Multi Level Marketing. Determinanty sukcesu biznesowego
Aron Axel Wadlewski
Geneza Multi Level Marketingu (MLM) sięga XIX wieku. W praktyce biznesowej mylony jest z marketingiem bezpośrednim, franczyzą, sprzedażą bezpośrednią lub networkingiem. Często przywołuje też skojarzenie z piramidą finansową. W rzeczywistości między tymi pojęciami występują istotne różnice. Pejoratywny obraz MLM nie sprzyja podejmowaniu studiów nad nim. Wiedza na temat tego zjawiska oparta jest głównie na treściach pochodzących z poradników wydawanych przeważnie przez praktyków tej formy biznesu. Ich propagandowy charakter często powoduje wiele niejasności wywołanych choćby niespójnością definicji MLM. Tymczasem w warunkach coraz większej niepewności, rosnących wymagań i oczekiwań rynku MLM powinien być postrzegany jako dobry przykład stymulowania przedsiębiorczości wśród społeczeństwa, zwłaszcza gdy weźmie się pod uwagę taką jego zaletę, jak niewielki kapitał początkowy potrzebny do rozpoczęcia działalności w oparciu o już dobrze sprawdzony i przetestowany produkt. W kontekście rosnącego znaczenia MLM w Polsce dogłębne badanie jego istoty wydaje się ważne zarówno dla nauki, jak i praktyki biznesowej. Rzetelna analiza tej formy działalności może przyczynić się do zrozumienia uwarunkowań sprzyjających dalszemu rozwojowi tego zjawiska zarówno na poziomie makro- (branża MLM), mezo- (przedsiębiorstwo MLM) i mikroekonomicznym (przedsiębiorca MLM). * Publikacja zawiera oryginalny opis teoretyczny oraz empiryczny Multi Level Marketingu w odniesieniu do czynników, które wpływają na sukces działania przedsiębiorstwa na rynku. Zawarte w niej wnioski mogą być wykorzystane w praktyce, szczególnie w odniesieniu do podmiotów MLM, sprzedaży bezpośredniej i sieciowej. Może też służyć w procesie dydaktycznym na kierunkach związanych z biznesem, zarządzaniem, marketingiem, sprzedażą. Jej oryginalność zasadza się na szerokim naświetleniu tematyki oraz sfomułowaniu oryginalnych wniosków wynikających z własnych badań ilościowych oraz jakościowych. W tym sensie to praca innowacyjna. Książka wypełnia też istniejącą na rynku wydawniczym lukę w odniesieniu do marketingu bezpośredniego. Z recenzji prof. dr. hab. Henryka Mruka

Multi-cloud has emerged as one of the top cloud computing trends, with businesses wanting to reduce their reliance on only one vendor. But when organizations shift to multiple cloud services without a clear strategy, they may face certain difficulties, in terms of how to stay in control, how to keep all the different components secure, and how to execute the cross-cloud development of applications. This book combines best practices from different cloud adoption frameworks to help you find solutions to these problems.With step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, you’ll begin by planning the foundation, creating the architecture, designing the governance model, and implementing tools, processes, and technologies to manage multi-cloud environments. You’ll then discover how to design workload environments using different cloud propositions, understand how to optimize the use of these cloud technologies, and automate and monitor the environments. As you advance, you’ll delve into multi-cloud governance, defining clear demarcation models and management processes. Finally, you’ll learn about managing identities in multi-cloud: who’s doing what, why, when, and where.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create, implement, and manage multi-cloud architectures with confidence
