  • The Grocersby Andrew Seth; Geoffrey Randall

    Kogan Page 1999; US$ 19.75

    With Wal-Mart on the rampage, and the US food retailing industry consolidating rapidly, there are lessons to be learned from Europe. The great Philip Kotler agrees. He wrote of the book: 'I highly recpmmend this book to US readers interested in future trends in the supermarket industry. The industry is much more consolidated in Europe and our industry is relentlessly moving in the same direction. The stories will provide much inspiration for meeting and mounting the challenges ahead.' The Grocers gives a history of food retailing in the UK, and looks at the rest of Europe and the USA for comparison.

    The ancient Oriental dyestuff madder red was avidly sought by Europeans and finally cracked by the French in 1760, and it became the main crop in the Caspian Caucasus.

  • The Economic Dynamics of Modern Biotechnologyby M. McKelvey; A. Rickne; J. Laage-Hellman

    Edward Elgar Publishing 2004; US$ 40.00

    This book is a highly ambitious work, the joint product of 25 co-authors. It represents an attempt to examine modern biotechnology as an economic process and, in so doing, it draws heavily - and successfully - upon the conceptual framework of evolutionary economics and the literature on industrial management. The empirical focus is on the present-day European scene, and it is a great virtue of the book that it unpacks and illuminates the diversity that characterizes that scene today. The wide coverage, along with the differing perspectives of individual authors, provides the reader with an invaluable platform for future research upon an industry that seems clearly destined to serve as an engine of economic growth in the new century. more...
