Taylor & Francis Dynamics of International Business
Book SynopsisThis thoroughly-revised second edition of Dynamics of International Business provides an in-depth comparative historical analysis of the structural and strategic evolution of international enterprises.Drawing on extensive research, this textbook situates the ostensibly modern phenomena of multinational corporations and economic globalisation within an established and complex history of international enterprises and cross-border business activity. Students will develop a deeper understanding of the global economy and the core forces that have shaped it over time. The bookâs structure has been enhanced for this new edition: it is now divided into seven sections representing specific phases of the global economyâs history, each one consisting of two chapters that comprehensively cover the eraâs âmacroâ framework and its âmicroâ structures respectively. Theoretical paradigms that commonly feature in international business scholarship are also contextualised within the historical eras they emerged from, thus enabling readers to critically engage with and apply these theories. New material has been added throughout, especially regarding current geopolitical tensions threatening to disrupt and even reverse recent globalisation trends in the global economy. Finally, this edition also includes updated case studies based on a diverse range of industries and countries that will complement learning.An essential textbook for economic and business history courses; students and scholars of international business will also find it to be a useful and highly-accessible resource.

Taylor & Francis Remotely Innovative
Book SynopsisIn the near term, the future will not belong to AI, but it will belong to the people who understand AI and how to strategically leverage its advantages.This book gives managers a new perspective on innovation and AIâallowing them to seize the future. As the pace of change has increased, organizations have needed to invest in innovation initiatives to survive and thrive. Up until now, these models have focused on co-location, which is no longer an option in some cases and may not be necessary for all, leaving organizations scrambling for options. Following up on their work in Managing at a Distance, Tom Coughlan and David Fogarty have developed the guide to help managers navigate the challenges of innovation in a world of hybrid and remote workers amidst the ever-increasing use of AI. They tackle questions such as the difference between creativity and innovation and how proximity (or lack of it) impacts teams, and present strategic, structural, and measurement solutions to maximize the role of AI in successful innovation while not minimizing the people who make up organizations.Platform-agnostic, this book will appeal to organizational leaders and managers who work with knowledge workers of any type, as well as students and instructors in graduate business courses, executive education, and corporate training programs.

The language of objects is a subject of ongoing interest and the study of consumables opens up new ways of looking at the everyday language of the early modern period as well as the experiences of trade and consumption for both merchant and consumer.

Book SynopsisThe new sixth edition of Ecotourism focuses on an array of economic, social and ecological inconsistencies that continue to plague ecotourism in theory and practice, and examines the sector in reference to other related forms of tourism, impacts, conservation, sustainability, education and interpretation, policy and governance, and the ethical imperative of ecotourism as these apply to the worldâs greenest form of tourism.Building on the success of prior editions, the text has been revised throughout to incorporate recent research, including ecotourism taking place in under-represented world regions.

Taylor & Francis Narcissistic Leadership
Book SynopsisNarcissism has become a contemporary pandemic that seems to have been normalized, accepted, and even celebrated, both in society at large and by some of our political and business leaders. In this book, world-renowned psychology and leadership thinker Manfred Kets de Vries explains this modern phenomenon and imagines how you would help the narcissist on the notional coachâs couch.Consumerism, competitive urges, individualism, and identity politics are examples of how our present-day culture has reinforced the self-glorification that drives narcissismâthis cult of the self. Although a healthy competitive spirit is part of human nature, for narcissistic people it can turn into an all-consuming character trait. They view the world almost exclusively in terms of âœwinnersâ and âœlosers,â and to lose is unacceptable. Unfortunately, social media seems to provide ample opportunities to magnify the competitive or narcissistic disposition present in all of us.Starting with an i

Taylor & Francis Carbon Pricing in Emerging Economies
Book SynopsisCarbon pricing is one of the key policy instruments available to help countries reach the goals of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).This book explores the challenges and opportunities facing emerging economies in the implementation of carbon pricing with a particular focus on the case of TÃrkiye. After introducing the principles and practicalities of carbon pricing mechanisms, the book explores the economic feasibility of TÃrkiye achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and net zero emissions targets. It is argued that its national circumstances hinder TÃrkiyeâs use of carbon crediting mechanisms, auctions for carbon certificate units and building bilateral and multilateral cooperation with other countries, leaving the voluntary carbon market as the only option. The book explores the implications of this and also highlights the need for improvements and reform in TÃrkiyeâs climate laws, public institutions and international relations to better support carbon pricing. The book also recommends aligning carbon pricing with ongoing energy market reforms, including the replacement of fossil fuel subsidies with more targeted support.This book will be of significant interest to readers of energy economics, environmental economics, emerging economies and climate change more broadly.

Taylor & Francis More Is Better
Book SynopsisIn a world where efficiency often overshadows the essential human elements that drive success, this book offers a revolutionary perspective. With her extensive background in industrial engineering, applied positive psychology, and a proven track record in leading operations and driving transformative business initiatives, Miller presents a compelling new approach that marries the rigor of manufacturing with the principles of human flourishing. This book marks a bold step toward building workplace cultures that are not only productive but also nurturing and inclusive. Drawing from decades of hands-on experience in global manufacturing leadership, Miller lays out a detailed blueprint for transforming the manufacturing landscape. At its core, Efficacious Manufacturing advocates for the integration of positive workplace relationships, meaningful work, and a spirit of optimism into the fabric of manufacturing practices. She argues convincingly that the real engine of a factory is its people, and that recognizing and harnessing this human potential through positive leadership can lead to continuous improvement and innovation. This book is not merely a collection of business strategies; it is a manifesto for rethinking industrial leadership in the modern age. Leveraging her deep experience from the factory floor to the executive suite, Miller makes the case that true operational excellence and competitive advantage come from valuing every team member. By blending research, real-world examples, and practical advice, she provides a robust rationale for adopting a holistic approach to manufacturing that is efficient, effective, and uniquely powerful. This book is essential reading for anyone in leadership within the manufacturing sector, from executives to operational managers. At a time when the manufacturing sector is navigating global competition and technological upheaval, this book serves as a hopeful roadmap. It shows how embracing the science of positive psychology can help organizations not just survive but thrive, leaving a legacy of excellence.

Taylor & Francis Managing Winning Proposals
Book SynopsisPreparing a proposal for a contract or a grant can be an overwhelming and extraordinarily complex process, but regardless of the proposal type or sector, certain truths always pertain.This book walks the proposal manager through the steps that are essential and common to every single proposal and ensure a foundation for winning. Many proposal management books are of little use, particularly to a first-time proposal manager, due to their broad scope and unrealistic assumptions about resources including time, expertise, and information. This book provides actionable, concrete steps for the activities that underpin all successful proposals, providing a step-by-step description of how to make a proposal compliant and compelling. The premise of the book, based on the authorâs more than three decades of hands-on experience in multiple proposal roles, is that proposals do not go off the rails due to an inability to implement advanced techniques and complicated processes. They fail because of inattention to fundamental activities. Other business books cover some of these fundamental activities. However, proposals differ because of their tight constraints: deadlines, the need for perfect compliance with detailed instructions, fierce competition for limited funds, the consequences of not winning, and the stress that inevitably accompanies the process. Focusing solely on the preparation of the written proposal document and not on sales, negotiation, marketing, or customer interaction, this book dives into the details of the tasks facing the person actually accountable and responsible for preparation and delivery of the proposal.Proposal managers of all levels, from first-timers to seasoned pros looking to polish their skills, as well as those who participate in the proposal process but are not intimately familiar with itâartists, technical writers, project managers, accountants, and othersâwill benefit from the processes and tools described in this book.

Taylor & Francis Navigating Supply Chain Cyber Risk
Book SynopsisCybersecurity is typically viewed as the boogeyman, and vendors are responsible for 63% of reported data breaches in organisations. And as businesses grow, they will use more and more third parties to provide specialty services. Typical cybersecurity training programs focus on phishing awareness and email hygiene. This is not enough. Navigating Supply Chain Cyber Risk: A Comprehensive Guide to Managing Third Party Cyber Risk helps companies establish cyber vendor risk management programs and understand cybersecurity in its true context from a business perspective.The concept of cybersecurity until recently has revolved around protecting the perimeter. Today we know that the concept of the perimeter is dead. The corporate perimeter in cyber terms is no longer limited to the enterprise alone, but extends to its business partners, associates and third parties that connect to its IT systems. This book, written by leaders and cyber risk experts in business, is based on thre
