Sarkar D: Little Big Things in
Operational Excellence

Little Big Things in Operational Excellence

This accessible and thought-provoking book offers a critical exploration of global health philanthropy, blending personal narrative with a rigorous examination of the field's challenges and opportunities. Grounded in the authors' decades of experience, Crossroads in Global Health reflects on the transformative power of medicine, the complexities of global health engagement, and the enduring human impulse to alleviate suffering. The authors examine the tension between short-term relief and durable system change, and show how reframing global health as a marketplace, powered by data, analytics, and AI, can better match resources to need and turn goodwill into measurable impact.Key Features:· Explores the history, evolution, and critiques of global health, with a focus on discrete philanthropic medical missions.· Examines the landscape of global health needs and resources, shaped by logistics, incentives, and institutional structures.· Reflects on the authors' personal journeys in global health, offering insights into the challenges and lessons learned from decades of experience.· Proposes innovative approaches to harnessing data and technology to create a more efficient and accountable marketplace for global health philanthropy.· Balances the importance of systemic solutions with the moral imperative of immediate care, emphasizing the enduring value of direct human connection in medicine.Building on the authors' previous works, including the World Compendium of Healthcare Facilities and Nonprofit Organizations, this book is an essential resource for medical practitioners, academics, and professionals in the non-profit, public, and private sectors. It offers a compelling call to action for those seeking to make a meaningful impact in global health, while honoring the profound responsibility and transformative potential of the medical profession.

Passionately Transforming Management

"What an interesting agenda for this meeting." "Sustainability is a priority for our company." "We care deeply about our customers." Let's face it: We all lie. Sometimes to save face, to get out of a scrape or to protect someone's feelings, and sometimes for more malicious reasons. Generally, however, we only expect people to lie under certain circumstances, and we expect our professional environments to be beacons of truthful and honest behaviour. Deceit, untruth and disinformation have become part and parcel of the everyday political agenda. World leaders and business magnates unabashedly lie and peddle misinformation, from climate change denialism to anti-vaccine propaganda. In Passionately Transforming Management with Lies, Professor Johan Alvehus recognizes that such things are not only going on at the grand political stage - instead arguing that the utility of lies, deception and manipulation can provide key lessons for anyone interested in leadership. The author delves into differing philosophical perspectives on the morality of lying, before examining the various ways in which falsehoods find their way into our modern workplaces. Ultimately, we must begin re-assessing our professional hierarchies with a new clarity by rejecting the notion of a leader as a morally superior concept automatically deserving of adulation. We need to recognize that lies and manipulation are fundamental elements of accomplishing things in organizations. Even before working life starts, its truthfulness is dubious - who doesn't polish their CV to give a better impression? Bypassing formal structures, ensuring certain people are left out of decision processes, spreading non-factual 'visions' and lying to keep one's position safe are all essential for the accomplished manager. Passionately Transforming Management with Lying provides students, scholars and managers with a concise and provocative guide to identifying, utilising and manipulating bullshit culture.

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

The Black Dragon

A brutally honest journey into the world of asset management Asset management is the business of making money by investing money for other people. If you have a pension or any savings in the stock market, you are probably a customer. The active investment industry claims it can beat the market and make you rich, but it is under siege from passive competition and technological advances because of its track record of broken promises. How can the active investment business survive under such assault? Why do so many professional investors fail? Can sustainable investing save the industry and the planet? Why do fund managers become monsters? Answers can be found here.

When Alpha Equals Beta

This exciting new edition of Strategy and Human Resource Management explores how people strategy shapes organisational survival, performance and competitive advantage. It shows how HR strategy differs across organisations, industries and societies, and why those differences matter, offering a nuanced understanding of HRM in context rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Written by world-renowned authors, it provides a rigorously analytical, research-led approach that first explains what managers actually do and the reasoning behind their decisions before considering implications for practice. Theory is brought to life through real-world examples, cases and vignettes, making complex ideas accessible and relevant. Alongside core principles of strategic HRM, the book examines the critical features of the environments in which they are applied, delivering a richly grounded, practice-orientated analysis for students and practitioners alike. New to this edition: - Fully updated throughout in terms of citing latest research and application. - New coverage of AI and robotization in the context of HRM an implications for organizational strategy. - New coverage of sustainable HRM. - New coverage of HR analytics. - New coverage of post-pandemic/Covid working and implications for employees and employers. - New and updated case studies. - Strengthening of practical tools and application. - Increased use of figures, table and other illustrations.
