<title>Graphic Design Services</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3217.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US graphic design services industry includes about 16,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $8 billion. No major companies dominate the industry, which is highly fragmented: the 50 largest firms account for less than 20 percent of overall revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Regional economic activity drives demand, because most graphic design firms are small and work locally. The profitability of individual companies depends on accurate bidding, timely delivery of projects, and a steady volume of work. Large companies have advantages in marketing and sales, breadth of services, delivery of complex projects, and supporting ongoing contracts. Small companies can compete effectively by responding quicker, adopting new trends, and specializing by services or markets. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $130,000.   Customers and prospects become competitors when they bring design services in-house rather than hire graphic design firms. Freelance designers may be competitors or contract labor.

<title>Private Schools K-12</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3202.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[About 27,000 private primary and secondary schools operate in the US with combined annual revenue of $25 billion. About 80 percent of these schools are affiliated with religious organizations, 30 percent with the Roman Catholic Church. While most private schools are tax-exempt, nonprofit entities, some operate on a for-profit basis.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by perceived inadequacies in the public school system. The success of an individual school depends largely on its reputation for quality. Large schools can offer a wider range of instruction and have some economies of scale. Small schools can be successful by providing instruction in a special field. Schools are highly labor-intensive.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Private schools provide primary and secondary education through a curriculum that is similar to that in public schools. About 60 percent of private schools provide education only through the primary grades (from kindergarten through the fifth or sixth grades); 10 percent provide only ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[The US book publishing industry consists of about 2,600 companies with combined annual revenue of $30 billion. Major companies include John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Scholastic, as well as publishing units of large media companies such as HarperCollins (owned by News Corp.); Random House (owned by Bertelsmann); and Simon & Schuster (owned by CBS). The industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies generate about 80 percent of revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for books is driven by demographics and is largely resistant to economic cycles. The profitability of individual companies depends on product development and marketing. Large publishers have an advantage in bidding for new manuscripts or authors. Small and midsized publishers can succeed if they focus on a specific subject or market.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Publishers produce books for general reading (adult "trade" books); text, professional, technical, children's, and reference books.

<description> <![CDATA[The US colleges and universities industry includes about 4,300 degree-granting institutions with combined annual revenue of approximately $400 billion. Sixty percent of industry revenue is generated by state-operated public schools, 40 percent by private schools.  Some 1,700 schools are public, another 1,600 are private nonprofit institutions, and about 1,000 are for-profit private schools. Close to 75 percent of students are enrolled in public schools. Mainly because of big state universities, the industry is concentrated: 50 percent of all students are enrolled in the 400 largest schools. About 60 percent of students (including graduate students) are enrolled in four-year schools, 40 percent are in two-year (junior or community) colleges.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for higher education services is largely driven by population dynamics, but also by employer requirements. The financial success of schools is closely related to the number of students enrolled, because many costs are fixed. Public schools have the advantage of public funding ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[The US commercial printing industry includes about 35,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $100 billion. Major companies include RR Donnelley and the US operations of Canada-based World Color Press (formerly Quebecor World). The industry is fragmented: the largest 50 companies account for about 30 percent of revenue.  The commercial printing industry includes printing on apparel and textile products, paper, metal, glass, and plastics; it also includes typesetting, platemaking, and book binding. Book publishing, magazine publishing, and newspaper publishing are covered in separate industry profiles.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by advertising and product needs of business customers. The profitability of individual companies is closely linked to effective sales operations. Large companies have scale advantages in buying materials like paper and ink, serving large customers with regional or national needs, and making efficient use of expensive presses. Small companies can compete effectively by offering better local service in a specific product category. ]]></description>

<title>Community Colleges</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3190.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[About 1,100 community colleges in the US receive combined annual revenue of $25 billion. Ninety percent of community colleges are publicly operated and 10 percent are operated by private, nonprofit institutions. Slightly less than half of all undergraduate students in the US are enrolled in community colleges. The typical college has 4,000 students and 400 employees, roughly 60 percent of whom are faculty.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for services depends on the demographic composition of the communities that surround a school. Because most are state-mandated institutions, community colleges often have some leeway in balancing their budgets. There is little competition among schools, because admission is usually restricted to residents of surrounding communities. A large proportion of students are part-time.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Community colleges offer mainly two-year programs of study that prepare students either for transfer to a four-year college or university, or for direct entry into the workforce; they also offer continuing education ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[The US magazine publishing industry includes about 1,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $40 billion. Large companies include PRIMEDIA, Meredith, and the magazine divisions of diversified media companies such as Time Warner and The Washington Post Company. While the total number of magazines published in the US is greater than 10,000, only about 2,000 have significant circulation. The industry is concentrated: the 50 largest companies generate about 70 percent of revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for magazines is driven largely by growth in consumer income. The profitability of individual companies depends highly on marketing expertise. Small companies can compete by specializing in niche topics and markets, while larger companies benefit from a wide selection of magazine titles to offer advertisers. Large companies also have economies of scale in production and distribution. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is $120,000.

Large companies include Gannett, McClatchy, Advance Publications, Tribune Company, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. The industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies control almost 80 percent of the market. Many of the larger companies also own and operate TV stations.   A few newspapers, including the  The Wall Street Journal, USA Today,  and  The   New York Times , have daily circulation greater than 1 million, but most have circulation under 50,000. The combined daily circulation of US newspapers is just under 55 million.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  The health of the economy drives both advertising and readership. The profitability of individual companies depends on marketing expertise, as most costs are fixed. Large companies benefit from economies of scale in sharing resources and by providing a range of outlets for advertisers. Small publishers can compete successfully by ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[About 17,000 US public school districts with 95,000 schools provide education for 50 million K-12 students and have a combined annual budget of $350 billion. School districts vary greatly in size. The 100 largest school districts serve nearly 25 percent of all students.  Private schools, colleges and universities, and education and training services are covered in separate industry profiles.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by population demographics. The success of individual schools depends on funding, the ability to attract effective teachers, and student performance; parental support can be a contributing factor. Schools in affluent communities may receive more local funding support and be able to offer a wider range of instruction.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Public schools provide education in basic subjects through a curriculum that is relatively similar in all schools. Students are usually grouped by age.

<description> <![CDATA[Business Today is a pioneer in ranking management programmes, having carried out India&rsquo;s first B-school survey in 1998. BT&rsquo;s survey sets itself apart from the rest of the pack primarily because of its methodology. It eschews difficultto-verify parameters&mdash;like number of computers per student or number of academic papers published by faculty. The one major trend in our survey this year is namely, the ascent of what are generally known as &ldquo;Tier II&rdquo; schools. These are institutions that don&rsquo;t have the same sheen or credentials of the elite IIMs, or even an XLRI&mdash;but instead offer different, compelling value propositions for your average student today.
