The service process design landscape is rapidly evolving, with technology-enabled innovations allowing the service provider to create a more personalized service experience and customers to take a more active role in the service process.Designing Service Processes to Unlock Value was written to help you understand the opportunities (and challenges) for value creation in this dynamic environment. You will learn about approaches for designing all types of service processes, as well as the unique challenges of designing knowledge-intensive services. And because service performance outcomes are dependent on the knowledge, skills, and abilities—that is, capabilities of both service providers and customers, the book concludes with strategies for unlocking these capabilities to further boost value co-creation.This edition was being revised when artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) was being embedded in more and more service processes ranging from knowledge-intensive professional services to transactional services we engage with every day.Much like the COVID-19 global pandemic, AI and other developing technologies such as robots, extended reality, digital twins, Internet of Things, and other smart technologies, will continue to have profound impacts on how services are designed, delivered, and experienced by service providers and customers, as well as the communities and world in which we live.This edition includes new and updated examples of technology-enabled innovations that provide unprecedented flexibility in service process design and continue to transform how service providers and customers co-produce services. At the same time, you will see how these and other service innovations can have important—and sometimes surprising—impacts on the benefit and cost trade-offs and synergies that determine value co-creation.

The untold story: creating simple high value innovations.This book presents a five-step method to create high worth non-technical innovations through:Focus on simplicity (which as said is the ultimate sophistication);Opportunities that come to us(instead of having actively to look for them);Adapting solutions already in use elsewhere (rather than constructing them anew);Testing consumers actions and emotions (in lieu of words or thoughts); and finallyEntering the market in an inexpensive way and with minimal risk.Examples are numerous. Some are unicorns (valued at one or more billion dollars): Spanx, Rent the Runway, Dollar Shave Club, GymShark, Gousto, Athletic Greens, Havaianas, etc.Others are in the multitude of millions: Knix, Drop Stop, Pouchee, Lisa Gable Accessories, Readerest, SafeGrabs, Chawel and so on.This book presents what is common among hundreds of such innovations, shared by all in a sequence of steps called the PISA method.So, in a certain sense this book was written by those entrepreneurs who achieved financial independence and changed the lives of others by solving complexity through simplicity.That is the quiet revolution underway which falls below the radar and therefore is an untold story.

Deception and Financial Mayhem explores whether the corporate psychopath accountant can be identified, modeled, and ultimately constrained.This book extensively discusses accounting fraud, including recent accounting scandals, and its relationship with Corporate Governance. Major accounting fraud models, including The Fraud Triangle, are examined and the lens of The Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy) is also presented to better understand the perpetrators of accounting fraud.Utilizing the Levenson’s Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, a multiple regression model known as the 'Corporate Psychopath Equation' is proposed to potentially identify psychopathic tendencies in accountants and auditors. The foundational aspects of blockchain technology are covered along with its potential to prevent accounting fraud.The authors outline automation technologies and 'People-Centric Approaches’, including the Sheikh Maniar Crowe Anti-Fraud Culture Builder–which can potentially foster an ethical culture and deter accounting fraud until the blockchain technology becomes ubiquitous. Finally, perpetual vigilance is advised, even as the specter of the corporate psychopath accountant may diminish.

Leading Together: Unlocking Relational Leadership Mastery explores the shifts in workplace dynamics and leadership paradigms in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. The book reveals how traditional hierarchical models fall short in addressing modern organizational challenges and argues for a leadership approach focused on collective efforts and deep, authentic relationships through Relational Leadership theory.Grounded in rigorous academic research and practical insights, this book is a hands-on guide for leaders seeking to build engaging, high-performing cultures. The relational leadership model, highlighted in this book, moves beyond outdated leader-follower manager-subordinate dynamics, advocating for leadership as a shared process where all stakeholders feel valued, and feel the company adds value to them rather than just expecting it from them.In a world reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, technological advancements, and shifting labor dynamics—where The Great Resignation, massive turnover, Quiet Hiring, worsening engagement, rising toxic cultures, and demands for psychological safety at workplace dominate discussions—the book offers insights for leaders to navigate uncertainty, foster positive, trust-based cultures, and achieve sustainable success.

You’ve heard the promises of data: if you just unlock the hidden insights, you can win an unfair game. But for people at most companies, friction prevents data from flowing effortlessly into decisions. Technology alone won’t make the connection for you. Neither will finding more data; you’ve already got plenty. To connect data with decisions, you’ll need to reverse the way data flows through all your systems and decisions.If you’re a business decision-maker – a CEO, CIO, or CxO – you’ll see the connection between a data strategy and the thousands of decisions people in your company make every day. If you’re a data worker, you’ll see how your work changes the direction of a company. And if you’re an analyst – someone who bridges the gap between top-level decision makers and what’s really happening in the business – you’ll find a new vision of how to use data to transform your job and your company.Instead of new technology offering tired promises to make your job easier, you’ll find management solutions for better, faster decisions. Unified data flowing through your company, to everyone at the same time, improving business decisions through alignment and visibility, trust and scale.That’s Frictionless Decision Data.

This book navigates us through thick and thin and gives us a holistic description of what is supply chain resilience, which are the factors that affect it, and which are the most effective resilience strategies that we need to implement in our supply chains in order to survive during turbulent times. In a world where pandemics, natural disasters, climate change, and wars are only some of the disruptions that supply chains are facing, resiliency has become the alpha and the omega of supply chain management.This book navigates us through thick and thin and gives us a holistic description of what is supply chain resilience, which are the factors that affect it, and which are the most effective resilience strategies that we need to implement in our supply chains in order to survive during turbulent times.The book is divided into three distinct parts. In the first one discusses the term supply chain resilience–its importance, its components, and the most important supply chain resilience metrics. The author presents real life examples of well-known companies which were successful in enhancing the resilience of their supply chains. The second part presents all the factors that can influence the resilience of a supply chain and concludes with discussions of seventeen supply chain resilience strategies which can be used by almost any company, in any industry, in any part of the world.This holistic approach on supply chain resilience makes this book unique. At the end of each chapter, professors will find a dedicated part which will assist them in managing their in-class interaction with students. This book can be used as an academic compendium or as a guide for supply chain professionals who want to cement the resilience of their supply chains and successfully navigate through crisis.
