It is fifty years since Doris Lessing published Going Home, an account of her return to Rhodesia, the country where she grew up. By then in her thirties, she had already achieved the [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie[/url] status [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] of restricted person because of her political allegiances and her declared opposition to illiberal white rule. These days Zimbabwe makes the news because of internal strife and oppression. It is worth remembering, however, that fifty years ago the very structures of Southern Rhodesian society were built upon [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie milano[/url] oppression, an oppression based purely on race.
Fifty years on Doris Lessing's Going Home an historical record of this noxious system, a record that is more effective, indeed more powerful because of its reflective and observational, rather than analytical style. Doris Lessing, a one-time card-carrying Communist, laid a large slice of the blame for the perpetuation of discrimination firmly at the door of the white working class. Though not all white workers were rich - indeed she records that many were abjectly poor - what they had and sought to preserve was an elevated status relative to the black population. She describes white [url=http://www.par5club.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] artisans as white first and artisans second. Though trade unions actively sought equal pay for equal work, they never campaigned for any kind of parity for black [url=http://www.osterblade.com]moncler outlet[/url] workers. On the contrary, they demanded the maintenance of racially differentiated pay rates. How's that for the [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] spirit of socialist internationalism and brotherhood! (I accept there is a misplaced word there...). In fact Doris Lessing records that it was the relatively liberal capitalist enterprises that demanded more black labour, their motive of course arising from cost savings, not philanthropy. So trade unions spent much of their time making sure that companies hired their quota of higher paid, white labour.
Even in [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]hollister[/url] the 1950s, she remarks on the likelihood that many Africans were already better educated than their white counterparts. White youth shunned education as unnecessary, while [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour pas cher soldes[/url] Africans saw it as a possible salvation. She notes that the people who treated the African population the worst were recent immigrants from Europe, particularly those from Britain, who tended to be less educated themselves and drawn from the ranks of the politically reactionary. Such people, apparently, were equally critical of immigrants from southern Europe, and expected Spaniards and Greeks to work for African wages, not the white wages that they themselves demanded.
The situation in Rhodesia, clearly, had to change. Not only was such crass discrimination unsustainable, it was also comic, as are all racially posited class systems. While the South Africans over the border created honorary whites of the Japanese they increasingly had to do business with, the Rhodesians went through their own equally idiotic contortions. An example of such nonsense is quoted by Doris Lessing when she remarks that there was a privileged group of Africans who were granted the right not to carry passes with them [url=http://www.ktbruce.co.uk/barbourjackets.php]barbour[/url] at all times, as long as they carried a pass to record their exemption.
But it is also worth remembering that Doris Lessing, herself, was a banned person, unable [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Hollister-b5.php]hollister france[/url] to travel to certain places and very much under the watchful eyes of the authorities. In Going Home she observes a society that had to collapse under the weight of its unsustainable contradictions. The fact that this took more than twenty years after the book was written was nothing less than a crime, and probably contributed to the subsequent and equally lamentable reaction.
Doris Lessing records seeing a British film towards the end of her travels. She describes it as a "cosy little drama of provincial snobberies and homespun moralities [url=http://www.ktbruce.co.uk/hollisteroutlet.php]hollister outlet[/url] played out in front of African farmers in their big cars". Fifty years on, Britain is probably cosy and provincial, and the snobberies are still rife. But now it is not Rhodesia where these reactionaries look down on people of other races overpay and under-educated themselves. It is not in Africa where corporations would dearly love to employ cheaper labour, imported if need be. Rhodesia's white privilege of the 1950s was obviously absurd. But there are some parallels with economic and class relations in the Britain of today and, like all good books, Doris Lessing's Going Home may even add [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] prescience to its qualities.

Every so often you hear about a tremendously successful mobile app and a vibrant new competitor entering the market to try to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] take some of its market [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] share. Recently Google announced that it is going to introduce a new Internet music service dedicated to rivaling the similar service provided to mobile device users by Spotify and Pandora. As a new market entry, Google stands [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to test [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] out the proverbial waters of the mobile Internet radio and music streaming markets. With that said, however, and as you surely know, Google is a gigantic corporation that likely has the highest possibility of competing against, if not entirely taking over the market share majority. In any instance where a newcomer is aiming to compete in a mobile app market, the other apps should brace for a full on fight for market share. If [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you believe there may [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be a new market entry ready to compete with your mobile app, here are some things you can do to prepare.
Don't Let Them Get Settled
When strategizing for a newcomer to your market, the first thing you should aim to do is not [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] let them get settled. This is the biggest mistake that many successful apps make. Once a new entry to your market gets settled, they are much more likely to stay and hold, if not continue to secure larger portions of the market share. Instead of allowing the newcomer to get situated, you should instead aim your marketing against their appeal to potential users. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] What's more, you should ensure that your app [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is either offered at a discounted rate, or unveils an exciting new feature upon the release of the new market entry. This way mobile device users will not only have to take notice of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] your counter offering, but they will also have to choose between your trusted app or the new market entry.
Do Not Relent
Another mistake that mobile apps make is letting a new competitor off the hook once they get settled in the market. Entering any market is hard to do, so for a mobile app to get settled takes a lot of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] determination by the app makers and probably some neglect by its competitors. While the goal should be to not let a new market entry get settled, if they do, then your attention should shift to a relentless defense of your piece of the market share. This means maintaining your [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] market presence and consumer outreach to support current app users, while impressing and attracting new users.
Conclusion
New competition in your app's market can very easily put your entire company on edge and its financial future in serious jeopardy. In order to limit that possibility, the best method is to, first, not let your new competitor get settled in the industry. This means unleashing marketing and business development efforts against their entry, which will hopefully at least limit the portion of market [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] share that they acquire. Then, if you are still unsuccessful in rejecting them from the market, your next tactic should be to continue your relentless onslaught against their rise in the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] market and to even further limit the amount of market share your new competitor achieves. While it may not guarantee that you warn off any unwanted newcomers to your mobile app's market, taking the aforementioned steps certainly can provide the best chance of putting up a solid defense.
