Hoekom floreer een groep, maar ’n ander bly ’n sukkelbestaan voer? Fourie wys waarom die bouers van ’n samelewing–eerder as dié wat afbreek–uiteindelik seëvier. Boeiend en verrassend.

Today's headlines are full of employee unrest over racial injustice, communities infuriated by corporate environmental impacts, staff anxiety over surveillance, and discoveries of child labor in supply chains. Simply maximizing shareholder value while not breaking the law is no longer an option, but we've never been so confused about what it means to do the right thing.

In his twenty-first book, Bruce Piasecki argues that a set of five recurring prejudices, from 1900 to 2020, have held up real progress on climate action.

El mundo está cambiando de forma vertiginosa y, con él, las reglas del marketing. Las viejas prácticas tan bien aprendidas durante años han dejado de funcionar porque han saturado los medios de comunicación y la mente del consumidor. Para que nuestro producto no se vuelva invisible entre unas opciones cada vez más numerosas debemos hacerlo extraordinario, diferenciarlo y lograr que la gente se fije en él como si fuera una Vaca Púrpura.
