Summary

This anthology explores the international labor movements building worker solidarity across the Global South.

Building Global Labor Solidarity in a Time of Accelerating Globalization is a call for international solidarity to resist the assaults on labor’s power. This collection of essays by international labor activists and academics examines models of worker solidarity, different forms of labor organizations, and those models’ and organizations’ relationships to social movements and civil society.

    “The Core Competence of the Corporation” challenged and redefined traditional concepts of management strategy in a market that was growing increasingly global and competitive.

Business scholars C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel base their 1990 argument for a strategy change on a comparison of case studies. They note that some corporations are adept at inventing new markets, quickly entering emerging markets, and shifting patterns of customer choice in established markets. The authors suggest that the ability to identify core competencies allows companies to develop new products quickly, and they challenge managers to emulate these best practices, offering a blueprint of how to accomplish this.

One of the most reprinted articles in the history of the Harvard Business Review, “The Core Competence of the Corporation” has been highly influential in the ongoing debate about business strategy and corporate competitiveness, topics of critical importance to the global economy. The article won the authors the McKinsey Award, given to outstanding articles published in the Harvard Business Review.

    "Modeling success" is a fancy way to say that you're copying from others who are better than you. Tony Robbins speaks highly of modeling success and how many of the most successful entrepreneurs are pros at this. You don't need to create the wheel. You just need to make sure you copy from those you look up to and make it the best it can be. I've been doing this since I was in grade school. While it was looked down upon then, I've become a multi-millionaire in MultiFamily properties. I copied my way to success. Will you?

    An expert guide to resolving coworker conflicts and healing hurt feelings and resentments, to create a more productive—and pleasant—environment.   Are you feeling less engaged, less committed, and more skeptical at work? Do you find yourself isolated? Or are you caught in the middle of co-workers’ interpersonal conflicts? If so, you may be experiencing the symptoms of broken trust in workplace relationships.    Small but hurtful situations accumulate over time into the confidence-busting, commitment-breaking, energy-draining patterns consistent with broken trust. Everyone has experienced gossiping, missed deadlines, someone taking credit for other people’s work, or “little white lies.” You may have been hurt. You may have realized that you inadvertently let others down. Or you may be wondering how to help others reeling from broken trust.    No matter your vantage point, this new book from two award-winning authors and consultants to top-tier organizations offers a proven seven-step process to heal pain and rebuild trust. This compassionate, practical approach helps you reframe the experience, take responsibility, forgive, let go, and move on. You can feel motivated to go to work again—and safe to be more fully who you are, giving your organization your best thinking, highest intention, risk-taking, and creativity. And in a place of self-discovery, self-trust, and authenticity, you can connect more fully with others in your personal life as well. While there have been many books on recovering from betrayal in personal relationships, this is the first to focus specifically on the workplace—and the first to give equal weight to what to do when you have hurt others.   “Rebuilding trust is a job you cannot ignore if you want a thriving workplace.  Don’t miss this book.” —John Kador, author of Effective Apology
