Logistics is the invisible force behind the global economy, influencing and providing a lens into all economic activities. Chapters written by respected experts in the field describe how new technologies such as autonomous vehicles, blockchain, Internet of things (IoT), and state-of-the-art freight management solutions are fundamentally changing supply chain solutions. Special emphasis is placed on promising start-ups and venture capital firms around the world that are now investing in the future of logistics. "Supply chains hold significant room for optimization to the benefit of customers, industry participants, authorities and the environment. This book provides a unique set of perspectives from industry leaders covering a wide range of topics. It is a ‘must read’ for anyone seeking to understand and contribute to a better tomorrow in supply chains logistics." — Thomas Bagge, Chief Executive Officer and Statutory Director DCSA “The need for standardisation and digitalisation in logistics is no longer an option.

It’s an incredible resource if you wish to better understand the new normal of logistics.” — Global Chief Digital & Information Officer, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company "This book presents readers with a straightforward and comprehensive assessment of supply chain innovation and trends and their impact on the industry.

Disrupting Rape Culture by Fanghanel, Alexandra Pdf
Pussy grabbing; hot mommas; topless protest; nasty women. Whether hypersexualised, desexualised, venerated or maligned, women’s bodies in public space continue to be framed as a problem. A problem that is discursively ‘solved’ by the continued proliferation of rape culture in everyday life. Indeed, despite the rise in research and public awareness about rape culture and sexism in contemporary debates, gendered violence continues to be normalised. Using case studies from the US and UK – the de/sexualised pregnancy, the troublesome naked protest, the errant BDSM player – Fanghanel interrogates how the female body is figured through, and revolts against, gendered violence. Rape culture currently thrives. This book demonstrates how it happens, the politics that are mobilised to sustain it, and how we might act to contest it.

Disrupting the Digital Humanities by Dorothy Kim,Jesse Stommel Pdf
All too often, defining a discipline becomes more an exercise of exclusion than inclusion. Disrupting the Digital Humanities seeks to rethink how we map disciplinary terrain by directly confronting the gatekeeping impulse of many other so-called field-defining collections. What is most beautiful about the work of the Digital Humanities is exactly the fact that it can't be tidily anthologized. In fact, the desire to neatly define the Digital Humanities (to filter the DH-y from the DH) is a way of excluding the radically diverse work that actually constitutes the field. This collection, then, works to push and prod at the edges of the Digital Humanities - to open the Digital Humanities rather than close it down. Ultimately, it's exactly the fringes, the outliers, that make the Digital Humanities both lovely and rigorous. This collection does not constitute yet another reservoir for the new Digital Humanities canon. Rather, our aim is less about assembling content as it is about creating new conversations. Building a truly communal space for the digital humanities requires that we all approach that space with a commitment to: 1) creating open and non-hierarchical dialogues; 2) championing non-traditional work that might not otherwise be recognized through conventional scholarly channels; 3) amplifying marginalized voices; 4) advocating for students and learners; and 5) sharing generously to support the work of our peers.

The New Emerging Market Multinationals: Four Strategies for Disrupting Markets and Building Brands by Amitava Chattopadhyay,Rajeev Batra,Aysegul Ozsomer Pdf
Praise for THE NEW EMERGING-MARKET MULTINATIONALS One of Strategy and Business’s Best Business Books of the Year "This book is a real eye-opener. It will forever change your assumptions about international economic competition and who the winners will be." —PHILIP KOTLER Kellogg School of Management and author of Winning at Innovation "An insightful read—essential for those wishing to understand the evolution and growth of emerging-economy EMNCs and how they will reshape global market structures." —ANAND MAHINDRA, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Mahindra Group, India "As this timely book so insightfully points out, the rise of emerging-market multinationals is shifting the global competitive landscape and forcing us to think hard about new growth, strategy, and talent equations. A must-read for business leaders responsible for navigating today's global environment. —MUHTAR KENT, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Coca-Cola Company "This book offers an array of fascinating examples and an interesting framework for stimulating thinking about EMNCs' strategic options." —PANKAJ GHEMAWAT, IESE Business School, and author of World 3.0 "A must-read. The book is well researched and provides compelling case illustrations. I highly recommend it." —W. CHAN KIM, Professor, INSEAD; Codirector, INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute; and bestselling author of Blue Ocean Strategy "This is the future of global competition. You need to understand it if you aspire to be a player or if global markets are now a part of your strategy." —DAVID A. AAKER, Vice Chairman, Prophet, and bestselling author of Brand Relevance "This book gives a clear idea of the success formula of emerging-market multinationals by showing practical insights based on a deep understanding of EMNCs. This will help readers from any type of company structure their own growth strategies." —WONHONG CHO, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Hyundai Motor Company "An excellent collection of ideas and examples that should inspire companies in emerging markets looking to build brands and markets anywhere." —BUSINESSWORLD About the Book: LG. HTC. Tata. Haier. Lenovo. Arcelik. Natura. From smartphones and computers to blue jeans and beer, companies from China, India, Taiwan, Mexico, Turkey, and other emerging markets are now winning leading market shares with their own-branded, high-quality products—rather than with poorly produced products sold under others' brand names. These emerging-market multinational companies (EMNCs) are giving the incumbent market leaders of North America, Western Europe, and Japan a run for their money in the areas of innovation, branding, and marketing. How have these small, under-resourced businesses come so far so quickly? And what can you learn from their strategies and tactics? Renowned experts in global branding and marketing, the authors of The New Emerging-Market Multinationals conducted an in-depth study of 39 EMNCs to reveal the innovative compete-from-below strategies and tactics fueling these companies' meteoric rise. The authors identify four strategies driving this growth: COST LEADERS leverage existing low-cost structures and large-scale volumes to extend their reach into developed markets. KNOWLEDGE LEVERAGERS tap their existing resources and knowledge of home consumers and the market to build branded businesses in other emerging markets. NICHE CUSTOMIZERS combine their cost advantages in manufacturing with newly developed low-cost R&D capabilities to develop customized niche-segment branded offerings in other emerging markets. GLOBAL BRAND BUILDERS use their low-cost manufacturing and R&D capabilities to build branded businesses in developed markets— but limit their focus to specific products and segments through a process of focused innovation. Whether you run an EMNC or a developedmarket company, deep knowledge of the strategies outlined here is an absolute necessity for competing effectively now and in the future. Don't get caught off guard by the "new kids on the block"—because today's EMNCs are determined to be tomorrow's market leaders.

Disrupt Yourself by Whitney Johnson Pdf
Thinkers50 Management Thinker of 2015 Whitney Johnson wants you to consider this simple, yet powerful, idea: disruptive companies and ideas upend markets by doing something truly different--they see a need, an empty space waiting to be filled, and they dare to create something for which a market may not yet exist. As president and cofounder of Rose Park Advisors' Disruptive Innovation Fund with Clayton Christensen, Johnson used the theory of disruptive innovation to invest in publicly traded stocks and private early-stage companies. In Disrupt Yourself, she helps you understand how the frameworks of disruptive innovation can apply to your particular path, whether you are: a self-starter ready to make a disruptive pivot in your business a high-potential individual charting your career trajectory a manager looking to instill innovative thinking amongst your team a leader facing industry changes that make for an uncertain future We are living in an era of accelerating disruption; no one is immune. Johnson makes the compelling case that managing the S-curve waves of learning and mastery is a requisite skill for the future. If you want to be successful in unexpected ways, follow your own disruptive path. Dare to innovate. Do something astonishing. Disrupt yourself.

Disrupting Homelessness by Laura Stivers Pdf
Disrupting Homelessness unmasks the futile assumptions of our present approaches to homelessness and suggests ways in which Christians and Christian communities can create a prophetic social movement to end poverty and homelessness. Some Christian organizations focus on fixing the person and the behaviors that contribute toward homelessness. Others promote home ownership for low-income households. Stivers criticizes both approaches and assesses to what extent these approaches buy into our culture's dominant ideologies on housing and homelessness, and whether they promote justice and liberation for the least well off. She then outlines an advocacy approach for churches to address the multiple causes of homelessness and prophetically to aim to make a home for all in God's just and compassionate community.

"Over the past two decades, the Union, Oklahoma, School District transformed from serving a predominantly white, well-off student population to one that is racially diverse, with many students hailing from families in poverty. Yet, the graduation rate rose considerably even while the district operates on a dime. The district's success can be attributed to its culture of inclusion, designed to enfold and lift up each individual student. The district has made STEM a key feature of the curriculum, from kindergarten through high school. It operates community schools that offer a wide array of services, including after-school activities and health care, in every elementary school. It embraces an 'everyone participates' philosophy in the arts and athletics. And it eases the transition to higher education by offering college classes at the high school"--
