Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating a retail store goes beyond simply hoping a customer walks through your door. Billions of money is the retail industry is made outside of "hopes." Money is made by being deliberate, not wishful. With the increase in competition and fickle customer demand, beauty supply owners must have a much clearer understanding of how the supply chain works. One beauty supply can easily generate hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. It is one of the greatest ways to establish wealth, even without formal education. However, the knowledge of retail operations is imperative if an owner expects to last for years, open additional locations, or hand the business over to a younger generation. Understanding retail means you understand profit margins and selecting the appropriate pricing objective for your market while being able to sustain unexpected expenses yet still produce profits. It means you understand that it takes commitment, and that a distributor is not someone who house their inventory in a van that solicits and delivers products. It means you understand that a successful retail operation isn't simply placing items on a shelf with an orange price tag on it. It means more "understanding" if you expect to make the most money at retailing. It is not simple, yet not complicated. This book is written by beauty retailing expert, retail management professor, and 3-time beauty store owner. This book offers straight and relevant information that is free from generalization and ambiguity. It is easy to understand with direct and up to date information that can be applied by any aspiring store owner located anywhere.

Download or read book Transfer Pricing and Corporate Taxation written by Elizabeth King and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-11 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National tax authorities individually determine multinational ?rms’ country-speci?c tax liabilities by applying one or more sanctioned transfer pricing methodologies. These methodologies are founded on basic assumptions about market structure and ?rm behavior that are rarely empirically valid. Moreover, for the most part, the transfer pricing methodologies now in vogue were developed before the Internet became a dominant factor in the world economy, and hedge and private equity funds transformed ?nancial and commodities markets. For these reasons, multinational ?rms are unable to accurately anticipate their tax liabilities in individual countries, and remain at risk of double taxation. Uncertainties in corporate tax liability are extremely costly, both for individual corporations and from an economy-wide perspective. Firms pay exorbitant fees to have tax attorneys, accountants and economists prepare the documentation required by tax authorities to substantiate their intercompany pricing practices and defend their tax positions on audit. Corporate tax liabilities are also potentially much higher than they would be under a more transparent and predictable transfer pricing regime (due to the potential for double taxation and penalties), and investors’ returns are reduced accordingly. The FASB’s Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (released on July 13, 2006), has motivated multinational ?rms to increase their reserves substantially (in many cases at the insistence of their au- tors), reducing the total funds available for productive investment. 1 The current transfer pricing regimes are embodied in the OECD Guidelines, individual OECD member countries’ interpretations thereof, the U. S.

Download or read book Ethnic Solidarity for Economic Survival written by Pyong Gap Min and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2008-04-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations of immigrants have relied on small family businesses in their pursuit of the American dream. This entrepreneurial tradition remains highly visible among Korean immigrants in New York City, who have carved out a thriving business niche for themselves operating many of the city's small grocery stores and produce markets. But this success has come at a price, leading to dramatic, highly publicized conflicts between Koreans and other ethnic groups. In Ethnic Solidarity for Economic Survival, Pyong Gap Min takes Korean produce retailers as a case study to explore how involvement in ethnic businesses—especially where it collides with the economic interests of other ethnic groups—powerfully shapes the social, cultural, and economic unity of immigrant groups. Korean produce merchants, caught between white distributors, black customers, Hispanic employees, and assertive labor unions, provide a unique opportunity to study the formation of group solidarity in the face of inter-group conflicts. Ethnic Solidarity for Economic Survival draws on census and survey data, interviews with community leaders and merchants, and a review of ethnic newspaper articles to trace the growth and evolution of Korean collective action in response to challenges produce merchants received from both white suppliers and black customers. When Korean produce merchants first attempted to gain a foothold in the city's economy, they encountered pervasive discrimination from white wholesale suppliers at Hunts Point Market in the Bronx. In response, Korean merchants formed the Korean Produce Association (KPA), a business organization that gradually evolved into a powerful engine for promoting Korean interests. The KPA used boycotts, pickets, and group purchasing to effect enduring improvements in supplier-merchant relations. Pyong Gap Min returns to the racially charged events surrounding black boycotts of Korean stores in the 1990s, which were fueled by frustration among African Americans at a perceived economic invasion of their neighborhoods. The Korean community responded with rallies, political negotiations, and publicity campaigns of their own. The disappearance of such disputes in recent years has been accompanied by a corresponding reduction in Korean collective action, suggesting that ethnic unity is not inevitable but rather emerges, often as a form of self-defense, under certain contentious conditions. Solidarity, Min argues, is situational. This important new book charts a novel course in immigrant research by demonstrating how business conflicts can give rise to demonstrations of group solidarity. Ethnic Solidarity for Economic Survival is at once a sophisticated empirical analysis and a riveting collection of stories—about immigration, race, work, and the American dream.
