Why are there so few women vice chancellors in UK higher education? In this book, Paula Burkinshaw explores the contemporary conversation around the 'missing women at the top' across UK society through in-depth interviews with the (hitherto) silent voices of women vice chancellors. These women have successfully negotiated with and navigated the gendered leadership cultures of higher education throughout their careers and speak of the masculine communities of their workplaces. Advocating the need to achieve a critical mass of women at the top, this book suggests there is still much to be done in the higher education sphere.

This sweeping, comparative study of taxation in the United States and Australia shows that even as governments in the Western world have become increasingly sophisticated tax collectors, a competitive and ruthless market in advice on tax avoidance has developed. The same competitive forces in the late twentieth century which have driven down prices and sparked efficiencies in the production of fast food or computer parts have helped stimulate the markets for "bads" like tax shelters and problem gambling. Braithwaite draws the surprising conclusion that effective regulation could actually flip markets in vice to markets of virtue. Essential reading for anyone involved in policy, governance, and regulation, Markets in Vice, Markets in Virtue provides a blueprint for restoring the equity of Western tax systems and a breakthrough theory of how regulators can support markets in virtue and curtail markets in vice.

There are books about product and companies but no books about a company as a product. The Vice Chair arrives from orbit around a corporation with a doctrine of leadership without authority for business warriors who reject control, live in a world of influencers, and aspire to become one. Process and culture converge as competitive advantage by refashioning priorities for Industry 4.0 through unorthodox lenses in a no holds-barred treatment of influence and leverage complete with coaching, mantras, and essential tales of leadership. Competitive action is focused through design thinking and transformation within a social system. A greater metamorphosis combines personal development with management of a company as though it were a product, leading to culture, branding, and innovation in the form of actionable values.
