It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Understand how circular economy principles reshape business strategy and practice. The Circular Economy by Suzanne Smit and Uthayasankar Sivarajah is a practical and theory-informed textbook for postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students studying Circular Economy, Sustainable Business and related business and management courses. Aligned with contemporary module outcomes, it addresses why circular economy thinking is essential for modern business and how organizations can embed sustainability across core functions. The textbook examines how businesses can plan, implement and manage circular transitions by integrating circular economy principles, metrics and decision-making frameworks into everyday business activity. Structured around four interrelated stages, it explores strategic planning, resource organization, leadership and control mechanisms that enable organizations to move from linear to circular models. Real-world examples from Ikea, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Guararapes Group and Flying Tiger demonstrate how circular strategies are applied in practice across industries and regions. This textbook includes: - A four-part framework covering planning, organizing, leading and controlling circular economy initiatives - Clear explanations of circular economy theories, strategies and performance metrics - Application of circular principles to finance, operations, supply chain management and business storytelling - Real-world examples illustrating how organizations manage circular transitions &gt;Whether studying sustainable business or preparing for roles in strategy, operations or sustainability, this textbook equips students with the knowledge and practical insight needed to support and lead circular transformation in organizations.

Project Stakeholder Engagement

This book, The Fourth Way: Navigating Global Challenges for a Sustainable Future, explores the defining challenges that confront humanity in the 21st century: the rise of the digital society, unprecedented population aging, intensifying social polarization, and the escalating climate crisis. Referred to collectively as the "four new normals," these intertwined forces pose systemic risks that current sustainable development frameworks have proven inadequate to address.

The book aims to propose a bold and integrative response-what the author calls the Fourth Way. Grounded in both Eastern and Western philosophical and religious traditions, this alternative framework seeks to transcend the limitations of neoliberalism, authoritarian socialism, the Third Way, and Degrowth ideologies. Instead, it envisions a pathway toward Sustainable True Development, built on the dual pillars of inclusive true growth and green true growth.

By rethinking the goals and ethics of development in the digital age, the book calls for a transformation in how humanity relates to itself, to technology, and to the planet. It offers a multidisciplinary synthesis that bridges economic theory, environmental stewardship, and spiritual reflection, ultimately advocating a humane and ecologically grounded model of progress. This work is for scholars, policymakers, and all who seek a principled and future-oriented alternative in the face of global uncertainty.

The Fourth Way: Navigating Global Challenges For A Sustainable Future

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

The Ultimate Disruption

Dieses Buch stellt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch dar und bietet eine umfassende und zugleich kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Der inhaltli­che Schwerpunkt liegt zunächst auf der Erläuterung der wichtigsten Private-Equity-Investment­strategien wie Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance. Darauf aufbauend werden unterschiedliche Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu der Anlageklasse, wie Investitionen in Private-Equity-Fonds, Fund-of-Funds-Strukturen sowie der Kauf von Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager erklärt. Wichtige Zielgruppen sind Mitar­beiter institutioneller Investoren wie Pensionskassen und Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaften, Mitarbeiter von Family Offices sowie vermögende Privatinvestoren, die überwiegend über Fonds­vehikel in die Anlageklasse investieren. Aufgrund seiner durchgehenden Systematik eignet sich das Buch jedoch auch als Lehrbuch im Hochschulstudium sowie als Nachschlagewerk für Invest­ment Professionals in der Private-Equity-Branche.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Einführung</li><li>Private-Equity-Direktbeteiligungen</li><li>Private Equity Fonds</li><li>Private Equity Dachfonds</li><li>Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager als Anlagemöglichkeit</li><li>Gesamtwirtschaftliche Auswirkungen von Private Equity</li></ul>Die AutorenMehdi Mostowfi ist Professor für Finance an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissen­schaften (ZHAW). Er ist stellvertretender Leiter des Instituts für Financial Management und Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets. Sein beruflicher Werdegang umfasst Tätig­keiten als Senior Investment Manager für Private-Equity-Investitionen bei der Deutschen Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG), als Investment Banker bei Morgan Stanley sowie als Berater bei McKinsey &amp; Company im Corporate Finance &amp; Strategy Practice.&nbsp;Fabian Danko ist Dozent und stellvertretender Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW). Fabian Danko hält einen Master of Arts in Accounting and Finance der Universität St. Gallen (HSG) und verfügt über mehr als 10 Jahre Erfahrung in den Bereichen M&amp;A und Private Equity. In seiner letzten Funktion bei einem Schweizer Private-Equity-Unternehmen war er für die Transaktionsstruktur sowie die finanzielle Due Diligence der Akquisitionen verantwortlich.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dieses Buch deckt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch ab und präsentiert eine methodisch-didaktische, umfassende und dennoch kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Die inhaltliche Zielsetzung des Buches besteht in der Vermittlung von wissenschaftlich fundiertem, in der Praxis gut verwertbarem Wissen auf dem Gebiet Direct Private Equity Investmentstrategien (Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance), Private Equity Fonds (mit jeweiligem Fokus auf eine der Direct PE Investment Strategien) sowie auf Fund of Private Equity Funds (Primaries, Secondaries und Co-Investments). Nachdem sich die Zielgruppe des Buches neben Studierenden und Wissernschaftlern in erster Linie aus Mitarbeitern von institutionellen Investoren (von Pensionskassen, Vermögenswaltungsgesellschaften und Family Offices) und vermögenden Privatinvestoren bildet, die in der Regel über die Vehikel PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds in diese Anlageklasse investieren, soll der Schwerpunkt des Buches auf der Darstellung dieser Anlageformen liegen. Neben einem grundlegenden Verständnis der Produkte/ Investitionsvehikel soll der Leser mit der grundsätzlichen Vorgehensweise bei ihrer Analyse und Bewertung vertraut gemacht und hierdurch unter anderem befähigt werden, selbstständig eine Due Diligence im Vorfeld einer Investition in Private Equity Fonds (oder Fund of Funds) durchzuführen. Für die Analyse und Prüfung von PE-Fonds ist jedoch ein gutes Verständnis der Direct PE Investmentstrategien unerlässlich. Daher wird im Anschluss an das Einführungskapitel (über PE als Anlageklasse) zunächst in diese Thematik (PE-Strategien, Bewertung von Direct PE-Investitionen und Exit-Strategien) eingeführt, bevor die Themen PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds ausführlich behandelt werden. In Zusammenhang (und Abgrenzung) zu PE-Fonds wird das Buch auch auf neuere Alternative Anlageformen in Private Equity (wie zum Beispiel Crowd-Investing) eingehen. Des Weiteren ist das Buch unseres Wissens die erste Monografie, die über die genannten Anlageformen hinaus auch auf die Möglichkeit der Investition in börsennotierte Manager (als Alternative zu PE-Fondsinvestitionen) eingehen und deren Gemeinsamkeiten/Unterschiede zu Investitionen in (von den Managern verwalteten) Fonds herausstellen wird.&nbsp;

In an era when economic, social, and geopolitical uncertainties are reshaping the world of management, Management Education and the Rise of Uncertainty of Global Business offers a timely, collective reflection on how business and management schools can prepare tomorrow's leaders.
