She has got a wisdom tooth coming through that is driving her to distraction. She is on good terms with her neighbours who know nothing of where she goes every night. She also demands upwards of EURO300 per hour to men who want to have sex with her while she beats them.          A quick Google search for an escort (or prostitute with a bigger bank balance) will bring up listings for more than 1,000 men and women in cities and towns in every corner of Ireland. Pictures of the prostitute, in little or no clothing, is accompanied by the vast range of services they offer and, without fail, a mobile contact number.          The world's oldest profession is taking on a distinctly 21st century gloss.          This book explains what has become thousands of men's most guilty secret. Ireland is a haven for sex at its most seedy. It asks who exactly is offering the sex? What has led the women to come to this country to offer the services they do, what has driven them from their homes? Are they doing it voluntarily, or were they lured here by the promise of a better life and regretted it ever since? Who are the pimps who are taking half or more of the exorbitant fee? What has happened to those who practised the trade in its more traditional form on the streets?          * not real name","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49579627806993,"sku":"GOR001834987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49756680290577,"sku":"GOR002499771","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0717144917.jpg?v=1751042289"},{"product_id":"supply-based-advantage-book-stephen-rogers-9780814401552","title":"The Supply-Based Advantage","description":"It's no secret that good supplier relationships are key to your business's success. And it's certainly easy enough to understand that certain strategies--high volume buying for lower prices, for example--are tried and true moneysavers and safe bets when building and maintaining supply chains. The trouble is: everyone does them. So although there is nothing wrong with such strategies, it's a fallacy to believe that they create any true advantage over your competition.  The challenge comes in designing relationships that leave your competitors in the dust, by leveraging the capabilities and qualities that are unique to your organization. The Supply-Based Advantage first establishes exactly what is meant by moving beyond mere cost control to capture the alluring yet elusive concept of sustainable competitive advantage.  Global supply dynamics spawn a new complexity. Whereas it may have been possible previously to see each supplier's role as discrete and self-contained, now you must manage a supply landscape in which multiple technologies, regulations, schedules, and even cultures must be reconciled. Couple this new reality with the ever accelerating pace of change, and the scope of your challenge becomes clear. But you can do it--with the right information and tools.   Stephen C. Rogers, a veteran of corporate supply chain environments, has combined unparalleled experience with pointed examples from dozens of world leading companies (Toyota, Nike, Procter \u0026amp; Gamble, Dow Chemical, Hewlett Packard, Harley Davidson, and more) to present a clear view of how tomorrow's market dominators will be designing and executing supply strategies that genuinely and fully integrate with marketing, finance, and overall corporate strategy. Specifically, \u003ci\u003eThe Supply-Based Advantage\u003c\/i\u003e explains how your organization can capture total value, create renewable and mutual benefits, link supply elements more dependably with fulfillment objectives, and build flexibility into your supply chain so that you are ready to handle any unexpected or unique developments.  Rogers takes you through all the components of a successful supply strategy, including how to:  - Lay out your policies, principles, and responsibilities toward potential suppliers.  - Match supplier competencies with your company's needs and strategy.  - Use supplier relationships to support competitive advantage.  - Form a supply network by connecting the efforts of your individual suppliers to one another and, ultimately, to customers.  - Successfully manage suppliers.  - Facilitate communication and management initiatives across multiple functions and partnerships.  -  The book covers other important topics including the flow of information, money, and talent; the critical skill of continuous adjustment; and the multifaceted challenge of supply risk management.  Today's supply chain and supplier management is more than an opportunity to save money and increase efficiencies. It's an unprecedented chance to build long-standing strategic advantage, and contribute directly to your organization's rise to sustainable market dominance.   Stephen C. Rogers is a Senior Consultant with the Cincinnati Consulting Consortium, concentrating on Purchasing and Supplier Management, and an adjunct professor at Xavier University. During his 30 years at Procter \u0026amp; Gamble, he had sourcing roles in every major business unit, and, as the father of strategic sourcing at P\u0026amp;G, participated in the development and expansion of Procter \u0026amp; Gamble's global sourcing efforts and the redesign of the Folgers Coffee supply chain. He was named a Supply and Demand Chain magazine Pro to Know in 2004, and has served on the American Management Association's Supply Chain Council for the past 10 years.

In this forward-thinking guide, author Stephen Rogers explains why--and how--you should integrate suppliers into your corporate strategy. Filled with enlightening examples from companies such as Mars, Procter \u0026amp; Gamble, Intel, and Walmart, The Supply-Based Advantage does this by revealing how any organization can design, build, maintain, and remodel its supply base to better support total business strategy and operations. Blending theory, best practices, and relevant examples, this book can help any reader: achieve greater profitability by using suppliers to capture value beyond price; develop a supply management strategy that creates real, renewable benefits; maintain flexibility in their supply chain to deal with unique business situations; and link supply execution into product marketing and fulfillment purposes. If companies' suppliers aren't fully integrated into their corporate strategy, there's no way for them to discover and deliver important savings. As a leader, it's up to you to ensure supply decisions fit with your organization's changing goals. The Supply-Based Advantage teaches you how to get all those responsible for inventory on the same page to produce bottom-line results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51668731461905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51668731691281,"sku":"NIN9781400242429","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689935958289,"sku":"NLS9781400242429","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1400242428.jpg?v=1751272031"},{"product_id":"extra-uterine-foetation-and-gestation-and-the-early-signs-which-characterize-it-book-stephen-rogers-9781436842730","title":"Extra-Uterine Foetation And Gestation, And The Early Signs Which Characterize It","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51670157328657,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51670157787409,"sku":"NIN9781436842730","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1436842735.jpg?v=1751305538"},{"product_id":"respiratory-diseases-contemporary-diagnosis-and-treatment-book-stephen-rogers-9781632428028","title":"Respiratory Diseases: Contemporary Diagnosis and Treatment","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52487804977425,"sku":"NLS9781632428028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53083652358417,"sku":"NIN9781632428028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781632428028.jpg?v=1759861621"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-stephen-rogers.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
