Business Ethik 3.0: Die neue integrale Ethik aus der Sicht eines CEOs
by Erhard Meyer-GalowProf. Dr. Erhard Meyer-Galow will mit seiner integralen Business Ethik 3.0 zu einem dringend nötigen Umdenken und Handeln anregen. Dabei geht es ihm nicht um Schadensbegrenzung und Kompromisslösungen. Er packt das Problem an der Wurzel, wo es jeden von uns betrifft, nämlich einer zunehmenden Ichbesessenheit, die weder nötig noch tolerierbar ist. Ursache dieser Fehlverhaltensweisen ist hauptsächlich die Angst vor dem Versagen. Daraus resultiert ein Mangel an Achtsamkeit, Mitgefühl, Empathie, Kongruenz und Zuverlässigkeit.Ein erfahrener CEO spricht Klartext über den Mangel an Moral in unserer Wirtschaft und legt ein Konzept für eine neue tragfähige Ethik vor, das über alle bisherigen Versuche hinausgeht. Die International Humanistic Management Association hat Prof. Dr. Erhard Meyer-Galow für sein Buch Business Ethics 3.0-The New Integral Ethics from the Perspective of a CEO als Finalist des Book Awards 2018 (Practice) ausgezeichnet.

Business Groups and Strategic Coopetition (Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society)
by Patryk Dziurski Wioletta MierzejewskaBusiness Groups and Strategic Coopetition sheds lights on the poorly recognised problem of intra-organisational relationships within business groups by adopting the coopetition lens. It brings together the strategic management (coopetition and performance) and international management perspectives (business groups and its role in the economy). It is a unique proposition as those two research streams, such as business groups and coopetition, are rarely assessed together. The coopetition, which is seen as the strategy of value creating in the rapidly changing environment, brings benefits, such as an increased innovation, cost reduction, access to resources, and improved competitive position that could be capture by business groups as well. However, the understanding of complex organisations, such as business group, and answering the question how to manage intra-level coopetition to gain better performance therein is still unclear. Therefore, the book aims to extends the knowledge in the field of internal relationships within business groups as well as the coopetition phenomenon. This book is written to meet needs of researchers, students as well as managers and to present an integrated view on the coopetition within business groups.
Business Growth in Times of Instability: Empowering Private Companies Through Disaster Risk Reduction (Contemporary Humanitarian Action and Emergency Management)
by Diego OteguiThis book aims to be a comprehensive resource for crafting strategies to help private companies navigate and thrive in unpredictable and challenging operational landscapes. This endeavor is rooted in the desire to furnish decision-makers with a structured framework and practical tools, empowering them to facilitate business growth even during times of crisis. At the heart of this overarching goal lies a tangible mission: encouraging businesses to become proactive and influential participants in disaster risk reduction. This inquiry seeks to uncover the active contributions that the private sector can make, understand why its involvement is crucial, and identify effective strategies to harness its capabilities. The book discusses disaster risk reduction as a valid corporate strategy to maintain business continuity, but also as a means to increase market share. It presents a very detailed and easy-to-follow strategy for private businesses willing to take advantage of opportunities within a context of instability while helping increase community resilience to disaster risk and humanitarian crises. To do so, it merges business and institutional theory complemented by the author's personal accounts and experience. Business Growth in Times of Instability: Empowering Private Companies Through Disaster Risk Reduction will be a valuable resource for corporate leaders interested in learning about the dual disaster risk they face – the direct impact of a disaster event and the indirect impact created by the impact in the market – and finding tools to not only face these risks but also grow their businesses, even in times of instability.
Business Improvement Districts in the United States: Private Government and Public Consequences
by Abraham UngerThis book examines how privatization has transformed cities, particularly through the role of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in the revitalization of America’s downtown. These public-private partnerships between property owners and municipal government have developed retail strips across the United States into lifestyle and commercial hubs. BIDs are non-profit community organizations with the public power to tax and spend on services in their districts, but they are unelected bodies often operating in the shadows of local government. They work as agents of economic development, but are they democratic? What can we learn from BIDs about the accountability of public-private partnerships, and how they impact our lives as citizens? Unger explores these questions of local democracy and urban political economy in this age of rampant privatization and the reinvention of neighborhoods.
