International Marketing

„Organizations matter“ – kulturelle und künstlerische Wertschöpfung findet in der Moderne ihren Weg zu Publika, Rezipienten und Nutzern nicht mehr primär über private, elitäre Zirkel von Adel oder Klerus, sondern wird seit der Entfaltung bürgerlicher Öffentlichkeiten durch Kulturorganisationen vermittelt. Die Wahrnehmung und Nutzung von Kunst und Kultur ist seitdem primär das Resultat eines Organisationsprozesses, der von korporativen Akteuren – privatwirtschaftlichen Unternehmungen, öffentlichen und staatlichen Organisationen, gemeinnützigen Stiftungen – angeleitet wird und welcher durch seine immer stärke Ausrichtung am Markt sowohl neue Freiheiten aber auch Zwänge für Künstler einerseits und Nutzer andererseits geschaffen hat. Kulturorganisationen und ihr Personal bestimmen maßgeblich über die Produktion, Distribution und Rezeption von Kunst und Kultur. Sie legen z. B. die Kontexte und Orte ihrer Aufführung und Vermittlung fest, oder nehmen sogar Einfluss auf deren Pro-duktion und Nutzung/Re-Produktion, etwa durch die Einflussnahme auf künstlerische Wertschöpfung oder die Reklamation von Leistungsschutzrechten.

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.

A Memoir

Without Prejudice

Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics

This book reassesses classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development in the context of the present intensified process of financialization and the accentuation of combined and accelerating uneven development. In particular, the work of Hilferding and Luxemburg is discussed and re-framed in light of both the contributions of Marx and more recent engagements by David Harvey and Neil Smith. The book explores the case of South Africa in particular in light of the combination of a rapidly financializing yet crisis-ridden South African political economy on the one hand and intensifying social inequality and political conflict on the other.&nbsp;It explores a series of strategies and possibilities that might open up trajectories for change and transformation with particular attention paid to the promises and constraints of the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, which will appeal to political economists, researchers, and students alongside those studying South Africa specifically. Patrick Bond is a political economist and professor at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. He spent more than two decades teaching at the Wits University School of Governance in Johannesburg and the University of KwaZulu-Natal Centre for Civil Society in Durban. During the late 1980s he pursued doctoral studies in economic geography at Johns Hopkins University, while learning politics in the anti-apartheid, labour, student and community movements. In 1994 and 1996, he worked in the Reconstruction and Development Ministry in President Nelson Mandela’s office, drafting the democratic government’s first White Paper and a dozen other major policy documents. He appears more than 100 times a year on South African and international broadcast media, and usually gives more than 50 guest lectures annually.

The American healthcare crisis is not a failure of good intentions-it is the success of a system designed to put profits first.Doctors dedicate their lives to saving patients. Insurance companies dedicate theirs to protecting shareholders. Between them lies a battlefield where ordinary Americans pay the price-with their health, their savings, and too often, their lives.In The Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel, Dr. Erica Rowe Urquhart-orthopedic surgeon, MBA, and private practice owner-pulls back the curtain on the insurers' playbook. Drawing on decades of frontline experience, she reveals how prior authorizations, retroactive denials, and deliberately confusing policies are not bureaucratic inefficiencies, but intentional tactics engineered to delay care, deny claims, and drive patients into financial ruin.Through vivid case studies, from children forced to wait weeks for urgent surgery to patients abandoned mid-treatment, Dr. Urquhart shows how the system weaponizes time and paperwork against the very people it is meant to serve. She exposes the double standards that allow executives and lobbyists to flourish while patients and doctors struggle, and documents how Congress routinely chooses political donations over patient lives.But this book is more than an exposé. With surgical precision, Dr. Urquhart dissects the root causes of America's fractured system and offers a prescription for change. She shows readers what they need to know about their rights, their coverage, and the hidden economic forces shaping every medical bill.If you have ever battled an insurance denial, waited months for a procedure you urgently needed, or opened a bill that defied comprehension, this book will confirm your frustrations-and empower you with knowledge.Unflinching, urgent, and deeply human, The Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel is not just a diagnosis of corruption. It is a call to action.

The Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel

China hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine beeindruckende Transformation vollzogen. Dennoch wird das Bild Chinas in der westlichen Welt oft von veralteten Vorstellungen und Klischees bestimmt.
