Progress of corporate history since the industrial revolution has been an enormous growth in freedom of enterprise, economic prosperity, innovation, technical, and intellectual advancement but it has also been, stoking the passions of greed, a slow and sure decay of morality, and social order culminating in high unemployment and Occupy Wall Street movements.
Business enterprise is a profound thought of good intentions toward the society, which sets apart corporate culture over individual choice. A culture is a function of true knowledge of awareness, an identity with the ethical responsibility, that by which corporate infers and society teaches. Immanuel Kant raised the question whether a science of metaphysics with a logical structure, like that of the well- established mathematical and natural sciences is possible? Measuring ethical assets usage, is crucial for corporate to bring the abstractions into reality, acknowledge value where value is due, and deconstruct what is valueless.
This book addresses these issues effectively by subject – object distinction of qualitative and quantitative elements of management, what Kant had pleaded for.
The convergence of blockchain and Internet of things (IoT) powered by data and artificial intelligence (AI) is on the agenda of several big companies and some of them have already started using its implementations, initiatives, and solutions in various projects. In this book, the author calls the convergence of these three technologies: the blockchain of intelligent things.
This book is targeted to help a broad audience, including anyone interested in and responsible for vision, projects, and implementations of blockchain, IoT, and AI in medium-sized companies and large enterprises. This would include business and technology managers, IT professionals, and last but not least, business or technology students, looking to broadening their knowledge and expertise. This book is number two in a series of four books.
The first chapters of the book take you from the convergence of blockchain and IoT, via an overview of the most important blockchain of things projects such as IOTA, and the industries, which are heavily being disrupted, into the blockchain of intelligent things, which essentially adds the business value of data science and AI. Further topics you will find in this book include chapters such as required skills, jobs and future, industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms, and opportunities, challenges, and trends of the blockchain of intelligent things. Readers looking for a methodology to engage in blockchain, IoT, and/or AI projects, can find a comprehensive description in my previous book New World Technologies: 2020 and Beyond.

Disruption is happening everywhere and in every aspect of our lives. It is happening at a scale and speed that is unprecedented in modern history impacting diverse industries. Not every disruption is driven by advances in technology as we have seen in the case of COVID-19 pandemic which has caused massive disruption to the economy, businesses and individual lives.
Leadership in Disruptive Times focuses on navigating the organizational challenges following the aftermath of the unprecedented global COVID-19 crisis and the disruption caused by digitization at the workplace in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (better known as Industry 4.0). It provides organizations and leaders with the relevant tools, frameworks and best practice approaches to develop and map their digital transformation journey in today’s highly disruptive, increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) and digital-driven workplace.
India evokes many images because the country is extremely heterogeneous in its resource endowments, climate, languages, and infrastructure. India provides a rich tapestry of economic and social milieu: the 22 officially recognized languages spoken by the population, with their many dialects; the caste system; and its hoary history with its rich culture and traditions.
India possesses a wide and varied resource base, although domestic sources supply only a third of the country’s oil requirements at present. India’s economic performance has attracted considerable commentary and controversy. Since 1950, India’s approach to economic development has been within the framework of a mixed economy, which has resulted from both pragmatic and political considerations.
The objective of this book is to provide an understanding of the economy with its nature and structure, dominance of unorganized sector, natural resources, economic and social infrastructure, demographic features, poverty, unemployment, inequality, national income, saving and investment, role of noneconomic factors, and sources of data. Despite being a part of the eight-volume series on the Indian economy, this second volume in the series is in the nature of an introductory essay designed to provide a succinct nontechnical exposition of India’s economic structure, performance, and policies.
This series is intended to serve as an introduction to the Indian Economy from the Post Reform of 1991. The author makes an endeavor to present how India’s economic fortunes dwindled over the centuries.
This first volume begins with an analysis of the history, evolution, and growth of the Indian economy through several periods along with their positive and negative aspects. The author attempts to bring fairly interesting snapshots to highlight how the Indian economy has evolved over the years. The book provides history; traces the evolution of the economy during the early Muslim period and the Mughal Empire as well as during the British regime (1761 to 1947); and analyzes the impact of the British regime and the growth of the economy between 1947 and 1990.
Points of analysis include policy framework—state and market; NITI Aayog— a think tank; the Indian polity—fiscal federalism; democracy and development;the economic policy regime prior to 1991; and economic reforms. The penultimate chapter looks at the future direction and task ahead of the economy. Finally, Indian economic thought is analyzed. There is plenty to discuss!
Businesses exist to provide goods and services to customers, and in doing so, they take risks. Among these risks is the chance of losing money in lawsuits filed by customers, employees, and others negatively impacted by the business. Insurance provides some protection against these liabilities, but lawsuits still take their toll.
This book covers the subject of economic damages and its role in insurance claims, lawsuits, and injunctions against businesses. This book will help the reader to identify economic damages as a component of business liability, describe the business risk posed by economic damages, explain some key determinants of economic damages, and estimate economic damages and business loss in a variety of cases.
As organizations tackle global challenges, the faces of our businesses and our economic system are changing to consider the interests of all stakeholders rather than just shareholders. This book provides a step-by-step approach for organizations to reap benefits from a more sustainable approach.
It begins with a brief history of the concept of sustainability as it applies to both performance and reporting. Implementing sustainability in an organization begins with the development of policies which are consistent with the expectations of its stake- holders. An organization’s active participation in multi-stakeholder initiatives helps to align the policies with societal trends. Once the policies are developed, a management system is crucial to ensure congruence of policies with actual performance.
Then, periodic reporting of performance based on well-recognized standards aids stakeholders in assessing an organization’s performance. It also helps stakeholders to determine if performance aligns with their expectations. Both internal and external assurances build stakeholder trust in the organization’s performance and reporting. Finally, the book concludes with a reflection on key messages and potential future actions for continuous improvement.
This book, “Body and Mind: The Effects of Money Problems,” advances readers into an examination of the effect of money problems on the body and mind. This book presents research that supports solutions offered throughout the series to fix maladjustments of the mind, and develop a sound grasp of the mind-body connection to ensure there is an unbreakable bond at all levels. Readers are guided into a psychological examination of the overexcited mind of a gambler or bettor or broker/trader, as a way of demonstrating how difficult it is to stop the runaway feedback mechanism that the brain’s reward system often is. The reader is presented with the effects of the hyperactive mind and of Type A personalities who believe the hype about themselves—on the brain, on stress hormone levels, on the immune system, on the heart—with sleep deprivation and insomnia rounded up as the usual symptoms in the vicious cycle of never having enough. A comprehensive diagram that charts the parts of the body that can be affected by stress is presented with key strategies for managing stress. The book begins with an evocation of the relentless pace of many high-strung professionals, with little socialization or emotional relief, and much in the way of mood and personality disorders. Strategies for developing stress-free solutions for avoiding depression, in addition to detailed data that point to high recovery rates from depression offer readers practical, tangible tools for managing real life, money problems. Pointers on how to avoid The Triggers that Produce Multiple Wounds will play a critical role in helping readers to equip their Gyroscope to cope with stress. Among other helpful concepts, the book encourages reader to examine the ways in which “fear,” for example, is an effective way to battle unhealthy behavior that can lead to psychosomatic symptoms, and if unchecked, to disorders. Money-strewn professions, such as finance, are littered with those who want it all—many of them high-functioning addicts to stress, alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, and the accumulation of money in its pure state. Book Three offers plenty of stories of excess, most of which, fortunately, include the, often, painful road back to balance and health. It closes with a meaningful invitation to the reader: Envision your Own Eden and the Good Life—words of encouragement to help them keep their eyes opened to considering how much money is enough.
