3. Announcing a Special Learning Program Option at WISR . . . Individually designed studies focusing on Guerrilla Marketing . . . WISR learners explore the relationship between the role of small business and social change. The curriculum further explores the concept of social responsibility and profitability. The core of the curriculum is based upon the works of Jay Conrad Levinson and his best selling Guerrilla Marketing and "Guerrilla Business" series. In part, the Guerrilla Marketing curriculum is drawing from a current catalog of 37 titles which have been translated into 42 languages. The alternative guerrilla business philosophy and methodology has proven successful and in a variety of cultures and economies. The alternative business development program is perfect for business leaders and community activists who are looking for a way to balance the needs of business and the needs of the community. Contact WISR or email larry@california.com for more information.
