The East India Company was the largest commercial enterprise in British history, yet its roots in Tudor England are often overlooked. The Tudor revolution in commerce led ambitious merchants to search for new forms of investment, not least in risky overseas enterprises-and for these "adventurers" the most profitable bet of all would be on the Company. Through a host of stories and fascinating details, David Howarth brings to life the Company's way of doing business-from the leaky ships and petty seafarers of its embattled early days to later sweeping commercial success. While the Company's efforts met with disappointment in Japan, they sowed the seeds of success in India, setting the outline for what would later become the Raj. Drawing on an abundance of sources, Howarth shows how competition from European powers was vital to success-and considers whether the Company was truly "English" at all, or rather part of a Europe-wide movement

"L'affaire de la Compagnie des Indes La liquidation de la Compagnie des Indes en France est à la base d'un scandale politico-financier de 1793 qui impliqua plusieurs députés, et certains membres éminents du Comité de Sureté générale, comme Chabot, Fabre d'Églantine, Delaunay, Basire). Opération de spéculation, corruption, abus de biens sociaux, faux et usage de faux, délits d'initiés et abus de pouvoir... Ces qualificatifs si contemporains concernent en fait ce premier scandale politico-financier de la Ire République. L'affaire de la Compagnie des Indes fut présentée comme devant financer des activités contre-révolutionnaires et ses protagonistes, le plus souvent dantonistes, furent démasqués, jugés et exécutés pour la plupart d'entre eux avec Danton en Germinal de l'An II de la république. Préface de Alcide Carton, président de l'Association Les Amis de Robespierre."--Page 4 of cover.

This book examines how increasing Africa-China relations in the fields of trade, development finance and investment have impacted productive capacities and structural economic transformation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The book argues that statistical and empirical evidence shows that China's influence has not substantially altered the fundamentals in Africa, and instead outlines a framework of policy conclusions and recommendations to help achieve transformational growth and development. Despite increased Chinese investments in transport, energy, communications, and manufacturing, sub-Saharan Africa is yet to see tangible economic and development benefits according to the multidimensional Productive Capacities Index (PCI). External trade is dogged by the same problems as during the colonial era, with primary commodities dominating exports to China, and industrial or manufacturing products dominating imports, thereby leaving the region exposed to external economic shocks. The book considers whether there are lessons to be learned from the experience of Asian countries such as Vietnam, proposing pragmatic, coordinated, non-ideological, and non-confrontational policy approaches to development. This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, advisors, academics, and practitioners with an interest in development in Africa, and China's increasing role in the continent.

"Soft skills are more important than ever, in the new hybrid workplace, where we all must communicate, cooperate, and collaborate with an ever-wider range of people -- whether remotely or in person. At the same time, there is a growing soft-skills gap throughout the workforce, and not just among the new young workforce, but also among people of all ages. In this second edition of Bridging the Soft Skills Gap, Tulgan recognizes the three key behaviors needed to find success in a workforce of non-conformists. The old-fashioned soft skills needed by our newest and youngest workers have been tracked by Tulgan since 1993, and now in a post-pandemic world of remote work, these skills have an even greater impact on the success of an organization. With 25% more content, Tulgan provides a research-based approach to close the soft skills gap among the newest generation of workers"-- Provided by publisher

Despite their companies' pledges to support social justice initiatives and racial and gender equity in recent years, many business leaders are now balking at the label "woke" -- a term that has become a political weapon. But the authors assert that addressing inequality and injustice in the workplace and beyond is something leaders must do. They call for leaders to continue to work toward racial and gender inequity and to be conscious of their role in effecting change.

"In the last two years, consumers have experienced massive changes in consumption - whether due to shifts in habits; the changing information landscape; challenges to their identity, or new economic experiences of scarcity or abundance. What can we expect from these experiences? How are the world's leading thinkers applying both foundational knowledge and novel insights as we seek to understand consumer psychology in a constantly changing landscape? And how can informed readers both contribute to and evaluate our knowledge? This handbook offers a critical overview of both fundamental topics in consumer psychology and those that are of prominence in the contemporary marketplace, beginning with an examination of individual psychology and broadening to topics related to wider cultural and marketplace systems. The Cambridge Handbook of Consumer Psychology, 2nd edition, will act as a valuable guide for teachers and graduate and undergraduate students in psychology, marketing, management, economics, sociology, and anthropology"-- Provided by publisher.

From healthcare facilities to call centers, fulfillment centers to factories, and restaurants to retail stores, companies are struggling to find or keep workers, because the jobs they offer are low-paying, stressful, and provide little chance for growth and success. Workers want good jobs, and many leaders want to provide them. But they don't think they can offer higher pay and more motivating work without hurting the bottom line. Most business leaders want to win with customers, but their companies are hobbled by a host of service and operational problems largely driven by high employee turnover-turnover that's partly driven by low pay. It is indeed a vicious cycle, and Zeynep Ton is here to show you the way out: why good jobs combined with strong operations lead to higher productivity and increased competitiveness for the business. As the leading scholar on good jobs and president of the Good Jobs Institute, Ton has helped executives at many companies implement a good jobs system. With expertise drawn from spending time on the front lines with workers and their managers, she knows what's keeping most companies mired in mediocrity and how implementing a good jobs system makes them more competitive, more resilient, and more likely to attract and retain loyal customers and dedicated employees
