<b>Winner, 2021 Porchlight Business Book of the Year Award, for Leadership and Strategy&nbsp;</b><br><br>"THE MOST UNLIKELY OF PEOPLE, IN THE MOST IMPROBABLE OF CIRCUMSTANCES,<br>CAN BECOME EXTRAORDINARY."<br><br>WE NEED MORE LEADERS.<br>From socio-political chaos and workplace disruption to the climate change crisis, we have<br>never needed people with the skill and will to collaborate to create a better world more<br>than now. We need people who are willing to fill the leadership void. People who will<br>embrace the influence they have. People who believe in improving society and workplace<br>culture - not only because it makes life better, but because it is proven to yield positive<br>results.<br>The Promises of Giants is a challenge to anyone who aspires to make a difference in their<br>environment. Over fourteen promises, it seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes and<br>workplace and social observation with the latest research, to provide practical, proven tips<br>and strategies to empower you to maximize your own potential and inspire others. It is<br>not a self-help book.<br><br>It is a how-to guide for winning, rooted in the belief that the most<br>unlikely of people, in the most improbable of circumstances, can become extraordinary.<br>John Amaechi well understands the responsibilities and potential that come with being a<br>giant. The Promises of Giants is the product of a lifetime spent observing and studying<br>effective leadership - from accompanying his mother's visits to her dying patients to<br>competing at the highest levels of professional sport, through two decades of<br>management consulting with multinational corporations. These experiences have shown<br>that everyone has the ability to act decisively to influence the world in a positive way.<br><br>Everyone is a giant to someone.</p>

The Promises of Giants


<p>
Seminar paper from the year 2025 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Hanover (Fakultät IV Wirtschaft und Informatik), course: Risk Management, language: English, abstract: This paper examines Volkswagen's future viability in the face of major social, political, and technological changes in the automotive industry. It argues that VW remains highly important for Germany and Lower Saxony, but is under growing pressure due to falling profitability, weak plant utilization, declining sales momentum, and an ongoing restructuring process. The paper first outlines Volkswagen's current situation and then analyzes the changing environment in which the company operates. 

The analysis highlights several external pressures. Socially, urbanization, changing mobility behavior, environmental awareness, weak consumer sentiment, and a shortage of IT specialists are described as important trends. Politically, the paper points to stricter CO2 regulation, the planned phaseout of combustion engines in Europe, changing subsidy policies, protectionism, and Germany's locational disadvantages such as high labor and energy costs. Technologically, it focuses on the shift to electromobility, software-defined vehicles, digital connectivity, raw-material dependencies, and semiconductor shortages. 

The core of the paper is a structured risk analysis using rating approaches from Moody's, Standard &amp; Poor's, Fitch, and Scope. It identifies key risks such as declining market share, especially in Asia, intense competition from Chinese manufacturers, weak software capabilities, dependence on combustion-engine business in Europe, ownership-related governance conflicts, CO2 penalty risks, and supply-chain vulnerabilities. At the same time, the paper notes opportunities including VW's strong liquidity, broad product portfolio, market leadership in Europe, restructuring efforts, and potential economies of scale. 

The overall conclusion is that Volkswagen still has the industrial scale and financial strength to remain viable, but only if it adapts faster and more decisively to technological disruption, regulatory change, and geopolitical pressure. At present, the paper concludes that the risks outweigh the opportunities.</p>

This book provides an in-depth legal examination of limited partnership in the context of China's venture capital and private equity market. It aims to provide an authoritative and timely evaluation of the Chinese partnership law and limited partnership regime and will be a valuable tool for practitioners who need a readily available source of information on Chinese partnership law and those who wish to understand how the Chinese partnership regime operates and functions. The book explains the essential characteristics of Chinese partnership law and Chinese limited partnership, highlighting difficult and developing areas by examining relevant legislation and recent cases. In addition to Chinese authorities, it also covers legislation and cases from overseas jurisdictions, such as the UK and the US. New developments such as the amendments to the PRC Partnership Enterprise Law 2007, new legislation and regulations on foreign partnerships and private equity funds are also covered. The book explains the essential areas of Chinese limited partnership such as management and control, duties and liabilities of partners, remedies for limited partners, dissolution, liquidation and taxation. Based on thorough comparative and empirical studies, the book examines existing and potential legal problems under the current law and offers key proposals for practitioners and lawmakers. The empirical problems identified in the book may also guide subsequent discussion and legislation on the limited partnership model and the ongoing debate on new business vehicles.

Afrika ist mehr als Krisen und Klischees. Mit persönlichen Erfahrungen aus über 300 Reisen zeigt Stefan Liebing, wo der Kontinent zwischen großen Herausforderungen und enormem Potenzial steht. Er erklärt, warum Afrika für Themen wie Klima, Energie, Migration und globale Politik entscheidend ist – und warum die 2030er-Jahre zum afrikanischen Jahrzehnt werden. Ein Buch, das zum Umdenken einlädt und neue Perspektiven auf unseren Nachbarkontinent eröffnet.

Afrika ist vielfältig – 54 Länder, 54 Realitäten. Der Kontinent erlebt einen wirtschaftlichen Aufbruch: Digitalisierung, erneuerbare Energien und neue Wachstumszentren verändern die Landschaft. Gleichzeitig wandelt sich die Gesellschaft rasant – eine junge Bevölkerung, Fortschritte in Gesundheit und Bildung sowie zunehmende Urbanisierung prägen das Bild. Das Buch zeigt, warum Afrika in den kommenden Jahren eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Lösung globaler Herausforderungen spielen wird. Ohne Afrika wird es keinen wirksamen Klimaschutz, keine nachhaltige Migrationspolitik und keinen funktionierenden Multilateralismus geben.</p>

Palgrave Studies of Internationalization in Emerging Markets


<p>
</p><p>This book provides a global picture of &nbsp;automotive industry development in emerging countries through the lens of global value chain analysis. Over the past two decades, auto production increasingly shifted to emerging economies, marking a significant reconfiguration of the global auto industry. This volume traces such shift to illustrate industrial development dynamics, focusing on new global players, their industrial strategies and on the structural characteristics of these emerging markets. It features chapters devoted to the theoretical analysis of industrial development in emerging countries, and collects a wide range of country cases illustrating different trajectories of auto industrialisation. These include better-known cases of dominant players as well as still underexplored cases such as Argentina, Hungary, Poland, Morocco, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam. This book will provide valuable reading to those researching globalization and emerging countries, their comparative industrialisation, and the intersection of government policies and business strategy, specifically concerning the automotive industry.&nbsp;</p>

The Simple Path to Wealth Workbook


<p>
</p><div>This book examines the structural asymmetries embedded in contemporary consumer credit systems. Trust—essential to economic exchange—is increasingly withheld from borrowers while demanded of them. Lenders operate with minimal visibility or accountability; borrowers must navigate opaque infrastructures, absorb unilateral judgments, and bear the consequences of exclusion.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Over the past two decades, credit markets have expanded through algorithmic risk assessment and automated decision-making. Yet the cost of evaluating ‘creditworthiness’—and the entrenchment of risk-based pricing—has deepened exclusion for those experiencing financial difficulty. Surveillance-based scoring systems discipline borrower behaviour, obscure hardship, and produce reputational harm that reverberates across households and public institutions.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>At the centre of the book is the Trust Intelligent framework: a seven-domain model for diagnosing and redesigning trust–power configurations in credit relationships. It operationalises trust to reduce systemic risk, improve decision accuracy, and restore borrower agency. Grounded in empirical evidence, the framework supports practical reforms—integrating contextual data into credit files, rendering lender conduct visible, and establishing multistakeholder oversight of algorithmic systems.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Rather than accepting the trajectory of deeper data extraction and one-sided surveillance, the book proposes a reciprocal model of information exchange—one that improves outcomes and embeds mutual accountability. It offers a blueprint for reform that is both conceptually rigorous and institutionally actionable.</div>
<div>&nbsp;
<this is="" a="" book="" for="" those="" who="" design,="" regulate,="" and="" critique="" credit="" systems:="" lenders,="" reference="" agencies,="" financial="" regulators,="" consumer="" advocates,="" scholars="" of="" trust,="" governance,="" institutional="" design.="" drawing="" on="" economics,="" sociology,="" political="" science,="" organisational="" studies,="" it="" presents="" multidisciplinary="" account="" how="" trust="" can="" be="" rebuilt&mdash;within="" beyond="" credit.<="" div="">
