***WHAT WE'RE READING***
"Permission Marketing"
by Seth Godin
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684856360/entertainments08
Consumers are a fickle bunch. You work hard for them, develop
great products and what happens? They ignore you. You tell them
how smart your service is until you're blue in the face but they
still don't want to know. "Permission Marketing" promises to
get their undivided attention. Commerce for consenting adults.

"Unleashing The Killer App"
by Larry Downes, Chunka Mui and Nicholas Negroponte
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/087584801X/entertainments08
What do the Welsh longbow, the compass and the Apple Macintosh
have in common? They are all "killer apps"--technological
breakthroughs that wiped away everything that came before them.
Whatever your company does, there's probably a killer app
lurking somewhere. "Unleashing the Killer App" shows how to
find it and tame it.

"The Grocers"
by Andrew Seth and Geoffrey Randall
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0749421916/entertainments08
Serving up a man-size slab of retail therapy, Seth and Randall's
"The Grocers" is a wide-aisled sweep through the rise and rise
of the supermarket super-business. Opening at the local shop,
this spree takes us all the way through to GMs and the recent
Wal-Mart incursion. Checkout the latest off-the-trolley
solution.


***ARTICLE ON "PORTFOLIO 2001" BY JOHN KATZ***
Investors should be well-informed, have prospects well
researched and be primed to pounce if compelling buying
opportunities emerge. "Portfolio 2001" has the millennium
mapped. In an exclusive essay for Amazon.co.uk, John Katz
makes a case for administering with portfolio.

***EXCERPT FROM "IN SAM WE TRUST": THE STORY BEHIND WAL-MART***
Since Wal-Mart began to spread out of the US, it has devoured
its way to the top spot in Canada and Mexico and raced to fourth
position in Germany. With the recent Asda takeover, Wal-Mart
has now made its presence felt here and consumers and rival
retailers are waiting expectantly for the effects. "In Sam We
Trust"
looks at the business behind the biggest retail chain.

***SUN MICROSYSTEMS: THE INSIDE STORY OF SCOTT MCNEALY***
When Sun Microsystems condensed its vision into a company
slogan in 1985, most of the world was mystified. "The network
is the computer"? What's that all about? Some years later, the
power of computer networks truly revealed the depth of that
prescience. "High Noon" gives the inside story--beginnings,
javaman and struggles with Microsoft included---of Scott McNealy
and his Sun rising.
