Mining the Talk
Unlocking the Business Value in
Unstructured Information
by Scott Spangler and Jeffrey Kreulen
ISBN: 0-13-233953-6
Two leading-edge IBM researchers introduce
a revolutionary new approach to unlocking the
business value hidden in virtually any form
of unstructured data—from word processing
documents to websites, e-mails to instant
messages.
The authors review the business drivers that
have made unstructured data so important–
and explain why conventional methods for
working with it are inadequate. Then they walk
step-by-step through exploring your
unstructured data, understanding it, and
analyzing it effectively.
Do It Wrong Quickly
How the Web Changes the
Old Marketing Rules
by Mike Moran
ISBN: 0-13-225596-0
For decades, marketers have been taught to
carefully plan ahead because “you must get it
right — it’s too expensive to change.” But, in the
age of the Web, you can know in hours whether
your strategy’s working. Today, winners don’t get it
right the fi rst time: They start fast, change fast, and
relentlessly optimize their way to success. They do
it wrong quickly…then fi x it, just as quickly!
In this book, Internet marketing pioneer Mike
Moran shows you how to do that — step-by-step
and in detail. Drawing on his experience building
ibm.com into one of the world’s most successful
sites, Moran shows how to quickly transition
from “plan then execute” to a non-stop cycle
of refi nement.
You’ll master specifi c techniques for making the
Web’s “two-way marketing conversation” work
successfully, productively, and profi tably. Next, Mo-
ran shows how to choose the right new marketing
tools, craft them into an integrated strategy, and
execute it…achieving unprecedented effi ciency,
accountability, speed, and results.

The New Language
of Marketing 2.0
How to Use ANGELS to Energize
Your Market
by Sandy Carter
ISBN: 0-13-714249-8
From developing the right strategies to energizing
your channels of communication, this book will
serve as a useful guide to the new technologies
that are driving change in marketing and unlocks
the secrets to new methods of communicating:
Blogs, wikis, video, viral marketing, e-mail and
web communications. Through the reach of the
Internet, the marketer is not—and ought not to
be—at the center of successful marketing. The
customer is the center now. The Internet allows
customers to opt-in or select the message that
most clearly resonates with them. They choose to
read an interesting blog, watch entertaining viral
video, cruise Virtual Worlds, and speak through
Avatars. What does this mean to us? It means
that the previously separate worlds of marketing
and communications are merging: Marketing 2.0
is about marketing through communication.
Reaching The Goal
How Managers Improve a Services
Business Using Goldratt’s Theory
of Constraints
by John Arthur Ricketts
ISBN: 0-13-233312-0
Managing services is extremely challenging, and
traditional “industrial” management techniques
are no longer adequate. In Reaching The Goal,
John Arthur Ricketts presents a breakthrough
management approach that embraces what
makes services different: their diversity, complex-
ity, and unique distribution methods.
Ricketts draws on Eli Goldratt’s Theory of
Constraints (TOC), one of this generation’s
most successful management methodologies...
thoroughly adapting it to the needs of today’s
professional, scientifi c, and technical services
businesses. He reveals how to identify
the surprising constraints that limit your
organization’s performance, execute more
effectively within those constraints, and then
loosen or even eliminate them.
