Transcendental phenomenology, based on principles identified by Husserl (1931) and
translated into a qualitative method by Moustakas (1994), holds promise as a viable procedure for
phenomenological research. However, to best understand the approach to transcendental
phenomenology, the procedures need to be illustrated by a qualitative study that employs this
approach.

 This article first discusses the procedures for organizing and analyzing data according
to Moustakas (1994). Then it illustrates each step in the data analysis procedure of transcendental
phenomenology using a study of reinvestment or the “ripple effect” for nine individuals who have
participated in a youth leadership mentoring program from the 1970s to the present.
Transcendental phenomenology works well for this study as this methodology provides logical,
systematic, and coherent design elements that lead to an essential description of the experience

Political marketing – vive la différence! - Information

Vol. 30 No. 10/11, 1996, pp. 14-24.

Posted by Phil Harris on http://www.phil-harris.com/wp-content/uploads/Vive-le-Difference-1996.pdf

The explicit use of techniques in politics which we would now describe as
marketing dates back at least to 1920 in Britain (Wring, 1994). Since the Saatchi
and Saatchi poster – “Labour isn’t working” – it has become commonplace to
speak of political marketing, and many marketers have come to believe that
there is a direct transference of their concepts and tools to the political arena.

In this paper, we consider the differences between political and mainstream
marketing and suggest some areas in which we believe that marketers may
learn from the political science literature. At this stage we confine our analysis
and most of our examples to mainland British politics.

ABSTRACT
With the emergence of global information and technology, firms have reformulated marketing and
technological teaming in a concert effort to accommodate transnational marketing relationships
that enable firms to compete in a global business society. Given the competitiveness of
organizational distinction and implication, firms have proactively created an internal synergy that
enable marketing teams to better excel in an environment of obscurity and uncertainly. Marketing
management has evolved into phenomena that require constant reassessment of vision, mission,
and strategy in an unrelenting effort to maintain organizational survival and competitiveness in a
global recessive business economy. Information technology has greatly inspired this renewed
sense of competition; moreover, organizations that embrace the challenge of integrating
technology within marketing teams will only become the change agents the business world
community will aspire to duplicate for great strategic advantage.

ABSTRACT
Servant Leadership (SL) has been in the forefront of business theory for the past decade and yet has
been slightly utilized to describe and analyze specific areas of the concerns of business today. This
study will attempt to apply the theories of Servant Leadership to the concerns of outsourcing, internetrelated business and the trends associated with the Baby Boomer generation.

Utilizing Political Ideologies To Market A Political Candidate - Information



Utilizing Political Ideologies To Market A Political Candidate
Shermichael V. Singleton, Morehouse College, USA
Andrew Honeycutt, Shorter University, USA
Journal of Business & Economics Research – January 2012 Volume 10, Number 1

Modern marketing of political candidates begins by understanding central concepts of ideologies. The utilization of ideologies is complex, in that there is no single concept or claim revealing surprising affinities with various images of the candidate. It also has distinctive function, by misrepresenting the totality of the ideology by forming a total belief in the candidate versus the ideology in a particular way. People must commit or surrender to the demands of the candidate, thus making it possible for the candidate to get elected. The branding of the candidate while utilizing political ideologies in part disables people from easily disregarding information perceived to be antithetical to the concepts of the ideology (Quelch, 2007).

This study gathered lived experiences of 15 organizational leaders who practice
the servant leadership philosophy, and explored how business leaders link their servant leadership
practices to their organization’s effectiveness. The qualitative responses obtained during this study
indicated that the perceived organizational barriers that prevent the servant leadership practices are
the organization’s culture, the fear of change, and the lack of knowledge regarding the servant
leadership philosophy.
