  Why Businesses Fail? S01E04

  In some business, size does matter. The biggest companies struggle for growth. Even a single digit drop in growth percentage can result in a large drop in the stock price of listed companies. On the other hand, there are small, boutique firms that are highly specialized, operate within a niche, and have a loyal customer base. Rather than spending large sums on marketing and brand building, they focus on quality and growth by word of mouth. Are they doing something right by staying small and continuing to operate, or are they missing out on the multiple growth opportunities that exist? We ponder this question in this episode.
  
  For a business leader, what should be the main focus, grow bigger, grow profitable, or attain sustainable growth? The answer may vary depending on the sector you operate in. A recent example may offer a clue.
  
  In early 2022, one of the largest industrial conglomerates in India made an announcement that they would invest billions of Rupees (i.e. Hundreds of crores of Rupees) in the FMCG or Fast Moving Consumer Goods space. This prompted CXOs of some of the incumbent companies to announce they would make some acquisitions, enter new geographies, or product statements. The theme that resonated was – even in these current challenging times, they all aspire to grow bigger.

  The real story about how to be a successful seller on Amazon, from a leading consultant. Amazon is the most powerful business incubator in the history of the world. Unfortunately, where there is great opportunity, get-rich-quick schemes abound. Most available books about selling on Amazon peddle a dream that is unattainable for sellers. They promise riches at the cost of only five hours a week, or a long-term income for an initial investment of just $1,000. The Amazon Incubator is different. This book instead offers realistic, sustainable strategies for building a long-term, profitable business on Amazon. Whether sellers are burgeoning entrepreneurs or own the ecommerce channel at an established brand, they will benefit from the strategic thinking and in-depth Amazon know-how delivered in an easily digestible format. The reader will be guided through exercises to define their goals, determine their product set, and execute like a champ. The Amazon Incubator is written in short, easy-to-digest chapters that include case studies and real-world examples of Amazon seller success and failure. Readers will better identify with and understand the information when case studies are included. In addition, each chapter includes a brief summary at the end, as well as suggested action steps, so it can easily be used as a tool for the reader to share with teammates and business associates.

  Blockchain Governance

  How can digital cash truly be "trustless"? What does it mean that blockchain offers a new paradigm of the "rule of code"? How are decisions made when a blockchain system faces an emergency, and who gets to make those decisions? In Blockchain Governance, Primavera De Filippi, Wessel Reijers, and Morshed Mannan offer answers to these questions and more, in an accessible, critical overview of legal and political issues related to blockchain technology. 
   
   
   
  Blockchain-based systems offer new ways of organizing digital cash, "smart" contracts to execute transactions, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to collect art, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to coordinate humans and machines. What these applications have in common is that they govern the behavior of people and artificial agents through distributed systems. Drawing from their extensive experience in researching blockchain technologies and communities, the authors discuss the origins of Bitcoin in cypher-anarchism and extropianism, spectacular events like the million-dollar theft of the DAO Attack, and the hostile takeover of the Steem platform. While engaging with political and legal thinkers such as Hobbes, Kelsen, and the Ostroms, these narratives explore how blockchain governance problematizes fundamental concepts such as rule of law, sovereignty, legality, legitimacy, and polycentric governance.
