The next evolution of DEI is here. Discover how to shape a workplace that puts everyone ahead through the groundbreaking FAIR framework. Over 80 percent of Americans agree that the goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are important in workplaces and society. Yet, research shows that a mere 20 percent feel they’ve directly benefited from workplace DEI programs. As traditional DEI efforts in the workplace face disengagement, backlash, and stagnation, it’s time to reimagine this work. Drawing on historical case studies, deep research, and a decade of the author’s consulting experience with organizations of all sizes, this book reveals the four tenets that will shape the next evolution of workplace DEI: <ul><li>Outcomes over Intentions: Don’t chase trends. Do what it takes to measurably achieve greater fairness, access, inclusion, and representation for all.</li><li>Systems over Self-Help: Don’t fixate on individual biases. Solve the root causes of discrimination by shaping workplace norms, culture, processes, and practices.</li><li>Coalitions over Cliques: Don’t just preach to the choir. Build bridges and movements that engage everyone as part of the solution. &nbsp;</li><li>Win-Win over Zero-Sum: Don’t give in to “us versus them.” Create and relentlessly communicate a vision for a better status quo for everyone.</li></ul> The FAIR framework offers an alternative to both the performative practices of traditional DEI programs and the false promises of anti-DEI antagonists. With clarity, urgency, and no-nonsense practicality, Fixing Fairness charts a new path forward for those committed to creating better outcomes for all.

4 Tenets to Transform Diversity Backlash into Progress for All

Fixing Fairness

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality. Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.

The Scots Law of Succession provides a clear comprehensive exposition of the law of succession in Scotland. It offers a straightforward approach to this often confusing area of law and includes commentary on the background and possible difficulties of interpretation of the rules of succession. Since neither statute nor case law provides complete answers to many of the questions that commonly arise, this book assists both students and practitioners in the logical working through of solutions by emphasising the principled system of rules and presumptions of law governing succession. Helpful examples and illustrations are provided throughout and succession is placed in its broader context of property law, family law and trusts. As well as updated case law and statutory elements, the Third Edition takes account of recent legislation including the Succession (Scotland) Act 2016 and the Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Act 2024, as well as commentary on the attempted reforms of intestate succession in Scotland. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scottish Law Service, Scots Law Student Service and Scots Law online services.

Existing investment models fail to correctly assess the efficiency of investments. This happens due to both the lack of self-consistent models based on first principles and the inability to correctly assess the discount rate. This book describes innovative investment models tested in practice. The authors modify these models for real implementation conditions, including frequent payments of income tax and interest on debt at the end of periods and as advance payments, and variable payments. The book examines how these types of payments influence the efficiency of investment projects. It considers the efficiency of an investment project from two perspectives: the owners of equity and debt, and only the equity. The latest versions of two main theories of capital structure (Brusov–Filatova–Orekhova (BFO) and Modigliani–Miller (MM)) allow for the correct assessment of the discount rate when evaluating the efficiency of investment projects (both long-term and of arbitrary duration). The book also describes the practical application of the created investment models and develops a new methodology for rating investment projects.

How did America cease to be the land of opportunity? LONGLISTED FOR THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD We take it for granted that good neighborhoods—with good schools and good housing—are only accessible to the wealthy. But in America, this wasn’t always the case. Though for most of world history, your prospects were tied to where you were born, Americans came up with a revolutionary idea: If you didn’t like your lot in life, you could find a better location and reinvent yourself there. Americans moved to new places with unprecedented frequency, and, for two hundred years, that remarkable mobility was the linchpin of American economic and social opportunity. In this illuminating debut, Yoni Appelbaum, historian and journalist for The Atlantic, shows us that this idea has been under attack since reformers first developed zoning laws to ghettoize Chinese Americans in nineteenth-century Modesto, California. The century of legal segregation that ensued—from the zoning laws enacted to force Jewish workers back into New York’s Lower East Side to the private-sector discrimination and racist public policy that trapped Black families in Flint, Michigan to Jane Jacobs’ efforts to protect her vision of the West Village—has raised housing prices, deepened political divides, emboldened bigots, and trapped generations of people in poverty. Appelbaum shows us that these problems have a common explanation: people can’t move as readily as they used to. They are, in a word, stuck. Cutting through more than a century of mythmaking, Stuck tells a vivid, surprising story of the people and ideas that caused our economic and social sclerosis and lays out common-sense ways to get Americans moving again.

When schools trust young people with meaningful influence, they don't just prepare students for the future-they co-create it.Today's world demands leaders who can collaborate across differences, solve complex problems, and strengthen community well-being. Yet most schools still rely on leadership models rooted in competition, scarcity, and hierarchy-rewarding a select few while sending others the message that leadership is not for them. Let Learners Lead challenges this status quo by positioning student leadership as a collective responsibility and a source of school improvement. It invites schools to break free from traditional hierarchies, foster belonging, and co-create a culture where every voice matters.Blending personal experience with insights from youth development research, the book demonstrates how co-creation transforms school culture, so students discover the impact of their ideas, adults become more attuned to student experience, and communities grow more connected and equitable. Combining case studies from diverse schools, interviews with experts and young leaders, and actionable tools, the chapters offer a step-by-step approach to making student leadership inclusive, relational, and real. Educators will learn how to elevate overlooked voices, distribute responsibility, and celebrate student contributions to inspire collective purpose.Including ready-to-use templates, activities, and frameworks, this is essential reading for school leaders and educators who are seeking practical strategies to improve school culture, foster inclusive student leadership, and support student engagement.

De Gruyter Studies in Knowledge Management and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

Rural Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
 explores how entrepreneurship unfolds beyond the urban centers that have dominated entrepreneurial ecosystem research. Bringing rural space to the forefront, this book examines how place, institutions, infrastructure, finance, digital connectivity, and social networks shape entrepreneurial opportunities – and how these conditions are experienced differently by women, minorities, migrants, older people, and other marginalized groups.
 Drawing on theoretical, empirical, and comparative perspectives from scholars and practitioners, this book challenges the assumption that rural entrepreneurs form a homogeneous group. It reveals how entrepreneurial ecosystems can reproduce exclusion, while also identifying pathways toward greater equity, participation, and resilience. By connecting scholarship with real-world challenges, this book offers a critical and timely roadmap for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive rural entrepreneurial ecosystems.

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.
