Retail Supply Chain Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 6min
My employer is a major player within the retail industry. With experience it is fairly easy to indicate that the process of the store's operations begins with the supplier. Suppliers are responsible for inputs to a process, and my employer is involved in both external and internal suppliers. My employer offers a store brand that is produced within a separate department and a separate location that competes with the supplier's brand. This paper overviews how a retail supply chain works and why a supply chain is necessary in retail in order to stay one step ahead of the numerous competitors. I hold an associate's degree in business management technology and am a senior studying for a bachelor's degree in business management. Thanks, and I hope this document serves as a great learning or reference tool. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Al Remington.

Cadence: A Tale of Fast Business Growth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
Cadence is a parable of a business owner and triathlon coach named JJ, who left his stable job as a teacher to fulfill his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Unfortunately, two years after opening his bike shop, JJ finds himself in a place that is all too familiar to most business owners, struggling to stay afloat. That all changes fast when an athlete he coaches teaches him how to turn the store's profitability around with seven key "10-percent wins". Cadence uniquely communicates entrepreneur and advisor Pete Williams' "seven levers" approach to business growth through the vehicle of a story. Instead of offering a list of dos and don'ts for business success, Cadence imparts wisdom by inviting listeners on a journey into the lives of two characters who each have something valuable to teach the other. Through the use of down-to-earth dialogue and realistic business challenges, listeners will immediately be pulled into the story of JJ and Charlie and how they each learn to hit their stride and turn profitability around. ungekürzt.

Dimestore: A Writer's Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
In her first work of nonfiction, Lee Smith deploys the wit, wisdom, and graceful prose for which she is beloved to conjure her early days in the small coal town of Grundy, Virginia - and beyond. For the inimitable Lee Smith, place is paramount. For 45 years, her fiction has lived and breathed with the rhythms and people of the Appalachian South. But never before has she written her own story. Set deep in the rugged Appalachian Mountains, the Grundy of Lee Smith's youth was a place of coal miners, mountain music, and her daddy's dimestore. It was in that dimestore - listening to customers and inventing life histories for the store's dolls - that she began to learn the craft of storytelling. Even though she adored Grundy, Smith's formal education and travels took her far from Virginia, though her Appalachian upbringing never left her. Dimestore's 15 essays are crushingly honest, always wise, and superbly entertaining. Smith has created both a moving, personal portrait and a broader meditation on embracing one's heritage. Hers is an inspiring story of the birth of a writer and a poignant look at a way of life that has all but vanished. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Linda Stephens.
