The Vice-Chairman's Doctrine
There are books about product and companies but no books about a company as a product. The Vice Chair arrives from orbit around a corporation with a doctrine of leadership without authority for business warriors who reject control, live in a world of influencers, and aspire to become one. Process and culture converge as competitive advantage by refashioning priorities for Industry 4.0 through unorthodox lenses in a no holds-barred treatment of influence and leverage complete with coaching, mantras, and essential tales of leadership. Competitive action is focused through design thinking and transformation within a social system. A greater metamorphosis combines personal development with management of a company as though it were a product, leading to culture, branding, and innovation in the form of actionable values.

Four Laws for the Artificially Intelligent
Ask not what AI can do for a company, rather what artificial intelligence may do to a company. How does a company successfully integrate artificial intelligence into its operations? What are the problems in doing so? And how does the introduction of AI into society change the answer to the first question? As companies delay or even cancel initiatives in artificial intelligence, Four Laws for the Artificially Intelligent redefines possibilities and offers leverage to turn AI visions into reality. It is a story of transformation: of people, of companies, and of artificial intelligence itself. The Four Laws is unique in its combination of stories and science illustrating how a technology competing with human consciousness is introduced and assimilated within a company. A work of creative nonfiction stretched on a frame of research, it is an essential trail guide for navigating the Industry Version 4.0 jungle in a search of the fruits of innovation.
Technology and Regulation
This book is an augmented account of Technology and Regulation: How Are They Driving Our Markets?, a conference hosted by the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College on May 1, 2007. The text includes the edited transcript of the full conference: four panels and the major presentations of three distinguished industry leaders – Ian Domowitz, Managing Director, ITG, Inc.; Erik Sirri, Director of the Division of Market Regulation, US Securities and Exchange Commission; and John Thain, who was CEO of NYSE Euronext at the time of the conference. The book also includes a related paper by Paul Davis, Mike Pagano, and myself: “Divergent Expectations,” Journal of Portfolio Management, Fall 2007. My co-editors and I have worked diligently to make this book, like all the other popular books in the series, more than an historical record. John Byrne, Antoinette Colaninno and I have edited the manuscript heavily for clarity and unity of ideas.
Murder of a Martyr
I should have checked a medieval prophecy that exiled a hermaphroditic queen before getting involved. My name is Getz Parker, here to remind that good intentions may produce bad outcomes, like murder. I was sponsoring a circus for fellow neurodivergent children, when a religious revival brought its brand of alchemy and death to town. They needed entertainment, the circus needed funds, what could go wrong? I did not envision competing saviors scheming to end the world’s population. I missed the memo on how revivalists could rip apart a martyr’s second coming. And, having had nice jazz-loving parents, I never gave a thought to murder instigated by a mother’s blind desire. I call it, salvation by murder, atonement optional.
Murder Above Heaven
My name is Getz Parker and I’m in the information business, which is not sexy. But when an autistic child asked for help, I entered a world in which life and death are as hard to tell apart as magic and technology. My artificially intelligent companion spends more time on my mental health than on problem solving, so it may be no surprise we were stumped by puzzles leading from boardroom to bedroom, from séance to sacrifice, and from trepidation to transformation. We stumbled a bit on the way, I admit. Who would have dreamed rituals of sacrifice would enable a scheme to counterfeit minds and corrupt the very concept of truth? My problem was more basic, though. I wish someone could have answered a simple question: if nobody dies, can it be murder?
Call Auction Trading
This book is based on the proceedings of The Electronic Call Auction: New Answers to Old Questions, a conference hosted by the Zicklin School of Business on May 16, 2000. The text includes the edited transcripts of the panel discussions and separate addresses by three major industry executives Douglas M. Atkin, formerly President and CEO, Instinet Corporation; Kenneth D. Pasternak, formerly President and CEO, Knight/Trimark Group, Inc., and William J. Brodsky, Chairman and CEO, Chicago Board Options Exchange. The electronic call auction is an important trading vehicle in many market centers around the world, but is not well understood in the US. What are call auctions? How should they be designed and integrated with continuous trading in a hybrid market structure? As call auctions play a more central role in the US markets, how will they affect market quality in terms of transparency, order flow consolidation, and price discovery? These and other critical questions were asked at the conference while the efficiency of the US markets was broadly assessed.
The Transmission of Chinese Medicine
This is one of the first studies of traditional medical education in an Asian country. Conducting extensive fieldwork in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province in the People's Republic of China, Elisabeth Hsu became the disciple of, a Qigong master a scholarly private practitioner, who almost wordlessly conveys esoteric knowledge and techniques; attended seminars given by a senior Chinese doctor, an acupuncturist and masseur, who plunges his followers into the study of arcane medical classics, and studied with students at the Yunnan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the standardised knowledge of official Chinese medicine is inculcated. Dr Hsu compares the theories and practices of these different Chinese medical traditions and shows how the same technical terms may take on different meanings in different contexts. This is a fascinating, insider's account of traditional medical practices, which brings out the way in which the context of instruction shapes knowledge.
Market Integrity
This book explores the integrity of equity markets, addressing such issues as the exchange vs. customer perspective on price discovery and the ways market participants deal with key regulatory concerns.
