This edited book frames a new ethos of management that cares for society, future generations and nature whilst also serving the interests of business and the wider community. Employing the practical wisdom of faith traditions, the chapters develop the use of spirituality as a resource for creating business models that take pressing social problems – such as quality of life at work, over-consumption, environmental degradation and climate change – into account. Spanning entrepreneurship, leadership, management education and business models, the chapters in this book aim to develop a spiritually-based caring model of management to face the challenges and reality of the 21st century.

How to empower people and communities with user-centric data ownership, transparent and accountable algorithms, and secure digital transaction systems. Data is now central to the economy, government, and health systems—so why are data and the AI systems that interpret the data in the hands of so few people? Building the New Economy calls for us to reinvent the ways that data and artificial intelligence are used in civic and government systems. Arguing that we need to think about data as a new type of capital, the authors show that the use of data trusts and distributed ledgers can empower people and communities with user-centric data ownership, transparent and accountable algorithms, machine learning fairness principles and methodologies, and secure digital transaction systems. It’s well known that social media generate disinformation and that mobile phone tracking apps threaten privacy. But these same technologies may also enable the creation of more agile systems in which power and decision-making are distributed among stakeholders rather than concentrated in a few hands. Offering both big ideas and detailed blueprints, the authors describe such key building blocks as data cooperatives, tokenized funding mechanisms, and tradecoin architecture. They also discuss technical issues, including how to build an ecosystem of trusted data, the implementation of digital currencies, and interoperability, and consider the evolution of computational law systems.

What happens to black health care professionals in the new economy, where work is insecure and organizational resources are scarce? In Flatlining, Adia Harvey Wingfield exposes how hospitals, clinics, and other institutions participate in “racial outsourcing,” relying heavily on black doctors, nurses, technicians, and physician assistants to do “equity work”—extra labor that makes organizations and their services more accessible to communities of color. Wingfield argues that as these organizations become more profit driven, they come to depend on black health care professionals to perform equity work to serve increasingly diverse constituencies. Yet black workers often do this labor without recognition, compensation, or support. Operating at the intersection of work, race, gender, and class, Wingfield makes plain the challenges that black employees must overcome and reveals the complicated issues of inequality in today’s workplaces and communities.

"Health care plays a massive societal role. It is complex, and it is growing. Defining trends of the last decade have fundamentally altered the traditional dynamics of the field. A global pandemic is the current agent of disruption. The New Health Economy: Ground Rules for Leaders explores the impact of the 4Ps that influence the health economy - Politics, Policy, Providers and Personalization - in aggregate. While many books in the field consider one angle, this is the first book to represent the authors' 360-degree view, informed by case study interviews with 13 key leaders in health systems, provider networks, pharmaceuticals (Pfizer and J&J), insurers, public policy, the private sector (Walmart) and government agencies like the CDC. With expertise spanning clinical advancement and scientific discovery, health services and the health economy, health care politics and health financing and policy, and healt hcare digitization and data-driven personalization, Bisbee, Jain, and Trigg have worked and lived in health care for decades. They partner with executives across the health economy to help them navigate the intersectional forces of change every day. The New Health Economy, it is hoped, will play a critical role in sharing their collective insights to an even broader segment of leaders who are similarly making tough decisions that will redefine the future of health care in the years to come"--
