        Nike-Urbanismus, Branding und die Markenstadt von morgen

        by Friedrich Borries

        Woke Capitalism

        How Corporate Morality is Sabotaging Democracy

        by Carl Rhodes

        SHORTLISTED FOR THE BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2022   Does ‘woke capitalism’ improve capitalism’s image or does it threaten the future of democracy? From Nike’s support for Colin Kaepernick, to Gillette’s engagement with the toxic masculinity debate, the 21st century has seen a sharp increase in corporations taking over public morality, a phenomenon which has come to be known as ‘woke capitalism’. Carl Rhodes takes us on a lively and fascinating history of woke capitalism – from 1950s corporate social responsibility, through 1980s neoliberalism, tracing it alongside the adoption and mutation of the term ‘woke’ from Black American culture – and brings us right up to current-day debates. By examining the political causes that woke capitalism has co-opted, and the social causes that it has not, he argues that this surreptitious extension of capitalism has serious implications for us all.

        Leila Means Night

        by Aleksandra Lipczak

        For eight centuries, southern Spain has been home to a multicultural political entity founded by the Arabs and co-created by Muslims, Jews and Christians. Medieval Cordoba, Seville and Toledo are bustling metropolises to which merchants, scientists and artists are drawn from all over the world. Here the first tracheotomy procedure is performed and astronomy is developed, here magnificent libraries are created, Greek philosophers are translated, multilingual poetry is written, and foreign policy at the Muslim court is directed by a Jewish diplomat.In a book stretched between history and modernity and between essay and reportage, the author deconstructs popular symbols of Spain (flamenco, mosaics, palm trees), revealing their Muslim-Arab roots. She shows how Andalusia today handles its heritage. Coexistence, the meeting of the so-called West with so-called Islam, the fluidity of borders, but also fundamentalisms, expulsions, exorcising others.... Al-Andalus is a palimpsest that is useful in thinking about the world today. Prizes: Nike Literary Prize 2021 - shortlist Witold Gombrowicz Prize 2021 - winner

        The New Oil

        by Arent van 't Spijker

        How can you leverage the value of your company's data? Well over a century ago oil drove the development of innovations such as the internal combustion engine, central heating and plastics, changing our world and our economy. Oil, as a technology, fueled an economic force that inexorably changed the way people lived and worked. Today, data is fueling a very similar change: it is the driving force for new business models and disruptive technologies that impact companies in every imaginable industry. The New Oil shows how data changes the traditional business paradigm. How it impacts not just high-tech, high-profile companies, but also old-school, low-tech industries all around the world; data lives and breathes within every single company. In The New Oil, Arent van 't Spijker explains how companies such as Google, Nike and Adara are leveraging a 'Data Driven Strategy'. Many other examples highlight the applications and commercial potential for data. Van 't Spijker describes five typical business models for monetizing data that help you to develop viable business models for leveraging data in your own company. He then shows how to successfully put these business models to practice. Above all, he will inspire you to follow in the footsteps of market leaders. Arent van 't Spijker (1970) is senior consultant on Data Driven Strategy at BlinkLane Consulting. He is a trusted advisor to senior management of organizations in developing and leveraging opportunities and new business models based on data. In addition he performs as keynote speaker at conferences and writes about Data Driven Strategy on various blogs and websites. Arent has a deep understanding of the business value of data. He has extensive knowledge of (and experience in) managing the impact of technology in corporate strategy.

        The Green Indian Problem

        by J.L. Willetts

        Set in the valleys of South Wales at the tail end of Thatcher’s Britain, The Green Indian Problem is the story of Green, a seven year-old with intelligence beyond his years – an ordinary boy with an extraordinary problem: everyone thinks he’s a girl. Green sets out to try and solve the mystery of his identity, but other issues keep cropping up – God, Father Christmas, cancer – and one day his best friend goes missing, leaving a rift in the community and even more unanswered questions. Dealing with deep themes of friendship, identity, child abuse and grief, The Green Indian Problem is, at heart, an all-too-real story of a young boy trying to find out why he’s not like the other boys in his class.

        The Organic Growth Playbook: Activate High-Yield Behaviors To Achieve Extraordinary Results - Every Time

        by Bernard Jaworski, Bob Lurie

        Conventional marketing strategies that focus on product differentiation and positioning often fail to deliver faster growth. Jaworski and Lurie offer a novel approach to the problem of growth based on two simple but profound insights.  First, they demonstrate that in every purchase process there are a few high-yield customer behaviors that matter most in determining whether and what customers buy.    Second, they show how changing those high-yield customer behaviors can consistently drive faster revenue growth. Drawing on decades of client work, the authors provide a detailed, engaging account of a proven system for accelerating – or even doubling – growth.  As evidence of its value, the system has been adopted by a host of Fortune 500 firms as their marketing and growth planning process.    This book forms part of the American Marketing Association (AMA) Leadership series: 7 Big Problems of Marketing.
