Stefan Engeseth Bücher

Lernen aus der Geschichte: die unfassbare Dummheit der Menschheit. Wie kann eine intelligente Spezies wie der Mensch immer wieder katastrophale Entscheidungen treffen? Warum führen wir Kriege, zerstören unseren Planeten und schaffen destruktive Dinge wie Computerviren? Diese Fragen beschäftigten Stefan Engeseth bereits in seiner Kindheit und führten zu Konflikten mit Lehrern. In diesem Buch untersucht er die Dummheit der Menschheit und wie wir sie zu unserem Vorteil nutzen können. Er beleuchtet, wie Recycling unserer Dummheit zur Rettung der Welt beitragen kann, und betont die Notwendigkeit kritischen Denkens. Es wird diskutiert, welche besseren Entscheidungen wir für die Zukunft treffen müssen und es gibt Interviews mit Expert:innen zu den selbstverursachten Problemen der Menschheit. Engeseth stellt grundlegende Fragen: Verdienen wir diesen Planeten? Wie bilden wir zukünftige Generationen aus? Warum sind wir besser im Schaffen von Problemen als im Lösen? Er kommt zu dem Schluss, dass wir uns keine dummen Entscheidungen mehr leisten können. Das Buch bietet positive Denkanstöße und Szenarien für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung der Menschheit, während es gleichzeitig die Herausforderung thematisiert, den Homo Stupidus wieder in einen Homo Sapiens zu verwandeln.

Companies now operate in an environment in which the consumer is more powerful than ever, and this manual for change demonstrates how managers and entrepreneurs can make this new-found consumer power work for them. Proposing to close the gap between what customers want and what companies promise, this argues that impersonal environments must change to foster interaction and that consumers must be allowed deeper insight into the process by which companies create goods and services for them. Why limit involvement to new product testing, the book asks, when the target demographic could be on the invite list for the next board meeting? Other tools, methods, and inspirations for listening to and understanding the customer are included, as well as examples of how other companies have managed to take advantage of the consumer revolution by using marketing innovations that once seemed radical. Forward-thinking executives and managers can benefit from this unique perspective on a key issue for companies who have not yet tapped the well of consumer power.

Move business forward and drag Top Management along with you! Al Ries' best selling book, The Fall of Advertising and the Rise of PR, shook the advertising industry to the bone. The advertising world was outraged. When Ries argued that advertising just wasn't working any more, he had struck a nerve. Advertising was simply not changing with the times. Half a decade later, things have come full circle. PR is now finding its credibility in the intensive care unit. Stefan Engeseth gives the PR business the same treatment. The Fall of PR & the Rise of Advertising, with a foreword by Al Ries, analyses the enormous changes in the media landscape in PR, advertising and everything in between. Stefan Engeseth's books, Detective Marketing and ONE, have firmly established him as one of today's most refreshing business thinkers. In his latest book, The Fall of PR & the Rise of Advertising, he shows how advertising has redefined itself and re-emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Written in his trade mark, funny, original and provocative style, the book adds whole new dimensions to the business world.
