The International wine trade

by Pierre Spahni (1995)

About this book

This book is the first to deal with international wine trade. It looks for simple clues to the patterns of world trade flows since 1970 by stripping the subject to the bare economic factors underpinning it. Examination of medium term trends enables readers to get a better perspective on the critical issue of trade liberalisation. Insight is given into twelve major importing countries representing more than 85% of world trade. With a view to facilitating comparison between countries, the book offers a systematic coverage of their consumption patterns (for wine and other alcoholic drinks), wine import trends, trade policies and configuration of their import/distribution channels. The level of competitiveness of each market is gauged and the positioning of the main strategic groups of exporters is also examined. A must for wine exporters large and small, it should also prove a key reference for policy makers and finance people alike.

Kim Fellner

"Say "Starbucks" and people start talking. From Paris, France, to Paris, Texas, Tampa to Tokyo, perfect strangers will gladly debate the merits of Starbucks coffee and the meaning of Starbucks in modem life. In Wrestling with Starbucks, an investigation into Starbucks' ethos and actions, social justice activist Kim Fellner asks how a coffeehouse chain with a liberal reputation came to symbolize, for some, the ills of globalization Fellner takes readers on an expedition into the muscle and soul of the coffee company. She finds a corporation filled with contradictions: between employee-friendly processes and anti-union practices; between an internationalist vision and a longing for global dominance; between community individuality and cultural conformity."--Jacket.

Crossing the Chasm

Geoffrey A. Moore

Crossing the Chasm (1991; rev. 1999) demonstrates the existence of distinct marketing challenges for each market segment in the life cycle of new technology-based products. A significant gulf -- the "chasm" -- exists between the market made up of early adopters and the markets of more pragmatic buyers. To cross the chasm, a product team must identify the needs of pragmatic buyers and deliver a "whole product" that more than meets those needs. This landmark book, part of the HarperBusiness Essentials series, shows just how to do that.
