  A Guide to Conceiving Products for Sustained Competitive Advantage.
  Book Description
  Product management is the backbone of successful businesses, bridging strategy, innovation, and execution. Mastering Software Product Management takes a goal-driven approach to product management, helping readers understand how software products create differentiated value while reducing costs. It explores the external forces shaping business success—industry rivalry, bargaining power of buyers and suppliers, new entrants, and substitutes—and provides a strategic framework to achieve sustained competitive advantage.
  Readers will learn how to build processes that counter these challenges. A strong product vision can outmaneuver competition, value-based pricing and a seamless user experience can convert buyers into loyal customers, and well-structured contracts can align supplier expectations. Protecting intellectual property strengthens innovation, while compliance standards create barriers against substitutes. Engaging teams with agile practices ensures smooth execution and long-term product success.
  Rather than prescribing rigid processes, this book helps readers recognize the necessity of product management and develop their own strategies. By identifying core strengths and aligning them with business objectives, readers will gain the tools to build market-leading products and drive sustained growth.

  Worn Out - How Our Clothes Cover...

  Worn Out examines the underside of our historic clothing binge and the fashion industry's fall from grace. Former InStyle senior news editor and seasoned journalist Alyssa Hardy's riveting work explores the lives of the millions of garment workers—mostly women of color—who toil in the fashion industry around the world—from LA-based sweatshop employees who experience sexual abuse while stitching clothes for H&M, Fashion Nova, and Levi's to "homeworkers" in Indonesia who are unknowingly given carcinogenic materials to work with. Worn Out exposes the complicity of celebrities whose endorsements obscure the exploitation behind marquee brands and also includes interviews with designers such as Mara Hoffman, whose business models are based on ethical production standards. 
   
   
   
  Like many of us, Hardy believes in the personal, political, and cultural place fashion has in our lives, from seed to sew to closet, and that it is still okay to indulge in its glitz and glamour. But the time has come, she argues, to force real change on an industry that prefers to keep its dark side behind the runway curtain. The perfect book for people who are passionate about clothing and style, Worn Out seeks to engage in a real conversation about who gets harmed by fast fashion—and offers meaningful solutions for change.

  Create the Future is an exciting guidebook for disruptive thinking, innovation, and change, paired with The Innovation Handbook, an updated version of the award-winning book, Exploiting Chaos. The bestseller is loaded with the same tactics, tools, and frameworks that Gutsche's team uses to accelerate 700 of the world's most powerful brands, billionaires, CEOs, and NASA. 
   
   
   
  Throughout history, we know that chaos reshuffles the deck, changes consumer needs, switches who is in the lead, and creates unprecedented risk and opportunity. Chaos causes most people to retreat—but not always. Disney, CNN, Square, HP, Apple, Fortune Magazine, Uber, and AirBnB are just a few examples of companies that started during periods of rampant chaos and global economic recession. Crisis and chaos create opportunity, if you know where to look. The challenge is that your own success, neurological wiring, past decisions, and "7 Traps of Path Dependency" make it more difficult for you to realize your full potential. 
   
    
    
  In our post-COVID era of chaos and disruptive innovation, there are so many great opportunities within reach; however, most smart and successful people miss out because of these proven proven traps. If you could overcome these traps, what could you accomplish? How much more successful could your plans for innovation and change, actually be?

  Wheels of normality - Building...

  Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
  From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
  Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.
