&lt;div&gt;Crises present significant challenges for organizations. But, while critical events are inevitable, not every business is sufficiently equipped for when things don’t go according to plan. This book focuses on business under crisis conditions, along with organizational responses and adaptation. Adaptation can be seen as a learning process. It encompasses meaningful ways that help companies sustain their viability over the long term. Companies that respond quickly, often achieve more than just surviving. Some organizations will learn from a crisis, develop reactive resilience, and emerge stronger from the period of turbulence. They will be able to explore possibilities and create new patterns of relationships.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bringing together descriptive and prescriptive research studies, chapters explore adaptation in different sectors, including public health, tourism, garment, Information Technology, high-tech companies, global trade networks, hospitality, security and the social sector. Ultimately, the book covers wide range of topics, linking strategy, entrepreneurship, and leadership to reciprocal organizational adaptations that help us delineate crisis, as well as its interconnections in differing settings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Business Under Crisis, Volume II

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,7, Buckinghamshire New University, language: English, abstract: This coursework focuses on strategic sourcing and does not take the other elements of a supply chain into consideration. The risks identified are based on the element of sourcing. Only external sourcing strategies are considered, which belong to supplier strategies. The definition of supply chain management has brought up by two consultants in 1982. Today, it’s more challenging than ever for the management of companies to developed and implemented coherent strategies to manage and coordinate supply chains and to minimize the likelihood of risks.

Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions

&lt;p&gt;This book examines the evolving dynamics between banks and firms within the context of alternative finance and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) integration. The book contributes to understanding the bank-firm relationship in light of the changing financial landscape and its implications for sustainable development. The book employs an empirical analysis to examine the bank-firm relationship in the context of alternative finance and ESG performance to assess firms’ riskiness, access to funds and cost of capital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The book addresses research gaps by comprehensively analysing the impact of alternative finance and ESG on the bank-firm relationship. It assists banks in adapting their financing practices and policies to align with emerging trends, and it offers insights for banks to evaluate and mitigate ESG-related risks effectively. It provides policy implications for promoting responsible lending, supporting the growth of alternative finance, and incentivising ESG integration in the financial sector. Ultimately, it contributes to formulating policies that foster a sustainable and inclusive financial system, and will be of interest to professionals and researchers in finance, alternative finance, and sustainable finance.&lt;/p&gt;

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 4.5, , course: Business Economics, language: English, abstract: The paper evaluated the effectiveness of risk monitoring through the project life cycle of a construction project of a shopping center in Port Harcourt.In line with this need, this paper established a system to improve the time, cost and quality performance of building construction projects in developing countries through a comprehensive risk management model that ensures that the expectations of clients are met. To achieve the aim of this paper, a mixed methodological approach was adopted.Through the review of literature, a conceptual risk management framework suitable to elaborate risk assessment of building construction projects especially for developing countries was developed. The result showed the interrelation between the risk factors and how they contributed to cost and time overruns as well as quality problems.

Digging into Financial Advice

This book builds on Heffernan's last book&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Rights and Wrongs:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rethinking the Foundations of Criminal Justice&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;by examining the class and racial disparities at the heart of current law — disparities that, according to many, generate a system of criminal&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;in&lt;/i&gt;justice.&amp;nbsp;It argues that these disparities run throughout the legal system; they’re present in policing, corrections, and sentencing. It&amp;nbsp;discusses&amp;nbsp;the relationship between&amp;nbsp;the two kinds of justice&amp;nbsp;—&amp;nbsp;social justice and criminal justice&amp;nbsp;and how to ensure&amp;nbsp;fairness in state-imposed punishment.&amp;nbsp;It&amp;nbsp;theorises the extent to which criminal law must address considerations of social justice to ensure&amp;nbsp;a fair system. It&amp;nbsp;proposes a framework for analyzing disparities, provides an overview of contemporary research concerning them, and offers reform proposals for addressing them. Written in an accessible way, it&amp;nbsp;introduces readers to&amp;nbsp;philosophical theory and doctrines in constitutional law and thus it speaks to a wide&amp;nbsp;audience concerned about racial and class disparities in the criminal justice system.&amp;nbsp;It responds to a half-century’s worth of public concern about the legitimacy of the state’s exercise of its penal power while explaining the pertinence of social justice principles to the criminal justice system.&amp;nbsp;

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: B, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this research study is to figure out the differences in rules/regulations and practices regarding risk management in Islamic and conventional banks in Pakistan. Keeping in view the research questions, the nature of this research is a qualitative case study. The findings of the study reveal that there exists a substantial difference between Islamic and conventional banks in risk management practices, risk identification, liquidity risk analysis and risk governance. Islamic bank is performing competently in liquidity risk analysis, whereas, conventional bank is competent in risk management practice, risk identification, and risk governance.The risk management, risk monitoring and reporting, and liquidity risk analysis are weak in Islamic banks. Whereas, risk analysis and assessment are weak in conventional banks. Due to lack of risk management training and limited knowledge of risk management practices, understanding of risk management practices is weak in Islamic bank. The study also reveals that in terms of rules and regulations, there is no proper institutionalisation of Islamic institutions regarding risk management as compared to conventional banking where the risk management practices are institutionalised by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many organizations are shifting to a remote workforce in order to be competitive and many more are built as remote-first outfits. The sudden global experiment brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has proven that remote teams are in fact possible and widely effective across industries when done right. &lt;i&gt;Remotely Possible&lt;/i&gt; addresses the challenges and opportunities that remote teams face, starting with the current landscape and looking forward to the future of &amp;nbsp;remote working. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Author Shawn Belling insightfully addresses what leaders must do to effectively lead a remote team, whether it is in a remote-first organization or in an organization trying the concept for the first time. There are long-term strategies you can adapt to your own organization, and &lt;i&gt;Remotely Possible&lt;/i&gt; explores these in addition to the benefits that come with broad acceptance of remote workforces. Globally distributed teams are more common than ever, and with the correct approach and digital plan, yours can take an organization to the next level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Belling acknowledges the challenges that come with changes to a team’s work culture, communication tools, and foundations of trust in an all-digital, remote workplace. Adaptation is key and &lt;i&gt;Remotely Possible &lt;/i&gt;gives you all the practical, real-world lessons you need to tackle these major changes head-on. Remote work is here to stay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;What You Will Learn&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Work with the various permutations of remote and distributed teams including globally distributed teams&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Discover the evolving preference of teams as an engine for getting work done regardless of the industry or organizational type&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;See the challenges that remote teams face with communications, culture, rapport and trust, and coordination as well as techniques for overcoming these challenges&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who This Book Is For&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Leaders, managers, and team members of remote/distributed teams as well as those who are evaluating the extended/continued use of remote work and teams beyond the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Strategic Lessons and Tactical Best Practices for Remote Work

Remotely Possible

Risk avoidance currently seems to be the patent remedy for all our problems. Central banks are attempting to defend our banking and economic systems from current threats by throwing vast amounts of money in their way, while politicians demonstrate benevolence in attempts to counter todays social ills – to ›sweep them under the carpet‹ as one might say. A general desire to ›keep going as normal‹ certainly appears prevalent. Without risk, however, there can be no progress, no learning, no insight.Markus Krall, bestselling author and one of the most insightful connoisseurs of the risk landscape, shows how currently unfolding distortions in business and politics, rapid technological development and geostrategic mistakes could lead us to catastrophe. He also shows where and how we can intervene to put our society on a new and better footing.

&lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Through the lens of personal experience, Dr. Armah walks us through the scholarly research on culture, corruption and economics as it applies to the Ghanaian experience. We are left with a partially disappointing picture of a country wealthy in people and resources, but poor in growth but cannot help but imagine that Ghana has turned a corner and that history may well turn out to be kind to the country Dr. Armah clearly loves.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;–&lt;b&gt;Kenneth Leonard&lt;/b&gt;, Associate Professor, University of Maryland at College Park&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Management consultants and corporate leadership experts have often verified Peter Drucker’s observation that ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast.’&amp;nbsp;This book represents a heartfelt effort to recognize and grapple with the power of culture over economic strategy and development policy. Stephen Armah’s reflections on Ghanaian experiences reveal how a deeper appreciation of culture and mindset can help us understand the persistence of corruption and elements of a path forward.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;–Alex Winter-Nelson&lt;/b&gt;, Director of ACES Office of International Programs, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“This book is an interesting introduction to the ways in which culture influences economic growth and productivity in Ghana.&amp;nbsp; Using a combination of revealing anecdotes and citations from the literature Dr. Armah explores the ways that culture can positively, and negatively, impact the institutions that are necessary to allow a country to thrive.&amp;nbsp; Aspects of culture that are a hindrance cannot be changed immediately, but can, over time, adapt to improve the country.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;–Erik Cheever,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Professor,&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Department of Engineering, Swarthmore College&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"An easy and thought provoking read! It contains a bold message that I expect will facilitate an important conversation not only in Ghana but across Africa.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;–Saweda Liverpool-Tasie&lt;/b&gt;, Associate Professor of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics, Michigan State University&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Armah’s thesis is that corruption, economic inefficiency, and weak formal institutions are culturally rooted in Ghana, and that the real work of development involves changing the worldviews that give life events their meaning and determine how people respond to formal policies and institutions. This is a controversial argument that will provoke lively debate.&amp;nbsp;Armah's book puts the literature on economic development and culture into dialogue with stories of life in post-independence Ghana.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;–Stephen A. O'Connell, &lt;/b&gt;Gil and Frank Mustin Professor of Economics, Swarthmore College&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using Ghana as a case study, this book argues that local culture and tradition play a role in shaping economic institutions that operate in a country. This book focuses on how certain cultural practices lead to an environment more susceptible to cronyism and corruption. The book then discusses the relationship between culture and rampant corruption, and how these in sum have harmed Ghana’s economic development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I have no doubt that culture, in terms of attitudes, values, norms and behavior, is the single most important explanatory factor in Ghana's underdevelopment.&amp;nbsp;It explains the widespread corruption, poor work ethic and indiscipline.&amp;nbsp;These are the issues Stephen Armah courageously takes on in this book as needing to be addressed in Ghana's development.” -&lt;b&gt;Stephen Adei&lt;/b&gt;, Professor Emeritus, Ashesi University&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Stephen Armah’s &lt;i&gt;Nurturing Sustainable Prosperity in West Africa&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;explores and interprets the economics, transnational organizations, socio-cultural politics as contexts and processes for understanding corruption in Ghana, in particular and Africa as a whole. Focusing on the continuous transactions among Ghanaians with reference to their social and personal obligations against the backdrop of the pervasive corruption exemplified in his case studies, Armah clearly explains the process of constructing socio-political mores and policies to remedy or root out chronic corruption. Armah examines the institutionalized and non-formal &amp;nbsp;customary practices &amp;nbsp;that engender nepotism, absenteeism, lawlessness and general malaise that hamper development. The book provides an important analysis and solutions to corruption. It will be of interest to not only to scholars of economics but also, to the general reader, policymakers and servant- leaders in contemporary Africa.” -&lt;b&gt;Pashington Obeng&lt;/b&gt;,&amp;nbsp;Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science, Ashesi University&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
