Economic & Financial Crises -...

Fredrich Hazelton

This book contains the following titles: 
- The 2023 Inflation Surge: The year 2023 witnessed an unprecedented surge in inflation across multiple global economies, challenging both policymakers and citizens. This inflationary spike had far-reaching implications, reshaping how individuals and businesses approach spending, saving, and investment. For many, the cost of living soared, driven by rising prices on essential goods and services. The effects were not limited to any one region; they were felt in both developed and emerging economies, exacerbating the economic struggles that had already been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions. 
  
- The Collapse of the Soviet Union: The Soviet Union, once the most powerful socialist state on the planet, dominated global politics and economics for much of the 20th century. From its establishment in 1922 until its disintegration in 1991, the USSR stood as a superpower, rivaling the United States in military strength, technological innovation, and ideological influence. The Soviet Union was not just a political entity; it was the manifestation of a grand vision of socialist governance that sought to reshape the world. Its rise to power was marked by revolution, war, and the forging of a unique socio-economic structure that stood in stark contrast to the capitalist world.

Leadership from Bad to Worse -...

Barbara Kellerman

Leadership from Bad to Worse is about how leadership that is bad, invariably, inexorably, gets worse—unless it is somehow, by someone or something, stopped or slowed. 
 
 
 
This work draws on four cases of bad leadership—two in political leadership, two in business leadership—to show how it goes from bad to worse. Kellerman finds that bad leadership and bad followership go through four phases of development: 1) Onward and Upward; 2) Followers Join In; 3) Leaders Start In; and 4) Bad to Worse. These findings correctly suggest that the book, in addition to being of theoretical interest, is of practical import. It is intended, deliberately, to serve as an early warning system. By breaking bad leadership and followership into phases—each more ominous and ultimately dangerous than the one preceding—their progression will be easier to predict and detect. And easier, therefore, to slow or, preferably, to stop before they turn toxic. 
 
 
 
Bad leadership is a social disease. But unlike diseases that are physical or psychological, it remains at the margins of our collective concerns. Leadership from Bad to Worse is, then, a corrective. Knowing that bad leadership can be checked before it corrupts is knowing that bad and then worse can be, if not completely precluded, then sometimes short-circuited.

The Shocking Truth about Fast Food

Zoey Fraisers

Fast food has become an undeniable part of modern life. With its convenience, affordability, and widespread availability, it has transformed the way people eat, shaping diets and lifestyles across the globe. What started as a quick solution for busy individuals has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry, influencing everything from public health to the environment. But behind the brightly lit signs, enticing advertisements, and tempting flavors lies a deeper reality—one that has serious consequences for both individuals and society as a whole.
The rise of fast food culture has been fueled by an increasingly fast-paced world. People are working longer hours, juggling responsibilities, and seeking quick, inexpensive meals. Fast food chains capitalize on this need, offering ready-to-eat meals that promise satisfaction with minimal effort. The industry has evolved to cater to nearly every demographic, from children enticed by colorful packaging and toys to adults looking for a quick bite on the way to work. Over time, fast food has become more than just a meal option; it is a deeply ingrained habit for millions.
However, convenience often comes at a cost. While fast food may be easy and affordable, its impact on health is alarming. The high levels of fat, sugar, sodium, and artificial ingredients in most fast food items contribute to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. Many consumers remain unaware of the true nutritional content of what they are eating, often misled by clever marketing and misleading health claims. The illusion of “healthy” fast food options often masks the reality that even so-called better choices are still processed, high in calories, and lacking essential nutrients.

The Great Digital Transformation...

Gerard Szatvanyi

Dare to dream

What does it take to digitally transform? Szatvanyi is aware of the obstacles, and he doesn’t shy away from tough topics in the retail space, including the challenges surrounding stores and misunderstandings about remote work. Rather, in an approachable “around the fireplace” style, he extends his hand and invites readers to sit back with him and dream. After all, with the technologies available today, the possibilities are nearly endless. Szatvanyi points out that the starting line is not a budget review or the development of a to-do list. Rather, it’s a thinking exercise; a conversation, if you will, about what could be.
In his pragmatic way, Szatvanyi turns the complicated topic of digital transformation into easy-to-digest segments. What other strategy allows you to play video games for a few hours and try on headsets? Yet that’s exactly what Szatvanyi advises. Doing so can help readers understand the potential of these technologies. After engaging in up-and-coming channels, it’s often easier to imagine ways to use them to interact with customers. With personal examples and case studies sprinkled throughout, readers shift from thinking about new ways to live and work to seeing them in action.

Szatvanyi lays out:

• What digital transformation is
• How to be customer-centric
• Ways to create mobile experiences
• The purpose of on-the-ground stores
• How to engage in video
• Guidelines to give employees meaningful tasks
• Ways to reimagine remote work
• What to know about headless commerce
• How to target a niche market
• Why building a community matters
• How to capture data the right way
• Best practices for setting up teams and systems
