Review

"The book is a reliable and authoritative statement by an acute and sympathetic political scientist" - Asian Affairs"Professor Gunter has written an eminently readable, well-documented analysis that shows how the Kurdish question may be on the verge of a solution in Iraq and Turkey. Like his previous work, this book is polished and persuasive." - Tozun Bahcheli, Professor of Political Science, King's University College at the University of Western Ontario, Canada"Professor Gunter, in his characteristic lucid style, shows how federalism in Iraq, as well as EU-mandated and AK Party reforms in Turkey are cautiously helping lead to a solution to the long-running Kurdish problem in these two important states. This provides a most welcomed insight into their future." - M. Hakan Yavuz, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Utah, USA"Kurds Ascending draws on much of Professor Gunter's most recent work to provide a very up-to-date, riveting account of the monumental changes occurring vis-à-vis the Kurdish issue today. Written in clear, accessible language yet chocked full of interesting up-to-date information, Michael Gunter's book should be of great interest to both those previously unfamiliar with the Kurds and specialists in Middle East politics as well." - David Romano, Assistant Professor of International Studies, Rhodes College, USA, author of The Kurdish Nationalist Movement

Long Description

Reputation, for a business or a brand, has a value. This is as much an emotional value as a financial one and yet few people have a clear sense of the implications. The term is most commonly used when a sudden or sharp reduction in reputational value results in damage to the business. Garry Honey's wonderfully concise guide explains how and why reputation damage becomes a cost to business continuity; what exactly are the risks to your reputation, and the various management and financial options to enable you to ensure your reputation is protected. Reputation is a behavioural rather than communications concept. It reflects you do rather than what you say. This gives reputation risk management a significance and a degree of complexity which is at a different level altogether from other forms of risk. Fortunately,'What is Reputation Worth' will enable you to raise awareness and engage anyone concerned with the on-going reputation of your business; that is: brand or other commercial managers; risk specialists who need to understand how risk management is extended to cover intangible value and, finally, insurance and other financial specialists who are involved in providing risk mitigation solutions to business.
