Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - PRAISE FOR ECONOSPINNING'We know that economists are dismal scientists, but scientists nevertheless. This book casts doubt about the science of economic journalism by showing that it's often politically biased, superficial, and inconsistent with facts. An important book.'--Baruch Lev, Philip Bardes Professor of Accounting and Finance, New York University Stern School of Business'Econospinning shines the spotlight on how economic data are chronically misreported by journalists and manipulated by political pundits. Epstein raises the bar in how to think about and interpret economic statistics.'--Bill Dudley, Advisory Director, The Goldman Sachs Group'Bull markets in bad economic ideas are a lot like bubbles in financial assets--it takes just the right mixture of the cynical and the credulous to produce really extreme outcomes. And, as with asset bubbles, the sooner bad ideas are deflated, the less damage they do. Gene Epstein's clear-eyed analysis in Econospinning is a timely corrective for many of the flawed notions that have made their way into circulation in recent years.'--Lou Crandall, Chief Economist, Wrightson ICAP'A shocking and provocative book. Econospinning shows how the brightest and most credentialed economists--from Krugman in the Times to bestselling author Steven Levitt--abuse data, and in rather blatant ways at that.'--Amar Bhidé, Lawrence D. Glaubinger Professor of Business Columbia University Graduate School of Business'Gene Epstein preaches that a statistic is not how it's labeled; it's how it's collected.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A TEACHER'S GUIDE TO Classroom Assessment.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Companies usually assume if their sales are good, then their brand and reputation must be strong. But all too often, they don t have a clear understanding of the values that drive brand and reputation and actually sustain long-term profitability and growth. This leaves companies vulnerable to dangerous backlash between corporate values, and those of their stakeholders: customers, employees, shareholders, media, government, and community. Even well-known and seemingly successful brands and reputations have suffered from this backlash (e.g. Nike and overseas sweatshops, Wal-Mart and unfair employment practices, McDonald s and obesity issues.) Every stakeholder applies their personal and professional values to judge the performance of a company. Branding expert John Foley has developed the BalancedBrand System, which helps companies assess corporate values, identify potential flashpoints, and align values to build a stronger brand and reputation. BalancedBrand identifies and helps manage the forces that will change the way business does business. Foley and co-author Julie Kendrick have created new tools that build and protect brands and reputations.
