ISBN: 9780125286329 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The formal theory of bargaining originated with John Nash's work in the early 1950s.

Distribution in Japan
ISBN: 9780199248902 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Several years have passed since the 'store wars' over barriers to foreign products at Japanese distribution firms. Yet among English-speaking readers, how these firms operate remains a puzzle. In this book, the best Japanese scholars in their fields attempt to unravel that puzzle. Avoiding culture-based explanations, they employ a systematic and rigorous economic logic---yet, since they also avoid mathematical notation, the argument remains accessible to generalist readers.

Reluctant Capitalists : Bookselling and the Culture of Consumption
ISBN: 9780226525914 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Over the past half-century, bookselling, like many retail industries, has evolved from an arena dominated by independent bookstores to one in which chain stores have significant market share. And as in other areas of retail, this transformation has often been a less-than-smooth process. This has been especially pronounced in bookselling, argues Laura J. Miller, because more than most other consumer goods, books are the focus of passionate debate. What drives that debate? And why do so many people believe that bookselling should be immune to questions of profit?
