Book Description
An oligopoly (from the Greek, few sellers) is a market that is dominated by a few large and powerful players. As Steve Hannaford documents with numerous examples, virtually every industry todayfrom medical equipment to airlines, toy retailing to oilis trending in this direction, in the greatest movement toward industry consolidation since the turn of the 20th century. Charting the course of this trend around the world, Hannaford examines the motivations behind consolidation resulting from mergers, acquisitions, buyouts, and alliances; how companies exert political pressure to their advantage; and how the actions of the most dominant playerssuch as Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Viacom, Dell, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, and othersaffect the choices we make at the supermarket, the drugs we are prescribed, and the movies we watch. Everyone who reads the newspapers is aware of the dizzying pace of mergers, acquisitions, buyouts, and alliances, between big companies and small companies in every industry. Such deals, along with the growing social and political clout of the biggest companies, are critical issues for the economy and for our future as consumers. Charting the course of this trend around the world, Hannaford examines the motivations behind consolidation into corporate empires, how companies exert political pressure to their advantage, and how the actions of the most dominant players, such as Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Viacom, Dell, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, and others, affect the choices we have at the supermarket, the drugs we are prescribed, and the movies we watch. Considering the implications of industry concentration on competition, technological innovation, business management, strategy, consumer behavior, and politics, Hannaford paints a provocative, but ultimately balanced, picture of big business and its impact on society.

Book Description
From the man the Wall Street Journal hailed as "the guru of Revenue Management" comes revolutionary ways to recover from the after effects of downsizing and refocus your business on growth. Whatever happened to growth? In Revenue Management, Robert G. Cross answers this question with his ground-breaking approach to revitalizing businesses: focusing on the revenue side of the ledger instead of the cost side. The antithesis of slash-and-burn methods that left companies with empty profits and dissatisfied stockholders, Revenue Management overturns conventional thinking on marketing strategies and offers the key to initiating and sustaining growth. Using case studies from a variety of industries, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations, Cross describes no-tech, low-tech, and high-tech methods that managers can use to increase revenue without increasing products or promotions; predict consumer behavior; tap into new markets; and deliver products and services to customers effectively and efficiently. His proven tactics will help any business dramatically improve its bottom line by meeting the challenge of matching supply with demand.

Author: Fausto Corvino Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing ISBN: 183910256X Category : Political Science Languages : en Pages : 192
Book Description
This thought-provoking book analyses the process of labour commodification, through which the individual’s ability to earn a basic living becomes dependent on the conditions of the market relationship. Building on the premise that the separation of a group of individuals from the means of production is an intrinsic element of capitalism, Fausto Corvino theorises that this implies a form of domination in a neo-republican sense.

Book Description
Insurance Agency Optimization was written by a multi-line insurance agency owner, for multi-line insurance agency owners. It was written to help agency owners understand that they are not alone. The reality is almost nobody who owns an insurance agency ever planned on owning an insurance agency. Once upon a time I was a highly successful salesperson, or sales manager, or corporate executive or somebody special in some other field. Then, I got sick of working for somebody else and I thought it would be awesome to own my own business, create my own schedule, make tons of money, travel the world and golf a lot. So I opened my own insurance agency. The problem is insurance agency owners who jumped into this industry during the 21st century have a much different looking opportunity than those who came before them. It's still a tremendous opportunity, but the rewards aren't realized until several years of dues are paid. This book was written to save agency owners time and money as an alternative to present day trainings and seminars which offer quick fixes, silver bullets and shortcuts to success; none of which exist. Insurance Agency Optimization uses simple, easy to understand mindsets, systems and processes which have worked in all sales industries since the beginning of time. This book focuses on the common denominators all successful agencies share. Readers will learn to consistently focus on daily disciplines which increase levels of health, happiness and overall productivity. You'll be given the essential mindset required to win each moment so you can win every day. And it will provide you and your teams with the tools required to dominate your market and ultimately work so efficiently your competition cannot even be compared to you. The insurance business is simple, but it's certainly not easy. You recruit, hire, train, educate and continuously motivate highly productive team members. You get to know your prospects by having conversations which uncover needs and then you offer the best possible solutions to satisfy those needs. Sounds simple, but again...it's not easy. This book was written and The Positive Impact Club was developed to make your life as the proud owner of a multi-line insurance agency much easier and will put you and your team on the right path to: Recognize and optimize every customer opportunity within every interaction each and every day Stand above and ultimately eliminate your competition Create a winning office culture with personal and team accountability Plan, prepare, track and ultimately WIN every day Implement a simple, repeatable sales processes to uncover multiple customer needs within one relaxed conversation EARN more referrals, ELIMINATE wasted marketing dollars and RETAIN more customers than ever before Become the happiest, healthiest and most productive version of yourself Perhaps you didn't fully understand what you were jumping into when you opened your insurance agency. And chances are you often times feel overwhelmed, confused or frustrated. The good news is you are not alone. The better news is there are proven ways to improve your results spelled out in this book. The best news is, this book will show you how to close the "knowledge/action gap." It's great to know things, but without action knowledge is useless. Insurance Agency Optimization will challenge you to take one, two or three key components that best suit your agency and implement them immediately. The strategies shared in this book are proven to work and grow your business regardless of where you are today. After reading Insurance Agency Optimizationand joining The Positive Impact Club the only regret you'll have is that you didn't know all of this sooner!

Book Description
Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation is generally acclaimed as being among the most influential works of economic history in the twentieth century, and remains as vital in the current historical conjuncture as it was in his own. In its critique of nineteenth-century ‘market fundamentalism’ it reads as a warning to our own neoliberal age, and is widely touted as a prophetic guidebook for those who aspire to understand the causes and dynamics of global economic turbulence at the end of the 2000s. Karl Polanyi: The Limits of the Market is the first comprehensive introduction to Polanyi’s ideas and legacy. It assesses not only the texts for which he is famous – prepared during his spells in American academia – but also his journalistic articles written in his first exile in Vienna, and lectures and pamphlets from his second exile, in Britain. It provides a detailed critical analysis of The Great Transformation, but also surveys Polanyi’s seminal writings in economic anthropology, the economic history of ancient and archaic societies, and political and economic theory. Its primary source base includes interviews with Polanyi’s daughter, Kari Polanyi-Levitt, as well as the entire compass of his own published and unpublished writings in English and German. This engaging and accessible introduction to Polanyi’s thinking will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences, providing a refreshing perspective on the roots of our current economic crisis.
