And then things get really weird.You see, on every map of Portland there is a big splotch of green in the center of the city labeled “I.W.” This stands for “Impassable Wilderness.” No one’s ever gone in -- or at least returned to tell of it.And this is where the crows take her brother.So begins an adventure that will take Prue and her friend Curtis deep into the Impassable Wilderness. There they uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval, a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much bigger as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness.A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.WILDWOOD is a spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic that juxtaposes the thrill of a secret world and modern city life.

With dozens of intricate and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Carson Ellis, WILDWOOD is truly a new classic for the twenty-first century.

Organisation

Trotz hoher Professionalität, stabiler Systeme und klarer Prozesse werden IT-Organisationen in vielen Unternehmen als zu langsam, schwer steuerbar und unzureichend wirksam wahrgenommen. Das Problem liegt nicht in mangelnder Kompetenz oder Umsetzung, sondern in einem überholten Führungs- und Steuerungsverständnis. Dieses Fachbuch zeigt, wie Lean-Denken als Führungs- und Steuerungsrahmen IT-Organisationen wirksamer macht – ohne sie in operative Methodenprogramme oder Effizienzinitiativen zu drängen. Lean wird hier nicht als Werkzeugkasten, sondern als Haltung für Führung, Verantwortung und Systemgestaltung verstanden. Der interne Kunde bildet den Referenzpunkt für die Wirkung der IT.
Dieses Buch richtet sich an CIOs, IT-Führungskräfte und Entscheider, die IT nicht länger als technische Funktion begreifen, sondern als integralen Bestandteil der Unternehmenssteuerung. Zahlreiche Executive Impulse helfen bei der schnellen Umsetzung in die eigene Praxis. Ein Self-Assessment Check ermöglicht eine faktenbasierte Standortbestimmung der realen Service-Wirksamkeit.

Ein Steuerungs- und Führungsmodell für moderne IT-Organisationen

Lean Leadership in der IT

By the New York Times’s Global Economics Correspondent, an extraordinary journey to understand the worldwide supply chain—exposing both the fascinating pathways of manufacturing and transportation that bring products to your doorstep, and the ruthless business logic that has left local communities at the mercy of a complex and fragile network for their basic necessities."A tale that will change how you look at the world."&nbsp;—Mark LeibovichNamed a Best Book of the Year by Foreign Policy and The Aspen Institute * Longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book AwardHow does the wealthiest country on earth run out of protective gear in the middle of a public health catastrophe? How do its parents find themselves unable to locate crucially needed infant formula? How do its largest companies spend billions of dollars making cars that no one can drive for a lack of chips?The last few years have radically highlighted the intricacy and fragility of the global supply chain. Enormous ships were stuck at sea, warehouses overflowed, and delivery trucks stalled. The result was a scarcity of everything from breakfast cereal to medical devices, from frivolous goods to lifesaving necessities. And while the scale of the pandemic shock was unprecedented, it underscored the troubling reality that this system built on Just in Time principles was fundamentally at risk of descending into chaos all along. And it still is. Sabotaged by financial interests, a loss of transparency in markets, and worsening working conditions for the people tasked with keeping the gears turning, our global supply chain has become perpetually on the brink of collapse.In How the World Ran Out of Everything, award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman reveals the fascinating innerworkings of our supply chain and the factors that have led to its constant, dangerous vulnerability. His reporting takes readers deep into the elaborate system, showcasing the triumphs and struggles of the human players who operate it—from factories in Asia and an almond grower in Northern California, to a group of striking railroad workers in Texas, to a truck driver who Goodman accompanies across hundreds of miles of the Great Plains. Through their stories, Goodman weaves a powerful argument for reforming a supply chain to become truly reliable and resilient, demanding a radical redrawing of the bargain between labor and shareholder interests, and deeper attention paid to how we get the things we need.From one of the most respected voices in economic journalism working today, How the World Ran Out of Everything is a fiercely smart, deeply informative look at how our supply chain operates, and why its reform is crucial—not only to avoid dysfunction in our day to day lives, but to protect the fate of our global fortunes.&nbsp;This riveting work of economic journalism breaks down the complexities of modern globalization and reveals: <ul><li>The Just in Time Fallacy: Discover how a sensible manufacturing philosophy was twisted to prioritize shareholder interests over resilience, setting the stage for global shortages and widespread inflation.</li><li>Human Cost of Efficiency: Journey from factories in Asia to the highways of the Great Plains and meet the human players—from truck drivers to railroad workers—exploited to keep the gears of commerce turning.</li><li>Monopoly Power and Price Hikes: Investigate how decades of deregulation allowed a few monopolistic companies to dominate key industries, engineering scarcity to boost profits during a worldwide catastrophe.</li><li>The Future of the Supply Chain: Explore the urgent arguments for reforming the system through reshoring and nearshoring to build a more reliable and resilient network for the things we need.</li></ul>

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS’ CHOICE • NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF FALL BY: The New York Times, Associated Press, Goodreads, NPR, Harper’s Bazaar, Los Angeles Times, and more A mesmerizing portrait of an aging man’s last pilgrimage, from the award-winning author of The Girls and The Guest. “Piercing and suspenseful.”—The Wall Street Journal “Bold . . . arresting . . . stylistically adventurous.”—The Boston Globe “Profoundly moving.”—The Guardian A private plane cuts through the winter night, somewhere over Greenland. David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting. A mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable. This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades. His final destination is Zurich. David glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. A summer at a school friend’s house. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life. As David’s arrival in Zurich looms, an exquisitely rendered portrait of an unraveling mind emerges, both darkly humorous and profoundly moving. Hypnotic and startlingly original, Switzy probes the depths of human consciousness, revealing what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the illusions he's relied on, vanish.

A Critical Look at the Organisation and its Future

The New Organisational Behaviour, Volume II

Warum scheitern selbst hochentwickelte Industriestaaten trotz enormer finanzieller Ressourcen immer wieder daran, rechtzeitig wirksame militärische Fähigkeiten bereitzustellen? Anhand der Entwicklung deutscher Wehr- und Rüstungsorganisation vom Flottengesetz des Jahres 1898 bis zur Zeitenwende untersucht dieses Buch die strukturellen Ursachen erfolgreicher und gescheiterter Verteidigungsplanung. Im Mittelpunkt steht nicht die Bewertung einzelner Waffensysteme, sondern die grundlegende Frage, wie politische Entscheidungen, industrielle Kapazitäten und militärische Anforderungen zu tatsächlicher Handlungsfähigkeit zusammengeführt werden können. Das Ergebnis ist ein organisationswissenschaftlicher Blick auf mehr als ein Jahrhundert deutscher Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik - und ein Beitrag zur strategischen Debatte über die Zukunft Europas.
