The world order that emerged after the Second World War resulted in the formation of rather unexpected connections between Poland and Vietnam, two middle-sized countries located on opposite sides of the globe. The mobility induced by "socialist fraternity" student exchange programs resulted in the emergence of the largest non-European migrant community in Poland already after the collapse of the Soviet Bloc. Basing on multi-sited anthropological fieldwork conducted in Poland, Vietnam, and the Internet, the author provides nuanced picture of Vietnamese migrant community, focusing on evolution of resources transferred by the migrants during particular periods of history. The main question posed in the book is the durability of Cold War era patterns of human mobility in the current era of "global capitalism".

Clara Solberg's world shatters when her husband and their four-year-old daughter are in a car crash, killing Nick while Maisie is remarkably unharmed. The crash is ruled an accident...until the coming days, when Maisie starts having night terrors that make Clara question what really happened on that fateful afternoon. Tormented by grief and her obsession that Nick's death was far more than just an accident, Clara is plunged into a desperate hunt for the truth. Who would have wanted Nick dead? And, more important, why? Clara will stop at nothing to find out--and the truth is only the beginning of this twisted tale of secrets and deceit. Told in the alternating perspectives of Clara's investigation and Nick's last months leading up to the crash, master of suspense Mary Kubica weaves her most chilling thriller to date--one that explores the dark recesses of a mind plagued by grief and shows that some secrets might be better left buried.
Описание: Organizational Gravity explores the fundamental elements of business success outside the traditional focus on product or service, sufficient capital, exemplary sales, and technology to grow your business. While those are critical elements to building and growing a business, this book provides an unconventional yet pragmatic approach to create a competitive advantage to keep your business on a growth trajectory.Working with organizations like yours, Tony Kubica and Sara LaForest found that the alignment of strategy, brand, culture, and talent is often missing as businesses work to grow beyond their prior successes and through the inevitable inflection points. In their years of work and achievement in helping leaders grow their business, they have created a compelling model for sustainable growth-Organizational Gravity. Their comprehensive, easy-to-read guide provides company owners and entrepreneurs with an actionable roadmap to bringing any promising enterprise to the next level. Organizational Gravity: A Guide to Strategically Growing Your Company's Brand, Culture and Talent lays out the four all-important factors that come into play when growing a business, offering best practices to make optimal use of each. These four fundamental elements are branding, culture, talent, and strategy. When integrated synergistically, they can work together as a highly effective model for sustainable company growth. For example, strategic branding, or the promise your company makes to the market, can create the kind of reputation that will draw both talent and customers to the business. Similarly, your company's culture fulfills that promise, supports the reputation, and creates an environment that is attractive to top talent. Put these together, and you have a framework for growth.The guide is divided into these four disciplines, analyzing each to ensure a company is positioned for the desired results. In "Part One - Business Growth Strategy" the authors assess key issues including creating an actionable strategic plan; the mistakes organizations unknowingly make; and developing a competitive edge. "Part Two - Branding," weighs the value of value, establishing the promise and considering aspects such as identifying your target market, key messaging, and protecting your brand. "Part Three - Culture" explores delivering on the promise and addresses considerations such as understanding the perceptions and realities of employees, healthy conflict, innovation, and tribalism. "Part Four - Progressive Talent Management" offers insight on recruiting, employee and leadership development, and retention. Examples, tips, and techniques are also provided throughout the guide. With the proper awareness of this approach, business leaders can establish a solid, executable strategy for growth that includes building a brand that communicates your promise to the buyer; establishing and fostering a culture that is designed and enabled to deliver on that promise; and securing and developing the crucial talent that can best execute the previous elements. Whether you are a small company owner or an executive in a larger organization, this synergistic approach to balanced growth can make all the difference in your business.
