This book explores a most central phenomenon in our contemporary businesses and organization, the growing complexity in business. Economic growth and growth of complexity always have been inseparable, but the last decennia the growth of complexity appears to outrun our growth of knowledge and understanding. For success and continuity, the modern firm in the developing complexity of its markets and societal contexts must have the capacity to master and exploit a commensurate level of complexity in its internal organization. This book is the first of its kind to help the reader to understand the different types of complexity and the different concepts and tools to deal with each of them in business administration, strategy, and organization. This book offers the reader a fresh perspective on conventional concepts and tools in the field of business administration and bridges these to new concepts as are being used to exploit new complexities. In the process, the reader becomes familiarwith the rich cybernetic concept of information, as a basis for the information-based organization and to master big data. With that complex decision-making is clarified and a fresh understanding of the core function of the organization, coordination, is offered for those who want to solve the issue of self-coordination. The book provides working examples but even more the strongest tool to master and to reduce complexity: a deeper and broader understanding of what is going on beneath the surface of what we experience daily. This book builds on Herbert Simon¿s hypothesis of simplicity: ¿to use the simplicity of process to deal with the complexity of state.¿

This book examines the inter-firm networks created by interlock coordination through shared directors (inter-board) and managers (inter-department) at various levels: whole aggregate, core vs. peripheral companies, and distribution by country and sector. Presenting an empirical case study on all the limited liability or stock companies of the aerospace industry in the European Union and its interlock partners worldwide, the authors shed new light on these forms of coordination. Moreover, they reveal the relevance of shared managers¿ coordination and hybrid manager-director interlocks.The book applies advanced statistical and social network analysis alike by combining firms¿ attributes (e.g. standard economic-financial parameters) and topological indices for firms (e.g. centrality and cluster measures). By conducting the analysis at both the aggregate network level and the cluster or corporate group level, the authors show how extensive and intensive the interlock forms of coordination are, especially when dealing with shared managers. By testing seven hypotheses concerning the research stream on board interlocks and (more broadly) inter-firm networks, the study offers new insights into the role of the financial sector, on the relations between interlock coordination and firms¿ performance, on the role of geographical, technological and organizational proximity, and on the relations between interlock coordination and firms¿ size. As such, this book will appeal to scholars of organization studies, business and management studies, industrial and evolutionary economics, and economic sociology, as well as officers and policymakers at anti-trust regulation institutions.

India is an emerging economy with a population of more than One Billion. Nearly 40per cent of the population lives below the poverty line and 70 per cent of the population is dependent on the agriculture for sustenance. The economic reconstruction of India depends on the balanced growth of economy in the fields of agriculture and industry. Because capital and finance have been scarce in India, the Government of India has encouraged alternatives to agriculture and heavy industries like small-scale industries, which can operate on limited resources. A small-scale industry can be operated by an entrepreneur without needing sophisticated machinery and modem technology. These small-scale industrial units can be established in semi-urban and rural areas where the infrastructure is underdeveloped. The objective is to use local raw material for raising production with the help of local skills. Small-scale industries provide employment without affecting the main occupational -agriculture- of illiterate people in rural areas in India.

En sciences de gestion, plusieurs travaux ont porté sur la thématique de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) et celle du comportement organisationnel des salariés. Cependant, rares sont celles qui ont concilié ces deux thèmes. Ainsi, cet ouvrage étudie les effets de la perception de la RSE par les salariés sur leur engagement affectif et leur satisfaction au travail. En effet, nous avons porté notre attention sur les processus et les mécanismes intermédiaires à partir desquels la RSE influence les attitudes et comportements des salariés. Comme terrain d¿investigation, nous avons choisi les entreprises du secteur privé de Côte d¿Ivoire. Ce livre qui est le résultat de plusieurs années d¿études et de recherche s¿adresse aux étudiants, aux professionnels ainsi qüaux enseignants désireux d¿approfondir leurs connaissances sur les concepts évoqués. Pour traiter la problématique de notre recherche, nous nous sommes appuyés sur la théorie de l¿échange social pour aboutir à l¿influence positive de la RSE sur l¿engagement affectif de même que le rôle médiateur de la satisfaction dans cette relation.

The book's core concept is Bitcoin, NFT, Crypto etc, and various types of decentralized digital currency. It explains how this type of system works and explains how it challenges central banks' ability to plan the economy. Ultimately, the book is an educational guide for those who are not developers but want to get more acquainted with this emerging technology. The Introduction to "Book on Decentralized Finance" is the perfect first read for any investor looking for a thorough introduction to the emerging world of decentralized finance. The book covers decentralized finance from basic concepts to in-depth explanations of the various services. It also includes a brief history of finance and a primer on FinTech. The book is organized into chapters that cover various aspects of this emerging area. For instance, the company Synthetix has developed a new kind of derivative made of three assets, each staked by a different individual. This derivative will profit or lose in subsequent market movements. The concept is similar to a "3-D" futures contract.

"Voice is the next technology--remarkably similar in potential impact to the Internet and mobile computing--poised to change the way the world works. Tobias Dengel is in the vanguard of this breakthrough, understanding the deep, wide-ranging implications voice will have for every industry. And here he connects the dots about this emerging paradigm to vividly illustrate how business leaders can stay ahead of the game, rather than scrambling to catch up, as voice technology gradually reveals its power, creating a host of new winners and losers. Using fascinating, colorful stories, Dengel explains how the "voice-first" experience is becoming part of the global technology mainstream, exploring the ways voice will do a better job of serving basic human needs such as safety, speed, accuracy, convenience, and fun, as well as making it possible for hundreds of millions of people around the planet to participate more fully and productively in today's high-tech world by making interactions with technology virtually effortless. A pervasive technology like the Internet and mobile, voice, with applications in marketing, sales, service, manufacturing, and logistics, will change the way we work at every level and every function, driving down costs, boosting productivity, and enabling the creation of entirely new business models.

In the hyper-competitive era, organizations are located in an environment that is characterized by increasing complexity, globalization and dynamism, so organizations face new challenges for their continuity and establishment, and overcoming these challenges requires more attention to the development and strengthening of skills and abilities. It is internal that this work is done through the foundations of organizational knowledge and intellectual capital that organizations use to achieve better performance in the business world. Knowledge and intellectual capital have been recognized as sustainable strategies for obtaining and maintaining the competitive advantage of organizations. On the other hand, any organization created with human power will not be able to survive without it. Therefore, recognizing the needs, motivations, inclinations, factors of satisfaction and dissatisfaction of employees as one of the competitive advantages of the organization is not only necessary, but also necessary to adopt correct policies, appropriate strategies and effective programs.

Digital Twinning (DT) is one of the concepts of modern technology, and the size of the scientific market for DT in 2020 reached about $6 billion, and this value is expected to reach $115 billion in 2035, an annual growth rate of 24%. The rate increased to 27% during the period 2020/2030.DT is an electronic digital copy that is identical to something in practical life. The real body is linked with the virtual copy in a way that allows data to be transferred between them through sensors installed in the physical assets through which the data is collected and stored in a storage cloud, after which the original physical object is simulated. There are many benefits to the organization and society from the application of DT. These benefits are reducing product quality problems, reducing maintenance costs, improving employee training, improving the performance of real assets, improving the performance of machines, reducing risks, protecting the health and safety of workers, improving manufacturing processes, and meeting the needs and desires of customers.

The subject of Metaverse technology is still a new topic that needs further study and analysis.It is worth noting that the Metaverse technology is part of the technology, and no one can turn his back on it, and he should be aware of its risks and use it to the extent that it achieves the desired benefit.The governments should pay attention to this technology, and hold conferences, lectures, seminars, and scientific courses to educate members of society and explain its advantages and how people can benefit from it in identifying its risks and impact on humans. This is in addition to the necessity of raising children in a good way in terms of making them aware of this Metaverse technology at home, school, club, and other institutions concerned with education, to produce a good generation that is aware of the dangers surrounding them.

With the continuous development of work organization, there is a growing concern for improving the performance of team members. In this regard, work motivation is considered to have a significant impact on the performance of team members. The purpose of our study is to establish the link between overall motivation and the overall performance of team members.To achieve this goal, we first constructed an analytical framework in which work motivation is considered as the independent variable and work performance as the dependent variable, based on the literature on these two concepts. Specifically, we are interested in the link between motivation and intra-role performance, extra-role performance and overall performance of team members. To establish this link, we sent a self-administered questionnaire to team members in companies.

"How did Ron Shaich, the visionary founder of Panera Bread, build a little bakery in St. Louis into 2,400 restaurants with 6 billion dollars in revenue and annual returns of 25 percent, outperforming Starbucks, Chipotle, and all others? By seeing the future and clearing a path to it, leading and innovating from the future back. Now, Shaich shares his story, starting with its humble entrepreneurial beginnings: the college-campus convenience store he opened to compete with one he was ejected from when the clerk wrongly assumed he and his scruffy friends were shoplifting. He takes us through his successful turnaround of Au Bon Pain and how that led to his creation of a new category of restaurant, fast casual, and the mega-success of Panera. He also shares the lows, the defeats, and the uncertainties along the way and how he persevered through them. In each chapter Shaich brings to life a principle for success that has guided his career-and his life. Sometimes practical ("Make smart bets"), and often challenging ("You don't own the business, the business owns you"), Shaich's principles combine to form a blueprint for innovators, leaders, and entrepreneurs set on success, and on making a difference. When you know what matters, you can build transformative businesses while leading a life you respect, and leaving a positive impact on the world"--

"As the pandemic waned, we returned to sparsely populated offices and empty conference rooms. Our working life had been transformed, seemingly overnight. But the truth is that the ever-growing digital wave has long been breaking down organizational boundaries and increasing open innovation, including the use of crowdsourcing platforms as a talent solution. Now the imperative is clear: adapt to and leverage this new, digitally enabled world of "open talent"-or get left behind. In this eye-opening, essential guidebook for the new world of work, John Winsor and Jin Paik, leaders at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard, show how the massive reset of the pandemic allowed talented workers everywhere to exit their jobs without leaving the workforce. Now some are freelancing for multiple companies or starting small businesses, leaving hiring managers scratching their heads over a workforce gone AWOL. What's more, talent has more power than ever using platforms such as Freelancer.com, Fiverr, and Upwork, setting their own terms for work: what, where, when, and at what price. How can companies adapt? The key, the authors argue, is shifting to a more "distributed" idea of the organization that revolves around talent (people) and projects, not divisions and offices. In this new model, which the authors call a networked organization, talent is culled from both inside and outside the organization, dispensing with siloed approaches to talent acquisition and instead viewing talent through a single lens: as a global ecosystem that can be tapped as needed. With rich stories, keen insights, and an abundance of practical advice, Winsor and Paik provide a new framework and operating model for transforming your organization into a talent-orchestrating, problem-solving machine"--

In this book, we are going to introduce artificial intelligence and specify the application of artificial intelligence in management. Artificial intelligence can have wide applications in different levels of management. However, an attempt has been made to express the important achievements of artificial intelligence in management with brief definitions and to highlight its role in the financial, sales and marketing process. Artificial intelligence in management has been able to create extensive changes and deep transformations, so paying attention to this category can be important for many managers and business strategists. In fact, artificial intelligence in management can destroy many business models and create new models. In the following, we will discuss each of these cases.
