The Right Way
Author: Amit Vaidya
Publisher: Grosvenor House Publishing
ISBN: 1803817836
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
The most popular go-to-market models for international expansion and scaleup involve working with and through distributor partners in different go-to-market models. Such markets are often described as 'partnership' or 'distributor' markets and are prevalent in emerging markets. Such markets offer good opportunities for growth and expansion. The challenge for many companies operating internationally through distributors can be summarised as: "How to deliver and achieve a scalable critical mass within five years". Success and scalability have eluded many seniors operating in distributor markets. The typical results experienced by so many company seniors often result in clusters of small value businesses that barely grow or make any impression on the numbers presented and agreed in the investment case. Such numbers are defined as "the critical mass" to be achieved. In short, many executives fail to deliver their agreed numbers over successive years. Anyone can be forgiven once for missing their numbers. But it becomes a habit when they fail to deliver their numbers over several years. In short, they could not find "the right way" to succeed. This book explains why so many executives failed so often and how to find "the right way" to succeed in international expansion and scale-ups. Amit Vaidya proposes that success is down to three key factors: 1. The design of the Go-to-Market Model. 2. Finding and selecting the best-fit distributor partner in that model. 3. Having the right talent to deliver the critical mass in international scale-up. He explains in detail: - The importance of both a quantitative and a qualitative assessment in selecting international markets for scaleup. - The different models available for international scaleup and their pros and cons including legal affiliates and local manufacturing options. - Why some models and people can deliver critical mass and others can't. - The distributor models that have the best chance to deliver a critical mass and why. - How to find good distributor partners. - The difference between wholesalers, distributors and distribution service providers and their ability to deliver a critical mass. - The key situations that should trigger a review of your distributor relationship. - How to find and pick good international business managers to lead the international scale-up. The content is entirely based on his experience and real life, not textbook theories. This makes the book rather unique in its offering and content. With this practical guide to designing the best international go-to-market models through distributors, readers will learn how to avoid the mistakes made so often by so many and will discover "the right way" to succeed.

Bigfoot
Author: Paul Glover
Publisher: Grosvenor House Publishing
ISBN: 180381487X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The mystery of Bigfoot has endured for generations, folklore has touched on this through the centuries and yet we have not come any closer to recognising this phenomenon as a reality. How can this be when countless numbers of people have witnessed these incredible beings? Even in the United Kingdom there have been many reports, including modern day encounters. Are all these witnesses mad or is there some truth behind this myth? The Green Man adorns many Medieval Churches and Cathedrals dotted around the British countryside.... but what do they all mean? This whole mystery has stretched through hundreds of years, and across different continents, so isn't it about time that we can get some answers? A 10 year journey has culminated in some explosive revelations that will throw some light upon this enduring mystery. For example: what has William Shakespeare got to do with Bigfoot? And did Charles Dickens even carry on with this storyline? And one of the most iconic fictional characters celebrated around the world will come under the spotlight and their true origins will be revealed. But is this a fictional character or one based upon a folklore reality? And does that historical reality live on into the modern world? Thought provoking statements will be made that will get you thinking about the things that you accepted since childhood. Will Christmas ever feel the same again after reading this book? Is Bigfoot just a Fairy Tale or is there a magical world out there that we are only just starting to explore? Fairy Tale or a Tale that has links to historical references to Fairies? You be the judge, but as they say, seeing is believing and that is exactly what this book will offer some the chance of doing. Your own journey into the Bigfoot World starts right here....

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Josée's story has put the reality of life out there. "You wake up in the morning with a normal life, and in the afternoon, gunshots make you leave everything you had behind" Said Josée. Her story tells how you can still fight for your rights even at a younger age. When she was a teenager, she was trapped in the war Zones in three different East African countries (Burundi civil war 1993, Rwandan Genocide 1994 and Congo DRC civil war 1996). "I was born refugee and always found myself in the same position in every country that I have lived in, until the age 29" She said. She was used to running away because of war and became so traumatised to believe that she could settle or feel comfortable living in a new country without being worried that anytime things might turn around the wrong way. She always thought that war might break down and make her leave again. In her story of being a Survivor Champion, she also opens up about her experiences of domestic violence, living an emotionally abusive life and many more tragedies that will be found in the pages of this book. Josée's story shows that you can always be adventurous and try to move to other places for a better life. She says: "The best decision I have ever made in life, was moving to other places (countries, cities) for a better life. You don't have to settle for a painful life"
