From the first experiments with gliders to the most advanced air combat systems of the 21st century, military aviation has been a decisive factor in the technological, strategic and political development of the modern world.

  Essential Joseph Schumpeter The...

  Joseph Schumpeter is one of the most accomplished economists of the twentieth century. Included among his many contributions is his path-breaking work on entrepreneurship—one of the quintessential characteristics of all market economies. 
  His timeless phrase describing the entrepreneurial process as one of “creative destruction” is likely second only to Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” in its daily use in popular tweets, blog posts, speeches, and articles. Renowned Chicago economist Jacob Viner praised Schumpeter’s History of Economic Analysis as “by a wide margin … the most brilliant contribution to the history of analytical phases of our discipline which has ever been made”. However, it is Schumpeter’s Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, in which Schumpeter describes the mechanisms—entrepreneurs, innovation, and capital reallocation—that drive the “incessant” recreation of capitalism that is by far his most popular and successful work.

  In a world of constant change, where the very nature of work is evolving, how can organizations adapt to embrace a more human-centric approach? The answer lies within the pages of Neverland, a thought-provoking and insightful book by Trevor Hudson. Drawing upon years of experience driving organizational change and a deep commitment to transforming the way we work, the author explores the foundations of a more human-centered philosophy for the future of work. This book serves as a guide for overwhelmed leaders, trapped in the patterns inherited from their predecessors, often rooted in outdated Western, patriarchal and paper-based paradigms. It's a call to action, encouraging readers to ask the big questions that can unlock previously unconsidered possibilities in how we work and lead. The upheaval of 2020, marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, forced millions to work from home. The unexpected experiment demonstrated that remote work is not only possible but can even boost productivity. Yet, it also revealed the toll it can take on individual wellbeing. This book examines the impact of this monumental shift and the opportunities it presents, Neverland doesn't just highlight the challenges; it offers practical solutions and insights drawn from a rich tapestry of collective wisdom and pioneering efforts across various fields. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the future of work, two formidable challenges emerge: predicting the future itself and tailoring the human-centric approach to each unique organisation. This book delves into these challenges, shedding light on what pioneers are doing to lead their companies into this new era. It's a dynamic space, and readers are invited to be as excited as the author about the possibilities it holds. With insight, wisdom, and a dash of inspiration, this book is an invitation to leaders, innovators, and dreamers to be bold, ask the tough questions, and imagine a new world of work - a Neverland - where the landscape of productivity, creativity and the desires-made-real of every individual and employee coexist.

  Between August 2022 and July 2024, GMB Union membership at Amazon’s BHX4 Coventry warehouse skyrocketed, with 37 days of strike action resulting in a 28.5% pay rise. Yet despite this, the union narrowly lost a ballot that would have forced Amazon to grant formal recognition. 
  Based on ethnographic research and reflective essays from worker-leaders and organizers, this book offers a rich case study of the factors contributing to the union’s successes and setbacks. It provides a practical organizing model applicable beyond Amazon, offering strategies to engage the workforce, sustain support and develop leadership.  
  An essential toolkit for those navigating the complexities of evolving labour practices, with particular relevance for precarious workers and workplaces where access is limited.
