Leavitt J: Kings of Capital and Knights
of Labor

Kings of Capital and Knights of Labor

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Governance of Strategic Alliances

This book presents a cohesive collection of cutting-edge research focused on advanced decision-support methodologies for complex and ambiguous operational contexts. This volume systematically assembles ten pivotal studies employing uncertain decision-making, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), and tailored optimization models to address substantive challenges in supply chain management, sustainable operations, and strategic planning.The contributions span a rigorous methodological spectrum, including fuzzy PDCA cycles for green performance evaluation, hybrid MCDM frameworks for lean tool selection, and robust optimization for resilient network design. Applications are drawn from critical domains such as healthcare logistics during epidemic response, sustainable supply chain configuration, and large-scale project trade-off analysis under resource constraints. Each chapter demonstrates the translation of theoretical computational models into applied solutions for decision-making under volatility, incomplete information, and multi-objective pressures.This volume will serve as a significant reference for academics and graduate researchers in management science, operations research, and industrial engineering. It provides a structured examination of how contemporary soft computing and operational research techniques can be leveraged to enhance analytical rigor and strategic outcomes in the face of pervasive environmental uncertainty.The chapters in this book were published in International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. In an era when economic, social, and geopolitical uncertainties are reshaping the world of management, Management Education and the Rise of Uncertainty of Global Business offers a timely, collective reflection on how business and management schools can prepare tomorrow's leaders. Drawing on insights from international experts, the book reimagines the internationalization of management education--not as a mere export of Western norms but as a catalyst for inclusion, peace, and mutual understanding. Showcasing innovative institutions and programmes across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, the book highlights models of 'inclusive internationalization' that prioritize diverse practices, co-created pedagogy, and contextualized knowledge. It also explores shifting student expectations: a search for meaning, a drive for social impact, and a readiness to address twenty-first-century challenges like climate change, inequality, and technology. Amid growing pressure to specialize, sometimes at the expense of a common educational foundation, this book champions a universal vision for management education--one that develops adaptable, critical, and responsible professionals for a rapidly changing world.

Routledge New Directions in PR & Communication Research

The book argues that the Palestinian response to the challenge of promoting their cause is to extend their repertoire of public relations communication tactics. It explores the discursive strategies employed by Palestinian communication strategists, across the range of political allegiances, via public relations techniques to advance the cause of statehood. These tactics have emerged not only as the result of planned strategy but also through improvisation and informal responses to outside pressures.

The book argues that the Palestinian response to the challenge of promoting their cause is to extend their repertoire of public relations communication tactics. It explores the discursive strategies employed by Palestinian communication strategists, across the range of political allegiances, via public relations techniques to advance the cause of statehood. It also explores how the growing number of professional communicators use strategic communication to position key ‘national’ issues. These tactics have emerged not only as the result of planned strategy but also through improvisation and informal responses to outside pressures. Whether this increasing coherence and confidence arises from the growing availability of professional communication planning expertise, or the decreasing cost barriers associated with digital media, the outcome has been greater international political recognition for Palestine. By illustrating this effectiveness and symbolic coherence in the face of both poor internal mass media structures and political constraints, the Palestinian example may offer insights for other aspiring national movements and for public diplomacy.
