A Practitioners Guide to Digital Platform Business by
This book is a practitioner's guide to digital business models for entrepreneurs, business executives, MBA and undergraduate students. Balancing both frameworks and real-life case studies, it provides readers with the tools for creating successful businesses in the digital age, while at the same time serving as a cautionary tale for those who value businesses by the technology they wield and not the strategies they execute.The business landscape in the last decade was surreal -- exhilaration, fear, opportunities, threats, all rolled into one messy landscape. Never before had the world seen disruptions of such unprecedented speed, scope, and scale. Many business leaders were ready to pounce on the new opportunities, but most ended up defeated. They had not anticipated that most disruptive businesses used digital strategies and a small talent pool to sidestep the traditional competencies that mega-corporations had needed decades to build with legions of employees. The core technologies that power the businesses of today's digital giants still revolve around the internet, data, and computing resources. The sudden disruptions to the business landscape is better explained by the ability of digital businesses to further capitalize on the existing technological advancements.

So You Wanna: Start a Food or Beverage Business by
A choose-your-own-path guide to launching and sustaining a successful food or beverage business The specialty food and beverage business is a thriving industry, and the barriers to entry are low- all you need is a recipe and a kitchen. It sounds simple, but launching a food or beverage company is a maze of choices and consequences. (Will you taste test your product with friends and family for free, or commission a costly market feasibility study? Will you enter a large and popular category, or offer something totally new? Will you cook in your home, rent space in a shared kitchen, or build your own facility?) Douglas Raggio has been there- both as a food founder and as a consultant to other successful startups, and he's come to learn that every choice a food founder makes has a fairly predictable outcome. In So You Wanna- Start a Food or Beverage Business, he'll help you think through the many decisions you'll make along the road from an idea to a successful company-whether you see yourself building a following at your farmer's market, partnering with a local restaurant, or launching the next Pepsi. But this is not a traditional how-to book, instructional manual, or personal story of entrepreneurial success. Don't even expect to read it straight through from beginning to end! Raggio's book follows four archetypal food startups that cover a range of business ideas and founders. Every few pages, you must make crucial decisions about the next step to take in growing the business, and flip to another section that will help you understand how that choice is likely to play out. In these pages, you'll learn the ins and outs of- . Coming up with an exciting, profitable new product . Funding your startup . Conducting market research . Pricing and producing to scale . Partnerships, promotions, and branding . Deciding when to keep going--and when to fold So You Wanna- Start a Food or Beverage Business will help you to navigate the pathways that lead to success, and avoid the roads that lead to frustration (or worse). By understanding the perils and pleasures of this fast-growing industry you will be able to approach your own business with confidence, make the decisions that feel right to you . . . and learn to have a lot of fun along the way!
