There is only one Arsène Wenger - and for the very first time, in his own words, this is his story.
In this definitive autobiography, the world-renowned, revolutionary football manager discusses his life and career, sharing his leadership principles for success on and off the field. At Arsenal, Wenger won multiple Premier League titles, a record number of FA Cups, and masterminded the historic 'Invincibles' season of 2003-2004. He changed the game in England forever, popularising an attacking approach and changing attitudes towards nutrition, fitness and coaching methods - and towards foreign managers. The book charts his extraordinary career, from his rise in France and Japan where he managed Nancy, Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight - clubs that also play in red-and-white - to his twenty-two years at the helm in north London.
A must-read not only for Arsenal supporters but football fans everywhere, MY LIFE IN RED AND WHITE illuminates the mystique surrounding one of the most respected managers in the world's most popular sport.
Change is an inevitable aspect of human life. As time goes by,
certain processes and ways of doing things become inadequate. When
it comes to economic systems, there is a need to review current
models and revise them to meet new global demands in both developed
and developing nations. Emerging Economic Models for Global
Sustainability and Social Development is an essential reference
source that discusses economic, political, and social environments
in the modern age, as well as economic development in an era of
global hyper-competition, dwindling natural resources, and a
growing global skills gap. Featuring research on topics such as
monetary policy, economic theory, and rural poverty, this book is
ideally designed for business managers, policymakers, government
officials, researchers, academicians, and upper-level students
seeking coverage on theoretical and empirical models in economic
behavior.
Emerging technologies continue to affect a variety of industries,
making processes more effective and efficient. However, they also
impact society by promoting opportunities to encourage social
change and socioeconomic advancement. Blockchain is one that is
already influencing third world countries and disrupting the globe.
Blockchain Technology for Global Social Change is an essential
research publication that provides insight into advancements being
made in blockchain and some potential applications of the
technology that can improve the lives of individuals in emerging
markets. This publication covers a range of topics such as digital
government, health systems, and urbanization and is ideal for
policymakers, academicians, researchers, sociologists, government
officials, economists, and financial experts seeking current and
relevant research on evolving blockchain technologies.
Based on extensive research and real-world examples, Pattern Breakers
upends accepted wisdom about how to achieve breakthrough success, and
provides a playbook for anyone launching a startup or creating a new
product.
Pattern Breakers had its roots in the time when Mike Maples, a seasoned
venture capitalist, was stumped, unable to get a grip on why some
businesses he funded ― X (formerly Twitter), Twitch, and Okta, for
example ― took off, while others, some deemed “most likely to succeed,”
shut their doors despite doing everything right. Was it dumb luck that
separated gold from dross?
What Maples and Stanford University’s Peter Ziebelman discovered
contradicts accepted wisdom and upends today’s formulaic approach to
entrepreneurship. They learned that pattern-breaking ideas radically
change the traditional rules, and are driven by people with the
independent-mindedness and courage to divert from the consensus.
With intriguing and entertaining storytelling based on a lifetime of
experience, Pattern Breakers vividly illustrates what differentiates
breakthrough ideas from those that initially seem promising but that
meet with mediocre results, and why others that initially seem unworthy
― and even idiotic ― end up radically changing how people live.
