A strategic control point is a part of a market that, if controlled by one party, can be used to leverage power elsewhere. This can occur throughout the supply chain, in a related business, or even in an unrelated market\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Carrot and the Stick \u003c\/i\u003euses detailed examples and case studies - ranging from historic cases like Vanderbilt's railroad in New York to current cases like Amazon's control of the value chain - to explain how finding and leveraging points of strategic control can be the key to success in today's convergent, fast-paced markets. The book focuses on how to spot and own potential points of strategic control, how to extend them to multiple markets, what tools and processes can be implemented in order to utilize the principle in practice, and how to \"pry loose\" existing points of strategic control owned by others. Applicable to all industries, this book can help alter business outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Putsis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 148750165X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487501655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rotman-Utp Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021","brand":"William Putsis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44717549289727,"sku":"9781487501655","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0ca6a5a-6351-409a-a90a-505ecce35f74.jpg?v=1705688607","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-carrot-and-the-stick-william-putsis-9781487501655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
