The traditional book publishing business has been slow to respond to changes within the industry. The growing popularity of ebooks and digital self-publishing are threatening their business. For years, the major book publishers have effectively outsourced their innovation to companies like Amazon and Apple. In order to remain competitive, they must revisit their business model to create a lower-cost lower-overhead model that focuses on simplicity, convenience, and accessibility. This paper reviews how the technology behind ebooks has evolved since the 1970s and makes several recommendations as to how book publishers can respond to this disruptive innovation.]]>

Organizational culture has a powerful effect on the performance and the long-term effectiveness of organizations. Organizational culture has the power to influence employee behaviors and increase employee commitment and productivity. Therefore, a clear understanding of organizational culture and how to effect its change is important for business leaders because it influences the way that organizations react to the changing demands of the business environment. The goal of this paper is to explore what is meant by organizational culture, why it is important, and how to change an established culture so that it is better aligned with the organization’s strategy.]]>

The American culture of individualism, self-reliance, and independence celebrates the legend of the lone entrepreneur. However, for many years, research has shown that team-founded ventures achieve better performance than those founded by individuals. This paper reviews why entrepreneurs form teams, and the process of securing the various types of capital required, to increase the probability of success. A particular focus is placed on social capital and how when complimented with social competence, it can be leveraged to secure financing and build a highly effective, high-performance team.]]>

Studies within the field of Behavioural Finance have shown that due to human bias, market participants do not always act rationally. This creates opportunities in the market for traders to profit from the inefficiencies created by these biases. However, Behavioural Finance also shows that these same biases cause traders to act in ways that could have negative impacts on their personal trading results. The perception of fund managers does change when they have been trained on Behavioural Finance (Nikiforow, 2010). Training sharpens the awareness of loss aversion and limits the affinity for conformity. Nikiforow suggests that what is needed is to incorporate these approaches into the investment process (Nikiforow, 2010). This paper reviews some of the common behavioural biases and how they can impact trading. It then covers the general content and structure of a trading plan and recommends areas where traders can incorporate behavioural bias awareness into their plans using rules and checkpoints.]]>
