Book excerpt: Dr Allan Trench has been exposed to the inner workings of Australian mining and exploration companies for three decades -- including ten years experience as a director.He brings this knowledge and experience together in this entertaining and informative book. This is a further mix of boardroom practice, resource sector management and investment observations and discussion, written in Trenchs trademark dry humorous style. Many of the subject themes covered in this book end in a series of questions for readers either to think about, to apply, or even to rate their own organisations. Underpinning each theme is an in-depth understanding of the strategic issues and choices being faced by mining companies today. All these ingredients blended together provide for an insightful analysis and greater understanding of Australias mining sector. It takes unique skills to lead a resources company. When you understand what goes on in the boardroom, you better understand the company you are working for or investing in. It has now been over three years since the publication of the companion book to this one Strictly (Mining) Boardroom -- Management Insights from Inside the Resources Sector. Those three years have proven to be very difficult ones for the resources industry in general -- and especially for the smaller exploration companies within the sector who have struggled to maintain meaningful activity in the face of dwindling investor support. Excessive pessimism prevails across the sector at the time of writing. With that backdrop however, there is perhaps no better time to release this book as a form of call-to-arms to the entire resources sector at both an individual and collective level to lift our game. The challenges from lower commodity prices only serve to amplify both the need and opportunity for us to improve as an industry.

Book excerpt: DR ALLAN TRENCH has been exposed to the inner workings of Australian mining and exploration companies for three decades - including approaching ten years' experience as a director himself. Over the years he has penned some insightful articles about boardroom practice, management issues and common strategic dilemmas that companies have faced in the sector and how they were resolved - as well as about broader issues covering mineral commodity markets and pertaining to topical resources sector issues that directors, managers and investors need to both contemplate and understand. For the first time he brings this knowledge and experience together in one entertaining and informative book, STRICTLY (MINING) BOARDROOM. The book is a mix of boardroom practice, resource sector management and investment observations and discussion, written in Trench's trademark dry humourous style. Many of the subject themes end in a series of questions for you either to think about, to apply, or even to rate your own organisation. The questions and insights are well placed as they force you to stop and think rather than just read on. Underpinning each theme is an in-depth understanding of the strategic issues and choices being faced by mining companies today. All these ingredients blended together provide for an insightful analysis and greater understanding of Australia's mining sector.

Download or read book Mindf ck written by Christopher Wylie and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower tells the inside story of the data mining and psychological manipulation behind the election of Donald Trump and the Brexit referendum, connecting Facebook, WikiLeaks, Russian intelligence, and international hackers. “Mindf*ck demonstrates how digital influence operations, when they converged with the nasty business of politics, managed to hollow out democracies.”—The Washington Post Mindf*ck goes deep inside Cambridge Analytica’s “American operations,” which were driven by Steve Bannon’s vision to remake America and fueled by mysterious billionaire Robert Mercer’s money, as it weaponized and wielded the massive store of data it had harvested on individuals—in excess of 87 million—to disunite the United States and set Americans against each other. Bannon had long sensed that deep within America’s soul lurked an explosive tension. Cambridge Analytica had the data to prove it, and in 2016 Bannon had a presidential campaign to use as his proving ground. Christopher Wylie might have seemed an unlikely figure to be at the center of such an operation. Canadian and liberal in his politics, he was only twenty-four when he got a job with a London firm that worked with the U.K. Ministry of Defense and was charged putatively with helping to build a team of data scientists to create new tools to identify and combat radical extremism online. In short order, those same military tools were turned to political purposes, and Cambridge Analytica was born. Wylie’s decision to become a whistleblower prompted the largest data-crime investigation in history. His story is both exposé and dire warning about a sudden problem born of very new and powerful capabilities. It has not only laid bare the profound vulnerabilities—and profound carelessness—in the enormous companies that drive the attention economy, it has also exposed the profound vulnerabilities of democracy itself. What happened in 2016 was just a trial run. Ruthless actors are coming for your data, and they want to control what you think.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006.
