Taylor & Francis Ltd Strategic Airline Retailing and Solutions
Book SynopsisWhile airlines have been looking into the next generation of retailing practices for several years, developments since the beginning of 2020 have accelerated the need to take retailing to a new paradigm. A singular focus now is the ever-changing demands of the current and next generation of customers and employees and managing their values. Examples of customer needs include a mobile-first approach, rich content, augmented and personalized end-to-end services with seamless, consistent, and contextualized experiences. While these concepts of retailing are not new, the challenge has been in bringing them to reality due to (a) the constraints of legacy systems and processes while transitioning to next-generation retailing systems, (b) the inaccessibility of real-time data coming from a wide variety of sources such as online shopping, social media, and operations, (c) the inability to monitor real-time behavior of customers and employees, (d) the lack of effective collaboration and coopTable of ContentsList of Illustrations, About the Author, Forewords, 1 Introduction, 2 Managing challenges to retailing air travel solutions, 3 Developing solution mindsets for offers, fulfillment, and loyalty, 4 Revitalizing the airline product-brand-distribution-loyalty relationship, 5 Teaming up with airports to create optimal outcomes, 6 Building new capabilities to seize new opportunities, 7 Transforming to be ahead of opportunities, 8 Thought leadership pieces, Index

Taylor & Francis State Political Power and Criminality in Civil
Book SynopsisThis book revisits and reframes the old, but active, debate on the relationship between criminality and civil war by bringing both the state and political power into the equation. It argues that the terms in which the debate is generally posed are still inadequate to address the complexities of this relationship, showing how criminalisation and de-criminalisation are deeply political and hotly contested processes. The shifting movements towards the separation -or convergence- between criminality and politics are part of the processes of constitution of both political power and state. The chapters in the volume flesh out the mechanisms and social dynamics through which this takes place.This edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students, academics, and researchers in Politics, History and Criminology. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Political Power.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Future of Charity Marketing
Book SynopsisCharities play an increasingly important role in our society. Whether caring for the vulnerable, campaigning for change or enabling access to the arts, they are organisations on a mission, underpinned by social purpose. However, charities now face unique challenges in a turbulent global economic climate due to structural changes in society post Covid and pressure on disposable incomes.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Inequality and Stagnation
Book SynopsisThe book examines how the outgrowth of the financial industry has contributed to the recent tendencies towards inequality and stagnation. It proposes a monetary interpretation of these events using a ClassicalKeynesian theoretical approach derived from the work of Keynes and Sraffa. The approach moves from the distributive conflicts among economic and social groups, presuming that they influence the legislation shaping the organisation of the markets and the policy of the authorities. It argues that the degrees of liquidity of assets, which reflect the individual perceptions of their future prices, ultimately depend on the organisation of the markets and policy decisions.The development of his work persuaded Keynes that it was necessary to revolutionise the scientific foundations of economic discipline to effectively interpret events and recommend policies. He consequently introduced in 1932 a monetary theory of production. Following these lines, Sraffa proposed in Produc

Routledge Geoeconomics in International Relations
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the concept of geoeconomics in International Relations (IR). It offers an accessible overview of the most important approaches, including their history, means and ends, methodology, ideological underpinnings, normative aspects, and practical relevance.Exploring the forgotten history of geoeconomics, and revealing its different meanings and usages over time, the author clearly differentiates geoeconomics from geopolitics on a conceptual level. This thorough examination of contemporary conceptions identifies shortcomings in the current understanding of geoeconomics and proposes a reconceptualization of the concept within a neoliberal framework, increasing its empirical usefulness and analytical value. By contrasting neoliberal geoeconomics with neorealist geoeconomics, the book highlights the normative implications of both approaches, providing policy analysts and makers with valuable insights into the topic.This volume will be an important reference guide for understanding the concept of geoeconomics and a must-read for students and researchers of international relations, international political economy, economics, and political science, as well as professionals, such as policymakers and politicians.

Taylor & Francis Fundamentals of Global Air Transport Geography
Book SynopsisThe commercial air transport industry can be broadly split into three component parts: airlines, airports and aircraft. Each of these components is shaped by geography, insofar as each is influenced by places, landscapes, environments, people and their various interactions. Conversely, air transport plays a large role in shaping the various themes of geography and the position of our physical, human and environmental world. It connects people, cultures and businesses across every continent and generates economic growth, allows international trade to occur and develops tourism. It can also be involved in creating negative outputs, such as emissions, noise and loss of biodiversity, which can have a large impact on the planet and quality of life. A lack of air transport links can also have a significantly negative impact on world regions in terms of economic and cultural development.

Taylor & Francis Culture by Design
Book SynopsisCulture by Design is about shifting focus from solely organisational outcomes and performance, towards organisational culture and wellbeing. It bridges the gap between two key organisational goals: (a) the drive for improving performance, outcomes and staff retention, and (b) strategies to encourage employee wellbeing, motivation and engagement within the workplace. For too long, organisations have focussed on each of these goals individually, with improvements in one area often coming at the expense of the other. This book demonstrates that this does not need to be the case, that what is required is a shift in perspective towards a culture-focussed approach where improved outcomes, performance and engagement are the added bonuses of a happy, connected staff team. You may be familiar with the phrase Happy bees work harder; this book demonstrates the fundamental truth in that statement and illustrates that What is good for the bees is good for the hive.Through practical

The north star to our constant state of transition is our calling. 30 years ago, I spent 18 months determining my calling. Had there been the benefit of The Language of Transition in Leadership: Your Calling as a Leader in a World of Change it’s quite possible my discovery would have been quicker.

"Jakob, Riet, and Leo are geniuses. I am recommending this book to everyone I know! This is a unique, insightful, practical take on inspiring, transition-based leadership for these challenging times of disruption and uncertainty. This isn't just a collection of tips and strategies, it's a whole new way of thinking. This book is a gift. Get it. Read it. Use it."Terry Small, President of the Terry Small Learning Corporation"Humans evolved and flourished by focusing on and avoiding danger. But for most of us today, that hard-wired approach no longer works. Focusing on opportunity, on the positive, is the surest way to flourish. This guide is full of practical and inspiring insights on how to learn from ‘negative’ experience and rewrite our stories and forge new paths to growth – individually, as teams or as organisations. We honor the past, as the authors write, but focus on the future that asks to be made possible."Audrey Clegg, Chief Talent Officer, Sanofi"This book is a must-read for every leader navigating transition. It offers guidance, reflection questions, and practical examples on understanding one's calling as a leader and leading a team through change. The authors wisely state, "You cannot take your employees further than you are prepared to go yourself." I invite all readers to use this book as a tool for personal growth and to push beyond their current limitations."Dr. Judith Konermann, Head of Leadership, Culture and Inclusion, Coca-Cola HBC"This book has become a compass for my leadership journey. Arriving at a point where I was allowed to make the transition from the leader of a local religious community of monks to the leader of all the communities of the same religious institute worldwide, this book brought me back to the importance of my calling as a human being, a Christian and a monk. Calling as a secure base. The Language of Transition in Leadership a treasured travel guide for my leadership journey but also to help the religious institute on its journey through history, present and future. It continues to inspire me!"Dom Bernardus Peeters OCSO, Abbot General of the Order of the Cistercians of the Strict Observance (Trappists)"The Language of Transition in Leadership offers a bold vision, and a deep one, built on the premise that we cannot know how to foster or navigate organizational change without intimate knowledge of our own life transitions, how we have been unconsciously shaped by them, and what we can learn from them. Just as the title implies, this requires a new language of understanding that pierces through our conventional wisdom to reach the heart of the matter: how we lead begins with who we are, and extends to what we do. In chapter after chapter readers will encounter surprising new insights into themselves, their work, and their personal relationships, prompted by fresh conceptualizations of familiar problems, practical tools for self-reflection, relatable real-life illustrations, and unshakable belief in the capacity of every leader to find in every ending the seeds of new beginnings." Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, Director of the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition and editor of New Techniques in Grief Therapy: Bereavement and Beyond "First we must learn self-leadership before we lead others effectively. This book challenges us to deeply reflect on ourselves, what has shaped us, what makes us tick, what are our triggers, what are our deepest motivators, to help refine our leadership practice. As a young leader growing up in South Africa, I was fortunate to have worked directly for Nelson Mandela. A man who overcame considerable adversity including years of imprisonment, and yet emerged as a giver of hope, as the icon of unity. He had a powerful presence radiating both a compelling vision for the future, and personal warmth to all those he met, whatever their station. His example challenges us to grow beyond our circumstances, to continually practice leadership through deep self-knowledge, reflection, and discipline."Viv McMenamin, CEO South Africa, Mondi"This book is phenomenal. I now enjoy conflict and the way I handle tense dialogue, which has helped me at work, but even more so at home. It’s all-encompassing leadership vision and exceptionally effective methods allow any organisation to remain perfectly sane and inspired during the toughest of transformations. It is so powerful, that we designed our own multi-year leadership programme around it, and rolled it out throughout our entire organisation. It has changed the way we communicate, think and lead. We wouldn’t be the same company without it. Read it with an open mind, it might change your life."Rik van der Woerdt, CEO Amsterdam Data Collective"Perhaps the most challenging task for the leader is to remain inspired when everything around them is changing. My son Tariq was killed by 14-year-old Tony at the age of 20. To return to the full joy of my life and thrive, I had to take the path of forgiveness. It is no different: leaders only grow to their full power, impact and results when they dare to face the deepest pain in their lives and make it a source of inspiration. Jakob, Riet and Leo superbly guide you to manifest that and land on higher ground. A must read for every leader!"Azim Khamisa, founder and director of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation, USA."This book provides a novel exploration of the path to effective leadership. The authors adeptly shift between the leader’s inward reflective journey and the outward expression of leadership that extends from a place of conscious choice and intentionality. The direct and positive approaches identified in the text uniquely identify change, loss and transition as potentially transformative experiences that can be built upon to enhance everyday life. I know of no other written works for leaders that cover this ground in such depth, and in such a powerfully positive way. This is a must read for anyone who wishes to lead from the heart."Darcy Harris, PhD, Professor of Thanatology, King’s University College at Western Ontario"I think you become a leader by never ceasing to find new answers to questions in a context that is constantly changing. In doing so, leadership begins with the person of the leader himself, but moves toward the other. This book is very special. The case histories drawn from the real, sometimes so unruly practice of the leader hit the mark. So do the questions to work with. To shape transition is above all to enter into dialogue with yourself and the people around you. With this book in hand, you will learn how AND gain the confidence to succeed."Maurice Unck, CEO of RET, the public transport operator of the Rotterdam RegionTable of Contents1.
