Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Charm Buyers describes extraordinary beauty and turbulent change: Tahiti during the last years of French nuclear testing in the Pacific in the 1990s. Marc Antoine Chen, the troubled heir of black pearl cultivators, narrates his journey through a labyrinth of elusive truths. As a child, Marc lives in a dreamlike world with his great-grandmother A-tai and her stories of a semi-nomadic Hakka culture that no longer exists. The Hakka, originally brought from China to Tahiti to work in cotton in the nineteenth century, settled in communities throughout the South Pacific. On the verge of adulthood, Marc falls in love with the calm and confident Marie-Laure Li, but when she leaves to study in France, Marc drifts, becoming the lover of the enigmatic painter Aurore du Chatelet. Years later, Marie-Laure returns, suffering from a debilitating malady—one of many illnesses surfacing in the wake of nuclear testing—and Marc is offered a strange, magical proposal in exchange for the life of his once beloved. A supernatural, shamanic reality exists together with the traditions of the Hakka, set against the background of the French colonial past and the Ma‘ohi struggle for independence. The Charm Buyers presents a world in transition and its people—black pearl cultivators, artists, taro farmers, politicians, smugglers, and shamans.

Book excerpt: This accessible, smart, and expansive book on shopping's impact on American life is in part historical, stretching back to the mid-19th century, yet also has a contemporary focus, with material on recent trends in shopping from the internet to Zagat's guides. Drawing inspiration from both Pierre Bourdieu's work and Walter Benjamin's seminal essay on the shopping arcades of 19th-century Paris, Zukin explores the forces that have made shopping so central to our lives: the rise of consumer culture, the never-ending quest for better value, and shopping's ability to help us improve our social status and attain new social identities.

Download or read book Priced to Influence Sell Satisfy Lessons from Behavioral Economics for Pricing Success written by Utpal Dholakia and published by Utpal Dholakia. This book was released on 2019-06-23 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pricing holds the key to business success. The greatest challenge in pricing is the human factor. To price effectively, customer psychology usually trumps rational microeconomic thinking. * How did Subway turn one accidentally discovered price promotion into a multi-billion dollar success story? * How much knowledge of prices do customers really have? * Why do most people spend two months’ salary to buy an engagement ring? * Does Pay What You Want pricing really work? * How can you get your customers to trade up? * Why do Supreme t-shirts sell for $1,500 or more? * Why do so many consumers hate Uber’s surge pricing even though economists love it? In Priced to Influence, Sell & Satisfy, you will find answers to these and many more questions. The book introduces the latest thinking about Psychological Pricing, the science of designing effective pricing strategies using behavioral economics principles. You will learn how customers search for, evaluate, share, and use prices in their buying decisions, how they participate in setting prices, and what managers can do to understand and influence these processes. Psychological pricing actions are levered. Many of them require relatively small investments and produce disproportionately large returns to the business.
