In Sciencepreneurship, author Piero Formica explores the symbiotic relationship between science, entrepreneurship, and sustainable economic growth. He argues that like artists, writers and educators, scientists and entrepreneurs foster social progress and provide opportunities to advance sustainable and environmentally friendly economic development. Innovative and future thinking entrepreneurs play a special role in the advancement of science and technology. They help guide scientific discoveries into our daily lives and reveal new opportunities for social innovation as they exploit the discoveries that scientists make of the natural world. Sciencepreneurship argues that forward-thinking scientific entrepreneurs are well placed to take advantage of recent breakthroughs ranging from genetic sequencing to smartphone applications-innovations that have entered our lives at breakneck speed. Taking a transdisciplinary approach, which is one that integrates the natural, social and health sciences in a humanities context, Formica teaches readers, from academic researchers to engaged entrepreneurs, how to valorise science and entrepreneurship by designing a context of close, long-term interaction between the two.

The rapid advancement of digital technology in all spheres of modern life necessarily entails changes to the existing models of economic and social structures in our societies. Institutions of power and society, industrial and social culture, individual worldviews and values are all affected by the spread of digitalization. These lasting changes make it vital to understand both the opportunities and threats that digitalization poses to our future. Focusing on so-far unresolved questions about this new horizon of modernity, Two Faces of Digital Transformation provides insights into technological advancements with business administrative applications and examines forthcoming implementation strategies from a range of perspectives - community engagement, industry 4.0 opportunities and threats, human resource management, digital threats and agility, and organizational behaviours. The future of business management necessitates context-awareness and malleability, supported by the research presented in this volume. For policymakers and business leaders alike, technology cannot remain a mystery. Digitalization is an essential discipline that is here to stay. The examination of technological opportunities contrasted with social threats renders the research presented here indispensable for practitioners and researchers at any stage of their career.

This Element applies capability-architecture-performance (CAP) approach of industrial analysis to the evolution of the automobile industry and the strategies of its leading manufacturing firms between the late 19th century and the early 21st century. It regards a manufacturing site ('genba,' such as factory, development facility, etc.) and a product (and other economic artifacts, such as processes) as the two basic units of analysis. Both an industry and a firm can be seen as a collection of sites, as well as a collection of products. The CAP framework predicts that dynamic fits between the sites' organizational capabilities and the product/process architectures lead to sustainable competitive performance. Such key concepts as flows of value-carrying design information, productive/market/profit performance, design-based comparative advantage, integral/modular architectures, multi-skilling, coordinative capability-building, evolutionary capabilities, industry lifecycle, and architectural evolution are discussed in a systematic and dynamic way.

Thsi book focuses on entrepreneurial development and the development of small businesses in Africa. The central idea of this book is that entrepreneurial development and small business development are connected. Entrepreneurship is lauded as an engine of growth (economic development and job creation), with small businesses often contributing to new job creation. Also, entrepreneurship and small business development are the heart of many countries' economies. The decision to focus on entrepreneurial development and small business development is that first, there is a consensus that most entrepreneurial activities are aimed at creating small new ventures. Second, countries that give special attention to entrepreneurship stand a chance of industrialization. Third, Africa has been reported as having a rich entrepreneurial landscape as the continent's wealthiest individuals generated their wealth as trailblazing entrepreneurs. Fourth, small-scale entrepreneurs and businesses form the backbone of economic activities across the continent. A motivation to focus on entrepreneurial and small business development is the generally accepted view that start-ups in Africa are growing calling for understanding into how to enhance productivity, efficiencies, and application of new technologies. The book aims to enhance the understanding of stakeholders (business owners, governments, practitioners) to overturn challenges such as inadequate start-up capital, competition, lack of employees with the right skills, and low use of technology. The ability to develop entrepreneurship in Africa, and the role of small-medium enterprises cannot be underestimated. The promotion of entrepreneurship in Africa is crucial as it creates jobs, provides decent livelihoods, and contributes to GDP. Most entrepreneurial initiatives in developing economies entail identifying opportunities and new venture creation. It is worth recognizing that most new ventures created take the form of small businesses and the entrepreneurial processes involve entrepreneurs' knowledge and skills, identifying opportunities, involvement in setting up a business and managing the business.The various aspects of this book focus on many entrepreneurial activities that are undertaken on the African continent. This book is focused on African countries since there is a reason to be optimistic about the prospects for growth and entrepreneurship. To achieve entrepreneurial success in African countries, the African Development Bank (2021) proposes that there must be a link between macro and firm-level characteristics that will serve as the mix of entrepreneurship in societies. This book, therefore, considers some macro-level factors such as education, training, and skills development, technological developments, government programs, and entrepreneurial challenges and opportunities. At the firm-level, this book focuses on entrepreneurial initiatives such as branding and marketing.

Eastern philosophy and Western management ideals offer a powerful set of wisdom on how to build and grow businesses. This can have lasting impact on employees, customers, financial performance, and society. The father of modern management - Peter F. Drucker - focused on how organizations can contribute to a functioning society. Confucius focused on how to build a functioning society, largely from a family and individual perspective. Despite these differing starting points, their collective work provides a remarkably consistent set of principles that can provide practical guidance for executives who want to both "win in the present" and create their own future. The purpose of this book is to help leaders and decision-makers successfully navigate their organizations through the stormy seas of the present, into the future. In the first section of the book, the authors demonstrate how executives can make five direction-setting 'big choices' for their firms. These five big choices are: defining the purpose of an organization, building a mission statement, setting an organization's vision, crafting organizational values, and shaping the firm's culture. In the second section, the authors tie these five choices to the foundational thinking of Drucker and Confucius. Here the concepts, principles, and real-world practice of Eastern and Western leadership are shown here to combine to compelling effect.

Accountancy is an elite profession, wielding its influence in every step we take in business and political life, from takeover to bankruptcies and from Brexit to war: we need accountants to help us see the bigger picture and to enable us to trust one another in public life. But for much of the profession's history, women were excluded from it and, while we have seen great advances in women's access to the profession, women remain significantly underrepresented at the top of the hierarchy and amid partnership ranks across the industry and globally. Importantly, there are noteworthy differences in the severity of this underrepresentation across national borders which remain underexplored. Gendered Hierarchies of Dependency considers this underrepresentation of women at partnership level cross-nationally and through a feminist lens, analysing interviews with female partners in Germany and the United Kingdom. In doing so, Kokot-Blamey innovatively merges insights from accountancy and organization studies, political economy, and the feminist ethics of care literature to contribute to contemporary debates about women at work, neoliberalism and the capitalist fiction of the autonomous self. Beyond career advancement to partnership, Kokot-Blamey examines several timely issues such as the persistence of discrimination and sexism at work, motherhood, and weathering recessions and economic crises in accountancy. Revealing important insights into the day-to-day working and private lives of modern elites, this book shows how hierarchies are negotiated differently across borders, but that the outcomes are always gendered.

This informative and practical book helps leaders develop adaptive leadership mindsets and skills to address the myriad intersecting challenges shaping today's workplace. Through the Flux 5 framework, organizational culture and systems experts Sharon Ravitch and Liza Herzog help leaders, teams, and organizations create the organizational conditions to drive and enact adaptive change.At a time of unprecedented workplace flux, leader roles are constantly being redefined, requiring more finely attuned leader mindsets, frames for leadership, and skillsets for moving the dial on individual and organizational sense-making for cultural and institutional excellence. Based on five mindsets - Inquiry Mindset, Humanizing Mindset, Systems Mindset, Entrepreneurial Mindset, and Equity Mindset - the Flux 5 framework teaches leaders to drive adaptive change as a tool of professional and organizational development. Using embedded leader learning activations and organizational practices, the book guides leaders to develop each mindset as they read. The book encourages leaders (and their organizations in diffusion effect) to cultivate a visionary and resonant leadership approach at the intersection of crisis leadership, professional and human development, systems thinking, entrepreneurial leadership, and organizational equity frameworks. Succinct, accessible, pragmatic, and inspiring, this useful guide will grab the interest of leaders, teams, and organizations across sectors, organizational types, and business contexts, and engage professors, students, and practitioners of leadership, management, organizational psychology, and organizational development.

There are an estimated 200-500 million 1:1 meetings held each day around the world. In Glad we Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings Dr. Steven Rogelberg, author of The Surprising Science of Meetings, brings new and strategic insight to help us maximize the potential of these crucial conversations. 1:1s are arguably one of the most critical meeting types for the success of team members, managers, coaches, teams, and organizations. The best managers recognize that 1:1s are not an add-on to their role as a manager, conducting 1:1s successfully ARE foundational to being a manager. At the same time, these meetings fundamentally influence a direct report's experience at work, including how they engage and attach to their role, perceive the effectiveness of their manager, and envision their future at the organization. Leveraging research and evidence collected over 20 years from managers and team members, and drawing on interviews with top leaders from some of the most respected companies in the world, Steven Rogelberg covers topics such as: ? Why effective 1:1s are critical to your success and the success of your team ? Messaging and positioning 1:1s for maximum value ? Finding the correct 1:1 cadence and meeting length to maximize positive impact without over-meeting ? Managing the intricate balance of productivity-building, relationship-building, and employee development ? Designing 1:1s with intentionality, from where to conduct the meeting to building agendas to optimize effectiveness ? Acting as leader coach and leveraging key skills around facilitation, listening, and feedback-giving ? How to personalize your 1:1 approach to fit you and your direct reports - one size does not fit all

Wang, Echo Lei, Social Enterprise in China: State-Third Sector Relations and Institutional Effectiveness. (Routledge Contemporary China Series) 192 pp. 2023:7 (Routledge, UK) <697-371>

Wang offers an empirically based exploration into work-integration social enterprises as a means for delivering social services in China. Focusing on the political economy of social enterprise development in China, Wang examines the nature of the relationship between the state and social enterprises and the implications of such relationships for their institutional effectiveness. She adopts a bottom-up approach that investigates indigenous practices embedded within the local political context. Common ground has been established internationally that the social enterprise model provides new ways of social service delivery that could potentially change and restructure the social welfare economy. However, the development path differs across social contexts, especially in an authoritarian country like China. This study provides insights into China's efforts to develop its social welfare sector and reinvigorate customary ideas about how public services could be better offered given the country's political economy.This book will be of great interest to both scholars of China's political economy and those with an interest in the development of the social enterprise sector looking to see how this works in a Chinese context.

It is free to read at Oxford Academic and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. This book examines the growing role and importance of 'Protection Gap Entities' (PGEs), not-for-profit entities providing insurance protection that would otherwise be unavailable within a purely private sector context. Around the world, PGEs and the insurance instruments they use are becoming increasingly crucial in making sure that funds are available to rebuild after disasters. These PGEs, typically developed as collaborations between governments and the insurance industry, enable insurance to continue at a time when climate change, urbanization, global interdependence, and geo-political instability are making disaster insurance increasingly expensive or unavailable. Given their growing importance, understanding the role of PGEs in both insurance protection and their potential to create a more resilient society is critical. Disaster Insurance Reimagined uses practical examples from different countries to explain how PGEs step in to maintain disaster insurance and how their work can, but does not always, improve financial and physical resilience to disaster. Drawing on 5 years of research into 17 entities that provide insurance cover in 49 countries, the authors examine the strengths, limitations, and evolution of PGEs in providing disaster protection in the face of a growing insurance crisis. They provide an accessible discussion of disaster insurance, its complexities, and the transformation it needs to undergo in order to remain relevant and to contribute to meaningful disaster protection. PGEs and their work offer a path to re-imagining disaster insurance as a key tool in an ecosystem that has societal protection from disaster at its heart.
