Summary

Critical Perspectives on
  Cultural Memory and Heritage
  focuses on the importance of memory and heritage for individual and group
  identity, and for their sense of belonging. It aims to expose the motives and
  discourses related to the destruction of memory and heritage during times of war,
  terror, sectarian conflict and through capitalist policies. It is within
  these affected spheres of cultural heritage where groups and communities
  ascribe values, develop memories, and shape their collective identity. 
Chapters
in the volume address cultural memory and heritage from six global perspectives
and contexts: first, the relationship between cultural memory and heritage;
second, the effect of urban development and large infrastructure on heritage;
third, the destruction of indigenous heritage; fourth, the destruction of
heritage in relation to erasing memory during sectarian violence and conflict;
fifth, the impact of policymaking on cultural heritage assets; and sixth, a
broad reflection on the destruction, change and transformation of heritage in
an epilogue by Cornelius Holtorf, archaeologist and Chair of Heritage Futures
at UNESCO. 
The
range of sites discussed in the volume – from Australia, Brazil and Syria, to
Bosnia, the UK and Taiwan – make it essential reading for researchers in Museum
and Heritage Studies, Archaeology and History seeking a global, comprehensive study
of cultural memory and heritage.

    Companies looking to expand used to think about entering international markets, but today you're global from the moment you create a website. Nataly Kelly, Chief Growth Officer at Rebrandly (a global tech company with customers in more than 100 countries) and former VP International Ops and Strategy at HubSpot, says now the goal should be market intensification—building on the presence you already have.Kelly's MARACA model enables companies to distill the mass amounts of data available to determine if, how, and where they should expand by looking at three key areas of measurement: MA: market availability—the size of the market opportunity within a given country; RA: real-time analytics—data indicating how your company is currently performing in that market; and CA: customer addressability—the measure of your company's ability to address the market, no matter its size.The book is based on Kelly's experiences with building a global business both at HubSpot and as a consultant, but also contains numerous examples from successful global companies of various sizes, such as Airbnb, Canva, Dashlane, GoStudent, Facebook, LinkedIn, Lottie Dolls, Netflix, Revolut, Teamwork, and Zoom. Including information on building a globally minded corporate culture, this is a complete strategic guide to discovering international growth opportunities.
