Using a variety of economic, financial, and political indicators, this book demonstrates that the global system has become an 'architecture of collapse'. The global financial crisis of 2008, the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and China, and the European sovereign debt crisis illustrate the causes and the consequences of global instability
Transformative global trends are reshaping society, with urbanization outpacing rural living and obesity surpassing hunger for the first time. The book explores the imminent demographic shifts, predicting India will lead in population, China in production, and the U.S. in per capita wealth. It highlights critical challenges, such as food and water shortages, while introducing four new chapters that delve into the global middle class's rise, technology's impact, institutional roles, and financial system challenges, offering a comprehensive overview of twenty-first-century issues.
Scientific Management and the Rise of Modernist Architecture
Exploring the intersection of modernist architecture and scientific management, this book delves into the historical context of early 20th-century industrialization. It highlights how the rationalized machine world, epitomized by figures like Henry Ford and Frederick Winslow Taylor, initially inspired aesthetic beauty in design. However, as the dream of efficiency evolved into a dehumanizing reality, the narrative shifts to reflect on how these principles significantly transformed architectural practice, blending romance and functionality in a new era.
A ground-breaking analysis from one of the world's foremost experts on global trends, including answers on how COVID-19 will amplify and accelerate each of these changes
Once upon a time, the world was neatly divided into prosperous and backward economies. Babies were plentiful, workers outnumbered retirees, and people aspiring towards the middle class yearned to own homes and cars. Companies didn't need to see any further than Europe and the United States to do well. Printed money was legal tender for all debts, public and private. We grew up learning how to "play the game," and we expected the rules to remain the same as we took our first job, started a family, saw our children grow up, and went into retirement with our finances secure. That world-and those rules-are over. By 2030, a new reality will take hold, and before you know it: - There will be more grandparents than grandchildren - The middle-class in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa will outnumber the US and Europe combined - The global economy will be driven by the non-Western consumer for the first time in modern history - There will be more global wealth owned by women than men - There will be more robots than workers - There will be more computers than human brains - There will be more currencies than countries All these trends, currently underway, will converge in the year 2030 and change everything you know about culture, the economy, and the world. According to Mauro F. Guillen, the only way to truly understand the global transformations underway-and their impacts-is to think laterally. That is, using "peripheral vision," or approaching problems creatively and from unorthodox points of view. Rather than focusing on a single trend-climate-change or the rise of illiberal regimes, for example-Guillen encourages us to consider the dynamic inter-play between a range of forces that will converge on a single tipping point-2030-that will be, for better or worse, the point of no return. 2030 is both a remarkable guide to the coming changes and an exercise in the power of "lateral thinking," thereby revolutionizing the way you think about cataclysmic change and its consequences
"A New Era in Banking: The Landscape After the Battle identifies the main drivers of change at the heart of this wholesale transformation of the financial services industry. It examines the complex challenge for financial institutions to de-risk business models, reconnect with customers, and approach stakeholder value creation"--
In The Platform Paradox, Wharton professor Mauro F. Guillen argues that many platforms misunderstand key aspects of what it takes to succeed globally, from culture and institutions to local competitive dynamics.

In today’s world, the acceleration of megatrends -- increasing longevity and the explosion of technology among many others -- are transforming life as we now know it. In The Perennials, bestselling author of 2030 Mauro Guillén unpacks a sweeping societal shift triggered by demographic and technological transformation. Guillén argues that outmoded terms like Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have long been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages, artificially preventing people from reaching their full potential. A new postgenerational workforce known as “perennials'' -- individuals who are not pitted against each other either by their age or experience -- makes it possible to liberate scores of people from the constraints of the sequential model of life and level the playing field so that everyone has a chance at living a rewarding life. This multigenerational revolution is already happening and Mauro Guillén identifies the specific cultural, organizational and policy changes that need to be made in order to switch to a new template and usher in a new era of innovation powered by The Perennials.
2ª edición. La regresión múltiple es quizás el método estadístico empleado con mayor frecuencia en las ciencias sociales. En este cuaderno se introducen los supuestos y técnicas básicas. El enfoque es aplicado, con ejemplos prácticos y presentaciones gráficas. Se abordan también los últimos avances realizados en estadística tales como la regresión logística para variables categóricas y los modelos de riesgos proporcionales para datos longitudinales. A lo largo de toda la exposición se recalca la necesidad de conjugar la teoría, la imaginación sociológica y la metodología para superar los numerosos problemas que se presentan en toda investigación empírica en ciencias sociales.
