Title: Competition and Antitrust Law: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Ariel Ezrachi

Narrator: Mike Lenz

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 14 minutes

Release date: January 25, 2022

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

Competition is responsible for much of the prosperity around us. Competitive markets deliver lower prices, better quality, abundance of choice, and increased innovation. But while competition benefits the consumers, it can prove challenging to producers and sellers, who need to constantly improve to stay in business. As a result, sellers may sometimes look for ways to dampen the competitive process. Our antitrust and competition laws are designed to address these risks and safeguard consumer welfare. The competition enforcers have the task of unravelling price-fixing cartels, challenging powerful companies that abuse their power, and monitoring proposed merger transactions that could undermine effective competition. In doing so, competition enforcers have to carefully consider the level of intervention and ensure they do not distort the natural dynamics of competition. Drawing on case studies from the US and the European Union, this Very Short Introduction explores the promise and limitations of competitive market dynamics. In examining the laws and the way they are enforced, Ariel Ezrachi considers the delicate relationship between a free market economy and government intervention, and the fascinating forces of competition that shape modern society.

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

What does a sales professional do when the customer says, 'Not yet'? Companies have invested thousands and even millions of dollars in CRM technology over the past decade, but frontline salespeople and sales executives alike are still groping for solutions. The problem of drift—a common phenomenon in which a prospect simply forgets about the product offering and goes dark—is persistent and rampant. Technology doesn't change behavior on its own. Behavior is changed by adopting better habits. The fact is, forty-four percent of salespeople give up after one follow-up attempt. That sad reality presents a genuine opportunity. In Follow Up and Close the Sale, Jeff Shore offers research-based insights into the customer's buying journey to teach sales professionals how to: create and maintain Emotional Altitude for the customer; leverage speed as an advantage; personalize follow-up to fulfill customer needs and provide value; overcome the mental barriers that make follow-up a difficult task; select the right follow-up method; stay in touch without annoying the prospect; and 'wake up' tired leads.

Title: Sea State: A Memoir

Author: Tabitha Lasley

Narrator: Billie Fulford-Brown

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 27 minutes

Release date: December 7, 2021

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

A Recommended Read from: Vogue * USA Today * The Los Angeles Times * Publishers Weekly * The Week * Alma * Lit Hub A stunning and brutally honest memoir that shines a light on what happens when female desire conflicts with a culture of masculinity in crisis In her midthirties and newly free from a terrible relationship, Tabitha Lasley quit her job at a London magazine, packed her bags, and poured her savings into a six-month lease on an apartment in Aberdeen, Scotland. She decided to make good on a long-deferred idea for a book about oil rigs and the men who work on them. Why oil rigs? She wanted to see what men were like with no women around. In Aberdeen, Tabitha became deeply entrenched in the world of roughnecks, a teeming subculture rich with brawls, hard labor, and competition. The longer she stayed, the more she found her presence had a destabilizing effect on the men—and her. Sea State is on the one hand a portrait of an overlooked industry: “offshore” is a way of life for generations of primarily working-class men and also a potent metaphor for those parts of life we keep at bay—class, masculinity, the transactions of desire, and the awful slipperiness of a ladder that could, if we tried hard enough, lead us to security. Sea State is on the other hand the story of a journalist whose professional distance from her subject becomes perilously thin. In Aberdeen, Tabitha gets high and dances with abandon, reliving her youth, when the music was good and the boys were bad. Twenty years on, there is Caden: a married rig worker who spends three weeks on and three weeks off. Alone and in an increasingly precarious state, Tabitha dives into their growing attraction. The relationship, reckless and explosive, will lay them both bare.

Publisher's Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin. A transformative guide to growing any business, from one of Silicon Valley's most esteemed investors Why do some products take off? And what can we learn from them? The hardest part of launching a product is getting started. When you have just an idea and a handful of customers, growth can feel impossible. This is the cold start problem. Andrew Chen has a solution. As a partner at the pre-eminent VC firm Andreesen Horowitz, he has invested in some of the world's fastest-growing companies. Along the way, he's become one of the most renowned bloggers in tech - hailed by Wired as a 'true Silicon Valley insider'. Now, Chen reveals how any organisation can surmount the cold start problem. His solution lies in the network effect: the way a service improves as more people sign up. It means that today's leading products - from Wikipedia to to WhatsApp - get more powerful with every additional user. Drawing on interviews with the founders of LinkedIn, Zoom, Uber, Dropbox, Tinder, Airbnb and more, Chen unpicks how to start and scale these network effects. He reveals how to build an 'atomic network' that is just big enough to sustain itself. He uncovers how to spot the tipping point after which growth takes care of itself. And he explores why some big companies manage to sustain viral network effects for years (while others quickly stop growing). The result is a one-stop guide to scaling a product, road-tested at some of the world's most valuable companies. Praise for Andrew Chen 'A true Silicon Valley insider' Wired 'Andrew's blog is an inexhaustible source of numbers and ideas on concepts that matter' Max Levchin, co-founder of PayPal 'Here's one message you want. Chen's weekly newsletter offers thoughtful essays on startups and marketing' Wired 'One of the best entrepreneurship blogs of all time' Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup © Andrew Chen 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
