Organizational Risks, Challenges, and
Barriers in Developing Sustainability S

Organizational Risks, Challenges, and Barriers in Developing Sustainability Start-Ups

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

The Emergence of an Arab Global Business

Out of the Middle East

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.

Informal Institutions, Cultural Intelligence, and Digitalisation Impact

SME Internationalisation

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

How to Lead at Every Level

The Book of Leadership (Revised Edition)

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

Make better high-stakes decisions in uncertainty by developing the 3 agilities (emotional, cognitive, and navigational) needed to lead when no clear answers exist. Today's leaders face a difficult challenge: They must make high-stakes decisions before they have enough information to know whether those choices will succeed. Organizations operate in a BANI world, one that is brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and increasingly difficult to predict. Yet many leaders continue to make strategic decisions using mental models built for a more stable era. This book reveals why leaders often narrow their options under pressure, mistake activity for impact, and seek certainty when ambiguity demands something different. Executive coach Karin Blair shows that the quality of strategic decisions depends less on what leaders know and more on what they can hold without reacting, oversimplifying, or forcing premature resolution. Through a powerful framework built around 3 interconnected agilities, readers learn how to <ul><li>build emotional agility to stay grounded under pressure,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to hold competing perspectives and challenge assumptions, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to sustain commitment when results remain uncertain.</li></ul> Filled with practical leadership insights and real-world examples, this book helps leaders expand their decision field, choose coherence over relief, and create strategies that compound into meaningful long-term impact.

3 Agilities for Strategic Decisions

Capacity Under Pressure

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.

The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Entrepreneurship
 is a major reference work and the first of its kind to present a comprehensive overview of this vast and evolving field. Providing readers with reliable and up to date definitions and explanations of the key terms, definitions and concepts, it offers a critical understanding of entrepreneurial people, entrepreneurial organisations, process and the environment in which entrepreneurship happens.
 Presenting an extensive range of issues drawn from both traditional literature as well as the varied new interpretations of entrepreneurship, the Encyclopedia draws on implications for business, work, the arts, economic development, social change society and critical issues of our time, such as inequality, poverty and climate change to name a few. Furthermore entries cover how these implications are manifested in all parts of the world. International in scope and comprising over 200 entries, the Encyclopedia meets the scholarly and referential needs of students, academic researchers, reflective policy makers and practitioners. Content is published online first, long before the static and print e-book editions are available, and therefore immediately citable. Our major reference works have extremely high access rates. Our bespoke online management system, Meteor, supports our editorial teams and authors with submission, review and eventual progress to publication.

Ergebnisse, Leistung und Erfolg werden häufig mit Methoden, Routinen und Zielsystemen erklärt.Wir leben in einem Zeitalter der totalen Verfügbarkeit. Noch nie hatten wir so viel Wissen zur Verfügung wie heute. Künstliche Intelligenz beantwortet Fragen und löst Aufgaben in Sekunden, wofür frühere Generationen Jahre brauchten. Dennoch scheitern viele Menschen und Organisationen an der Umsetzung ihres Wissens und dem nachhaltigen Erreichen eigener Ansprüche.Professor Lukas Martin entschlüsselt dieses Paradoxon basierend auf neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und alten Weisheiten aus Medizin, Neurobiologie und Verhaltenspsychologie.Das Buch untersucht, warum Menschen und Organisationen unter Druck selten ihren Zielen folgen, sondern auf tief verankerte Identitätsstrukturen, Gewohnheiten und innere Selbstbilder zurückfallen.Im Zentrum steht, dass Leistung, Entscheidungsfähigkeit und langfristige Entwicklung weniger von kurzfristiger Optimierung, Balance und Disziplin als von konsistenter, lebenslanger Identitätsbildung abhängt. Auf dieser Grundlage entsteht ein neuer Blick auf Motivation, Resilienz und die Voraussetzungen eines erfüllten und wirksamen Lebens.Ein Sachbuch über Identität, Verhalten und die Frage, warum nachhaltiger Erfolg nicht in Methoden oder Zielen liegt - sondern "inside us".

Warum wir oft wissen, was zu tun ist, es aber trotzdem nicht tun
