Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book is open access, What makes people competent at work? This question is becoming complicated with the emergence of new technologies and the hastened pace of global economic exchanges. While there is less consensus about what people should know and be able to do to be rewarded in the workplace, the discussion about skills and competencies becomes even hotter among those who express concern about the gaps between the demands and supplies of "skilled" workforces.
&nbsp;
Given this situation, one of the main objectives of this book is to clarify the true nature of often-discussed "skills gaps", using the cases of manufacturing workers in the Global South. Instead of discussing the issues based on a broad, ambiguous understanding of human abilities, after an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature and theorization, the book proposes a detailed classification of cognitive, non-cognitive (including socio-emotional skills and personality traits), and technical abilities. Then, it presents both contextually relevant and generalizable explanations about relationships among them. By doing so, the volume offers insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking ideas to reform their human resources development policies and practices.
&nbsp;
The second objective of the volume is to propose the analytical perspective of Realist-Constructivism, using the "skills gaps" analysis as the empirical case, to demonstrate its theoretical, conceptual, and practical capacities to overcome the dichotomy between induction and deduction through abductive reasoning with a set of instruments to collect data that enable such analysis.
&nbsp;
Empirical surveys, using a set of questionnaires and skills assessment we developed, were conducted in four countries in the Global South: Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and Pakistan. With Realist-Constructivism, we can consider work-related competencies in close relation to the specific workplace requirements and culture, while situating them within broader industrial, economic, and regulatory frameworks. Our methods and instruments enable us to link the subjective epistemologies of competencies among individuals in the micro-ecologies of the workplace with the ontological realities of labor market opportunities and evaluations.

A Realist-Constructivism Analysis of Work Competencies in the Global South

Mitigating the “Skills Gaps”

China hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine beeindruckende Transformation vollzogen. Dennoch wird das Bild Chinas in der westlichen Welt oft von veralteten Vorstellungen und Klischees bestimmt. Verstehen wir tatsächlich die chinesische Gesellschaft, ihre Menschen und ihre Wirtschaft? Und wie konnte es gelingen, einen derart rasanten wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg zu realisieren?Das wirtschaftliche Gravitationszentrum der Welt verlagert sich, weg vom Atlantik und Europa, hin zum Pazifikraum. Die chinesische Regierung bereitet sich strategisch auf dieses neue Zeitalter des 21. Jahrhunderts vor. Europa und die Europäische Union sollten es ihr gleichtun. Dafür ist jedoch entscheidend, dass wir uns zunächst darüber klar werden, welche Ziele und Interessen wir in dieser neuen globalen Ordnung verfolgen wollen.&nbsp;Der InhaltDieses Buch soll mit verschiedenen Sichtweisen dazu beitragen ein Verständnis zu schaffen, Wissen zu vermitteln und persönliche Erfahrungen zu teilen. Denn nur Offenheit und gegenseitiger Respekt kann dazu dienen, China zu verstehen, besonders aus deutscher Sicht.Mit Beiträgen von: Julian Backhaus, Rolf Claessen, Ashley Dudarenok, Martina Fuchs, Emanuela Hanes, Dagobert Hartmann, Stefanie Liliane Hegger, Jutta Hensel, Alexandra Hildebrandt, Manfred Huschka, Stephan Jüngling, Francis Kremer, Anastasia Lauterbach, Helmut Merkel, Derek Meyer, René Ruschmeier, Michael Schumann, Sophia Slingerland, Patrick Soureck, Alexandra Stefanov, Urs Unkauf, Wai Manske Wang, Thomas Cherico Wanger, Ilka Waßmann, Christoph Weber, Miriam Wickertsheim, Kevin Johannes Woerner, Mingqi Xie, Wanze Zhang und Moonie Zhu.&nbsp;Der Herausgeber&nbsp;Tobias W.

China hat in den vergangenen Jahren eine atemberaubende Entwicklung erlebt. Trotzdem ist das China-Bild besonders in der westlichen Welt von Vorstellungen und Klischees geprägt. Verstehen wir die chinesische Gesellschaft, die Menschen und die Wirtschaft wirklich? Wie konnte es China gelingen, so einen rasanten wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg zu schaffen?&nbsp;
 
 Das zukünftige wirtschaftliche Zentrum der Welt sind nicht mehr der Atlantik und Europa. Die Zukunft wird sich um den Pazifik abspielen. Die Chinas Regierung wappnet sich für dieses kommende Zeitalter im 21. Jahrhundert. Wir in Europa und der EU sollten das besser auch tun. Dazu müssten wir uns aber darüber einig sein, was wir eigentlich wollen.
 
 Dieses Buch soll mit verschiedenen Sichtweisen dazu beitragen ein Verständnis zu schaffen, Wissen zu vermitteln und persönliche Erfahrungen zu teilen. Denn nur Offenheit und gegenseitiger Respekt kann dazu dienen, China zu verstehen, besonders aus deutscher Sicht.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

In the dynamic sphere of international business, the role of a global manager is more complex and vital than ever. This textbook crucially departs from the typical Western gaze on cross-cultural management, while offering a unique three way viewpoint taking into account the student, theoretical and practitioner perspectives on every issue. Each chapter explores a key area of cross-cultural management, and includes insights from leading practitioners, contemporary case studies and management theory. Beginning with the foundational aspects of culture, Cross-Cultural Management: Strategic Leadership Beyond Borders swiftly moves into practical management strategies for virtual, hybrid and in-country teams, addressing the nuances of culture shift and the dynamics of change management. The author uses an innovative Cultural Acuity framework to connect theory to application and help you develop the interpretive, reflective, and adaptive skills required to operate effectively in complex international environments. You will also gain insights into the intricacies of geopolitics and how global contexts shape managerial decisions, with a focus on strategic planning tailored to diverse cultural landscapes. The author dissects institutional behaviour to illuminate the impacts of varying procedures, laws and regulations; the chapter on collaboration offers a roadmap from basic teamwork to the creation of high-performing, culturally diverse teams. The textbook delves into the art of talent management in a globalized world, exploring best practices for recruitment, onboarding and retention in multicultural environments. Cross-Cultural Management: Strategic Leadership Beyond Borders is not just a collection of theories; it is enriched with case studies and real-world insights, ensuring that you can apply what you learn directly to your managerial role. It is the perfect resource for managers, researchers and students of International Business and Cross-Cultural Management who aim to lead with foresight, embracing both current cross-cultural realities and the future trends that will shape the global business landscape.

Palgrave Studies in Impact Finance

This Open Access book explores the evolving landscape of non-financial reporting and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance, with a specific focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises. Drawing on European regulatory frameworks, stakeholder theory, and empirical case studies, the book examines how SMEs navigate sustainability demands in a context traditionally dominated by large corporations and global standards.The book addresses the historical evolution of CSR, the challenges of ESG integration for investors, and the methodological development of a composite ESG indicator tailored to SMEs. It introduces innovative tools such as the Mazziotta–Pareto Index and participatory accounting frameworks like CARE and SEMA, offering practical insights into ESG measurement and reporting. Through comparative case studies and analysis, it bridges the gap between ESG theory and SME realities, contributing to both academic research and professional practice.Ideal for scholars in economics, finance, and sustainability, as well as practitioners and policymakers, this book advances the conversation on responsible innovation, regional development, and the future of ESG in the SME sector.

Law and Religion in a Global Context

This book is the first study to consider findings from sociology, legal anthropology, ethnology, legal pluralism, comparative law and theology in order to gain a better understanding of the diverse cultures of global Catholicism and the cross-cultural challenges arising from Roman Catholic canon law within the local churches. The author, renowned for her work at the intersection of socio-legal studies and canon law, examines the latter as a distinctive example of a European religious legal system that cuts across the myriad legal cultures of the local churches. In light of findings on legal transfer and legal colonialism, and by examining canon law within the emerging field of social and cultural studies approaches to law, her book sheds light on how canon law is imposed upon and received by the local churches around the world. It analyses the challenges and problems arising from the law’s transcultural claims within these churches. Based on these observations, the study discusses the critical stance of canon law within contemporary Catholicism and the current debates on a synodal reform of the church and its law.&nbsp; The book adopts different perspectives: As a sociological study, it describes the contemporary Eurocentrism of global canon law and the conflicts arising from it. As a theological study, it presents ecclesiological reasons for challenging the hegemony of global legislation. As a study of canon law, it suggests ways in which legislation could permit greater diversity while maintaining the unity of the universal church. By analysing canon law as a specific example of a religious legal order with cross-cultural ambitions and global claims, the book also contributes to the study of transnational law in general by illustrating the typical problems that accompany transnational legal regimes in both secular legal systems and religious groups.

The Cultures of Canon Law

How corporations can address legacies of historical oppression in ways that are good for them and good for others. Increasingly, corporate executives find themselves called upon to atone for their predecessors’ moral transgressions. While many are prepared to address inherited failed product lines or dysfunctional teams, few know how to handle demands that their enterprise address legacies of mass atrocity such as slavery, genocide, or colonialism. In Corporate Reckoning, Sarah Federman provides a corporate atonement model for corporate leaders and employees across industries around the world. When survivors and descendants demand reckoning, many corporate leaders initially shirk the responsibilities that follow from these requests. They may claim that history belongs to the historians, that their company’s activities were legal at the time, or that too much time has passed. If it comes to it, courts will rule in their favor, they reassure themselves. Others avoid these issues simply because they have no idea how to address them. Demands for reckoning ebb and flow, but these histories do not disappear. This book offers a way forward that serves companies and those affected by these historical harms. Taking responsibility for irreparable harm is not easy or comfortable. Despite the dilemmas and difficulties, the only way out is through.
