Sinopse

Defense Contracts investigates the global defense industry, exploring whether it's driven by genuine security needs or by economic and political ambitions. This sector is one of the most influential and opaque, with government contracts fueling its operations. The book unveils how geopolitical events shape the demand for military goods, directly impacting the industry's growth. Did you know that the pursuit of profit and strategic advantage can sometimes overshadow genuine security needs, leading to questionable spending and heightened international tensions?

 
The book dissects the complex web of government contracts, profiles major defense corporations, and analyzes the impact of geopolitics. It begins by introducing the defense industry's principles and historical evolution, then moves into an analysis of government contracting processes. Readers will find detailed case studies of leading defense corporations, followed by an exploration of geopolitical flashpoints and global trends that influence defense spending.

 
Understanding the dynamics of arms trade and defense spending is critical for anyone interested in global security and political economy. The book's unique value lies in its data-driven perspective, moving beyond simplistic narratives to reveal the underlying economic and political imperatives shaping the industry. By drawing connections between political science, economics, and international relations, Defense Contracts provides a holistic view of the forces at play, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this critical sector.

    What is resilience?
    Resilience is the ability to cope with setbacks and find solutions to problems. It is the ability to bounce back from adversity and hardships, learn from experiences and move on. Being resilient means having the strength and conviction to confront life's challenges and adapt positively to difficult circumstances.
    A 2020 Gartner survey revealed that 74% of CFOs and finance leaders planned to keep their previously on-site workforce working remotely post COVID-19. Even before the pandemic, the work environment had become one of constant change. People could no longer expect job stability, working time had become increasingly fluid and sophistication of technology meant that businesses were no longer limited to specific geographical locations to manage their workforce.
    The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the uncertainty and stress it created to the realisation that the world of work will need to change to deal with economic uncertainties and modified ways of working, means that resilience is now more important than ever.
    Why is resilience important?
    We need to build our resilience to cope effectively with ambiguity and change, and to bounce back in the face of adversity. This is particularly important if we manage and lead others at work.
    Well-being in the Workplace – A guide to resilience for individuals and teams is aimed at managers who need to build resilience in both themselves and their team and improve their own and others' well-being. Remote working makes it even harder for managers to identify if team members are struggling, and employees may lack the support network to help them cope with stress in their work and home environments.
    Recognise the warning signs and take positive action
    A practical guide, this book will equip managers with the skills and confidence to effectively build their own and others' resilience and support their team's well-being. It covers:
    
    - An introduction to what resilience is and why we need it;
    - The challenges for managers of building resilience in themselves and others;
    - How to assess your own levels of resilience;
    - Tips for physical, emotional, mental and social well-being;
    - How to build resilience in team members; and
    - The benefits of building resilience and how to make habits stick.
    Managers, team leaders, those in HR roles, and employees looking to adapt to new ways of working will find this book invaluable.
    Understand the benefits of building resilience and how you can support your team's well-being – buy this book today!

    How to Earn a Fortune

    In the 1990s, nobody in Russia stood above Boris Berezovsky – not even the President of Russia. He built his estimated fortune of $40bn with interests in oil, media, banking, and aviation by cutting deals with bureaucrats and fellow businessmen, rapidly intimidating and charming his way to wealth.After a change of guard in the Kremlin in the early 2000s, newly elected President Vladimir Putin began to view his former friend and ally Berezovsky as a billionaire run amok and as a danger to his own power. A clash over media ownership and a subsequent fall from grace followed – Berezovsky, having lost most of his money, fled to the United Kingdom and spent the remainder of his life tied up in courtroom battles over his fortune and sponsoring anti-Putin movements in Russia.Rising from an obscure government mathematician to an all-powerful oligarch, Berezovsky epitomized an era – of shady corridor politics and violent gangster capitalism, of post-Soviet chaos and revolutionized social mores. Before dying in London in 2013 – an apparent suicide in mysterious circumstances – Berezovsky penned this essay as a final stroke of his legacy, detailing his philosophy of money and money-getting.
