The goal of business strategy is not just to be better, but different. Learn how to build a differentiating value proposition by clearly and carefully defining your brand boundaries: Calling, Competencies, Customers, and Culture. Positioning for Professionals shows how a well-defined value proposition can help professional service firms create their own success instead of copying the success of others, including such concepts as: How and why professional service brands bec 410 0$aWiley advisor. 606 $aBranding (Marketing) 606 $aSuccess in business 615 0$aBranding (Marketing) 615 0$aSuccess in business. 676 $a658.8/27 700 $aWilliams$b Tim$f1954-$0309408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828030103321 996 $aPositioning for professionals$94119553 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05618nam 2200649 a 450 001 9911019163703321 005 20241120173213.0 010 $a9786611284374 010 $a9781281284372 010 $a1281284378 010 $a9780470175668 010 $a0470175664 010 $a9780470175644 010 $a0470175648 024 7 $a10.1002/9780470175668 035 $a(CKB)1000000000404604 035 $a(EBL)335702 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000167105 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11164898 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000167105 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10169273 035 $a(PQKB)10913016 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC335702 035 $a(CaBNVSL)mat05201533 035 $a(IDAMS)0b0000648104a9f6 035 $a(IEEE)5201533 035 $a(OCoLC)232612020 035 $a(PPN)271793317 035 $a(Perlego)2769024 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000404604 100 $a20070309d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aHandbook of applied algorithms $esolving scientific, engineering and practical problems /$fedited by Amiya Nayak, Ivan Stojmenovic 210 $aHoboken, N.J. $cWiley-Interscience$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (572 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780470044926 311 08$a0470044926 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPreface -- Abstracts -- Contributors -- 1.

In eighteen self-contained chapters, this timely book explores: * Localized algorithms that can be used in topology control for wireless ad-hoc or sensor networks * Bioinformatics algorithms for analyzing data * Clustering algorithms and identification of association rules in data mining * Applications of combinatorial algorithms and graph theory in chemistry and molecular biology * Optimizing the frequency planning of a GSM network using evolutionary algorithms * Algorithmic solutions and advances achieved through game theory Complete with exercises for readers to measure their comprehension of the material presented, Handbook of Applied Algorithms is a much-needed resource for researchers, practitioners, and students within computer science, life science, and engineering. Amiya Nayak, PhD, has over seventeen years of industrial experience and is Full Professor at the School of Information Technology and Engineering at the University of Ottawa, Canada. He is on the editorial board of several journals. Dr. Nayak's research interests are in the areas of fault tolerance, distributed systems/algorithms, and mobile ad-hoc networks. Ivan StojmenoviC?, PhD, is Professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada (www.site.uottawa.ca/~ivan), and Chair Professor of Applied Computing at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. Dr. Stojmenovic? received the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. His current research interests are mostly in the design and analysis of algorithms for wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks. 606 $aComputer algorithms 615 0$aComputer algorithms. 676 $a005.1 701 $aNayak$b Amiya$01608350 701 $aStojmenovic$b Ivan$0521411 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911019163703321 996 $aHandbook of applied algorithms$94040239 997 $aUNINA
