Summary

This volume focuses on a market that is one of the world=s economically most important and at the same time one of the most difficult to understand culturally - at least from a Western point of view. China is the world=s second largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and the largest in terms of purchasing power parity. At the same time, China has one of the world=s oldest cultures and was the cradle for extremely influential philosophical approaches that even today continue to have a tremendous impact on every sphere of Chinese society. As a result, business in China is - directly or indirectly - influenced by a distinct Chinese pragmatism, personalized networking (guanxi), the concept of "saving face" and the idea of business as a battlefield. Familiarity with Chinese culture and negotiating practices is a key factor for promoting successful business transactions. In this book, the authors aim to close the gap between publications that are of purely academic interest, on the one hand, and general guidebooks on the other. Intercultural Competencies in China provides a comprehensive selection of topics that are crucial for understanding what lies behind cultural differences - making the book essential reading for business purposes and private contacts in China. Although the book is academically oriented, all of the essays are also accessible for the general reader.

    The coronavirus pandemic, the deepening economic crash, dangerously divisive political responses, and exploding social tensions have thrown an already declining American capitalist system into a tailspin. The consequences of these mounting and intertwined crises will shape our future. In this unique collection of over fifty essays, The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself, Richard D. Wolff argues clearly that "returning to normal" no longer responds adequately to the accumulated problems of US capitalism. What is necessary, instead, is transition toward a new economic system that works for all of us.

    A companion guidebook to the number-one bestselling Good to Great, focused on implementation of the flywheel concept, one of Jim Collins’ most memorable ideas that has been used across industries and the social sectors, and with startups. 
    The key to business success is not a single innovation or one plan. It is the act of turning the flywheel, slowly gaining momentum and eventually reaching a breakthrough. Building upon the flywheel concept introduced in his groundbreaking classic Good to Great, Jim Collins teaches readers how to create their own flywheel, how to accelerate the flywheel’s momentum, and how to stay on the flywheel in shifting markets and during times of turbulence. 
    Combining research from his Good to Great labs and case studies from organizations like Amazon, Vanguard, and the Cleveland Clinic which have turned their flywheels with outstanding results, Collins demonstrates that successful organizations can disrupt the world around them—and reach unprecedented success—by employing the flywheel concept. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
