Reimagining business models is a tall order for any management team, and especially so in today's business landscape of continual disruptive change. Having examined hundreds of businesses over the course of their research, the BCG Henderson Institute has developed a systematic approach for reimagining business models for economic and social sustainability, creating new modes of differentiation and advantage, embedding societal value into products and services, managing new performance measures, and reshaping business ecosystems to support these initiatives. This book explores the why, what, and how of sustainable business model innovation (SBM-I) - a new method by which corporations can optimize for both business and social value using their core businesses to deliver the financial returns expected by their owners and, in tandem, to help society meet its most significant challenges. It details the SBM-I innovation cycle linking to value creation and scaled transformation, and expands the application of SBM-I to sustainable business ecosystems and corporate lead sustainability alliances. Sustainable Business Model Innovation offers inspiration and guidance to create more competitive and sustainable companies. Your company's future, our environment, and society depend on doing so.

In recent years, after realizing that personal beliefs and spiritual development are as important as mental strength, studies in the field of spirituality in the workplace have grown exponentially. The experts here provide conceptual frameworks and guidance by examining the subject in the light of current developments at multiple levels of analysis: individual, organizational, cultural, and in leadership. Furthermore, this book focuses on rapidly evolving business models: remote working, the cyber-workplace, social media, digitalization, etc - all accelerated by the COVID-19 epidemic.The concept of spirituality in the workplace can be harmful as well as beneficial. Employees who are spiritually attached to the workplace may ignore issues known as 'organizational deviation' (such as theft and corruption) by keeping the interests of the institution in the foreground. These 'dark' and 'invisible' aspects of spirituality in the workplace are also examined, with a special focus on identifying aspects of spirituality which can harm businesses.Spirituality in the workplace considers employees as a whole, in spirit, body, and mind.

Economics is an area of social studies that measure how people satisfy unlimited wants and needs with limited resources. There are three levels of economics, namely: macroeconomics, microeconomics, and home economicsThis publication, Economics; the Road to Graduation, is over 440 pages and contains twenty-two essays, including; microeconomic, macroeconomic, home economic>Microeconomics is the social science that studies the implications of incentives prices, resource prices and production methods, and decisions, specifically how those affect the utilisation and distribution of resources. The microeconomic theory deals with four crucial issues at an individual; What should be produced?How much should it be produced?How can one make the best use of given resources while producing goods and services to maximise production and consumption efficiency or maximise the returns for an individual (firm, industry, household etc.?. How the goods and services can be distributed for maximum well-being?MacroeconomicMacroeconomics is the branch of economics that deals with the structure, performance, behaviour, performance, and decision-making of an economy. It focuses on the aggregate changes in the economy, such as inflation, unemployment rate, national income, gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, economic growth, Markets, business, consumers, government behaviour, and Price Level. Macroeconomics attempts to measure how well an economy is performing, understand what forces drive it, and project how performance can improve. The two main areas of macroeconomic research are long-term economic growth and shorter-term business cycles.Some of the critical questions addressed by macroeconomics include: What causes unemployment? What causes inflation? What creates or stimulates economic growth?The Evolution of MacroeconomicsMacroeconomics in its modern form is often defined as starting with John Maynard Keynes and his theories about market behaviour and governmental policies in the 1930s when it became apparent that classic economic theory (derived from microeconomics) was only sometimes directly applicable to nationwide economic behaviour. Classic economic theory assumes that economies always return to a state of equilibrium. In essence, this means that if demand for a product increases, the prices for that product get higher and individual companies rise to meet the demand. However, during the Great Depression, there was low output and wide-scale unemployment. Clearly, this did not indicate equilibrium on a macroeconomic scale.Macroeconomics helps a government evaluate an economy's performance and decide on actions to increase or slow growth.Macroeconomics helps a government evaluate an economy's performance and decide on actions to increase or slow growth.Home economics, also known as domestic economy, human sciences, and home science. Or family and consumer sciences is a field of study that concerns the management and economics of the community and home. Although it was primarily meant for girls and young women, all genders are involved in home economics classes.

Auf die Frage, wie etablierte Unternehmen mit disruptiven Herausforderungen umgehen sollen, gibt es nur wenige Antworten. Dieser Lücke nimmt sich das Buch an. Aus zahlreichen Untersuchungen, Workshops und Diskussionsrunden wurde ein Managementansatz entwickelt, der eine erfolgreiche Selbstdisruption in etablierten Unternehmen unterstützt. Ein solcher Ansatz muss sich vom Vorgehen vieler disruptiver Angreifer unterscheiden. Etablierte Unternehmen mit großen und teilweise trägen Organisationen wehren sich gegen eine von oben verordnete «Start-up Mentalität». Auch dauert es in etablierten Unternehmen viel zu lange, Innovationen voranzutreiben und später auf das Kerngeschäft zu übertragen. Im Fokus steht deshalb die erfolgreiche Transformation im Kerngeschäft. Es muss etablierten Anbietern gelingen, eine permanente Selbstdisruption voranzutreiben. Erfolgreiche Transformation von Geschäftsmodellen in disruptiven Zeiten unterstützt diese Leitidee. Das erste Kapitel begründet die Bedeutung disruptiver Veränderungen, definiert den Begriff einer Disruption und erklärt die damit verbundenen Managementherausforderungen. Das zweite Kapitel schärft das Verständnis für disruptive Veränderungen in Unternehmen und stellt erste Tools für das Management bereit. Es werden zentrale Treiber disruptiver Prozesse identifiziert, vor den häufigsten Managementfehlern gewarnt, erklärt, wie Manager den Zeitpunkt für ein proaktives Handeln nicht verpassen, sowie das Vorgehen der Angreifer, um etablierte Unternehmen aus dem Markt zu drängen, beschrieben. Kapitel 3 begründet den spezifischen "High 5 Managementansatz für eine erfolgreiche Geschäftsmodelltransformation". Zunächst werden zentrale Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung über Geschäftsmodelle zusammengefasst. Die Funktion von Geschäftsmodellen, deren Charakteristika, sowie die Ableitung von 5 Handlungsfeldern, stehen im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung. Aufbauend auf diesen Grundlagen, wird ein anwendungsorientierter Managementansatz entwickelt. Für jedes der 5 zentralen Handlungsfelder werden konkrete Aufgaben vorgestellt, welche im Falle einer Geschäftsmodelltransformation zu beachten sind. Das vierte Kapitel illustriert die Anwendung des High 5 Ansatzes. Anhand von zahlreichen Fallbeispielen werden erfolgreiche und erfolglose Transformationsprozesse in Unternehmen beschrieben. Die Fälle entstammen unterschiedlichen Branchen und setzen Schwerpunkte im Hinblick auf unsere Handlungsfelder. Das fünfte Kapitel geht auf die "Führung von Transformationsprozessen" ein. Leitgedanken zur Führung einer erfolgreichen Selbstdisruption sollen helfen, das Risiko des Scheiterns zu reduzieren. Die Ausführungen sprechen typische Stolpersteine an und unterbreiten erste Vorschläge, um die mentalen Voraussetzungen in der Belegschaft für einen erfolgreichen Wandel zu schaffen. Das Buch wendet sich an das Management unterschiedlicher Branchen. Manager in etablierten Unternehmen - zu denen ca. 95% aller Betriebe zählen - erhalten mit diesem Buch einen theoretisch fundierten und praxistauglichen Leitfaden. Über 20 Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen unseren High 5 Ansatz einer erfolgreichen Geschäftsmodelltransformation.
