This book shows an innovative way for managers to gain a better understanding of emotions in teams and organizational units and thus positively influence agile development in the context of digital transformation of companies. Digitalization does not just lead to technical changes. It dramatically changes the way employees work with each other as well as how executives play their roles. In an agile working environment, middle management in particular loses power, influence, and relevance, and customer relationships are subject to greater affectivity. The result is an increased emotionalization of the actors, which should be recognized and understood prior to designing the emotional landscape of the organization and to developing and implementing successful business models. The author introduces various conventional and AI-based instruments based on current research for handling emotions, supported by practical concepts.

This book demonstrates how companies can effectively promote their business by assuming political responsibility and expanding their investment concept to include a political component. It shows that the success of companies is crucially dependent on socio-political conditions. In other words: politically sustainable management is a business case. Therefore companies should take a closer look at the opportunities at the interface of politics and business.To date, there has not been a satisfactory assessment of the issue of Corporate Political Responsibility (CPR), which combines a conceptual framework with practical measures for implementation. This book remedies that oversight, and shows how companies can develop the necessary attitude and operate in concrete CPR fields of action, illustrated by diagrams and examples. While doing so, the author explains how CPR is different from shere lobbying or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).The author provides an overview of the public realm and its actors, and shows how, through political contributions, they can strengthen the performance of the state and thus their own performance. Companies have unique resources for doing so, and in their own interest they should get involved: being impartial in particular, but partial in principle - when it comes to our liberal way of life as such.

¿Why are we so important?¿; ¿What value do we add?¿; and ¿What good do we create?¿ These are the opening questions posed to management educators in this book.

After questioning the easy adoption of technology (What are we embracing?) and the challenge posed by global warming (Can management education help stop climate change?), the author ends by sketching some leadership lessons required for the future: ¿What lessons can we learn in a black swan event?¿Mixing philosophical analyses with anecdotes from experience, the author does not shy away from discussing controversial views to give direction to current debates. Tracing eight such crucial questions and providing well-researched perspectives, this book is an engaging read for anyone interested in the future direction of business schools in particular and management education in general.¿There are many books and articles on business education, but few as deep and insightful as Contemporary Management Education.
