Barack Obama used a secret competitive advantage to win two elections. Companies such as Google, Amazon and Novo Nordisk use the same insight to stir up innovation, increase compliance, improve the work environment and sell more products. And successful management groups in the C20 index have started using it as their preferred strategy. But what kind of insight are we talking about here?

The answer is – behavioural design. Because people in the real world don’t actually behave like the people we build all our usual strategies for. We are opposing human biology and psychology when we insist that good arguments, burning platforms, classic change management, pamphlets, campaigns, and joint meetings are the way to go.

 
Obama, Google and all the rest have instead opted to use an evidence-based approach to change behaviour, and when you’ve read I’m Afraid Debbie From Marketing Has Left for the Day, you can adopt this approach as well. In his book, Morten Münster has converted 40 years of research in human behaviour into an easily accessible method composed of four steps – a helping hand to all managers and employees who are thirsting for alternatives to conventional means.

This story is about 50 unique Lean journeys. Through the years, we, the authors of this book, have come in contact with large amount of Lean efforts. Our overall picture is that on the one hand, most efforts go well at first, but that long-term effect isn't achieved and the air gradually goes out. On the other hand, there are several well-known companies which have managed to achieve sustainable competitive advantages and high performance levels, supported by a successful Lean initiative. We were curious and interested to find out what it looks like and why. We started from a number of key questions we wanted answered:
What are the companies' purpose of a Lean effort? What does the efficiency look like in various Lean efforts? What does the life cycle look like for different Lean efforts? Why do so few experience sustained success with Lean?
For the companies that do not have a sustained successful Lean effort, there is hope. A correctly performed revitalization of the Lean effort pays off. The story describes what makes a difference between companies that are successful in their Lean effort and what characterizes a well-performed revitalization. www.50shadesoflean.com
"50 Shades of Lean is an exciting, fresh, easy-to-read and very rewarding Lean book. Unlike the vast amount of Lean books, the authors describe and analyze why Lean projects succeed or fail - in the long run. At a conference in Stockholm in 2010, I said that few Swedish companies will use Lean in ten years. The problem is that it is too easy to start new change projects, but very hard to create endurance in the change effort. The authors of 50 Shades of Lean provide concrete advise on what businesses need to do if they want their change efforts to be successful for a long time to come. This fact-based book should therefore be mandatory reading for all organizations - both before starting lean / change projects and during the journey." - Dag Näslund, Associate Professor of Process and Supply Chain Management at Lund University and Associate Professor of Management, at the University of North Florida, USA.
"An interesting analysis that goes deeper into the known problem that many Lean initiatives do not give expected results. The study highlights key success factors such as a long-term view and perseverance in the Lean transformation, management's ownership and commitment to both managers and employees. I recommend anyone who wants to succeed in a long term with Lean to take note of the conclusions of this book." - Peter Alvarsson, Head of Operational Excellence &amp; Lean, Sweden Operations AstraZeneca

Considered an enduring classic, ‘Budgetary Control’ sees McKinsey put years of practical accounting experience down on paper. One of the pioneers of ‘management theory,’ his observations, methodology, and approach are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published. ´Budgetary Control´ is essential reading for anyone with an interest in what goes on behind the scenes of any successful business. James Oscar McKinsey (1889 – 1937) was born in Missouri and went on to found the management consulting firm, McKinsey & Company. The son of James Madison and Mary Elizabeth Logan McKinsey, he had a modest upbringing and was raised in a three-room house in the Ozarks. After finishing high school, he attended Warrensburg Teachers College and earned a Bachelor of Pedagogy. Subsequently, he enrolled at the University of Arkansas to study Law, Bookkeeping at the St. Louis University, and Philosophy and Commerce at the University of Chicago. In 1919, McKinsey wrote the first textbook about managerial accounting. After serving in the First World War, he lectured in accounting at Columbia University. During that year, he published his major work, ‘Budgetary Control.’ McKinsey & Co. was founded in 1926, and he worked there until 1935.

Do you ever think about who knows what about you? That whenever you are online, on the web or using apps, your behaviour can affect your chances of landing a great job or losing it, being accepted at the school of your dreams, or receiving the best price for your insurance policy or a simple airline ticket?

At home, at work, at school. Where you’re jogging or dating, shopping or searching, streaming music or simply reading something. You are constantly tracked - most often without you noticing or knowing about it. When Google, Facebook, Twitter and Co. let you find information, stay in touch and entertain yourself it is by no means free. You pay with your personal data - today’s oil. 

Companies feast on your digital identity. They mine, store and sell information about your interests, tastes, religion, age, political belief, health, sexual orientation, even your friends. And they make billions scraping together the pieces of your identity. 

Fake It guides you through the maze and madness of oversharing. How to take care of your identity and reputation online. Who keeps an eye on you and why. What happens to your data, and which tools can you use, such as blocking cookies and trackers, disconnecting social buttons and - most importantly - using more identities, hiding behind pseudonyms and aliases. Your privacy is more important than the terms of service dictated by for-profit entities.

The Virtual Presenter

The future of humanity is as ever precarious, dependent on our moral capital which concurs with a virtuous circle of democratic values, institutions and practices. The voluntary cooperation between tens or hundreds of millions of basically egotistical individuals in a democratic society is nothing short of the miraculous, and it should be no surprise that it does not always work. Democracy has failed repeatedly outside its core countries. When we move into the next phase of democratic development, our worst enemy will be complacency.
The Challenge of Democracy presents a penetrating analysis of the democratic predicament the historic ties, the driving forces, the threats and opportunities. The personal recollections of the author enliven the text. He combines the different aspects of his subject matter into a coherent worldview, mapping out the dangers ahead.
The book proffers both dependable charts and a moral compass for navigating a turbulent future. The outcome is in no way preordained, but depends on every one of us our good will and sense of fair play.

The Challenge of Democracy

Entrepreneur or consumer? In his licentiate’s dissertation at ÖrebroUniversityin 2011 the author treated that question concerning the main rule on the determination of the tax subject according to mervärdesskattelagen (1994:200) [i.e. the Swedish VAT act]. The problem then concerned in the first place whether that determination of who’s entrepreneur for VAT purposes is in compliance with the main rule in the EU’s VAT Directive (2066/112/EC) for the determination of taxable person, article 9(1) first paragraph.
In this book the author continue with the same topic, but here’s the determination of the tax subject concerning one of the special rules in mervärdesskattelagen investigated That rule is to be found in Chapter 6 section 2 which partly treats the tax liability for partners in enkla bolag (approx. joint ventures) and partrederier (shipping partnerships), partly contains a possibility for the partners to let a partner as representative answer for accounting and payment liability regarding the VAT in bolaget or rederiet. By its character of special rule on tax and payment liability is the present rule – which in this book is called the representative rule – not of the same economical importance as the main rule to determine the tax subject. However is the representative rule of a significant economical interest. There are more than 7,000 active enkla bolag according to the Statistics Sweden’s (SCB) enterprise register. Furthermore there are hidden statistics concerning undetected enkla bolag. The representative rule is however of a particular law scientific interest due to it concerning a more classical law scientific problem, namely taxation and collection in connection with legal figures – enkla bolag and partrederier – which aren’t legal entities. The tax liability shall also in this case be in compliance with the main rule on who’s taxable person according to the EU’s VAT Directive (2006/112).
By SFS 2013:368 was on the 1st of July 2013 the determination of the tax subject disconnected from the income tax act, and yrkesmässig verksamhet was replaced with the concept beskattningsbar person (taxable person). However, the Government and the EU Commission talk at cross-purposes concerning the criticism that the Commission presented in 2008 regarding the determination of the emergence of the right of deduction according to mervärdesskattelagen. The reform in 2013 didn’t mention the use of the concept skattskyldig (tax liable), instead of beskattningsbar person (taxable person), for that determination. The Commission might believe that the criticism has led to a solution by the reform, but the problem remains. A more holistic review of the use of the concept skattskyldig in mervärdesskattelagen is thus necessary. This book also proves that the particular problems which exist concerning VAT in enkla bolag and partrederier still remains after the reform of 2013 – these have not yet been mentioned by the legislator. In this book are rules regarded per the 1st of January 2015.
The author, Mr. Björn Forssén, became Doctor of Laws on the 26th of April 2013 by this book, which in its first edition (both the first and the second editions were in Swedish) constituted – together with the licentiate’s thesis – a combined doctor’s thesis to receive the Degree of Doctor of Laws at Örebro University.

Tax and payment liability to VAT in enkla bolag (approx. joint ventures) and partrederier (shipping partnerships)

The Entrepreneur and the Making of Tax Laws – A Swedish Experience of the EU law: Second edition concerns fiscal sociology aspects on the making of tax laws. It’s a new branch within the field of fiscal sociology concerning certain aspects on the making of tax laws (first presented in this book’s first edition). It forms a bridge between fiscal sociology aspects in the broader sense, i.e. regarding aspects of economics and sociology on fiscal sociology.
 
The book consists of five parts, A-E:
 
-          Part A concerns systematic questions on the making of tax laws from the perspective of the entrepreneur and how the legislator’s intentions of taxation are conveyed by the texts;
 
-          Part B concerns communication distortions mainly due to poor texts, with focus set on the use of the concept tax liable in the Swedish Value Added Tax Act1994 insome instances where the EU’s VAT Directive (2006/112/EC) instead contains the concept taxable person; and
 
-          Part C is about consequences thereof for the entrepreneur mainly concerning charges of tax surcharge and tax fraud.
 
-          There’s also an Epilogue tying together parts A-C.
 
-          Parts A-C are the basis of the book. In this second edition there are also parts D and E which refer on several occasions to parts A-C, where Part D mainly refers to Part B.
 
-          Part D adds linguistics and pedagogy aspects on the subject of the making of tax laws by putting it into a context of the use of language in law in general. Thus, Part D sets the focus more on the language issue itself than on imperfections in the system which is supposed to convey the legislator’s intentions with tax rules.
 
-          Part E contains some suggestions on research about fiscal sociology in the initially mentioned broader senses that might be influenced by the experiences from parts A-D.
 
Parts A-C, can be read separately with regard of their various mentioned themes. Before reading parts D and E the author advise reading at least Part B and the Epilogue to parts A-C.
 
Published 2015-10-16, 236 pages.

Deliver - Effective International Project Management

Do we really need more consumer ‘stuff’?
While most everyone will answer ‘No,’ we still see thousands of new products and services launched every day. These compete for our attention with already inundated markets filled with existing products – in the midst of the most intense information flows in history. Traditional adverts are not a cost-effective solution and like much more. So how can you successfully catch consumers’ interest?
This book provides the answer. It’s all about adapting to the demands of entertainment – which means product stories that are simultaneously sales driving and identity building. The book presents volumes of examples – including how one of the most wide-spread breakfast cereals was originally developed as a way to counteract masturbation.
It also fully explains concepts like Business mindfulness, the ‘Happy Valley phenomenon,’ and ‘Copperfield rhetoric.’ Moreover, you read about how a single word is used to encour- age consumers to buy eggs from chickens that are less healthy and how consumers were led to pay 12 times more for their bowl of oatmeal porridge. Before concluding, the book provides a simple model for how to build quality product stories using four cornerstones, five elements that sell stories, and the ‘ICE’ you need.
