Benevides R: Taxation of Big Tech in
Latin America

Taxation of Big Tech in Latin America

What multinationals need to know about the region's evolving digital tax rules

When an AI initiative dies, the machine takes the blame. It's almost always the wrong suspect. Every executive who has quietly shelved an AI project has the same explanation ready: the model underperformed, the vendor oversold, the technology "wasn't there yet." In Prevail: What Leaders Must Do Now That Machines Can't Manage, Dr. Tim Bottke argues that this story is a convenient way to avoid the real culprit - a chain of management decisions made long before anyone trained a model. The bug isn't in the technology. It's in us. Bottke turns two decades of decision data into a working diagnostic. PREVAIL starts at the ground floor, where leaders reach for the tool before they've named the problem, and moves up through data, experimentation, ownership, measurement, funding, and governance. The uncomfortable finding is that the damage concentrates on the ground floor and compounds as management builds on those decisions.&nbsp; Readers will discover: <ul> <li>Why AI initiatives fail and how to course correct before the budget is committed</li> <li>Chapter checklists that allow for a working audit</li> <li>Action lists for the operator fixing a rollout, the executive shaping a portfolio, and the board member or investor stress-testing a proposal</li> <li>The one question that predicts success better than anything: what problem does this solve?</li> <li>Composite case studies based on public filings that show each failure pattern in the wild, and the fix that would have caught it</li> <li>A shared vocabulary for boards, investors, and operators to pressure-test any AI proposal</li> <li>What the market actually does when companies admit an AI failure&nbsp;</li> </ul> &nbsp; Prevail is written for those who need something firmer than hype to judge what's in front of them.&nbsp;

What Leaders Must Do Now Because Machines Can't Manage

'The Principle of Democracy and International Tax Law. Taxation without Representation?': International tax law faces challenges with respect to the legitimation and representation requirements of the German constitutional principle of democracy. Based on the close connection between taxation and democracy, this work highlights deficits in the internal and external system of international tax law in the realization of the principle of democracy and develops approaches to mitigate them.

Taxation without Representation?

Demokratieprinzip und Internationales Steuerrecht

On the eve of the AI revolution, Google had strayed far from its roots. No longer a scrappy startup, it increasingly prized share price over innovation, its motto "Don't be Evil" all but abandoned. Then, within hours of ChatGPT's 2022 launch, tech insiders were openly proclaiming the company's death. Especially galling for Google employees was that they had invented the underlying technology and created their own chatbot far earlier, only for executives to waffle and quash it. Twenty years after Larry Page noted that "artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google," the company was caught completely off guard. Once synonymous with inventiveness, Google had become a sclerotic, self-serving bureaucracy and squandered its commanding lead in AI. With unparalleled insider access within the company, Google on the Brink charts the full story of Google's engagement with AI: recruiting top scientists such as Geoffrey Hinton, acquiring Demis Hassabis' DeepMind and developing driverless Waymo cars. We see Page and co-founder Sergey Brin hand control to CEO Sundar Pichai, and tensions mount between old Google and new. As the company competes with Microsoft and OpenAI over the future of artificial intelligence and cozies up to President Trump and the military, it faces an internal battle for its soul. Ultimately, it would take Brin's return- and the risk-taking and engineering brilliance of the early Google-to keep the company a contender in the race to superintelligence.

'I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life.' Steve JobsSteve Jobs in Exile tells the largely unexplored story of the dozen years Steve Jobs spent building NeXt in the aftermath of his firing from Apple, the company he founded, in 1985. This period would see Jobs at his most creative, vulnerable and intense. It would redefine him as a designer and a leader, ultimately leading to the later resurgence and dominance of Apple following his triumphant return. Yet this crucial period remains woefully under-covered. Award-winning writer Geoffrey Cain changes that.Utilising a trove of new material, including dozens of hours of unbroadcast footage of Jobs at NeXT's meetings and retreats, new interviews and unpublished oral histories with Jobs and his colleagues, new first-hand material and countless internal documents, Steve Jobs in Exile is the definitive history of the most remarkable period in the life of Steve Jobs.

Every career is a journey, every journey needs a compass, and behind every compass there is a navigator: a human. Set course in your career using the The Cybersecurity Compass. Blending four decades of technological upheaval with a deeply human career journey, The Cybersecurity Compass reveals how cybersecurity evolved from a niche technical craft into one of the most critical business disciplines of our time. Through personal stories, industry-defining moments, and hard-earned wisdom, Ali Waezzadah shows readers that true success in cybersecurity comes not just from technical skill, but from communication, leadership, resilience, and the courage to trust your own compass. Rather than focusing solely on technology, the book explores the human side of the profession, including the mindset needed to thrive in an ever-changing industry. Whether you are just beginning your cybersecurity career, preparing for leadership, or looking to broaden your impact, Ali offers practical insights and timeless principles to help you chart your own path with confidence, purpose, and humility.

Companies are buying, selling, and managing AI as if it were software. But AI does not behave like software—and that mismatch is quietly fracturing growth models, org structures, metrics, dashboards, and investment decisions across the global enterprise. While organizations can track what they are spending on AI models and infrastructure, few have the commercial, organizational, and operational architecture to answer the era's hardest questions: How do we accurately price and capture the value of intelligent outcomes? How do we redesign our workforce and talent models beyond naive headcount cuts? How do we prove, measure, and scale real return across an enterprise built for human-operated software, not intelligent systems? In Quantware, technology pricing strategist Esra Kucukciftci reveals that these enterprise roadblocks are not temporary growing pains. They are the evidence of a fundamental economic paradigm shift from software to quantware: a new system of value creation that is dynamic, distributed, and continually evolving. This paradigm shift fundamentally rewrites the commercial and operational models. Where software sells tools, static features, and user access, quantware commercializes verifiable outcomes. It redefines what customers pay for, how providers prove performance, how contracts assign risk and revenue, and how enterprises evaluate true return on intelligent systems (ROIS). Kucukciftci outlines the blueprint for redesigning the enterprise around this post-software reality. She details the transition from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to Resolution-as-a-Service (RaaS), along with new approaches to AI outcome economics and dynamic contracts. Crucially, she introduces a new organizational design—The Dynamic Firm— built to align human talent with machine delivery alongside the PROVE framework to govern intelligent value creation at scale. Drawing on her experience advising global enterprise technology companies, private equity portfolios, and high-growth ventures, Kucukciftci addresses both sides of the post-software economy: the technology providers building AI offerings, and the enterprise leaders tasked with buying, implementing, and governing them. For leaders who know AI will reshape their business but lack the commercial, organizational, and operational models for what comes next, Quantware provides the language, architecture, and practical playbook to compete and win in the post-software era.

Human creativity is a skill that can be cultivated over a person's lifetime, supporting imagination, adaptability, and resilience. Drawing from decades of established creativity scholarship, Human Creativity in the Age of AI offers a guide to begin and sustain this journey. Rather than treating AI as a technical add-on or substitute for human thinking, this book examines whether and how to integrate AI intentionally into the creative process. The result is a collection of practical frameworks and resources for strengthening human creative capacity. These are designed to help navigate human + AI co-creation and foster meaningful innovation in our technologically mediated world.Designed for flexibility, the book can be read cover to cover, explored chapter by chapter, or opened at any point for reflection, discovery, and practical application.

Leading an IT services or consulting team isn't like leading other teams. The pressure is constant, the customers are visible, the escalations are real, and the margin for error is thin. Most leadership books were written from a distance. This one wasn't.Surrounded by Fire is a practical leadership guide for managers and executives in IT services and consulting environments... the people responsible for delivery, quality, and the humans doing the work. It was written from inside thirty years of that work, across managed services, consulting, and technical delivery organizations, by a leader who has managed through go-lives, burnout, escalations, talent crises, and the relentless pressure of keeping a service organization performing at a high standard.The book's central premise is simple. In a high-pressure environment, the leader is either a thermostat or a thermometer. A thermometer reflects the temperature of the room. A thermostat sets it. The difference between those two things... in a critical escalation, in a performance conversation, in a team that is quietly burning out... is everything.The book's philosophy is adaptive servant leadership. The conviction that caring for the people doing the work and holding them to a high standard are not competing obligations. They are the same obligation, practiced well.Across thirty chapters and six parts, Surrounded by Fire delivers frameworks that work under real conditions... not ideal ones. How to use CSAT as a diagnostic tool, not just a score. How to build psychological safety in a team that handles live customer environments. How to delegate without losing accountability. How to recognize burnout before it becomes attrition. How to develop leaders who leave stronger than they arrived. How to stay calm when the room isn't.These are not theories. They are tools... built, tested, broken, and rebuilt across real engagements with real consequences.If you lead people through the kind of work that doesn't stop when conditions get hard, this book was written for you.
