A revised and expanded edition of the book described by Books Monthly as `an absolute gem. A bible, in fact¿. If the future is going to be creative, then Hegarty on Advertising points you in the right direction. Written by one of the world¿s legendary advertising men, this best-selling book contains five decades¿ worth of wisdom from the man behind hugely influential campaigns for brands such as Levi¿s, Audi, Boddingtons and Lynx. In this new and improved edition John Hegarty reveals what lies behind a great idea and effective advertising, the ingredients of a successful brand, the right way and the wrong way to run and launch an advertising agency, why you should always question the brief, the art of pitching to a potential client, the central role of storytelling in advertising, the impact of new technology in a rapidly evolving industry, and the importance of dealing with succession. And if that isn¿t enough, read the final chapters on winemaking and The Garage Soho, a startup incubator that he has co-founded, to find out what happens when an advertising man becomes the client and has ideas sold to him. Both a credo for creativity and a brilliantly entertaining memoir, Hegarty on Advertising provides unparalleled industry insight through stories and anecdotes about the agencies in which Hegarty has played a vital role and the many characters with whom he has worked along the way. Packed with straight-down-the-line, generous, engaging and witty advice, it will be of immense appeal across the whole creative spectrum, from those who want to work in advertising to chief executives who understand the power and value of ideas that sell.

¿This book provides an updated overview of the recent progress in the theoretical study of third-degree price discrimination. It is a marketing tactic and is said to be present if the unit price is different across different groups of buyers. Its welfare evaluation is often difficult because it entails two countervailing effects: on one hand, it exploits surplus from consumers who have high willingness-to-pay, but on the other hand, it generates gains from trade from consumers who otherwise would not purchase the good. Recognizing this difficulty, we provide new insights on evaluation of third-degree price discrimination in consideration of network effects and vertical product differentiation. Our analysis is particularly useful for the industries related to information and communication technologies (ICT) because these two elements characterize them. Furthermore, we also study the welfare effects of third-degree price discrimination under imperfect competition other than monopoly.At first, it seems that it may complicate the analysis under monopoly. However, we argue that the main thrusts of analysis under monopoly carry over to the case of oligopoly. We also take into account behavioral aspects and their implications for studying third-degree price discrimination. Overall, this book is designed to provide implications for contemporary management and policy issues by advancing theoretical issues in industrial organization.

For every company that is active internationally, a systematically operated cross-national marketing management is indispensable in order to secure its own existence in the long term. The rapid changes on many markets and in many countries also mean that professional information gathering and processing of market-relevant data must take place within the framework of international market research. Based on this data, market-oriented decisions have to be made within international marketing management in order to achieve operational goals. This book deals not only with the "classic" topics of international marketing, such as international market research and the international use of individual marketing instruments, but also with the various management sub-functions of planning, controlling, organization and human resources management in internationally active companies, each with a specific reference to marketing in the sense of market-oriented corporate management. The theoretically presented correlations are enriched by current data on the relevant framework conditions on international markets, empirical findings on the individual fields of action of international marketing management as well as numerous current examples from entrepreneurial practice. With this comprehensive presentation of international marketing management, the authors address lecturers and students as well as practitioners who deal with marketing issues in an international context.
