Proponents of 'Long-Term Lock-In' theories such as Jared Diamond suggest that from time immemorial, some critical factor - geography, climate, or culture perhaps - made East and West unalterably different, and determined that the industrial revolution would happen in the West and push it further ahead of the East. But the East led the West between 500 and 1600, so this development can't have been inevitable; and so proponents of 'Short-Term Accident' theories argue that Western rule was a temporary aberration that is now coming to an end, with Japan, China, and India resuming their rightful places on the world stage. However, as the West led for 9,000 of the previous 10,000 years, it wasn't just a temporary aberration. So, if we want to know why the West rules, we need a whole new theory. Ian Morris, boldly entering the turf of Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson, provides the broader approach that is necessary, combining the textual historian's focus on context, the anthropological archaeologist's awareness of the deep past, and the social scientist's comparative methods to make sense of the past, present and future - in a way no one has ever done before.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45724033056930,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/81uItEhNS4L._SL1500.jpg?v=1754042444"},{"product_id":"fueling-our-future-an-introduction-to-sustainable-energy-by-robert-l-evans-author","title":"Fueling Our Future: An Introduction to Sustainable Energy by Robert L.

Through a combination of extensive stochastic simulations and statistical tests, the authors investigate to what extent their simple assumptions are falsified by empirically observable facts.

This model teaches students ethical skills, vocabulary, and tools to apply in everyday business decisions and throughout their business courses. The authors speak in a sophisticated yet accessible manner while teaching the fundamentals of business ethics. Hartman’s professional background in law and her teaching experience in the business curriculum, combined with DesJardins’ background in philosophy, results in a broad language, ideal for this approach and market. The authors’ goal is to engage the student by focusing on cases and business scenarios that students already find interesting. Students are then asked to look at the issues from an ethical perspective. Additionally, its focus on AACSB requirements makes it a comprehensive business ethics text for business school courses. The goal for the second edition remains the same as for the first: to provide “a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the ethical issues arising in business.” Hartman and DesJardins have retained the focus on decision-making as well as the emphasis on both personal and policy-level perspectives on ethics. This edition continues to provide pedagogical support throughout the text. The most noticeable changes involve a thorough updating of distinct items such as Reality Checks, Decision Points, and readings to reflect new cases, examples and data.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45783653908642,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/914M2r37ISL._SY342.jpg?v=1756211043"},{"product_id":"boomerang-by-michael-lewis","title":"Boomerang by Michael Lewis","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780241955024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePenguin Group, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAugust 22, 2012\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 213 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e''A highly enjoyable exercise in financial disaster tourism... politically incorrect, often very funny, and shot through with genuine insight'' Robert Harris, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIn this hilarious, fascinating, timely must-read, Michael Lewis reveals the true natures of the countries caught up in - and exacerbating - our boomerang economies, showing how the financial meltdown hit us all in the face.

With a major international presence, in a variety of areas including steel, tea, chemicals, communications and software, Tata now stands 65th in the world brand valuation league. But what is the Tata brand all about? What are its values? How do people perceive it, in India and around the world? In this absorbing and informed book Morgen Witzel digs into the heart of the Tata enterprise, describes its origins, how Tata's reputation and image evolved, and how the group has worked to transform that image into a powerful and valuable brand. Tata: The Evolution of a Corporate Brand goes to the core of the Tata ethos to explore the unique relationship between the Tata group and the Indian people, a relationship that goes beyond the achievements of a successful business to its social contributions for its employees and the society at large. Finally it asks how that reputation will be perceived and understood as Tata moves into global markets. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a manager, a marketer, or an interested Tata loyalist this book will help you understand the durability of the brand and inspire you with the values it holds onto in the global economy.                                 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45800658337954,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/61h2j_62zqL._SL1500.jpg?v=1756993103"},{"product_id":"principles-life-and-work-by-ray-dalio-author","title":"Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio (Author)","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781501124020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Avid Reader Press \/ Simon \u0026amp; Schuster, \u003cspan\u003eSeptember 19, 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, 592 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City.

Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career.

He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions.

Markets, the cornerstone of neoliberalism, were said to provide higher prices to farmers. But evidence shows that farmgate prices during this period have stagnated. Moreover, market-driven growth has encouraged production of agricultural exports and growing use of chemical inputs. Since world farm prices have been in decline, the consequences for food security and the farm environment are, to say the least, questionable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeoliberal globalization is also premised on expanding international trade into the realms of agriculture and intellectual property. Evidence shows that trade liberalization - implemented mainly through structural adjustment programs and the WTO - is often biased against Third World farmers and small farmers everywhere. The power of transnational corporations in agricultural trade and farm technology has grown by leaps and bounds. Evidence shows that the corporate-driven GM-food revolution has had little positive effect on farm livelihoods or food security. To arrest these trends, Jerry Buckland calls for farm policies founded on farmer-led food security and a democratization of the global institutions that have had such detrimental effects on the world's farmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45811438780578,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/81SiwbhF79L._SY342.jpg?v=1757428125"},{"product_id":"corporate-innovation-entrepreneurship-by-michael-morris-jeffrey-covin-1-more","title":"Corporate Innovation \u0026 Entrepreneurship by Michael Morris, Jeffrey Covin, \u0026 1 more","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781111526917\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18 January 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis innovative book will be a useful and trusted reference throughout your career, no matter which company or industry you work within.

The women leaders came up with strategies for gender transformation at a leadership level. The book presents life stories of women leaders in South Africa and abroad and men who believe in gender equality and contributed towards this goal. The common thread across the life stories of women who contributed to the book are:- A message from family that said ‘’you can be anything that you set your mind to be’’ - Supportive men who sponsored and mentored them.- Pursuit of education- Determination to succeed- Your initial social class should not determine the person you become. Though the lower your initial social class is, the harder you have to work to achieve your ambitious dreams.This book is relevant for people across gender, race and social class who want advice on personal strategies and tactics to succeed; leaders who want to be inclusive with an empowerment agenda for minorities; mentors across gender, corporate and government leaders who are committed to transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45828463788194,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/71-wpvJitnL._SY342.jpg?v=1758031031"},{"product_id":"history-of-greed-financial-fraud-from-tulip-mania-to-bernie-madoff-by-david-e-y-sarna-andrew-malik","title":"History of Greed: Financial Fraud from Tulip Mania to Bernie Madoff by David E.

Concentrating on the probabilistic theory of continuous arbitrage pricing of financial derivatives, including stochastic optimal control theory and Merton's fund separation theory, the book is designed for graduate students and combines necessary mathematical background with a solid economic focus. It includes a solved example for every new technique presented, contains numerous exercises, and suggests further reading in each chapter. In this substantially extended new edition Tomas Bjork has added completely new chapters on measure theory and probability theory, including the Radon-Nikodym Theorem, Girsanov transformations, and stochastic integral martingale representations. There is also an extensive new chapter on the abstract martingale approach to arbitrage theory, including a guided tour through the Delbaen-Schachermayer proof of the first fundamental theorem, as well as a new chapter on the LIBOR and swap market models. Providing two full treatments of arbitrage theory - the classical delta hedging approach and the modern martingale approach - the book is written in such a way that these approaches can be studied independently of each other, thus providing the less mathematically oriented reader with a self contained introduction to arbitrage theory, while at the same time allowing the specialist to see the full theory in action.

Beginning in the early seventeenth century, this climatological trend forced the desert approximately 200–300 kilometers to the south, transforming ethnic identities and ways of life along the length of the Sahel. Based on extensive archival research and on Saharan oral data, Desert Frontier argues that the principal historical dynamics of the precolonial Sahel were determined by this pervasive ecological crisis, rather than by the dynamics of a European-dominated world system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46251117904034,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/61mAsvytLNL._SL1360.jpg?v=1762176895"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/collections\/business-and-money-books-with-a-big-business-and-money-poster-and-related-decorations.png?v=1760102331","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/collections\/business-money.oembed?page=4","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
