                            Eight perspectives on how societal challenges are evolving, and what that
                            means for companies.

                              consume about 40–60% of a company’s costs. 
                            
                               
                             
                            
                            Deals ultimately succeed or fail because of the
                              people involved. 
                            
                               
                             
                            
                            A recent analysis of 35,000 manufacturing plants
                              found that those with more-structured management practices were more likely to acquire
                              ones with less-structured practices.

                              next-generation digital technologies will have a massive impact.

                            Companies spend billions of dollars annually on
                              diversity efforts with remarkably few results. To truly make progress we need to stop
                              celebrating the problem and instead take effective steps to solve it. In Bias
                                Interrupted, Joan C. Williams shows how it's done, and, reassuringly, how easy
                              it is to get started. 
                            Comprehensive, though compact and
                              straightforward, this book delivers real, practical value in an efficient and accessible
                              manner to an audience that has never needed it more.
