Nachhaltigkeitsökonomik: Eine Einführung
by Peter BartelmusDas Buch führt ein in das zunehmend wichtige Feld der ökonomischen Nachhaltigkeit und verbindet verschiedene Disziplinen: Umweltwissenschaft, Umweltökonomie und Wirtschaftsökonomie sowie Wachstumstheorien.

Das Buch schließt eine Lücke zwischen den Disziplinen und wird damit zum wichtigsten Ratgeber derzeit, um die aktuellen Konzepte zu verstehen und anzuwenden. Als Lehrbuch konzipiert, ist es auch für gesellschaftlich Interessierte geschrieben. Zahlreiche, eigen erstellte Illustrationen visualisieren die Ausführungen.

Nadie supo nada
by Jorge Fernández MenéndezUn empresario legendario. Un asesinato que sigue impune. Cuarenta y seis años de dudas y una herida que sigue abierta en la sociedad mexicana. El 17 de septiembre de 1973 fue asesinado en Monterrey Eugenio Garza Sada, presidente del Consorcio Industrial Cervecería, corazón del llamado grupo Monterrey, sin duda el empresario más importante de su generación. Desde entonces hasta hoy no ha existido una versión oficial convincente sobre lo ocurrido aquel día. Por esta razón, entre otras, esa herida sigue abierta. La muerte de Garza Sada es uno de los capítulos más oscuros de nuestra historia, en el que se engarzan desde la aventura política de grupos armados radicales hasta especulaciones políticas del poder para restarle espacio a la iniciativa privada regiomontana, que había crecido con principios ideológicos diferentes de los del centro del país. Desde un año y medio antes del homicidio, la entonces Dirección Federal de Seguridad tenía conocimiento de quiénes integraban el comando que planeaba el secuestro de Garza Sada para obtener cinco millones de pesos y la liberación de un grupo de presos políticos. Los documentos que sustentan este libro confirman que el gobierno de Luis Echeverría sabía que se cometería el secuestro de Garza Sada. En esta edición, ampliada y actualizada, logra entenderse por qué el homicidio de Garza Sada sigue doliendo hoy día: por qué importa tento y qué pierde el país al mantener impunes crímenes así.

Nail It Then Scale It: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Creating and Managing Breakthrough Innovation
by Nathan Furr Paul AhlstromNail It Then Scale It is the first lean startup book to help entrepreneurs through the process of launching a high-growth company. The book includes not just high-level principles, but a distilled, step by step guide of key actions successful entrepreneurs take to reduce risk and increase success. NISI answers key questions including: Why do most new businesses fail? What first steps do successful serial entrepreneurs take? What are the most common failure traps and how can I avoid them? Based on years of research and observation, Furr and Ahlstrom conclude that startups often fail by doing the "right things," but doing them out of order. In other words, human nature combined with entrepreneurial drive puts the entrepreneur on autopilot to become part of the 70% to 90% of ventures that fail. From Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs, the Nail It Then Scale It method is based on pattern recognition of the timeless principles and key practices used by successful entrepreneurs to repeatedly innovate. These processes and principles have now been distilled into a handbook to guide entrepreneurs step by step to victory. Stop following conventional wisdom and join the few entrepreneurs that consistently take their innovative ideas all the way to a successful product and company launch.

Naked Conversations: How Blogs Are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers
by Robert Scoble Shel IsraelScoble and coauthor Israel argue that every business can benefit from smart "naked" blogging, whether the company's a small town plumbing operation or a multinational fashion house. "If you ignore the blogosphere... you won't know what people are saying about you," they write. "You can't learn from them, and they won't come to see you as a sincere human who cares about your business and its reputation." To bolster their argument, Scoble and Israel have assembled an enormous amount of information about blogging: from history and theory to comparisons among countries and industries. They also lay out the dos and don'ts of the medium and include extensive statistics, dozens of case studies and several interviews with famous bloggers.
