Palgrave Studies in Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenization in Business

This book sheds light onto the complexities of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), a region rich in history and cultural variety, yet underrepresented in DEI studies. Focusing on DEI issues from a translocal perspective, it explores the interplay between historical legacies and contemporary challenges, examines DEI in the workplace, and addresses various intersectionalities of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and ability in the context of CEE region.Engaging with current debates on globalization, migration, nationalism, and the socio-political dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, this work brings regional specificities into broader scholarly and policy discussions while challenging the predominantly Western-centric discourse in DEI scholarship.This volume will appeal to researchers in business as well as the social sciences seeking a deeper understanding of DEI within CEE, encouraging a nuanced approach to studying and addressing equity and inclusion in a region with a complex historical and contemporary landscape. It also enriches the global discourse on DEI, serving as a crucial resource for developing context-specific strategies to enhance inclusivity in Central and Eastern Europe.Anna M. Górska

New Perspectives in Organizational Communication

This volume presents new research on a flourishing and evolving leader communication theory – motivating language. Divided into three parts, it explores the foundations of the field, its antecedents and outcomes, and its application in various industries and contexts. The authors re-examine the theoretical foundations of the theory and its potential in dialogic and virtual settings. They also explore various extensions of motivating language, including its applications during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Integrating a broad scope of approaches that draws from diverse fields, this work offers researchers in management, leadership, and business communication overviews of recent research as well as extensions of motivating language theory that will advance the field.

Organizational Communication for Impact, Inclusion, and Purpose

Emerging Insights in Leader Motivating Language Theory

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2026 in the subject Guidebooks - School, Education, Pedagogy, , course: Education Management and Administration, language: English, abstract: Zambia's rural households face recurrent climate shocks, thin markets, and persistent poverty, which heighten vulnerability and limit productive investment. In this context, work¿conditional social protection programmes such as Food¿for¿Work (FFW) and Cash¿for¿Work (CFW) aim to stabilise consumption while building community assets. Yet evidence on their comparative effectiveness remains fragmented and sensitive to market conditions, seasonality, and implementation quality.
This thesis assesses FFW and CFW in Zambia, examining targeting accuracy, delivery efficiency, asset quality, and cost¿effectiveness, alongside impacts on food security, diversification, savings, debt, assets, labour allocation, and subjective well¿being. Special attention is given to heterogeneity by market access, timing within agricultural calendars, gender, and shock exposure. A mixed¿methods design combines a three¿wave household panel with qualitative process data. Propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting construct comparable groups, followed by difference¿in¿differences and fixed¿effects models; instrumental variables address potential endogeneity. Standardised indicators including HDDS, FCS, CSI, PMT scores, and Simpson Index guide measurement. 
Results show both modalities reduce negative coping and stabilise consumption. CFW yields greater improvements in dietary diversity and flexibility where markets and payment systems function well. FFW performs better in remote areas, during price spikes, and in lean seasons by guaranteeing staple supplies. Timing is critical: pre¿lean¿season transfers reduce distress sales and improve input access. CFW supports small enterprise entry, savings, and livestock gains; FFW protects schooling, meal frequency, and labour productivity. Both reduce high¿interest borrowing, though via different channels. 
Implementation quality strongly shapes outcomes. FFW faces logistical risks, while CFW is vulnerable to payment delays and inflation. Cost¿effectiveness varies by geography, with CFW cheaper in connected areas and FFW preferable where cash conversion is costly. Gender effects show increased autonomy under CFW and reduced budgeting stress under FFW, moderated by childcare and worksite conditions.

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

A Fast Company Press BookBe Unreachable to AI MachinesWe are living in a time where we must decide which side to stand on: AI-obsessed or AI-afraid. We surrender our critical thinking to the machine, or reject all things AI. But are these really the only two choices? There is a better way. Utilizing decades of CXO experiences and a storied career at the intersection of innovation and technology, Mohan Nair delivers a bold blueprint for thriving in the age of Gen AI without sacrificing the very traits that make us human. Research shows that by allowing Gen AI to think for us, we risk cognitive atrophy. Nair's surprisingly simple antidote? Exercise your aha moments and build scaffolding for your transformational ideas. Through research, field insight, and real-world case studies, Nair theorizes how to ignite your inner innovator by tapping into aha moments where original insight lives. You will command AI tools and create what machines cannot: the yet-to-be-created. Subdue AI-obsession and AI-fear. Become insight-powered and AI-enabled. Be UNREACHABLE.

Gesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft

Die Public Health Humanities verstehen Gesundheit und Krankheit als kulturell und sozial geprägte Phänomene. Sie ergänzen die empirisch orientierte Multidisziplin Public Health um geisteswissenschaftliche und künstlerische Perspektiven. Dabei fragen sie nach der Bedeutung des Künstlerischen für die Gesundheit, interessieren sich für moralische, soziale und kulturelle Dimensionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit in Kunst bzw. Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.
