Social Entrepreneurship. Unternehmerische Kompetenzen und Geschäftsmodellentwicklung im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs

Anyone can be a contrarian. Effective leaders are smart about when--and how--they go against conventional wisdom to succeed.Contrarians are, by and large, ineffective. Their countervailing ideas don't gain support. Their pleas for understanding are dismissed. Their efforts to change minds backfire. But it's not because they're always wrong. It's because they're not smart about going against the grain. People tend to think of contrarianism as some innate trait that you either have or you don't. It's not. It's a way of thinking and a set of skills that can be learned and practiced.This provocative and deeply researched book teaches those skills. Strategy scholars Chengwei Liu and Balázs Kovács reveal how exceptional performance is far less predictable--and far less meritocratic--than most people believe. Drawing on insights from behavioral science, business strategy, finance, sports, entertainment, and entrepreneurship, they show how luck, social dynamics, institutional conformity, and hidden biases shape who succeeds, who fails, and which ideas rise to the top.The authors uncover why consensus thinking so often leads organizations and leaders astray through fascinating stories ranging from PSY's "Gangnam Style" to the rise of Capital One to venture capital bets, celebrity CEOs, financial collapses, and viral cultural phenomena. They introduce a powerful framework for spotting overlooked opportunities, avoiding costly decision traps, and building organizations that learn faster than their competitors do.Leaders and professionals who thrive are not reckless rebels or irrational gamblers but disciplined, smart contrarians who know how to separate signal from hype, skill from luck, and genuine innovation from fashionable noise.Fresh and highly original--and a joy to read--Smart Contrarians is the guide for executives, leaders, entrepreneurs, and all ambitious professionals who want to zig when everyone else zags.

How to Think Differently about Thinking Differently

Smart Contrarians

Routledge Studies in Development Economics

The Political Economy of International Development Assistance

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.

Ethnic and Indigenous Business Studies

How could 
 Homo sapiens
 survive for so long when all other 
 Homo
 went extinct? This multidisciplinary book provides a detailed synthesis of published knowledge by archaeologists and other scientists on the production, trade and daily activities of ancient peoples. It locates populations within the changing environment of the planet (glaciations and deglaciations, wet and dry climates, physical, economic, and social periods over the long spans of the Pleistocene and Holocene). Research for this work was sourced from various fields, including archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, geology, zoology, and paleontology. Emerging disciplines such as genomics, paleobiology, paleomedicine and zoopharmacognosy contribute new insights into the living conditions and challenges that confronted our ancestors.
 The first part of the book focuses mainly on Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, particularly North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico), although some sources and examples are drawn from other regions of the world. Through case studies based on scholarly records, ancient networks covering distances of thousands of kilometers in Africa, North America and Eurasia are described. The second part addresses ancient modes of survival, communication, storytelling, and migration of Indigenous populations in their traditional natural environments, from the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras to the present. Diet, horticulture, and modes of land, river, and sea transport are detailed, in the context of migration routes from Africa to Eurasia and in the Pacific and the Americas. The third part deals with the past seven and the next seven generations. It provides a description of recent and present-day Indigenous peoples and communities and their interactions with governments and industries. Case studies illustrate issues about the legitimacy of foreign or domestic companies operating on Indigenous territories, both in North America and some other continents. The traditional mindset of certain Indigenous populations in North America is described. The book concludes with an examination of how business legitimacy may be established and the types of engagement approaches recommended by Indigenous communities’ leaders.

Studies on Entrepreneurship, Structural Change and Industrial Dynamics

Small firms drive circular economy transitions, yet the literature treats them as a single category — SMEs — addressed by the same instruments and policies. This book argues against that homogenisation. Drawing on empirical and conceptual contributions, the chapters demonstrate that entrepreneurial agency and ecosystem structure continuously reshape one another. Owner–manager centrality functions simultaneously as capability and liability. Ecosystem embeddedness provides resource access while generating structural vulnerability. Unidirectional causal models cannot capture these dynamics. The volume advances a theoretically grounded account of co-constitution — the bidirectional feedback through which small firms navigate circular transitions. It offers an analytical framework, policy implications for meso-level intervention, and a research agenda centred on three core tensions: capability versus liability, access versus vulnerability, and unidirectional causality versus bidirectional co-constitution.&nbsp;

Reframing Circular Transitions

This volume advances a critical conversation at the intersection of business management, innovation, and sustainable development by offering an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on how organizations can navigate complexity while driving long-term societal value. Bringing together insights from human resource management, technological transformation, and inclusive economic systems, the book develops a coherent framework for understanding how organizations translate strategy into impact.Structured across five thematic sections, the volume examines: the role of inclusive and ethical leadership in shaping organizational cultures; the mechanisms through which creativity and adaptive capabilities support resilient business models; the linkages between finance, development, and economic inclusion; the strategic implications of emerging digital technologies; and the growing influence of ESG and sustainability frameworks on organizational practice.Distinguished by its integration of theory and application, the book draws on established and emerging perspectives; including human-centered management approaches, innovation systems thinking, and digitally enabled transformation to illuminate the pathways through which organizations respond to contemporary challenges. It offers both conceptual clarity and practical insight into how firms can align performance with broader societal outcomes.This volume will be of particular interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand how management and innovation can be mobilized to address global development challenges. By situating organizational strategy within a broader socio-economic context, it provides a rigorous and forward-looking contribution to the evolving field of responsible and sustainable business.Ethel Ndidiamaka Abe

Wachstum beginnt nicht im Markt, sondern im Kopf. Nicht Strategie allein entscheidet über unternehmerischen Erfolg, sondern die Fähigkeit, das eigene Mindset zu verstehen und Führung als Selbstführung zu begreifen.
 
 Dieses Fachbuch verbindet Erkenntnisse aus Wirtschaftspsychologie, Neurowissenschaft und jahrzehntelanger unternehmerischer Erfahrung zu einem praxisnahen Wegweiser für Gründer und Führungskräfte. Der Autor zeigt, wie Identität und mentale Energie die Entscheidungsqualität prägen, warum Strategien oft an starren Denkmustern scheitern und wie Intuition und Analyse sich ergänzen.
 
 Im Zentrum stehen zentrale Fragen moderner Unternehmensführung: Wie treffe ich unter Druck klare Entscheidungen? Wie nutze ich Künstliche Intelligenz, ohne mein eigenes Denken zu verlieren?
 
 Reflexionsfragen und Praxisübungen helfen, blinde Flecken zu erkennen und eine klare, wachstumsorientierte Unternehmerpersönlichkeit zu entwickeln.
 Der Inhalt<ul><li>Realität: Die Vorbereitung – Warum Wachstum im Kopf entsteht</li><li>Steuerung: Das Training – Wie Unternehmer wirklich denken und entscheiden</li><li>Transformation: Der Wettkampf – Wie echtes Wachstum entsteht</li><li>Skalierung: Die Ziellinie – Wirkung, Klarheit und unternehmerische Reife</li></ul>
