From the new publication Taking the Landscape by Jason Kulpa, he presents six preemptive plans for localities that are sure to create revenue for both the city and the homeowner Jason Kulpa. Although this book does not deal with all the issues regarding standing up a government company, it is a valuable guide to localities contemplating taking preemptive action in terms of their budgets. The approaches presented here provide a very clear overview of the hurdles that must be overcome for the new administration to successfully execute their plans. In addition, the information provided here can help individuals who are thinking about investing in a new small business or community venture to take preemptive steps to make certain they won’t be taken over by a larger competitor.
One of the main topics of this book is that new smaller businesses will need to undertake a preemptive position even if they’re technologically”supporting” the curve by with a proven track record. The simple fact is that many market entrants are simply waiting for the regulatory environment to catch them up. If they wait too long, then they risk being squeezed out of business before their period. This is why some have turned into buying existing companies in hopes of being able to accelerate growth even quicker. On the other hand, the fact is that nearly all of the market leaders who create new jobs and consumer collections are actually flying solo – they do not depend on any one company because of their achievement.
A second of these preemptive plans presented in Jason Kulpa’s book accounts for the importance of public health in boosting economic growth. There is strong evidence that localities which have a strong public health infrastructure are actually doing better economically than those without. Some cities have seen rapid increases in per capita income only as a consequence of the introduction of comprehensive public health plans. 1 example of this could be Seattle, that has implemented a strategy that focuses on chronic disease prevention and therapy. Additionally, studies have found that if healthy individuals are more conscious of the health and not as likely to visit the doctor when they’re sick, neighborhood businesses boom as more individuals can cover the higher costs for locally produced products.
A third chapter in the book examines the role that innovation plays in economic growth. Jason Kulpa rightly argues that innovation can be a powerful preemptive weapon against the forces that discourage businesses from investing in new facilities. He points out that innovation is particularly important in low-income and minority areas since the interests of those classes are often not represented by existing power structures in the communities. He recommends investing in localities that will attract new businesses with pro-business attitudes. This may be accomplished through tax incentives, targeted endowments or other kinds of preemption.
The fourth chapter looks at the various techniques preemption can be applied in different settings. These include company control and possession, worker compensation and worker demographics. This book does paint a vivid picture of the challenges which localities face in trying to bring forward the advantages of these preemptive strategies as employee safety and public health initiatives. Take a peek at the range of issues that need to be addressed is presented with this investigation.
While the book rightly emphasizes the idea that preemptive strategies often offer great opportunity for cities looking to maximize their economic vitality, it also has some serious limitations. For instance, it is so easy to misunderstand how and why certain businesses are being targeted by these kinds of moves. Also, a closer examination of some of those unintended consequences revealed in this investigation could have been better had Jason Kulpa not resorted to using scare quotes to describe what he saw as an acceptable outcome. The analysis does provide some useful insight to the reasons that some industrial businesses are threatened with the loss of market share. However, these problems are addressed through comprehensive coverages which do not threaten the stability of those industries, nor do they offer some promise of economic growth.
