Pursued Economy: Understanding and Overcoming the Challenging New Realities for Advanced Economies
by Richard C. KooIn Pursued Economy: Understanding and Overcoming the Challenging New Realities for Advanced Economies, celebrated economist and thought leader Richard C. Koo dives deep into the failure of traditional economic solutions to address the economic and social problems of post-Great Recession and post-pandemic economies. Starting with the original concepts of balance sheet recessions and global competition for capital, the author explains why the Great Recession lasted for so long and why well-intentioned policies that worked so well in the past are no longer working today. Readers will discover that advanced economies moved from what the author calls the "golden era" to the "pursued era" of economic development long ago, but the policy debate in these countries continues to be informed by golden era assumptions that are no longer relevant but are still taught in universities. That mismatch has led to an over-reliance on monetary policy and an under-reliance on fiscal policy that are distorting economies and worsening inequality in a profoundly transformed world. With many real-world examples from the author's extensive involvement in the policy debate on economic, banking and trade issues in several countries, including the U.S., the book describes the correct policy mix in the pursued era as distinct from that in the golden era. It also explains the challenges central banks face in fighting inflation after a decade of over-reliance on monetary policy that flooded the world&’s economies with unprecedented liquidity. Instead of simply assuming the existence of "trend growth rates", this book tackles the issue of economic growth head-on so as to elucidate the symmetry between the drivers of growth and the drivers of recession. It also argues that the fundamental disconnect between free trade and free capital movements must be addressed in order to maximize the gains from globalization while minimizing its costs. Written in simple language and with a great sense of urgency, Pursued Economy should be of interest to anyone who is concerned about the global economy, financial stability and geopolitics.

Pursuing Authentic Leadership Development
by Bruce J. AvolioThis chapter raises a critical question in the science and practice of leadership: As our population rapidly expands, how can we speed the development of the kind of leadership we will need to promote a sustainable world? Especially in the wake of the global economic crisis (and the accompanying fall from grace of high-ranking leaders in both business and government), the need for "authentic" leaders-those who are both morally unimpeachable and intent on empowering those they lead-has gained traction. The author of this chapter, an expert on authentic and transformational leadership, surveys the research and intellectual history that has led to what he believes is the next challenging frontier for both the science and the practice of leadership-defining what constitutes authentic leadership development. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 25 of "Handbook of Leadership Theory and Practice: A Harvard Business School Centennial Colloquium."
Pursuing Excellence in Healthcare: Preserving America's Academic Medical Centers

Pursuing Excellence: A Values-Based, Systems Approach to Help Companies Become More Resilient
by Brian StrobelOur companies must start to do things differently. "While many of the ‘20 Bad Habits’ are likely present in companies trying to move up from average, surely habit No 13, ‘Clinging to the Past,’ is one of the larger detractors keeping many of them from moving closer to excellence." — Marshall Goldsmith #1 Leadership Thinker and best-selling author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There This book is for the people who lead our companies. Our world suffered a staggering blow. We will recover. Many of our companies are still suffering. Some of them will not recover. We’re in a time of disruption. A company’s culture will play a big part in managing through this disruption. Senior leaders must establish a clear purpose, a strong set of core values, and a plan to translate strategy into action. Companies will be seeking to transform, to become more efficient and resilient. Most attempts to do so fail. They fail because we try to solve the wrong problem with the wrong system. We attempt to change the way people act. But to achieve sustained improvement, we must focus on changing the way they think. Over the last thirty years, we’ve experimented with Lean, Six Sigma, and other improvement initiatives. Each failed to move beyond average performance and sustain transformational improvement. Average then became a learned behavior. To move forward, we must unlearn some things. We must change our problem definition and our defined systems. And we can do this by framing the problem through the lens of Operational Excellence.
Pursuing Sustainability: A Guide to the Science and Practice
by William C. Clark Pamela Matson Krister AnderssonSustainability is a global imperative and a scientific challenge like no other. This concise guide provides students and practitioners with a strategic framework for linking knowledge with action in the pursuit of sustainable development, and serves as an invaluable companion to more narrowly focused courses dealing with sustainability in particular sectors such as energy, food, water, and housing, or in particular regions of the world.Written by leading experts, Pursuing Sustainability shows how more inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches and systems perspectives can help you achieve your sustainability objectives. It stresses the need for understanding how capital assets are linked to sustainability goals through the complex adaptive dynamics of social-environmental systems, how committed people can use governance processes to alter those dynamics, and how successful interventions can be shaped through collaborations among researchers and practitioners on the ground.The ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students and an invaluable resource for anyone working in this fast-growing field, Pursuing Sustainability also features case studies, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading.Provides a strategic framework for linking knowledge with actionDraws on the latest cutting-edge science and practicesServes as the ideal companion text to more narrowly focused coursesUtilizes interdisciplinary approaches and systems perspectivesIllustrates concepts with a core set of case studies used throughout the bookWritten by world authorities on sustainabilityAn online illustration package is available to professors
Pursuing Sustainability: OR/MS Applications in Sustainable Design, Manufacturing, Logistics, and Resource Management (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science #301)
by Vaidyanathan Jayaraman Yihsu Chen Chialin ChenThis handbook includes three parts, corresponding to the following three domains of OR/MS research related to sustainability: (i) Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology, (ii) Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation, and (iii) Sustainable Natural Resource Management. The first part of the handbook (Chapters 2-6) will focus on the creation and development of sustainable products, services, value chains, and organizations from a systems perspective. Key areas to be covered include Green Design & Innovation, Technology and Engineering Management, Sustainable Value Chain Systems, Sustainability Standards and Performance Evaluation, and Circular Economy and New Research Directions in Sustainability. The second part of the handbook (Chapters 7-11) will concentrate on the major operational and logistic issues faced by today’s industries in pursuing sustainability. Key areas to be covered include Remanufacturing, Reverse Logistics, Closed-Loop Supply Chains, Sustainable Transportation, and New Research Directions in Green Supply Chain Management. The third part of the proposed handbook (Chapters 12-16) will center on major sustainability issues in managing engineering infrastructure and natural resources. Key areas to be covered include Renewable Energy, Sustainable Water Resource, Biofuel Infrastructure, Natural Gas, and New Research Direction in Sustainable Resource Management.The handbook aims to bridge the three main OR/MS research domains in sustainability: “Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology,” “Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation,” and “Sustainable Natural Resource Management.” Traditionally, these domains are treated separately in the OR/MS literature. By combining the three domains, the handbook will provide a more holistic treatment of MS/OR methodologies to address critical sustainability issues faced by today’s society. Unlike most existing handbooks which only focus on current OR/MS research in sustainability within a domain, this handbook will include a concluding chapter in each of the three parts to discuss and identify potential future research directions in each of the three main domains.
Pursuing Sustainable Urban Development in North Korea (Routledge Research in Sustainable Planning and Development in Asia)
by Pavel P. EmThis volume employs an urban lens to provide a critical analysis of the North Korean style of sustainable urban development in the face of severe sanctions and a scarcity of vital resources.With a focus on five major areas—population, economics, architecture, urban planning, and culture—the authors examine the preconditions that led to the emergence of ideas related to urban sustainability, assess and reassess the trends in sustainable development brought about by market forces, and recommend paths for their further intensification. Since this work covers a variety of topics, ranging from geomancy and social control to economic issues and green architecture (both locally and in comparison with European post-socialist cities and South Korea), it will point to lessons that other countries could learn from.This book will be a valuable reference for scholars, researchers, students, and the general public who have a regional interest in North Korea, Korean unification, and East Asia as a whole; and/or a topical interest in urban studies, urban sustainability, and post-socialist urban transformation.
Push Back!: How to Take a Stand Against Groupthink, Bullies, Agitators, and Professional Manipulators

Pushing Cool: Big Tobacco, Racial Marketing, and the Untold Story of the Menthol Cigarette
by Keith WailooSpanning a century, Pushing Cool reveals how the twin deceptions of health and Black affinity for menthol were crafted—and how the industry’s disturbingly powerful narrative has endured to this day. Police put Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold for selling cigarettes on a New York City street corner. George Floyd was killed by police outside a store in Minneapolis known as “the best place to buy menthols.” Black smokers overwhelmingly prefer menthol brands such as Kool, Salem, and Newport. All of this is no coincidence. The disproportionate Black deaths and cries of “I can’t breathe” that ring out in our era—because of police violence, COVID-19, or menthol smoking—are intimately connected to a post-1960s history of race and exploitation. In Pushing Cool, Keith Wailoo tells the intricate and poignant story of menthol cigarettes for the first time. He pulls back the curtain to reveal the hidden persuaders who shaped menthol buying habits and racial markets across America: the world of tobacco marketers, consultants, psychologists, and social scientists, as well as Black lawmakers and civic groups including the NAACP. Today most Black smokers buy menthols, and calls to prohibit their circulation hinge on a history of the industry’s targeted racial marketing. In 2009, when Congress banned flavored cigarettes as criminal enticements to encourage youth smoking, menthol cigarettes were also slated to be banned. Through a detailed study of internal tobacco industry documents, Wailoo exposes why they weren’t and how they remain so popular with Black smokers.

Pushing Our Understanding Of Diversity In Organizations: A Volume in Research in Social Issues in Management
by Michelle R. Hebl Eden King Quinetta M. RobersonFew time periods in the past five decades match the intensity of intergroup conflict that people around the world are currently experiencing. Polarized attitudes around various sociopolitical issues, such as gender equality and immigration, have dominated the media and our lives. Furthermore, these powerful social dynamics have also impacted the places where we work and intensified existing strains on workers and workplaces. To address these issues and improve organizational climates, more theories, research and collaborations to understand these phenomena are needed. The volumes in this series will describe and instigate scholarship that advances our understanding of diversity in organizations. <P><P> This volume features renowned scholars who are unabashedly pushing the field by raising the questions that need to be asked, by working on topics that have received far too little research attention, and by holding researchers, practitioners, managers, organizations, and readers to task for doing what needs to be done to maximize social justice and egalitarian behaviors in the workplace. The chapters provoke the status quo in society and in scholarship, and in so doing, push our understanding of diversity in organizations.

Put Customers to Work: Determining the Right Level of Customer Engagement
by James L. Heskett Joe Wheeler W. Earl Sasser Jr.Fully engaged customers are potential owners who can help customize the aspects of value that mean the most to them. Most self-selecting customer owners prefer the control that goes with greater input into the process. Many gain a great deal of satisfaction from this work, but to maximize customer engagement, you need to consider several important questions: What kind of work is most appropriate for customers? Why do they choose to work for (or against) a brand? How should you design and manage their jobs? What limits do they place on their participation? What do they expect in return? And what can go wrong with schemes to involve customers?
Put It Behind You: How to Let Go of Your Past and Free Yourself to Pursue Your Goals
by Thomas J. DelongDo you have painful memories from your career that still haunt you? Maybe your first boss denied you a promotion you felt you deserved, or you were seduced by a persuasive manager into staying in an unrewarding job, or your organization never came through on promises made to you. Especially for successful, high-need-for-achievement professionals, unpleasant memories can exert a stranglehold on future growth. In this chapter, organizational behavior expert Thomas DeLong shows that speaking the truth about these experiences to a trusted confidant is a highly productive reality check. He uses striking personal and business examples--including a technique one management trainer used, in which groups of professionals literally raised their arms and "threw" their past experiences behind them--to drive home the importance of freeing yourself from the negative impact of remembered failures. The chapter not only gives you new ways to interpret beliefs or events from your past--it inspires you to embrace your own success in a new and more rewarding future. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 10 of "Flying Without a Net: Turn Fear of Change into Fuel for Success."

Put Strategy, Not People, First: An Introduction to Differentiated Workforce Strategy
by Richard W. Beatty Brian E. Becker Mark A. HuselidSenior managers and readers of popular business literature are probably familiar with the mantra that people are the new source of competitive advantage. But despite all the talk about a new strategic emphasis on the workforce, most companies haven't yet capitalized on the opportunity for strategic success that effective workforce management can provide. The authors believe that a fundamental change in the entire approach to workforce strategy is needed. In this chapter, they describe a new approach--called differentiated workforce strategy--and outline why differentiation is essential to strategic success. This chapter was originally published as chapter 1 of "The Differentiated Workforce: Transforming Talent into Strategic Impact."
