HBR Guide to Generative AI for Teams

Most people walk into a salary review, a car dealership, a hospital billing office, or a landlord's leasing room with no idea that the number they're about to be handed was chosen with the expectation that they won't push back. They don't push back. They pay more than they had to, drive home, and wonder.
Nobody Taught You This is the book that changes that.
Brian Briggs spent a decade on an Ohio dealership floor - not as a buyer, but as the person on the other side of the desk. He was trained to read hesitation, to work the worksheet, to guide buyers toward a number that worked for the dealership. He was good at it. He also grew a conscience. After leaving the floor, he spent several years becoming a certified civil mediator and has since spent more than 25 years helping ordinary people resolve disputes with landlords, contractors, hospitals, employers, and anyone else who was counting on them not knowing their options.
He has been on both sides. This book is what he knows.
Nobody Taught You This walks readers through every major category where the average American leaves money on the table - not from ignorance, but because they were never told the game existed. Each chapter delivers the insider's view of how the other side of the table thinks, what they're counting on, and the specific, usable process readers can apply immediately. No vague encouragement. No motivational filler. Chapter by chapter, situation by situation:Salary and compensation - what employers expect you not to know, and the exact language that changes the conversation
Rent - what landlords can flex on, when they can flex on it, and how to ask without torpedoing the relationship
Car buying - the full picture: sticker price, dealer markup, financing games, trade-in tactics, and the extended warranty room
Medical bills - error rates, financial assistance programs most patients never hear about, and how to open a negotiation with a billing department
Monthly subscriptions and services - the retention playbook that cable, internet, and cell providers use, and the scripts that work against it
Contractors - how quotes are built, what's negotiable, and how to protect yourself before and after the job starts
High-stakes situations - debt collectors, funeral homes, wedding vendors, and the IRS, which is more flexible than most people have been told


The book also addresses the psychology underneath all of it: why people don't ask, what they're afraid of, and how to quiet those instincts in the moments that count.
This is not a book for professional negotiators. It's for people who have never thought of themselves as negotiators at all - which is precisely the audience that needs it most, and the audience most likely to recognize themselves on every page.
Audience: General adult readers; personal finance; consumer advocacy; career and workplace; homeowners and renters; anyone who has ever paid a bill without questioning it.

Nobody Taught You This is part of the HELP!!! Series from Calm and Clear Publishing - practical guides for people who need answers now. Whether readers are facing a life transition, a financial squeeze, a workplace challenge, or a moment they weren't prepared for, the HELP!!! Series delivers clear, honest, actionable guidance without the filler. Other titles in the series address identity theft recovery, caregiving, document organization, job loss, AI in the workplace, and more.

How AI is transforming pricing decisions, and what opportunities, challenges, and risks these transformations bring. Pricing in the Age of AI explores the evolution of pricing decisions, with a particular emphasis on recent advancements. In the age of big data and AI, pricing strategies have undergone a dramatic transformation. For instance, in e-commerce, prices can now be adjusted every few seconds, tailored to individual users or personas, and optimized with precision. This transformation has the potential to disrupt pricing decisions on an unprecedented scale. In this book, Maxime Cohen begins by tracing the history and importance of pricing decisions. He focuses on the transformative changes of the past decade, highlighting how big data and AI have upended traditional pricing strategies. He also examines the psychological and behavioral tactics employed to influence consumer behavior through pricing, as well as how recent advancements in AI—and generative AI—are revolutionizing pricing practices, enabling managers to automate, optimize, and personalize decisions at scale. Finally, he discusses the challenges and risks associated with these innovations, including ethical concerns such as anti-competitive practices, consumer protection, and discrimination issues.

This open access book presents a thorough, multidisciplinary examination of children’s rights in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) with a focus on Lithuania. Pursuing a comparative approach, it explores various aspects of children’s rights as established in constitutional, civil, administrative and criminal law in the region, while also discussing emerging issues. The book shares unique insights into the challenges and progress specific to individual CEE countries, many of which have undergone significant political, social, and legal transformations in recent decades. The comparative analysis of practices and legal frameworks between Lithuania and other countries in the region and across various CEE countries is a key feature of the book. By comparing practices, case law and legal regulations across different CEE countries, it highlights both the diversity and the common challenges in the region. Moreover, such a comparative perspective is invaluable for policymakers, practitioners, and academics in terms of identifying best practices and learning from different countries’ experiences. The respective chapters offer evidence-based insights and recommendations to guide the development of more effective and rights-based approaches to child protection. While aiming to enhance awareness and understanding of children’s rights, the book also seeks to fill a gap in the literature by focusing on the CEE region, an area often underrepresented and overlooked in global discussions on children’s rights. Bringing together a wide range of theoretical and empirical research from Lithuania and other CEE countries, it features contributions by researchers from the Baltic states, Poland, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania to provide a more holistic understanding of the challenges and advances in children’s rights in the CEE region.

Author, curator and podcaster Bruno Giussani was the European director and global curator of the TED conferences for two decades (2005-24). In 
 Our Minds Under Siege,
 the specialist of digital culture writes about the "technologies of influence" and their social and political implications. In a world saturated with information, social media, artificial intelligence and strategies of cognitive influence, our capacity for thinking clearly and understanding reality is itself under threat. It is no longer only about disinformation and fake news: these technologies capture our attention, appropriate our data, analyze and exploit our emotions and challenge our autonomy of thought.
 Giussani decrypts how AI and other algorithmic technologies work and what their impacts are. He explains the nature of the relationship that is developing between us and these machines and the economic and power structures in which they exist. And he offers guidance to resisting against this technological takeover and for us to become competent users of AI without being used by it.

Interdisziplinäre Organisations- und Verwaltungsforschung

Das vorliegende Open-Access-Buch widmet sich einer besonderen Behörde: den sogenannten gemeinsamen Einrichtungen, in denen die Bundesagentur für Arbeit und die Kommunen die Aufgaben des SGB II in einer gemeinsamen Organisation wahrnehmen. Es handelt sich somit um den im deutschen Bundesstaat seltenen Typus einer Mischverwaltung. Hieraus entsteht ein komplexes Steuerungsmodell, das trotz gewisser zentraler Vorgaben erhebliche lokale Handlungsspielräume eröffnet. Jonas Hafner untersucht die Aufbau- und Ablauforganisation von Jobcentern, mit Fokus auf das beschäftigungsorientierte Fallmanagement und die Arbeitgeberbetreuung. Ausgehend vom Soziologischen Neoinstitutionalismus und dem Situativen Ansatz wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit sich die Verwaltungsorganisation der gemeinsamen Einrichtungen voneinander unterscheidet und welche Faktoren Variationen verursachen. Mit einem Mixed-Methods-Design, bestehend aus einer bundesweiten quantitativen Befragung sowie qualitativen Interviews mit Mitarbeitenden von Jobcentern, zeigt die Studie zwei zentrale Befunde: Während bestimmte Organisationsmerkmale verbreitet sind, offenbart sich jenseits grundlegender Strukturen eine große Vielfalt. Erklärungen bieten situative Faktoren, insbesondere die Organisationsgröße, sowie institutionelle Logiken, die von den Akteuren des Handlungsfeldes geteilt werden.

A timely, practical guide to AI—its strengths, weaknesses, and real-world applications—for business professionals and policymakers. Artificial intelligence, or AI, can recognize a pattern from any set of data it is given, which is what makes it such an extraordinarily powerful tool. But because not all patterns are authentic or reliable, AI's pattern-finding superpower can lead to spurious patterns—and to disastrous results for business and government entities that rely on them. Hence the conundrum at the heart of AI: its greatest strength can also be its greatest weakness. Targeting the businessperson who needs to know how to use AI profitably and responsibly, Caleb Briggs and Rex Briggs offer in this book a foundational understanding of AI that is easy to grasp yet thorough enough to be used effectively.

A timely, practical guide to AI its strengths, weaknesses, and real-world applications for business professionals and policymakers.
