Sustainability and Adaptability of Gig
Economies in Global Business

Sustainability and Adaptability of Gig Economies in Global Business

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.

A grounded guide to thinking bigger with AI-and putting both human and machine intelligence to work across business and everyday life In The Intelligence Leap: How Humans + AI will Solve Problems, Reimagine Business, and Improve Lives, Gopi Kallayil, the Global AI Business Strategist and Leader at Google, argues that AI is the most profound invention in human history-for one specific reason. Nearly every major tool before it extended our physical capabilities. AI amplifies our cognitive abilities, which represents a leap in human intelligence. It doesn't replace our natural intelligence; it complements it, so that a single person can now harness the thinking power of an entire team. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with the world's top executives, Kallayil turns that shift into something any leader can actually use. He starts by demystifying AI in plain English-how it works, and what it's genuinely good at versus what it isn't. From there he makes his central case: the biggest breakthroughs won't come from working faster, but from non-linear thinkers who reimagine the problem entirely, the way Uber's founders stitched together maps, GPS, and idle cars into something the taxi and car rental industries never saw coming. AI doesn't hand out big ideas, but it supercharges the people who have them-empowering them to chase even bolder ones and build disruptions that dwarf what we've seen so far. The rest of the book brings all of this down to earth. Kallayil looks at business through four lenses-consumer behavior, marketing, service delivery, and operations-and gives readers practical frameworks alongside case studies from hospitality, retail, financial services, healthcare, and transportation. Throughout, his message stays consistent: this is a moment of extraordinary opportunity, and it belongs to whoever has the best idea and can act on it first. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>A jargon-free explanation of how AI actually works-what it's uniquely good at, and where it still falls short</li> <li>Why non-linear thinking, not raw effort or technical expertise, produces real breakthroughs-and how AI helps those thinkers reach solutions no one else has found</li> <li>The four conditions that spark non-linear thinking inside any organization</li> <li>Case studies from six industries-hospitality, transportation, retail, financial services, auto, and healthcare-showing the same transformation play out in strikingly different ways</li> <li>A grounded, optimistic take on AI's real risks-and the guardrails that let you move fast without getting burned</li> </ul> Ideal for business leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone trying to understand where they fit in an AI-powered world, The Intelligence Leap offers a grounded way to combine human and artificial intelligence-to solve problems, transform organizations, and create lasting value.

This book introduces a modern, evidence‑based way of understanding technology projects, explains why traditional management techniques need to evolve in &nbsp;complex digital environments, and shows how adaptive leadership enables teams to navigate uncertainty.Technology projects are no longer defined by stable requirements, predictable technologies, or linear execution. Yet many organisations continue to manage them as if they were. The result is persistent failure, frustration, and wasted investment.Project management in the digital age offers a fundamentally different perspective. Grounded in empirical evidence and real-world experience, this book reframes technology projects as sociotechnical systems, complex, adaptive environments where outcomes emerge from the interaction of people, technology, and organisational context.Moving beyond traditional planning and control, the book positions adaptive leadership as the central capability required for success. Readers are introduced to practical frameworks for navigating complexity, making decisions under uncertainty, and selecting delivery approaches that fit real conditions rather than ideological preferences. Drawing on concepts such as complexity science, the Cynefin framework, agile and DevOps practices, and organisational learning, the book provides both intellectual clarity and practical guidance.Written for professionals, students, and researchers alike, Technology Project Management equips readers to move beyond methodology debates and develop the judgment, sense making ability, and leadership capability that contemporary technology projects demand.

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.
