Designing Innovation Around Patient Access and Responsibility
Pharmaceutical innovation succeeds every day, yet patient access too often does not.Regulatory approval is frequently treated as the finish line, but it only grants permission to market a therapy and does not guarantee that a single patient will receive it, because between approval and adoption lies a complex reality shaped by evidence, affordability, policy, and trust.In Designing Pharmaceutical Innovation Around Patient Access and Responsibility, Tony Toks Akiwumi challenges the industry's most persistent assumption that good science naturally finds its way to patients, drawing on real world experience across development, market access, and policy to show how early decisions in trial design, evidence generation, pricing, and stakeholder engagement quietly determine who gets treated and who does not.Introducing practical frameworks such as the Access Equation, the New Value Triangle, and the Access Maturity Matrix, the book equips organisations to move from approval first thinking to access first design, using case studies, leadership tools, and candid reflection to demonstrate how innovation can be built for adoption rather than hope.For leaders in pharma, biotech, policy, and healthcare, this is both a strategic guide and a moral argument, grounded in a simple truth: the real measure of innovation is not what is approved, but who it ultimately reaches.

Lifecycle of Nations
In a world fractured by tariff wars, rising protectionism, and geopolitical rivalry, Steve Jones offers something different: a structured framework for understanding how economies truly evolve, and how nations can grow together rather than apart.In The Lifecycle of Nations, Jones introduces a five-stage Maturity Model for Economies and Markets, from nascent, resource-dependent nations to post-industrial, innovation-led consumer economies. Drawing on economic history, modern case studies, and the defining lessons of the 20th century, he argues that countries do not rise randomly. They progress through identifiable stages, each with distinct pressures, trade dynamics, and strategic responsibilities.Readers will see how collaborative trade built prosperity after World War II, and how protectionism repeatedly undermines it. From Adam Smith and David Ricardo to the repeal of the Corn Laws, from the Smoot-Hawley Tariff to President Reagan's warnings against trade wars, history provides unmistakable evidence: nations prosper most when they specialize, exchange, and respect comparative advantage.Through case studies of China, the United States, Germany, India, Vietnam and others, Jones maps where countries sit today, and why the language of "reciprocal tariffs" must give way to a deeper understanding of "reciprocal needs."More than theory, this book serves as a diagnostic tool for policymakers, investors, business leaders, scholars, and engaged citizens seeking clarity in a fractured, multi-nodal global order.The global economy functions best not when nations compete to win alone, but when they recognize that prosperity is shared.The Lifecycle of Nations is both a map and a mirror for the 21st century.BONUS Readers also receive access to a complimentary mini-book, Churchill's Leadership Lessons from American Presidents, distilling five timeless principles Churchill drew from Washington, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman - leadership insights that shaped Allied victory, built the post-war world order and remain urgently relevant today.

Remaking Sustainability
Business is at a sustainability crossroads. There is pressure from some shareholders and elected politicians to dial back on environmental and social issues, sustainability being "too woke" and a constraint on economic growth. However, there are competing pressures that mean that these same issues are now increasingly material to the bottom line; businesses ignore them at their peril as they threaten the true longer-term value of the company. This book sets out the case for the "Sustainability of Sustainability". There is compelling evidence from underlying trends in finance, trade and technology that shows that there is a sustainability bedrock, beyond which it cannot be pushed back. That bedrock is not too deep, and so a course correction is coming. Businesses should be investing now in core sustainability to be ready for the new, more durable sustainability to come. Morrison argues that while sustainability is already perceived by many as an orthodoxy, it has yet to secure the legitimacy and trust required to deliver real and lasting change. The book is for anyone who is curious about why. when and how sustainability will re-emerge and how best to prepare for its homecoming. There is a big opportunity: we will lose a lot of the fluff, green-washing, and noise and build a stronger and more meaningful version of sustainability as we do. The book helps any business manager, policy-maker or community leader find their sustainability bedrock and to build upon solid foundations.

Positive Blackmailing In BINA World Four Management Stories of Strategic Influence and Mutual Power Ghosh's Management Series
'Power rarely announces itself with thunder. More often, it arrives softly, clothed in necessity, wrapped in obligation, and justified in the language of survival. Positive Blackmailing: Four Management Stories of Strategic Influence and Mutual Power invites the reader to step into this quiet, uncomfortable, yet deeply familiar world where influence is exercised without open threats and decisions are made without clean moral lines.This book does not shout accusations, nor does it offer easy judgments. Instead, it holds a mirror to the realities of organised life. Governments negotiate support in exchange for development. Corporations accept exclusivity to ensure stability. Universities bend priorities to protect funding. Hospitals align with suppliers to keep services uninterrupted. Media moderates resistance to survive. Families compromise ideals to preserve unity, inheritance, or peace. These are not fictional extremes. They are everyday truths, lived and accepted, rarely spoken aloud.Through four carefully crafted management narratives drawn from governance, corporate systems, education, and healthcare, the author explores a grey territory that lies between coercion and cooperation. Here, blackmail is not brutal or criminal. It is subtle, rational, and often mutual. It is pressure that both sides recognise, accept, and sometimes even depend upon. In this space, influence becomes a tool for alignment rather than destruction, for continuity rather than collapse.Written in a reflective, story-driven style, the book allows situations to unfold naturally through characters, circumstances, and choices. The reader is not lectured but gently led to observe how power flows, how dependency shapes decisions, and how morality adapts when survival, growth, or responsibility is at stake. Each story asks uncomfortable questions without forcing rigid answers. Is this manipulation or maturity? Is this compromise or wisdom? Is this ethical failure or strategic necessity?Beneath the modern management lens runs a deeper current of ancient insight. The quiet pragmatism of Kautilya, the layered strategies of the Mahabharata, the moral trials of the Ramayana, and the introspective wisdom of the Upanishads echo through these pages. They remind us that human systems have always been governed by balance rather than perfection.This book is for leaders, managers, policymakers, scholars, and thoughtful readers who sense that real-world decisions are rarely pure. It is an invitation to understand power not as good or evil, but as a relationship and in understanding it, perhaps to wield it with greater awareness, restraint, and responsibility.

Jennifer's writing invites readers to pause, to listen more deeply, and to rediscover what anchors them when the familiar map no longer applies.At a time when leadership norms are shifting and uncertainty is the new constant, The Shape of Change helps readers develop the capacity to meet complexity with steadiness and heart. It reminds us that leadership is not only about making progress but about making meaning, together.Readers will find guidance on: Leading through disruption with curiosity and empathy.Rebuilding trust in fractured workplaces.Nurturing courage and compassion in themselves and others.For business leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating transition, The Shape of Change illuminates how moments of upheaval can become sources of insight and renewal.Jennifer Brown, author of How to Be an Inclusive Leader and Beyond Diversity, has long helped organizations evolve.

Rough Start Guide to Starting a Private Detective Agency
The Rough Start Guide to Starting a Private Detective Agency A Practical Guide to Building a Private Investigation Business from Store Detective to International IntelligencePrivate investigation is frequently misunderstood through the lens of fiction. In practice, it is a regulated, commercially structured profession built upon disciplined information collection, legal awareness, analytical processing, and accountable delivery to decision-makers. This book examines the field as it operates in reality and provides a structured foundation for those seeking to establish a private detective agency as a serious enterprise.The guide begins by defining the distinction between information gathering and intelligence production, establishing the analytical framework that underpins professional investigative work. It then maps the operational spectrum of the industry, from retail loss prevention and domestic investigation through corporate fraud inquiries, litigation support, journalistic research, political investigation, and higher-level commercial intelligence assignments. By examining this full range, the book demonstrates how investigative techniques remain consistent while regulatory exposure, liability, governance requirements, and commercial scale evolve.Practical business architecture is addressed throughout. The reader is introduced to licensing frameworks, insurance structures, entity formation, operational governance, subcontracting models, client acquisition strategies, professional networking, and the economic realities of investigative contracts. The text also considers risk management, evidential standards, reputational exposure, and the legal grey areas that can arise when scaling operations across jurisdictions.Rather than romanticising the profession, this volume treats private investigation as part of a broader privatised intelligence and compliance economy. It is written for readers who intend to build structured, accountable investigative businesses and who require clarity on the operational, regulatory, and commercial foundations necessary to do so responsibly.

Supremacy
WINNER OF THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND SCHRODERS 2024 BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD In November of 2022, a webpage was posted online with a simple text box. It was an AI chatbot called ChatGPT, and was unlike any app people had used before. It was more human than a customer service agent, more convenient than a Google search. Behind the scenes, battles for control and prestige between the world's two leading AI firms, OpenAI and DeepMind, who now steers Google's AI efforts, has remained elusive - until now. In Supremacy, Olson, tech writer at Bloomberg, tells the astonishing story of the battle between these two AI firms, their struggles to use their tech for good, and the hazardous direction they could go as they serve two tech Goliaths whose power is unprecedented in history. The story focuses on the continuing rivalry of two key CEOs at the center of it all, who cultivated a religion around their mission to build god-like super intelligent machines: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind. Supremacy sharply alerts readers to the real threat of artificial intelligence that its top creators are ignoring: the profit-driven spread of flawed and biased technology into industries, education, media and more. With exclusive access to a network of high-ranking sources, Parmy Olson uses her 13 years of experience covering technology to bring to light the exploitation of the greatest invention in human history, and how it will impact us all.
Resourcefulness
What if the greatest advantage in life isn't wealth, talent, IQ, or technology - but resourcefulness?In Resourcefulness, Rosa L. Antonini explores why the ability to adapt, respond, and create in uncertainty is the one form of power that never disappears. Just like internal systems and mental code, resourcefulness can be strengthened or depleted - shaped by clarity, self-awareness, and intentional action, or quietly eroded by fear, distraction, and inherited patterns. Blending systems thinking with lived experience, Rosa guides readers through practical insights to recognize limiting beliefs, reclaim personal agency, and reconnect with their inner navigation system. From examining identity patterns to learning how to respond when life doesn't go according to plan, each chapter offers grounded perspectives for navigating change with clarity and purpose. Interwoven with personal stories and reflective moments on loss, transition, and growth, Resourcefulness shows that strength comes from rising through hardship, not avoiding it.

Empowering Employee Engagement
Employee engagement is in crisis. Recent research shows that only a fraction of employees are engaged and feel genuinely connected to their work, while high levels of disengagement quietly drain productivity, innovation, and morale. Empowering Employee Engagement confronts this problem head-on, revealing that engagement isn't a perk or a program--it's a shared responsibility. This book explores the concept and measurement of the multidimensional nature of engagement--shaped by the company, leaders, teams, individual work, and customers. Drawing on global research and real-world examples, it shows how culture, trust, purpose, and growth opportunities intersect to determine whether employees thrive or withdraw.Most importantly, the book redefines engagement as an individual choice, a team effort, and a leadership responsibility. Leaders must build conditions of mutual respect, recognition, and empowerment where people and teams want--and choose--to be engaged. Yet every employee also holds the key to their own engagement, choosing to bring passion, accountability, collaboration, and transformation to their work.In a world of remote and hybrid work, quiet quitting, and AI-driven change, Empowering Employee Engagement offers a practical roadmap for individuals, leaders, and teams to reignite commitment, rebuild trust, and create workplaces globally where people choose to care--and perform--at their best for themselves, their company, and their customers.
