The dramatic date of Plato’s dialogue Meno cannot be meaningfully determined until this character has been identified as one of the generals from Xenophon’s Anabasis. Researchers have attempted to date Plato’s dialogue immediately prior to this Voyage of the Ten Thousand that began in 401 BC, but have been pushed back to the winter of 403/402 based on conservative estimates.

Here they stayed for over two hundred years, a period in which they were the only western nation allowed to trade with the Japanese. The location where the Dutch buried their dead in H...

You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace.

Anyhow, regardless of the fact that this buzzword emerges everywhere, still dissension exists concerning the definition. Multiple Business Model concepts exists, but are not actively used in daily business life and the bridge to controlling is never made.

In this book, I want to answer three questions: What is i...
