What does it look like to do business with integrity? In Just Business, Alec Hill argues that the foundational Christian concepts of holiness, justice, and love are the keys to a truly Christian business ethic. Written for students and professionals who want their faith to inform their business practices, this textbook provides a clear, practical, and theologically grounded framework for navigating the ethical challenges of modern business life.Now in its fourth edition, Just Business has been updated with more current case studies and examples from global economies and a brand-new chapter on artificial intelligence, making it a timely and comprehensive Christian business ethics resource for today.Just Business features: <ul><li>An accessible and practical Christian perspective on business that teaches readers to apply timeless moral principles in ethical decision-making</li><li>Insightful case studies on pressing topics such as employer-employee relations, discrimination, international business, artificial intelligence, and environmental impact</li><li>Real-world examples of business successes and failures from economies around the globe</li><li>Evaluations of alternative secular approaches to business ethics including dual morality, agency, and law</li></ul>Because God himself is holy, just, and loving, we should strive to embody those characteristics in the way we do business. Just Business is a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as working professionals who want a guide to business ethics rooted in Christian conviction rather than conventional corporate values. If you are a professor looking for a text that takes both faith and business seriously, or a student trying to figure out how your beliefs translate into your career, this book gives you a place to begin and a framework to build on.

Private equity buccaneers have generated untold wealth by plundering the worlds of commerce, defence and sport. In the process they have also destroyed jobs, hurt consumers, neglected environmental concerns and undermined public trust in share markets. In this book, Alex Brummer, City Editor at the Daily Mail, lifts the lid on the dangers of private equity Financially driven private ownership has contributed to waterways being clogged with sewage; high parking charges; malfunctioning baggage handling at airports; the collapse and impairment of some of our best-loved retail stores and the alienation of sports fans from much-loved franchises. Private equity finance is an industry which thrives on leverage (debt), is untrammelled by regulations, poses a danger to economic stability and often works against the national interest. Starting out in the US, the private equity industry rapidly spread to Britain, where many of the big players have set up their European and global headquarters. In this wide-ranging book, Alex Brummer takes in a broad focus on the dangers of private equity to the global economic order, examining in detail the danger of grotesque levels of debt, and the neglect of the public interest in what private equity firms do.

Calkins reveals the key steps to making an outstanding business presentation: <ul> <li>Creating a brief</li> <li>Finding the story</li> <li>Crafting effective slides</li> <li>Pre-selling the presentation</li> <li>Setting the stage</li> <li>Delivering with confidence</li> <li>Following up</li> </ul> Few things are as important as your ability to communicate information and make recommendations, and an outstanding business presentation is one of the best examples of this. If you have ever struggled with a presentation, What's the Story? is the reference you've been waiting for-the long-awaited guide many have urged Tim Calkins to write and your key to business success.

How to Create and Deliver Winning Business Presentations

What's the Story?

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

Despite the recognized significance of projectification, the empirical quantification of its extent remains limited and methodologically diverse. By employing a systematic literature review (SLR) procedure, the study identifies the existing studies that focus on the quantitative measurement of projectification. This method-based review examines existing methods to measure projectification, critically analyses methodological approaches, and assesses their overall quality using the AXIS tool. The analysis reveals considerable variance in reporting, stratification criteria, sampling procedures, sample size and a gap in the handling of non-responses, highlighting the need for standardized measurement frameworks to enhance comparability, reliability, validity, and replicability. Moreover, the detailed analysis of Total Survey Error components with confidence intervals and sample representativeness reexamination indicated that projectification saturation might be more prevalent than previously claimed. We provide a new definition of projectification and propose a framework to improve the methodology of projectification measurement studies, including standardized reporting guidelines that aim to encourage similar measurements in other countries. More importantly, the book provides key takeaways for the business community by answering the fundamental questions: what to measure, how to collect the data and how to report those.

Curiosity transforms fear in to a question, and a question into progress. Curiosity is today's superpower. In times of profound upheaval and uncertainty, it enables us to evolve and to gain control of our lives and organisations. We are witnessing increasingly fractious times economically and politically, but when we lean into curiosity rather than recoil in panic or freeze in fear, something powerful happens: we begin to learn. Learning isn't about accumulating facts, information or even simply knowledge, it's about building the capacity to adapt. The skills we need today- empathy, creativity, collaboration - aren't mastered in order to subsequently be forgotten; they grow and evolve through the practice of curiosity. Each question we ask becomes a tool for navigating uncertainty, change and evolution. In Curiosity: Nurturing your Superpower for Discovery, Joy and Success acclaimed public speaker and bestselling author Richard Gerver unifies his decades of experience in education, change, leadership and innovation to show you how you can ignite your curiosity and realise your full potential. With his unique insight into our development from infants to adults, Gerver helps us understand the nature of our personal and professional responses to risk, change, creativity and development and how, by rediscovering our childish curiosity, we can regain a sense of control over our lives and those we impact both personally and professionally. From opening ourselves up to failure and looking foolish, to the power of mentorship in modelling inquisitiveness, this book illustrates how curiosity is not just how we grow, it's how we connect, how we solve and how we heal. Curiosity is how we remember what it means to be human in an age of Artificial Intelligence, machines and metrics. Curiosity won't just save us all - it will help us finally understand who we can still become.
