Greed is dead / Collier, Paul M. (2021)

Públic ISBD Títol : Greed is dead : Politics after individualism Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Collier, Paul M., Autor ; J. A. (John Anderson) Kay, Autor Editorial : Penguin Books Data de publicació : 2021 Nombre de pàgines : 194 Dimensions : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-14-199416-1 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Història econòmica Classificació : 017 Història econòmica Resum : Two of the UK's leading economists call for an end to extreme individualism as the engine of prosperity Throughout history, successful societies have created institutions which channel both competition and co-operation to achieve complex goals of general benefit. These institutions make the difference between societies that thrive and those paralyzed by discord, the difference between prosperous and poor economies. Such societies are pluralist but their pluralism is disciplined. Successful societies are also rare and fragile. We could not have built modernity without the exceptional competitive and co-operative instincts of humans, but in recent decades the balance between these instincts has become dangerously skewed: mutuality has been undermined by an extreme individualism which has weakened co-operation and polarized our politics. Collier and Kay show how a reaffirmation of the values of mutuality could refresh and restore politics, business and the environments in which people live. Politics could reverse the moves to extremism and tribalism; businesses could replace the greed that has degraded corporate culture; the communities and decaying places that are home to many could overcome despondency and again be prosperous and purposeful. As the world emerges from an unprecedented crisis we have the chance to examine society afresh and build a politics beyond individualism.

The Hare & the tortoise / J. A. (John Anderson) Kay (2006)

Públic ISBD Títol : The Hare & the tortoise : an informal guide to business strategy Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : J. A. (John Anderson) Kay, Autor Editorial : London : The Erasmus Press Data de publicació : 2006 Nombre de pàgines : 178 p. ll. : il. Dimensions : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-954809-31-7 Nota general : Inclou índex i bibliografia Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Empreses -- Planificació Planificació estratègica Classificació : 880.112/15 Planificació d'empreses Resum : Most business books are bland or dull, or both. This volume is neither. John Kay combines insightful analysis with wit and verve. In this book, we meet heroes as diverse as Sun Tzu, Jacques Derrida, and Jack Welch. We study businesses as diverse as Honda Motors, the grandes marques of Champagne, and Jenners department store in Princes Street, Edinburgh. We learn why size doesn't matter, why brakes are different from signals, how to value businesses, and why the author was wrong to tell students that Boeing's position in the civil aircraft market was unassailable. In less than two hundred pages, John Kay provides a lively introduction to business strategy and a guide to many of the key issues in business today.

Radical Uncertainty / J. A. (John Anderson) Kay (2020)

Públic ISBD Títol : Radical Uncertainty : Decision-Making Beyond the Numbers Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : J. A. (John Anderson) Kay, Autor ; Mervyn J. King, Autor Editorial : New York : W. W. Norton Data de publicació : 2020 Nombre de pàgines : 554 p. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-324-00477-6 Nota general : Ínclou bibliografia i índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Incertesa Classificació : 01 Ciència econòmica Resum : Some uncertainties are resolvable. The insurance industry’s actuarial tables and the gambler’s roulette wheel both yield to the tools of probability theory. Most situations in life, however, involve a deeper kind of uncertainty, a radical uncertainty for which historical data provide no useful guidance to future outcomes. Radical uncertainty concerns events whose determinants are insufficiently understood for probabilities to be known or forecasting possible. Before President Barack Obama made the fateful decision to send in the Navy Seals, his advisers offered him wildly divergent estimates of the odds that Osama bin Laden would be in the Abbottabad compound. In 2000, no one—not least Steve Jobs—knew what a smartphone was; how could anyone have predicted how many would be sold in 2020? And financial advisers who confidently provide the information required in the standard retirement planning package—what will interest rates, the cost of living, and your state of health be in 2050?—demonstrate only that their advice is worthless.The limits of certainty demonstrate the power of human judgment over artificial intelligence. In most critical decisions there can be no forecasts or probability distributions on which we might sensibly rely. Instead of inventing numbers to fill the gaps in our knowledge, we should adopt business, political, and personal strategies that will be robust to alternative futures and resilient to unpredictable events. Within the security of such a robust and resilient reference narrative, uncertainty can be embraced, because it is the source of creativity, excitement, and profit.
