Chapter 7 describes Headen’s difficulties expanding his coalition strategy as he moved from auto manufacturing to auto racing in the mid-1920s. Documented are his reconfiguration of the Afro-American Automobile Association to focus on dirt-track racing; his career as an auto racer and race promoter; and internal rifts within his coalition based on gender, professional competition, and religious and political differences. The chapter explores defections from the coalition by women and religious figures, upset over the switch from a business model dedicated to racial advancement to a track culture steeped in profanity, alcohol, and danger; departures by political conservatives upset over the selection of a prominent black nationalist as the Association’s publicist; and Headen’s rejection by fellow race organizers competing directly with him for audiences. These internal conflicts, which eventually splintered both the Association and Headen’s marriage, ultimately revealed the limits of the “coalition economics” model.

This book explains how judges on the UK Supreme Court behave. It looks at different stages in the court's decision-making process—from the initial selection of cases, to the choice of judges to sit on panels, to the final outcome. The main argument of the book is that judges' behavior is strongly affected by their specialism in different areas of law. Cases in tax law (or family law, or public law) are more likely to be heard by specialists in that area, and those specialists are more likely to write the court's decision—or disagree with the decision when there is dissent. Legal factors like specialization in areas of law explains more of the court's work than do political differences between judges.

This paper examines Google’s green discourse in relation to the ecomodernist movement and $2 . In recent years, tech companies such as Google have taken a more explicit position as actors in the ‘fight’ against the climate crisis. Tech companies often suggest technological innovation as a necessity to deal with the climate crisis, thereby attempting to develop a form of ‘green platform capitalism’ that presents us with a better, greener version of its business model. This paper presents a rhetorical analysis of a selection of the corporate discourse (2019-now) in which Google presents its environmental efforts, in order to understand how the company frames the relation between technology and nature. It argues that technology-nature relations are framed through ‘decoupling’, a term derived from the ecomodernist movement that functions as a rhetorical strategy to highlight positive connections between technology and nature and obscure uneasy connections. Through decoupling, Google is able to present its wish to save ‘nature’ without discussing its use of nature, thus legitimating green platform capitalism. Decoupling, the paper concludes, thus allows Google to create a narrative of green growth as the only logical way for humanity to move forward. While this narrative might be attractive, it does not question the feasibility of decoupling and conflicts with resolutions that centralize degrowth as answer to the climate crisis.

Introduction. The core of the organization is its business model, which is based on various capitals, understood as resources, and through its commercial activities turns them into products (goods, services, by-products and waste). The activities of the organization and its products lead to results in terms of impact on capital. The ability of a business model to adapt to change (for example, the availability, quality, and availability of resources) can affect the long- term viability of an organization. Misunderstanding of the content of the business model by practitioners leads to the fact that the reflection of the business model in the integrated reporting of both domestic and foreign companies is not uniform. The implementation of the above issue will provide an appropriate author's approach to the interpretation of the business model in integrated reporting, as well as a detailed analysis of its components. Therefore, the topical issue will be the reflection of the business model in the integrated reporting of foreign and domestic enterprises. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to determine the essence of the business model in integrated reporting, as well as analysis of its components, provided by foreign and domestic enterprises. Methods. The following methods were used during the study: analysis and synthesis (disclosure of the economic essence of the business model in integrated reporting); grouping (selection of approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the business model in the scientific works of researchers); observation (selection of foreign and domestic enterprises that reflect the business model in integrated reporting); logical generalization of results (formulation of conclusions). Results. In the course of the study, the author's approach to defining the essence of the business model in integrated reporting was formed, based on the grouping of approaches in the scientific works of foreign and domestic authors. A business model in integrated reporting is a description of an enterprise's activities, reveals its resources (capital) with the help of which value is created, and also the value of an enterprise is formed during its activities. Discussion. Further research is proposed to focus on the value creation process in integrated reporting. This will allow us to understand how the enterprise creates value for society as a whole, and for individual stakeholders.

Many schools in Aotearoa New Zealand have joined Communities of Learning (Kahui Ako), to access funding for professional development and student support. A business model for management of these Communities of Learning has been transcribed over what were already very functional clusters of collaborative schools. This article questions the allocation of roles, the criteria for selection of experts in these roles, and whether the implementation of the CoLs has led to groupthink, and therefore an unintentional retention of the status quo.

Transformation from electronic commerce business model to social commerce business model empowered manufacturers of niche products to start retail businesses which are operating solely online. The selection of an online sales approach is a part of the online sales process which determines how end customers will be reached. Moreover, the online sales approach determines performance outcome, hence, this selection should be done after meticulous evaluation. This research, after a systematic comparative analysis of the academic literature, explores the omnichannel online sales approach and its relationship with performance outcome in the case of niche products and proposes a theoretical framework for the evaluation of this relationship. The theoretical framework includes financial and qualitative (customer satisfaction and customer loyalty) criteria which allow to evaluate performance outcome created by the omnichannel online sales approach in a holistic way. The performance outcome evaluation results can be used in the decision-making process when deciding whether the chosen omnichannel online sales approach meets the expectations of a business and its customers.
