There's a problem with innovation inside of big companies. And it's not what you think. Corporations are better managed than ever, but they're less capable of delivering the breakthroughs that change our world for the better. Big companies are too often focused on efficiency instead of resiliency. They're optimized for safety and predictability, for maintenance of the status quo. Their focus on capital efficiency leads them to engage in an illusion of innovation: activity that feels like innovation but leads to value destruction, not progress. This book explains why meaningful innovation naturally emerges from deliberate inefficiency and how large corporations can harness the power of small teams-startups-to drive radical change through systematic experimentation. The Illusion of Innovation explores:What the Federal Witness Protection Program reveals about the power of individualsHow the Amazon river basin relies on random evolution to build resiliencyHow the NBA's shift to the three-point rule demonstrates the importance of thoughtful experimentsHow one-thousand-year-old businesses survive crisesWe need scaled corporations to recover their problem-solving capacity. This means questioning decades of embedded assumptions about why corporations exist and finding ways to run faster, cheaper, and weirder experiments. It's time to build again.

Look through the internet and what you would find is different gimmicks on the best strategy for making money from the stock market. Some preach the gospel of technical analysis. That is, using past data as an indication of things to come. Others simply believe that it is impossible to beat the market. This school of thought believe that one should simply purchase any stock market index then make whatever the market makes. These approaches and many more are fundamentally flawed for obvious reasons. For technical analysis, past price is never an indication of future market behavior. So, it is hard to predict what the market would do based on past prices. Also, though there might be some logic to buying an index fund, this is not sustainable as well. There are times when the market simply fails to make profit. Additionally, when inflation is factored in, the profit made from buying market indexes becomes less valuable as the days go by. What then is the correct way to approach the stock market? The answer is value investing. This approach has been proved over time to be a consistent money maker in the market. Though value investors such as Warren Buffett, we have been shown that this principle can beat the market consistently if followed by a disciplined investor. This book explores the concept of value investing from a holistic perspective. You would be introduced to the concept and shown how it has developed throw history. You would also be exposed to the fundamentals of value investing and how you can exploit that in your daily investing life. Finally, you would be prepared for a future in investing in value companies.

This contributed volume analyses and discusses how atmospheric carbon emissions can be prevented using carbon capture and removal technology and how renewable energies can be used to reduce carbon emissions. Both approaches have their disadvantages. First of all, both involve high costs. Secondly, both require the use of advanced technology. As a result, many countries continue to use fossil fuels. The book seeks to address these problems by identifying strategies to increase countries' use of clean energy. The authors discuss the dilemmas of zero emission and competition in the energy industry and illustrate cross-country applications of the current trends in the form of zero-emission business projects.

The rise of the global financial industry is treated by many economists as a critical component of the rise of neoliberalism. What few address is the role of the 1973 OPEC Oil Embargo and the 1979 Oil Shock in making modern financialization possible. Here, it will be demonstrated that the dramatic transfer of wealth from the industrialized, capitalist world to OPEC¿s members triggered by the Oil Embargo and the Oil Shock created a vast pool of liquid capital. Oil prices inflation, as a result of Embargo and Shock, also triggered a balance of payments crisis that created unprecedented global demand for credit. Processing this capital and mitigating the inflationary pressures which followed the 1973 Shock encouraged the development of more liquid, internationally mobile instruments that made financialization possible and ushered in the effective privatization of money creation. This transformation of the creation of money, the rise of a new global debt cycle, and petrocapital-fuelled changes to financial practices laid the foundations of modern finance and the neoliberal world order as we know them.

This book offers an updated primer on the valuation of digital intangibles, a trending class of immaterial assets. Startups like successful unicorns, as well as consolidated firms desperately working to re-engineer their business models, are now trying to go digital and to reap higher returns by exploiting new intangibles. This book is innovative in its design and concept since it tackles a frontier topic with an original methodology, combining academic rigor with practical insights. Evaluation issues are increasingly based on an analytical comprehension of augmented business models and virtual function analysis, nurtured by real-time big data. The impact of digitalization on scalable business models is the main competitive advantage factor of the BigTechs and other Unicorns, representing a target for startups and the reengineering of traditional firms. The transition from the Internet to the metaverse represents the last frontier, showing how 3D virtual and augmented reality impacts social networking. The second edition of this book updates the contents of the first edition while comprehensively introduces these innovative topics--such as the metaverse, cloud storage, multi-sided digital platforms, ESG-compliance, and value co-creation patterns of digitized stakeholders--and demonstrates how best practices can be applied to specific asset appraisals, making it of interest to researchers, students, and practitioners alike.

Most agency founders are focused on growing their agency, not selling it. Then it happens. The founder starts to get calls from suitors. A large agency who lost a big client to the founder's agency suddenly wants to know if she'd consider selling her business. An investment banker reaches out promising that he can get the founder millions of dollars if she lets him represent the agency to potential acquirers. A private equity investor pitches the founder on a roll-up strategy to combine the founder's business with other agencies to create an industry juggernaut.The agency founder is completely unprepared for these discussions. Should she even consider selling? Should she hire an investment banker? How much should the sales price be? How does she compare different offers? Should she get buy-in from the team? Will clients be OK with a sale?Founders who navigate these concerns properly might hit the jackpot-life-changing money, happy clients, happy team members, and peace of mind. Founders who do not may end up regretting passing on a sale as the biggest mistake of their life.Selling Your Marketing Agency puts you-the agency founder-on a level playing field, even if this is the first and only time you sell your agency, and it gives you the benefit of hindsight from other founders who've already sold theirs.
