what are the prime forces for change in the bookselling industry?

Technology and ignorant Americans.  They hate to read.  The industry is currently working on knowledge downloads.  Individuals will be able to know what happened in the book without having to flip one page.  Look in the Yahoo!Labs section.  They're working on this project too, I believe.

Go find out from a source.  Ask another book store manager in another town if you can shadow them for a day.

I sell all my old books on Amazon and it's very easy to do.  You set the price yourself but you have to be prepared to parcel them up and send them.  Don't sell very heavy books like dictionaries because they set one fee for postage and it's not enough for heavy books.

They can change-I guess they need a push.

Change must come from within.

None. All professions have been changed in some form or another by IT. Even monks. And candle makers... publishers..mine workers....etc. etc. However, the Amish might be another story.

I'm not sure what your homework answer is supposed to be, but the primary changes that occurred were the expansion of consumer credit and television advertising.\n\nTV ads made products more visible to large numbers of people (consumers) and credit allowed people to buy more than they could otherwise.

You should purchase books on Branding/Marketing and communication.  Try the 22 Immutable laws by Al Ries.  Great book. PR/Ad and Marketing all tie in together.  But this is a great book to get started with.

Four forces -- the bargaining power of customers, the bargaining power of suppliers, the threat of new entrants, and the threat of substitute products -- combine with other variables to influence a fifth force, the level of competition in an industry.

Yes, because a small change in price will affect demand more.  If a product is inelastic, then the firm can charge just about anything and the demand will stay the same.

I am interested in knowing what Lewin’s Model of Change is?

Market force is where demand and supply in the market interact to affect prices.

I think the actual answer is not very much.  No matter how well-educated the consumer, most purchasing decisions are made emotionally and not intellectually.  Advertisers stopped "educating" consumers in about the 1950s.

library or book store depends which is closer.
