Sacco F: Rethinking Global Value Chains
for Resilience in a Turbulent World

Rethinking Global Value Chains for Resilience in a Turbulent World

An Actor-Centric Perspective

Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society

Navigating Organizational Complexity explores the challenges of contemporary management in an era defined by unpredictability, complexity, and environmental volatility. Drawing on Nassim Taleb's metaphor of the "black swan," the book expands this concept to include a typology of transformative events: Black Swans (negative and unexpected), White Swans (positive and unexpected), Grey Swans (known but neglected threats), and Green Swans (long-term environmental megatrends). Through interdisciplinary analysis, it examines how organizations can build resilience, adapt to uncertainty, and thrive in the face of disruption. It offers practical tools and frameworks for strategic foresight, leadership, and risk management, making it an essential resource for navigating the complexities of the modern business environment. Key features include an innovative approach to the "black swan" metaphor, integrating concepts such as antifragility, organizational resilience, and sustainability. The book combines insights from management, sociology, psychology, and economics, with references to global crises, climate change, and digitization. Readers will benefit from practical strategies for fostering adaptability, learning cultures, and visionary leadership, supported by rich academic literature and real-world examples. It is ideal for academics, researchers, and advanced students in management, organizational studies, and sustainability, as well as business leaders seeking actionable insights to future-proof their organizations.

Resilience and Adaptability from Black Swans to Green

Navigating Organizational Complexity

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.

Strategic Leadership Beyond Borders

Cross-Cultural Management

Despite the growing population and significant natural resources of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), economies in that region currently represent only 2% of global GDP. Finished goods are imported to Africa from the US, Europe, China and Japan, while commodities remain the primary export. Addressing this balance must be the primary focus of initiatives to foster economic growth and development across the region in the coming years. However, there is currently a lack of intellectual discourse that incorporates diverse firm-level and institutional-level theories, as well as the stakeholder perspective, to explain the transformation of Sub-Saharan Africa into a production economy. This two-volume edited work brings together scholars of business in Africa and economic transformation to discuss topics including the knowledge economy, inter-regional relations, supply chains, the informal economy, the service sector and more, creating a broad and probing analysis of Africa’s potential for transformation and strategies to achieve it.This first volume explores a multidisciplinary perspective on the transformation of SSA’s economies to production and export orientation, which entail: facilitating SSA’s economic transformation through regional relations; the role of SSA’s informal sector on regional relations and economic transformation; and the recommendations for economic transforming in SSA. It will be of interest to scholars of business in Africa, international business, developing economies, business strategy and innovation.Ayodotun Stephen Ibidunni

Navigating the Global Workplace

Mastering Cross-Cultural Management

European Yearbook of International Economic Law

EYIEL Monographs - Studies in European and International Economic Law

This book provides a critical examination of the deficiencies in decent work within global supply chains. It explicitly identifies and discusses the core elements of decent work as defined by the International Labour Organisation's (ILO) decent work agenda, while underscoring the essential international human and labour rights principles that are integral to achieving these standards. The study firmly asserts that multinational enterprises (MNEs) have a pivotal role in advancing decent work initiatives. However, it is undeniable that many of these enterprises frequently fail to comply with established decent work standards. MNEs have gained stronger international influence, and they are able to move their businesses to countries with low cost of labour and less regulations. This phenomenon weakens the governments of host nations as they are keen to promote foreign direct investment in order to reduce unemployment and to ensure economic growth. As a result, the host nations are encouraged to set laws that will attract MNEs at the expense of human and core labour rights. As a result, MNEs are not held accountable in respect of alleged abuses of human and labour rights.
This book recommends regulatory reforms, which will empower the ILO to intervene to prevent human and labour rights violations by MNEs and where such violations occur, to at least provide effective remedies to vulnerable employees.

Contemporary Finance

Routledge International Studies in Business History

For two centuries, multinational enterprises (MNEs) have arrived in waves on Australia's shores. Highly visible and influential household names among them -Ford, IBM, Kodak, Electrolux, ANZ - but also many smaller, lesser-known enterprises. Foreign MNEs in Australia today account for almost half of our top 2000 firms and control over A$1.4 trillion of assets. There is much we do not understand about these important institutions, why they chose to invest here, how they entered, and why some firms survived for long periods, but others exited.The history of MNEs, more than most topics, is inextricably connected to international experience. Across half a century of research, their history has emerged as a vibrant field of investigation in North America, Europe and, increasingly, Asia. MNE activity in Australia, briefly referenced in some of these studies, formed an important part of the global presence of many firms. This is the first history of foreign MNEs in twentieth-century Australia, filling a major gap in the economic and business history literature of Australia and of the history of international business globally. It integrates the important and distinctive Australian experience with an extensive international and comparative scholarship on big business and multinational enterprise.
