Annotation Are jury verdicts in business trials influenced less by a corporation's negligence than by sympathy for the plaintiffs, prejudice against business, and a belief in the corporation's "deep pockets"? Many members of the public and corporate executives believe that this is so, and they feel that the jury's decision making presents serious problems for American business competitiveness and its justice system. This book -- the first to provide a systematic account of how juries make decisions in typical business cases -- shows that these assumptions are false or exaggerated.Drawing on interviews with civil jurors, experiments with mock jurors, and public opinion polling, Valerie P. Hans explores how jurors determine whether businesses should be held responsible for an injury. She finds that many civil jurors, rather than being overly sympathetic to plaintiffs who bring civil lawsuits, are actually hostile to them, that there are only occasional instances of anti-business prejudice, and that there is no evidence of the deep-pockets hypothesis. Hans concludes that jurors do treat businesses differently than individuals, but this is because the public has higher expectations of corporations and more rigorous standards for their conduct.

How do we know which social and economic policies work, which should be continued, and which should be changed? Jim Manzi argues that throughout history, various methods have been attempted -- except for controlled experimentation. Experiments provide the feedback loop that allows us, in certain limited ways, to identify error in our beliefs as a first step to correcting them. Over the course of the first half of the twentieth century, scientists invented a methodology for executing controlled experiments to evaluate certain kinds of proposed social interventions. This technique goes by many names in different contexts (randomized control trials, randomized field experiments, clinical trials, etc.). Over the past ten to twenty years this has been increasingly deployed in a wide variety of contexts, but it remains the red-haired step child of modern social science. This is starting to change, and this change should be encouraged and accelerated, even though the staggering complexity of human society creates severe limits to what social science could be realistically expected to achieve. Randomized trials have shown, for example, that work requirements for welfare recipients have succeeded like nothing else in encouraging employment, that charter school vouchers have been successful in increasing educational attainment for underprivileged children, and that community policing has worked to reduce crime, but also that programs like Head Start and Job Corps, which might be politically attractive, fail to attain their intended objectives. Business leaders can also use experiments to test decisions in a controlled, low-risk environment before investing precious resources in large-scale changes -- the philosophy behind Manzi's own successful software company. In a powerful and masterfully-argued book, Manzi shows us how the methods of science can be applied to social and economic policy in order to ensure progress and prosperity.

In the US alone, pharmaceutical companies spend around $7 billion a year on clinical trials for drugs; all this in a global market where increasing competition and pressure on healthcare financing are both impacting on margins and profitability. One solution for pharmaceutical companies lies within the clinical trials themselves. If only you can communicate the trial findings to the right people, in the right way, you can benefit from this huge investment and add significant value to your product range and your brand. Successfully Marketing Clinical Trials Results is a comprehensive guide for every marketing professional faced with the challenge of using marketing to convert scientific data into sales. The book offers you practical knowledge on how to use medical research data to maximise the revenue from your products. There are sections explaining how to: • identify your market and devise your strategy; • develop your content and translate data into a message that has impact; • use language, layout and illustrations to best effect; • communicate internally as well as externally; • make best use of the resources available; • align your sales force and the external agencies with whom you work; • lead the people in the project team; • co-operate with the medical researchers, external experts and the press. In this book are answers for everything from how to handle class-effect questions to developing a shared brand vocabulary. There are plenty of vivid examples and real-life applications to reinforce the ideas. Cases studies illustrate solutions to problems; checklists and tips will help to implement the suggestions and recommendations. Günter Umbach has distilled the essence both of 25 years' experience in the healthcare market and of his highly successful seminar series on marketing clinical trials into the professional advice given in this book. The text is accompanied by a CD ROM containing detailed Powerpoint slides supporting each of the (over 300) techniques that you can use in your marketing team meetings to develop great ideas of your own.

Using a courtroom trial as a metaphor, Training on Trial seeks to get to the truth about why training fails and puts the business partnership model to work for real. While upbeat lingo abounds about “complementing strategic objectives” and “driving productivity,” the fact is that most training does not make a significant enough impact on business results, and when it does, training professionals fail to make a convincing case about the value added to the bottom line. The vaunted “business partnership model” has yet to be realized?and in tough economic times, when the training budget is often the first to be cut, training is on trial for its very existence. Readers on both sides of the “courtroom” will learn how to: Build expertise and become genuinely involved in your company's or client's business Pledge to work together to positively impact a pressing business need or pivotal business opportunity Ask the jury their expectations and revise your own to be more realistic and mutually satisfying Develop a plan, targeting the key drivers of performance success after training has taken place Execute your initiative and deliver a stellar ROESM (Return on Expectations) A thought-provoking read for trainers and business unit leaders alike, Training on Trial provides a new application of the Kirkpatrick Four-Level Evaluation Model and a multitude of tips and techniques that allow lessons learned to be put into action now.
