Online Market Research Surveys: Understanding Incidence Rate
This article discusses the concept of “incidence rate” and how it is used in the context of online market research surveys. In practice, there is a difference between a “natural incidence rate” and a “practical incidence rate.” For some types of studies, the natural incidence rate may be of interest for analysis purposes by researchers at market research firms or marketing departments of companies or other organizations. For other types of studies, it may not be necessary to estimate “natural incidence,” and research users may become more concerned about ways to increase the “practical incidence” rate in order to reduce costs. It is important to understand when an estimate of natural incidence is needed vs. when it is safe to focus on increasing the practical incidence rate to reduce costs.
Market Research Surveys and Natural Incidence Rate
An example can help to explain these concepts. Imagine that a researcher wants to conduct an online market research survey of people who “regularly” visit large bookstores (e.g., Borders, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million). For this study, “regularly” could be defined as “at least once a month.” Many adult consumers would be sampled at random and invited to participate in the survey. For those who respond to the survey, the first question would ask how often they visit large bookstores. Those answering once a month or more often would be considered “qualified” to continue and complete a full survey for the study. Those answering less often than once a month would be considered “disqualified” for the full survey, and their survey would end after this first question. However, the respondents “disqualified” from the full survey (because they do not visit large bookstores “regularly”) would still be tallied.
Although the primary purpose of the study may be to learn about the detailed behavior of those who visit large bookstores regularly, the researcher may also be interested in the “incidence” of these types of consumers. That is, the researcher might ask, what proportion of adult consumers are “regular” visitors of large bookstores? This can be estimated by examining how many “qualified” to complete the full survey vs. how many were “disqualified.” The “incidence” of regular visitors of large bookstores would be estimated using the number qualified for the full survey divided by the total that responded. In other words, the incidence would be the number qualified divided by the sum of those qualified and disqualified.
This incidence may be very useful for the researcher, since it provides an estimate of the proportion of adult consumers who are regular visitors of large bookstores. Sometimes market research firms will use an estimate of “natural incidence” to “size the market.” That is, multiply the incidence by the number in the whole adult population to get the estimated size of the “target population” of regular visitors of large bookstores.
However, the calculation of “natural incidence” assumes that adult consumers were sampled at random to participate in the survey. If this were not the case, then the calculation described above would not yield a valid estimate of natural incidence.
In fact, many studies do not require pure random sampling of all adult consumers. Instead, particular types of consumers may be “targeted.” For example, many market research firms with online panels have extensive information “on file” about their panelists. Let’s assume that the researcher is conducting online market research using a panel in which bookstore behavior is already known. That is, when panelists joined the research panel, they were asked a variety of questions about their shopping behavior, and one of the questions was about frequency of visiting large bookstores. As a result, it would be possible to “target” regular bookstore visitors from the panel and only invite these panelists to participate in the new survey.
Market Research Surveys and Practical Incidence Rate
If regular bookstore visitors were targeted from the panel, then most would be “qualified” for the full survey. To be sure, some would be “disqualified” if the information “on file” about the panelists was sometimes no longer accurate. For example, if someone joined the panel a year ago, they may have been visiting large bookstores regularly at that time, but they may have changed their behavior since then. But, the number “disqualified” in this case would be very low compared to conducting a survey with consumers selected purely at random. Thus, “targeting” particular types of panelists can result in a very high practical incidence rate, but this would also invalidate estimates of “natural incidence.”
At this point, the reader might ask why target panelists based on information already “on file” if this will invalidate estimates of “true” or “natural” incidence? The answer has everything to do with cost. Targeting reduces research costs significantly because fewer survey invitations need to be sent; administrative time for market research firms in managing the project is lower; and, in many cases, the total incentives paid out can decrease. (Many market research panels offer reduced incentives to panelists who respond to a survey invitation even if they don’t qualify for a full survey.) When the true incidence would be very low, targeting can reduce costs significantly.
As budgets for market research surveys are often limited, targeting can be an important way to minimize costs (assuming information already exists “on file” that can be used for targeting). This may be no problem for studies that do not require an estimate of the “true” or “natural” incidence rate. But, when the researcher does in fact want to estimate the natural incidence rate, it is important to avoid targeting that would invalidate such an estimate.
The bottom line for researchers interested in conducting a new survey of web panelists: In situations when natural incidence is not a concern, make sure to inquire about options for targeting the online market research so that costs may be reduced. In situations when estimating natural incidence is an important part of the analysis, make sure targeting will not be used that would invalidate your analysis.

A multilevel analysis of organizational and market predictors of patient assessments of inpatient hospital care. $69 This dissertation was motivated by the limited research on macro-level predictors of patient assessments of care. A theoretical model for studying multilevel predictors of patient assessments of care was developed, based on Donabedian’s structure-process-outcomes model and resource dependency theory, to guide this study. Overall, the sample included 24,887 medical/surgical patients from 173 hospitals, nested in 46 counties in CA; the data were derived from the 2002 NRC Picker Patients’ Evaluation of Performance in California (PEP-C) survey, the American Hospital Association (AHA) Annual Survey, and the Area Resource File (ARF). The study employed three-level hierarchical linear models, where patient, organizational (hospital), and market predictors were introduced in a sequential model-building approach to explain variations across data levels in process quality and overall satisfaction with care. Six of the ten hypotheses were either completely or partially supported by the results, providing support for the theoretical model. This study found that variations in all domains of patient assessments of care abound. Strikingly, however, most of the overall variations (95% – 99%) were within- hospitals, rather than between-hospitals or between-markets. Patient characteristics accounted for up to 13% of variations at the within-hospital level. Interestingly, despite the relatively small between-hospital and between-market variations, net of patient characteristics, organizational- and market-level characteristics predicted a sizable amount of the true variations in process quality and overall satisfaction with care domains. The findings of this study suggest that most of the variations in patient assessments exist within the patient-health-care-provider relationship. Overall, this study supports the robustness of patient assessments of care in elucidating and explaining sources of variations across data levels. Other implications are discussed. |

A surrogate measure of customer satisfaction in the manufacture of Printed Wiring Boards. $108 The objective of this research is to determine and develop a model that is capable of accurately measuring customer satisfaction for different industries and in particularly for the Printed Wiring Boards (PWB) Manufacturers. The new model will incorporate data not being collected or utilized by the survey method of determining customer satisfaction.;The method used is a weighted average of satisfaction among several researched categories with percentages that accurately represent the relative importance of multiple facets of the PWB manufacturers customer satisfaction.;A very common term in quality assurance is that “What is not measured accurately can not be evaluated or managed correctly,” thus customer satisfaction is a very important aspect of any business, industry, or government. A satisfied customer will do more business and recommend it to other potential customers. Thus the business will grow and more revenues result. On the other hand, an unsatisfied customer will abandon the business and encourage more customers not to get involved with the same business so the business may decline and lose its market share and profitability. The categories that contribute to PWB customer satisfaction will be determined by conducting surveys among the leaders and best in the business of the PWB industry in addition to discovery of related articles that define the categories of the customer satisfaction for the PWB manufacturers.;Once the categories are determined, the research concentrates on the weighting of the categories that most contribute to the PWB customer’s satisfaction and a measure of satisfaction is derived. The model is easily applied to any other kind of PWB business or service industry.;The model is based on empirical methods that will give an accurate measurement for the PWB customer’s satisfaction. This in turn allows organizations the opportunity for improving customer satisfaction and increasing market share. The algorithm is based on characteristics |

An analysis of student satisfaction with dance curriculum in universities in Taiwan. $49.99 The five-day work policy imposed by the government in 2001 following rapid economic development in Taiwan provided an extra day off from work and school every week, and people started looking for leisure and recreation activities for the “long weekend.” To meet the needs for leisure and recreation, many investors in Taiwan started to put money into the fitness market to provide various facilities to attract people and help them to maintain their health. These places also introduced programs for Yoga, traditional ethnic dance, and Tai Chi to achieve the purposes of exercise and releasing pressure from work, in addition to physical fitness. Aerobic dance has gained popularity in fitness in the past 10 years. Dance has been considered one of the top choices among diversified leisure and recreational practices. A side benefit to this is that people have started to learn to appreciate dance, as well as other artistic activities and events. Many instructors teaching Yoga, ethnic dance, and aerobic dance do not have a background in dance. Based on the belief that students majoring in dance can provide more professional instruction, the main purpose of this study was to examine the satisfaction level of students majoring in dance as it related to the dance curricula offered in their schools. A secondary purpose of this study was to determine whether or not universities offering disciplines in dance should alter or redesign their curricula to integrate dance into fitness or leisure programs to provide students with more career options.;Descriptive research was conducted in this study. A self-constructed survey questionnaire was developed as an instrument for data collection. The subjects were students majoring in dance at the university level (N = 439) in Taiwan. The effective rate of returned survey questionnaires was over 99%. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was .874, which showed the stability of the internal-consistency reliability. SPSS, version 15.0, for MS Windows was |

Cabeau Travel Evolution Pillow – Grey $34.95 What is the Feng Shui of Travel? This is how a surveyed travelers described the Evolution Pillow. Cabeau has set out to transform coach class travelling into a luxurious and restful experience and proudly presents the Evolution Pillow. It only takes one time using it to understand why people are calling this the best travel pillow in the world. This pillow was created to provide 360-degree support and comfort and is made with world class High IQ Dynamic Density Memory Foam (anyone who has ever paid $2,000-$8,000 for a bed mattress can certainly understand the difference between the quality memory foam used in the Evolution Pillow versus the cheap polyfill material used in other pillows). A research team interviewed over 1,500 travelers at airports throughout the world and more than 80% of those surveyed said the reason they owned a travel pillow was because it was better than nothing. The Evolution Pillow was developed as an answer for the 90% of people who don’t purchase travel pillows because they don?t work. In a separate survey, when comparing the Top 5 most popular pillow designs on the market, every traveler surveyed voted the Evolution Pillow as the most comfortable travel pillow. Thanks to customer feedback, Cabeau has also discovered an exciting application for the Evolution Pillow. The product that kept them sleeping during their flights and car rides was also used as the most comfortable tanning pillow ever! The pillow forms a perfect cup for your forehead and cheeks (much like a massage table face rest) and helps any sunbather avoid the sun’s glare while lounging by the water in complete comfort. All of us want to travel in comfort and it is becoming increasingly difficult to do so with the limitations on carry-ons and space in planes and other modes of transportation. The Evolution Pillow uses the same patented ergonomic design as Cabeau’s hugely successful 2010 model (the Complete Support Travel Pillow) and incorporates 7 un… |

Closed-End Investment Companies $155 Closed-End Investment Companies (CEICs) were the dominant form of investment companies in the United States during the early part of this century, but interest in them declined after the 1929 sk market crash. Since 1985, however, there has been a significant revival of interest in CEICs. A substantial amount of academic research has focused on the nature of closed-end funds, discounts and premiums, and on the share price behavior of these firms, which often results in the prices differing from the net asset value of the shares. This book is designed for the academic researcher interested in CEICs and the practitioner interested in using CEICs as an investment vehicle. The authors summarize the evolution of CEICs, present the factors that cause CEIC shares to trade at different levels from their net asset values, provide a complete survey of the academic literature on this topic, and summarize the current state of research on CEICs. |

Code Generation for Embedded Processors $289 Modern electronics is driven by the explosive growth of digital communications and multi-media technology. A basic challenge is to design first-time-right complex digital systems, that meet stringent constraints on performance and power dissipation. In order to combine this growing system complexity with an increasingly short time-to-market, new system design technologies are emerging based on the paradigm of embedded programmable processors. This concept introduces modularity, flexibility and re-use in the electronic system design process. However, its success will critically depend on the availability of efficient and reliable CAD tools to design, programme and verify the functionality of embedded processors. Recently, new research efforts emerged on the edge between software compilation and hardware synthesis, to develop high-quality code generation tools for embedded processors. Code Generation for Embedded Systems provides a survey of these new developments. Although not limited to these targets, the main emphasis is on code generation for modern DSP processors. Important themes covered by the book include: the scope of general purpose versus application-specific processors, machine code quality for embedded applications, retargetability of the code generation process, machine description formalisms, and code generation methodologies. Code Generation for Embedded Systems is the essential introduction to this fast developing field of research for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. |

Cognititve Interviewing and Questionnaire Design $117 As both an academic instructor in questionnaire design and a research design methodologist for the federal government, I feel this book is very timely, useful for students and practitioners, and unique in its use of real world practical examples that most everyone can relate. — Terry Richardson, General Accounting Office The combination of theory and practical application will make this a useful book for students as well as professionals who want to learn how to incorporate cognitive interviewing into the questionnaire design process. — Rachel Caspar, RTI International The design and evaluation of questionnaires — and of other written and oral materials — is a challenging endeavor, fraught with potential pitfalls. Cognitive Interviewing: A Tool for Improving Questionnaire Design describes a means of systematically developing survey questions through investigations that intensively probe the thought processes of individuals who are presented with those inquiries. The work provides general guidance about questionnaire design, development, and pre-testing sequence, with an emphasis on the cognitive interview. In particular, the book gives detailed instructions about the use of verbal probing techniques, and how one can elicit additional information from subjects about their thinking and about the manner in which they react to tested questions. These tools help researchers discover how well their questions are working, where they are failing, and determine what they can do to rectify the wide variety of problems that may surface while working with questionnaires. Cognitive Interviewing is ideally suited as a course text for advanced undergraduate and graduateresearch courses across the social sciences. Professional researchers and faculty in the social sciences, as well as practice fields such as medicine, business, and education, will also find this an invaluable reference for survey research.

Combating Spyware in the Enterprise $6.05 Combating Spyware in the Enterprise is the first book published on defending enterprise networks from increasingly sophisticated and malicious spyware. Combating Spyware in the Enterprise begins by examining the various types of insidious spyware and adware currently propagating across the internet and infiltrating enterprise networks. This section closely examines Spyware??’s ongoing transformation from nuisance to malicious, sophisticated attack vector. Next, the book uncovers spyware??’s intricate economy and network of malicious hackers and criminals. Forensic investigations presented in this section of the book reveal how increasingly sophisticated spyware can compromise enterprise networks via trojans, keystroke loggers, system monitoring, distributed denial of service attacks, backdoors, viruses, and worms. After close examination of these attack vectors, the book begins to detail both manual and automated techniques for scanning your network for the presence of spyware, and customizing your IDS and IPS to detect spyware. From here, the book goes on to detail how to prevent spyware from being initially installed to mitigating the damage inflicted by spyware should your network become infected. Techniques discussed in this section include slowing the exposure rate; web filtering; using FireFox, MacOSX, or Linux; patching and updating, machine restrictions, shielding, deploying anti-spyware, and re-imaging. The book concludes with an analysis of the future of spyware and what the security community must accomplish to win the ware against spyware. * A recent survey published by Information Security Magazine stated that ???combating spyare??? was the #2 priority for securityprofessionals in 2005* Despite the high priority placed on combating spyware by security professionals, there are no other books published or announced that address this market * Author Paul Piccard is Director of Research for Webroot, which is a market leader for pure-play anti-sp |

Companies Based in Evansville, Indiana: Television Preview, Berry Plastics, Shoe Carnival, Atlas Van Lines, Vectren, Old National Bank $9.16 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Television Preview, Berry Plastics, Shoe Carnival, Atlas Van Lines, Vectren, Old National Bank, Integra Bank, American General Finance, South Central Communications, Accuride, Karges Furniture. Excerpt: Television Preview (also known as “New TV Preview”) is a market research company that purports to test pilots of new television shows while actually looking for audience’s reactions to commercials presented in a “home-like” atmosphere between breaks in these shows. Based in Evansville, Indiana, Television Preview is a division of RSC the Quality Measurement Company, a member of the ArsGroup. The preview offer is considered a scam because, even though Television Preview takes no money from viewers, the company is not associated with any actual television producers and the “pilots” they preview are years old. Viewers are instead asked to rate the commercials they see. Also, under the guise of selecting prizes they’d like to win in a drawing, viewers choose their “favorites” from pages of pictures of consumer products. In addition, while invitations are distributed to adults of all ages, most of the attendees are senior citizens aged 50 or over, with the commercials and questions slanted towards them. Television Preview randomly sends out invitations and tickets to specific screenings, usually held in hotel conference rooms. The invitation contains text insinuating that the viewer will help decide what will be featured on television’s next fall lineup: You have been selected to participate in a survey whose findings will directly influence what you see on television in the future. You have been selected to evaluate not-yet-released television material that is being considered for nationwide broadcast. You have been selected to help represent t… More: |

Consumer Attitudes Toward Credit Insurance $149 Consumer Attitudes Toward Credit Insurance provides the findings of a survey of approximately 3600 individuals who had the opportunity to purchase credit life insurance in conjunction with all types of consumer loans, except first mortgages and credit cards. The survey that forms the basis of the book was conducted in 1993 by the Credit Research Center at Purdue University’s Krannert Graduate School of Management. It replicates and expands upon four previous national studies of credit insurance consumers, done between 1970 and 1985. Despite the generally positive findings of prior research with respect to consumer attitudes toward credit insurance, several open questions remain of interest to policy makers, specifically the question of whether coercion is involved in the sale of the insurance. Consumer Attitudes Toward Credit Insurance addresses these outstanding issues. It presents a profile of who is currently being served by the credit insurance market, as well as the reasons borrowers purchase the product and their experience with the offer of credit insurance at point of sale. |

Credit Risk: Modeling, Valuation and Hedging $115 Mathematical finance and financial engineering have been rapidly expanding fields of science over the past three decades. The main reason behind this phenomenon has been the success of sophisticated quantitative methodologies in helping professionals to manage financial risks. The newly developed credit derivatives industry has grown around the need to handle credit risk, which is one of the fundamental factors of financial risk. In recent years, we have witnessed a tremendous acceleration in research efforts aimed at better apprehending, modeling and hedging of this kind of risk. One of the objectives has been to understand links between credit risk and other major sources of uncertainty, such as the market risk or the liquidity risk. The main objective of this monograph is to present a comprehensive survey ofthe past developments in the area of credit risk research, as well as put forth the most recent advancements in this field. An important aspect of this text is that it attempts to bridge the gap between the mathematical theory of credit risk and the financial practice, which serves as the motivation for the mathematical modeling studied in the book. Mahtematical developments are presented in a thorough manner and cover the structural (value-of-the-firm) and the reduced-form (intensity-based) approaches to credit risk modeling, applied both to single and to multiple defaults. In particular, the book offers a detailed study of various arbitrage-free models of defaultable term structures with several rating grades. This book will serve as a valuable reference for financial analysts and traders involved with credit derivatives. Some aspects of the book may also be useful for market practitioners with managing credit-risk sensitives portfolios. Graduate students and researchers in areas such as finance theory, mathematical finance, financial engineering and probability theory will benefit from the book as well.

Digitally enhancing customer agility and competitive activity: How firms use information technology to sense and respond to market opportunities in hypercompetitive environments. $69 This dissertation studies how information technology (IT) facilitates customer agility and, in turn, competitive activity. Customer agility refers to the extent to which a firm is able to sense and respond quickly to customer-based opportunities for innovation and competitive action. As such, customer agility consists of two key dimensions: sensing and responding. We propose that IT plays a critical role in facilitating a firm’s customer agility, in particular, its sensing and responding components.;The Internet has spawned a rich set of tools that allow firms to engage in rich, interactive dialogues with a broad and diverse customer base, thereby enhancing firms’ ability to sense and respond to shifting customer needs and preferences. Although academics and practitioners suggest that IT is a key enabler of customer agility, we know little concerning how and why IT facilitates customer agility. Building on the dynamic capability literature, we propose that the “knowledge creating” synergy derived from the interaction between a firm’s web-based infrastructure and its analytical ability will enhance the firm’s ability to sense customer-based opportunities, and the “process enhancing” synergy obtained from the interaction between a firm’s coordination efforts and its level of IT integration will facilitate the firm’s ability to respond to those opportunities. Finally, we propose that the alignment between customer sensing capability and customer responding capability will impact the firm’s competitive activity.;We test our model with a two-stage longitudinal research design in which we survey marketing executives of high-tech firms. Our results find that web-based (resource and user) infrastructure has a significant effect on customer sensing capability. Moreover, analytical ability positively moderates these relationships. We also find that interfunctional coordination and channel coordination both have a significant impact on customer responding capability. |

Do IT Smart: Seven Rules for Superior Information Technology Performance By Rolf-Dieter Kempis and Jurgen Ringback $24.99 A decade ago, manufacturing companies had visions of paperless offices, automated plants, and virtual enterprises. But the euphoria quickly evaporated when these visions failed to materialize. Now, from in-depth interviews in a worldwide survey of seventy manufacturing firms, a research team from the prestigious consulting group McKinsey & Company concludes that, far from being a failure, information technology (IT) can be a vital strategic weapon in the manufacturing sector, just as it has proved to be in service industries.<P>In <I>Do IT Smart,</I> experts Rolf-Dieter Kempis and Jürgen Ringbeck along with the McKinsey team identify four cultures of IT users — stars, big spenders, cautious spenders, and laggards — based on how efficiently and effectively the users manage IT. The stars stand out because their strong command of IT means they are better able to manage core processes such as R&D, sales and service, and order processing, which in turn produces tangible payoffs in profitability, growth, and market share. From their study of star performers, the authors formulate seven rules for developing a superior IT organization. First, they argue, managers must make IT a top management issue and, second, a priority in product development. IT must be viewed as a strategic tool so that IT strategy can be aligned with business strategy. Clear objectives must be set, and core business processes redesigned. Warning that IT is reaching saturation in administrative applications, the authors describe how it is far more profitable to integrate IT into marketing, sales, and customer service. Finally, they describe how all these elements must be brought together into a lean, customer-oriented IT network.<P>McKinsey’s breakthrough study shows that as organizations are increasingly overwhelmed with data, IT will become more of a dividing line between the winners and the losers. IT stars will make quantum leaps in effectiveness, while poor management of IT results in a cost |

E-Commerce: A Platform for Integrated Marketing: A Case Study on U.S. Retailing $24.68 According to market forecasts, e-commerce will attain growing importance in the near future; the nature of business transactions is changing. However, there is little research about its advantages, challenges or what contributes to its acceptance by the public. The book identifies trends in business-to-consumer e-commerce both from the point of view of both the retailer and the customer. Additionally, it contains a case study of a well known U.S. retailer and a corresponding survey of its customers, including customer profiles, market segments and strategies. The editors show that e-commerce is far more than a mere selling and distributing channel. It is a platform for integrated marketing that takes customers’ needs into consideration while at the same time enforcing customer focus. While it may be too early to predict its ultimate impacts, e-commerce is certainly a major source of business opportunity today. The greatest threat to business may result from not taking action to participate. |

ECONOMET MODELS MARKET AECO16H $54.87 In the 16th Edition of Advances in Econometrics we present twelve papers discussing the current interface between Marketing and Econometrics. The authors are leading scholars in the fields and introduce the latest models for analysing marketing data. The papers are representative of the types of problems and methods that are used within the field of marketing. Marketing focuses on the interaction between the firm and the consumer. Economics encompasses this interaction as well as many others. Economics, along with psychology and sociology, provides a theoretical foundation for marketing. Given the applied nature of marketing research, measurement and quantitative issues arise frequently. Quantitative marketing tends to rely heavily upon statistics and econometrics. However, quantitative marketing can place a different emphasis upon the problem than econometrics, even when using the same techniques. A basic difference between quantitative marketing research and econometrics tends to be the pragmatism that is found in many marketing studies. Another important motivating factor in marketing research is the type of data that is available. Applied econometrics tends to rely heavily on data collected by governmental organizations. In contrast marketing often uses data collected by private firms or marketing research firms. Observational and survey data are quite similar to those used in econometrics. However, the remaining types of data, panel and transactional, can look quite different from what may be familiar to econometricians. The automation and computerization of much of the sales transaction process leaves an audit trail that results in huge quanitities of data. Apopular area of study is the use of scanner data collected at the checkout stand using bar code readers. Methods that work for small data sets may not work well in these larger data sets. In addition, new sources of data, such as clickstream data from a web site, will offer new |

Econometric Modelling of Stock Market Intraday Activity $189 The recent widespread availability of intraday tick-by-tickdatabases for stocks, options and currencies has had an importantimpact on research in applied financial econometrics and marketmicrostructure. Econometric Modelling of Stock Market IntradayActivity focuses on the econometric modelling of intraday tick-by-ticktransaction data (trades and quote) for stock traded on the New YorkStock Exchange (NYSE). Recent quantitative modelling tools such asintraday duration models and GARCH modes are presented. A survey oftrading mechanisms in financial markets and a review of marketmicrostructure issues is also included, which allows to gain a betterunderstanding of the motivation underlying the use of the quantitativemodels. In the empirical applications, the link is made with themodels of the market microstructure literature that have proposed anexplicit treatment of time in the trading process. Other empiricalapplications deal with the modelling of intraday volatility andintraday Value-at-Risk. Although the models are applied to data forstock traded on the NYSE, they are not specific to this exchange andcould be used to analyze other existing trading mechanisms.Accordingly, this book should be of interest to academics and graduatestudents involved in empirical finance and applied econometrics, regulators working for exchanges, and practitioners in banks orbrokerage firms. |

Educational returns: What are the educational needs of southern rural-living adults. $49.99 The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of southern rural-living adults relative to their perceived educational need in an effort to (a) collect information relative to the educational needs and interests of adult learners living in Southern rural counties, (b) derive data for prioritizing these needs to assist in planning and offering academic programs that are applicable to the available jobs in their areas, and (c) indicate a need to provide special support for addressing the unique problems of education within rural areas. The instrument was a questionnaire designed to access rural adults perceived educational needs using demographic data, preference for learning, and needs assessment. The study used descriptive statistics to describe, summarize and interpret the questionnaire responses. Rural-living adults in Mississippi were the targeted population. The study was based on eight research questions. A total of 159 people participated in this study. The participants were patrons from various employment assistance centers in Mississippi. Their ages ranged from 25-64. The selection was made through a stratified random sampling. According to the results from the data, many Southern rural-living adults are typically employed in full-time, semiskilled occupations with a yearly income ranging from {dollar}1,000-{dollar}11,000 or more. Their primary concern was about employment opportunities. The most perceived educational need of many Southern rural-living adults was basic education (proficient reading, writing, math, and speaking skills). Based upon the results of the survey, courses need to be offered that are applicable to the local job market or job oriented. Based upon the outcome of the study, it is recommended that Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs are held throughout the year with an individualized educational plan that includes goals up to the Bachelor’s level. |

Excess Cash Flow: A Signal for Institutional and Corporate Governance $113.53 Economic studies which examine the financing patterns of firms, particularly in emerging markets, seldom consider the market environment in which they operate. The most recent Asian financial crisis and its exposure of institutional failures in the context of financial sector liberalization show that these market conditions are vital. The positive relationship between a firm’s excess cash flow and investment are well known, but the environment which determines retention of cash as opposed to paying dividends remains unresolved. The results of this survey suggest a framework by which future research in data collection, theoretical analysis, and empirical testing may be undertaken. |

Faith-Based Marketing: The Guide to Reaching 140 Million Christian Consumers $11 It’s the largest, most faithful, highest spending market segment in the United States, yet chances are you have never considered it. America’s 140 million weekly church-goers spend $5.1 trillion annually and support the businesses that understand and respect them with near-religious devotion. But to reach them effectively, you’re going to need some help.Faith-Based Marketing provides everything you need to understand the Christian consumer power niche and effectively reach it. It explains who makes up that community, what they want, and what it takes to appeal to them. Then, based on survey research from believers across the country and interviews with experts, it provides practical guidance for creating faith-based marketing plans that work.In many ways, Christians are no different from other consumers—they are discerning shoppers who put price, value, customer service, and convenience ahead of loyalty to businesses that just happen to be owned by Christians. But they are also a somewhat forgotten market that promises big returns for those businesses that develop real relationships with them. Christians may be ordinary consumers who need the same prod-ucts as everyone else, but they respond extraordinarily well to marketing approaches customized to their needs.Faith-Based Marketing presents a bounty of other important insights as well—common mistakes marketers make in dealing with the Christian market; how to serve rather than sell to the market; and what works and doesn’t work when dealing with pastors and other church leaders. You’ll also find proven strategies for effective radio, print, online, word-of-mouth, and direct marketing, as well as resources—in the book and online—that tell you who’s who in the Christian community and how to reach them.Though increasing your sales is the ultimate goal, this book isn’t just about selling more of your stuff to Christians.

Fundamental Success Factors For Online Shopthe Consumer Perspectives- Market Research From $64 German E-commerce is well-off; an average growth in revenue of 17% in the first half of 2005 implies much better market conditions than the traditional retail business has experienced. Nevertheless numerous online shops are struggling with increasing competition and shop shutdowns appear as frequent as openings. Consequently it is the objective of most online shops to motivate consumers to purchase. Due to the fact that many online shops fail to accomplish this objective, this study intends to investigate which characteristics online shops have to provide in order be chosen by consumers. To investigate this issue the author has conducted a survey with two research questions:- What characteristics of online shops are potential choice criteria from the consumer’s perspective?- Which choice criteria are the most fundamental success factors?The author first provides a detailed overview about the internet economy,its particpants and its different business models. After that the different parts of the survey are explained, the results are analyzed and a conclusion is drawn on the basis of the analysis in order to answer the research questions. This book is adressed to operators of online shops, web-designers,programmers, consultants, decision makers of E-commerce businesses and anybody who wants to generate sales with a website. |

It presents detailed information on conceptualizing, planning, and implementing research projects involving a wide variety of available methodologies. Providing a reference of systematic research methods, this second edition explains how these techniques aid in understanding traditional issues, and reveals how they might be applied to answer emerging theoretical and practical questions. Following a linear, logical organization, this handbook meets systematic goals and objectives through eight groups of chapters. The first group explains the logic of inquiry and the practical problems of locating existing research. The second group deals with research design and the third examines pitfalls in measurement and data collection. The authors give practical, considered advice in the fourth section to anticipate and solve data management problems. They include numerous illustrations to supplement two separate sections devoted to basic and advanced quantitative analysis. The seventh section covers unique analytical techniques used to gain insight specific to the non-market sector’s knotty problems. The final section addresses the impact of research and describes how to overcome illusive, tricky, and sizeable barriers to influence other researchers, decision makers, foundations, and grant making institutions. With a comprehensive survey of research methods and an examination of their practical and theoretical application in the past, present, and future, Handbook of Research Methods in Public Administration, Second Edition gives you the tools to make informed decisions. |

Headhunters: MatchMaking in the Labor Market $6.95 Headhunters-third-party agents paid a fee by companies for locating job candidates-perform a unique sales role. The product they sell is people, matching candidates with jobs and companies with candidates. Headhunters affect the professional lives of thousands of employees every day, and their work has a profound, though hidden, effect on the employment picture in the United States. William Finlay and James E. Coverdill draw on interviews with and observations of headhunters and on analysis of headhunting training seminars, lectures, industry newsletters, and a mail survey of headhunting firms. The result is a frank and sometimes unsettling portrait of the aims, attitudes, and tactics of practitioners.The payment of fees has shifted from candidates to employers, and recruiters now find people to fit jobs rather than the other way around. Finlay and Coverdill address what they feel is a serious lack of research about the work headhunters do and how they do it. Their book is built around three major questions: What advantages do employers derive from using third-party agents to handle candidate search and recruitment? How are headhunters able to accomplish the double sale (“selling” candidates to employers and employers to candidates)? What criteria do headhunters use for selecting candidates? In the process, Finlay and Coverdill link their findings to larger issues of institutional and historical context, revealing the economic and political reasons clients use headhunters, demonstrating how headhunters manipulate clients and candidates, and assessing the impact of headhunters’ actions on hiring decisions. |

Immigrants in Tudor and Early Stuart England $64.72 It is now over 100 years since Cunningham wrote Alien Immigrants to England, which focused heavily upon the impact of immigration in later 16th and early 17th century England. It has yet to be supplanted by a comprehensive, up-to-date survey. Although much research has been completed on the subject, particularly during the past three decades, relatively little of this has appeared in mainstream history journals, while more general surveys have tended to concentrate upon the second wave of migration that followed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. This book is a major reassessment of the size, nature, status, impact (economic, social, cultural), and international connections of Dutch and French immigrants in Tudor and early-Stuart England, written by a team of internationally recognized scholars. The volume comprises three sections. Part One examines aspects of immigrant communities in England, including their origins, legal status, the situation within the labor market and |

Internationalization Of The Campus $65.99 Korean higher education institutions are facing serious challenges from inside and outside Korea. Some of them have difficulties filling government- set freshman quotas every year, and the opening of the Korean education market is due soon. It is now imperative to internationalize their campuses for future survival. The main question for this research was to find out how the leading Korean private universities internationalize their campuses. Yonsei University and Korea University were selected as sample universities for this research because of their excellent reputation for internationalization. A survey with open-ended questions was distributed and interviews were conducted to find out their current status of internationalization. Internationalization at these institutions was found to be overly program-focused and to lack proper organizational strategies such as organizational structures, strategic plans, and leadership. The results of this research can be utilized by other Korean institutions for their future campus internationalization. |
