Developing Knowledge Convergence Through Collective Phronesis

*** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ***&nbsp;* WINNER OF THE SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2025 FOR BUSINESS REPORTING *&nbsp; 'Absolutely riveting' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads 'Disturbing and enlightening' Chris Miller,&nbsp;author of&nbsp;Chip War 'Hugely important' Rana Foroohar,&nbsp;author of&nbsp;Makers and Takers 'A once-in-a-generation read' Robert D. Kaplan, author of&nbsp;Waste Land As Trump wages a tariff war with China, seeking to boost domestic electronics manufacturing, this book offers an unparalleled insight into why his strategy is embarrassingly naïve. Apple isn't just a brand; it's the world's most valuable company and creator of the 21st century's defining product. The iPhone has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect. But Apple is now a victim of its own success, caught in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers. On the brink of bankruptcy in 1996, Apple adopted an outsourcing strategy. By 2003 it was lured to China by the promise of affordable, ubiquitous labour. As the iPod and iPhone transformed Apple's fortunes, their sophisticated production played a seminal role in financing, training, supervising and supplying Chinese manufacturers - skills Beijing is now weaponizing against the West. Investigative journalist Patrick McGee draws on 200 interviews with former Apple executives and engineers to reveal how Cupertino's choice to anchor its supply chain in China has increasingly made it vulnerable to the regime's whims. Both an insider's historical account and a cautionary tale, Apple in China is the first history of Apple to go beyond the biographies of its top executives and set the iPhone's global domination within an increasingly fraught geopolitical context. &nbsp;

*** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ***&nbsp;* WINNER OF THE SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2025 FOR BUSINESS REPORTING *&nbsp; What if the greatest business success story of the twenty-first century was hiding the West's gravest mistake?For two decades, Apple poured billions into China, training millions of workers and building the most advanced supply and manufacturing system in history. But those same investments transferred knowledge, skills and power, handing China the tools to challenge America's dominance and putting Apple in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers.Based on hundreds of exclusive interviews, Patrick McGee's gripping exposé reveals Apple's vulnerability for the first time - and shows how one company's triumph inadvertently reshaped the global balance of power.'Devastatingly clear'&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;'Scrupulously reported'&nbsp;New Yorker&nbsp;'Absolutely riveting'&nbsp;Peter Frankopan &nbsp;'Disturbing and enlightening'&nbsp;Chris Miller&nbsp;'This is&nbsp;the best book about Apple ever written'&nbsp;Ben Thompson,&nbsp;Stratechery&nbsp;

Es diente als Truppenunterkunft auf den Falklandinseln, 'Hotel' für VW-Beschäftigte in Emden, Gefängnis im East River und Bleibe für Ölarbeiter in Nigeria: der schlichte Frachtkahn im Zentrum dieses Buchs. Mit modularen Containern ausgestattet- dem Inbegriff standardisierter Weltwirtschaft - wurde er zu dem, was der Markt gerade verlangte.Dem Historiker Ian Kumekawa gelingt das Kunststück, anhand der Stationen eines einzigen Schiffs die großen ökonomischen und politischen Umbrüche der letzten fünf Jahrzehnte greifbar zu machen. Eine Phase, die geprägt ist von Ölboom und Privatisierung, Deregulierung der Finanzmärkte, Arbeitsplatzverlagerung in Billiglohnländer und Masseninhaftierung. In dieser Mikrogeschichte wird auf fesselnde Weise deutlich, dass hinter abstrakten Begriffen wie Offshoring und Globalisierung, Kapitalismus und Neoliberalismus immer sehr konkrete Menschen und ihre Schicksale stecken.

Beliebige Fracht. Die Geschichte der globalen Wirtschaft, erzählt anhand eines Schiffs

“Phenomenal…a jaw-dropping book.” —Jon Stewart, The Daily Show Named by The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Prospect magazine as a best book of the year, this “scrupulously reported” (The New Yorker) and “astonishing” (The Daily Telegraph, London) book rivets with its portrayal of how Apple allowed itself to become dependent on China for a huge percentage of its manufacturing, making it vulnerable and unwittingly laying the groundwork for the Asian superpower to rival the US in technological expertise. After struggling to build products on three continents, Apple turned to China’s seemingly endless supply of cheap labor. It soon deployed thousands of engineers, trained millions of workers, and invested hundreds of billions of dollars to create the most advanced global supply chain. These efforts fueled the iPhone’s dominance—but also laid the foundation for a powerful, state-supported Chinese electronics industry. What began as a business decision evolved into a cautionary tale of global trade, tech rivalry, and national security. Without intending to, Apple helped Beijing acquire technological influence that could now be weaponized—a central concern in the ongoing US-China tech war. Drawing on over two hundred interviews, Patrick McGee exposes never-before-reported details from Silicon Valley to Shenzhen: internal emails, secretive executive meetings, and overlooked voices inside the company’s China operations. You’ll meet the “Gang of Eight” executives tasked with appeasing Beijing, a Mormon missionary who launched Apple retail in China, and a veteran whose dreams of improving factory conditions were crushed by both Apple’s demands and Xi Jinping’s authoritarian crackdown. From Foxconn and Tim Cook to the Chinese Communist Party and Taiwan Semiconductor, this is a revelatory look at how Apple, in seeking efficiency, became entangled in the very politics it once claimed to challenge. For readers of Chip War, American Factory, and The Big Short, Apple in China is a searing examination of corporate power, Chinese nationalism, deglobalization, and the fragile relationship between Silicon Valley and the world’s rising superpower.

An urgent, indispensable guide to why Taiwan matters - for China, the West and everyone's future 'An authoritative primer to all things Taiwan' BARBARA DEMICK ¿ 'A must-read for all who are concerned about the current state of our dangerous world' MICHAEL WOOD ¿ 'Written with great knowledge, passion and insight' MARTIN JACQUES ¿ 'Kerry Brown is one of our most perceptive and accurate foreign observers of China' JOHN SIMPSON ¿ ''Anyone with a care to avoid a third world war - between China and the US - should read this book'' JACK STRAW When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao's Communists won and took China's mainland; Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities. Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world's economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against China's assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US - escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg. The Taiwan Story helps us understand how and why we've arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwan's political leaders and a deep understanding of the island's history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. This is the essential book delving into Taiwan's unique story, buried beneath the headlines, told in an accessible, expert and urgent way.

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 4.9, Kenyatta University, course: Business Management, language: English, abstract: In the ever-evolving landscape of business, organizations constantly find themselves at the crossroads of change. Whether driven by external market forces or internal transformations, change is an inevitable companion on the corporate journey. The ability to navigate change effectively often defines the success and longevity of a company. In this change analysis paper, we delve into the intriguing narratives of two renowned publicly traded companies and explore how they have handled significant changes in their organizations.Change is not a monolithic concept; rather, it takes on different shapes and forms, each with its unique set of challenges and opportunities. To comprehend these dynamic processes, we employ the concept of "Images of Change." Each image represents a distinct perspective on change management, ranging from the assertive "director" to the empathetic "nurturer." By analyzing these images, we gain a deeper understanding of how these organizations responded to pivotal moments of transformation and adapted to the ever-changing corporate landscape.In the spotlight are two corporate giants, Apple Inc. and General Electric. Apple, a global icon renowned for its innovative prowess, faced a momentous leadership transition from the visionary Steve Jobs to the pragmatic Tim Cook. On the other hand, General Electric, a conglomerate with a storied history, undertook a series of strategic shifts, divestitures, and restructurings to remain relevant in an evolving industrial landscape.This paper embarks on a journey to dissect the change images embodied by these companies and their application within their unique contexts. It explores the pressures that necessitated these changes, the distinctions between their change approaches, and the unintended consequences that emerged along the way. Through this comparative analysis, we aim to glean valuable insights into the art of change management, demonstrating that the path to change is as diverse as the organizations that traverse it.
