Ira Neimark, former CEO of Bergdorf Goodman, succinctly delivers guidance on becoming a success in A Retailer s Lifetime of Lessons Learned. A new release from GamePlan Press, it builds on Neimark s two business memoirs, Crossing Fifth Avenue to Bergdorf Goodman and The Rise of Fashion and Lessons Learned at Bergdorf Goodman. Neimark brought haute couture to Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1970s, expanded the women s store three times, and built the largest men s store on Fifth Avenue in New York. During his 17 years at the helm, he increased store revenue from $35 million annually to $250 million, and it has continued to grow. Introduced by colorful stories from the life of the legendary retail executive, the guidance falls into four major categories: career, leadership, merchandizing, and public relations. Samples of Neimark s wisdom include: On career, "It is not so much in what you know, but in how you execute what you know. Another is Get your foot in the door." On leadership, "Motivating an organization with a bleak past and present requires enthusiasm and courage. Make everyone in the organization know what the plan is in broad detail. Outline to the managers of the business the overall plan in greater detail. And be consistently consistent." On Merchandising, "Slow moving and old inventory will strangle any business, no matter how many management changes are made." On Public Relations, "Releasing the same story to all the press at one time may be safe, beneficial and diplomatic, but again, media outlets like all businesses want to be first. You must select the medium that best serves your market."

A Book Sense Pick and Annual HighlightWith a New AfterwordIn less than two decades, large retail chains have become the most powerful corporations in America. In this deft and revealing book, Stacy Mitchell illustrates how mega-retailers are fueling many of our most pressing problems, from the shrinking middle class to rising pollution and diminished civic engagement—and she shows how a growing number of communities and independent businesses are effectively fighting back. Mitchell traces the dramatic growth of mega-retailers—from big boxes like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Costco, and Staples to chains like Starbucks, Olive Garden, Blockbuster, and Old Navy—and the precipitous decline of independent businesses. Drawing on examples from virtually every state in the country, she unearths the extraordinary impact of these companies and the big-box mentality on everything from soaring gasoline consumption to rising poverty rates, failing family farms, and declining voting levels. Along the way, Mitchell exposes the shocking role government policy has played in the expansion of mega-retailers and builds a compelling case that communities composed of many small, locally owned businesses are healthier and more prosperous than those dominated by a few large chains. More than a critique, Big-Box Swindle provides an invigorating account of how some communities have successfully countered the spread of big boxes and rebuilt their local economies. Since 2000, more than two hundred big-box development projects have been halted by groups of ordinary citizens, and scores of towns and cities have adopted laws that favor small-scale, local business development and limit the proliferation of chains. From cutting-edge land-use policies to innovative cooperative small-business initiatives, Mitchell offers communities concrete strategies that can stave off mega-retailers and create a more prosperous and sustainable future.

Five-and-ten stores were immensely popular during the middle of the twentieth century, selling cheap, dependable goods to people from all walks of life. Now the product of a bygone era, these stores were revolutionary in their time, but few today appreciate how important they were in creating our present-day consumer culture. In this sensitive yet honest look at one of the best-known chains of five-and-tens, Jason Togyer traces the history of the G. C. Murphy Company, headquartered in McKeesport, Pennsylvania.Though not the largest chain, nor the first, Murphy’s is remembered today as a commercial trailblazer—a corporation run with honesty and integrity, and, at its peak, a retailer whose more than five hundred stores managed to outsell those of the giant F. W. Woolworth Company by a factor of three to one. Making extensive use of both the company archives and anecdotes from former employees and customers, McKeesport native Togyer re-creates with outstanding detail the world in which the G. C. Murphy Company emerged; its survival and growth during the Great Depression; its response to a strained economy during World War II; its fight against rapidly expanding competitors, such as Kmart; its struggle and recovery in the 1970s; and its unsuccessful battle to stave off Wall Street raiders in the 1980s.Though modern-day shoppers may not know the Murphy name, they know its legacy. From its adventurous selling tactics to its strict code of corporate ethics, the G. C. Murphy Company should be remembered not as a dusty relic, but as a pioneer in the American business world.
