Economics in One Virus: An Introduction to Economic Reasoning through COVID-19
English | April 27, 2021 | ISBN: 1952223067 | EPUB/PDF | 304 pages | 2.3/2.7 MB
Author: Ryan A. Bourne

Have you ever stopped to wonder why hand sanitizer was missing from your pharmacy for months after the COVID-19 pandemic hit? Why some employers and employees were arguing over workers being re-hired during the first COVID-19 lockdown? Why passenger airlines were able to get their own ring-fenced bailout from Congress?

Economics in One Virus answers all these pandemic-related questions and many more, drawing on the dramatic events of 2020 to bring to life some of the most important principles of economic thought. Packed with supporting data and the best new academic evidence, those uninitiated in economics will be given a crash-course in the subject through the applied case-study of the COVID-19 pandemic, to help explain everything from why the U.S. was underprepared for the pandemic to how economists go about valuing the lives saved from lockdowns.

After digesting this highly readable, fast-paced, and provocative virus-themed economic tour, readers will be able to make much better sense of the events that they've lived through. Perhaps more importantly, the insights on everything from the role of the price mechanism to trade and specialization will grant even those wholly new to economics the skills to think like an economist in their own lives and when evaluating the choices of their political leaders.

Impacts and Implications for the Sports Industry in the Post-COVID-19 Era
by Faganel Armand
English | ISBN: 1799867803 | 2021 | 304 pages | PDF / True EPUB | 8 MB / 20.5 MB

The sports industry had impressive global growth over the years, with factors from the introduction of e\-sports and new streaming and viewing methods to sponsorships and digital media contributing to its rise. However, the COVID\-19 pandemic brought upon a rapid change in this sector. Sports\x27 seasons ended abruptly, peoples escape from reality suddenly vanished, their spending attitudes changed, live games and commercial flights were suspended, hotels were impossible to book, and consumers practically turned into prisoners within their own homes. No live sports matches were to follow on any media either, so specialized sports channels were forced to play old recordings rather than broadcasting new events. Even athletes themselves struggle to stay relevant and thus, try to utilize creative methods to enhance their brand value in these difficult times. With most of the sports leagues shut down during the pandemic, with a few exceptions which performed in empty venues, the restrictions diminished the sports experience compared to the pre\-COVID\-19 era and the impacts were widespread.<\/p>
Impacts and Implications for the Sports Industry in the Post\-COVID\-19 Era<\/b> explores the changes that have been and will continue to be created by the unexpected disruptions that occurred as a result of the pandemic within the sports industry, fans consumption, and recreational habits. The chapters explore the status of sports after the pandemic, paths to recovery, and the future of sports, along with the many impacts and issues that have arisen due to changes in the industry necessitated by COVID\-19. Covering important topics such as mental health, impacts on athletes and coaches, the market value for professional sports, consumer behavior during COVID\-19, and the changes in marketing, tourism, and business, this book is ideally intended for sports managers, marketers, broadcasting agencies, media specialists, brand managers, fitness professionals, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the impacts on the sports industry and the outlook for sports in the post\-COVID\-19 era.

Digital Prospecting in the digital world: B2B Sales After Covid-19- How to systematically generate new leads, build trust and book new meetings while working from home.
by Thukral, Kapil
English | 2021 | ISBN: B098KJL14J | 150 pages | pdf, epub, azw3 | 48.49 MB

Digital Prospecting instantly became #1 best-selling book during the pre-launch. Updated with Version 2. Outsold Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella, Simon Sinek, Seth Godin, Daniel Kahneman, Subroto Bagchi, Jeb Blount, Ben Horowitz and many more accomplished authors on Day-2 of pre-launch.

Digital Prospecting differs from Digital Meeting. A digital meeting is more about using communication tools and gadgets like a meeting platform, camera placement, light placement, what mic to use, but before all these things in the first place, you need to have a prospect with whom you can set a digital meeting.

Nothing happens without a prospect, and today's challenge is as a B2B seller how will you get new prospects and book new meetings while working from home? Business development has become a real challenge in the new normal.

And just like that, everything changed on March 25, 2020, India's first nationwide lockdown.

It was a global pandemic, and the global pandemic hit everyone but the frontline faced the most heat especially the health care, but there was one more category of frontline that faced the equal heat and they were B2B sellers, solo-business owners, people who were responsible to bring new leads, new prospects, new meetings to fill the top of the funnel. Because a new era started, an era of social distancing and work from home.

And in this book, or should I say the B2B digital sales transformation playbook, I am going to demonstrate how you can prospect digitally in the digital world and develop new business opportunities while working from home.

To increase the sales effectiveness and shorten the learning curve, in the digital prospecting book, I have added digital sales strategies, images of real results, worksheets and templates that will show you how you can get new leads, build trust and book new meetings by using free digital tools like Google and social media networks.

By the end of this book, you will enable the digital seller within you and learn how you can fill the top of the funnel with new leads and prospects because work from home is here to stay and this will add the sales pressure on the frontlines B2B sellers.

And digital prospecting strategies will help you to ease the sales pressure that will directly bring a work-life balance to all the B2B sellers and solo-business owners.

Calling Out COVID-19: Business Strategies for Surviving a 'Pompeii Event'
by Faisal Sheikh (Author), Nigel Krishna Iyer (Author), Brian Leigh (Author), Geetha A. Rubasundram (Author)
English | ISBN: 9781637420515 | 2021 | 128 pages | EPUB | 1 MB

This book is written for business owners, entrepreneurs, leadership, or management teams in public or third sector and professionals who are currently dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic.
We are currently experiencing the second wave of an unprecedented global pandemic-the COVID-19 crisis, which is destroying established industries such as tourism and attributing to the death of millions of people worldwide. The authors believe that the pandemic is analogous to the ancient Roman tragedy of Pompeii when the citadel was buried under four to six meters (13 to 20 feet) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.

This book is written for business owners, entrepreneurs, leadership, or management teams in public or third sector and professionals who are currently dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic. It offers tools and techniques located in the economics of innovation, other frameworks such as the Fraud Triangle, and the authors extensive experience including rigorous cash management, practical fraud prevention, and detection and advice on implementing and refining corporate governance structures. The book will also be of interest to postgraduate including MBA students and business researchers.

The book concludes by summarizing the key theories that can be used to understand the impact of this Pompeii Event and pragmatic solutions to fight COVID-19. The authors argue that organizations rooted in foresight will survive and emerge as future trail blazers. An extensive appendix is also included which outlines the implications for financial reporting.

English | 2020 | ISBN: 0895671964 | 370 pages | EPUB | 0.49 MB

In January 2020, China alerted major international scientific bodies about the eruption of a dangerous new virus and heavily promoted basic precautions. U.S. politicians and corporate media ridiculed and ignored the warnings.Washington ramped up its policy of racist propaganda, military encirclement, trade war and sanctions. The consequence, tens of thousands of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. - the highest in the world.Rather than global cooperation on testing, vaccine development and PPE supplies, the U.S. chose competition, profits and military build-up.Even with fewer resources, socialist countries, including Cuba and Vietnam, using people's mobilizations, were better prepared to protect their populations. Their death rates are among the lowest. What can we learn?An anthology by social justice activists. Edited by: Sara Flounders & Lee Siu Hin

Social Simulation for a Crisis: Results and Lessons from Simulating the COVID-19 Crisis (Computational Social Sciences)
by Frank Dignum
English | 467 pages | Springer; 1st ed. 2021 edition (June 9, 2021) | 303076396X | PDF | 23.48 Mb

Simulating for a crisis is far more than creating a simulation of a crisis situation. In order for a simulation to be useful during a crisis, it should be created within the space of a few days to allow decision makers to use it as quickly as possible. Furthermore, during a crisis the aim is not to optimize just one factor, but to balance various, interdependent aspects of life. In the COVID-19 crisis, decisions had to be made concerning e.g. whether to close colleges and restaurants, and the (economic) consequences of a 3 or 4-week lock-down had to be considered. As such, rather than one simulation focusing on a very limited aspect, a framework allowing the simulation of several different scenarios focusing on different aspects of the crisis was required. Moreover, the results of the simulations needed to be easily understandable and explainable: if a simulation indicates that closing colleges has no effect, this can only be used if the decision makers can explain why this is the case.

This book describes how a simulation framework was created for the COVID-19 crisis, and demonstrates how it was used to simulate a wide range of scenarios that were relevant for decision makers at the time. It also discusses the usefulness of the approach, and explains the decisions that had to be made along the way as well as the trade-offs. Lastly, the book examines the lessons learned and the directions for the further development of social simulation frameworks to make them better suited to crisis situations, and to foster a more resilient society.

Care After Covid: What the Pandemic Revealed Is Broken in Healthcare and How to Reinvent It by Shantanu Nundy
English | May 4th, 2021 | ISBN: 1264259123 | 272 pages | True EPUB | 0.53 MB

A practical action plan for reinventing healthcare in a post-pandemic world-from a physician-entrepreneur who works with Fortune 500 companies.

If the healthcare system were an emperor, Covid-19 tragically revealed that it had no clothes. Healthcare had to adapt, and quickly―sparking a dramatic acceleration of virtual care, drive-through testing, and home-based services. In the process, old rules were rewritten and, perhaps surprisingly, largely in a good way for patients. To succeed in the post-pandemic world, all of us―patients, caregivers, providers, employers, investors, technologists, and policymakers―need to understand the new healthcare landscape and change our strategies and behaviors accordingly.

In Care After Covid, practicing physician and business leader Dr. Shantanu Nundy-Chief Medical Officer of Accolade, which provides technology-enabled health services to Fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses―lays out a comprehensive plan to transform healthcare along three dimensions:
• Distributed: healthcare will happen where health happens. It will shift from where doctors are to where patients are-at home, in the community, and increasingly on their phones.
• Digitally enabled: healthcare and the relationships that are central to care will be strengthened by data and technology. It will shift from being siloed to connected, from being episodic to continuous, from one-size-fits-all to more personalized.
• Decentralized: healthcare decisions and resources will be in the hands of those closest to care. The power to determine who gets care and how they get it will shift away from governments and insurance companies to communities, employers, doctors, and patients.

Filled with firsthand insights and stories from the frontlines of healthcare-as well as innovative solutions that were proven effective before and during the pandemic-Care After Covid shows all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem exactly what needs to change and, more importantly, how to do it. The time to act is now. We can't afford not to.

Gerard Delanty, "Pandemics, Politics, and Society: Critical Perspectives on the Covid-19 Crisis"
English | ISBN: 3110713233 | 2021 | 190 pages | PDF | 1306 KB

This volume is an important contribution to our understanding of global pandemics in general and Covid-19 in particular. It brings together the reflections of leading social and political scientists who are interested in the implications and significance of the current crisis for politics and society.
The chapters provide both analysis of the social and political dimensions of the Coronavirus pandemic and historical contextualization as well as perspectives beyond the crisis. The volume seeks to focus on Covid-19 not simply as the terrain of epidemiology or public health, but as raising fundamental questions about the nature of social, economic and political processes. The problems of contemporary societies have become intensified as a result of the pandemic. Understanding the pandemic is as much a sociological question as it is a biological one, since viral infections are transmitted through social interaction. In many ways, the pandemic poses fundamental existential as well as political questions about social life as well as exposing many of the inequalities in contemporary societies. As the chapters in this volume show, epidemiological issues and sociological problems are elucidated in many ways around the themes of power, politics, security, suffering, equality and justice.
This is a cutting edge and accessible volume on the Covid-19 pandemic with chapters on topics such as the nature and limits of expertise, democratization, emergency government, digitalization, social justice, globalization, capitalist crisis, and the ecological crisis.

Cass R. Sunstein, "Averting Catastrophe: Decision Theory for COVID-19, Climate Change, and Potential Disasters of All Kinds"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1479808482 | 176 pages | EPUB | 0.45 MB

Best-selling author Cass R. Sunstein examines how to avoid worst-case scenarios

The world is increasingly confronted with new challenges related to climate change, globalization, disease, and technology. Governments are faced with having to decide how much risk is worth taking, how much destruction and death can be tolerated, and how much money should be invested in the hopes of avoiding catastrophe. Lacking full information, should decision-makers focus on avoiding the most catastrophic outcomes? When should extreme measures be taken to prevent as much destruction as possible?

Averting Catastrophe explores how governments ought to make decisions in times of imminent disaster. Cass R. Sunstein argues that using the "maximin rule," which calls for choosing the approach that eliminates the worst of the worst-case scenarios, may be necessary when public officials lack important information, and when the worst-case scenario is too disastrous to contemplate. He underscores this argument by emphasizing the reality of "Knightian uncertainty," found in circumstances in which it is not possible to assign probabilities to various outcomes. Sunstein brings foundational issues in decision theory in close contact with real problems in regulation, law, and daily life, and considers other potential future risks. At once an approachable introduction to decision-theory and a provocative argument for how governments ought to handle risk, Averting Catastrophe offers a definitive path forward in a world rife with uncertainty.

This book presents a sociological study of the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of India.

COVID-19: Separating Fact from Fiction by Anirban Mahapatra
2021 | ASIN : B08X4VV3L1, eISBN: 9788195084340 | English | 254 pages | AZW3 | 0.8 MB

In early 2020, our lives were upended by a new virus that caused the most severe pandemic in over a century. In the span of a few weeks, even visiting a grocery store became a task in risk assessment. Cities and countries across the world closed their borders for their own citizens, as well as foreigners. Newspapers carried alarming accounts of rapidly rising numbers of COVID-positive cases, patients dying and migrant labourers desperately trying to reach home. One was struck every single day with the realization that the pandemic was not just a biological phenomenon, but also a social one.

Where did this virus, first called the novel coronavirus and later SARS coronavirus-2, come from? Did we see it coming? If so, why weren't we better prepared for it? How lethal is it really? How can we protect ourselves from it? How will the pandemic end? What will life be like once it is over?

In this meticulously researched book, Anirban Mahapatra demystifies the virus and offers us a historical perspective. He charts the scientific progress made in understanding how the virus infects us and how we fight back, and also looks at the social tensions it has uncovered. In doing so, he offers us a clarity that enables us not only to understand the virus but also live with it.
