On 2 November 2023, in one of the largest fraud trials in history, Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty of stealing billions of dollars from the customers of his crypto-exchange, FTX. How did this 31-year-old Californian in shorts and a T-shirt manage to become one of the most famous CEOs in the world? How did greed, fear and free money inflate the crypto bubble until it finally popped with devastating consequences for millions of people who lost money in the crash? Who were the enablers, investors and innovators who transformed the original promise of crypto into a digital Wild West? Hype Machine is the definitive story of the boom and bust of crypto, written by award-winning Financial Times journalist Joshua Oliver. Expansive, nuanced and eminently entertaining, it demystifies the crypto circus by following the journeys of its most influential participants and the trajectory of SBF, its enigmatic ringmaster. Oliver, who reported on the crypto crash with extensive access to SBF himself, introduces readers to the people and ideas that shaped crypto's wild rise and fall, including Arthur Hayes, Changpeng Zhao and the coterie of acolytes who surrounded FTX. Through exclusive interviews, compelling research and with ringside seats at the trial of the decade, he paints a vivid, detailed and tragi-comic picture of this defining financial moment of our times.

Z úvodu ke knize... Ocenění podniku je syntézou podnikohospodářských oborů, ve které by se měly skloubit rozsáhlé poznatky podnikové ekonomiky, disciplín zaměřených na trh, daní a vlastních metod oceňování. Oceňování podniku je tedy svým způsobem královská disciplína a není jednoduché ji ovládnout skutečně do hloubky. Navíc se jedná o oblast, která se stále pohybuje vpřed, a není mnoho ekonomických témat, kterým bylo ve světě věnováno tolik publikací, jako právě oceňování podniku. Předkládaná kniha se snaží jít do větší hloubky a volně navázat na předchozí publikaci Mařík M. a kol.: Metody oceňování podniku – proces ocenění, základní postupy a metody, Ekopress. Návaznost je poměrně volná. V této publikaci už nejsou znovu vykládány základní věci, ale snažili jsme se text psát tak, aby byl pochopitelný i sám o sobě pro čtenáře, který má alespoň základní představu o oceňování. Jádrem publikace je hlubší pohled na výnosové metody. Proto sem zařazujeme vysvětlení několika základních variant metody DCF včetně podrobnějšího rozboru tématu zatím u nás přehlíženého, a tím je tzv. pokračující hodnota. Vracíme se rovněž k metodě ekonomické přidané hodnoty a rozebíráme některé problémy s ní spojené. Za jedno z hlavních témat je pak možno považovat analýzu vlivu zadlužení podniku na jeho hodnotu a na způsoby stanovení struktury kapitálu při ocenění podniku. Snažíme se ukázat, že struktura kapitálu vyjádřená v tržních hodnotách je klíčovým bodem pro dosažení shody výsledků jednotlivých výnosových metod. Rozsáhlejší pasáž je pak věnována komplexnímu rozboru vztahů mezi hlavními výnosovými metodami, kterými jsou různé varianty metody DCF, metoda EVA a také metoda kapitalizovaných čistých výnosů, která je u nás poměrně často používána, bohužel ale nesprávně. Značnou pozornost věnujeme i metodám odhadu diskontní míry včetně základních principů, na kterých by měl být tento odhad postaven. Například očekáváme, že do budoucnosti poroste význam alternativních odhadů bezrizikové výnosnosti, odhadů nákladů vlastního kapitálu ex-ante a metody jistotních ekvivalentů, a proto jim věnujeme značný prostor. V posledních částech knihy se zabýváme oceňováním specifických typů podniků, tedy oceňování koncernů a podniků s omezenou perspektivou. Samostatnou kapitolu pak věnujeme dalšímu prohloubení záležitosti, která činí v našich podmínkách značné problémy, a tou jsou diskonty a prémie při oceňování podniku. V tomto třetím vydání publikace byly oproti předchozím dvěma vydáním provedeny tyto úpravy: - průběžné aktualizace ve stávajícím textu, - návrh postupu při odhadu konkrétní výše diskontní míry pro úrokové daňové štíty (rozšíření kapitoly 5.3), - rozpracování kompletní sady reagenčních funkcí pro přepočet zadlužených koeficientů beta (kapitola 5.4); v současnosti v odborných publikacích i v praxi stále převažuje používání poměrně nevhodné funkce, proto považujeme za potřebné předložit funkce lepší, - rozšíření kapitoly 12.2 pojednávající o odhadu rizikové prémie kapitálového trhu postupem ex-ante, protože podle našeho názoru světová oceňovací praxe vykazuje viditelné tendence k přechodu od historických rizikových prémií právě tímto směrem. Věříme, že tato kniha pomůže dále kultivovat znaleckou praxi v České republice a bude i vhodnou pomůckou pro studium oceňování podniku, a to jak na vysokých školách, tak pro praktikující znalce.

The bestselling, influential author of The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee explains how engineers and geeks are changing the world of business - with extraordinary results. We're living in a time of amazing innovation, but we're not paying enough attention to one of the most important of all: the innovation to the company itself. A new model is being pioneered by geeks; a radical new mindset that has shifted the paradigm entirely on what a business can - and should - be. They do not follow the rules of the Industrial era, with their hierarchies and bureaucratic ways of thinking. They do not follow the principles preached in business schools since the dawn of time. They have all dedicated themselves to approaching business as a geek would: through trial and error, egalitarianism, evidence and stress-testing ideas in a group setting - rather than relying on the boss's instincts. By investigating and surveying the contemporary research in psychology, economics and the behavioural sciences, as well as first-hand accounts from the 'geek' leaders of today, McAfee's groundbreaking exploration of this emerging phenomenon gets to the heart of the tectonic shifts taking place all over the business world. We have entered a new age. And this age will transform how we achieve great things, now and into the future. The future is geek.

We have long been suspicious of corporations recklessly pursuing profit and amassing wealth and power. But the story of the corporation didn't have to be like this. For most of history, they were not amoral entities, but public institutions designed to promote the societies that granted them charter. Magnuson reveals how the corporation has evolved since its beginnings in the ancient world. What happens in this next chapter of the global economy depends on whether we can return to their public-minded spirit, or whether we have sunk irrevocably into the swamp of high profit at all costs. Epic and compelling in scope, For Profit illuminates the roles corporations played, for good and evil, in the making of the modern world.

The story of the idealists, technologists, and opportunists fighting to bring cryptocurrency to the masses. In their short history, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have gone through booms, busts, and internecine wars, recently reaching a market valuation of more than $2 trillion. The central promise of crypto endures—vast fortunes made from decentralized networks not controlled by any single entity and not yet regulated by many governments. The recent growth of crypto would have been all but impossible if not for a brilliant young man named Vitalik Buterin and his creation: Ethereum. In this book, Laura Shin takes readers inside the founding of this novel cryptocurrency network, which enabled users to launch their own new coins, thus creating a new crypto fever. She introduces readers to larger-than-life characters like Buterin, the Web3 wunderkind; his short-lived CEO, Charles Hoskinson; and Joe Lubin, a former Goldman Sachs VP who became one of crypto’s most well-known billionaires. Sparks fly as these outsized personalities fight for their piece of a seemingly limitless new business opportunity. This fascinating book shows the crypto market for what it really is: a deeply personal struggle to influence the coming revolution in money, culture, and power.

We all want financial freedom. But we also know just how much pressure the subject of money exerts on us, and many of us feel our personal finances are out of control. But that's not surprising - after all, no-one ever explained how to manage money properly - or if they did, we didn't listen. If a head-in-the-sand approach to personal finance ever worked, it doesn't now. Not only do we openly worry about the state of our finances and the cost of living, we increasingly yearn for the kind of financial independence which will enable us to do our own thing and live life to the full. This paradox is right at the heart of everything we do, and a solution is needed. This book will teach you everything you should have learned about money at school - but didn't. It will stop you waking in the middle of the night to check you have enough money for your home, your childcare, your summer holiday or your secret masterplan. And the process of learning how to embrace, not hide, from your financial responsibilities will release you from layers of anxiety, shame and confusion. You will learn how to be rich forever - rich in time, rich in freedom, rich in opportunity. It will revolutionise the way you think and feel about money and free you to grow!

The world of finance is on the cusp of a major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states?indeed, all of us. As Eswar Prasad makes clear, the end of physical cash will fundamentally rewrite how we live. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies are just the beginning: spurred by their emergence, central banks will increasingly develop their own, more stable digital currencies. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies themselves will evolve dramatically as global corporations like Meta, Apple, and Amazon join the game. Prasad shows how these innovations will redefine the very concept of money, unbundling its traditional functions. This transformation promises greater efficiency and flexibility, but also carries the risk of instability, lack of accountability, and erosion of privacy. A lucid, visionary work, The Future of Money shows how to maximize the best and guard against the worst of what is to come.

‘Crypto’, a loose term that means many things to different people, only entered the public consciousness within the last five years or so, now evident by the volume of public discussion, commentary and analysis spread across every conceivable media outlet. Cryptography has been around for millennia, but Bitcoin only arose in 2009, and it was the spark that has taken crypto from a small group of enthusiasts into a many-tentacled creature, now attaching itself to an astonishing number of projects across all manner of applications, challenging both public and private power centres and long-established norms as it spreads. Starting with the emergence of cryptocurrencies, a whole new host of life-forms have emerged – NFTs, the metaverse, Defi, Web3 and DAOs – all of them changing the very notion of ownership. It’s Mine digs into the history and concept of ‘ownership’, which ecosystems nurture it, and where we are now. Filled with anecdotes, observations and interviews, the book takes an entertaining and accessible look at how Bitcoin made its mark, how its technology is being re-purposed to enable a revolution, and (in non-technical terms) how it all works. It explores how these new crypto ‘life-forms’ will interact with the rest of the virtual and physical world, while making some very rich and some very poor.

In 2017, a company known as Tencent overtook Facebook to become the world's fifth largest company. It was a watershed moment, a wake-up call for those in the West accustomed to regarding the global tech industry through the prism of Silicon Valley: Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft. Yet to many of the two billion-plus people who live just across the Pacific Ocean, it came as no surprise at all. Founded by the enigmatic billionaire Pony Ma, the firm that began life as a simple text-message operator invested in and created some of China's most iconic games en route to dreaming up WeChat - the Swiss Army knife super-app that combines messaging, shopping and entertainment. Through billions of dollars of global investments in marquee names from Fortnite to Tesla and a horde of start-ups, Ma's company went on to build a near-unparalleled empire of influence. In this fascinating narrative - crammed with insider interviews and exclusive details - Lulu Chen tells the story of how Tencent created the golden era of Chinese technology, and delves into key battles involving Didi, Meituan and Alibaba. It's a chronicle of critical junctures and asks just what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur in China.

In the short span of four years, America and China have entered a trade war, a tech war, and a new Cold War. This conflict between the world’s two most powerful nations wouldn’t have happened were it not for an unnecessary clash of false narratives. America falsely blames its trade and technology threats on China yet overlooks its shaky saving foundation. China falsely blames its growth challenges on America’s alleged containment of market-based socialism, ignoring its failed economic rebalancing. In a hard-hitting analysis of both nations’ economies, politics, and policies, Stephen Roach argues that much of the rhetoric on both sides is dangerously misguided, amplified by information distortion, and more a reflection of each nation’s fears and vulnerabilities than a credible assessment of the risks they face. Outlining the disastrous toll of conflict escalation between China and America, Roach offers a new road map to restoring a mutually advantageous relationship.

How legacy firms can combine their traditional strengths with the power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy for the digital era. How can legacy firms remain relevant in the digital era? In The Future of Competitive Strategy, strategic management expert Mohan Subramaniam explains how firms can leverage both their traditional strengths and the modern-day power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy. Drawing on the experiences of a range of companies, including Caterpillar, Sleep Number, and Whirlpool, he explains how firms can benefit from data’s enlarged role in modern business, develop digital ecosystems tailored to their unique business needs, and use new frameworks to harness the power of data for competitive advantage. Subramaniam presents digital ecosystems as a combination of production and consumption ecosystems, which can be used by legacy firms to unlock the value of data at various levels—from improving operational efficiencies to creating new data-driven services and transforming traditional products into digital platforms. He explores the ways sensors and the Internet of Things provide new kinds of customer data; presents the concept of digital competitors—other firms that have access to similar data; discusses the new digital capabilities that firms need to develop; and addresses privacy and security issues associated with data sharing. Who needs this book? Any firm that wants to revitalize traditional business models, offer a richer customer experience, and expand its competitive arena into new digital ecosystems.
