Winning by Being Good
For over thirty years, Sarah Brown has been studying and working with businesses, charities, social enterprises, and the public sector to help and inspire them to achieve greater success.Her book, Winning by Being Good, compiles the lessons she has learned from working with organisations from start-ups to multinationals. This book aims to help anyone looking to start or improve any kind of organisation to achieve both greater success and make a positive impact on the world.The book is both practical and entertaining, serving as a manual that outlines the 15 Essential Pillars of Success, collectively known as the ROC(c) (Responsible Organisation Charter). The ROC(c) lays the groundwork for success in the 21st century, whether you run a business, charity, or social enterprise.The book demonstrates that making profits is easier if the organisation is Good across all aspects of its operations - not just in the corporate social responsibility department. This encompasses everything from investing in employees, addressing crucial issues for customers and in supply chains, engaging with the broader community and using fewer of the planet's resources. It also involves creating sustainable profits, fostering innovation, and establishing a clear vision and values that guide behaviours.In addition to providing inspirational examples of world-changing organisations, the book includes challenging questions and stories as parables to bring key areas such as strategy development to life. Throughout the book, readers can assess their organisation in each area and identify how they can get better.Sarah has leveraged her extensive experience from working in over 100 different sectors to develop the ROC(c) framework providing the roadmap for readers to build a Good organisation that drives exceptional performance, financial success and creates a meaningful impact.

Asian Development Outlook (ADO) April 2025
Forecasts finalized before the announcement of new tariffs by the US administration on 2 April indicate that growth in Asia and the Pacific will slightly moderate this year and next.Weak consumption in the People's Republic of China will partly offset robust domestic demand in South Asia. Disinflation is expected to continue, driven by lower food and energy prices, along with the lagged effects of previous monetary policy tightening. The region's high-income technology exporters remain a bright spot, benefiting from strong global demand for electronics. However, rising trade uncertainty and escalating tariffs have created headwinds, weighing on financial markets and investor confidence. The region must navigate these challenges to sustain its economic momentum.

Rural Demand Responsive Transport
This book analyzes the transport situation in so-called low-demand areas, i.e., rural areas where traditional public transport is often poor and inefficient. Though rural transport has largely been neglected in the literature in favor of more urbanized contexts, it is often the only mobility option for the many citizens who still live in these areas. This book aims to fill the gap in the literature by providing further insights into rural transport research, in particular by presenting a valid solution: Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). This widespread technology allows public transport authorities to make their journeys more efficient by maximizing the load factor of vehicles, while helping citizens meet their mobility needs. The book addresses key research questions concerning the strengths and weaknesses of deploying Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) in rural areas; mayors' perceptions regarding the transport characteristics of their regions; and the evaluation of a DRT pilot project. These aspects are explored through a case study of DRT implementation in two rural areas near the Ligurian cities of Chiavari and Genoa.
