Oceania Entrepreneurship
by Vanessa RattenThis book focuses on the growth of entrepreneurship in Oceania. This means focusing on cultural endeavors as well as digital and technology-based forms of entrepreneurship. It is the first to explore how Oceania has a distinctive type of business appeal given its strategic position in the world. Whilst other regions such as North America, Europe and Africa have been studied in terms of entrepreneurial endeavors, there is a lack of research on Oceania despite it being a unique and important region. This book thus fills this gap by taking a progressive approach as to how entrepreneurship in Oceania is managed, emphasizing the growth of new economic segments and changing geo-political powers.
Océano Azul, Océano Rojo (Imprescindibles)
by W. Chan Kim Renée Mauborgne Traducción de Efrén del Valle PeñamilOcéano Azul, Océano Rojo de W. Chan Kim y Renée Mauborgne es un volumen de la colección «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, que reúne las ideas esenciales para el profesional y la empresa de hoy por los autores de referencia. --Edición en colaboración con Harvard Business Review-- Solo un 30 por ciento de los empleados aplican activamente su talento y energía para hacer avanzar a sus organizaciones. El 50 por ciento se limita a pasar el tiempo, mientras que el 20 por ciento restante manifiesta su descontento de maneras contraproducentes. Y una de las principales causas de la falta de compromiso es un mal liderazgo. W. Chan Kim y Renée Mauborgne se inspiran en su célebre estrategia del «Océano Azul» y la aplican para ayudar a los líderes a liberar de manera rápida y económica el talento y la energía no explotados en sus organizaciones. Y ante la necesidad de crear nuevos mercados para obtener un triunfo a largo plazo, abordan los modelos mentales -que tienen su origen en suposiciones sobre el marketing, la innovación tecnológica, la disrupción creativa o las estrategias competitivas- que anclan a los directivos en «Océanos Rojos», espacios abarrotados en los que las empresas libran una batalla encarnizada por su cuota de mercado. Los «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, en colaboración con Harvard Business Review, permiten acceder a las grandes ideas de los autores de referencia que inspiran a directivos y profesionales. Este volumen reúne los textos «El liderazgo Océano Azul» y «Trampas del Océano Rojo» de W. Chan Kim y RenéeMauborgne, profesores de INSEAD y autores de La estrategia del Océano Azul.
Oceans of Grain: How American Wheat Remade the World
by Scott Reynolds NelsonAn "incredibly timely" global history journeys from the Ukrainian steppe to the American prairie to show how grain built and toppled the world's largest empires (Financial Times). To understand the rise and fall of empires, we must follow the paths traveled by grain—along rivers, between ports, and across seas. In Oceans of Grain, historian Scott Reynolds Nelson reveals how the struggle to dominate these routes transformed the balance of world power. Early in the nineteenth century, imperial Russia fed much of Europe through the booming port of Odessa, on the Black Sea in Ukraine. But following the US Civil War, tons of American wheat began to flood across the Atlantic, and food prices plummeted. This cheap foreign grain spurred the rise of Germany and Italy, the decline of the Habsburgs and the Ottomans, and the European scramble for empire. It was a crucial factor in the outbreak of the First World War and the Russian Revolution. A powerful new interpretation, Oceans of Grain shows that amid the great powers&’ rivalries, there was no greater power than control of grain.

OCP Group
by Kristin E.

The company facts were reviewed and approved before publication by a company designate. Funding for the development of this case was provided by Harvard Business School and not by the company.

OCP Group
by Natalie Kindred Kristin E. Fabbe Forest L. Reinhardt Alpana ThaparThis case explores the strategy of OCP Group, the 95%-state-owned Moroccan firm charged with managing the North African country's vast reserves of phosphate. Phosphate was one of the most vital macronutrients for plant health, along with nitrogen and potassium, and Morocco had about 75% of known worldwide reserves. In 2017, under the leadership of Dr. Mostafa Terrab, OCP was halfway through a $20 billion industrial transformation program aimed at increasing its industrial capacity, improving cost efficiencies, and boosting long-term competitiveness. The program involved moving OCP beyond mining and exporting raw phosphate rock-its traditional focus, which it performed at a relatively low cost-towards greater production of phosphoric acid and finished fertilizer products. In the next phase of the program, OCP planned to ramp up its focus on fertilizer production, especially for markets in Africa, where fertilizer historically was underutilized. Terrab and his team saw an opportunity to nurture and meet fertilizer demand by creating products tailored to the needs of African farmers. This case provides background on Morocco, the fertilizer industry, and OCP Group's past, current, and envisioned strategy and operations. With this context, students are invited to consider how aggressively OCP Group should pursue downstream integration (and specifically its Africa strategy), as well as how OCP can best leverage its competitive advantages and utilize Morocco's phosphate reserves to its-and Morocco's-benefit.
