How do we access our own rock-bottom values, and how can we take advantage of them to make the best decisions? Through Sasha's own extraordinary story and those of eight other brave leaders from business, government, nongovernment organizations, and the military, this book reveals five principles for confronting crucial decisions and inspires all of us to use our moral core as a lodestar for leadership.

    Refuel Your Employer Brand -...

    My first book introduced the concept of fuelling your employer brand. After it was published, and I had discussed it with Peers, Business Leaders and Owners, a wealth of additional information emerged.  This led to a number of research projects that catalysed and developed my thinking around the Employer Brand concept. Fuel Your Employer Brand really looked at the very basic concepts of the subject, and whilst it covered many aspects of the topic it also delved very heavily into the subject of recruitment process, as having a strong recruitment process is one of the foundation blocks of building a sustainable employer brand.This book therefore takes the original chapters of the first book that are most relevant and builds on them.  You could therefore consider this the second edition, however there is so much additional content I decided that the content was significant enough to warrant its own separate publication.  Perhaps “Fuel Your Employer Brand “could be considered the beginners guide, and this the more advanced source of advice for those that have created a good Employer Brand and now want to take it to the next level.
