Funding er en jungle! Sådan lyder det fra den unge entreprenør og iværksætter Rasmus Madsen, der med bogen “Pitch Deck” vil forsøge at hjælpe andre på vej med økonomiske overvejelser. Forinden Rasmus selv startede ud som selvstændig, kunne de i hans virksomhed eManager ikke finde hoved og hale i, hvordan de skulle søge deres første investering og kunne dengang godt have brugt den viden han nu besidder. Derfor har Rasmus nu skrevet den komplette manuel til dig, som netop skal ud og søge funding. Bogen indeholder alt det materiale fra deres eget pitch deck og en optagelse fra et event og yderligere en detaljeret beskrivelse af hele processen - og endda med overvejelser om, hvad de havde gjort anderledes den dag i dag.Bogen bygger altså 1:1 på eManagers erfaring, hvor de både har rejst 1 mio DKK, men også misset en kapitalrunde på hele 4,5 mio DKK. Med forord af Lars Tvede samt en udtalelse af Martin Thorborg er “Pitch Deck” den helt perfekte bog til iværksættere, der skal ud og søge funding for første gang. Ifølge Rasmus Madsen har man allermest gavn af bogen, hvis man er på bar bund vedrørende alt fra, hvordan man skal udarbejde et pitch deck, til hvordan man griber hele funding situationen an. Og hvis det er tilfældet lover Rasmus, at han kan hjælpe dig godt på vej!

Ingen af dem kan huske tankerne og problemstillingerne, som opstod helt i starten. Derfor valgte jeg at skrive en bog, mens jeg endnu var ved at starte mit iværksættereventyr op. Sagt med andre ord har jeg ganske enkelt skrevet den bog, som jeg selv ønskede mig, da jeg var yngre!"Bogen er bygget op som en rigtig lærebog, der tager dig igennem alle de vigtige faser, når du skal starte din egen virksomhed. Hele vejen igennem bogen er der konkrete eksempler fra Rasmus’ egne projekter, projekter fra hans netværk samt eksempler på, hvad udenlandske virksomheder har gjort.

';Indispensable' Daniel Kahneman How do you get people to donate their organs? What's the trick to reading a wine list? What's the perfect number of potential matches a dating site should offer? Every time we make a choice, our minds go through an elaborate process most of us never even notice. We're influenced by subtle aspects of the way the choice is presented that often make the difference between a good decision and a bad one. To overcome the common faults in our decision-making and enable better choices in any situation involves conscious and intentional decision design. Transcending the familiar concepts of nudges and defaults, The Elements of Choice offers a comprehensive, systematic guide to creating effective choice architectures, the environments in which we make decisions. The designers of decisions need to consider all the elements involved in presenting a choice: how many options to offer, how to present those options, how to account for our natural cognitive shortcuts, and much more. These levers are unappreciated, yet they impact our reasoning every day. This book doesn't simply analyse the mental fallacies that trip us up. It goes further to show us what good decision-making looks like that it can be both moral and effective.

This affects the entire discipline of financial management, whether it is the valuation of goodwill in accounting, the estimation of capital costs in company valuation, or the strategic controlling of an international group of companies. There are three main challenges to be overcome: first, uncertainty must be integrated into traditional models, then uncertainty must be quantified, and lastly, potential developments must be modelled.

This volume discusses these issues and offers new insights into how financial management will evolve in light of the current developments.

But around the world, across a wide variety of disciplines, would-be super-forecasters are trying to take the guesswork out of what formerly seemed like random chance. Some put their faith in 'black swans' - unpredictable, catastrophic events that can't be foreseen but send exotic financial instruments screaming in high-profit directions. Most famous among this group of big-bet traders are those who run the Universa fund, who, on days of extreme upheaval, have made as much as $1 billion.Author Scott Patterson gained exclusive access to Universa strategists and met with savvy seers in a variety of fields, from earthquake prediction to counterterrorism to climatology, to see if it's actually possible to bet on disaster - and win. Riveting, relevant, and revelatory, this is a must-read for anyone curious about how some of today's investors alchemise catastrophe into profit.

FRA VISION TIL VIRKELIGHED – DEN STRATEGISKE UDFORDRING belyser kunsten at styre overordnede processer, inklusive strategi, struktur og kultur, der er afgørende for at opnå resultater i dagligdagen. Dette er et tema, der er relevant for organisationer på tværs af bestyrelseslokalet og frontlinjen. Desværre prioriteres det sjældent systematisk, og resultatet afspejler ofte dette forsømte område. Bogen udforsker derfor disse dybtgående spørgsmål: Hvad er meningen? Hvem er vi? Hvor kommer vi fra? Hvor er vi på vej hen? Hvad vil vi opnå, og hvordan? Hvilke rammer har vi? Hvilken kultur vil vi fremme? Hvordan omsætter vi det til praksis og får alle med? Stig Næsh Hendriksen inddrager teori, der belyses gennem sine egne praktiske erfaringer, og han tager dig med på en rejse gennem cases fra kendte virksomheder og sine egne fejltagelser og succeser i mere end 40 år inden for lederskab, både nationalt og internationalt. Denne bog fortsætter rejsen, der blev påbegyndt med LEDERSKAB I ØJENHØJDE OG DEN MENNESKELIGE FAKTOR, udgivet i marts 2023. Hvor den første bog dykkede ned i følelser og menneskelig påvirkning, fokuserer denne bog på den rationelle styring af processer ud fra en overordnet vision og mening.
