This book explores the evolution of intelligence research over the past two decades, emphasizing the development and implementation of intelligence functions in private and public organizations. A comprehensive framework for conducting intelligence analysis is presented, establishing and operating intelligence teams, and addressing the adjacent ethical questions raised by the nature of this field of study.The key themes addressed include the methodology of intelligence analysis, the establishment of effective intelligence teams, and the concept of "disruptive intelligence," an emerging term referring to the identification of innovations with the potential to transform industries, making products more accessible and affordable. The book argues that recognizing these disruptions early allows incumbents to protect their businesses and new entrants to capitalize on emerging opportunities. This book stands out by blending theoretical insights with practical applications, making it an essential read for those involved in intelligence, strategic planning, and innovation management.

This textbook balances the theory of digital marketing with the practical skills for prospective marketers in professional organizations, both public and private. It begins with an introduction to the digital landscape following the structure of market segmentation, B2C, B2B applications, as a starting point, of digital marketing. It then takes the readers through the customer journey, use of social media, and the rising importance of video-based communication. Given this background, students will learn the organization, technical skills and project management needed for digital marketing, including online public relations, communications, and internet branding. An extensive summary of strategies necessary to work with digital marketing in a longer perspective is also provided.

Navigating the academic ecosystem involves a variety of challenges that extend beyond the application of research methods. These challenges include understanding the university structure, academic conferences, publication strategy, securing research funding, and how modern technologies like artificial intelligence have changed the very purpose of researchers. Written in an engaging and accessible tone, this book guides advanced- and early-career researchers through the real-world challenges that face academics in the social sciences.The book is divided into three parts. The first gives a brief history of the scientific method and social science research processes, the second critically addresses the current state of research methods in the social sciences, and the third discusses implications for ethics in light of scientific and technological advances.

This book provides an introduction to concepts in evolutionary theory, such as competition, variability, and adaptation, and how they can be applied to find solutions for real-world management problems. Although the book discusses theories in economics and biology, it is written in an accessible style for practitioners working in business and management. Topics covered include: core economic assumptions, the role of dialectics in building dynamic economic models, the history of evolutionary thought, the evolution of markets, and how resilient economies mirror biological ecosystems. The final chapter discusses the limitations of neoclassical economic models to account for real-world complexity. The book distinguishes itself from similar books in the market due to its brevity and its focus on usability, where others are theoretical but lack clear descriptions of applications.

The rapid development of AI has exposed long-standing weaknesses in how the social sciences explain behavior, meaning, and social order. As machines increasingly replicate tasks once thought uniquely human, the question is no longer whether the social sciences must rethink themselves, but how. This book argues that the most robust and enduring contributions to the social sciences are those grounded in evolutionary theory. By drawing systematically on biology, cognition, culture, and systems thinking, it develops a coherent framework for organizing the social sciences around a shared understanding of human nature. Especially in light of AI, the future may demand us to define our humanity not only by intelligence, but also by responsibility and stewardship. In this sense, the renewal of social science unfolds within a broader ethical horizon relevant to planetary sustainability.
