Ridiculously Easy to Do Business With: A practical guide to giving customers what they want - how and when they want it
by David AvrinIf doing business with you isn&’t ridiculously easy, your customers will find someone who is!David Avrin is one of the most in-demand international keynote speakers and customer experience consultants working today. He helps organisations understand and connect with their evolving customers to future-proof their business. In his seventh book, 'Ridiculously Easy to Do Business With', Avrin highlights that offering high quality and great service is no longer enough. To thrive, your business must become ridiculously easy to do business with. This practical guide explores over two dozen common policies and behaviours that create &‘friction&’ for your customers— those frustrating barriers that drive customers and clients away. Left unchecked, they will erode loyalty as customers seek more accommodating and aligned alternatives. Translation: Customer will leave you for competitors if you give them a reason to! Inside, you&’ll learn why it&’s critically important to make it ridiculously easy for customers or prospects to: • Have speedy access to service, answers, response, resolution, and delivery. • Understand why speed has become a primary driver for customer choice. • Try before they buy—without having to give you their credit card! • Customise their order or choose their customer journey. • See the price without digging through pages of online text or meeting a sales rep. • Remember what they are paying for, and why they chose you in the first place. • Cancel a subscription, return an item, or change their mind—so you can keep the relationship and sell them something else later. • Trust you, the process, and others who have shared their buying experience online. • Sleep well knowing you have built a customer engagement model built to last. Grab a highlighter, scribble in the margins, dog-ear the pages—this is not a library book. It&’s a hands-on guide to removing friction, filled with ideas and strategies you&’ll return to again and again. &‘When everything has been hard, we crave EASY. This is a timely guide to removing obstacles and frustrations that impede purchases.&’ – Jay Baer, author of &‘The Time to Win&’ &‘David Avrin&’s insights on customer experience shine brightly … He underscores a crucial message: never leave your customers in doubt or concern.

Unbearable: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America
by Irin CarmonFrom the award-winning New York magazine reporter and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Notorious RBG, an ambitious and passionate exploration of what&’s gone wrong with pregnancy in America, through the lens of history, politics, and the searing experiences of five women. Journalist Irin Carmon was eight months pregnant when the Supreme Court allowed states to ban abortion, unleashing pain and suffering for those who didn&’t want to be pregnant and, shockingly to some, those who did. What was clear to Carmon from her dozen years of reporting—and from what she felt in her bones—was how incomplete the American story of reproduction had been, and how much had been unexpressed, hidden, or taken for granted, and not just by conservative justices or in red states. Whether in cosmopolitan, liberal New York City or rural Alabama, the entire system is broken. Unbearable tells a deeper story, going beyond the headlines and any one experience or choice, and grounded in history and journalism. It introduces us to five women navigating pregnancy care—from that first positive pregnancy test through joy, loss, and the unforeseen—in a country that is at best indifferent and at worst willfully cruel, and to brave, outnumbered people fighting to make it better. Written with deep empathy and analytical rigor, Unbearable is at once a moving story of interconnection, a harrowing exposé, and assertion of humanity. Above all, it is a powerful call for solidarity, regardless of our circumstances or our decisions.
Multiculturalism in Contemporary British South Asian Fiction: Home, Belonging, and Cultural Negotiation
by Anas Galet AlhaisonyThis book explores the multifaceted themes of home, belonging, and multiculturalism in contemporary British South Asian fiction. Through detailed literary analysis of novels by authors such as Nadeem Aslam, Gautam Malkani, and Kamila Shamsie, this work delves into how these narratives reflect and interrogate the complex interplay of race, class, and identity in the context of modern Britain. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from cultural studies and postcolonial theory, the project examines the role of literature in shaping public perceptions of multicultural identities and provides new insights into how British South Asian literature responds to and reshapes contemporary socio-political events like Brexit and the 2011 England riots. This study aims to offer a critical re-evaluation of the concept of multiculturalism, moving beyond traditional discussions of diaspora and hybridity to explore more nuanced interpretations of cultural integration and identity formation.
Ökonomische versus strukturelle Rationalität im Kooperationsdilemma: Eine Untersuchung der epistemischen Bedingungen der strukturellen Rationalität in Kooperationssituationen der Spieltheorie
by Anna-Vanadis FaixIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird das grundlegende Problem der Kooperation innerhalb der Rational-Choice-Theorie diskutiert. Ausgehend vom Gefangenendilemma analysiert die Autorin verschiedene theoretische Ansätze zur Erklärung rationaler Kooperation, darunter utilitaristische, evolutionäre und kollektivistische Modelle. Im Zentrum steht die strukturelle Rationalität nach Julian Nida-Rümelin, die gestärkt und um eine epistemische Dimension erweitert wird. Ziel ist es, ein plausibles Konzept kooperativen Handelns jenseits konsequentialistischer Reduktionen zu entwickeln, das sowohl philosophisch fundiert als auch praktisch anschlussfähig ist. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass Kooperation keineswegs irrational sein muss, sondern eine vernünftige Grundlage im Rahmen struktureller Rationalität haben kann.

Unterhaltsamer Antisemitismus?: Kritische Perspektiven auf (un-)soziale Phänomene unserer Gegenwart (Phänomene der Spätmoderne nach dem iconic turn | Phenomena of Late-Modernism after the Iconic Turn)
by Frank Thomas Brinkmann Malte Dominik KrügerDie Beiträge in diesem Buch reagieren auf die Beobachtung, dass in medial konstituierten Empörungskulturen der Umgang mit historischen und tagesaktuell existenziellen, insbesondere mit antisemitisch imprägnierten Bedrohungsphänomenen zunehmend auf Plattformen stattfindet, wo man Betroffenheit ohne persönliche Erfahrung artikulieren und mit vorgeschobenen Platzhaltern inszenieren kann. Konsequent werden entsprechende Einsichten belegt und kontextualisiert. Aufzuzeigen gilt, wie sich der Antisemitismus 3.0 als Entertainment-Motiv der Bildkultur unserer Gegenwart realisiert, um diese Szenarien und Prozesse angemessen hermeneutisch, kulturtheoretisch sowie normativ einzuholen und zu bewältigen.
