Strategy Ethics

Almost one in four American working adults has a job that pays less than a living wage. Conventional wisdom says that’s how the world has to work. Bad jobs with low wages, minimal benefits, little training, and chaotic schedules are the only way companies can keep costs down and prices low. If companies were to offer better jobs, customers would have to pay more or companies would have to make less. But in The Good Jobs Strategy, Zeynep Ton, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, makes the compelling case that even in low-cost settings, leaving employees behind - with bad jobs - is a choice, not a necessity.

Most AI programmes don't fail in new ways. They fail in the old ways, faster — and wrapped in the authority of a machine. The board approved a strategy. The executive committee bought a pilot. The workforce delivered a workaround — the client pasted into a public chatbot, reported upward as adoption. By the time the ambition reaches the people doing the work, it has been translated, one reasonable step at a time, into something nobody approved and nobody can quite be blamed for. This is how artificial intelligence fails: the same disease as every technology programme before it, only ...

In Just War Reconsidered: Strategy, Ethics, and Theory, James M. Dubik draws on years of research as well as his own experiences as a soldier and teacher to fill the gaps left by other theorists. He applies moral philosophy, political philosophy, and strategic studies to historical and contemporary case studies to reveal the inaccuracies and moral bankruptcy that inform some of the literature on military ethics.

Your AI system just made a hiring decision. Do you know why? Every CHRO is now accountable for AI decisions they did not make, using tools they did not choose, governed by rules nobody ever wrote down. That accountability gap is already producing legal exposure, regulatory risk, and real harm to the people HR exists to protect. And most organizations are trying to close it with the wrong tools — vendor audits, prompt engineering, and compliance checklists built for a world where humans made every call. That world is gone. The Rules Nobody Wrote gives CHROs and HR leaders the framework ...

Are you living your life or is an algorithm living it for you? In 2025, the greatest threat to humanity isn’t that machines will begin to think like us. It’s that we have already begun to think like them. We are the most connected generation in history, yet we are the most distracted, the most anxious, and the most "remixed." From the way we work to the way we love, our choices are being quietly outsourced to engagement-maximizing systems designed to keep us in a loop. We are drifting away from our own intuition, our "slow" joy, and our authentic selves. In Keep Minds Human, the author ...

"Greed is good". Remember the phrase immortalised by Michael Douglas who played Gordon Gekko in the 1987 movie Wall Street? Well, the world has more than lived up to these words by pursuing the principle that excessive greed is even better. In an analysis of the principles driving modern business, Wayne Visser and Clem Sunter demonstrate that the predatory behaviour of the lion is symbolic of the way most companies are run today. But the world cannot go on like this. They argue strongly for an alternative and more positive vision involving sustainable business in both a social and an ...

The pressure on leaders to incorporate AI into their business has never been higher. Despite their best efforts, 85 percent of AI projects fail. But that is rarely just because of technology. Between unrealistic expectations of what AI can do, isolated science projects turned into money pits, and employees looking for clarity on how AI influences their jobs, learning how to successfully introduce AI into your organization can be difficult. Getting it right on the second or third attempt is not an option. In order for your AI program to be successful, you need to be aware of all the facets ...

The contest between defenders and attackers has never been static — but something has shifted in the last few years that is qualitatively different from every previous change in the threat landscape. Artificial intelligence has not merely added new tools to both sides of the equation; it has rewritten the logic of the game itself. Attacks now arrive at machine speed. Defences must respond in kind. And yet the organisations caught in the middle are still largely led by people trained for an era that no longer exists. Leadership in AI for Cybersecurity is written for the security ...
