Reinventing the State: Economic Strategy and Institutional Change in Peru
by Carol WiseThe political economic history of Latin America in the post-World War II era has largely been one of underachievement and opportunities lost. This all changed with the wave of market reforms that were implemented in the 1990s. However, the precise role of these reforms as an agent of change is still hotly debated. This in-depth analysis of the Peruvian case argues for an explanation that treats institutional innovation and state reconstruction as necessary conditions for the apparent success of the market in Latin America. Exploring how state intervention has been both the cause of Latin America's economic downfall in the 1980s and the solution to its recovery, Reinventing the State analyzes three main phases of state intervention: the developmentalism that lasted until 1982, the state in retreat of the 1980s, and the streamlined state of the 1990s. Through a comprehensive examination of the Peruvian experience, the book explains the country's impressive turnaround from the standpoint of institutional modernization and internal state reform. Written for a broad academic audience, the public-policy community, and the private sector, this book is also meant as a quick primer for any journalist, consultant, or private-sector analyst in need of an overview of the region's market-reform effort and how it has played out in Peru.
Reinventing the Wheel: The Science of Creating Lifetime Customers
by Chris ZaneWhen Chris Zane bought his bicycle shop at age 16, his business struggled until he discovered the secret that catapulted his store into one of the largest in the country. His secret? Provide unbelievable, over the top, excessively generous customer service.Chris Zane isn't a management consultant or professor preaching a theory of customer service; he's a hands-on entrepreneur whose customer service approach has yielded enormous success. Zane has become a business celebrity, including being featured in the most recent round of American Express television ads.Featured in the New York Times and in Associated Press articles and bestowed numerous awards for its unique business practices and outstanding customer relations, Zane's Cycles has produced ideas thought by many to be pie-in-the-sky. But these counterintuitive concepts have proven to be hard-headed and effective. For example, Zane's offers a trade-in program for families who can turn in bicycles their kids have outgrown for a 100 percent credit toward new ones. Initially thought impossibly generous, this program has proven to be good business. Experience and a clear understanding of the lifetime value of a customer makes this program, and many others Zane's implements, work.In Reinventing the Wheel, commonly overlooked elements that make a business exceptional are revealed. Zane produces a case study unlike any other-one that shows the importance of investing in customers and employees and how businesses are really selling experiences, not products. His philosophies and tried-and-true methods of guerilla marketing will show entrepreneurs and business owners how to knock out the competition while thriving in any kind of economy and doing good for the community along the way.

Reinvigorating the United Nations (Routledge New Diplomacy Studies)
by Sławomir Redo Markus KornprobstThis book examines pathways for how to reinvigorate the United Nations, in light of recent crises.The United Nations requires reinvigoration. The organisation’s supply of global governance falls short of global demand in areas ranging from health to environment, while intra-state armed conflicts are on the rise again, and fullblown inter-state war has returned to the agenda. At the same time, decision-making mechanisms are deadlocked, and their legitimacy is increasingly questioned. But what pathways are there for reinvigorating the United Nations? This book argues for consolidating key principles pertaining to inter-state relations and human rights, for elaborating on the UN system in order to avoid fragmentation and make it possible for it to keep pace with a changing world, and for revisiting UN decision-making structures so that it can become more inclusive and rebuild trust among stakeholders. The volume embraces a comprehensive approach to studying the organisation, and the authors analyse the institutions comprising the UN system, as well as the social context within which actors put these institutions to use. The book contributes to scholarly debates about the United Nations and about how it is embedded in a broader international order currently beset by crises and, ultimately, aims to show what concrete steps for strengthening the organisation might look like.This book will be of much interest to students of international organisations, diplomacy studies, global governance, and International Relations in general.The Introduction, Chapter 5, Chapter 10 and the Conclusion of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com.

Reise in die moderne Geldwirtschaft: Wirtschaftszusammenhänge verstehen und mitreden können
by Johannes Binswanger Carolin GüssowDie moderne Geldwirtschaft, in der wir heute leben, ist ganz schön kompliziert. Es gibt Zentralbanken, Geschäftsbanken, Investoren, Geldpolitik und Zinsentscheide, Staatsanleihenkäufe und Quantitative Easing, Wechselkursproblematiken und noch vieles andere. Die Zeitungen berichten täglich darüber. Haben Sie dabei immer den Überblick? Sehen Sie immer klar die Zusammenhänge? Spätestens seit der Finanzkrise und der Corona-Krise oder jetzt bei steigenden Inflationsraten spielen Zentralbanken und ihre Geldpolitik eine wichtige Rolle. In den Zeitungen lesen wir ständig von schwindelerregend langen Zentralbankbilanzen oder von Leitzinserhöhungen und davon, wie Zentralbanken anstelle der Politiker einspringen, die Wirtschaft zu "retten". Johannes Binswanger und Carolin Güssow nehmen uns mit nach "Econville", einen "prototypischen" Wirtschaftsstandort. Sie zeigen die Entstehungsgeschichte der modernen Geldwirtschaft auf, deren Kenntnis Voraussetzung ist, die Logik des heutigen Geldsystems und der aktuellen Maßnahmen zu verstehen. Die Geschichte des Geldes ist eingebettet in den größeren Kontext des Wirtschaftsgeschehens. So erörtern die Autoren auch, wie Wirtschaftswachstum entsteht und welche Rolle Kapital- und Finanzmärkte dabei spielen.

Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection
by Jia JiangThe inspiring, relatable, and sometimes outrageous true story of how one man used 100 days of rejection therapy to overcome fear and dare to live more boldly &“Rejection Proof smashes fear in the face with a one-two punch. You&’ll laugh out loud at Jia&’s crazy social experiments, but you&’ll also go away thinking differently about what you can accomplish.&”—Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Pursuit Jia Jiang&’s TEDx Talk, &“What I learned from 100 days of rejection,&” has amassed over ten million views!Jia Jiang came to the United States with the dream of being the next Bill Gates. But despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed and spiraled into a period of deep self-doubt. Jia realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be; he needed to find a way to cope with being told &“no&” that wouldn&’t destroy him. Inspired by rejection therapy, which uses similar modalities as exposure therapy to desensitize you to the effects of being rejected, he undertook the &“100 days of rejection&” experiment, during which he willfully sought out rejection on a daily basis—from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loud speaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme donuts in the shape of Olympic rings (yes, with a viral video to prove it). Over the course of one hundred rejection attempts, Jia realized that even the most preposterous wish might be granted if you ask the right way. He learned the secrets to making successful requests, tactics for picking the right people to approach at the right time, and strategies for converting an initial no into something positive. More important, Jia discovered ways to steel himself against rejection and live more fearlessly—skills that can&’t be derailed by a single setback. The changes Jia experienced from his rejection therapy experiment went far beyond becoming more successful in business; he realized that he could apply these techniques to get more out of his relationships with friends, family, and even casual encounters with strangers. Filled with great stories and valuable insight, Rejection Proof shares the secrets of Jia&’s rejection journey, distilling each lesson into a strategy that can be used in any negotiation or pitch.

Relaciones que funcionan: Cómo entenderte hasta con tu peor enemigo
by Alex Galofré Ferran Ramón-CortesUna herramienta para conocer mejor a los demás, ajustar nuestra relación con ellos y, de esta forma, evitar malentendidos y conflictos. Las personas tenemos estilos diferentes, y esto hace que recibamos la comunicación de forma diferente. Adaptar nuestra comunicación al estilo de la persona a la que nos dirigimos hace que nos podamos entender mejor. Para conseguir una relación positiva entre distintos estilos, necesitamos tender puentes de comprensión y aceptación. Necesitamos entender qué necesita cada estilo y qué debemos evitar. Solo así podremos vencer malentendidos y conflictos. Relaciones que funcionan parte de la idea de que cada persona posee un estilo de relación con los otros diferente, y que esos estilos se pueden agrupar en cuatro grandes tipologías. A partir de estas tipologías, los autores proponen una metodología para conocer a nuestros interlocutores y adaptar nuestra comunicación a ellos, de forma que sea más persuasiva. El libro también introduce una reflexión sobre cómo nos podemos relacionar con personas que son aparentemente antagónicas a nosotros, dando explicación a incomprensiones y conflictos a los que a veces nos enfrentamos sin comprender cómo se han originado, y menos aún, cómo resolverlos.

Relating Software Requirements and Architectures
by John Grundy Ivan Mistrík Jon G. Hall Patricia Lago Paris AvgeriouWhy have a book about the relation between requirements and software architecture? Understanding the relation between requirements and architecture is important because the requirements, be they explicit or implicit, represent the function, whereas the architecture determines the form. While changes to a set of requirements may impact on the realization of the architecture, choices made for an architectural solution may impact on requirements, e.g., in terms of revising functional or non-functional requirements that cannot actually be met. Although research in both requirements engineering and software architecture is quite active, it is in their combination that understanding is most needed and actively sought. Presenting the current state of the art is the purpose of this book. The editors have divided the contributions into four parts: Part 1 "Theoretical Underpinnings and Reviews" addresses the issue of requirements change management in architectural design through traceability and reasoning. Part 2 "Tools and Techniques" presents approaches, tools, and techniques for bridging the gap between software requirements and architecture. Part 3 "Industrial Case Studies" then reports industrial experiences, while part 4 on "Emerging Issues" details advanced topics such as synthesizing architecture from requirements or the role of middleware in architecting for non-functional requirements. The final chapter is a conclusions chapter identifying key contributions and outstanding areas for future research and improvement of practice. The book is targeted at academic and industrial researchers in requirements engineering or software architecture. Graduate students specializing in these areas as well as advanced professionals in software development will also benefit from the results and experiences presented in this volume.
