Sinopsis

Global Trade explores the intricate web of international trade, revealing how it underpins the modern world economy. From the evolution of trade networks like the Silk Road to today's sophisticated supply chains, the book traces how trade agreements and shipping logistics shape societies and international relations. Readers will gain insights into the fundamental principles driving global trade, such as comparative advantage, and how technological advancements like containerization have revolutionized the movement of goods. The book examines the practical aspects of global trade, analyzing its impact on labor markets and environmental conditions. It delves into the challenges posed by protectionism and geopolitical tensions, offering a balanced perspective on the benefits and drawbacks of globalization. By connecting history, economics, and political science, Global Trade provides a framework for understanding current events and debates surrounding trade deficits and tariff wars.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the foundational principles of international trade theory. It then examines the practical aspects of global trade, including shipping and supply chain management, before assessing the current state of global trade and its future, considering technological innovation and climate change. This approach equips students, policymakers, and business professionals with the analytical tools needed to navigate the complexities of the 21st-century economy.

    Alison Shamir was at the top of her game—corporate leadership role, large salary, financial freedom—when a crippling panic attack almost brought her to her knees. Fraud. Deceiver. Imposter. In her mind, she had faked her way into her position, and it was only a matter of time before she was “found out.” But guess what? None of it was true. 
    During her mission to understand her anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, Alison discovered Imposter Syndrome, and the pieces all fell into place. Finally, her life made sense. She wasn’t alone—and neither are you. 
    Conquer Your Imposter™ is a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. Through her personal story, eye-opening anecdotes, and practical tools and research, Alison—now a global leading expert on the Imposter Phenomenon with over a decade of experience—guides you to understand and conquer your own unfounded fear, doubt, and anxious feelings of not being “good enough.” 
    Don’t let your inner imposter hold you back anymore. It’s time to take back control and unleash the most authentic, empowered, and unapologetically confident version of you. 
    It’s Time to Conquer Your Imposter For Good.

    An everyday introduction to the most consequential science of modern life.University of Chicago economist Gary Becker won the Nobel Prize largely for his advancement of human capital theory—the idea that investing in a person’s knowledge and skills has a wide range of economic effects. Becker’s writing on the subject was technical, but his teaching, especially in his famous doctoral course at Chicago, remains legendary for its accessibility, brilliance, and applications to everyday life.In Human Capital for Humans, economist and former Becker student Pablo A. Peña channels this classroom approach to produce an accessible, essential guide to understanding the science that has become synonymous with modern life and the economy. With an illustrative and immersive style, Peña unpacks the human capital approach to domains such as parenting, aging, marriage, health, and household labor. The result is not only intellectually elevated, but an essential introduction for learners and teachers of this subject across business, management, economics, policy, and beyond.

    As President and CEO at Scripps Health, one of Americas  most prestigious health systems, Chris Van Gorder has presided over  a dramatic turnaround, catapulting Scripps from near bankruptcy to  a dominant market position. While hospitals and health systems  nationwide have laid people off or are closing their doors, Scripps  is financially healthy, has added almost 5,000 employees, and has  developed a reputation as a marquee employer, recognized year after  year by Fortune Magazine, Working Mother, the AARP,  and othersas a Best Places to Work. What are the  secrets to this remarkable story, and what can other leaders and  businesses learn from Van Gorders success as a  leader?  Van Gorder traces his track record to his background as a  California police officer, and The Frontline  Leader shares the leadership techniques learned from his  service, grounded in the philosophy of responsibility, honesty, and  public service learned as a member of the force. Police work is  about protecting the community, making it a better place, educating  citizens, developing warm and caring relationships, and ultimately  doing the right thing, not the convenient thing, so as to give  citizens someone to look up to and believe in. Businesses  who follow these same principles lay the groundwork for  lasting sucecss.     As much as companies talk about accountability and spend millions  on corporate social responsibility programs, managers  seldom understand what practical steps to take for an ethic of  service that makes accountability meaningful. The  Frontline Leader exposes readers to specific tactics and  implementation steps they can use starting today to take  responsibility, inspire others, achieve breakout results for their  organization and move up into higher positions. By understanding  and deploying these steps, readers learn that cultivating a deep  personal practice of accountability isnt just the right  thing to do but also the most effective and profitable path a  leader can take. They understand that daily practices that seem  unrelated to the running of organizations can in fact confer  surprising business advantage. Armed with these techniques, The  Frontline Leader will help anyone become a better leader.

    The pressure to "be digital" has never been greater. 
     
     
      
    The digital revolution is here. It's changing how work gets done, how industries are structured, and how people from all walks of life work, behave and relate to each other. To thrive in a world driven by data and powered by algorithms, we must learn to see, think, and act in new ways. We need to develop a digital mindset. 
     
     
     
    But what does that mean? Some fear it means that in the near future we will all need to become technologists who master the intricacies of coding, algorithms, AI, machine learning, robotics, and who knows what's next. 
     
      
     
    This book introduces three approaches—Collaboration, Computation, Change—that you need for a digital mindset, and the perspectives and actions within each approach that will enable you to develop digital skills you need. With the digital mindset, you can ask the right questions, make smart decisions and appreciate new possibilities for a digital future. Leaders who adopt these approaches will be able to develop their organization's talent to prepare their company for successful and continued digital transformation. 
     
     
      
    The surprising and welcome secret is that developing a digital mindset isn't as hard as we think. Most people can become digitally savvy if they follow the "30% rule," or the minimum threshold that gives us just enough digital literacy to understand and take advantage of the digital fabric woven into our world.
