Описание: Cultural Strategy provides a step-by-step guide for managers and entrepreneurs to building businesses based upon innovative ideologies: ideas that leverage social change and needs. Analyzing classic cases such as Nike, Starbucks, Marlboro, Jack Daniels, and Ben & Jerry`s, Holt and Cameron show how the theory works as an actionable strategy.
Описание: David C. Kang argues that East Asia is more stable and peaceful than often recognized. He suggests that American policy should therefore emphasize diplomatic and economic relations with the region, rather than military-first policies. Will interest students and scholars of international relations, East Asian politics, China, Japan, and security studies.
Germany's rise to power before World War I from a Chinese persective, and the geopolitical lessons for today.
A series of solemn anniversary events have marked the centenary of World War I. Could history repeat itself in today's geopolitics? Now, as then, a land power with a growing economy and a maritime power with global commitments are the two leading states in the international system. Most ominously, the outbreak of war in 1914 is a stark reminder that nations cannot rely on economic interdependence and ongoing diplomacy to keep the peace.
In Fragile Rise, Xu Qiyu offers a Chinese perspective on the course of German grand strategy in the decades before World War I. Xu shows how Germany's diplomatic blunders turned its growing power into a liability instead of an asset. Bismarck's successors provoked tension and conflict with the other European great powers. Germany's attempts to build a powerful navy alienated Britain. Fearing an assertive Germany, France and Russia formed an alliance, leaving the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire as Germany's only major ally.
Xu's account demonstrates that better strategy and statesmanship could have made a difference -- for Germany and Europe. His analysis offers important lessons for the leaders of China and other countries. Fragile Rise reminds us that the emergence of a new great power creates risks that can be managed only by adroit diplomats, including the leaders of the emerging power. In the twenty-first century, another great war may not be inevitable. Heeding the lessons of Fragile Rise could make it even less likely.

Описание:
In The End of Grand Strategy, Simon Reich and Peter Dombrowski challenge the common view of grand strategy as unitary. They eschew prescription of any one specific approach, chosen from a spectrum that stretches from global primacy to restraint and isolationism, in favor of describing what America’s military actually does, day to day. They argue that a series of fundamental recent changes in the global system, the inevitable jostling of bureaucratic politics, and the practical limitations of field operations combine to ensure that each presidential administration inevitably resorts to a variety of strategies.
Proponents of different American grand strategies have historically focused on the pivotal role of the Navy. In response, Reich and Dombrowski examine six major maritime operations, each of which reflects one major strategy. One size does not fit all, say the authors—the attempt to impose a single overarching blueprint is no longer feasible. Reich and Dombrowski declare that grand strategy, as we know it, is dead. The End of Grand Strategy is essential reading for policymakers, military strategists, and analysts and critics at advocacy groups and think tanks.

Описание:
As new presidential administrations come into power, they each bring their own approach to foreign policy. No grand strategy, however, is going to be completely novel. New administrations never start with a blank slate, so it is always possible to see similarities between an administration and its predecessors. Conversely, since each administration faces novel problems and operates in a unique context, no foreign policy strategy is going to be an exact replica of its predecessors. In American Pendulum, Christopher Hemmer examines America's grand strategic choices between 1914 and 2014 using four recurring debates in American foreign policy as lenses. First, how should the United States balance the trade-offs between working alone versus working with other states and international organizations? Second, what is the proper place of American values in foreign policy? Third, where does the strategic perimeter of the United States lie? And fourth, is time on the side of the United States or of its enemies?Offering new readings of debates within the Wilson, Truman, Nixon, Bush, and Obama administrations, Hemmer asserts that heated debates, disagreements, and even confusions over U.S. grand strategy are not only normal but also beneficial. He challenges the claim that uncertainties or inconsistences about the nation's role in the world or approach to security issues betray strategic confusion or the absence of a grand strategy. American foreign policy, he states, is most in danger not when debates are at their most pointed but when the weight of opinion crushes dissent. As the United States looks ahead to an increasingly multipolar world with increasing complicated security issues, Hemmer concludes, developing an effective grand strategy requires ongoing contestation and compromises between competing visions and policies.

Описание: The Bioshock series looms large in the industry and culture of video games for its ambitious incorporation of high-minded philosophical questions and retro-futuristic aesthetics into the ultraviolent first-person shooter genre. Beyond the Sea marks ten years since the release of the original game with an interdisciplinary collection of essays on Bioshock, Bioshock 2, and Bioshock Infinite. Simultaneously lauded as landmarks in the artistic growth of the medium and criticized for their compromised vision and politics, the Bioshock games have been the subject of significant scholarly and critical discussion. Moving past well-trodden debates, Beyond the Sea broadens the conversation by putting video games in dialogue with a diverse range of other disciplines and cultural forms, from parenting psychology to post-humanism, from Thomas Pynchon to German expressionist cinema. Offering bold new perspectives on a canonical series, Beyond the Sea is a timely contribution to our understanding of the aesthetics, the industry, and the culture of video games.

Описание: This book uses a strategic management lens to shed light on emerging markets. With a balance of theory and practical insight, the book describes the economic conditions that create emerging markets, a key to understanding how to develop and implement strategies that take advantage of the opportunities in these markets.
Throughout history, many interlinked economic, social, and political upheavals have taken place. Every such event came with its own set of destructive consequences. Yet somehow, we have not been able to identify the mysterious and elusive economic and financial viruses. The Investment Blueprint book will take the readers on a journey into the economic and investment Black Hole to demystify its dark matters such as monetary inflation, general price inflation, asset price inflation, economic recession, economic deflationary and hyperinflationary depression, cyclical cycle, secular cycle, and financial crisis.
Initially, mankind invented the concept of the monetary medium of exchange called money to support the expanding and growing economic market system. Over time, money inevitably grew in importance. Not only it became the lifeblood of the economy, but also it became the main pillar of society, influencing and dominating every aspect of society. As the money system evolved, it created contradictory impacts. On the positive side, it uplifted the overall living standards of the society. On the negative, it periodically and repeatedly caused the economic and financial upheavals and inadvertently triggered the social and political chaos.
Section 1 (April 2019) It provides the reader with a strong foundation of the nature of money and explains the concept of money, its evolution, and the various functions it serves in today's domestic and international monetary systems and markets. It highlights the tenets of how money is created in today's economy, why it is synonymous with debt creation, and how the limitations of this system result in inflation and other economic inefficacies that impact the cyclical and secular nature of markets that result inevitably in financial turmoil.
Section 2 (July 2019) Once the reader understands the linkage between money and debt and how they help shape the different market cycles (long term, short term, economic, business, investment), he/she will be empowered to make more sound financial decisions. The author provides several tools to correctly identify the distinct phases of market cycles and inflection points between bull and bear cycles. This will provide the foundation to create investment strategies that adhere to the general direction of the market and remove the guesswork of translating economic reality into market perception.
Section 3 (Oct 2019) This section explains how to effectively create a market cycle-based investment framework and strategy that mirrored the way the market actually functions. This strategy is based on where we are in the market cycle (short-term and long-term direction), ideal asset and investment allocations, and provides sustainable investment alpha for both short-term trading decisions and long-term cycle investors.
Section 4 (September 2019) Understanding the monetary system, market cycles, and the tools highlighted in the previous chapters will enable the reader to more effectively demystify the nature of financial crises and triangulate/anticipate the next financial crisis. Specifically, this section is going to identify the seeds for the impending financial crisis and the specific type of crisis. Moreover, it will estimate the timing of the next crisis and provide a decisive roadmap to navigate the impending financial crisis forming on the horizon, including the crisis path and potential solutions.
