The Dark Side of CRM

Customers, Relationships and Management

Customers are treated badly. Not all customers. Not always. But many are and often. Some customers are bad. They treat firms badly. Firms have to react. Employees and customers endure the consequences. Such bad behaviours, by firms and customers, have consequences for perceptions of trust and fairness, for endorsements and referrals, for repeat purchasing and loyalty, and ultimately for a firm’s profitability and RoI. The management of customer relationships is core to the success and even survival of the firm. As The Dark Side of CRM explores, this is an area fraught with difficulties, duplicitous practice and undesirable behaviours. These need acknowledging, mitigating and controlling. This book is the first of its kind to define these dark sides, exploring also how firms and policy-makers might address such behaviours and manage them successfully. With contributions from many of the leading exponents globally of CRM and understanding customers, The Dark Side of CRM is essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners interested in managing customers, relationship marketing and CRM, as well as social media and marketing strategy.

Filsafat sejarah

Profetik, Spekulatif, dan Kritis

Kehadiran buku ini diharapkan bisa mengisi kekosongan pembahasan sekitar materi-materi filsafat sejarah yang dianggap masih terasa langka. Meskipun sudah banyak orang membicarakan materi-materi dunia sejarah, namun yang membicarakan dari sudut pandang dan konstruksi filsafat dalam tiga substansi; profetik, spekulatif, dan kritis belum ada yang menyinergikannya. Umumnya buku-buku filsafat sejarah yang ditulis oleh penulis di Indonesia berkutat pada spekulatif dan kritis dengan uraian yang cukup panjang. Ada juga beberapa buku yang terkait dengan materi filsafat sejarah profetik, dengan mengambil bahan-bahan kajian dari Al-Qur’an dan al-Hadis, namun disajikan dengan cara terpisah-pisah sehingga menyulitkan para mahasiswa dalam memahaminya. Sering kali pula uraian-uraian filsafat sejarah yang disajikan sangat panjang, tidak mengutamakan substantifnya, bahkan terkesan bertele-tele sehingga seringkali membuat mahasiswa banyak mengeluh, karena sulitnya memahami pemikiran filsuf sejarah tersebut. Padahal substansi isinya yang mengandung sejumlah teori-teori penting harus dikembangkan dalam berbagai penalaran diskusi dan digunakan ke dalam pembacaan sejarah secara kritis. Belum lagi persoalan bagaimana penerapan teori filsafat sejarah untuk menganalisis peristiwa sejarah, selalu saja menjadi persoalan tersendiri. Semua problem tersebut pada akhirnya kembali menjadi tanggung jawab para pengajar atau dosen pengampu bidang filsafat sejarah; bagimana agar para mahasiswa mampu memahami dan dapat melakukan analisis sebuah peristiwa sejarah, dengan “kacamata” filsafat sejarah. Terutama untuk mahasiswa yang sedang melakukan penelitian (riset) dan tugas akhir berupa skripsi, tesis maupun disertasi Buku persembahan penerbit PrenadaMediagroup

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Chapter I - Introduction, Chapter II - Solid Waste Management: An Overview, Chapter III - Conceptual and Theoretical Frameworks, Chapter IV - Environmental Analysis With Special Reference to Waste Management, Chapter V - Residential Waste Management in Town Panchayat: Micro Level Analysis, Chapter VI - Findings, Suggestions and Conclusion. Solid Waste Management is a worldwide phenomenon. Improper management of solid waste causes hazards to inhabitants and residents and affects the wealth and health of “Mother Earth”. Global evidences show that, the death rate from improper management of solid waste results in 9 per 1000 of population. Financial constraints prevent the local governments, starting from metro-cities to village panchayat, from creating a proper waste collection and disposal mechanism. Therefore, waste generated by the local governments is inadequately and poorly managed in many countries of the world. Most cities, towns, small towns and villages, do not collect the totality of waste generated and of the waste collected, only a fraction receives proper disposal. Thus, waste management is becoming a major health and environmental concern in urban, semi-urban and even rural areas of many developing countries. Waste management is given very low priorities in the developing countries whose budgetary provision is too small to manage the solid waste. Changing life styles and moving towards cosumeristic society pose waste management challenges, as waste management systems in developing countries are incapable of frequent adjustment to match these life style changes. Waste (solid/liquid/gaseous) is a direct consequence of all human activities. Management of solid waste is a discipline associated with the principles of public health, economics, engineering, and conservation. Scientific management of waste involves seven important steps viz., segregation and storage of waste at source, primary collection, street sweeping, secondary storage, transportation, treatment and recycling and finally disposal of waste in a saleable manner. Rapid urbanization coupled with modernization has led to several fold increases in the generation of wastes, like household waste, commercial waste, industrial waste, construction waste, agriculture waste, sewage waste, wastes from mining and quarrying, bio-medical waste, radioactive waste and e-waste. Since, solid waste is a global phenomenon, the economies of the globe, particularly developing economies, are expressing anxiety on the adverse effects of increasing quantum of solid waste and taking initiatives to adopt Integrated Solid Waste Management System with a view to reducing the harmful characteristics of solid waste produced by different economic sectors. Generation of household waste is an unavoidable result of many activities of modern civilization. With these backgrounds, an attempt has been made by the author to study the solid waste management by the residents of Chinnalapatti Town Panchayat in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu with the following objectives such as: to study the socio-economic conditions of the residents of Chinnalapatti Town Panchayat; to identify the factors that determine the generation of wastes by the residents of Chinnalapatti Town Panchayat; to estimate the quantity and types of wastes generated by the residents of Chinnalapatti Town Panchayat; and to suggest sustainable strategies and policies for effective management of wastes in Chinnalapatti Town Panchayat. The proposed study is basically empirical in nature and based on primary data, collected through household’s survey, interview and discussion with the residents in the study area. According to 2011 Census, Chinnalapatti Town Panchayat has 8024 residents who are living in 18 wards with four zones viz., East, West, South and North. Further, author has applied proportionate random sampling technique and finally chosen 501 samples of residents for the purpose of present research investigation.

The Geography of Morals

Varieties of Moral Possibility

The Geography of Morals is a work of extraordinary ambition: an indictment of the parochialism of Western philosophy, a comprehensive dialogue between anthropology, empirical moral psychology, behavioral economics, and cross-cultural philosophy, and a deep exploration of the opportunities for self, social, and political improvement provided by world philosophy. We live in multicultural, cosmopolitan worlds. These worlds are distinctive moral ecologies in which people enact and embody different lived philosophies and conceive of mind, morals, and the meaning of life differently from the typical WEIRD -- Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic -- person. This is not a predicament; it is an opportunity. Many think that cross cultural understanding is useful for developing a modus vivendi where people from different worlds are not at each other's throats and tolerate each other. Flanagan presses the much more exciting possibility that cross-cultural philosophy provides opportunities for exploring the varieties of moral possibility, learning from other traditions, and for self, social, and political improvement. There are ways of worldmaking in other living traditions -- Confucian, Daoist, Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Muslim, Amerindian, and African -- that citizens in Western countries can benefit from. Cross-cultural learning is protection against what Alasdair MacIntyre refers to as being "imprisoned by one's upbringing." Flanagan takes up perennial topics of whether there is anything to the idea of a common human nature, psychobiological sources of human morality, the nature of the self, the role of moral excellence in a good human life, and whether and how empirical inquiry into morality can contribute to normative ethics. The Geography of Morals exemplifies how one can respectfully conceive of multiculturalism and global interaction as providing not only opportunities for business and commerce, but also opportunities for socio-moral and political improvement on all sides. This is a book that aims to change how normative ethics and moral psychology are done.

Finally, there are saints and sages, all manner of indigenous peoples, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sufis, and Christians, who claim to have extirpated anger, completely washed the disposition to be angry from their souls.
