Market and civil society

Ebook "The marketing of rebellion: Insurgents, media, and international activism" rejects dominant views that needy groups readily gain help from selfless nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Instead, they face a Darwinian struggle for scarce resources where support goes to the savviest, not the neediest. Examining Mexico's Zapatista rebels and Nigeria's Ogoni ethnic group, the book draws critical conclusions about social movements, NGOs, and 'global civil society'.

Since the 1980s, the food and beverage industry has made children and adolescents the targets of intense and specialized food marketing and advertising efforts. The proliferation of electronic media, the deregulation of and declining support for public service advertising, and the booming economy of the 1990s all contributed to the transformation of children into a consumer group (Packaged Facts, 2000). In addition, the overabundance of certain foods in the U.S. food supply (such as corn and grains) along with decreased food production costs, allows food...

Many studies have shown that a good way to improve customer retention is to sell more products to the same custo- mers, i.e. extend the portfolio of products or services bought from a given supplier. Of course, given a specific custo- mer profile, companies would like to know what is the next most-likely product or service a customer is going to buy. In analytical CRM, we build cross-sell/up-sell models, also known as NPTB (next product to buy) models. These enable marketing analysts to target customers with the most appropriate product.

These three developments—globalization, technological advances, and deregulation— spell endless opportunities. But what is marketing and what does it have to do with these issues? Marketing deals with identifying and meeting human and social needs. One of the shortest definitions of marketing is “meeting needs profitably.

The plan of the paper is that evidence on the effect of financial education and literacy is first surveyed. Some of the behavioural biases most relevant to financial markets are then identified and implications for policy are considered. A fuller taxonomy of extant biases is provided in the Appendix. Finally, debiasing strategies appearing in the literature are discussed. Unfortunately, there is little work that directly considers whether biases can be eliminated by appropriate training, especially in a financial context. There is a clear need for more research in this area....

Ecosystems provide a wide variety of marketable goods, fish and lumber being two familiar examples. However, society is increasingly recognizing the myriad functions—the observable manifestations of ecosystem processes such as nutrient recycling, regulation of climate, and maintenance of biodiversity— that they provide, without which human civilizations could not thrive. Derived from the physical, biological, and chemical processes at work in natural ecosystems, these functions are seldom experienced directly by users of the resource.

As the roles progress from accounting operations to management support, the amount of value added to the organisation and the contribution made by management accountants generally increases. Roles in management information systems work across the others, supporting these functions. At the same time, we analysed the results of our survey geographically, in particular looking for differences in how the roles of financial professionals are evolving in the east and west.

Why is the market share of accounting measures shrinking, and can cross-sectional differences in the extent of shrinkage be explained? Has the information content of accounting information itself deteriorated, or should we look to more fundamental changes in the economic environment? For example, Milliron (2000) documents a significant shift over the past twenty years in board characteristics measuring director accountability, independence, and effectiveness consistent with a general increase in directors’ incentive alignment with shareholders’ interests.

This Report illustrates the vigorous efforts being undertaken by many developing countries to catch up with their more developed partners in the dissemination and use of ICT. However, it also shows that the gaps are still far too wide and the catching-up far too uneven for the promise of a truly global information society, with its attendant benefits for sustainable social and economic development, to materialize without the sustained engagement of national Governments, the business sector and civil society, and the tangible solidarity of the international community...

In 2007 the Ghanaian government issued $50 million worth of five-year “Golden Jubilee” savings bonds, available for purchase at approved financial institutions until June 2008, to both Ghanaians living in Ghana and abroad.

Banks thus planned to meet their shortfalls predominantly through capital measures, and some made progress in spite of unfavourable market conditions. Low share prices, as at present, cause a strong dilution effect, drawing resistance from incumbent shareholders and management. 4 The experience of UniCredit, whose deeply discounted €7.5 billion rights issue led to a 45% (albeit transient) plunge in its share price, deterred other banks from following suit. Capital can also be built through retained earnings, debt-to- equity conversion or redemption below par.

Public comment is sought to help inform the Working Group in shaping its recommendations for enhanced industry self-regulatory efforts as part of a report requested by Congress. Comments are not being requested as the basis for regulation. The recommendations include principles addressing the nutritional quality of foods that are most heavily marketed to children. They also include proposed definitions of advertising, promotion, and other marketing activities targeting children ages 2-11 years and adolescents ages 12-17 years to which the nutrition principles would apply.

In multiple-tier markets, stock exchange operators have also supported the transition of companies from less regulated compartments for small cap companies to their main markets, in a number of instances providing assistance to companies adopting the required higher governance standards. For instance, the TSX facilitates the transition of companies from its Venture Exchange 22 to its main market, which features higher governance requirements.

At the same time, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that have a permanent consulta- tive forum with the World Bank (WB), the WB-NGO Committee, identified social funds as the most significant Bank-supported portfolio of programs that effectively include civil society or- ganizations in their design, management, and implementation. In the spring of 1996, the com- mittee requested the Bank’s management to organize an international learning event on social funds.

The concept of money is something that has been around in human civilization for thousands of years. Yet, to this day, there is a large array of misconceptions, superstitions and outright lies concerning money. Some consider money to be some sort of supernatural phenomenon, like manna from the Gods, which somehow imbues upon each person a quantifiable amount of merit. Other people consider money as the proverbial “root of all evil” – a mechanism of enslavement utilized as the primary tool of either a malicious Devil or the combined society of greedy men. The aim of this document is to...
