“A damning investigation of dark money by a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee” (Kirkus Reviews) with a new preface on recent disclosures about efforts to influence the Court “There's no senator I can think of who's done more sleuthing to figure out the money trail in American politics, particularly as it affects the courts.”—Jane Mayer, author of the national bestseller Dark Money As the story of Supreme Court malfeasance and ethics violations repeatedly makes front-page news, the paperback version of The Scheme comes at a time of crisis for the American judiciary.Following his book Captured on corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, whom Senator Elizabeth Warren calls a “a powerful voice in defending our American democracy against the relentless, pervasive—and often hidden—power of corporate special interests,” here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the United States Supreme Court. Whitehouse chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups, helped by the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, employing the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, and with the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance their anti-government agenda.Now available in an affordable paperback edition with a new preface addressing the Reverend Schenck disclosures about politicking the justices and Justice Thomas's recently disclosed conflicts of interest, The Scheme offers what Kirkus Reviews calls “a maddening indictment of a corrupt and corrupted judiciary.”

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich BWL - Offline-Marketing und Online-Marketing, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal; Standort Stendal (Fachbereich Wirtschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Einschätzung der derzeitigen Relevanz von SMM für die Markenführung. Damit verbunden wird die Autorin auch auf die derzeitige Bedeutung von Markenführung für das Marketing von Unternehmen eingehen. Um die Entwicklung des Marketings darzustellen und eine Einschätzung der derzeitigen Bedeutung zu ermöglichen, beantwortet die Autorin folgende Fragen: Durch welche externen Einflüssen hat sich das Marketing bis heute verändert? Wie wichtig sind Marken für das Marketing von heute? In welche Richtung entwickelt sich die Bedeutung sozialer Netzwerke für Unternehmen? Können Unternehmen hinsichtlich ihrer Markenführung durch den Einsatz von SM profitieren oder hat bereits ein Trendwandel stattgefunden? Die Entstehung des Internets stellte Unternehmen nicht nur in Zeiten der Einführung vor neue Herausforderungen. Auch die beständige Weiterentwicklung und Expansion marketingrelevanter Möglichkeiten macht es für Unternehmen weiterhin notwendig, den Erfolg altbewährter und innovativer Strategien abzuwägen. SocialMedia-Portale erlangen für Internetnutzer einen immer höheren Stellenwert und haben sich so im Alltag konsumrelevanter Zielgruppen durchgesetzt. Auch in der Geschäftswelt wird die Nutzung von Sozialen Medien akzeptiert. Durch die Etablierung neuartiger Kommunikationsinstrumente verändert sich die jeweilige Bedeutungsverteilung der Marketingstrategien jedoch immer wieder. Eine Beurteilung des Social-Media-Marketings (SMM) kann letztlich immer nur in einer zeitpunktbezogenen Bestandsaufnahme festgehalten werden. Ursächlich hierfür ist in erster Linie das sich fortwährend ändernde Verhalten der Konsumenten.

“This book completely changed the way I think about creative innovation.... A must read” (Cal Newport, bestselling author of Deep Work). Business leaders say they want creativity and need real innovation in order to thrive. But according to startling research from management professor Jennifer Mueller, these same leaders chronically reject creative solutions, even as they profess commitment to innovation. Mueller's research reveals that it's not just CEOs but educators, parents, and other social trendsetters who struggle to accept new and creative ideas. Mueller parses the tough questions these findings raise. Do we all have an inherent prejudice against creative ideas? Can we learn to outsmart this bias? Creative Change combines analysis of the latest research with practical guidance on how to shift your mindset, and offers a wealth of counterintuitive recommendations to help you embrace the creative ideas you want. “If we all crave creativity so much, why do we reject new ideas so often? Jen Mueller's smart new book unravels this puzzle.” —Daniel H. Pink, New York Times–bestselling author of When and Drive “Mueller, an accomplished scholar in the management field, has developed a well-formulated argument for creativity. Her ideas and research need to be available to academics, business practitioners, and, really, everyone.” —Library Journal
