What does it mean when we say that something “goes global”? This book argues that in order to understand what this phrase means, we must think of the global as both imaginary and real, fictional and material, and contingent on a partly intentional, partly accidental U. S. infrastructure of culture and media that has proliferated across the planet since the end of the Second World War. To this end, the book studies cultural productions that make the global American media environment visible and even potentially hackable, whether those texts are Italian Westerns from the 1960s, Jamaican dancehall music from the 1970s and 80s, Thomas Pynchon’s novel Gravity’s Rainbow (1973), Jamaica Kincaid’s book A Small Place (1988), Octavia E., Butler’s novel Parable of the Sower (1993), Toni Morrison’s novel A Mercy (2008), or Teju Cole’s fictional texts, essays, and internet art (2007-23). Encompassing literary criticism, cinema studies, media studies, Africana thought, and global studies, this book argues that only through a thoroughly interdisciplinary and international approach can we begin to grapple with America’s role as the medium of invention for our unendingly shrinking world, and with the always-changing conditions for conceiving of the planet as a unified totality. As a work of interdisciplinary scholarship, the book recommends itself to scholars of global American studies or any of the disciplines and subfields upon which it touches. These disciplines include 20th- and 21st-century American literary history, globalization studies, cultural studies, and media studies; the subfields include Italian cinema of the postwar period, sound studies, and the study of the epic as a genre.

While the future can't be predicted, it can be prepared for. In today's volatile global landscape, political risk is no longer a distant concern-it's a boardroom imperative. Geopolitical Intelligence for the Boardroom is a strategic guide for business leaders, preparing them to navigate the growing intersections of politics, economics, and corporate reputation in an increasingly fragmented world. Drawing on techniques pioneered by intelligence agencies and adapted for the private sector, this book equips executives and directors with the tools to anticipate disruption, manage uncertainty, and lead with clarity in an era of accelerating geopolitical change. Inside, you will discover: Proven frameworks for integrating geopolitical analysis into strategic planning Structured analytic techniques for stress-testing assumptions and identifying blind spots Real-world case studies showing how geopolitical foresight drives better business outcomes Practical guidance for boards seeking to enhance resilience, agility, and long-term value Author Morten Hansen distills decades of experience as a strategic advisor and global executive into a playbook for action that empowers companies to move from reactive crisis management to proactive strategy execution. Geopolitical Intelligence for the Boardroom equips corporate leaders with the mindset and methods to navigate complexity, seize opportunity, and uphold their company's purpose-even in a fractured, multipolar world.

Nøkkelen til suksess er ikke å jobbe hardere. Det handler om å jobbe smartere. «Den komplette introduksjonen til hvordan du skal jobbe ikke mer, men smartere.

Hvert av rådene er ledsaget av inspirerende historier.

In Collaboration, author Morten Hansen takes aim at what many leaders inherently know: in today's competitive environment, companywide collaboration is an imperative for successful strategy execution, yet the sought-after synergies are rarely, if ever, realized. In fact, most cross-unit collaborative efforts end up wasting time, money, and resources. How can managers avoid the costly traps of collaboration and instead start getting the results they need? In this book, Hansen shows managers how to get collaboration right through "disciplined collaboration"-- a practical framework and set of tools managers can use to: * Assess when--and when not--to pursue collaboration across units to achieve goals * Identify and overcome the four barriers to collaboration * Get people to buy into the larger picture, even when they own only a small piece of it * Be a "T-Shaped Manager," collaborating across divisions while still working deeply in your own unit * Create networks across the organization that are not large, but nimble and effective Based on the author's long-running research, in-depth case studies, and company interviews, Collaboration delivers practical advice and tools to help your organization collaborate--for real results.

The Choir Work honours the ancestors. They were the singers in the monasteries a thousand years ago who invented the alphabet of music called notes. They were the masters of Notre Dame in year 1200 that gave us the first amazing polyphony. They were the masters of late renaissance that perfected the art. They were all composers that understood the true nature of the choir whatever their time, place and styles were. Therefore the Choir Work is only a small part of a huge Choir Work going through the centuries – a link in chain. I have borrowed a vehicle for a short while: a lifetime to keep the unbroken tradition alive – changing and yet not-changing. The core remains.
