Options as a Strategic Investment

Fifth Edition

When to Take the Long Road in a Shortcut World

ASAP: As SLOW as Possible

Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science

This is the first book to present a new approach of institutional design as an evolutionary applied policy based on coherent conceptualization and methodology, and to study the actuality and implications of diversifying real/virtual community currencies. In contrast to a de facto standard theory, an institutional ecosystem can be composed of various institutions that continue to coexist with changing relative frequencies. In this view, diversified monetary institutions with local rules are feasible and realistic. Community currencies are worldwide attempts to redress such problems as financial instability, chronic stagnation, and decline of communities caused by globalization of the economy. Considering those alternative movements as a new type of policy, "evolutionist institutional design", this book clarifies the feasibility and significance of community currencies in the current era of globalization. The book also provides a better understanding than mainstream approaches of such platform institutions as money that determine fundamental means of cognition and action of interacting agents. Money is a symbolically generalized communication medium in the mesodomain that mediates between socioeconomic performance and patterns in the macrodomain and motives and cognitive frameworks in the microdomain. Conventional national systems of money and finance are platform institutions that determine basic replicators for a capitalistic market economy to evolve. In contrast, community currencies conveying both economic and social/cultural values are distinct platform institutions that are expected to endogenously change such basic replicators in outer and inner institutions for agents to a noncapitalistic market economy. These currencies are considered target institutions for "media design" in the framework of evolutionist institutional design.

An Evolutionist Institutional Design Approach

Community Currency

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.

The Handbook for Making Better Decisions Faster

Decide in an Hour

The need for resilience at organisational, department and individual level has never been greater. Geopolitical conflict, climate change, supply chain disruption and political instability are just a handful of the risks that leaders must mitigate to ensure stable business operation and optimum effectiveness. Project resilience refers to the ability of a project or initiative to anticipate, adapt and recover from unexpected challenges, disruptions or uncertainties. It involves the capacity to withstand shocks, maintain functionality in the face of adversity, and quickly recover to a stable state. Resilient projects underpin resilient organisations; a resilient organisation produces sustainable competitive advantage. This book offers a structured framework - the Project Resilience Maturity Model - to assess and enhance resilience in organisations. The authors begin by considering different approaches to project resilience, and by identifying potential tensions therein. In the second part, methods of sustaining project resilience are examined, focusing on the perspective of the project manager, personal responsibility and leadership. The latter part of the textbook provides practical tools and applications to assess and enhance project resilience. Throughout, the authors employ a pedagogical framework designed to ensure maximum effectiveness for students and practitioners. Chapters are organised to reflect the evolution of project resilience maturity and concepts are introduced in a sequential order that builds on what has come before, with Key Takeaways summarising each chapter's most critical points. Fictional case studies illustrate how topics can be implemented in a project management setting, while Key and Dormant Tensions highlight potential blind spots. Demystifying complex topics without sacrificing scholarly rigour, Project Resilience provides you with a strategic approach to ensuring projects are well-equipped to withstand uncertainties and adapt to dynamic conditions. It is the perfect textbook to support advanced Project Management and Organisational Resilience courses, and to provide practical methods for leading responsible organisations.

Lawton Robert Burns is the James Joo-Jin Kim Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a professor in the Departments of Management and Health Care Management at the Wharton School.

Healthcare systems in the United States have engaged in multiple strategies of diversification over the past four decades. These strategies include horizontal integration, vertical integration, market diversification, unrelated business diversification, and financial risk contracts. Most of these strategies have not worked well. A growing number of these systems have already gone bankrupt, while others are teetering on bankruptcy. This volume depicts the strategies undertaken, the difficulties encountered, and the ensuing financial tragedy at three prominent systems: Allegheny Health Education and Research Foundation (AHERF), Jefferson Health System, and Steward Health Care. It also develops a grounded theory of how and why such bankruptcies occur.

The grounded theory identifies the main drivers of bankruptcy. These include forces at work in the executive suite, such as self-interest, self-preservation, and mimicry of other firms. Executives are also encouraged by investment bankers to enter into diversification strategies that involve acquisitions of other companies and grow the footprint of their organizations. In sum, executives are driven by personal ambitions and aspirations for their firms. Another set of drivers include lack of oversight exercised by the firm's board of directors, the speed with which diversification is undertaken, the lack of due diligence in reviewing other firms that are acquired, the failure to learn the historical lessons of other companies that have undertaken diversification, the failure to undertake strategies that are rooted in empirical evidence, the inability of diversifying firms to manage the complexity of the diverse operations they undertake and the diverse markets into which they diversify, the choice of the wrong markets to diversity into and the timing of these choices, and the failure to consider whether such strategies can succeed in an industry as complex as healthcare.

If that were not enough, other forces can doom diversification efforts. These include the lack of sufficient capital to sustain diversification, the resulting reliance on debt capital which often swamps firms, and the many mistaken beliefs and assumptions held by executives. Finally, environmental changes and unforeseen events severely challenge corporate strategy. Such changes often plague efforts to undertake risk contracting. None of these changes or events are considered in strategic planning.

How To Live An Extraordinary Life

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.
