Turning It Around: Closure and Revitalization in New Zealand Industry
No country has gone as far, or as fast, in pursuing a policy of economic deregulation as New Zealand. This has placed enormous pressures on firms to "rationalize" their activities (that is, to reorganize, relocate, or exit). This book offers an incisive examination of the responses which firms
have made to deregulation in case studies of five meat processing; flour milling; carpet manufacturing; automobile assembly; and petroleum retailing. It analyzes factors such as market and asset structure and firm ownership, which influence the strategies for rationalization that firms
employ, and identifies the barriers to change which they encounter. In conclusion, the results of the five case-studies have been integrated, so that the framework may be used by the reader to consider examples of industries other than those presented here.

About the author
John Savage
337 books17 followersJohn began ghost-writing Frank Campbell’s novels. In fact, the last ten novels credited to Frank Campbell were actually written by John Savage.
After Frank’s death, John began selling novels under his own name to House of Milan. He also wrote for Sandpiper Press, Olympia Press and Bon-Vue, all being published as paperbacks. For a while he dropped out of the marketplace but then came back when ebooks became popular. He is currently writing B&D novels for Strict Publishing, and occasionally non-B&D books under a different name.
As to the man himself, he was born in 1943, is married and has two grown children. He is a Viet Nam era veteran. His main career has been in computers, ranging from programmer to systems analyst. He still programs computers and enjoys it. His B.S. and M.S. are in computer science, but in addition, he has a PhD in, of all fields, astronomy! This is the reason for the nickname “Doc” Savage being stuck on him (“Doc” Savage was a well-known fictional character from the 30’s). Today he lives in Solana Beach, California, enjoying his hobbies of astronomy, fishing and fast sports cars.
