~ Book Meme ~

I've been tagged by KC of the Earth-Bound Insight with a Book Meme. :) Since I'm another tag lover, I'm just gonna do it anyway. :)

Rules:

1) Grab the book closest to you
2) Open to page 123, go down to the fourth sentence
3) Post the text of the following 3 sentences on your blog
4) Name the author and book title
5) Tag two people to do the same

... The club will now find that any attempt to implement the first-degree price discrimination scheme of charging high-income patrons an entry fee of $72 and low-income patrons an entry fee of $32 is doomed to failure. Every customer would claim to have low income in order to pay the lower entry charge and there is no obvious (or legal) method by which the club owner can enforce the higher fee.

What about the block pricing strategy of offering entry plus 12 drinks for $120 and entry plus 8 drinks for $64?...


Authors: Papall, Richards & Norman

Book: Industrial Organization: Contemporary Theory & Practice, Third Edition

Okie! I tage Khun T of the Thai Baht and Event26th of the Event26th

You didn't tage me, but I think I'll do this for you anyway. Mainly, because what the book is...

"They published the king's own candid snapshots of his family at work and play, while his home movies appeared in theater newsreels. In late 1952, a 90-minute feature using Bhumibol's own footage, depicting a contemporary middle-class family like those in Ameircan television shows, was shown around the country. It provided a distraction from wearisome politics."

That would be an excerpt from oh so controversial "The King Never Smiles" by Paul M. Handley. It was sitting here by my desk because I was trying to finish and return it to a friend. ;-)

I knew it! I knew it! A text book? *lol* Exam time, huh? :D
And they are teaching you price discrimination under the guise of Industrial Organization? Dear God! Your university is definitely doing a better job with your education than my university did with mine...:-))

I think i should consider getting another degree from Chula...:-) Hee hee!

Thanks for doing the tag.

Check it out. It is not a Text book, but at the least, it is English. That's save a lot of my typing time.

Hmm, I found an interesting tidbit on page 124 (1) during my current reading, "Andrew Carnegie" by Joseph Wall:

He who cannot reason is a fool
He who does not is a bigot
He who dares not is a slave.

(1) Yes, it's not page 123 ... call it poetic license then ;-P
