Palgrave Studies in Technology and Innovation in Africa

The sustainability of higher education in Africa has become increasingly critical amid rapid technological advancement, rising demand for quality education, and the imperative for global engagement. As the continent's higher education systems confront evolving societal, economic, and environmental challenges, institutions must move beyond traditional models to embrace innovation and strategic transformation.

Palgrave Debates in Business History

This book explains the fascinating history of higher commercial education in Japan; by “higher” commercial education, the editors mean an innovative, academic approach to the study of commerce in vocational schools designed to produce managers and leaders capable of navigating an increasingly sophisticated global trade system.This volume first explains the European roots of Japanese higher commercial schools and how those early European schools began to influence commercial education outside Europe. Subsequent essays in the volume explain how Japanese students ended up in Europe (particularly in Antwerp) studying commerce, and how they brought back to Japan ideas about how European schools could be adapted to the Japanese context. More crucially, the chapters connect commercial schools operated by Japan in pre-war China to both higher commercial schools in Japan and Europe.Scholars have long been fascinated (and perhaps puzzled) by Japan’s breathtakingly rapid economic development during the Meiji period (1868–1912). This work on commercial education provides researchers with added context about that process. It will be of interest to&nbsp;scholars of business history specializing in Japan’s Meiji period, China’s treaty port economy, and nineteenth-century European business.Paul Sinclair is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Business at the University of Regina, Canada. He has been fascinated by the Tōa Dōbun Shoin and Japan's business/language schools situated in China for more than 25 years. He recently completed a translation of a book about the Tōa Dōbun Shoin by Yoshihisa Fujita, Japan's premier expert on the elaborate fieldwork programs at the institution.OkadaKentaro&nbsp;is Professor in the Faculty of Law at Aichi University, Japan. His research specializes in comparative politics, with a particular focus on Canada. Throughout his career, he has also maintained a strong interest in the international comparative study of higher education.

More crucially, the chapters connect commercial schools operated by Japan in pre-war China to both higher commercial schools in Japan and Europe.The book will invite some controversy because it sees the curriculum of the Tōa Dōbun Shoin as an innovative modification of the higher commercial school curriculum in late nineteenth-century Europe. Until now, the TDS curriculum has been seen as entirely “made in Japan.” In previous scholarship in English, the institution was viewed as an instructive example of Japanese imperialist policy toward China; in Chinese scholarship, an intelligence-gathering apparatus; and in Japanese scholarship, a creative and entrepreneurial endeavor by Japan’s “China hands” in the Meiji period. Thus, the book will probe a series of comfortable narratives that have gone undisturbed for decades.Scholars have long been fascinated (and perhaps puzzled) by Japan’s breathtakingly rapid economic development during the Meiji period (1868–1912).

Global Strategy in the Service Industries

Global sourcing is a complex area, and one that managers must get to grips with as business investment in outsourcing continues to climb. This book provides invaluable guidance for the reader, walking them through the fundamentals of global sourcing to very recent trends, including intelligent automation, cloud services and crowdsourcing. Replete with key examples and cases, it allows students and managers alike to relate academic theory to practice, acting as a roadmap to a rapidly evolving field.For the last two decades, the authors have studied the full spectrum of activities involved in global sourcing from both client, supplier and advisory viewpoints. Their research has shown that while more firms engage in global sourcing activities, many of them are still struggling to extract value from sourcing relationships. While past research has produced numerous practical frameworks regarding the management of global sourcing of services, little of this insight has been put into practice.The 5th edition of this definitive text on global sourcing and service delivery is being updated to reflect the rapid acceleration of digital transformation, ensuring its continued relevance for both practitioners and academic use. While retaining its foundational coverage, the new edition will significantly expand its scope beyond traditional outsourcing and offshoring to address critical contemporary themes, including AI and machine learning, platform and ecosystem sourcing and sustainability.Ilan Oshri is the Director of the Centre of Digital Enterprise and a Professor of Information Systems at the University of Auckland Business School, New Zealand. His research interests revolve around sourcing, digital, work and innovation in business services. His work has been published in numerous journals and he also published 26 books and dozens of industry reports and teaching cases on global sourcing, digital transformations and emerging technologies.Julia Kotlarsky is a Professor of Information Systems at the University of Auckland Business School, New Zealand. Her research interests revolve around technology sourcing and digital innovation in knowledge-intensive business services, digital sustainability and more recently, studying interface between artificial intelligence technologies and humans, focusing on data issues and digital transformation.

The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring

The global economic edifice built after World War II is a source of unprecedented prosperity. It cannot function without open and predictable international trade, and the peaceful international relations that are its foundation. The rules that enable trade are under attack. Social divisions and great power rivalry have eroded the political support for open trade. The consequence is fragmentation of world trade, its separation into blocks that advance domestic producers or favored nations nearby. These blocs are themselves often pulled apart by competing agendas. The prospects are for vastly reduced economic efficiency and - most ominously - heightened geopolitical tensions. The questions about why this is happening, how economic fragmentation will evolve, and how to respond to it, are uppermost in the minds of policymakers and businesses across the world. These are the questions that Uri Dadush seeks to answer. Since the uncertainty cannot be dispelled, it must be better managed.

Geopolitics, Trade Blocks, and the Fragmentation of World Commerce

This edited volume explores one of the defining phenomena of the contemporary global economy: the internationalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Once constrained by limited resources, geographic distance, and restricted market access, SMEs now operate in interconnected international ecosystems shaped by globalization, digital technologies, and evolving institutional environments. Yet international expansion remains complex, especially across culturally diverse and institutionally heterogeneous contexts.
 
 Bringing together perspectives from international business, institutional theory, cross-cultural management, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation, this volume examines how informal institutions, cultural intelligence, and digitisation influence SME internationalisation. With a comparative focus on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Asia, it demonstrates how informal institutions can compensate for institutional voids while fostering innovation. By emphasizing "soft infrastructure" as a strategic asset, the book challenges approaches that prioritize formal institutions alone and offers a more comprehensive framework for understanding SME growth across borders.

SME Internationalisation

Most of us think about money every day. But how many of us know how it actually works?Every morning, someone unassumingly types numbers into a spreadsheet, hits enter and creates millions of pounds. Somewhere deep underground, a machine most of us will never see props up the entire British economy. And hidden in a vault nearby are individual banknotes worth £100 million each. These are just some of the surprising truths about how money works.The Bank of England know more about the money system than most - after all, it is their job to keep it running smoothly. Now, for the first time, two of its economists take you deep into their vaults to tell you the inside story of money.They explain how ordinary banks are able to create money from scratch, and what stops that descending into chaos. They explore what causes inflation and why one country tried to solve rising prices by asking its citizens to cut all banknotes in half. They uncover how a baby hippo briefly became a global currency, and what that says about the future of money. And they reveal what goes on inside the Bank of England during a banking crisis, and why it means your money is safer now than ever before.Along the way, they explore how money is changing today - and what new technologies like crypto mean for its future. The result is a lively and surprising guide to how money is supposed to work, what happens when it doesn't, and where it might be going next.
