Download or read book The Next Antitrust Agenda written by American Antitrust Institute and published by Vandeplas Pub.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Antitrust Institute (AAI) was founded in 1998 as an independent, nonprofit education, research, and advocacy organization. Celebrating its tenth anniversary during the important 2008 presidential campaign, the AAI determined to utilize this year to generate an integrated vision for re-energizing competition policy in the United States. Ours is a vision that departs in substantial ways from the outlook that has driven competition policy for much of the past generation. We offer it to the next administration without presupposition as to which party will control Congress or who the President will be. Traditionally, the ideal of competition as the preferred regulator of business behavior has enjoyed bipartisan support, beginning with the introduction of the Sherman Act in 1890 by a Republican and its signing into law by a Republican. But interpretations of what constitutes healthy competition and priorities for enforcement have varied over time, sometimes dramatically. Indeed, there have been periods of war or depression when the ideal of competition has been eclipsed by other priorities and policies. Yet, time and again, the ideal has been rejuvenated - by both Republicans and Democrats. We argue that we should now be entering a period of reinterpretation and rejuvenation. This Report is the edited product of a set of committees formed in the fall of 2007. The committee chairs and participants are all members of the AAI's Advisory Board. The Report consists of ten chapters and an introduction to competition policy and the philosophy behind the Report. The first set of chapters examines substantive areas of antitrust law and economics, including cartel enforcement, monopolization, merger policy, and a relative newcomer to antitrust discourse, buyer power. The following chapters then offer prescriptions for building the institutions of public enforcement and restoring the legitimacy of private enforcement. Finally, the report concludes with four chapters devoted to several of the key economic sectors in which competition policy issues are currently important: media, food, health, and energy. Together, these sectors account for more than one-third of the national economy.

Download or read book Strategic Marketing Management Theory and Practice written by Alexander Chernev and published by Cerebellum Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Marketing Management: Theory and Practice offers a systematic overview of the fundamentals of marketing theory, defines the key principles of marketing management, and presents a value-based framework for developing viable market offerings. The theory presented stems from the view of marketing as a value-creation process that is central to any business enterprise. The discussion of marketing theory is complemented by a set of practical tools that enable managers to apply the knowledge contained in the generalized frameworks to specific business problems and market opportunities. The information on marketing theory and practice contained in this book is organized into eight major parts. The first part defines the essence of marketing as a business discipline and outlines an overarching framework for marketing management that serves as the organizing principle for the information presented in the rest of the book. Specifically, we discuss the role of marketing management as a value-creation process, the essentials of marketing strategy and tactics as the key components of a company’s business model, and the process of developing an actionable marketing plan. Part Two focuses on understanding the market in which a company operates. Specifically, we examine how consumers make choices and outline the main steps in the customer decision journey that lead to the purchase of a company’s offerings. We further discuss the ways in which companies conduct market research to gather market insights in order to make informed decisions and develop viable courses of action. Part Three covers issues pertaining to the development of a marketing strategy that will guide the company’s tactical activities. Here we focus on three fundamental aspects of a company’s marketing strategy: the identification of target customers, the development of a customer value proposition, and the development of a value proposition for the company and its collaborators. The discussion of the strategic aspects of marketing management includes an in-depth analysis of the key principles of creating market value in a competitive context. The next three parts of the book focus on the marketing tactics, viewed as a process of designing, communicating, and delivering value. Part Four describes how companies design their offerings and, specifically, how they develop key aspects of their products, services, brands, prices, and incentives. In Part Five, we address the ways in which companies manage their marketing communication and the role of personal selling as a means of persuading customers to choose, purchase, and use a company’s offerings. Part Six explores the role of distribution channels in delivering the company’s offerings to target customers by examining the value-delivery process both from a manufacturer’s and a retailer’s point of view. The seventh part of the book focuses on the ways in which companies manage growth. Specifically, we discuss strategies used by companies to gain and defend market position and, in this context, address the issues of pioneering advantage, managing sales growth, and managing product lines. We further address the process of developing new market offerings and the ways in which companies manage the relationship with their customers. The final part of this book presents a set of tools that illustrate the practical application of marketing theory. Specifically, Part Eight delineates two workbooks: a workbook for segmenting the market and identifying target customers and a workbook for developing the strategic and tactical components of a company’s business model. This part also contains examples of two marketing plans—one dealing with the launch of a new offering and the other focused on managing an existing offering.

Download or read book Accounting for Hunger written by Olivier De Schutter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge of global hunger is now high on the agenda of governments and international policy-makers. This new work contributes to addressing that challenge, by looking at the obstacles which stand in the way of implementing a right to food in the era of globalisation. The book describes the current situation of global hunger; it considers how it relates both to the development of food systems and to the merger of the food and energy markets; and it explains how the right to food contributes to identifying solutions at the domestic and international levels. The right to food, it argues, can only be realised if governance improves at the domestic level, and if the international environment enables governments to adopt appropriate policies, for which they require a certain policy space. The essays in this book demonstrate that the current regimes of trade, investment and food aid, as well as the development of biofuels production – all of which contribute to define the international context in which states implement such reforms – should be reshaped if national efforts are to be successful. The implication is that extraterritorial human rights obligations of states (their obligations to respect the right to food beyond their national territories, for instance in their food aid, investment or trade policies), as well as the strengthening of global governance of food security (as is currently being attempted with the reform of the Committee on World Food Security in Rome), have a key role to fulfill: domestic reforms will not achieve sustainable results unless the international environment is more enabling of the efforts of governments acting individually. In this reform process, accountability both at the domestic and international level is essential if sustainable progress is to be achieved in combating global hunger.

This book was released on 2022-06-17 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Openness towards strengthening backwards linkages and local sourcing is a key factors in retailer product development and offerings in order to meet the new challenges in the next normal. The COVID-19 crisis has underlined the shortcomings of the current system, and has also intensified the demand for shorter supply chains, traceability, transparency and food that is sustainably sourced. This document is intended to support Montenegrin retailers to engage in local sourcing, which can also strengthen their contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, support country commitments to the Paris Agreement, and prepare for the challenges and opportunities of modern food retail. Retailers also need to be ready for change, especially in view of the country’s pending accession to the European Union (EU), and increasing demands for corporate governance. The guide provides an overview of the policy directions, consumer trends, local context and influencing factors that will shape the engagement of Montenegrin retailers with local suppliers. It also highlights good international practices, as well as the priorities and actions for Montenegrin retailers to consider when planning their development and market strategies.
