In recent years, there has been intensive development of the Polish
civil aviation sector, especially regional airports. Effective
growth requires a diagnosis of their competitiveness in today's
turbulent passenger transport market. The book compares regional
airports in Poland with competitive European ports. It uses
econometric analysis to model regional airport competitiveness,
which is applicable to practical management of modern airports. The
book also analyzes possible directions of the growth of Polish
airports, taking into account the current economic and political
situation as well as forecasts for passenger transport sector
development.
You've heard again and again that getting rich means working hard
and being willing to put in long hours, often at the expense of
everything else in your life. The 6-Minute Work Day is here to
dispel that myth-and show you how to grow your income without
wasting all your time and energy on work. So many financial gurus,
business books, and corporate training seminars teach you to
hustle, grind, work harder, start work early, and stay late to be
able to move forward in your career-or even just make ends meet.
But then you get that promotion or pay off that debt and the hustle
starts again. And again. And again. The truth is, you don't need to
put in more hours to make more money. In fact, you should put in
less-specifically, six minutes. Douglas Vermeeren, an award-winning
entrepreneur trainer, has distilled his proven advice into this
book to help you cast off your workday, optimize your time and
freedom, and dramatically increase your income. In The 6-Minute
Work Day, Vermeeren breaks down: Why we go to work-and why we don't
need to do that to accomplish our goals What we can really do in
six minutes How we can create and maintain a six-minute workday How
we can expand on the income streams that our six minutes have
generated to gain even more wealth If you want to ditch the daily
grind and spend your time living instead of working while still
making money, The 6-Minute Work Day is the straightforward,
actionable guide you need.
This book investigates the crucial EU policy of competition, which
is enforced by the Commission and by national agencies that enjoy
various degrees of autonomy from their governments. More and more
policy-making activities are nowadays delegated to agencies that
cannot be held accountable to parliaments, and ultimately to
voters. The author explains why this is the case in the field of EU
competition policy and discusses whether independence is linked to
improved enforcement - as theories of delegation and common wisdom
would suggest. These questions are explored with an in-depth
analysis covering 27 EU countries for 17 years (1993-2009). While
the results show that independence is given when countries lack
credibility and good reputation, they also point out that autonomy
from governments can hardly be associated with improved regulatory
output. So, is independence of competition authorities useful to
society in the end? This book will appeal to upper-level students
and scholars interested in competition policy, regulatory agencies,
and European public policy.
Business models are regarded as a main emerging topic in the
management area for opportune science-driven practical conceptions
and applications. They represent how organizations are proposed and
planned, as well as how they establish a market and social
relations, manage strategic resources, and make decisions. However,
companies must produce new solutions for strategic sustainability,
performance measurement, and overall managerial conditions for
these business models to be implemented effectively. The Handbook
of Research on Business Models in Modern Competitive Scenarios
depicts how business models contribute to strategic competition in
this new era of technological and social changes as well as how
they are conceptualized, studied, designed, implemented, and in the
end, how they can be improved. Featuring research on topics such as
creating shared value, global scenarios, and organizational
intelligence, this book provides pivotal information for scientific
researchers, business decision makers, strategic planners,
consultants, managers, and academicians.
This open access book provides answers to key open questions
concerning competition policy in emerging economies, with a focus
on South Eastern Europe. The contributions address two major
issues. One is the design of competition policy and the national
competition authorities that enforce it, including the topics of
competition advocacy and state aid control; the other is the use of
economic methods in competition law enforcement, especially in the
cases of relevant market definition and merger control. Many
lessons learned in the countries of South Eastern Europe can be
applied to the emerging markets of other regions. As such, the
findings presented here will be highly relevant for officials and
staff at national competition authorities, advisers to legislators
shaping national competition policy, competition law professionals,
and university students alike.
