The 2009-2014 Outlook for In-Car Entertainment Aftermarket in Japan





This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for in-car entertainment aftermarket across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for in-car entertainment aftermarket. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the cities in Japan). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for in-car entertainment aftermarket in Japan. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of Japan. For each prefecture, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

Introduction to Social Welfare and Social Work: The U.S. in Global Perspective





Introduction to Social Welfare and Social Work: The U. S. in Global Perspective

Designed for introductory, policy, and international courses. Like its predecessor, /Social Welfare: A World View, /this book is dedicated to the world’s marginalized people and to their advocates. This exhaustively documented text studies the United States social welfare system in comparison to international approaches. Van Wormer first describes social work’s historical beginnings and then establishes the groundwork for contemporary practice. The text meets CSWE’s recent mandate for students to be prepared to "recognize the global context of social work practice" and that courses "integrate social & economic justice content grounded in an understanding of human and civil rights, and the global interconnections of oppression." This text does all these things. Knowledge of these dynamics hopefully will prompt students to accept their role as citizens of their own countries and also of the world.

Answer by Crim Liar
You probably want to start by subscribing to one of the magazines aimed at health and fitness for men. SUbscribing means you get a monthly push, mental jolt call it whatever you want. The most popular in terms of sales is Men's Health, it's quite light hearted, almost a lads mag with muscles and dietary advice, you get plenty of small tips and it's easy to read. Second place goes to Men's Fitness, it's not so jaunty as MH but it does go into more detail, but it is a harder read.
