  An approach to reinvigorating economic competition that doesn’t break up corporate giants, but compels them to share their technology, data, and knowledge 
    
  “Bessen is a master of unpacking the nuances of a complex array of interrelated trends to build a coherent story of how the promise of the democratized Internet ended up under the control of just a few. Read The New Goliaths to see how the forest came to have only room for a few tall trees with the rest of us in the undergrowth.”—Joshua Gans, coauthor of Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence 
    
  Historically, competition has powered progress under capitalism. Companies with productive new products rise to the top, but sooner or later, competitors come along with better innovations and disrupt the threat of monopoly. Dominant firms like Walmart, Amazon, and Google argue that this process of “creative destruction” prevents them from becoming too powerful or entrenched. 
    
  But the threat of competition has sharply decreased over the past twenty years, and today’s corporate giants have come to power by using proprietary information technologies to create a tilted playing field. This development has increased economic inequality and social division, slowed innovation, and allowed dominant firms to evade government regulation. In the face of increasing calls to break up the largest companies, James Bessen argues that a better way to restore competitive balance and dynamism is to encourage or compel these companies to share technology, data, and knowledge.

  Success in business has traditionally meant having a strategy  and excelling at the hard skills: controlling costs, boosting  speed, effectively managing the supply chain, and superior  number-crunching and analytics. For years, mastering these  hard factors was enoughbut in  todays climate, its not so simple. The very appeal of  the hard stuff, the fact that it can be measured and quantified,  also means it can be analyzed and copied by the competition. So  what does it really take to get ahead, and stay there?    THE SOFT EDGE argues that certain key soft" factors are  the only remaining edge to any businesss ability to  succeed in the modern economy for the long  run. They move beyond strategy and the hard, to  the next level - seeing companies through the disruption  of a rapidly changing environment.  Five key  advantages make up THE SOFT EDGE:    Trust: Customers must trust that your product or service  is authentic and robust enough to withstand the immediacy of  todays media. When things go wrong, customers and  stakeholders believe youll do the right thing.  Smarts: In the age of Google, true smartness means the  ability to see and recognize patternsand constitutes the  difference between forecasting a likely future or simply following  the conventional wisdom  Teamwork: Team-oriented selling and sales commissions  outperform individually focused sales teams by 30 percent.  Taste: Clever product design and integration are proxies  for intelligencethey make customers feel smart. If your  product or service is seen as a badge of intelligence, youre  far along the road to lasting success.  Story: In a world where outsiders can weigh in and have  a greater voice on your brand, the ability to create an effective  narrative is more important than ever.    The post-recession economy can  reward you if you do the  right things, but will punish you, swiftly and severely, if you  dont.  THE SOFT EDGE provides the essential tools for  any organization to stay competitive, now and in the  future.

  Walmart - Diary of An Associate

  Hugo Meunier

  • 0

  In 2012, journalist Hugo Meunier went undercover as a Walmart employee for three months in St. Leonard, Quebec, just north of Montreal.
  		 
  In great detail, Meunier charts the daily life of an impoverished Walmart worker, referring to his shifts at the box store giant as “somewhere between the army and Walt Disney.” Each shift began with a daily chant before bowing to customer demands and the constant pressure to sell. Meanwhile Meunier and his fellow workers could not afford to shop anywhere else but Walmart, further indenturing them to the multi-billion-dollar corporation.
  		 
  Beyond his time on the shop floor, Meunier documents the extraordinary efforts that Walmart exerts to block unionization campaigns, including their 2005 decision to close their outlet in Jonquiere, QC, where the United Food and Commercial Workers union had successfully gained certification rights. A decade later he charts the Supreme Court of Canada ruling that exposed the dubious legal ground on which Walmart stood in invoking closure and throwing workers out on the street.
  		 
  In Walmart: Diary of an Associate, Meunier reveals the truths behind Walmart’s low prices. It will make you think twice before shopping there.
