Brasksamp (emeritus, education, Loyola U., Chicago), along with colleagues at Northwestern and Washington State, discuss their study of how ten diverse church-related colleges and universities (of some 900) prepare their students for life beyond the campus. Through a "4C framework" based on personal investment theory--culture, curriculum, co-curriculum (connecting in-class and out-of-class experiences), and community, they examine the career training, intellectual, moral, and spiritual contexts in which this mission is pursued. Questions are posed about how campuses can support holistic student development.

Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

The aim is to provide unique value in chosen markets, sustainable over time, which brings the customers back for more. Relationship Marketing emphasizes quality, customer service and marketing and how these can be managed towards closing the `quality gap' between what customers expect and what they get. The authors explore the process of developing and implementing relationship strategies and in so doing, signal a radical shift in marketing practice involving first the co-ordination of external (customer) markets and second, collaboration within internal (staff) markets in order to get the marketing mix right. The book is intended for all marketing managers coming to terms with doing business in turbulent markets and facing up to strategic quality and customer services issues. Well-presented comprehensive text Full of practical ideas, techniques and examples Emphasis is as much on keeping customers as it is on getting them in the first place

`This book, written by a group of outstanding UK researchers, pinpoints the essence and scope of relationship marketing and vividly demonstrates its applicability in different industries. Relationship marketing is the marketing of the next millennium. Don’t argue. Just read the book!' - Evert Gummesson, Stockholm University By examining the relationship between theory and practice, Relationship Marketing appears at an important stage in the development of relationship marketing. The opening chapter examines relationship marketing (RM) theory, reviews a number of RM definitions and reports on the economic arguments in favour of RM. It describes the nature and scope of marketing relationships, picking out characteristics such as concern for the welfare of customers, trust and commitment between partners, and the importance of customer service. Finally, it identifies a number of requirements for successful RM. The next 12 chapters describe, analyze and critique RM practice in a number of organizational settings (supply-chain relationships, principal-agent relationships, business-to-business relationships, intra-organizational relationships) and industries (hospitality, air travel, retail banking, corporate banking, credit cards, financial advisory services, advertising agencies, not-for-profit organizations). The final chapter reflects on the relationships between theory and practice.
