Buying Local in a Small Import-Dependent Economy
Dependency theory premises that the colonial powers of Europe benefitted economically by keeping their colonies in a state of low value-added production and import dependence for most of their modern history. Proposed by Latin American and Caribbean scholars as the rationale for persistent underdevelopment in their home countries, the dependency framework has been subject to a barrage of criticism in First World economic literature since the middle of the 20th century. This book revisits the controversial theory in a novel context. It takes a microeconomic perspective, and considers whether consumers in the small, post-colonial state of Barbados would respond to a national 'buy local' campaign message, in the face of constant media exposure, and increasingly liberalized access to First World brands.

Sales Sucks... But It Doesn't Have To

Rethinking the marketing of lesser-known destinations
Madagascar's tourism sector has been facing stagnation and even decline for several years. Despite constant efforts to revive the sector, no decisive results have been observed. The project proposed here stands out for its innovative approach, combining marketing innovation and the enhancement of local resources, with a strategy that is both economical and perfectly adapted to Malagasy culture and philosophy.It is important to recognize that the Ministry of Tourism's limited budget does not allow it to adopt the tourism promotion models of developed countries. Moreover, it would be counterproductive to blindly follow these models. The solution lies in a viable, innovative and creative approach, based on a concept known as tourism e-ambassadors. These represent a strategic means of promoting Madagascar through digital ambassadors, drawn from our diaspora and social networks, capable of spreading our message in a targeted and engaging way. Developed countries benefit from considerable financial resources to fund international promotion strategies.
Crisis Communications
Crises happen. But how they are handled makes all the difference in the world. It's 2019. A gunman enters Trask International, a suburban Washington, D.C. office, leaving three people dead and dozens injured. One of the biggest differences between this tragedy and \the many others that have unfortunately occurred recently? They were ready for this. Trask International had a comprehensive Crisis Communications plan. No, the plan didn't deploy bulletproof shields, nor did it call upon a secret superhero to fight off the gunman. But the plan did spell out how the business should respond in public to what happened, keep the focus on the true victims and not position the business as one, and how the business could--and would--get things back to normal as quickly as possible. Crisis Communications and the Art of Making Nothing Happen is a fast-paced story told in two parts--the first tells the tale of the shooting itself, while the second presents a deep dive into how a business prepares for a crisis. It takes a close look at the teamwork involved with crisis communication planning, and, ultimately, how preparation helps keep a bad situation from getting worse.
