Management and Visualisation: Seeing Beyond the Strategic by
As organisations of all sizes become increasingly digitalised, a core management challenge remains unresolved. The ability to successfully and sustainably connect the stated vision of an organisation with its strategic plans and, in turn, with the reported reality of day-to-day operations, is largely an elusive ambition, despite the many stated advantages provided by contemporary technologies.
Digital Transformation: Understanding Business Goals, Risks, Processes, and Decisions by
Whilst digitisation is far from a new concept, many assume that simply introducing automation and information systems in various forms will be enough to make their organisation's operations more efficient. This book shows how to avoid costly mistakes via careful consideration of what an enterprise really needs.
Road to Net Zero : Strategic Pathways for Sustainability-Driven Business Transformation by
Embark on a collaborative learning journey and explore key issues along the road to transformation, such as crafting corporate sustainability strategies, new forms of corporate disclosure, transforming value chains, and harnessing the power of technological innovation.
Shareholders, Strategy and Value Creation by
"The central task of contemporary strategic management is to look for sources of value and to achieve above-average firm performance. The effective implementation of a value creation strategy requires a comprehensive approach, including the creation of a systemic management structure aimed at increasing company value. The concept of value-based management involves consciously inspiring, undertaking and implementing value-oriented actions."
Corporate Social Responsibility and the Supply Chain by
Due to the growing importance of global interdependencies, corporate social responsibility has become an important issue both for the business and the entire society. Customers expect corporate social responsibility, and if an organization is insensitive to these issues, it runs the risk of losing its key customers. The interaction and integration of corporate social responsibility and supply chain management have led to the emergence of sustainable supply chain management. This book is a comprehensive study that deals with the subject of collaboration with suppliers, considering the CSR guidelines. It presents new research about suppliers, their importance in supply chains, and in the context of social responsibility and acts as a new source of content that fills the gap in this area.
Scale-Ups and High-Growth Firms by
This open access book goes into the details of the characteristics of scale-ups, touching upon various theoretical perspectives (stages of growth models, the role of intangible capital, the tradeoffs between fixed costs and marginal costs) relating to firm growth, to provide a clear definition of this emerging concept. Given the disproportionately large economic contribution of a small number of fast-growing firms, there has been growing interest in a category of dynamic ventures called "scale-ups". The term was popularized by Silicon Valley Venture Capitalists before receiving attention from academics and public policy makers. However, there remains considerable confusion regarding what a scale-up actually is. This is an open access book.
