Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bill and Mary Toohey are average middle income people from a small Iowa town. Bill has been employed for 23 years as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor and Mary has worked for 20 years as an Office Manager for a small psychological firm. They started saving and investing in 1991 when their net worth was $63,000. Eight years later their net worth was $467,000. In other words, their assets increased by an average of more than $50,000 per year during that period while their income (not counting dividends and capital gains) averaged about $65,000 per year. But it wasn't always easy. They have three children, Colleen (24), Tim (22), and Meghann (14). Tim has been severely disabled since birth and despite the challenges of helping Tim cope with his chronic illnesses, the Toohey family has been able to achieve financial freedom on a modest income. They were able to build a sizable nest egg in eight years while encountering some of life's biggest expenses during the period. They helped to pay for their daughter's college education and wedding, paid cash for a new car, and made several expensive home improvements. Despite those major expenses the Tooheys still managed to save 46% of their gross income and were listed among the 'Best Personal Finance Managers in America' in the December 1994 issues of Money magazine. The Tooheys' story, in an article written by Bill, appeared in the April 1997 issue of Money magazine. Mary co-authored an article published in the February 1998 issue of McCall's magazine.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Markennamen sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil unserer modernen Gesellschaft, denn sie beeinflussen in großem Umfang unser Handeln. Daher ist jeder Marketing Manager bestrebt, dass seine Marke alle anderen übertrifft, einen größeren Marktanteil hat und ihren Regalplatz länger behaupten kann. Willmott hat eine moderne Markenstrategie entwickelt, bei der die Marke als 'Citizen Brand' Verantwortung für das Unternehmen tragen muss, z.B. für die Umwelt oder in ethischen Fragen. Diese Form der Unternehmensverantwortung, auch Corporate Citizenship genannt, spielt eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Vertrauensbildung in das Unternehmen. Denn größeres Vertrauen in ein Unternehmen korrespondiert mit größerer Kundentreue. Kunden, die Ihnen vertrauen, schauen sich kaum anderweitig um, und wenn Sie einmal einen Fehler machen, sind sie eher geneigt ihn zu entschuldigen. Die Vorteile der sog. 'Citizen Brands' liegen damit klar auf der Hand: bessere Marktforschung, schnelleres Erkennen und Reagieren auf potentielle Probleme, stärkeres Kundenvertrauen und erhöhte Kundentreue. Jüngste Forschungen haben gezeigt, dass 'Citizen Brands' kommerziell erfolgreicher sind als Marken, die sich nicht auf gesellschaftliche Trends konzentrieren. Eine Fülle von Fallstudien und Beispielen internationaler Unternehmen demonstriert anschaulich, welche Unternehmen Willmotts Strategie bereits erfolgreich umgesetzt haben, z.B. Johnson & Johnson, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Ben & Jerry's, Levi's, Disney und McDonalds.Der Autor ist ein renommierter Experte auf dem Gebiet der Marktforschung; er ist Mitbegründer der Future Foundation, der führenden unabhängigen Marktforschungs- und Consultingorganisation in Großbritannien.…
