Suddenly Silicon Valley, not NASA, was the epicentre of the new Space Age. Start-ups and investors began to realise that the heavens - ungoverned and unregulated - were open for business. When the Heavens Went on Sale tells the remarkable, unfolding story of this frenzied race to control access to outer space. Ashlee Vance follows four pioneering companies - Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs and Rocket Lab - as they attempt to launch thousands of low-cost rockets and satellites into orbit. While the space tourism ambitions of billionaires such as Bezos and Branson make headlines, these under-the-radar companies are striving to monetise Earth's lower orbit; to connect, analyse and monitor everything on Earth. With unprecedented access to private company headquarters, labs and top-secret launch locations - from the US to New Zealand, Ukraine to India - Vance presents a gripping account of private jets, communes, gun-toting bodyguards, drugs, espionage investigations and multimillionaires guzzling booze as their fortunes disappear. This is the most pressing and controversial technology story of our time, a tale of fascinating characters chasing unimaginable stakes. Welcome to the new Wild West above the clouds. ©2023 Ashlee Vance (P)2023 Penguin Audio

An 'authoritative, gripping and finely detailed narrative that charts the decline of one of the great American companies' (New York Times Book Review), from the award-winning reporter for Bloomberg. Boeing is a century-old titan of industry. It played a major role in the early days of commercial flight, World War II bombing missions, and moon landings. The planemaker remains a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, as well as a linchpin in the awesome routine of modern air travel. But in 2018 and 2019, two crashes of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 killed 346 people. The crashes exposed a shocking pattern of malfeasance, leading to the biggest crisis in the company’s history—and one of the costliest corporate scandals ever.    How did things go so horribly wrong at Boeing?   Flying Blind is the definitive exposé of the disasters that transfixed the world. Drawing from exclusive interviews with current and former employees of Boeing and the FAA; industry executives and analysts; and family members of the victims, it reveals how a broken corporate culture paved the way for catastrophe. It shows how in the race to beat the competition and reward top executives, Boeing skimped on testing, pressured employees to meet unrealistic deadlines, and convinced regulators to put planes into service without properly equipping them or their pilots for flight. It examines how the company, once a treasured American innovator, became obsessed with the bottom line, putting shareholders over customers, employees, and communities.   By Bloomberg investigative journalist Peter Robison, who covered Boeing as a beat reporter during the company’s fateful merger with McDonnell Douglas in the late ‘90s, this is the story of a business gone wildly off course. At once riveting and disturbing, it shows how an iconic company fell prey to a win-at-all-costs mentality, threatening an industry and endangering countless lives.

[Spanish] - El crash. Tercera fase by Santiago Niño-Becerra

Tercera fase Author: Santiago Niño-Becerra Narrator: Juan Magraner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 1, 2021 Genres: Business & Career Development Publisher's Summary: La crisis no es lo que nos han contado, dice Niño-Becerra en su nuevo libro. No es una recesión de la que nos estamos recuperando. Hubo cierta recuperación, pero solo del PIB, no del empleo. Pero el problema no es ese. El problema es que la crisis no ha terminado todavía, y que nos quedan unos cuantos años, seguramente hasta 2023 o más. Y las consecuencias supondrán un cambio en nuestra forma de vida. A lo que se suman otros problemas como los avances de la Inteligencia Artificial, de la producción aditiva (con impresores 3D), la crisis ecológica que supone la conciencia de que los recursos no durarán eternamente. La suma de todos estos fenómenos apunta a que el mundo está cambiando de modelo. No de sistema, porque se mantendrá el sistema capitalista. Pero el capitalismo cambiará. El mundo cambiará. - Santiago Niño-Becerra (Barcelona, 1951) es doctor en Economía. Y uno de los especialistas en su campo más conocidos de España, gracias a su frecuente participación como comentarista en numerosos medios. Hasta 1991 trabajó en el mundo empresarial, sobre todo en el sector siderúrgico. Luego se consagró a la enseñanza. Es catedrático de Estructura Económica de la IQS School of Management (Universidad Ramon Llull) y autor de varios libros centrados siempre en el mundo de la economía, y con ventas que superan los 150 000 ejemplares, una cifra realmente excepcional para un autor tan especializado. Pero su capacidad pedagógica y el hecho de que hablara de la crisis, y de la dimensión enorme que iba a tener, desde 2007-2008, le han proporcionado un prestigio y una posición muy singular entre los especialistas. Ha sido traducido al neerlandés y al portugués. El crash del 2010, Más allá del crash y Diario del crash forman una serie de libros dedicados al estallido de la crisis, al estudio de sus causas y la visión de su dimensión, alcance y duración. Su nuevo libro, El crash. Tercera Fase, supone el cierre de lo que ahora constituye una tetralogía. Niño-Becerra publicó posteriormente el singular ensayo histórico: La economía. Una Historia muy personal, un relato que explica la evolución de la economía a través de los siglos, construido a partir de las voces de sus propios protagonistas (empresarios, sindicalistas, inventores de tecnología, especialistas, etcétera); así como Mails, un libro que recoge su correspondencia electrónica con algunos de sus muchísimos seguidores. El éxito de sus libros le llevó muy pronto a que solicitaran su colaboración en diversos medios. Son muy conocidas sus intervenciones en programas de televisión como La Sexta Noche y Tot es mou (TV3), radiofónicos como La ventana y Versiò Rac1 y otros muchos. A menudo le consultan también medios internacionales como Le Figaro, Euronews, Russia Today y otros. Ha escrito más de 3 500 artículos. Actualmente pueden leerse en su web: www.sninobecerra.com y también se le puede seguir en su cuenta de Twitter (@sninobecerra), que supera los 160 000 lectores, y crece de manera constante.

Many business owners are frustrated because they feel invisible in a crowded marketplace. They know they are better than their competitors, but when they focus on that fact, they get little in return. That's because, to customers, better is not actually better. Different is better. And those who market differently, win. In his new marketing book, Mike Michalowicz offers a proven, no-bullsh*t method to position your business, service, or brand to get noticed, attract the best prospects, and convert those opportunities into sales. Told with the same humor and straight-talk that's gained Michalowicz an army of ardent followers, with actionable insights drawn from stories of real life entrepreneurs, this book lays out a simple, doable system based on three critical questions every entrepreneur and business owner must ask about their marketing: 1. Does it differentiate? 2. Does it attract? 3. Does it direct? Get Different is a game-changer for everyone who struggles to grow because their brand, message, product or service doesn't stand out and connect with customers--the long-anticipated answer to the defining business challenge of our time. *This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing charts, marketing tools, Get Different experiment sheets, and more.
