A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

Star Wars and Fifty Years of Hollywood Mythmaking

Rebels and Empires

Is your company moving as fast as you think it is? Most organizations aren't--and it's costing them.Many executives would argue that their companies are moving with speed. But new research reveals the opposite. As speed becomes more critical to survival in today's unpredictable world, most companies are actually getting slower, held back by processes, technologies, and structures that once made them successful.This perception-execution gap around speed can make or break companies--yet most leaders don't know how to set their organizations up for success. In The High-Velocity Organization, Suketu Gandhi, chair of the global strategic operations practice at Kearney, offers a practical solution. By combining speed of insights, decisions, and actions, leaders can increase their velocity exponentially across the organization. Gandhi introduces a five-part framework for operationalizing intelligent speed at scale: <ul><li>Build enterprise sensing capabilities that enable a company to perceive opportunities and threats.</li><li>Break down silos to enable organizational adaptability.</li><li>Empower agile teams by encouraging decision-making and fostering collaboration.</li><li>Scale with intelligent automation to distribute insights, increase efficiency, expand capacity, and support decentralized execution at scale.</li><li>Measure what matters using new metrics that determine true competitive speed in an accelerated marketplace.</li></ul>Based on proprietary research and filled with detailed examples, The High-Velocity Organization explores the architecture, technology, and leadership needed to put speed at the heart of strategy and execution so that your company can stay adaptable while moving forward--fast.

The Psychology of Leadership

Most leaders think trust is an outcome of success. The best leaders know it is the driver.In an era defined by rapid change and AI disruption, organizations face a paradox: While AI and advanced tools promise unprecedented capability, the foundation needed to unlock that potential--trust--is eroding. Employees question the systems they are asked to use, customers doubt the brands they once relied on, and leaders struggle to keep pace with shifting expectations. As trust declines, so does the ability to innovate, adapt, and grow.In The Trust Advantage, Deloitte Consulting LLP principal Ashley Reichheld offers a timely and practical guide to rebuilding trust as a strategic asset. Drawing on years of research and the proprietary TrustID system she developed, Reichheld shows how trust can be measured, managed, predicted, and deliberately strengthened across your teams, customers, and partners. The book reframes trust not as an outcome but as the underlying operating system that drives performance and long-term value.Through rich case studies, essential insights, and real-world examples, Reichheld illustrates how organizations across industries have used trust to accelerate adoption of new technologies, deepen customer loyalty, and create resilient, high-performing cultures. She breaks down the components of trust into actionable levers, equipping leaders with tools to diagnose trust gaps and embed trust-building practices into everyday decisions. From navigating AI-driven change to aligning stakeholder expectations, the book reveals how trust can reduce friction and unlock momentum.At once insightful and practical, The Trust Advantage shows that in a world of constant disruption, trust is not a byproduct of success--it is the engine of it. Leaders who build it with intention will create the strongest, most enduring advantage of all.

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

When Strategy Meets Reality

Materialising the Digital

Where and how we pay is changing dramatically. This timely, innovative book navigates the so-called 'Cambrian explosion' of FinTech companies and more specifically to the emergence of Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies through the lens of the case of Ripple, a company in the field of cryptoassets and cross-border payments. Combining STS with human geography and political economy, it navigates the maelstrom of proliferating new and old payment infrastructure, to develop a theoretical and empirical 'infrastructural inversion' of money. Money does not just flow through or behave like an infrastructure, but rather it is an infrastructure, because it is predicated upon the existence of accounting and payment infrastructures of memory for its very existence. Using the concepts of active forms and dispositions from design and architecture, this nuanced book analyses how money's infrastructures act in the world materially, spatially, as objects and subjects of desire and as political and economic machines. If we want new forms of money for new forms of society, we need to think holistically and ecologically about the complex combinations of materiality, space, desire and political economies that money generates and propagates. Tracing the trajectory of a cryptoasset project from an alternative credit system to an interbank, cross-border company, the book moves beyond a Bitcoin-centric view of money. It reveals how alternative and mainstream, networked and sovereign forms of money have long been intertwined.

Competitive advantage is found in operations, and in the operations leaders who build resilient, adaptive, and intelligent businesses.The relentless waves of disruption in the turbulent 2020s--from the Covid-19 pandemic to AI breakthroughs and so much more--have made operations the nerve center of business survival. The companies thriving in today's volatile world are those that have transformed operations from a "silent function" into a strategic engine of resilience, innovation, growth, and competitive advantage. In this practical book, you learn how it's done.Professor of Strategy and Supply Chain Management Carlos Cordon joins the former head of operations at Nestlé, Magdi Batato, to show leaders why operations is the CEO's secret weapon and how the COO has emerged as one of the most strategically important roles in modern business.Drawing on interviews, case studies, and real-world lessons from global leaders at companies including Nestlé, Apple, Carlsberg, Danaher, and Novo Nordisk, the authors reveal how modern executives are rethinking the supply chain to be something more flexible and nonlinear; how they're reimagining manufacturing, sustainability, technology, talent, and customer responsiveness in an era when disruption is constant and adaptability is everything.From nearshoring and AI-powered decision-making to sustainable sourcing, consumer-driven operations, and resilient ecosystems, the book provides a practical framework for building operations that can withstand shocks while continuing to innovate and grow. It will guide CEOs, COOs, supply chain leaders, strategists, and anyone responsible for steering organizations through an increasingly unpredictable world.Operational resilience is now inseparable from long-term success. Operations is strategy.

This open access book introduces the first systematic approach to the debate on the unity or fragmentation of practical reasoning and its profound implications for legal philosophy. Bringing together some of the foremost legal philosophers from the Hispanic-Latin world, the book presents a thoughtful dialogue with the Anglo-American literature, making it of interest to scholars from both cultural traditions. Although the topic is rarely discussed explicitly and systematically, it is pivotal to ongoing debates about legal normativity, the nature of law, legal authority, and the rationale behind legal decisions. This book fills this gap by providing a comprehensive perspective that illuminates the intersections between the philosophy of law and the philosophy of practical reasoning. It analyses law from the perspective of the agent and offers deep insights into critical issues in the field of law. The volume is divided into four parts. The 1st part addresses the question of the nature of reasons and the unity of practical and theoretical reasoning. The 2nd part deals with the question of whether practical reasoning works in a unified or fragmented way. The 3rd section examines the autonomy of legal normativity in relation to morality and other normative domains. In the 4th and concluding section, the authors analyse the implications of the thesis of the unity of practical reason for legal decision-making and the authority of law.
