In order for their businesses to succeed managers need a good understanding of the economic environment in which they operate. By ignoring the wider implications of economic policy and of their business decisions, many managers are risking failure, but a good grounding in the central economic issues can ensure managing for future success. This book provides, in straightforward, jargon- and algebra-free prose, a clear introduction to macro economics, explaining the forces that are at work in a market economy and the terms used to describe them. This volume will be a vital guide for managers wishing to gain a better understanding of the world they live in, and improve their assessment of business risk.
More productive people and processes, fast. In many countries, productivity growth has been sluggish for over 15 years. It is the reason why we are all working harder for less money, and yet despite many attempts to overcome this, it remains a significant challenge.

In UNBLOCK, Amanda Sokell sets out the root cause of a poor productivity culture and outlines four levers to transform your productivity, and therefore your profits, in only 100 days. Amanda Sokell is a process and productivity expert who helps companies thrive. She’s also a popular speaker, author, entrepreneur, creative, polymath and educationalist; lover of learning, chocolate, dancing and difference. In a 25-year career spanning public relations, software development, coaching, mentoring and training, Amanda has helped transform the productivity culture of organizations from global pharmaceuticals to family-run microbusinesses.
