500 Days
How different could the world have been, then and now, if lead-ups and events surrounding the Second World War had occurred vastly differently? What if different alliances had been formed through dramatic circumstances and, subsequently, the tyrants had been unable to wield their evil powers? In the latter half of the 1930s, Russia and Germany are going through the motions of getting on well with each other until a series of “events” occur. A spectacular explosion kills many fascists including Hitler and the Russians decide to seize the moment and invade. Britain and France declare war on Russia and become allied to a Germany under new leadership. There are more shocks when Stalin disappears just when the Russians seem on the brink of success. Germany, however, has a great deal of support and there are great sea powers, especially Britain, who begin to demonstrate their vast reach. One of the smallest navies in existence also has a big say in subduing a mighty power.

Using strategic design lenses, the author proposes a new model of awakened sustainability, which offers a transformational shift in corporate sustainability to ensure companies fairly and ef...

Going beyond theory and philosophy, in this book Craig Kauffman and Pamela Martin analyze the politics behind the creation and implementation of t...

Digital Marketplaces Unleashed
This collection of different views on how digitalization is influencing various industrial sectors addresses essential topics like big data and analytics, fintech and insuretech, cloud and mobility technologies, disruption and entrepreneurship. The technological advances of the 21st century have been massively impacted by the digital upheaval: there is no future without digitalization.

Applying Business Capabilities in a Corporate Buyer M&A Process
As a first step towards applying Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), Andreas Freitag investigates the end-to-end applicability of business capabilities in the M&A process of a corporate buyer organization. Enterprises still struggle to manage M&A efficiently. A significant number of merger projects do not reach the expected goals or fail completely. Therefore, companies attempt to improve their M&A capability by establishing the required skills, organization, processes and methods. EAM is an approach for business and IT planning, promising to contribute to the success of business transformation challenges such as M&A. Business capability models are an essential element of a state of the art EAM approach. They are frequently used as a starting point to work collaboratively with business and IT stakeholders.
