Business and Management in Asia: Disruption and Change

This book focuses on “Disruption and Change” in the Asian region. In this context, managers and policymakers face a fast transformation of existing structures and business environments. From a business perspective, change is the adoption of business strategies, activities, and operations that meet the needs of the firm and its stakeholder today while protecting, sustaining, and enhancing the human and natural resources that will be needed in the future. Disruption refers to the radical changes in existing industries or markets due to technological innovation breakthroughs. There is a consensus among scholars and practitioners that organizations must manage the change well to flourish in a competitive business environment. Many business models need to be rethought to establish new ways to stay competitive. The book, with its practical examples, gives the reader impulses for new Asian’s approaches and encourages the readers to dare to think and act in new ways.

Taming the Risk Hurricane

Preparing for Major Business Disruption

A leading expert on risk management describes how to steer your company through a risk hurricane-the extreme risk exposure that can lead to major disruption for your business. Risk management has become a standard part of the strategic tool kit, providing senior leaders with a forward-looking radar to scan the future and give early warnings of approaching threats and opportunities. However, even best-in-class organizations can falter in the face of extreme risk exposure. Special circumstances demand special responses, and extreme risk exposure needs very careful handling. Routine risk management approaches will fall short, but businesses that demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and resilience will have the competitive advantage and the ability to thrive where others fail. The causes and consequences of meteorological hurricanes have parallels in the way uncontrolled risk exposure can develop in organizations. Both are caused largely by predictable factors, but both are characterized by sustained uncertainty and severe impact once they develop. If we can learn to predict a risk hurricane, prepare for it effectively, and survive its effects, then our organizations will be well placed to address the challenge of extreme risk exposure, if and when we are unfortunate enough to face it.

Its down-to-earth approach and communicative style will also speak to businesses practitioners who want to understand the ongoing digital disruption of the market rules and emergence of the new digital business models. The book refers to academic insights from economics and sociology while giving numerous empirical examples drawn from basic and applied research and business. It addresses several burning issues: how are digital processes transforming traditional business models? Does intelligent automation threaten our jobs? Are we reaching the end of globalisation as we know it? How can we best prepare ourselves and our children for the digitally transformed world?

Open Strategy

Mastering Disruption from Outside the C-Suite

How smart companies are opening up strategic initiatives to involve front-line employees, experts, suppliers, customers, entrepreneurs, and even competitors. Why are some of the world’s most successful companies able to stay ahead of disruption, adopting and implementing innovative strategies, while others struggle? It’s not because they hire a new CEO or expensive consultants but rather because these pioneering companies have adopted a new way of strategizing. Instead of keeping strategic deliberations within the C-Suite, they open up strategic initiatives to a diverse group of stakeholders—front-line employees, experts, suppliers, customers, entrepreneurs, and even competitors. Open Strategy presents a new philosophy, key tools, step-by-step advice, and fascinating case studies—from companies that range from Barclays to Adidas—to guide business leaders in this groundbreaking approach to strategy. The authors—business-strategy experts from both academia and management consulting—introduce tools for each of the three stages of strategy-making: idea generation, plan formulation, and implementation. These are digital tools (including strategy contests), which allow the widest participation; hybrid digital/in-person tools (including a “nightmare competitor challenge”); a workshop tool that gamifies the business model development process; and tools that help companies implement and sustain open strategy efforts. Open strategy has an astonishing track record: a survey of 200 business leaders shows that although open-strategy techniques were deployed for only 30 percent of their initiatives, those same initiatives generated 50 percent of their revenues and profits. This book offers a roadmap for this kind of success.

The Power Law

Venture Capital and the Art of Disruption

From an award-winning financial historian comes the gripping, character-driven story of venture capital and the world it made Innovations rarely come from "experts." Jeff Bezos was not a bookseller; Elon Musk was not in the auto industry. When it comes to innovation, a legendary venture capitalist told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. Most attempts at discovery fail, but a few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives venture capital, Silicon Valley, the tech sector, and, by extension, the world. Drawing on unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time, award-winning financial historian Sebastian Mallaby tells the story of this strange tribe of financiers who have funded the world's most successful companies, from Google to SpaceX to Alibaba. With a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis, The Power Law makes sense of the seeming randomness of success in venture capital, an industry that relies, for good and ill, on gut instinct and personality rather than spreadsheets and data. We learn the unvarnished truth about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in the history of tech, from the comedy of errors that was the birth of Apple to the venture funding that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber to the industry's notorious lack of women and ethnic minorities. Now the power law echoes around the world: it has transformed China's digital economy beyond recognition, and London is one of the top cities for venture capital investment. By taking us so deeply into the VCs' game, The Power Law helps us think about our own future through their eyes.

Cryptocurrency Scams

Keep Your Crypto Safe

Crypto scams! Cryptocurrency scams and schemes everywhere! I'm so glad you're reading this message before your friend enrolled you in their latest scheme. Dude, I got scammed over $150,000 in one of these. I was loving life. I was making money, travelling the world, getting rich and having fun. Business was great.But something was missing, what was it?I wasn't a millionaire yet.Inflation soaring. Education soaring. House prices soaring. With no end in sight.Lies about inflation numbers, unprecedented amounts of corruption.I knew I needed to buy crypto. I started doubling, tripling, quadrupling my money. On some coins, I even 10x my investment. I thought I was cool, posting my results on social media. Someone then roped me into their scheme. Within a couple of months, I lost 6 figures overnight. Everything good that was happening to me, gone. I lost my clients, fired my employees and got into credit card debt.To top it all off, I was losing friends and family members left and right. They were dropping out my life like flies.A wise man said "when money is scarce, friends are few." I've even gone homeless and hungry from this situation. I really don't want this to happen to you. I've learned incredible lessons from this experience. I've experienced being on top of the world and reduced to less than nothing in the eyes of society. These are the lessons that would've taken a lifetime to learn, all condensed into a couple of years of turmoil. Maybe you still don't know that much about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. What is bitcoin?Bitcoin is a peer to peer, electronic cash system. It has a limited supply. It's based on ownership. You either own bitcoin or you don't. You can't go to your friend who's a banker and get a loan for multiple million dollars in bitcoin at negative yielding interest rates. You can't add more bitcoin to a digital screen to enrich your buddies. The amount of bitcoin is finite, and the amount available becomes less and less as time goes on. This is the reason why it'll soar into the multiple millions in the future when our cryptocurrencies are hyperinflated to nothing.Why do I know that our currencies will hyperinflate? They always do. The rich own huge loans against properties. They want more money added to the system, because more money in the system means their loans are worth less in real wealth. When a country experiences a hyperinflationary collapse, whoever owns the most loans wins and gets rich. The poor and middle class, get decimated. Bitcoin adds a new dynamic to the mix. The reason for this is, gold and silver are based on the value of the derivative, not the underlying asset. There's more gold and silver "in the system" than the real gold and silver in the world. It's a scam. Crypto is the only asset that cannot be fractionally reserve traded. For this reason, we've seen a huge attack from the media puppets against cryptocurrencies. Why? Because they've not figured out a way how to rig cryptocurrencies to their benefit yet. It's not as easy to live a life of corruption with a currency that you can't control the supply and distribution of. We're about to watch a lot of power shift in the 21st century. How can you adapt to the changes that are occurring?Buying bitcoin! For a start. And learning the knowledge in this book, so you can avoid cryptocurrency scams. The scammers are getting smarter all the time! I was told so many lies. They're getting better at web development, recruiting, everything. As more and more people are left by the wayside from advances in technology, more people are left without a decent income, unable to support their lifestyle anymore.These people are DESPERATE to get rich before the debt bubble pops. They're willing to do and say anything. When it pops, expect cryptocurrency owners to get rich beyond their wildest dreams. You need to own crypto during this bull run, not getting scammed out of it.
