by V. Kasturi RanganIn 2003, the $654 million American Heart Association (AHA) approached Cone, Inc. (a brand and communications agency) to develop a corporate sponsorship strategy that would raise $75 million over three years.

Traces the development of the relationship between Cone and the AHA and the development of the Go Red For Women campaign. Challenges students to assess the success of Go Red and its impact on the AHA and its goals. Concludes by summarizing three of the AHA's other health initiatives and questions the appropriate role for the AHA and cause marketing.

Go Slow and Curvy
by Dehyun Sohn Hee-Jung Jang Timothy JungThis book introduces readers to the concepts of sustainability and philosophy of slowness for the management of public entities such as cities or regions. While many urban communities face economic challenges that clearly show the limitations of growth and ever-increasing speed, this book explores an alternative, thought-provoking standpoint in five chapters. The first chapter explains the importance and essence of slowness, smallness and sustainability for public organizations, while the second addresses the concept of "slow life" in an emotional society. Chapter three examines the issue of "slow management" and presents arguments for the value of small businesses as the true foundation of the economy. Chapter four rounds out the coverage with a focus on agriculture. Finally, in chapter five, the authors discuss the overall benefits of a "slow and curvy" management style in order to provide happiness, economic and social sustainability.

Go Where There Is No Path: Stories of Hustle, Grit, Scholarship, and Faith
by Mim Eichler Rivas Christopher GrayFor all who dare to go off the beaten track, this is the inspirational, power-packed playbook for transforming your life and your world—from a young, Black social entrepreneur whose dorm-room tech startup has helped millions pay for college and access unprecedented opportunity. Gray, the son of a single working mother who had him at age fourteen, grew up in deep poverty in Birmingham, Alabama. An academic star, he had every qualification for attending a top college—except for the financial means. Desperate, Gray headed off the beaten path, searching online to apply for every scholarship he could find. His hustle resulted in awards of 1.3 million dollars and became his call to action to help other students win their own “schollys.” It inspired him to start up Scholly, an app that matches college applicants with millions of dollars in outside scholarships that often go unclaimed. When he was a senior at Drexel University, he appeared on Shark Tank as CEO of Scholly. In the most heated fight in the show’s history, the sharks challenged Gray as to whether his app was a charity or a profitable business. Both, he insisted, proposing a new paradigm for social entrepreneurship and netting deals from Lori Grenier and Daymond John. At the time Scholly’s subscriber base was 90,000 users. Today the app has 4 million subscribers who have won scholarships totaling more than $100 million. Meanwhile, Gray—without help from the mostly all-white boy’s club of Silicon Valley—has emerged as a tech startup superhero now tackling the crisis of student debt with innovative, unrivaled strategies. Gray’s premise is that when you lead with the good—confronting issues such as poverty and racism—the money will follow. His story is proof that when you develop a mindset for success, you turn disadvantages into gold. And when you create opportunities for others, you enrich the marketplace for yourself too. Gray shows us, we can carve out new paths to better days and leave trails for others.

How did a bunch of rich dudes who run corporate America become the tools of left-wing radicals? Intimidated by activists on the left, virtually every major corporation in America has embraced woke politics. For years, these businesses could get away with progressive virtual signaling without worrying about alienating customers. Then the anti-woke counter-offensive movement arrived. As high-profile, disastrous backlashes at companies like Anheuser-Busch, Disney, Target and other companies reveal, companies who cave to the demands of left-wing social justice activists are being punished like never before. Customers are fighting back and taking their money elsewhere. In Go Woke, Go Broke, New York Times bestselling author and veteran financial journalist Charles Gasparino calls out the nonsense and takes readers inside the radicalization of corporate America, based on numerous insider interviews and exclusive reporting. The story is wilder than you can imagine. Gasparino introduces readers to America&’s most woke corporate leaders, tracing the origins of ESG and "stakeholder investing.&” He takes readers along on for a rollicking ride through corporate America as he shines a light, unlike anyone else, on Fortune 500 companies that have suffered for caving to the silly and irresponsible demands of social justice activists and left-wing interests. A respected financial reporter who has covered finance for more than 30 years, Gasparino is deeply sourced and has dug into countless episodes involving Wall Street greed, corporate hubris, and government overreach in enterprise. This explosive, untold story and in-depth examination of the seminal players, institutions, and forces of the markets shows that, for the sake of global stability, we must immediately pry the clenched fists of radical activists off the levers of the economy.

The Goals of Macroeconomic Policy
by Martin PrachownyPoliticians win elections by promising 'Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!' but in practice these promises quickly fall by the wayside. The Goals of Macroeconomic Policy asks why. It begins with the observation that there is no convincing economic argument that full employment should be the primary objective of economic policy in all circumstances. In the light of this it examines whcy policy has failed so consistantly. It explains this by a theory of the labour market which shows why most workers are happy to operate in a way which militates against full employment. It then proceeds to analyse the rather dire consequences of this for the budget deficit.

GOATONOMICS - HOW OUR FAITH DETERMINES OUR SHARE OF THE ROAST
by Axel Reimann Jenny WadeHow about a totally new perspective on the economy? In a market economy, we all get what we deserve. At least, that’s what we believe. But more confusion reigns now than ever: who actually decides how big our share of the roast goat will be? Market laws or a curious arrangement construed by the powers that be? Axel Reimann explains why more and more people are questioning their faith in the economy and what impact that may ultimately have. In a humorous, vivid, and unconventional style, he reveals how the economy in Western cultures is on the verge of secularisation, what our overnight bank accounts have to do with world peace, and why it would be hell on earth if we no longer had anything to worry about. He also tackles why property needs priests, and how Franz Beckenbauer came to autograph pictures of Ayatollah Khomeini. A new perspective on the economy - humorous and descriptive. An unusual evaluation of how we deal with money.

Gobernanza inteligente para el siglo XXI: Una vía intermedia entre Occidente y Oriente
by Nicolas Berggruen Nathan Gardels¿Cuál es la mejor forma de gobernar un mundo en profunda transformación? Un libro que analiza la unión de las mejores prácticas de gobierno en Oriente y Occidente como fórmula para afrontar los desafíos de la globalización Durante décadas la democracia liberal ha sido aplaudida como el mejor de los posibles sistemas de gobernanza. Sin embargo, esa categórica afirmación está hoy lejos de ser incuestionable. La democracia, en crisis en Occidente, debe probar su vigencia. En Occidente, argumentan Berggruen y Gardels, ya no vivimos en «democracias industriales», sino en «democracias consumistas» en las que se impone el cortoplacismo. En contraste, la visión a largo plazo de los líderes chinos empuja a su nación hacia el futuro. Pero China también se enfrenta a desafíos derivados de su meteórico ascenso. Su floreciente clase media cada vez exigirá más participación, mejores mecanismos de control de la responsabilidad política, elfreno a la corrupción y la ampliación del imperio de la ley. A medida que el siglo XXI avance, estos dos sistemas deberán competir con un mundo auténticamente multipolar en el que ninguna potencia domina en solitario. Para hacer frente a estos retos es necesario un nuevo sistema de «gobernanza inteligente» que delegue el poder e implique verdaderamente a los ciudadanos en las cuestiones que los afectan. Este oportuno libro es una guía tanto conceptual como práctica de los desafíos a los que se enfrenta la buena gobernanza en un mundo que se verá sometido a una profunda transformación en las próximas décadas. Comentarios:«Se sabe poco sobre los más recientes acontecimientos en China, en particular sobre el modo de pensar de los nuevos dirigentes chinos. En este libro, Nicolas Berggruen y Nathan Gardels resumen el pensamiento de algunas de las nuevas corrientes político-intelectuales que influencian a la generación que se aproxima al poder. Después de una exitosa transformación económica y de la creciente presencia de China en el mundo, será necesario adaptar el #socialismo armonioso#, propuesto por los nuevos dirigentes, a formas de cooperación internacional que permitan mayores convergencias entre Oriente y Occidente.»Fernando Henrique Cardoso, expresidente de Brasil «Un libro brillantemente agudo y provocador sobre el tema central de nuestro tiempo: la gobernanza efectiva. Las democracias y los sistemas autocráticos se encuentran en peligro de fracasar a gran escala. Berggruen y Gardels nos invitan valientemente, a nosotros y a la siguiente generación, a abordar este problema de frente, con humildad y con la mente abierta.»Michael Spence, premio Nobel de Economía, expresidente de la Comisión de Crecimiento y Desarrollo y autor de La convergencia inevitable «Berggruen y Gardels aportan una valiosísima visión de por qué nuestras democracias occidentales se han vuelto tan disfuncionales. Afirman que a menos que desarrollemos una perspectiva de gobernanza a largo plazo, la #democracia de consumo# actual socavará su propio futuro. Un brillante punto de partida para un debate que se necesita con urgencia: el de cómo nos gobernamos en esta nueva era.»Arianna Huffington, directora, Huffington Post/AOL «Berggruen y Gardels ofrecen una perspectiva poco convencional acerca de lo que debería significar la buena gobernanza en el siglo XXI, yendo más allá de las manidas explicaciones del tipo #Oriente contra Occidente# y ofreciendo algo mucho más convincente y pragmático».Eric Schmidt, presidente ejecutivo de Google
Gobi Partners: Raising Fund II
by Ann Leamon G. Felda HardymonThe three founding partners of Gobi Partners, a venture capital fund investing in early start IT and digital media companies in China, are planning to raise a second fund. The first $51.75 million fund is close to being entirely invested and the portfolio companies are doing well, with two having raised subsequent financings at significantly increased valuations. The firm itself has increased its headcount and opened a second office, but it has not, however, exited any of its companies. How much money should the partners hope to raise, and from whom? The stakes are high, as none of them has taken a paycheck in three years.
