Christine Brentani, "Portfolio Management in Practice (Essential Capital Markets)"

As individuals are becoming more and more responsible for ensuring their own financial future, portfolio or fund management has taken on an increasingly important role in banks' ranges of offerings to their clients. In addition, as interest rates have come down and the stock market has gone up and come down again, clients have a choice of leaving their saving in deposit accounts, or putting those savings in unit trusts or investment portfolios which invest in equities and/or bonds. Individuals are becoming aware that they might need to top up government pension allocations. Likewise, corporations who run employee pension schemes have to ensure that they are able to cover their current and future liabilities. Investing in unit trusts or mutual funds is one way for individuals and corporations alike to potentially enhance the returns on their savings.

Introduction to Portfolio Management covers the:
*Theoretical underpinnings of portfolio management
*Basics of portfolio construction
*Constraints to be considered when building a client portfolio
*Types of analysis used for asset allocation and stock selection
*Main types of funds available to investors

*Inspired from the basic entry level training courses that have been developed by major international banks worldwide.
*Will enable MSc Finance students, MBA students and those already in the finance profession to gain an understanding of the basic information and principles underlying the topic under discussion
*Questions with answers, study topics, practical "real world" examples and text with an extensive bibliography and references ensure learning outcomes can be immediately applied

Peter Cheverton, "If You're So Brilliant ...How Come You Can't Identify Your Key Customers?: The Essential Guide to Key Account Selection "

Key account management (KAM) is not a sales initiative, it is a business-wide process that must be managed and supported from the top. Here we have a book or all those involved in the management of key accounts, but uncertain about how these important customers are identified, selected and managed. In a clean, direct style, Cheverton cuts to the quick and shows how to achieve the core objectives of KAM: retain existing customers in a competitive environment; grow through acquiring new long term contracts; achieve global `preferred supplier` status; manage customers serviced by several departments in a consistent way; create a customer intimate business; achieve operational excellence. `Managing the future` Cheverton says is the purpose of KAM: achieving a realistic balance between objectives, the market opportunity and the resources available. Global cases, tools, techniques and exercises are all features of this inspired little book.

Peter Cheverton, "If You're So Brilliant...How Come your Brand isn't Working Hard Enough?: The Essential Guide to Brand Management"

This book is not for advertising and design professionals. It is for all those involved with building and defining their own brand, for those who know that brand management is crucial, but don’t know how to go about it. Good brand management is the route to getting the brand to work harder and to make its proper mark. Any brand, new or old, must be managed, nurtured, exploited and, when necessary, changed. Good brand and business managers must understand what a brand is, what it can do for them and how it supports the strategic goals of the business. Good brand managers must also direct and co-ordinate the wide and daunting variety of tasks and experts involved in making brand strategy happen. HOW COME YOUR BRAND ISN`T WORKING? tackles this challenge head on. Peppered with fascinating real-life examples (good and bad), and a brand health checklist, any manager will benefit from Cheverton’s pragmatic advice on positing, targeting and implementation.
