  The behind the scenes story of the power struggle that rocked Wall Street's most prestigious financial institution. 
   
  In March 2005 the business world woke up to an unprecedented full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal calling for the removal of Morgan Stanley's CEO. It was paid for by a cohort of eight former Morgan Stanley executives, including an ex-chairman and an ex-president, who soon would be dubbed the “Eight Grumpy Old Men.” Their target was CEO Philip Purcell, who had come to power following Morgan Stanley's 1997 merger with Dean Witter Discover. In his eight years as CEO, Purcell had presided over a 50 percent decline in stock price since its peak in 2000 and a series of high-profile government and civil lawsuits that had tarnished the company's once-sterling reputation. Just a few months after the Journal ad, Purcell would retire under pressure, and former president John Mack, who had been pushed out by Purcell, was appointed CEO. The “Eight Grumpy Old Men” won the battle. 
   
  Opening the long-closed doors of a bastion of Wall Street that has maintained the strictest privacy until now, Blue Blood and Mutiny is real-life business thriller exposing the tale that shook high finance. Weaving the history of Morgan Stanley with the inside story of the fight for dominance between two competing business cultures—one, the collegial meritocracy handed down from the days of J. P. Morgan, and the other, a cold, contemporary corporate model, acclaimed journalist and historian Patricia Beard has written a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand the future of American business.

  Chinese tourists - what do they...

  The world has never seen such a huge business opportunity for which they have so little understanding of how to address it. Many entrepreneurs have, more or less seriously, dreamt of being able to sell just one product to every single Chinese. That dream is now quickly turning into a possibility for many hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions. As of 2012. Chinese tourists are the largest group of travellers in the world. Unfortunately, understanding of the needs that these Chinese tourists have is exceptionally poor. What do they want to eat, do or buy? Where do they want to stay, and what places do they want to visit? All these differ radically from the needs of other tourists. In this book, we will take you through what is different and why it is so. In the book, we will also offer ideas on how to easily shift your offering to match what Chinese tourists want. We will also provide plenty of examples on what others have done to attract their business -- since, naturally, many have already invested heavily to do this. So yes, competition for Chinese tourists has undoubtedly begun, but an equally vital investment for winning this fight is understanding. What do you know about their needs? 
  INGEMAR FREDRIKSSON has 30+ years experience in top management, business development, profitability development and marketing.

  Short on time? Or maybe you’ve already read the book, but need a refresh on the most important takeaways. In a quick, easy listen, you can take the main principles from Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! 
  Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is a bestselling book that has become the #1 personal finance book of all time. In the book, Kiyosaki seeks to describe the lessons about money that rich fathers teach their children versus the teachings of poor and middle-class families. Moreover, Kiyosaki uses personal anecdotes from his poor dad—his real father, a hardworking man who couldn’t seem to make ends meet—and his rich dad—his mentor, a middle school dropout turned millionaire—to show how people must challenge their view of money to find richness even if they don’t earn a high income. 
  Having been translated into multiple languages and having sold over thirty-six million copies across the world, Rich Dad Poor Dad is a powerful book that has changed the way many people view financial freedom and financial education. This book shows a new point of view to finances that many people have not been taught. Using this information, Kiyosaki was able to retire before he turned fifty. Ultimately, this book debunks several myths and suggests that everyone can have financial security if they use the knowledge outlined in this book. 
  This audiobook encapsulates key takeaways found in the original book. We’ve also provided an in-depth analysis as well as removing any fluff to save you hours of your time. If you’ve read the original, then this audio summary will help you solidify the most important lessons.

  Behavioural Economics -...

  The controversial science that claims to have revolutionised economics.
  
  For centuries, economics was dominated by the idea that we are rational individuals who optimise our own 'utility'. Then, in the 1970s, psychologists demonstrated that the reality is a lot messier. We don't really know what our utility is, and we care about people other than ourselves. We are susceptible to external nudges. And far from being perfectly rational we are prone to 'cognitive biases' with complex effects on decision-making, such as forgetting to prepare for retirement.
  
  David Orrell explores the findings from psychology and neuroscience that are shaking up economics - and that are being exploited by policy-makers and marketers alike, to shape everything from how we shop for food, to how we tackle societal happiness or climate change. Finally, he asks: is behavioural economics a scientific revolution, or just a scientific form of marketing?
