Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAndrew Wedeman argues that economic reform in China succeeded because government failed to prevent local officials from forcing prices to market levels. Reformers opted for a hybrid system of price controls in the 1980s, wherein commodities had both fixed and floating prices. Depressed fixed prices led to `resource wars,` as localities vied for control over undervalued commodities while inflated prices fueled an investment boom that saturated markets and led to import barriers. Although local rent seeking and protectionism appeared to carve up the economy, they had actually cleared the way for sweeping reforms. [detailed...]

In this new study, Anne C. Loveland and Otis B. Wheeler demonstrate that evangelical megachurches evolved from multiple models and influences. Lavishly illustrated with more than 150 images, From Meetinghouse to Megachurch fills a significant gap in the historiography of evangelical religion in the United States. [detailed...]

Roger D. Blackwell
From Mind to Market : Reinventing the Retail Supply Chain

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Anyone in business today who hopes to be in business tomorrow needs to understand the rules of the new marketplace,` says Roger Blackwell, one of the most sought-after authorities on consumer behavior and marketing. The traditional approach to retailing, beginning at the point of manufacture and ending with the sale to the consumer, is out of date and unrealistic. `In an ultracompetitive marketplace, manufacturers can no longer dictate what consumers will buy. The savvy consumer is more educated than ever as to what he or she wants and where to get it at the best price. Using this information to develop the products consumers are looking for is demand-chain management.` Featuring visionary companies like Wal-Mart, AT&,T and Kinko`s, whose leadership as demand-chain managers is helping them to create the marketplace of the 21st-century, Blackwell illustrates the cutting-edge concept of demand-chain management and its role in revolutionizing retailing in the new millennium.

From Mine to Mistress - Corporate Strategies and Government Policies in the International Diamond Industry

2007 y.
Publisher: Mining Communications Ltd.
Description: Secrecy clouds the entire diamond industry, its inner workings are often unclear to corporate and governmental decision-makers. Moreover, the rapid globalisation of the industry is impacting on corporate strategies, and producer-country governments are demanding domestic beneficiation. Meanwhile, the uncartelisation of the traditional monopoly structure has enhanced competition, causing a traditionally fragmented value chain to reorganise through growth or consolidation. This book is about adding value in the diamond pipeline from the mine (upstream) to the retail consumer (on the downstream side). At each level of the value chain, the revenue optimisation choices are discussed. What all decision-makers require is access to industry information, and an answer to their questions. While this book does not give all the answers, it describes the systems as they operate today, and identifies the interaction among all industry players. Taken in its entirety, this book will leave… [detailed...]

From Monopoly to Competition: The Transformations of Alcoa, 1888-1986

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past century, Alcoa has developed from a small entrepreneurial venture to a giant corporation, from a one-dimensional, owner-managed firm to a complex managerial bureaucracy, from a domestic company to a multinational enterprise. In the process, Alcoa survived a difficult transition from its long-held position as a monopolist (of aluminum production) to its current status as a firm operating in highly competitive international markets. This book presents Alcoa`s history, from its beginnings asa speculative venture seeking to exploit an untested technology, through its rise to become the most successful monopoly in American history. By World War II, no other American corporation had developed its industry`s markets more dramatically and then dominated them more completely. The book analyzes the undoing of Alcoa`s monopoly by war and antitrust, as well as how Alcoa adapted to evolving forms of competition. [detailed...]
