Practical courage frameworks for auditors navigating AI and regulatory pressure&nbsp; Auditing with Courage: Reimagining Assurance and Building Trust in the Age of AI, written by PCAOB Board Member Christina Ho, combines memoir with actionable guidance for auditors facing today's most difficult professional challenges. Ho draws on lived experience dissenting from within the system to show auditors how to stand firm when it matters most.&nbsp; Auditing with Courage provides practical frameworks for speaking up at every career stage, grounded in Ho's journey from Tiananmen Square to confronting U.S. Senators. The book addresses the growing need for independent AI assurance, explaining why auditors are uniquely positioned to provide it and how principled courage strengthens both the profession and public trust. Real-world scenarios cover AI-driven risk assessments and pressure to approve unsafe systems.&nbsp; Readers will also find:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Courage frameworks that move beyond abstract ethics to audit-specific guidance for challenging management decisions and questioning AI outputs&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Real-world scenarios addressing AI-driven risk assessments and the regulatory uncertainties surrounding emerging technologies&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Insights from an insider who dissented from within the system rather than leaving, offering a perspective distinct from whistleblower narratives&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Practical strategies for building independent AI assurance capabilities as AI systems increasingly influence credit approvals, insurance pricing, and investments&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Guidance for auditors at every career stage on how to speak up when pressured to approve systems that may cause harm&nbsp;</li> </ul> Auditing with Courage is written for external auditors, internal auditors, government auditors, accounting engineers, and accounting students who need concrete guidance for exercising professional courage in technically complex situations.

Drawing from his foundational work on leveraging influence without authority, this 90-day reader helps you navigate the tension of having great responsibility but very little power.Each day is designed to be a "snackable" but substantial 5-minute read, perfect for your morning coffee or the commute to the office.

You have everything you need to start leading right where you are. Real influence starts here.

International Series in Operations Research & Management Science

This book presents a rigorous, practitioner-ready framework for determining when interventional causal claims can be validly drawn from observational data. By integrating potential outcomes (PO), structural causal models (SCMs), directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), quasi-experimental and longitudinal designs, information-theoretic approaches, and modern machine-learning methods with decision-analytic principles, it identifies necessary conditions for each step of the causal inference process, from defining estimands and identifying causal effects to study design, measurement, estimation, interpretation, robustness, and external validity. The framework is operationalized through practical checklists, tables, diagnostic and falsification tests, and AI-assisted tools, making it accessible across fields such as epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, and regulatory risk analysis. Designed to meet the needs of professionals making high-stakes decisions based on nonexperimental data, the book addresses the lack of clear, testable criteria for credible causal inference. Real-world examples throughout the book illustrate diagnostics, falsification tests, and robustness checks, linking evidence directly to decision-making. Bridging multiple causal frameworks and modern machine-learning methods, it equips readers to assess when data support cause-and-effect conclusions, supporting more responsible, evidence-based policy and risk management.The book offers health risk analysts, epidemiologists, and policy professionals a practical guide to valid causal inference from observational data. It is also ideal for graduate students and workshop participants in data science, decision analysis, risk analysis, and AI/ML applications.

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World

Corporate Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Algorithmic Management: Artificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Organizations is the first comprehensive textbook designed to prepare management students to engage critically and responsibly with artificial intelligence in organizations. Bringing together classical management theory, contemporary AI applications, and systematic power analysis, the book equips future managers to both harness AI's potential and confront its risks.Structured in three parts, the book begins with foundational frameworks-socio-technical systems theory, technology and society perspectives, and core management theories reinterpreted for the AI era. It then examines applications across all major management functions-Marketing, HR, Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Strategy-using over 30 real-world case studies drawn from different industries, parts of the world, and types of organizations from multinational corporations to nonprofits and social ventures. The final section addresses organizational design, leadership, governance, and the future of algorithmic organizations. Throughout, pedagogical features-learning objectives, vignettes, discussion questions, toolkits, and ethical dilemmas-make the book classroom-ready and adaptable across MBA, undergraduate, and executive education settings. The text advances an approach of pragmatic criticality: AI is neither celebrated uncritically nor rejected outright but treated as a socio-technical phenomenon requiring managerial judgment, ethical reflection, and contextual awareness.By bridging management theory, functional practice, and critical perspectives, this book fills a critical market gap and is positioned to become the definitive teaching resource on AI and management for business education worldwide.
