Executive Decision-Making at Zola
by Amy C. Edmondson Michael A. RobertoIn April 2020, Rachel Jarrett, President and COO of wedding technology company Zola, called a meeting with the organization's key decision-makers. The company had previously launched three business expansions: a vendor marketplace, a wedding apparel division, and a honeymoon-planning service. However, the March 2020 onset of COVID-19 had prompted many couples to delay or cancel their weddings, and it was unclear how long the pandemic would last. As a result, Jarrett and Zola CEO Shan-Lyn Ma knew that they could only fully invest in one of the three new businesses, while they could pursue a second business with limited funding. To decide the appropriate path forward, Jarrett and Ma sought the perspectives of the company's leadership team through a four-step decision-making process that Jarrett had developed. The process, which the team called "taking a vote," began when the key decision-maker delivered a data-driven presentation on a discrete set of options for a given strategic dilemma. Next, the team conducted an anonymous vote, followed by a discussion in which each team member explained the reasoning behind their vote. Finally, the team voted a second time on the ideal path forward. During the meeting, the Zola team must decide which business to pursue, which to continue in a limited way, and which to pause. Jarrett must also decide how to proceed if the team's opinion differed from her own.
Executive Education after the Pandemic: A Vision for the Future
by Santiago Iñiguez Peter LorangeBusiness education and executive development has been one of the most fascinating industries in the world and the fastest growing segment of higher education over the past decades. Today, it is experiencing change on a scale unprecedented since the foundation of the first business schools in the early 20th Century, both due to changes in the corporate environment and also due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across all industries. In this context how do you create world-class educational and training institutions that can cope with those challenges, and be rigorous, vocationally relevant and suited to the corporate growing needs in this new fluid world? And how do you combine the very best of traditional academic values with new learning technologies to create an educational model that is fit to compete in the global economy, threatened today by populism, nationalism and economic turmoil? Yet, as daunting as it is, some institutions have already made significant progress in the journey. In this book Santiago Iñiguez de Onzoño, President of IE University, and Peter Lorange, former President of IMD, bring together contributions from leading figures from some of the world’s major universities. They share their experiences in addressing some of the challenges that the industry faces today, such as diversity and inclusion, employability, the role of AI and the advent of innovative new platforms. Packed with case studies of successful initiatives in business education and executive training, this is a truly visionary book. Authors anticipate future trends and share their in-depth knowledge of what it takes to build world-class educational providers – and their vision of higher education in the future.
The Executive's Guide to AI and Analytics: The Foundations of Execution and Success in the New World
by Scott Burk Gary D. MinerProfessionals are challenged each day by a changing landscape of technology and terminology. In recent history, especially in the last 25 years, there has been an explosion of terms and methods that automate and improve decision-making and operations. One term called analytics is an overarching description of a compilation of methodologies. But artificial intelligence (AI), statistics, decision science, and optimization, which have been around for decades, have resurged. Also, things like business intelligence, online analytical processing (OLAP), and many others have been born or reborn. How is someone to make sense of all this methodology and terminology? This book is meant to be read by the CEO and other executive decision-makers in an organization, so that they can plan and implement a successful AI or analytics program. It builds on the information shared in It’s All Analytics! The Foundations of AI, Big Data, and Data Science Landscape for Professionals in Healthcare, Business, and Government, the first book in a series of three. The second book in this series is geared more toward the lower-level executive, manager, or analytics architect responsible for design decisions at a broad and detailed level – and others that will be involved in the implementation of a successful analytics program. But in order to do that, these personnel need the full backing of the CEO and executive decision-makers. It is appropriately focused on the business and people as well as on the technology, emphasizing the need of the CEO and related decision-makers to be fully engaged in the program, in order to be successful. It’s a quick read by senior-level managers to provide a better understanding of analytics, AI, and data science to help guide them in their decision-making process.

Exit Stage Left: The curious afterlife of pop stars
by Nick Duerden'Exit Stage Left is the book I've long wanted to read about the PTSD-like after-effects of pop stardom - and Nick Duerden is the perfect writer for the job. The pop star's bittersweet lot - the mass adoration that comes with pop stardom, followed by the bathetic comedown of what inevitably follows - is represented with flair and empathy.' - Pete Paphides, author of Broken Greek 'Fame is the brightest candle, but in this brilliant collection of interviews, Nick Duerden answers the question: what does a candle do after it's burned out?' - David QuantickFor fans of music books from David Hepworth, Pete Paphides, Bob Stanley and Craig Brown, as well as thought-provoking human interest stories like Moondust by Andrew Smith, and books by Jon Ronson, Louis Theroux and Stuart Maconie.A quirky, thought-provoking look at the curious afterlife of pop stars.Nick Duerden has spent many years interviewing the most famous musicians on the planet. Without exception, they are at their most interesting when they've peaked, and when they are on their way down. In many ways, this is when these former idols are at their most heroic, too, because they reveal themselves not only to be humane and sensitive, but also still driven to create, to fulfil their lingering dreams, to refuse to live quietly. Some sustain themselves on the nostalgia circuit. Others continue to beaver away in the studio, no longer Abbey Road so much as the garden shed. The desire for adulation is a light that never goes out. We live in a culture obsessed by the notion of fame - the heedless pursuit of it, the almost obligatory subsequent fallout. But what's it like to actually achieve it, and what's it like when fame abruptly passes, and shifts, as it does, onto someone else?These are tales of heroin addiction, bankruptcy, depression, divorce - but also of optimism, a genuine love of the craft, humility and hope. All of which makes EXIT STAGE LEFT a fascinating, laugh-out-loud funny and often shocking look at what happens when the brightest of stars fall down to earth.Featuring brand new interviews with the likes of: Bob Geldof, Shaun Ryder, Robbie Williams, Roisin Murphy, Stewart Copeland, Billy Bragg, Wendy James, Alex Kapranos, Joan Armatrading, Leo Sayer, Gary Lightbody, Lisa Maffia, Tim Booth, Bill Drummond, Rufus Wainwright, David Gray, and Justin Hawkins.(P) 2022 Headline Publishing Group Ltd
Expand: Stretching the Future By Design
by Christian Bason Jens Martin SkibstedToday, it can seem as if the world has nothing but problems. And more than ever the boundaries of those problems are expanding in terms of the speed, scale, and impact by which they can alter business conditions, public governance, entire societies, the health of our planet, and the quality of our lives. Meeting these growing challenges requires ambitious new ways of designing solutions. With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award winning designer, entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason, political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take readers beyond &“design thinking&” to challenge current habits and carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. From transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care, to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking across six key areas—time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and sectors—can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of current problems around the globe. With powerful real-world examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics, humanity, and the environment.Expand is the first book to not just critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it.The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the book that shows us how.
Expatriates – Eine verhaltensökonomische Analyse von Erfolgsfaktoren (BestMasters)
by Karishma HerbertBedeutende Megatrends wie Globalisierung und Fachkräfteengpässe bewirken, dass multinationale Unternehmen mehr Führungs- und Fachkräfte ins Ausland senden oder diese selbst aus Eigenmotivation für mehrere Monate bis Jahre im Ausland arbeiten. Eine Auslandsentsendung bietet sowohl für die Unternehmen als auch die entsandten Mitarbeiter (Expatriates) neue Chancen und Potenziale. Doch was ist für einen Expatriate wichtig, um sich erfolgreich in einem Auslandseinsatz an die neuen Umstände sowie das neue Arbeitsumfeld anzupassen und gute berufliche Leistungen zu erzielen? Dieses Buch untersucht das Thema aus der verhaltensökonomischen Perspektive und beleuchtet, welche Verhaltensaspekte der Expatriates und ihrer Unternehmen zu einem erfolgreichen Einsatz beitragen. Karishma Herbert liefert zunächst einen Überblick zu den personalwirtschaftlichen Einflussfaktoren und zeigt auf, dass eine gute Organisation sowie ein Bewusstsein und Wissen über kulturelle Differenzen und Gemeinsamkeiten wichtig sind, jedoch dies allein keinen erfolgreichen Einsatz garantiert. Vielmehr spielt das tatsächliche Verhalten der Expatriates und weiterer Stakeholder eine entscheidende Rolle.
Expatriates in Japanese Firms: Experiences and Expectations of Workers from China and Vietnam (The University of Sheffield/Routledge Japanese Studies Series)
by Chie YorozuFocusing on the experiences of foreign employees working in Japanese firms, this book identifies the trends and realities facing both expatriates and firms in the current landscape of the Japanese labour market. By utilising interview data from both expatriates and Japanese HR staff, this study identifies the fact that self-initiated expatriates often do not remain in Japanese firms for long and highlights the main factors that influence their decisions to leave; including difficulty adjusting to Japan’s lifetime employment system, seniority-based pay, and the prevalence of unpaid overtime. The book reveals that whilst Japanese firms are adjusting to improve the retention of foreign employees, there remains a clear expectation gap between the two sides. Moreover, it outlines further potential adjustments that could be implemented to reduce the turnover rate of expatriates and create a more harmonious workplace both for expatriates and for local employees. This is an urgent challenge for Japan as it faces labour shortages. Featuring an in-depth exploration of first-hand experiences from direct testimonies of expatriates in Japanese firms, this book will be a valuable resource for academics and students of Japanese studies, human resource management, and organisation studies.

Explaining Wealth Inequality: Property, Possession and Policy Reform (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy)
by Benedict AtkinsonThis book discusses the origins of wealth inequality and explains how societies can reform to avoid the catastrophe of inequality-induced social breakdown. It develops a theoretical and practical understanding of the principles behind the concept of ownership and property, complete with historical examples. It proposes a new research perspective focusing on how the problem of wealth concentration is ameliorated by cooperative and collaborative initiatives to enhance the public sphere, without derogating from the private. The book is based on research data compiled from taxation and household data to explore the theme that wealth inequality is made inevitable by possessive behaviour expressed in possessive language. It shows that while inequality is inescapable, we can adopt policies where resources are more efficiently and broadly distributed for public benefit. Such policies are directed towards encouraging voluntary, as opposed to compulsory, wealth transfer to achieve public good. The primary market for the book consists of academics and students from the fields of economics, including growth and developmental economics, law, sociology, history, business and international trade. It also provides a practical resource for government policy analysts wanting to develop a more detailed understanding of the role played by wealth inequality in a range of social problems.
Exploring Desirable Futures for L1 Education and Teachers’ Literacies in a Digital Age: A German-Australian Delphi Study
by Carina AscherlRapidly evolving digital technologies are reciprocally linked to the way people think, learn, generate knowledge, create, communicate, and collaborate in the digital age. These media-communicative and related sociocultural changes must be acknowledged in the educational context. The aim of the present study is, from a transnational perspective, to investigate experts’ anticipated L1 education futures in 2030 and teachers’ literacies deemed necessary in this context. The research aims are addressed through an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design reflected in the application of a three-round modified Delphi study. The panel is drawn from individuals who are considered experts at the intersection of (L1) education and digitalisation and are selected on their theoretical or applied expertise and their interest in the issue under investigation. It becomes clear that the experts emphasised the need for transformations regarding traditional structures, practices, and processes of teaching and learning by 2030, specifically given contemporary practices and forms of learning, thinking, and working in the digital age.
