The free market underpins our economy and our way of thinking around enterprise and value, but it is also a major factor in the sustainability problems that we now live with. Climate change, child labour and oil spills are just a few of the many problems associated with our economic activity and, although many companies have made an effort to produce more sustainably, the pace of change is much too slow. This engaging and accessible textbook teaches students the relationship between the economy and sustainability, assessing the hand of the free market on company behaviour and, ultimately, providing a framework for transition to a sustainable economy.Using case studies and optional assessment questions, this textbook explains to students what a market is at the macro level and then translates the effects of the market to industries and subsequently to the strategic choices of companies at the micro level. It adopts a model of 8 guiding principles that underpin the current free market economy and 8 guiding principles for the sustainable market economy. Switching these deeply held principles will be essential to any serious transition to a sustainable economy.

This is the story of my life about how I was homeless. But because I have a talent for singing, I wrote a few songs and went around London selling them, until I discovered the mystery of a customer's mind. So, I'm not penning down theory lessons taught by another teacher or philosopher, but documenting my ownoriginal knowledge and experience of selling products directly to one person at a time in the UK. Mostly from Westminster to Buckingham Palace, Mayfair to Knightsbridge, Knightsbridge to Soho, Leicester Square to Oxford Circus, London Bridge to Waterloo, City ofLondon and many other places before people nicknamed me the Red Lion of Sales. Because I was so good at selling my product (music).

This book is for a very small percentage of business people.You see, most people in business are not trying to use Category Design to create a new category that changes the future and generates exponential new value. Instead, many people in business are trying to "not get fired." Many people want to go to work, make a contribution, and go home.But Category Design is purpose-built for people who want to make an exponential difference, not an incremental better.Category Design is a business discipline that helps companies earn the majority of the value created in a specific new or different category of products or services. (Primary research on Category Design in Play Bigger, the first Category Design book, shows that in technology categories, one company earns 76% of the total market cap value created.)

Auf die Frage, wie etablierte Unternehmen mit disruptiven Herausforderungen umgehen sollen, gibt es nur wenige Antworten. Dieser Lücke nimmt sich das Buch an. Aus zahlreichen Untersuchungen, Workshops und Diskussionsrunden wurde ein Managementansatz entwickelt, der eine erfolgreiche Selbstdisruption in etablierten Unternehmen unterstützt. Ein solcher Ansatz muss sich vom Vorgehen vieler disruptiver Angreifer unterscheiden. Etablierte Unternehmen mit großen und teilweise trägen Organisationen wehren sich gegen eine von oben verordnete «Start-up Mentalität». Auch dauert es in etablierten Unternehmen viel zu lange, Innovationen voranzutreiben und später auf das Kerngeschäft zu übertragen. Im Fokus steht deshalb die erfolgreiche Transformation im Kerngeschäft. Es muss etablierten Anbietern gelingen, eine permanente Selbstdisruption voranzutreiben. Erfolgreiche Transformation von Geschäftsmodellen in disruptiven Zeiten unterstützt diese Leitidee. Das erste Kapitel begründet die Bedeutung disruptiver Veränderungen, definiert den Begriff einer Disruption und erklärt die damit verbundenen Managementherausforderungen. Das zweite Kapitel schärft das Verständnis für disruptive Veränderungen in Unternehmen und stellt erste Tools für das Management bereit. Es werden zentrale Treiber disruptiver Prozesse identifiziert, vor den häufigsten Managementfehlern gewarnt, erklärt, wie Manager den Zeitpunkt für ein proaktives Handeln nicht verpassen, sowie das Vorgehen der Angreifer, um etablierte Unternehmen aus dem Markt zu drängen, beschrieben. Kapitel 3 begründet den spezifischen "High 5 Managementansatz für eine erfolgreiche Geschäftsmodelltransformation". Zunächst werden zentrale Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung über Geschäftsmodelle zusammengefasst. Die Funktion von Geschäftsmodellen, deren Charakteristika, sowie die Ableitung von 5 Handlungsfeldern, stehen im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung. Aufbauend auf diesen Grundlagen, wird ein anwendungsorientierter Managementansatz entwickelt. Für jedes der 5 zentralen Handlungsfelder werden konkrete Aufgaben vorgestellt, welche im Falle einer Geschäftsmodelltransformation zu beachten sind. Das vierte Kapitel illustriert die Anwendung des High 5 Ansatzes. Anhand von zahlreichen Fallbeispielen werden erfolgreiche und erfolglose Transformationsprozesse in Unternehmen beschrieben. Die Fälle entstammen unterschiedlichen Branchen und setzen Schwerpunkte im Hinblick auf unsere Handlungsfelder. Das fünfte Kapitel geht auf die "Führung von Transformationsprozessen" ein. Leitgedanken zur Führung einer erfolgreichen Selbstdisruption sollen helfen, das Risiko des Scheiterns zu reduzieren. Die Ausführungen sprechen typische Stolpersteine an und unterbreiten erste Vorschläge, um die mentalen Voraussetzungen in der Belegschaft für einen erfolgreichen Wandel zu schaffen. Das Buch wendet sich an das Management unterschiedlicher Branchen. Manager in etablierten Unternehmen - zu denen ca. 95% aller Betriebe zählen - erhalten mit diesem Buch einen theoretisch fundierten und praxistauglichen Leitfaden. Über 20 Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen unseren High 5 Ansatz einer erfolgreichen Geschäftsmodelltransformation.

Basierend auf einer Befragung von 1.111 Fundraiser*innen in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz liefert die vorliegende Arbeit Erkenntnisse zur Arbeitszufriedenheit und Arbeitssituation im Fundraising sowie zur Institutional Readiness der fundraisenden Organisationen. Die Arbeit beleuchtet die wesentlichen Management-Aspekte, die für eine gelingende Fundraising-Praxis Voraussetzung sind und ermittelt die größten derzeitigen Institutional-Readiness-Schwachstellen im deutschsprachigen NPO-Bereich: Personalknappheit, Digitalisierung und Strategie. Außerdem zeigt sie Fundraiser*innen mit dem Konzept der ¿Personal Readiness¿ Möglichkeiten auf, innerhalb der Organisation Einfluss zu nehmen zugunsten einer besseren Institutional Readiness. Die umfangreichen erhobenen Daten liefern empirische Belege, dass die drei Faktoren Arbeitszufriedenheit, Institutional Readiness und innerorganisationale Einflussmöglichkeiten zusammenwirken. Mit der Befragung konnte gezeigt werden, dass dem genannten Zusammenhang mit dem Konzept der ¿Personal Readiness¿ begegnet werden kann. Diese besteht in der Bereitschaft und im Engagement innerorganisational Veränderungen anzustoßen, die die Institutional Readiness und die Führungsarbeit effektiv verbessern.
