This book explores the factors that make digital disruption
possible and the effects this has on existing business models. It
takes a look at the industries that are most susceptible to
disruption and highlights what executives can do to take advantage
of disruption to re-invent their business model. It also examines
the pivotal role that technology plays in creating new dynamics to
business operations and forcing business model changes. Adoption of
digital technology has caused process disruptions in a number of
industries and led to new business models (e.g., UEber, AirBnb) and
new products. In addition to covering some of the more popular and
well known examples, this book targets not so obvious disruptions
in the education sector and in services and changing business
models. Phantom Ex Machina: Digital Disruption's Role in Business
Model Transformation is divided into six parts. The book begins
with an introduction to digital disruption and why it matters. The
next part of the book focuses on business strategy which includes
case studies on the impact of social media and how digital
disruption changes pricing strategies and price models. For part
three, the authors observe technology's role in digital
disruptions. Chapters cover how 3D printing is challenging existing
business models and how the automotive industry is innovating with
new perspectives. Part four covers higher education, recognizing
digital disruption's transformation in graduate management
education. Part five centers upon the service industry with a look
at virtual teams and the emergence of virtual think tanks. Finally
the book concludes with a look to the future, embracing
disruptions.

Why Spy? is the result of Brian Stewart's seventy years of working
in, and studying the uses and abuses of, intelligence in the real
world. Few books currently available to those involved either as
professionals or students in this area have been written by someone
like the present author, who has practical experience both of field
work and of the intelligence bureaucracy at home and abroad. It
relates successes and failures via case studies, and draws
conclusions that should be pondered by all those concerned with the
limitations and usefulness of the intelligence product, as well as
with how to avoid the tendency to abuse or ignore it when its
conclusions do not fit with preconceived ideas. It reminds the
reader of the multiplicity of methods and organisations and the
wide range of talents making up the intelligence world.The
co-author, scholar Samantha Newbery, examines such current issues
as the growth of intelligence studies in universities, and the
general emphasis throughout the volume is on the necessity of
embracing a range of sources, including police, political, military
and overt, to ensure that secret intelligence is placed in as wide
a context as possible when decisions are made.

second hand for very high prices.
The World We're From is possibly the world's most coveted poetry. A
new style and a voice for future generations to make reference to.
Inspired by my life, struggles, conflicts, fantasies, and
realities. Through poetry I want to connect with someone with
different views on issues that we have in common, guide someone
into a world beyond their own, and spark conversation and debates
for years to come.
