The papers in this volume form a record of the 1993 Parliament of
the World's Religions, which was one of the largest interfaith
gatherings ever held. Representatives from minority, ethnic and
tribal religions took the podium as equals alongside
representatives from the world's largest religious traditions. This
volume contains major addresses and reflections of this parliament,
set in context by an introduction and conclusion by the editors.
Develops scenario planning methods in ways that link scenario
analysis to improved decision making, engage time-poor senior
decision makers, attenuate decision makers' tendency to deflect
responsibility for bleak, negative scenario outcomes, and enhance
causal analysis within scenario-storyline development. What if? Two
of the most powerful - and frightening - words in business. Almost
as bad as "I didn't see that coming." Some things that transform
the marketplace overnight come from nowhere. Some things that
create potentially critical under-performance are genuinely
unforeseeable. Sometimes it is impossible to predict how a change
in an organizational strategy will play out. Some things and
sometimes - but not many and not often. Decision makers in
organizations face more-and-more complex and ambiguous problems
that need to be addressed under time pressure - and the need for
practical decision support has become essential. The range of
methods in this book will enable you to be prepared, proactive and
resilient no matter what the future brings. Based on up-to-date
academic research and years of application and iteration in the
real world, this book, illustrated with examples of the value
delivered in Europe, Australia and the Middle East, will transfer
practical skills in scenario thinking using step-by-step
instructions. This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition
introduces these new approaches in detail, with clear guidelines
and examples to enable the reader to select and implement the most
appropriate scenario method to suit the issue at hand - considering
the timeframe for its investigation, the resources available and
the outcomes expected.
The Second Edition of International Business includes recent
impacts on international business such as the financial crisis,
Brexit and the changing political landscape, Chinese steel prices
and the Panama Papers revelations. It includes two new chapters on
understanding people and organizations in International Business as
well as coverage of recent international reports from Amnesty,
Oxfam and the World Bank. Conceived by Chris Grey as an antidote to
conventional textbooks, each book in the 'Very Short, Fairly
Interesting and Reasonably Cheap' series takes a core area of the
curriculum and turns it on its head by providing a critical and
sophisticated overview of the key issues and debates in an
informal, conversational and often humorous way. Suitable for
students of International Business, professionals working in global
organizations and anyone curious about the workings of the
international business world.
