The Income Tax Collapse

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

Global Visions combines theory, cross-cultural perspectives and practical application to deliver a unique and timely contribution to the rapidly evolving field of foresight. The question of how to anticipate, shape and account for the future is one that is becoming increasingly difficult for organisations to ignore. Lanteri and Esposito propose that renewed interest in strategic future planning and its international manifestations offers a powerful solution. The 'Visions' model underpinning this text is key to the representation and understanding of strategic foresight. Grounded in insights from thought leaders at top universities, policy directors and advisors across the globe, this model illustrates how specific cultural contexts determine the future outlook of individual territories and industries. Each chapter illuminates a distinct perspective that enriches our understanding of how, and why, the future will be shaped by different geographical regions, and why. Detailed case studies from Latin America, Oceania, China and India, amongst others, provide grounded examples of how unique cultural contexts affect the evolution of anticipation. The latter two case studies highlight how territories can differ significantly in their geopolitical landscapes and resulting strategic foresight, despite sharing a geographical border. Global Visions provides a truly global focus on strategic foresight, making it an invaluable contribution to the field. The text additionally spans the boundaries of academia and practice, ensuring it is equally suited to scholars and practitioners. From MBA students to executive policy strategists, this text educates, enriches and enlightens.

Global Visions

Whilst there are many books which deal with decision making in a general, process or mathematical sense, there are very few books which address the nature of poor decision making and particularly how to avoid decisions with unintended consequences and surprises. This book is unique in that it has taken a military intelligence concept from the CIA and applied it to the corporate world. As such it offers a fresh perspective on the decision making process. This book will provide the reader with a clear understanding of the nature of blowback, how to assess it and how to avoid it.

Whilst there are many books which deal with decision making in a general, process or mathematical sense, there are very few books which address the nature of poor decision making and particularly how to avoid decisions with unintended consequences and surprises.   There are plenty of sources of influence on any significant decisions within business; the politics or culture of the organization (or of the environment in which it operates); the passage of time following the decision; the availability of information; the behaviour of customers, stakeholders or activitists and the impact of fear, greed or panic on their view of the situation.  Andrew Holmes provides readers with the means to understand the nature of this influence; how to model the potential for blowback on any decisions that you may be planning, along with a series of tools and techniques for mitigating or avoiding blowback.  Every week all sorts of organizations find their reputation, their share price or even their very business, under pressure because of the consequences or blowback from poor or hasty decisions. Andrew Holmes book provides you with an understanding of the phenomenon as well as a very practical guide to more resilient decision making.  This book will provide the reader with a clear understanding of the nature of blowback, how to assess it and how to avoid it.

How to Avoid Unintended and Undesired Consequences in Decision-Making

Blowback in Business

Val Jonas and Lauren Bone's Risk and Earned Value is the first book to pick up on the increasing trend for integrating these two disciplines. The authors provide guidance on both disciplines to enable the risk manager or the EV practitioner to understand each other's disciplines. They then explore how to optimise risk and EV during the project life cycle and show how EV and Risk together support projects in delivering business objectives.

Risk management and earned value are useful complementary tools for managing cost and schedule slippage in projects. EVM has been used to measure cost and schedule variance but it doesn't enable the user to predict likely variances. Risk management is used to identify and handle potential risk but may not help users understand the exact consequences of a risk that is realized. Val Jonas and Lauren Bone's Risk and Earned Value is the first book to pick up on the increasing trend for integrating these two disciplines. The authors provide guidance on both disciplines to enable the risk manager or the EV practitioner to understand each other's disciplines. They then explore how to optimise risk and EV during the project life cycle and show how EV and Risk together support projects in delivering business objectives. The authors include plenty of worked examples of the methods being used and provide an international perspective that looks at project management practice in Australia, the US and Europe and recognizes the increasingly global nature of project and programme management.

A NO-NONSENSE GUIDE FOR FIXING WORK'S BIGGEST TIME-WASTERS: MEETINGS. __________________________________________ "This book will help you turn meetings from a mindless drain into a strategic advantage" NIR EYAL "Grab a copy of this book before your next week of meetings begins!" REID HOFFMANN "Fantastic" STEVEN ROGELBERG "Meetings are broken. This book fixes them - if we care enough to take action" SETH GODIN __________________________________________ To anyone who has ever sat through a pointless meeting, wondering, "Why am I here?", this book is for you. And respectfully, it's also about you. Meetings are broken. They are relics from a bygone era, designed to issue orders, flaunt power, and keep the hierarchy intact. In today's digital, collaborate-or-bust era, this model isn't just inefficient, it actively harms employees and organisations. Drawing on decades of research and stories from leading companies like Google, Salesforce, Pixar, YouTube, and Dropbox, Your Best Meeting Ever provides a blueprint to transform your meetings from monotonous, soul-crushing time sinks into powerful tools for collaboration and innovation. The secret? Treat them like products. Using the seven product design principles, you'll turn your meetings into well-designed products that actually drive work forward and serve your most important users: the people in your organisation. Your Best Meeting Ever is the book every working professional and leader needs.

7 Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done

Your Best Meeting Ever

The transformative guide to workplace dynamics that helps you understand yourself - and handle those around you. Is your boss acting like a critical parent? Does a closed-door meeting leave you consumed by paranoia? Are you compelled to overperform until you're on the verge of burnout? You are not alone. We spend a third of our lives at work, yet we're told to leave our emotions at the door. In We Are Not a Family, executive coach Nell Montgomery and psychotherapist Elisa Morris show us the truth: we don't just bring our work experience to the office; we bring our entire emotional history. In this groundbreaking book, the authors identify eight workplace archetypes - from the Joker who entertains to hide deep insecurities and the Perfectionist driven by their inner criticism, to the Gladiator who seeks success at any cost. They show how understanding these patterns can transform every interaction in your professional life. You'll learn how to:<ul><li>Build stronger relationships by seeing colleagues for who they really are</li><li>Improve leadership skills by recognizing unconscious patterns in your team</li><li>Boost self-awareness by identifying your own archetype formed in early childhood</li><li>Handle conflict confidently without being overwhelmed by triggered feelings</li></ul> Packed with clinical insight, wit and a practical toolkit for every persona, We Are Not a Family will liberate you from outdated coping strategies and help you show up as the authentic, confident adult you long to become.
