Topic: Beder

	Did Target Miss the Boat?
		Beder said in a research note that without the Mervyn's and Marshall Field's stores in the company's repertoire, investors are sure to notice that Target has had less-than-steady EPS growth in the past few years -- a trend he sees continuing in 2004.
		Beder concedes that a sale makes sense, partly because of the amount of money that would be needed to maintain the chains in the coming years.
		Beder noted that if results are adjusted for the rollout of the company's Target Visa program in 2001, the Target division had double-digit operating income growth when faced with a double-digit comparison during only two quarters in the last three years.

	Book review of Global Spin: the Corporate Assault on Environmentalism by Sharon Beder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Beder describes the deceptive and unethical tactics employed by corporations whose profits are directly threatened by environmental regulation.
		Beder describes how corporations are able to determine and edit the way in which environmental issues are reported in the media by owning media channels, flmailing media sources (by threatening to withdraw advertising revenue) and "wooing journalists".
		The only minor criticism of Beder is her resentment of corporations for making significant profits, which I think is due largely to her dislike of capitalist societies.

	Book review of Global Spin: the Corporate Assault on Environmentalism by Sharon Beder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Beder is strong in her criticism of the media and in particular of journalists, some of whom she portrays as lazy, as they take a media release from a major corporation and run it as a news feature (p.113).
		The big loser in all this is the public, and Sharon Beder is strong in her view that all facts should be on the table and that we should avoid, as mentioned by Fiona Schutt, manipulative facts and figures.
		Beder can rest assured that she will raise the level of public awareness and public questioning about the validity and reliability of the information they are served.

		Beder's blistering indictment of the wealth transfer from the public to private industry (under the guise of achieving economic efficiency) powerfully urges readers to prevent such abuse of public trust in the future.

		Beder relates how large corporations are often able to exercise market power in order to extort unusually large fees from their customers.

	MAY 98 - BOOK NOTES
		With the partial exception of a chapter on dioxin, Beder's approach is to categorize, describe and illustrate with examples the corporate tactics she discusses.
		Beder recognizes that corporate spin is not the whole story of how business has managed to hold off fundamental economic and social changes to protect the environment.
		Beder is right to warn that environmentalists "ignore the ideological sphere where corporations set the agenda" at their own peril.

		Beder holds an MBA from the University of California at Berkeley and a B.S. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
		Eric Beder: I think Kmart is not a potential merger partner for either one of these chains (except as a purchase of real estate)...I believe both Target and Wal-Mart are now looking on this period of weakness as a time to take further market share from Kmart via new store growth.
		Eric Beder: Urban stores do present problems in terms of supply, but the density level of customers leads to larger sales and higher returns...if the urban area is stable, the level of competition for a discounter is relatively weak and can not offer the pricing and selection a Kmart or Target could.

		Beder says: The effects on humans are long-term and particularly a problem for children who put their hands in their mouth after touching the timber.
		Beder says: Yes, there are alternative treatments for pine and each manufacturer of CCA treated pine seems to offer alternatives, which you can find when you go to their websites, for example, Koppers-arch manufactures echo wood, as well as CCA treated timber.
		Beder says: No, my research has found that in general hardware stores are not informed about the dangers of working with treated timber and therefore unable to give information to their customers.

	Enval Perspectives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Beder presents compelling evidence that the information we receive from the media is heavily tainted by these public relations (PR) organisations The tactics of the PR organisations include casting doubt on the legitimacy of claims of environmentalists by discrediting them as ‘NIMBY’ or ‘eco-terrorist’.
		This issue was brought to light recently with the McLibel case in Britain and Beder informs us that ever year thousands of Americans are sued for speaking out against governments and corporation and many others are dropping their campaigns for fears of multi-million dollar lawsuits against individuals.
		Beder concludes that democracy is declining because, despite surveys that show the majority of people in most countries think that environmental protection should be regulated by governments and given priority over economic growth, this is not happening due to corporate efforts to subvert or manipulate popular will.

		Beder implies, wrongly, that Greenpeace's involvement in Sydney's Olympic Games is and has always been motivated by the desire for positive PR and, from that, increased donations.
		Sharon Beder is highly misled in her negative assessment of the Olympic Coordination Authority's (OCA) Homebush Bay site cleanup and appears uninterested in gaining further knowledge that may provide opportunities to move on to a more informed position.

		Beder has opened my mind to the ways in which the environment, and its defenders are/aren`t portrayed in the media.
		Beder sourced many reliable reports and scientists, which say that dioxin does have several undesirable effects on humans, as well as on the environment we live in.
		Beder has also produced a very biased book, one which is quite a good piece of propaganda for environmental groups.

	ECOlink March 99 page8
		IN LATE January Dr Sharon Beder, associate professor in science and technology studies at the University of Wollongong and author of Global Spin: The Corporate Assault on the Environment¸ warned a packed public meeting in Wellington about the tactics being used by corporations to challenge environmental change.
		At the heart of her findings is evidence that corporations spend billions of dollars a year in the effort to reshape public opinion and influence politicians to oppose environmental reforms.
		By supporting and strongly promoting the few scientists who said global warming was not a danger, companies were successful in making it seem as though the scientific community was unsure of the threat of climate change, discouraging many countries and individuals from demanding immediate action on the issue.

		Most current Kent State students probably don’t recognize his name, but at one point, Beder was one of the most visible undergraduates on campus as a student senator.
		Despite high praise, Beder didn’t quite fit the mold of a campus politician, and he continues to defy the archetype of small business entrepreneurs.
		Joe Dangelo, a Kent State alumnus and friend of Beder’s, doesn’t want to say he had “better” things to worry about, but he always had something on his mind besides class.
