Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Words are a neglected resource in business life. They are available to us all; we can decide to use them well or badly. But most of the time we take words for granted and regard them purely as functional - "They're a bit like electricity - you need them to run a company but there's not much you can do to use them differently from anybody else." But the truth is that words can be used to give your business competetive advantage. So why ignore them? In this insightful work, leading corporate identity expert John Simmons demonstrates the power of words to move people - from employees to customers, to suppliers and the media. On a practical, individual level, the book shows managers how to write inspiring business proposals, memos and letters that will make a difference. Moreover, Simmons examines ideas and examples of the use of words and language within the overall management of a company's identity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Manchester United is one of the world's most profitable sporting organizations. The original stock market flotation was intended to raise funds for a new stand. Instead the CEO took the opportunity to turn the club into the meanest marketing operation in European sport, by exploiting to the full the brand name of Manchester United. Recently, it was the subject of a #625 million mega bid by Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB. Today, the stockmarket values Manchester United PLC at one billion, the first time a football club has reached such heights. This book examines the incredible success of the club. Through exclusive interviews with the leading characters, the author reveals how United so transformed itself that it is now virtually in a league of its own, on and off the pitch. The book is as much about the recent transformation of Manchester United into a money-making machine as it is about football in general and the money which has poured into the game in the past five years.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. All the tools and practical advice you need to turn your personal finances into personal wealth are provided in this work.

With their straightforward and easy to understand approach, the authors explain the eighth wonder of the world, the power of compounding, showing how with relatively small regular savings you can produce a very significant capital sum. Did you know, for example, that with growth at the same rate as the UK stock market over the last 20 years, #5000 a year would produce #2 million in 25 years? But that is only half the story. By using an ISA mortgage, for instance, to finance the purchase of your house or flat you can harness two of the world's best-performing financial assets, property and shares. This book shows you how to set them to work for you at the same time. And believe it or not, the capital profits you make on both will be tax free.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The World Wide Web's explosion onto the global scene is one of the most dramatic arrivals of technology in history.
