Sadiku M: BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND ITS
APPLICATIONS

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

'Michael Auerbach has one of the most original minds I've ever encountered . . . This is a dazzling and entertaining book . . . But it is also an urgent warning' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of Empire of Pain A brilliant exploration of the phenomenon of prediction markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? Prediction markets are sweeping the world, fundamentally changing the nature of gambling - and the very ways in which we attempt to divine the future. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction markets allow any difference of opinion - whether on pop culture or politics, wars or assassinations - to be financialised. A regulatory minefield with moral implications that divide nations, governments and bettors, they have proved as effective at accurately predicting the timing of missile strikes as they have at calling the outcomes of elections.But are these markets really a new phenomenon? And what does it mean when those tasked with safeguarding democracy hold financial stakes in its volatility?From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through nineteenth-century London's wartime coffee house gossip, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange and blockchain-based betting on Polymarket today, The Big Bet tells the gripping five-hundred-year story of a permissive regime that no one designed and no one voted for.Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future where democracy becomes just another commodity to be priced and traded. Because prediction markets are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world where everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies

Sustainability has become a key priority for organisations across business markets and networks, yet understanding how it is enacted within and across business relationships remains an important challenge. At the heart of these relationships are humans: people who interpret sustainability, make decisions, negotiate priorities, develop relationships, and translate sustainability ambitions into practice. This book explores the human side of sustainability in business-to-business (B2B) marketing, foregrounding the role of human actors in relationships, organisations, networks, and wider systems.Across five parts, the book brings together conceptual perspectives and empirical studies examining how managers, employees, and other actors understand and enact sustainability in diverse B2B contexts. The chapters address topics including sensemaking, sustainable business relationships, circularity transitions, competence development, employee behaviour, humanistic management, governance, social sustainability, and sustainable procurement. Together, the contributions reveal sustainability as a multilevel and relational process shaped by the interplay between human agency, organisational practices, business relationships, and broader network and institutional contexts.The book will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in B2B marketing, business relationships and networks, and sustainability, as well as managers and practitioners seeking to understand how sustainability is interpreted, negotiated, and implemented in practice.

The Human Side of Business Relationships

B2B Marketing and Sustainability

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Digital Sovereignty and the Green Transition

A ground-breaking framework that redefines price formation as the structural foundation of sustainability, The Price of Sustainability argues that 'true pricing' can restore long-term and inclusive economic viability. Through grounding in rigorous fieldwork, financial analysis, and the economic insights of Rudolf Steiner, this book exposes the reality behind today's pricing; that they are systematically falsified and don't reflect the reality of sustaining labour, nature and capital. To counter this, Andrillon introduces the concept of true pricing as a diagnostic framework, discerning when a price reflects viability, and when it conceals impending collapse. In the opening chapters, the author guides you through both the contemporary failure of sustainable development and the shortcomings of economic approaches to this issue. Chapter 2 formalizes the concept of a "true price"; arguing that a price is only true if it enables the full reproduction of labour, nature, and capital across time. The following chapters present the operational core of this framework, illustrating how it can be used across sectors as a practical evaluative method. Bridging political economy, sustainability science, and economic theory while offering a highly original contribution to debates on degrowth, post-capitalism, and ecological transition, this innovative text is the perfect companion for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, scholars and policy-makers working at the intersection of sustainability, political economy, ecological economics, development studies, and accounting.

Da es DIE Wirtschaftspsychologie noch nicht gibt bzw. nur Teilbereiche sehr intensiv, aber aussschließlich aus der Rationalitätsperspektive abgedeckt werden, verfolgt der Autor einen sehr interdisziplinären Ansatz, um den Erkenntnishorizont der BWL zu erweitern. Das Lehrbuch ermöglicht die Sensibilität und das Verstehen in die sozialpsychologischen Phänomene eines Wirtschaftsbetriebs. Auch neue Verbindungen werden systematisch erfasst (Psychoanalyse und BWL, Hirnforschung und BWL, Energie und BWL). Jedes Kapitel enthält praktische Beispiele, Fragestellungen, Aufgaben und Literaturempfehlungen.

Many existing textbooks in behavioural finance take only the perspective of users of financial information, but ignore the implications of judgments during the preparation of financial information. This book uses a holistic approach in examining behavioural accounting and bridges this gap.The book begins by introducing the current knowledge in the emerging area of behavioural accounting and also covers the entire spectrum from the preparation of financial information, auditing, and ultimately, to the interpretation and application of financial information of external users. The comprehensive overview of human elements in accounting makes this book an invaluable resource.

Eine lernorientierte Einführung in die Grundzüge der mikroökonomischen Theorie, bei der drei Fragen im Zentrum des Interesses stehen: Mit welcher Güternachfrage maximiert ein privater Haushalt für ein gegebenes Einkommen und gegebene Preise seinen Nutzen? Mit welchem Güterangebot maximiert ein privates Unternehmen für gegebene Güter- und Faktorpreise seinen Gewinn? Wie bildet sich aus Angebot und Nachfrage der Marktpreis? In den Text integrierte Übungsaufgaben erleichtern eine gezielte Prüfungsvorbeitung.

Why do brilliant ideas so often fail to make it through the organisations that need them most?The problem is rarely the idea itself. Good ideas stall because organisations are political systems: places where competing priorities, hidden resistance, shifting alliances and questions of trust determine what gets attention, resources and support.In The Architecture of Influence, leadership experts Allen Morrison, Cyril Bouquet and Philippe Bonnet reveal how to navigate these forces and turn promising ideas into lasting impact.Drawing on original research with senior leaders around the world and compelling stories from organizations including LEGO, Boeing, Amazon, SpaceX, Netflix, Novo Nordisk, Samsung and Ørsted, they identify the three forces every leader needs: Adaptive Power, to build the backing that gets ideas moving; Organisational Acumen, to understand how decisions really get made; and Earned Trust, to keep people committed when the outcome is uncertain.Practical, insightful and grounded in the realities of organizational life, The Architecture of Influence is a guide to getting your ideas heard, building the support they need and creating organizations where innovation can thrive.Having a great idea is only the beginning. The real challenge is making it win.
