Carti care mi-au folosit la facultate

Ca o continuare la insemnarea aia despre resurse in materie de publicitate si branding am incercat sa fac o lista cu niste carti pe care le-am citit si mi-au fost de folos in primul an si probabil vor fi si in urmatorii.

Mentiuni

• Am citit toate cartile pe care le-am enumerat altfel le-as enumera degeaba;
• Daca vezi o carte si te gandesti „chiar merita n euro/lire/dolari/lei sa o cumpar?” gandeste-te daca o vei mai folosi vreodata si daca iti trebuie toata informatia cuprinsa sau doar o parte, trimite un email si intreaba la ce am folosit-o eu daca intrebarea tot nu si-a gasit raspuns. Ar fi prea mult sa adaug insemnari, sa dau note si sa evaluez fiecare carte in parte dar ma voi stradui sa-mi aduc aminte daca e nevoie.
• Nu toate sunt carti din categoria „business”, cele care nu sunt pot fi folositoare pentru cei pasionati de beletristica sau pentru ca ofera un insight interesant intr-un anumit domeniu (de ex. Nick Hornby – Fever Pitch in lumea fotbalului)
• E o lista subiectiva si in acelasi timp un prilej pentru putina ordine in gandire 😀
• Lista va mai suferi de-a lungul timpului asa ca nu e in forma finala. Inca.
