<b><i>The new book by STEVEN BARTLETT: entrepreneur, podcaster and Dragon's Den star</i><br/><br/>This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. </b><br/><b>This is a book about something much more permanent. </b><br/><br/>At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.<br/><br/><b>These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.</b><br/><br/>They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.<br/><br/><b>These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started? </b>

You know him as the founder of Microsoft; the philanthropic, kind-hearted billionaire who has donated endless funds to good causes around the world. But there's another side to Bill Gates.<br/><br/>We might like to think of the Gates Foundation as an innocent charity giving away money, collaborating with stakeholders, and listening to the desires of the populations it hopes to help, but is that how it works in practice?<br/><br/>Combining rich storytelling and ground-breaking reporting, <i>The Bill Gates Problem </i>offers readers a provocative and timely counter-narrative about one of the world's most widely recognized individuals - a true global celebrity with international reach. But more than that, this book speaks to a vital political question around economic inequality and the erosion of democratic institutions - why should the super-rich be able to transform their wealth into political power, and just how far can they go?

Marketing goes digital är den nya bibeln för företag och företagare som anser det viktigt att hänga med i sin digitaliserade samtid. Den är skriven av Johan Eriksson och David Ståhlberg, två ledande experter inom digitalisering med bakgrund inom företaget Google. Boken reder ut begreppen kring en rad trender inom marknadsföring båda med bakgrund i digitalisering. Författarna pekar på det som verkligen ger resultat, inte på vad som är mest i ropet just nu. De vägleder läsarna genom allt från hur man bäst organiserar sig för förändring och innovation till hur man arbetar med modeller och konkreta verktyg för att effektivisera sin sälj- och marknadskommunikation. Bokens kärnbudskap är att man istället för att haka på varje dyr marknadsföringstrend inom digitalisering, ska satsa tid och pengar på sin organisation. För att överleva måste man samla medarbetare omkring sig som är nyfikna och vetgiriga och skapa en arbetskultur som premierar nya idéer, även i de fall det innebär kritik mot det egna ledarskapet, menar författarna. Till stöd för sin teori har de några av världen främsta marknadsförare inom digitalisering. Boken innehåller en rad spännande intervjuer med världsnamn som: Avinash Kaushik (Google), Martin Lindström och Yasuhari Sasaki (Dentsu. Inc). Boken är både en inspirationsbok och ett handfast verktyg att använda sig av. Varje kapitel innehåller konkreta förslag och checklistor på hur man, på ett enkelt sätt, kan omsätta Johans Erikssons och David Ståhlbergs idéer till handling. Marketing goes digital är skriven på engelska.

Hello. My book is about values and numbers I have a passion for both. It is very difficult to start a successful business without a firm values-based foundation and it is almost impossible to run a successful business unless everyone understands the numbers. Approximately Right shows you how to do this whether youre a start-up or an established company; whether youre 22 or 75. "This book isn´t Approximately Right. It is Absolutely Right". Carl-Henric Svanberg, Ordförande för BP och Volvo, tidigare VD för Ericsson och Assa Abloy "De enkla lösningarna är oftast de bästa. Approximately Right visar hur de kan genomföras på ett handgripligt sätt." Thomas Berglund, VD för Capio och tidigare VD för Securitas "Det här är en managementbok som jag skulle ha behövt läsa när jag var 20 år gammal." Lars Mattsson, Seniorrådgivare på Solberg och tidigare ekonomiskribent

Not understanding is a form of insight. This being the case, we have a great many deep insights into the question of how organisations are constructed and how they work. The question of management, in other words. We have a good grasp, and yet there is much that we do not understand. We do not believe that this is because we are stupid or ignorant, rather that it is due to the deficiencies of the explanations offered.<br/>This book is emancipatory in its purpose. The aim is to provide release from the repression of inadequate explanations. The idea is that we should get a better picture of how organisations work by trying out various methods for reading them better. Our attempt to reveal or render intelligible1 what happens is based on the fact that what happens within organisations, as in their construction, is so often expressed using suggestive descriptions or images. In short, metaphors.<br/>Metaphors make description more comprehensible and easier to sell. But when it comes to organisations, metaphors also suppress our reasoning and our feelings. They control what we are able to see, and how we interpret what we see. It is from this tyranny of metaphors that we will try to liberate ourselves. Often, metaphors themselves will be the tools we will use for revelation. Our liberation will therefore be only partial.<br/>This book is aimed at all those active professionals who are not yet able to vote through solutions without first knowing what the problem might be. Those who have grown tired of simply relying on their gut feeling and who want to understand before saying "No, I don't agree with that" or "ok, I'll go along with that". These members of organisations who are more critical in their thinking cannot be few in number.<br/>At the same time, we also address colleagues carrying out research and higher education students. We believe that the time has come to throw out much of what has been written about organisation and the process of organising. The field is bogged down by a great many theories and models that have lost the explanatory power they once held or may have held. This book aims to be one of the new voices after the clean-up.
