How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital reveals how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare and offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, anti-trust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

Lessons from the Best on Turning Setbacks into Breakthroughs

This edited volume explores one of the defining phenomena of the contemporary global economy: the internationalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Once constrained by limited resources, geographic distance, and restricted market access, SMEs now operate in interconnected international ecosystems shaped by globalization, digital technologies, and evolving institutional environments. Yet international expansion remains complex, especially across culturally diverse and institutionally heterogeneous contexts.
 
 Bringing together perspectives from international business, institutional theory, cross-cultural management, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation, this volume examines how informal institutions, cultural intelligence, and digitisation influence SME internationalisation. With a comparative focus on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Asia, it demonstrates how informal institutions can compensate for institutional voids while fostering innovation. By emphasizing "soft infrastructure" as a strategic asset, the book challenges approaches that prioritize formal institutions alone and offers a more comprehensive framework for understanding SME growth across borders.

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services

This book introduces a Program Technology Evaluation Framework for selecting digital technologies for library program evaluation and provides detailed guidance on implementing KoboToolbox for program evaluations. Libraries increasingly rely on monitoring and evaluation to demonstrate impact, improve services, and support evidence-based decision-making. However, selecting appropriate digital technologies for program evaluation remains challenging, particularly for libraries with limited resources and varying levels of evaluation maturity. To address this challenge, the Program Technology Evaluation Framework helps libraries assess and strategically select evaluation technologies based on evaluation needs, library context, and evaluation context. Drawing on real-world implementations, the author provides an in-depth assessment of the Project Outcome Toolkit and KoboToolbox against the Program Technology Evaluation Framework and demonstrates the application of KoboToolbox for immediate and follow-up evaluations of library business support programs. In addition, the book bridges the gap between evaluation theory and practice through practical examples, reusable evaluation resources, reporting templates, and technology selection guidance. The book is intended for librarians, researchers, and practitioners seeking to strengthen evaluation capacity, implement digital evaluation technologies, and make informed technology selection decisions in diverse library environments.In addition, this book:<ul><li>Provides step-by-step guidance for selecting evaluation technologies and implementing KoboToolbox</li><li>Demonstrates immediate and follow-up evaluations to measure short- and longer-term program outcomes</li><li>Supports evidence-informed decisions to improve services and demonstrate program impact</li></ul>

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

Hard-Earned Lessons from a Heartland Entrepreneur

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.
