Den fjerde industrielle revolution er mere betydningsfuld og mere omfattende end noget, menneskeheden før har været vidne til. Nye teknologier forener de fysiske, digitale og biologiske verdener og resulterer i kunstig intelligens, 3D-printning, DNA-sekvensering og bærbar teknologi indbygget i tøj eller gadgets. Disse teknologier er først og fremmest designet til at forbedre vores liv, men med dette væld af muligheder kommer også udfordringer og potentielle risikoelementer. Det tvinger os til at genoverveje, hvordan vi bruger teknologien og endda, hvad det betyder at være et menneske.Schwab forsøger med denne bog at skitsere, hvordan vi i fællesskab kan forme denne revolution, så vi skaber en fremtid, hvor innovation og teknologi tjener folket og gavner os alle sammen.

'Brilliant and timely' - Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand WeeksFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and one of the world's top productivity experts, a groundbreaking philosophy for creating great work at a sustainable pace. Hustle culture. Burnout. Quiet quitting. Today we're either sacrificing ourselves on the altar of success or we're rejecting the idea of ambition entirely. But it doesn't have to be all or nothing. There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it's called 'slow productivity'. Coined by Cal Newport, the bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, slow productivity is a revolutionary philosophy based on three simple principles:1. Do fewer things. 2. Work at a natural pace. 3. Obsess over quality. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists and scholars who worked in this way, Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work. From managing your energy according to the season, to identifying which projects to pursue and which to set aside, to building a schedule that yields maximum output with minimum stress, this timely and essential book will revolutionise how you work, helping you to accomplish great things at a more humane pace.

Danmarks førende ekspert i 4-dagesarbejdsugen giver i bogen her en række overbe­visende eksempler på, at vi i stedet bør stile efter ‘back to better’.Hos Produktionsselskabet Metronome og advokatfirmaet Molt Wengel er medarbejderne gået ned i arbejdstid uden at gå ned i løn.

Hos onlinebureauet Abtion og i en del af arkitektvirksomheden Arkitema har man valgt en 4-dages arbejdsuge på kun 32 timer pr. uge. Igen med overbevisende resultater. I ngo’en Hjerteforeningen arbejder man stadig fem dage om ugen, til gengæld er arbejdssted og arbejds­tid sat fuldstændig fri – og trivslen er eksploderet.De seks virksomheder er del af en lang række cases i Brænd hamsterhjulet. Tilsammen viser de, at fleksibilteten og den lavere arbejdstid giver øget arbejdsglæde, mindre sygefravær og øget produktion. Hertil kommer mere loyale medarbejdere. Altså en ren win-win-situation for både virksomhed, ledelse og medarbejdere. Og der er snart ikke flere argumenter for at lade være!Afhængigt af om man vælger at gennemføre de nødvendige små eller har mod på de store ændringer i udformningen af fremtidens arbejdsliv, understreger Pernille Garde Abildgaard, at man altid skal være ydmyg over for forandringer.

WHAT IF LIFE WASNT ABOUT DECADES OF WAGE-SLAVERY, PAYING BILLS, AND THEN DYING?Today's contemporary slavery is an implied social contract whereas a gilded cage is exchanged for voluntary indebtedness and lifelong toil, a price sacrificed by a non-redeemable fifty-years of Monday through Friday, a willful servitude in which freedom is only promised by the dawn of lifes fading twilight.' ~ MJ DeMarco HAS AN INVISIBLE SCRIPT HIJACKED YOUR LIFE?UNLOCK YOUR TRUTH.

'Making money is a knack, a knack that can be acquired. And if someone like me can become rich, then so can you - no matter what your present circumstances. Here is how I did it and what I learned along the way.' So writes Felix Dennis, who believes that almost anyone of reasonable intelligence can become rich, given sufficient motivation and application. How To Get Rich is a distillation of his business wisdom. Primarily concerned with the step-by-step creation of wealth, it ruthlessly dissects the business failures and financial triumphs of 'a South London lad who became rich virtually by accident'. Part manual, part memoir, part primer, this book is a template for those who are willing to stare down failure and transform their lives.Canny, infuriating, cynical and generous by turns, How To Get Rich is an invaluable guide to 'the surprisingly simple art of collecting money which already has your name on it'.

Bogen præsenterer læseren bredt for fænomenet entreprenørskab. Den sætter fokus på muligheders tilblivelse, evaluering og organisering. Muligheder som kan resultere i nye og selvstændige organisationer eller kan lede til nye projekter og forretningsområder inden for eksisterende virksomheder og i andre organisatoriske kontekster.Teorier om entreprenørskab er fyldt med spændinger og dilemmaer. De præsenteres i bogen som en samling af paradokser. Dette udfordrer forståelsen af entreprenørskab og giver læseren indblik i teoriernes spændingsfyldte natur. Samtidig afspejler paradokserne den usikkerhed og kompleksitet, entreprenører møder i deres hverdag. Læseren udfordres via bogen til at være kritisk og tage stilling til mange af de ofte gådefulde og dilemmafyldte situationer, entreprenører kommer i på deres vej.Hvert kapitel indledes med en konkret entreprenøriel fortælling, som giver appetit på kapitlets emne og det paradoks, der behandles i kapitlet. Læseren møder “virkelighedens entreprenører” på en meget konkret måde. Først herefter inddrages teorier og begreber om entreprenørskab. Hvert kapitel afsluttes med en dobbelt fortolkning af fortællingen, som afspejler paradoksets to sider. Undervejs i kapitlerne stilles en række opgaver, hvor den studerende skal afprøve teori og forholde sig til konkrete problemstillinger, og nogle af disse opgaver løses ved hjælp af e-værktøjer.Bogen har en introducerende karakter. Den kræver ingen specielle forkundskaber, kan bruges af alle studieretninger ved de videregående uddannelser og henvender sig bredt til alle studerende: både dem, der har et ønske om at starte egen virksomhed – eller allerede driver egen virksomhed i studietiden, og dem, som mere generelt ønsker at udvikle en entreprenøriel tankegang og relevante entreprenørielle kompetencer til brug i deres fremtidige karriere.

______________________________NEARLY THIRTY YEARS AGO, Stanford University faculty members Jim Collins and Bill Lazier showed you how to turn an entrepreneurial business into an enduring great company.Beyond Entrepreneurship became a leadership staple, particularly among small and early-stage companies. And while Collins would go on to write a series of famous bestsellers that have sold more than ten million copies worldwide, this lesser-known early work remains the favourite of many of his loyal readers.Now, with Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, Collins re-shares the timeless insights in Beyond Entrepreneurship alongside new perspectives gleaned after decades of additional research into what makes great companies tick. In Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, you'll learn how to turn your company into the 2.0 version of itself. You'll be challenged to grow your own leadership as your company grows, from 1x to 2x to 5x to 10x. You'll learn Collins's newest reflections on people decisions, insights that extend beyond his seminal "first who" principle about getting the right people on the bus. You'll learn why luck favours the persistent, and what it means to look for "who luck." You'll learn about the origins of the "BHAG" (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), and why even a small business needs a galvanising BHAG to have a complete and inspiring vision. You'll also unlock what Collins calls "The Map." The Map is a road map that pulls together the key concepts developed from thirty years of research and writing into one integrated framework for building a company that delivers superior results, makes a distinctive impact, and achieves lasting endurance.Finally, you'll learn the lessons that Jim Collins himself learned from the most influential mentor in his life, Bill Lazier. Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0 is the ambitious upgrade to a classic. In Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, you'll discover that the goal to turn your business into an enduring great company is as relevant - and as within your reach - as ever.

The Law of Market Failure: Most new products will fail in the market, even if competently executed.Using his experience at Google, his remarkable success as an entrepreneur and consultant, and insights from his lectures at Stanford University and Google, Alberto Savoia's The Right It offers an unparalleled approach to beating the beast that is market failure.Millions of people around the world are working hard to bring to life new ideas. Some of these ideas will turn out to be stunning successes that will have a major impact on our world and our culture: The next Google, the next Polio vaccine, the next Harry Potter, the next Red Cross, the next Ford Mustang. Others will be smaller, more personal but no less meaningful, successes: A little restaurant that becomes a neighborhood favorite, a biography that does not make the best-seller list but tells an important story, a local nonprofit to care for abandoned pets. At this very same moment, another group of people is working equally hard to develop new ideas that, when launched, will fail. Some of them will fail spectacularly and publicly: like New Coke, the movie ?John Carter?, or the Ford Edsel. Others will be smaller, more private, but no less painful failures: A home-based business that never takes off, a children's book that neither publishers nor children have any interest in, a charity for a cause that too few people care enough about. If you are currently working to develop a new idea, whether on your own or as part of a team, which group are you in? Most people believe that they either are, or will be, in the first group?the group whose ideas will be successful. All they have to do is work hard and execute well. Unfortunately, we know that this cannot be the case. The law of market failure tells us that up to 90 percent of most new products, services, businesses, and initiatives will fail soon after they are launched?regardless of how promising they sound, how much we commit to them, or how well we execute them. This is a hard fact to accept. We believe that other people fail because they don't know what they are doing. Somehow, we believe that this does not apply to us and to our idea?especially if we've experienced victories in the past.Filled with detailed case studies, a lesson on creating your own hard data, a strategy for market engagement, and an introduction to the concept of a pretotype (not a prototype), The Right It is a groundbreaking, entertaining, and highly practical book delivers a proven formula for turning ideas, products, services, and businesses into successful endeavors. As Alberto writes, ?make sure you are building The Right It before you build It right?.
