Today, businesses and celebrities are finding themselves the front-line targets of attacks by headline-seekers, the news media, disgruntled former employees, litigious adversaries, and many others. And it's crisis managers like Eric Dezenhall who step in to fight the bad publicity and sometimes even turn the wave of negative opinion on the attackers themselves. NAIL 'EM! explores the personalities, conflicts, and motivations involved in such attacks and describes Dezenhall's unique communications approach to slowing, preventing, and reversing such situations.

Reflecting our changed perspectives since September 11, 2001, Dezenhall establishes that crisis management is often personality driven, as exemplified by President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, whose plain-talking, straightforward styles earned the public's trust immediately after the terrorist attacks. Next he shows how the art of communications cannot solve deeper problems, as seen in the poor effects of American leaflet drops in Afghanistan and various official responses to the anthrax scare. Finally, he analyzes how the cultural landscape has shifted since September 11, giving examples of how the news media as a whole may be becoming more balanced, while cautioning that even in this changed climate corporations and public personalities will not be immune from attack..

Anti-sweatshop activist and commentator Andrew Ross reports on the Inventiveness of low-pay campaigners around the world.

While critics have decried anti-globalization as an aimless—and endless—assortment of causes, the fight for fair labor is arguably the movement's greatest success. The industrial sweatshop has become a byword for corporate-led globalization; the world's lowest-paying jobs have been the subject of high-profile media coverage; and exposés of sweatshop conditions have become a staple of investigative reporting and public attention. As a result, fair labor standards are now on the negotiating table of world trade agreements.

Although the fight is far from over, in Low Pay, High Profile, Andrew Ross presents case studies from around the world—from the health hazards faced by Asian microchip workers and recyclers of electronic waste to the controversy over Nike's contract with Manchester United, the world's leading soccer club—to show how and why the movement found the strength and energy to shake the confidence of corporate and financial elites. Here is an unabashedly partisan inquiry into the cruelty and indignity of the modern workplace that shows how critique combined with action can bring world-changing results..
