Sinossi

Auction Scandals explores the often-hidden world of art auction fraud and market manipulation. It reveals how practices like shill bidding, where auctioneers artificially inflate prices, and bid rigging, where bidders collude to suppress prices, can undermine the integrity of the art market. The book argues that the subjective nature of art valuation, combined with a lack of transparency, makes the market vulnerable to corruption. Understanding these issues is crucial for anyone involved in art investment or collection. The book systematically uncovers the various schemes employed to deceive buyers and sellers, drawing on legal cases, investigative reports, and auction data analysis to expose patterns of fraud. It also examines the ethical implications and potential conflicts of interest involving auction house staff, consignors, and artists. Readers will gain valuable insights into identifying red flags, mitigating risks, and advocating for increased transparency. As the book progresses, it moves from foundational concepts to specific examples of fraud and practical guidance.

    The best of Peter F. Drucker's articles on management, all in one place. 
     
     
     
    That "management" exists as a concept, a practice, and a profession is largely due to the thinking of Peter F. Drucker. For nearly half a century, he inspired and educated managers—and powerfully shaped the nature of business—with his iconic articles in Harvard Business Review. 
     
     
     
    Through the lens of Drucker's broad vision, this volume presents an opportunity to trace the great shifts in organizations in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries—from manufacturing to knowledge work, from career-length employee tenures to short-term contract relationships, from command-and-control structures to flatter organizations that call for new leadership techniques. 
     
     
     
    These articles also offer a firm and practical grasp of the role of the manager and the executive today—their responsibilities, their relationships, their decisions, and detailed processes that can make their work more effective. 
     
     
     
    A celebrated thinker at his best, in this volume Drucker paints a clear and comprehensive picture of management thinking and practice—both as it is and as it will be.

    This radical and rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice. 
     
    Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for a solid business education that also deeply aligns with their progressive values. Based on a course field-tested with over 500 students, this book fills that gap. It covers traditional topics such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. And it also touches on topics such as strategies to reverse climate change, nonviolent communication, self-managing organizations, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more.  
     
    Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution-and they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too incremental to make a sufficient impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It draws on the authors' experience of working with over 300 social enterprises, from small organizations like Winona's Hemp and Heritage Farm to household names like Ben & Jerry's and Patagonia. 
     
    Our current economy, what the authors call the "Business as Usual Economy," has created a massive wealth gap, a climate crisis, racial division, and needless housing, food, and healthcare shortages. This book shows how businesses can pave the way to a Next Economy that meets the basic needs of all people and restores and protects the planetary ecosystem.
