      • Review:: 'Dont buy from amazon Attn all students! Amazon promises to send books by a specific date then changes the dates without your consent. Trying to get a refund is a nightmare. Be prepared to get stuck without the book and still get the bill. Customer service is outsourced to India and is no help even if you could understand them. 4 wks and counting and still no promised refund. This not the only time this has happened.The issue is not with the seller it is Amazon.
      • Review:: 'Excellent Book I had this for my business law class and it was excellent! It is easy to read, the cases are interesting and the format is one of the best for a textbook! It made business law enjoyable!
      • Review:: 'Great Business Law Book! This book is very informative. I enjoyed reading the chapters and learned quite a bit more than I already knew. This book was used my Business Law I class in College and I intend to keep it for future reference.
      • Review:: 'Great online resource I found this resource to be extremely beneficial. I even shared it with other lawyers and clients at [ShyresLaw]Create?.com It is a great place to start.
      • Review:: 'packaging not acceptable, everything else was great The book was brand new, but the packaging was little more than newspaper covering!! The binding of the book was torn, I believe because of the poor packaging, which is unacceptable for a brand new book. However, the price was very good, and the item arrived in a timely manner.

Juicing the Orange- How to Turn Creativity into a Powerful Business Advantage

Cover of ISBN 1591399270Juicing the Orange
How to Turn Creativity into a Powerful Business Advantage:
Book by Pat Fallon and Fred Senn. Harvard Business School Press 272 pages Hardcover Published 2006-07-18. Description: Too many companies think creativity means throwing money into marketing efforts and giving lip service to "out of the box" thinking. But such efforts rarely have a positive impact on the bottom line. Pat Fallon and Fred Senn argue that leaders have more creativity within their organizations than they realize--but they inadvertently stifle it or channel it in ineffective ways. Juicing the Orange outlines a disciplined approach to building creativity actively into the organizational culture and leveraging that creativity into campaigns that deliver measurable results. Drawing from 25 years of successful marketing and acclaimed, award-winning work, the authors show that bankable, creative ideas come from zeroing in on the one key business problem that must be solved and then rigorously unearthing insights that will lead to a spectacular solution. Behind-the-scenes stories of successful and failed campaigns for companies in diverse industries reveal the core secrets of training for creativity: develop a proprietary brand emotion, offer big ideas without a big budget, and get customers to seek out your message. Illustrating the link between creativity and profits, Juicing the Orange helps industry players measure their success at the cash register.
      • Review:: 'So-so. I am not going to not recommend this book. However, if you have't read many books on marketing/advertising, there are much better authors in the field: Scott Bedbury, Al Ries, Gerald Zaltman, and Sergio Zyman, and Harry Beckwith, to name just a few. To me, this book from Pat Fallon felt more like a me-too in the category, rather than a heart-felt effort. It comes across as a quickly written attempt to capitalize on a genre. The book has some insights into specific campaigns, but lacks any true depth. And quite frankly, there is nothing new here, unless you are new to books on this subject. Then there is the name. Hm. "Jucing the Orange." It isn't very creative, is it? It seems like a poor attempt at trying to create a mémé, a phrase, that will catch on. I sincerely hope it doesn't, as it truly lacks any ingenuity. It is banal, at best. Yeah, I get it: squeeze until you get something - everything - out of it. But, really, juicing an orange isn't that difficult, so does not fairly reflect the late nites, the stuggle for the killer idea, and the stress involved in this field. Do yourself a favor, and pick up Scott Bedbury's "A New Brand World" before bothering with this fluff piece.
      • Review:: 'Fantastic!! I loved this book. I found this fun and entertaining while providing specific, salient, concise and actionable ideas on managing a business while being driven by creativity. I'm a recovering business executive just starting my own entrepreneurial enterprise and I found this work enormously helpful in helping me define and launch my business. I can't recommend this book enough. GET THIS BOOK!
      • Review:: 'one tasty orange True or false: is advertising obsolete? Fallon and Senn say true---unless it changes. And they go about showing how it must change in recounting their best campaigns(with some intellectual honesty in mentioning their losers). The Big Ideas: don't steal a competitor's emotion, find your own; ads must bear an A to B connection in more revenue generation; take risks to survive because incremental change will kill you. The chapter on Lee Jeans is one of the best: trust the focus groups when they have passion(here, teenagers want to feel indestructible in their jeans); don't ape the competition(the strong desire to be sexy like levi's); don't be afraid to go to your roots(here, bring back a doll icon from the compnay's past); and know, above all else, that emotions drive decisions---the reason is tacked on later. They also talk about how they run their shop---fire prima dona employees or unreasonable clients; understand what is worth fighting over; undertstand that creativity is team driven; believe in a few core idea and push them over and again.
      • Review:: 'A Juicy Congratulations to Fred Senn and Pat Fallon I found this book as enlightening and delightful as sitting and having a drink with a great leader in advertising. Personally, it has reinvigorated my own perspective as an agency Account Manager and I'm excited and motivated all over again about the accomplishments and contributions we can all make in marketing.
      • Review:: 'How to outsmart, not outspend your competition. Solid arguments that transcend the "agency manifesto" inherent in agency books. There's always a whiff of Agency Manifesto hanging around any book that emanates from Madison Avenue - a sense of self-justification perhaps. But where Kevin Roberts' sef-delusional [SiSoMo]Create? smacks of Saatchis agenda to repackage the concept of moving pictures in the cyber age, Pat Fallon's "Juicing the Orange" is a much more laid-back affair, recounting some big stories from the last 25 of his ageny's work. The central argument is that in the current media environment, the winning strategy is not going to be about media tonnage (how much you can spend) but on the creative leverage you can attain through a truly hot idea. Is this really a new idea? I'm not certain it is, but the stories, well told, show great examples of creative thinking in the services of winning against the tendency for brands to commoditize, of reaching customers when there is very little media budget (BMW's internet camapign) of rescuing a laughable brand from extinction (Skoda, a Euro car brand the equivalent of American Motors' Gremlin, became sexy again through great creative and solid product development from VW). What gives this book extra clout, and puts it on the "deserves to be read" category is its call to management of companies to unleash the creative potential within their own organisations. Each of the stories may reflect a good campaign, sure, but the kernel of each campaign comes from the creative essence of the client. This calls for the ability to attain truly deep insights about the organisation, its culture and its marketing challenge. In the end, the story isn't just about a hot agency - it is about visionary, sometimes risk taking management, and incisive truly effect market research. In the end the authors transcend the 'agency manifesto' syndrome, and issue an important challenge to business people. The timing is good, the message is right on.
