Cancer Screening in Japan: Market Research and Segmentation
by John A. Quelch Margaret RodriguezSince founding CancerScan in 2008, Jun Fukuyoshi and Yoshiki Ishikawa had helped to improve cancer screening rates in Japan. Between 2005 and 2007, awareness of breast cancer in Japan rose from 55% to 70%, but the incidence of breast cancer screenings remained constant. Jun and Yoshiki applied marketing research techniques to increase the screening rate for breast cancer, a disease which killed over 12,000 Japanese women in 2011. Cancer screening initiatives accounted for 60% of the company's 2013 sales of $2.5 million.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America (A)
by Regina E. Herzlinger Natalie KindredCancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), a U.S. network of four privately owned oncology focused factory hospitals, was weighing options for growth. CTCA was entirely cancer focused and specialized in treating patients with complex and advanced-stage cancers, who were reached through advertising its integrative, team-based approach to care. CEO Stephen Bonner needed to decide whether to focus future expansion on building additional full-scale hospitals or pursuing a hub-and-spoke model, in which numerous oncology outpatient centers would be built in the region of each CTCA hospital. His decision would be made in the context of CTCA's unique business model and treatment philosophy and the public policy landscape, including certificate-of-need laws and the advent of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and bundled payments. CTCA's for-profit status and direct-to-consumer advertising made it a target, he knew.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America (B)
by Regina E. Herzlinger Natalie KindredThis case, a follow-up to Cancer Treatment Centers of America (A), HBS No. 313-012, begins with the debate over New Hampshire's certificate-of-need (CON) law, which restricts hospital expansion. This debate ignited significant public criticism of Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), a for-profit chain of five cancer-focused hospitals that had previously won a CON exception in Georgia, over its for-profit status and low acceptance of government-insured patients. The case also introduces the controversy over CTCA's cancer treatment outcomes-reporting practices, as well as the disparities in outcomes-reporting practices by cancer treatment providers generally. By providing perspectives on both sides of the issues, the case allows students to debate and draw their own conclusions about whether organizations like CTCA should be granted CON exceptions and whether the criticisms of its patient-acceptance and outcomes-reporting practices are well founded.
Candidate Experience auf Karriere-Webseiten der deutschen Bundesministerien: Eine Analyse unter Anwendung der CUBE-Formel nach Scholz (BestMasters)
by Simon GalkaWissenschaft und Praxis sind einig darin, dass eine positive Candidate Experience auf die Wahrnehmung von privatwirtschaftlichen und öffentlichen Organisationen als Employer Brand einzahlt. In der Fülle möglicher Kontaktpunkte zwischen Kandidat*innen und Organisationen gelten organisationseigene Karriere-Websites weiterhin als wichtigstes Medium. Doch so eindeutig die Auffassung über eine gute Candidate Experience auf Karriere-Webseiten auch scheint, so undeutlich ist die Definition von „gut“ in diesem Zusammenhang. Die CUBE-Analyse von Prof. Dr. Scholz in der durch den Autor weiterentwickelten Form quantifiziert und qualifiziert die Candidate Experience zeitgemäß. Anhand der Karriere-Webseiten der 2021 neu konstituierten deutschen Bundesministerien wird analysiert, wie die Bundesverwaltung heute und in Zukunft im starken Wettbewerb um arbeitskraftanbietende Menschen („War for Talent“) bestehen kann.
Candidate Experience: Ansätze für eine positiv erlebte Arbeitgebermarke im Bewerbungsprozess und darüber hinaus
by Tim VerhoevenArbeitgeberattraktivität darf nicht schon beim Bewerbungsprozess enden. In einer Zeit, in welcher der Fachkräftemangel allgegenwärtig ist, können Arbeitgeber es sich nicht leisten, Bewerber und potenzielle Bewerber durch eine schlechte Candidate Experience - also ein negatives Bewerbererlebnis - zu vergraulen. Der häufigste Entscheidungsgrund für oder gegen einen Arbeitgeber sind die Erfahrungen des Bewerbers vor, während und nach dem Bewerbungsprozess. Das Bild, was viele Arbeitgeber an den verschiedenen Kontaktpunkten im Bewerbungsprozess abgeben, und die Erwartungen der Kandidaten liegen jedoch häufig weit auseinander. Diese Dissonanz zu beseitigen und dadurch ein konsistentes positives Arbeitgebermarkenerlebnis zu schaffen, ist das Kernziel eines professionellen Candidate-Experience-Managements. Aktuelle Studien, greifbare Praxisbeispiele und leicht umsetzbare Steuerungsinstrumente geben in diesem Buch das nötige Rüstzeug, um die eigene Candidate Experience zu optimieren und Bewerber zu Fans werden zu lassen.

Candidate Profiling: Wie Sie Bewerber identifizieren und erreichen. Berichte aus dem wirklichen Leben.
by Bernhard Schelenz Oliver GerritsPersonaler müssen heute Jim Rockford, Sherlock Holmes und Lisbeth Salander in einer Person sein: Sie brauchen detektivisches Gespür. Die Wirtschaft boomt, der Fachkräftemangel weitet sich aus. In der Menge der Jobangebote verliert die klassische Stellenanzeige in der Zeitung und im Internet ihre Wirkung. Und die Personalbeschaffung in Schulen und Hochschulen deckt nicht den Bedarf an berufserfahrenen Kräften. Employer Branding ist als oberflächliche Arbeitgeberwerbung enttarnt, und ohne Unterscheidbarkeit gehen Unternehmen im Wettbewerb um knappe Arbeitskräfte unter. An dieser Stelle setzt Candidate Profiling an. Gleichermaßen Such- wie Differenzierungsstrategie, geht es unter einem völlig neuen Blickwinkel an die Aufgabe der Personalbeschaffung heran. Die Suche setzt dort an, wo die Zielgruppen tatsächlich sind: nicht in der virtuellen Welt, sondern im echten Leben. Dazu muss man zwei Dinge wissen: Was tun die Mitarbeiter in spe, wenn sie gerade keine Mitarbeiter sind ? vor Dienstbeginn, in der Mittagspause, am Abend, am Wochenende, im Urlaub? Und wie bringt man sie auf den Geschmack, wenn sie gerade nicht mit einem Jobangebot rechnen? Candidate Profiling geht strategisch vor ? genau wie Kriminalisten: Sie ermitteln Motive von Personen, untersuchen Lebenswelten, leiten daraus ihre Erkenntnisse ab und erstellen Profile. Die Autoren beraten und unterstützen seit vielen Jahren Personalverantwortliche und Recruiter bei der Mitarbeitersuche. Als professionelle Kommunikatoren sind sie versiert in der zielgruppengerechten Ansprache von Menschen. Neben der ausführlichen Vorstellung des Konzepts begründet das Buch schlüssig den notwendigen Paradigmenwechsel bei der Kandidatenansprache in Zeiten knapper Arbeitskräfte. Mit zahlreichen Beispielen aus Branchen und Berufen, in denen qualifizierte Fachkräfte Mangelware sind (Gastronomie, Ingenieurwissenschaften und Technik, IT, Lehramt, Medizin, Naturwissenschaft, Pflege, Sozialwesen, Technik/Mechatronik, Vertrieb, Wirtschaftswissenschaft, Paketzusteller und Berufskraftfahrer), zeigt es, wie die Methode des ?Profilings? zu einer zielführenden Suchstrategie wird.

Candor at Clever
by Ethan S. Bernstein Om LalaClever, a high-growth EdTech company based in San Francisco, had grown quickly in market share (Exhibit 1-2) and headcount (Exhibit 3). As with many high-growth companies, however, early employees (many of whom had never managed people before) had been given the opportunity to manage teams, and they had done so with mixed success and consequences for both company success and employee retention. Reflecting on Clever's progress as of early 2017, co-founder and CEO Tyler Bosmeny proposed investing in developing effective managers, such that others wanted to work for them and grow under them. Premised on the belief that providing high-quality feedback was a critical function of effective managers, he launched a Radical Candor initiative, based on tech veteran Kim Scott's book "Radical Candor," that sought to develop managers by helping them master the art and science of developing others.

Candyfreak: A Journey Through The Chocolate Underbelly of America

Candyfreak: A Journey through the Chocolate Underbelly of America (Playaway Adult Nonfiction Ser.)
by Steve AlmondPerhaps you remember the whipped splendor of the Choco-Lite, or the luscious Caravelle bar, or maybe the sublime and perfectly balanced Hershey's Cookies 'n Mint. The Marathon, an inimitable rope of caramel covered in chocolate. Oompahs. Bit-O-Choc. The Kit Kat Dark. Steve Almond certainly does. In fact, he was so obsessed by the inexplicable disappearance of these bars—where'd they go?—that he embarked on a nationwide journey to uncover the truth about the candy business. There, he found an industry ruled by huge conglomerates, where the little guys, the last remaining link to the glorious boom years of the candy bar in America, struggle to survive. Visiting the candy factories that produce the Twin Bing, the Idaho Spud, the Goo Goo Cluster, the Valomilk, and a dozen other quirky bars, Almond finds that the world of candy is no longer a sweet haven. Today's precious few regional candy makers mount daily battles against corporate greed, paranoia, and that good old American compulsion: crushing the little guy. Part candy porn, part candy polemic, part social history, part confession, Candyfreak explores the role candy plays in our lives as both source of pleasure and escape from pain. By turns ecstatic, comic, and bittersweet, Candyfreak is the story of how Steve Almond grew up on candy—and how, for better and worse, candy has grown up, too.

Cannibal Capitalism
by Michael C. HillAn unbiased look at how the economic practices of corporations, leaders, and government are severely damaging the American way of lifeMost of us have lived our lives by the rules--going to school, investing in real estate, and building careers--but the so-called Great Recession has changed everything. Cannibal Capitalism: How Big Business and the Feds Are Ruining America answers the questions on everyone's lips; what happened and where do we go from here?Unlike in most other recent instances of financial turbulence, when this crisis hit, the country turned on itself economically, with the powerhouses--corporations, business leaders, and government--throwing the everyman under the bus. In an effort to avoid becoming slightly less rich, the super-rich effectively cannibalized the true engines of growth in the economy, in the process putting the bottom ninety-nine percent of the population at serious risk of losing everything. Cannibal Capitalism fights back, arguing that to really recover we need to educate our children, invest in our small businesses, use our inflated money to develop real things that build real wealth, and get back to exporting in a big way.Takes a thoughtful look at how income and wealth disparity, industry consolidation, anticompetitive business practices, political ideological extremism, and the hoarding of existing wealth are destroying the wealth building capacity of the nation and the promise of ideal capitalismExamines the financial crisis and its fallout in a clear, no-nonsense wayExplains what we can do to fix a broken system and come out on topThe economic crisis rocking the foundations of the international financial system has had a disproportionately devastating affect on the average person. Angry, afraid, and confused, regular people are looking for answers and Cannibal Capitalism is here to help, illustrating how the super-rich did everything in their power to stay safe at the expense of everyone else.
Cannibal Capitalism: How our System is Devouring Democracy, Care, and the Planetand What We Can Do About It
by Nancy FraserA trenchant look at contemporary capitalism&’s insatiable appetite—and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life–guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital—and starve it to death.
