In Chapter 1, Prof. Day develops a definition of marketing strategy, and outlines the benefits of taking a marketing strategic approach, centered on customer orientation and sustaining superior customer value. Day proposes a model of customer solutions (the CVP Octagon) which integrates many dimensions that can be used to better understand customer requirements and deliver a solution that mutually benefits the firm and its customer. Design thinking requires deep interaction with customers to creatively, and iteratively, solve customer problems; the first step is a deep understanding of customer problems gained through observation. Marketing...is the whole business seen from the -customer's point of view. [Extracted from the article]

It was a real privilege when approached by the I British Journal of Industrial Relations i to review Andrew Brady's critical new study of the shifting sands of trade union-Labour Party relations over the past 50 years or so. These were lessons well learnt by the Labour leaderships during periods of major economic and social change, and the corresponding inability of the Labour movement to see off the right-wing laissez faire Tory Governments until the 1997 General Election. At this point, I hope the new Labour Prime Minister, Chancellor and other senior members of the Cabinet read the Brady analysis and will along with the trade union leaders, whether affiliated to the Labour Party or not, carefully consider those historic lessons.

Computer-aided instruction (CAI) has existed for decades. Its third generation system using Internet and Web technologies to deliver university education (so called virtual universities) has been a hot research topic in recent years. However few such virtual universities have been as successful as expected. Why didn't eEducation systems turn out to be a silver bullet for virtual universities as expected? What are components and elements that have been missed in current eEducation systems? How can we learn from past experience and lessons so that a conceptual framework could be proposed to design a better next generation eEducation system that could help universities and corporations to gain competitive advantages in a global education market? This research paper tries to explore these important issues. Based upon a comprehensive literature review, a conceptual framework is proposed with the aim of guiding the design of a next generation eEducation system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
