Rethinking Business and Management: Global Transformations in the Digital Age

Rethinking Business and Management: Global Transformations in the Digital Age

$34.99

Rethinking Business and Management offers a timely and critical examination of how business and management are being reshaped by digitalization, globalization, and deep socio-economic change. As contemporary capitalism becomes increasingly driven by intangible assets, data, digital platforms, and financial power, this book challenges conventional assumptions about how markets, organizations, and managerial authority operate.

Bringing together insights from political economy, organization studies, and marketing, the book explores the rise of the intangible and sharing economies, shifting patterns of work marked by flexibility and precarity, and the growing influence of moral and political discourses such as woke capitalism. It examines how multinational corporations adapt within a fragmented yet highly interconnected global system, and how platform-based organizations and data-driven personalization are redefining both management practices and consumer identities.

The book also addresses the intensifying entanglement between digital technologies and finance, showing how fintech, platforms, and digital infrastructures are transforming investment, payment systems, and the distribution of economic power. Throughout, it foregrounds the implications of these transformations for inequality, governance, and the future of capitalism itself.

Combining analytical rigor with a critical perspective, Rethinking Business and Management provides readers with a coherent framework for understanding the forces reshaping business today. It is an essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to navigate—and rethink—the contemporary business landscape.

Rethinking Information Technology Asset Management, Second Edition

Rethinking Information Technology Asset Management, Second Edition

$31.99

Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM) and Software Asset Management (SAM) is hard to get right. Annual IT budget forecasts rarely hold. Costs spiral out of control. And the only answer seems to be to spend more money on another tool and hope for the best.

Why? Because traditional approaches to ITAM overlook the root causes:

  • Untrustworthy data from the CMDB or Asset MDR
  • Unplanned version upgrades or platform refreshes
  • Shadow IT: unapproved software, SaaS, or cloud computing subscriptions
  • Surprise software license audit penalties
  • And on, and on, and on

Sound familiar?

Rethinking Information Technology Asset Management became an Amazon bestseller for delivering real-world solutions to these exact problems.

This second edition expands on The Pragmatic ITAM Method, first introduced in 2021. New chapters explore the impacts of AI (generative and agentic) and how to optimize workflows across ITAM, Human Resources, and Cybersecurity. You’ll learn how to build trustworthy asset data, regain control of your IT budgets, and reduce risk—permanently.

Who This Book Is For:

  • CIOs, CTOs, and IT Leaders frustrated with blown budgets and audit penalties
  • ITAM and SAM professionals who want proven, field-tested practices without the steep learning curve
  • Anyone ready to stop hearing “that’s just the way it is” and start making IT asset management work
