证明团购靠谱的数学模型

团购价落入“金橄榄球”区间,买卖各方都会很开心,这才是真正的团购
经济学常识告诉我们,所有卖方对商品的定价都是“探索”定价。无论卖方消耗多少心思和资源做市场调研,最终的定价都是一种“摸索”。在产品周期中,卖方一般会不断根据市场反馈调整商品定价以达到利润最大化。那么,目前很流行的团购在这个过程中能扮演什么角色呢?
中国,Richard Russel
2011年1月18日 — 有谁知道中国真正的需要和发展方向?Russell回答是:中国想成为地球上的经济强国。请注意我说的是“经济强国”,而不是“军事强国”。军事方面,中国仅仅希望能遏制美国,或者说能和美国的军力相当即可。中国很清楚,下一场世界强国的战争没有赢家(双方都将俩败俱伤)。
中国最初步的经济策略就是:使人民币成为世界货币。中国想在世界贸易中让人民币代替美元,作为世界的储备货币(硬通货)。中国正朝着此目标小心但稳步地前进着。

“要么授权,要么倒闭”:谈如何授权给员工
在知识密集型行业,我在大机构工作过,也在小机构工作过。和这些机构的老大谈到“管理”,总有很多话题。但归根结底,大家最热衷的话题还是“如何授权给员工”。众所周知,授权做得好的老板能把更多精力时间花在拓展,生意可以做得很大;授权做不好甚至没有授权的,感觉公司和他自己似乎一辈子也就这样了。
下面这个帖子的作者Derek Sivers自己的例子例子介绍“如何授权给员工”,是我看到关于授权管理方面最简单最实际的解释:

英文摘要:
This is an overview of economic phenomena that are important for high-technology industries. Topics covered include personalization of products and prices, versioning, bundling, switching costs, lock-in, economies of scale, network effects, standards, and systems effects.
Most of these phenomena are present in conventional industries, but they are particular important for technology-intensive industries. I provide a survey and review of recent literature and examine some implications of these phenomena for corporate strategy and public policy.
摘要中文翻译:

State and Terrorist Conspiracies
“To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us, and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not. Firstly we must understand what aspect of government or neocorporatist behavior we wish to change or remove. Secondly we must develop a way of thinking about this behavior that is strong enough carry us through the mire of politically distorted language, and into a position of clarity. Finally must use these insights to inspire within us and others a course of ennobling, and effective action.”
– Julian Assange, “State and Terrorist Conspiracies”
