Business Entropy
Organizations have similar system dynamics to living beings. The books Autopoiesis and Cell Culture have already examined the mechanisms of growth and adaptability of cells and transferred them to the world of management. Business Entropy now examines the physical and chemical foundations on which something like life is possible. It is about change, inertia, energy and entropy. It deals with the question of how stability is possible, how processes can be accelerated through catalysis and how order can arise in living beings despite the second law of thermodynamics. The book offers a journey from Galileo and Newton to thermodynamics and biochemistry and translates these concepts into the world of organizations
Breathing in Manhattan
In 1938 gymnastics instructor Carola Spitz escaped from Nazi Germany. In New York she turned into Carola Speads, revered teacher of mindfulness. She breathed with clients in her Central Park West studio until she was 97 years old. Now Christoph Ribbat combines her gripping biography with the histories of modern bodywork and breathing experiments. He illuminates the tension between self-help fads and 20th century catastrophes. Accessible and quirky, Breathing in Manhattan speaks to experts and non-experts alike: to readers of Jewish history, students of New York City, and to anyone attracted by - or skeptical of - the promises of mindfulness.
Diplomatic Pursuits
Translated by Melanie Richter-Bernburg A satirical novel that follows the thoughts and adventures of Harry von Duckwitz, an aristocratic left-leaning lawyer who suddenly gives up his job and enters the foreign service which posts him to Ecuador. Full of direct and outrageous opinions about almost everything under the sun, Duckwitz is also thoughtful and self-critical, stumbling on may truths in his attempt to take on a wide variety of the species homo sapiens.
Directors' Duties and Corporate Anti-Corruption Compliance
This discerning book examines good governance developments concerning anti-bribery efforts in the US and the UK, recognising that with each new major case of corporate malfeasance the parameters of directors’ duties change and expand. Taking this expansion of roles and expectations into account, and acknowledging the respective increase in exposure to civil, criminal and reputational liabilities, Patrick J. O’Malley compares the fundamental national compliance experiences of the US and UK. Investigating anti-bribery, corporate and securities law and guidance, this engaging book explores systemic expectations of directors, executive officers and compliance personnel in public and private companies.
