    Paperback. Condition: Good. Is your start-up feeling stuck in the starting blocks? Or are you finding it a struggle to pick up speed?Written by acclaimed entrepreneur, instructor, and author Dr. Allan Colman, The Revenue Accelerator: The 21 Boosters to Launch Your Start-Up is the true companion guide for new and intermediate entrepreneurs to prosper through their early stages of development.Dr. Colman equips listeners to easily navigate around the most pervasive problems start-up entrepreneurs experience when making the leap from building their product or service to selling it. Far too often, startups invest so much of their hard-earned energy and capital into developing their offering that they are left with scarce resources to architect a successful plan for financing, marketing, and selling it.The Revenue Accelerator provides a engine check on statistics that directly impact startups and the landscape that they now face.The average early survival rate for startups is only 20%, between 2012 - 2020.*There is currently an 80% failure rate for startups.The Great Resignation of 2021 saw 4,500,000 people resigning from their jobs.2021 also saw 550,000 education professionals retire, citing burnout.With such a mass-exodus from the workforce, it is inevitable that the world is about to see an enormous increase in new entrepreneurs. Many of these aspirational entrepreneurs are destined for a rocky road of high risk and unproven outcomes, without being effectively informed as to what lies beyond the horizon.Whether you're a brand new entrepreneur or a startup that's going through growing pains, the 21 Accelerators will guide listeners through three vital sections; supplying real world lessons that enable lasting change for startups: Listeners will be guided through two contemporary case studies of ongoing startups, observing many of the Accelerator tools in action.Ample interviews and quotes from more than 2 dozen startup entrepreneurs, numerous executives, business leaders, and marketing directors. Many of which have been converted to cartoons for easy understanding and retention via comedic value.The Accelerator Checklists at the end of each accelerator chapter, designed to enhance retention and immediate application of lessons to a listener's advantage.Whether your startup is stuck in 1st gear or having engine troubles, Dr. Colman will light up the path toward acceleration. The Revenue Accelerator will equip your startup to hit mach speeds in record time.* Source 2020 National Report on Early-Stage Entrepreneurship in the United States.…

    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Food, water and society: what is managed by whom, and with what impacts?Our food supply chains are at risk. Water resources--sometimes scarce, often damaged, and always under-valued--are among the major reasons why food and water security rank high every year in the World Economic Forum's major global risk analysis. A stable and sustainable food system is critical to society's survival. This Handbook shows that keeping the food system stablecomes at the expense of the environment, especially of water resources and those who consume and manage them.The way the food system operates reflects hard political realities.Rather than pay for the environmental costs of sustainable production, society expects food at ever lower prices. Governments reflect their electorates in this regard. Given that farm production may account for as little as 10% of the food value chain in wealthy economies, it is striking that governments have been unwilling (or unable) to put in place the essential laws and accountability that would enable famers to ensure both production and stewardship. Corporate food traders, foodmanufacturers, and retailers on the other hand operate in markets that make profits and pay taxes. But these corporations are not contractually bound to utilize highly nutritious, sustainably produced foodcommodities.The articles in this Oxford Handbook have been written by water and food system scientists and professionals, including farmers, rarely heard voices who understand the problems of food producers, food manufacturers, and regulating markets and public policy. The articles address the blind spots of society and its public policymakers, demonstrating the importance of informing society about the consequences of its food preferences and the heroic challenges it isbeginning to face. The damage we are doing to our water and soil ecosystems is as important as the damage we do to the atmosphere. Impressed by the technical and organizational advances of the past twocenturies, the contributors featured in this book also take note of where economic inefficiencies and cultural deadlock in a 4,000 year old system are putting our critical food supply chains at risk.

    Hardback. Condition: New. Food, water and society: what is managed by whom, and with what impacts? Our food supply chains are at risk. Water resources--sometimes scarce, often damaged, and always under-valued--are among the major reasons why food and water security rank high every year in the World Economic Forum's major global risk analysis. A stable and sustainable food system is critical to society's survival. This Handbook shows that keeping the food system stable comes at the expense of the environment, especially of water resources and those who consume and manage them. The way the food system operates reflects hard political realities. Rather than pay for the environmental costs of sustainable production, society expects food at ever lower prices. Governments reflect their electorates in this regard. Given that farm production may account for as little as 10% of the food value chain in wealthy economies, it is striking that governments have been unwilling (or unable) to put in place the essential laws and accountability that would enable famers to ensure both production and stewardship. Corporate food traders, food manufacturers, and retailers on the other hand operate in markets that make profits and pay taxes. But these corporations are not contractually bound to utilize highly nutritious, sustainably produced food commodities. The articles in this Oxford Handbook have been written by water and food system scientists and professionals, including farmers, rarely heard voices who understand the problems of food producers, food manufacturers, and regulating markets and public policy. The articles address the blind spots of society and its public policymakers, demonstrating the importance of informing society about the consequences of its food preferences and the heroic challenges it is beginning to face. The damage we are doing to our water and soil ecosystems is as important as the damage we do to the atmosphere. Impressed by the technical and organizational advances of the past two centuries, the contributors featured in this book also take note of where economic inefficiencies and cultural deadlock in a 4,000 year old system are putting our critical food supply chains at risk.…
