FUTURE PERSPECTIVES AND CONCLUSION VI. REFERENCES I. ABSTRACT This essay attempts to emphasize the importance of the private sector’s involvement through APEC participation in fostering economic development at the Base of the Pyramid (BOP). In December 2008, the Asian Development Bank[1] reported that poverty in the Asia Pacific region is estimated to be much larger than earlier reported. The region was also reported to be facing major hurdles in meeting its Millennium Development Goals. Following ADB reports, in January 2009, the World Economic Forum[2], in partnership with The Boston Consulting Group presented a set of new insights and design principles which can help companies tap the economic potential of BOP markets in ways that serve both commercial and societal goals. In fact, both reports concluded that the task to reduce poverty is far too large for the...

...between the brand and the customer. In India, by contrast Coke's knowledge and appeal is limited to the urban elite and youth. It is consumed more for aspirational than functional reasons. Home consumption is not as high as it is in the United States, It is a brand to which a limited number of people relate. Loyalty is more to the cola flavor them Coke. In short, Coke is viewed very differently in India as compared to tin United States. This paper examines the differences in perceptions in the two countries and discusses their implications for Coke in India.

...Wooden on Leadership Book Report for Contemporary Issues in Servant Leadership Coach John Wooden, the legendary men’s college basketball coach who led UCLA to 10 national championships in the late 60’s and early 70’s, wrote “Wooden on Leadership.” He has been called the greatest coach of all time, regardless of sport, and has written several books about character habits and leadership. Some of his remarkable achievements are the 10 national championships, seven of them in a row, 88 consecutive victories, 38 straight tournament playoff wins, four perfect seasons (all but the 88 consecutive wins are still records), and in 41 years of coaching he only had one losing season which was his first. Of course with this type of success coaches and business leaders around the world wanted to know what was his secret. How did he do it? The secret, he reveals, is simple, and parallels many of the same principles of servant leadership. Coach Wooden does not simply offer up random thoughts on leadership and coaching. He graduated Purdue as an English teacher and, barring a few financial hurdles, he would have been quite satisfied to have become a teacher rather than a coach. But he had been a highly successful athlete at Purdue and was sought after as a coach for a high school program in Indiana. It was then that he began to develop an overall concept for leadership that has over the years solidified into a tangible philosophy that has been used by many leaders since then. ...

...ch6-2.qxd 27/01/2009 11:59 Page 167 6.2 Corporate Governance in China Neng Liang and Michael Useem Corporate governance in China has undergone significant change during the past three decades as the Chinese economy has liberalized and developed. Prior to the historic reforms initiated in 1978 the economy had been structured as a state-owned, centrally planned economy; practically all enterprises were government or commune owned. Today, many companies are partially or wholly privately owned, and that historic change has brought a sea change in Chinese corporate governance, with securities policies well in place and governing boards well established. The first significant changes in company ownership came in the 1980s as small state-owned enterprises and collectively owned enterprises in rural areas began issuing shares to the public. As the reforms spread to larger enterprises, the rapid increase in companyissued securities led the Chinese government to swiftly create a capital market from scratch. In 1990 it authorized the cities of Shanghai and Shenzhen to establish national stock exchanges. The stock exchanges were tiny at the start: just 14 companies were listed at the outset, and in the early years state agencies and the listing companies kept some two-thirds of the shares out of the market. Company listing and trading volume rapidly increased in 21 IntCorp ch6-2.qxd 27/01/2009 11:59 Page 168 168 ᔡ PROFILES OF LEADING COUNTRIES...

...leaders and HR professionals have the opportunity to understand the history that brings us to our current situation, to be informed by predictable trends, and to make the transformation necessary to result in organizational competitive advantage and HR functional viability. Over the last hundred years, the HR profession evolved dramatically, usually in response to external conditions. Unquestionably we are changing—the issue in front of us is whether we will define that future or simply react to the changes that continue to occur in the economy and in our business models. Human ResouRce Planning 30.3 11 If we do not step forward with compelling HR leadership, the future will be determined for us. When the June 2005 Business Week reports “Why HR Gets No Respect,” the August 2005 Fast Company proclaims “Why We Hate HR,” and the “evil personnel director” in Dilbert continues to get knowing laughs, something is going on that the HR profession needs to address. This set of issues goes beyond the never-ending lamentations about lacking a seat at the table for the top HR person—this is about the future of HR in total. We present a historical review and conclude that HR’s greatest opportunity is to develop the organizational capability to be a relevant and respected internal consulting organization focused on talent. The good news is that the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to do this exist now and are teachable. A virtual army of HR professionals “get this” and are ready...

...of good character from every country, religion, race, age, income, education, and opinion, who believe in a supreme being.”(What is Freemasonry?). Furthermore, the Freemasons claim to promote the idea that “each man has responsibility to improve himself while being devoted to his family, faith, country, and fraternity.”(What is Freemasonry?). This sounds innocent enough, but does it provide a full picture of Freemasonry? While always a secretive organization, several events in modern times have led to an increased interest in the Freemasonry and suspicions about the actual reasons for their existence. How did the Freemasonry begin? One theory is that the Freemasons were originally a group of tradesmen who worked as masons. (www.grandlodge-tn.org) A mason is, by dictionary definition, “a person whose trade is building with units of various natural or artificial mineral products, as stones, bricks, cinder blocks, or tiles, usually with the use of mortar or cement as a bonding agent”. (www.dictionary.com). And according to historical records, the Freemasons began as illegal trade unions of stonemasons in England during the late Middle Ages. (Ridley,p.6). However, from the 1500’s to the 1700’s, Freemasonry was transformed from an illegal union of stonemasons into an organization of gentlemen that claimed to promote the tolerance of different religions while maintaining a belief in “god”. (Ibid, p. 17). June 24, 1717, was the official date when...

...Journal of Marketing Communications Vol. 15, Nos. 2 – 3, April– July 2009, 139–155 Building strong brands in a modern marketing communications environment Kevin Lane Keller* E.B. Osborn Professor of Marketing, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College, 100 Tuck Hall, Hanover, NH 03755, USA To help marketers to build and manage their brands in a dramatically changing marketing communications environment, the customer-based brand equity model that emphasizes the importance of understanding consumer brand knowledge structures is put forth. Specifically, the brand resonance pyramid is reviewed as a means to track how marketing communications can create intense, active loyalty relationships and affect brand equity. According to this model, integrating marketing communications involves mixing and matching different communication options to establish the desired awareness and image in the minds of consumers. The versatility of on-line, interactive marketing communications to marketers in brand building is also addressed. Keywords: customer-based brand equity; brand resonance; brand building; integrated marketing communications; interactive marketing communications Introduction The marketing communications environment has changed enormously from what it was 50, 30 or perhaps even as few as 10 years ago. Technology and the Internet are fundamentally changing the way the world interacts and communicates. At the same time, branding has become a key marketing priority for most companies...

IT can be a really tough gig for making a valiant attempt to demonstrate business credibility by providing solutions that can have significant business impact, regardless of industry and regardless of vertical. It can. However, IT departments are constantly seen as “service providers” to the organization.
