Analytic Summary of The Power of Habit

Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

Advances in Japanese Business and Economics

This book clarifies the cause and effect of Japan’s “Lost Three Decades”. By analyzing factors such as exchange rates, industrial structure, internal migration, and the labor market, and in part comparing them with those of the U.S. economy, it offers new insights into the significant structural transformations that have occurred in the Japanese economy. It particularly highlights the different performance between the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors as a cause of the prolonged stagnation. The asset price bubble of the 1980s and the strong yen in the 1990s altered the employment structure of the export-driven manufacturing sector, drawing laborers to the service sector. The resulting allocation of resources to the low-productivity service sector has delayed economic recovery. It also discusses problems of an excess concentration in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. This book not only identifies structural change in the Japanese economy but also provides a practical framework for a differential productivity economic growth model. The studies offer a fresh understanding of Japan’s economic transformation, with implications that can be directly applied to real-world economic scenarios, making it a valuable resource for economists, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the dynamics of the Japanese economy.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book is open access, What makes people competent at work? This question is becoming complicated with the emergence of new technologies and the hastened pace of global economic exchanges. While there is less consensus about what people should know and be able to do to be rewarded in the workplace, the discussion about skills and competencies becomes even hotter among those who express concern about the gaps between the demands and supplies of "skilled" workforces.
 
Given this situation, one of the main objectives of this book is to clarify the true nature of often-discussed "skills gaps", using the cases of manufacturing workers in the Global South. Instead of discussing the issues based on a broad, ambiguous understanding of human abilities, after an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature and theorization, the book proposes a detailed classification of cognitive, non-cognitive (including socio-emotional skills and personality traits), and technical abilities. Then, it presents both contextually relevant and generalizable explanations about relationships among them. By doing so, the volume offers insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking ideas to reform their human resources development policies and practices.
 
The second objective of the volume is to propose the analytical perspective of Realist-Constructivism, using the "skills gaps" analysis as the empirical case, to demonstrate its theoretical, conceptual, and practical capacities to overcome the dichotomy between induction and deduction through abductive reasoning with a set of instruments to collect data that enable such analysis.
 
Empirical surveys, using a set of questionnaires and skills assessment we developed, were conducted in four countries in the Global South: Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and Pakistan. With Realist-Constructivism, we can consider work-related competencies in close relation to the specific workplace requirements and culture, while situating them within broader industrial, economic, and regulatory frameworks. Our methods and instruments enable us to link the subjective epistemologies of competencies among individuals in the micro-ecologies of the workplace with the ontological realities of labor market opportunities and evaluations.

The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live

Time Anxiety

Too young to retire, too vital to stand still, too experienced to start from scratch.Welcome to your Bonus Years.Increased longevity has gifted us fifteen-to-twenty extra active, healthy working years, shattering the traditional linear career script of learning, working, and retiring. In The Bonus Years, world-renowned London Business School professor Herminia Ibarra delivers the definitive, social-science-backed resource for navigating late-career transformation. Ibarra reveals that thriving in an extended work life requires abandoning the old linear, plan-and-implement strategies. Instead, successful reinvention comes through 'resourceful discovery' - a disciplined process of active experimentation, trying on new futures, and learning from the inside out.Whether change has arrived uninvited through an industry shock, or a quiet internal restlessness is telling you it's time to let go, this book provides the actionable tools to build transition mastery and successfully map your path forward.Filled with rich and varied case studies of professionals who reinvented themselves across the globe, The Bonus Years is an empowering manifesto for anyone who refuses to stand still. It is proof that to bloom late is not to bloom less - it is to bloom with deeper roots, on your own terms.

Your Next Chapter in Life and Work

The Bonus Years

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

Palgrave Studies in Labour Economics

Drawing on nearly a decade of Europe-wide research, this open access book offers a comprehensive account of the changing nature of work from the arrival of the computer to the rise of generative AI. It presents new evidence on the digitisation of work and the standardisation it brings about. It challenges the narrative of automation as a cause of mass unemployment, showing that automation replaces specific tasks rather than whole jobs and that its impact has been mild and mostly positive, contributing to occupational upgrading. It then turns to the rising use of platforms and algorithms to coordinate work, and the risks this brings: increasingly intrusive monitoring and surveillance, reduced autonomy and the intensification of work. Throughout, it considers whether recent developments in AI and green energy may change these trends in the near future.The result is a nuanced, evidence-based account that questions dominant narratives, above all the obsessive focus on automation, and foregrounds the less visible but more consequential trends beneath them, such as the standardisation of work and the erosion of worker autonomy. It will be essential reading for students, researchers and policymakers in labour economics, the sociology of work and economic sociology.Enrique Fernández-Macías

Easy Discipline

A timely, practical guide to AI—its strengths, weaknesses, and real-world applications—for business professionals and policymakers. Artificial intelligence, or AI, can recognize a pattern from any set of data it is given, which is what makes it such an extraordinarily powerful tool. But because not all patterns are authentic or reliable, AI's pattern-finding superpower can lead to spurious patterns—and to disastrous results for business and government entities that rely on them. Hence the conundrum at the heart of AI: its greatest strength can also be its greatest weakness. Targeting the businessperson who needs to know how to use AI profitably and responsibly, Caleb Briggs and Rex Briggs offer in this book a foundational understanding of AI that is easy to grasp yet thorough enough to be used effectively.

A timely, practical guide to AI its strengths, weaknesses, and real-world applications for business professionals and policymakers.
