This new book focuses on the analysis of the online strategy and development of the luxury industry, tracing the evolution of the Internet from a means of communication to a trade and distribution channel. The author provides a comprehensive evaluation and a critical assessment of the tactics required for the management of luxury brands online.
Places depend on their reputations for almost everything in the modern world: tourism, foreign investment, the respect and interest of the international media, attracting talented immigrants and students, cultural exchanges, engaging peacefully and productively with the governments of other places. But what can actually be done to understand and measure the reputations of places, and even to influence them?

The Elephant in the Boardroom The Causes of Leadership Derailment
The Leadership Illusion The Importance of Context and Connections
Adrian Furnham
Mr Tony Hall and Karen Janman
This book from the acclaimed management writer Adrian Furnham, explores the dark side of leadership and how and why leaders can have a negative impact upon their companies and organizations. It asks why too often people do not speak out but instead ignore the problems they are causing.
This book is about what the authors call a ‘leadership phenomenon’; the hard wired habit of writers, researchers and leaders themselves, when examining the causes of success or failure, to focus on predominantly the individual and often the context. But very rarely both. The authors argue that to make sense of leadership firstly you have to make sense of the context and the individual. To try to understand a leader without the context is only half the story. The authors attempt to tell the whole story.
ADRIAN FURNHAM is Professor of Psychology at University College, London, UK. He is on the editorial board of a number of journals, has received many awards, and was recognized as the most productive psychologists in the world from 1980 to 1989. 256pp • 234x156mm • Hardback 978-0-230-22953-2 • December 2009 • £25.00

Marketing Through Turbulent Times
The Golden Crossroads
Jenny Darroch
Multidisciplinary Findings for Business Success from the Worlds of Fine Arts, Design and Culture
‘While every executive is currently preoccupied, and perhaps immobilized, with how to compete in tumultuous times, this is the very first practical managerial guidebook to help managers not only compete, but win. Importantly, this is not simply an interesting ‘thought piece’, but rather based on solid empirical evidence examining how firms accelerated out of recessionary times versus firms that simply survived.’ - Bernie Jaworski, Monitor Executive Development, Monitor Group What will happen to the marketing industry when the recession comes to an end? How will customers respond to organizations that mistreated them in the past? What can organizations do now? This book addresses these questions by tying together four themes: democracy, economic recession, individual depression and customer-centred strategies. JENNY DARROCH is an Assistant Professor in Marketing at the Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University, USA. 256pp • 234x156mm • Hardback 978-0-230-23730-8 • November 2009 • £25.00
Marco Bevolo ‘With this book, Marco actually asks business leaders to think the un-thinkable, to start the impossible; namely to re-establish an ideology that fights the opportunism of the traditional leadership approach, which has clearly failed. Marco shows how business leaders can create new wealth if they make use of the findings that art can give them.’ - Johannes Hartman, VP, CMI Western Europe, Unilever, Rotterdam This book looks at the field of fine arts, design and culture as an alternative source of inspiration for ways to work. It is a book about a better future for brand marketing and business leadership, thanks to the dreams and the visions of artists, designers and other creative industry leaders. MARCO BEVOLO is former Director at Philips Design headquarters in the Netherlands, where he was the driving force behind CultureScan, the cultural futures research program.
