Morley C: The Entrepreneur's Paradox

The Entrepreneur's Paradox

How to Overcome the 16 Pitfalls Along the Startup Journey (Keys to Success for a Startup Company)

60 Lessons for Leaders in an Uncertain World

Next Gen CEO

24 Principles to Help You Get Out of Your Own Way

Just F*cking Do It

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.

The Emergence of an Arab Global Business

Out of the Middle East

Ergebnisse, Leistung und Erfolg werden häufig mit Methoden, Routinen und Zielsystemen erklärt.Wir leben in einem Zeitalter der totalen Verfügbarkeit. Noch nie hatten wir so viel Wissen zur Verfügung wie heute. Künstliche Intelligenz beantwortet Fragen und löst Aufgaben in Sekunden, wofür frühere Generationen Jahre brauchten. Dennoch scheitern viele Menschen und Organisationen an der Umsetzung ihres Wissens und dem nachhaltigen Erreichen eigener Ansprüche.Professor Lukas Martin entschlüsselt dieses Paradoxon basierend auf neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und alten Weisheiten aus Medizin, Neurobiologie und Verhaltenspsychologie.Das Buch untersucht, warum Menschen und Organisationen unter Druck selten ihren Zielen folgen, sondern auf tief verankerte Identitätsstrukturen, Gewohnheiten und innere Selbstbilder zurückfallen.Im Zentrum steht, dass Leistung, Entscheidungsfähigkeit und langfristige Entwicklung weniger von kurzfristiger Optimierung, Balance und Disziplin als von konsistenter, lebenslanger Identitätsbildung abhängt. Auf dieser Grundlage entsteht ein neuer Blick auf Motivation, Resilienz und die Voraussetzungen eines erfüllten und wirksamen Lebens.Ein Sachbuch über Identität, Verhalten und die Frage, warum nachhaltiger Erfolg nicht in Methoden oder Zielen liegt - sondern "inside us".

Warum wir oft wissen, was zu tun ist, es aber trotzdem nicht tun

Predictable Profits

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.

Informal Institutions, Cultural Intelligence, and Digitalisation Impact

SME Internationalisation

A visionary leader in clean and renewable energy tells his incredible personal story and outlines a smart and sane way forward for meeting the world's growing energy needs.Michael Polsky is one of the most important figures in American clean energy--here, he tells the remarkable story of his rise from a penniless young Soviet émigré to leadership in this essential industry. Only a decade ago, many thought that demand for electricity in America might never rise again. Today, AI, cryptocurrency, and electrification are fueling the largest surge in electricity demand in fifty years. Polsky has spent the past four decades building power plants, but even he never expected to see this kind of surge in demand. Most of the companies driving it want electricity produced by clean, sustainable renewable sources, mainly wind and solar power. His journey in clean energy is America's journey too. Inexhaustible intertwines his personal story--an immigrant who arrived in America from the Soviet Union with $500 in his pocket and a few phrases of broken English who, twenty-five years later, founded a multibillion dollar independent energy company--with the story of America's energy evolution from coal and oil to wind and solar power.Polsky's career evolved from working on oil- and coal-powered plants, to generating power from nuclear and natural gas, to renewable energy. It was a natural progression that helped him form a distinct vision of the future, which guided him to what would be the next best way to develop projects and produce electricity. The United States is heading in the same direction, for a simple reason: not because we have all become environmental activists, but because renewable-energy technology just makes sense. It has the potential to create unlimited amounts of energy, and a low-cost, highly efficient, and reliable power system.Polsky's company, Invenergy, is now the biggest privately owned clean-energy business in the US. He was forward-thinking enough to have built a business with a focus on renewable energy. But the challenge Polsky sees for America is that we don't have enough installed renewable-power generation, hooked up to the grid and ready to supply. Because demand for electricity is so unprecedented, the source of the energy is becoming somewhat secondary to the need itself. We're burning more fossil fuels than ever before, reopening mothballed nuclear power stations, and betting on experimental technology.We are entering an era of an "all of the above" approach to generating electricity, driven by the surge in demand and the realization that neither fossil fuels nor renewables alone can meet all our needs. As Polsky sees it, the danger is that our immediate appetites could blind us to the consequences of using all forms of energy: making climate change worse, slowing the energy transition, and the potentially disastrous results of a nuclear accident.Polsky is far from a green warrior or an ecological activist. As a student in his native Kyiv, Ukraine, he was trained in the 1970s to design power plants that burned heavy oil or coal. When he emigrated to the United States in 1976, he worked on nuclear power plants, then on gas-powered plants, and then on power plants that burned coal, oil, and natural gas. The first company he started worked on coal- and natural-gas-fired power plants; his second company developed facilities that burned natural gas, tires, and wood.Today, Polsky and Invenergy are in the renewable-energy business because it is an unprecedented industrial and financial opportunity, offering the chance to create unlimited amounts of energy efficiently, reliably, and at a low cost. It is highly scalable. It is the future toward which technology is taking us. Our choice is not whether or not to switch to renewable energy, but if we will grasp this opportunity or have it forced upon us by crises. As Polsky sees it, there is a smart and forward-looking way to the future, and this book charts what the smart way looks like, and urges us to seize the opportunity it offers.

My Journey and the Future of Energy

Inexhaustible

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.
