What will become of CEPROMAD University in the DRC in 2O65?
In the last century, "research" did not yet exist, either as a word or as a modern method. There was science and scientists, with capital "S", but now there is organized research with various precise sectors: pure research, applied research and directed research to differentiate it from a simple quest and investigation. The University of CEPROMAD has been established in several parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is in response to the pressing need to open up the scientific community and to the demand for learning the science of Management. Lately, however, the survival and development of this institution have become increasingly cumbersome, if not regressive.

Interruption Selling
For the past twenty years the sales careers of an entire generation of salespeople have been formed and influenced with a permission based philosophy and system. In increasingly competitive and slowing markets, this passive, soft approach is failing to deliver the commercial outcomes required by business owners and managers large and small. Succeeding in new business sales has always required tenacity, self belief and focus. There are many self help books and resources available in the areas of sales. However, there is one keystone discipline which no one discusses, which will have a massive influence on your success or failure. It is the willingness and ability to Interrupt; Self, Systems, Prospects and Clients. Business owners, managers and sales staff who have something of value and the ability to interrupt themselves and others will achieve their goals. This book positions & teaches this principle as the keystone philosophy to new business development & growth.

The Coca-Cola Trail
The Coca-Cola Trail is a journey for anyone interested in discovering the history and growth of the world's most recognized product. The trail will take readers to the places in America that tell the story - places where you can see, touch, and remember. Whether a serious Coca-Cola memorabilia collector, a person interested in American business history, or simply a fan - The Coca-Cola Trail provides a fresh new look at a trusted old friend. 30 chapters cover each bottling plant location in meticulous detail, including unique and ghost billboard signage.So, what is a Coca-Cola Bottler? Well, from a legal standpoint, it's a franchisee of the Coca-Cola company, who has been granted the right to bottle and sell Coca-Cola in an exclusive territory. This franchise or contract has been amended and otherwise changed somewhat over the years to add many additional brands, but in the beginning, it was granted for the sole purpose of bottling and distributing Coca-Cola throughout the bottler's territory.In the early years, it was bottled one bottle at a time, placed in wooden cases, and hauled to the customer in horse or mule-drawn wagons. The bottling plants were crude and the task was difficult but by acquiring these franchises, these entrepreneurs had unknowingly won the lottery. They had settled on investing in a product that would change the world. A fabulous beverage with a delicious, unique taste profile that provided a refreshing boost to the drinker. Even in today's world, with thousands of brands of both non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, Coca-Cola remains at the top in providing that unique taste and special experience in a beverage. You combine this great product with brilliant advertising and marketing from The Coca-Cola Company and "voila" you have a brand and company and a bottling and distribution system that has been so successful that books upon books have been written about it for over 100 years. That is unique in itself."If you like history of any type, you must read this book. Part history, part travel guide but always interesting, and when you've finished you'll be a master of some particular trivia questions.The Coca-Cola Trail is chockfull of very interesting - every page brings a new delight of some lesser-known areas of the US. A wonderful book that I highly recommend to all history buffs." -- Linda Thompson, host of The Authors Show"I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Coke memorabilia and also to anyone who is interested in learning a different portion of the history of the South. Of course, Coke extended past the southern states, even in the beginning, with one of the earliest bottling plants being located in Leadville, Colorado. If you grew up drinking Coke, this is somewhat like a trip down memory lane as well; filled with pictures of old places and people who were active in the first years of Coke." -- S. Byrd, Atlanta, GA""Coca-Cola is an international sensation, and Larry Jorgensen of Lafayette, Louisiana, has written a book documenting the many places in the United States showcasing Coke history or attractions unique to Coca-Cola. Jorgensen spent two years researching this book, which is also filled with historic photos and recent shots of places and people." -- Louisiana Book News
