<p>André Oscar Wallenberg founded Stockholms Enskilda Bank, which has become one of Sweden s major banks, in the mid 19th century. After a banking crisis in 1878 79, two of his sons, Knut and Marcus Sr, managed to restore the family s sphere. When other banks and investment companies had been seriously hit by two world wars and the intervening collapse of Ivar Kreuger s enterprises, the Wallenbergs were best fitted for the prosperous post-war era. They soon dominated Sweden s financial world as well as its expanding export industry.</p><p>In <i>Wallenberg The Family that Shaped Sweden s Economy</i>, Gunnar Wetterberg traces the history of an outstanding Swedish family. He tells of political complications and financial brainwaves and presents the family s leading men and their feuds. Wetterberg relates the history of the Wallenbergs as a financial dynasty, intertwined with Sweden s development into a modern industrial nation. In no other country has a single family had such a strong and multi-facetted position for so many years.</p><p>Gunnar Wetterberg, born 1953, is a historian and author, initially a diplomat. Besides heading the 1992 and 1995 Medium-term Surveys at Sweden s Finance Ministry, he has been a director of the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Head of the Research &amp; Policy Department at the Swedish Confederation of Professional Associations. He was awarded the Duke Charles Prize for his biography of the Swedish Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna (1583 1654) and the Kunskaps Prize for erudition in 2008. He holds an honorary doctorate at the Arts Faculty of Lund University and is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.</p>

Elling Ellingsen (1942-2015) was by many seen as the epitome of a real shipping entrepreneur, who started his career at sea, went ashore and embarked on a path of business development. The core area for Elling was the maritime transport and handling of forest products, but he was also involved in passenger ferries, oil tankers, dry cargo ships as well as road haulage, terminals and wastepaper handling.<br/><br/>The book follows Elling, the individual entrepreneur, and describes the vicissitudes of his entrepreneurship, deal by deal, ship by ship, innovation by innovation. It argues that Elling's entrepreneurship was mediated by relationships to business, partners, shippers, shipyards, brokers, seamen and financiers, and their particular relationship dynamics. The book also contextualises the period in which Elling was active, from its start in the optimistic frenzy preceding the 1973 oil crisis until the depression after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and all that came in between with market booms and busts.<br/><br/>This is a book about entrepreneurship, success, collapse and an incredible drive to come back.

<p>In the book that People magazine proclaimed &quot;beguiling&quot; and &quot;fascinating,&quot; Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (&quot;Law 1: Never Outshine the Master&quot;), others teach the value of confidence (&quot;Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness&quot;), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (&quot;Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally&quot;). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.</p>

This book describes a way of leading and organising a company which is radically different from that practised by most companies. The starting point is that there are certain timeless human demands that should be met by any organisation. This will lead to organisations that are radically decentralised. The fundamental principle of decentralisation was put to the test when Handelsbanken was completely reorganised 33 years ago. The head office was cut down by a third and (among other things) all budgeting and long term planning was abandoned. Since then the external circumstances in which banks have to operate have varied very much. Handelsbanken has, however, always followed the same basic principles in its work and by doing so has been extraordinarily successful. In this book you will find a description of the ideas behind the principles and a detailed account of how such a different organisation functions. Jan Wallander was born in 1920. After his doctors degree in economics he worked as a scientist and became associate professor at the University of Stockholm. He left the university career in 1960 when he became managing director of Sundsvallsbanken, a provincial bank in the northern part of Sweden. Ten years later he was appointed CEO of Handelsbanken. Subsequently he became Chairman of the Board of the bank. He retired from the bank in 1991, when he was made Honorary Chairman. He has been chairman and a member of the boards of many private and Government-owned companies and is still active as author and lectures.

In the long-awaited follow-up to the international bestseller Funky Business, Jonas Ridderstråle and Kjell A Nordström launch a new manifesto for how to make it in the world of Karaoke Capitalism. The karaoke economy is dominated by individuals with endless choice. The trouble for business is that the karaoke club is also home to institutionalized. Copy-cats abound. Only imagination and innovation place societies, organizations and individuals center-stage. Karaoke Capitalism is a call to arms. Kjell and Jonas are rebels with a cause. With their unorthodox combination of academic rigor, forceful logic and funky free-thinking they once again re-write the rules for evolutionaries. This is a true work-out for the wits. Free your mind! The book teaches us how to successfully compete on competencies, create capitalism with character, and how to have a great life while also making a living. It is required reading for all those wanting to be a first-rate version of themselves rather than a second-rate version of someone else. "If you loved Funky Business as much as I did, you´ll love Karaoke Capitalism. Weird? Most certainly. Different? Most definitely. But, if you want to re-imagine your organization and your career it´s a thought-provoking place to start." Tom Peters, management guru and author of "Re-imagine" and many other fine management books.
