A USA Today Bestseller. A dramatic new future of work in which managers assemble exactly the expertise they need—within minutes. 2026 PROSE Award Winner: Business, Finance, and Management "If you’ve ever wished you could assemble your version of The Avengers at work, this book will help you make it happen.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast Re:Thinking Gone are the days of static organizational charts and staffing based on the manager’s rolodex and intuition. Now you can recruit any expertise you need from a global online network within minutes: an on-demand, on-the-spot expert at the exact moment that you need their help. You can right-size their involvement, too; some of those experts give a second opinion or a moment of brainstorming, whereas others join as full-fledged team members for a sustained collaborative effort. This is the future promised by flash teams, a model that The New York Times has already praised for its “revolutionary potential”: a world where experts are available anytime and everywhere, where remote work has become a norm, and where AI is in the loop to guide team decisions. In Flash Teams, award-winning management scholar Melissa Valentine and computer scientist Michael Bernstein chart the opportunities of flash teams and navigate the challenges that teams and managers will face. They distill lessons from their own work assembling and managing flash teams on demand that every manager can learn from so they can successfully use flash teams in their own organizations. Drawing on original research and industry examples, this book will help readers to: <ul><li>Recognize and source needed expertise within minutes</li><li>Anticipate and plan team designs with AI</li><li>Redesign team structures on the fly as projects evolve</li></ul> Industries are already being transformed by this new approach to teaming. Flash Teams arms leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs with the tools they need to accomplish their goals with confidence, speed, and agility.

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

This book explains in clear, accessible terms what entrepreneurship education in higher education actually achieves and under which conditions it is effective. It shows how entrepreneurship education shapes students’ motivation and capability to act as entrepreneurs, and how these effects are reflected in both entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial competencies.Building on the Theory of Planned Behaviour and&nbsp;a&nbsp;competency‑based approach, the book links entrepreneurship education with attitudes, perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and seventeen entrepreneurial competencies in a single multidimensional research model&nbsp;that can be re-used. Drawing on a quasi‑experimental study in Slovenian universities, it clarifies the effects and boundary conditions of entrepreneurship education. The book challenges assumptions that entrepreneurship education automatically creates&nbsp;entrepreneurs and offers a rigorous, timely resource for educators, researchers and policymakers seeking an evidence‑informed approach to entrepreneurship education, innovation and entrepreneurial capability.Tanja Zdolšek Draksler, PhD, is a&nbsp;senior&nbsp;researcher at the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence under the auspices of UNESCO (IRCAI),&nbsp;Jožef Stefan Institute and at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,&nbsp;University of Maribor. Her interdisciplinary work spans AI, data science, entrepreneurship, and organisational behaviour.Karin Širec, PhD,&nbsp;is Full Professor of Entrepreneurship and Vice-Dean for International Accreditations at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Maribor. She leads the Slovenian Global Entrepreneurship Monitor team and researches entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial competencies, innovation, high-growth firms, inclusive entrepreneurship, and business growth.

Understanding Entrepreneurial Intentions and Competencies

Entrepreneurship Education and Its Impact

Wenn das Leben nicht nach Plan läuft, bricht oft das ganze System zusammen, auf das du jahrelang vertraut hast: Eine Beziehung zerbricht, die Gesundheit streikt oder beruflicher und finanzieller Druck wird untragbar. Plötzlich stehst du an einem Punkt, an dem gewohnte Routinen nicht mehr greifen.Was hält dich, wenn die äußere Sicherheit wegbricht? Warum versagen Durchhalteparolen und reine Willenskraft genau dann, wenn du sie am dringendsten brauchst? Wie triffst du tragfähige Entscheidungen, statt dich von Umständen und Stimmungen treiben zu lassen?Felix Kraft liefert in seinem Buch keinen weichgespülten Motivationsratgeber, sondern ein nüchternes, erprobtes Systemmodell zur Selbstführung. Als Ingenieur und Führungskraft weiß er, wie man Systeme analysiert und stabilisiert. Als Mensch, der eigene Krisen durchlebt hat, weiß er, wie sich ein Neustart anfühlt. Er verbindet rationale Klarheit mit persönlicher Tiefe: Systeme statt Willenskraft, Standards statt Stimmung, Entscheidungen, die tragen – in Job, Beziehung und Krise.Dieses Buch ist ein ehrlicher, direkter Wegweiser für alle, die in Umbruchphasen Verantwortung übernehmen und ihr Leben wieder auf ein stabiles Fundament stellen wollen. Zwischen Ereignis und Ergebnis liegt eine Entscheidung. Deine.

Warum Motivation nicht reicht, wenn der Plan versagt. Das Systemmodell für Selbstführung

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Palgrave Studies of Entrepreneurship and Social Challenges in Developing Economies

This book offers an empirically grounded analysis of entrepreneurial decision-making under constraint in developing economies. Drawing on Jamaica's SME sector, it examines why strong entrepreneurial intention does not always become immediate start-up action and how feasibility, timing, exposure, finance, networks, informality, and institutional support shape whether entrepreneurs initiate, delay, enter in stages, or withhold action. These issues matter because, in many developing economies, entrepreneurship is not simply a lifestyle choice but a pathway to economic survival, inclusion, and opportunity. By integrating established entrepreneurship theory with evidence from a small-state context, the book offers globally relevant yet contextually grounded practical and theoretical guidance for scholars, policymakers, educators, and practitioners seeking to strengthen SME development, entrepreneurial support, and inclusive economic growth in developing economies.
