Competitive Equity

Mutual funds are a key resource for Americans saving for retirement, college, and other long-term goals. With hundreds of fund families and thousands of individual funds crowding the marketplace, competition would hardly seem an issue. Yet funds are failing to compete effectively on price. This is a serious problem for savers, because small price differences can deeply erode investment results over time. This book argues that the problem is not too little regulation, but too much and of the wrong kind. The authors show how current policy leads to de facto rate regulation and propose a new collective investment vehicle.

Provides a new conceptualization of competition law as economic inequality and its interaction with efficiency become of central concern to policy and decision-makers.

Many strategies fail not because they are improperly formulated but because they are poorly implemented. The Oxford Handbook of Strategy Implementation examines the crucial role of implementation in how business and managerial strategies produce returns. In this wide-ranging collection of essays, leading scholars address governance, resources, human capital, and accounting-based control systems, advancing our understanding of strategy implementation and identifying opportunities for future research on this important process.
