Entrepreneurship is evolving rapidly due to positive phenomena, such as digitalization and the green transition, and negative ones, such as crises and global emergencies. In this fresh approach to the unique role entrepreneurship can play across environmental protection and social equity, leading scholars explore the world of Humane Entrepreneurship (HumEnt). Introducing a new model of entrepreneurship that considers the human side of sustainable development, they delve into elements of Entrepreneurship Orientation, Human Resource Orientation, and Sustainability Orientation, focusing on risk-taking, effective people management practices, and societal expectations. Showing how HumEnt encourages employee engagement and promotes sustainability to leave positive impacts on society, the chapter authors examine how a human-centric approach to entrepreneurship can help achieve a balance between technological advancement and societal needs. Humane Entrepreneurship and Innovation provides a framework for entrepreneurs, students, and researchers to develop sustainable innovations that benefit society as a whole. This inclusive approach encourages entrepreneurs to consider the needs of all stakeholders, including employees, customers, and the environment. The Emerald Studies in Sustainable Innovation Management series aims to explore innovation management's advancements in turbulent times, with special attention to the transition towards a sustainable economy.

India has an intricate cultural history that extends over thousands of years. Over the past century, however, increasing modernization, along with its associated demographic shifts, has led to substantial changes in its family structures and norms. Coupled with tremendous variations across regions, ethnic groups, and religions, Indian families are complex, unique, and ever adapting. Establishing a more thorough understanding of these changes and complexities, this volume of Contemporary Perspectives in Family Research stretches across disciplines to feature a wide array of topics, including changing forms of dating and mate selection, divorce and remarriage, cohabitation, rural-urban variations in family structures, fertility aspirations, spousal relationships and marital quality, domestic violence, filial piety, inter-generational relations, and parent-child relationships. Demonstrating the tremendous diversity of families in India, as well as their ongoing evolution, Indian Families answers a clear call to dive deeper into the intimacy of the domestic sphere in one of the world's largest and fastest growing societies.

From small, local associations to national social movements, this work demonstrates how we can make more meaningful assertions about what leaders do and how they do it to better push for systemic social change.

Though accessibility, diversity, equity and inclusion (ADEI) are currently at the heart of many debates and social concerns around the world, few academic studies have explored real world ADEI initiatives in the creative sector. Accessibility, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Cultural Sector unpacks real-life initiatives and experiences to reveal how those working in these sectors integrate ADEI into their management practices. Acknowledging the importance of geographic and disciplinary contexts in approaching ADEI issues, chapters offer a broad representation of art disciplines, including the performing arts, music, visual arts and events industries, taking as examples opera houses, orchestras, theaters, arts museums, festivals, federal cultural administrations and even the Super Bowl. Equipping researchers and practitioners to make quick connections between research and practical settings, the authors present case studies from across the globe, including Colombia, Canada, the US, South Africa, Chile, Haiti, Australia and Taiwan, to provide a holistic view of how ADEI issues are addressed across different regions. Advocating for the immersion of ADEI practices into the heart of art organizations, Accessibility, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Cultural Sector links theory, practice and context as a way to further enrich cultural communities and wield the deeply human power of art for real human impact.

Recruitment and retention problems existed within the teaching sector before the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increasing number of teachers deciding to leave the profession for either early retirement, careers in other sectors, or for teaching jobs in other countries. However, the pandemic, and the period subsequent to it, have amplified the problems of a sector in crisis. Aimee Quickfall and Phil Wood offer insights into a profession overburdened by central diktat and performance management, and a system which is inefficient, overbearing and in many cases responsible for poor mental health and unsustainable pressures. Through a consideration of teachers' experiences both during and after the pandemic they outline a policy direction concerning the work of teachers and leaders which is necessary to reorientate the education system in England to one which encourages individuals to become teachers, and which sustains them in a supportive professional environment once they are there. Transforming Teacher Work reflects on lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic to consider how we might renew and revitalise a failing system.

Under a pretext of humanitarian response to people seeking asylum, nation states are increasingly introducing barriers to prevent entry for those seeking safety and security. Documenting the systemic politicisation of the right to seek asylum in Australia, a process that has been hailed as a model for other parts of the world, Deter, Detain, Dehumanise examines how the right to seek asylum has become a political tool of deterrence, detention and dehumanisation. Bringing together leading academics across criminology, geography, law, political science, social work and sociology, this edited collection provides an understanding and critical assessment of Australian government policy as a series of systems, structures and operations that seek to normalise the detention and deterrence of those seeking asylum, explicitly defying Australia's international human rights obligations. Complemented by shorter, creative writings by refugees with lived experience of detainment at Australia's behest, chapters pursue an overtly political and innovative conceptual approach to the politicisation of seeking asylum, offering new insights into its structural framings. Taken together, this body of work examines how Australia has politicised the right to seek asylum, to the detriment of asylum seekers and refugees as well as Australian citizens, and tentatively offers hope on how we might seek to normalise, legitimise and re-humanise the processes.

The future in the Global South is viewed and perceived critically, from the inertia of a present that does not offer peace, justice, wealth and happiness, but from a view constructed from poverty, marginality, war and chaos. Exploring Hope seeks to qualify, question and even refute the monolithic ideas and images of the impossibility of building opportunities for improving the quality of life and overcome the different constraints of development in the Global South. With contributions from Colombia, Chile, Cameroon, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, China, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Bolivia, Sri Lanka, Ghana and Bhutan, authors identify innovative, successful projects and processes that are structurally impacting models of development, and that make it possible to imagine new developmental paths in the Global South. Split into five sections covering economic, demographic, political, social, cultural and environmental issues, each chapter presents cases where emerging initiatives are integrated into the current socio-technical regime and contextualised within regional needs. Focusing on hope rather than challenges, this edited collection presents a powerful evocation of ongoing opportunities for building a better future in the Global South and beyond.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of leadership education, the importance of innovative pedagogical practices cannot be overstated. Demands on leaders continue to develop and a diverse and dynamic skill set is crucial for navigating the complexities of the modern workplace. Leaders are expected to demonstrate adaptability, emotional intelligence, ethical decision-making, collaborating across cultures and technologies. To cultivate these essential skills, traditional teaching methods may not be sufficient, necessitating the integration of innovative pedagogies to unlock the full potential of leadership learners. Elevating Leadership explores the critical importance of innovative pedagogical practices in a world where leadership demands are rapidly changing - using experiential learning, simulations, and technology-enabled tools, Pelin Kohn provides learners with real-world scenarios, fosters practical insights, and enhances problem-solving skills. The competency-based leadership model as a new development through innovative pedagogical practices allows learners to acquire tangible skills and behaviours that can be immediately applied in real-world leadership scenarios, ensuring both theoretical and practical development is achieved. Elevating Leadership demonstrates how to cultivate a growth mindset in leadership learners, resulting in adaptable and resilient leaders who can navigate change and uncertainty successfully.

Whilst the number of women-owned enterprises has been increasing, they account for only 35% of business ownership in the UK. The term "woman entrepreneur" is suggested to be somewhat problematic, as it seems that women simply practise entrepreneurship, challenging the preconceptions people may have about businesses run by women. Do Women Entrepreneurs Practice a Different Kind of Entrepreneurship? identifies the entrepreneurship model of successful women entrepreneurs, and if they support or diverge from mainstream definitions. Alison Theaker examines female entrepreneurs' experiences to understand whether their entrepreneurship practices conform to existing models, and whether the concept of "success" has different meanings for such businesses than in mainstream entrepreneurial theory.

The problems we face in the second decade of the twenty-first century are too significant to be solved by a few chosen heroes. Consequently, the role of leadership educators and authors extends beyond encouraging "natural leaders" to accept the leadership call. Instead, our role is to inspire all global citizens to take the baton when needed. Against All Odds explores leadership through the lens of the characters from HULU's TV adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale and the original novel by Margaret Atwood, alongside Atwood's more recent sequel The Testaments (2019), analyzing the ethical dimensions of leadership. In particular, Wildermuth highlights the roles and responsibilities of leaders without authority during times of change and uncertainty. Each chapter of the book uses characters and storylines from the world of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments to help the reader connect theories, practices, and consequences of leaders' actions. Against All Odds reinforces the key message that leadership is not the job of a few but the responsibility of all, prompting all leaders to reflect on and improve their own approaches. Exploring Effective Leadership Practices through Popular Culture aims to bring examples, theory and methodology of leadership to life by analyzing academic concepts through popular culture examples that will appeal to a broad range of readers.

This book contains an Open Access chapter. Communities exist everywhere in academia. They are important not only for facilitating academic socialisation and generating intellectual capital, but also for fostering academic wellbeing. But how do communities come to be and how do we develop and maintain them? What kinds of challenges are involved when bringing people together around a shared interest in a field or topic? Addressing community-building in academia through a practical yet critical lens, the nine chapters present cases of academic community-building, or lack thereof, from across the globe. These communities are built and maintained by scholars representing different career stages, resulting in a go-to resource for any academic or higher education practitioner interested in community-building activities that strengthen and emphasise the collective - rather than competitive - aspect of academic work. Communities bring various benefits, yet community builders encounter several challenges. Very often, community-building often takes a great deal of time and (often voluntary) effort that is rarely officially rewarded. Building Communities in Academia poses important questions and provides extensive insights that scholars and practitioners can use when developing community-related activities to enhance connection in academia.

Brigitte Biehl uses examples from the popular TV series "The Kardashians" and "Keeping up with the Kardashians" to explore leadership concepts that focus on women in business, and the obstacles they face in a male dominated world.

Intersectional in approach, this volume of Advances in Gender Research offers an overview of the ways in which environments -- broadly defined to include social, natural and built territories, domains and habitats -- are gendered. Rooted in qualitative, feminist and change-oriented perspectives, this international set of scholars and practitioners provides an understanding of how marginalized and indigenous populations, often overlooked, relate to natural and built environments. Drawing on real-world interviews, as well as their political and historical contexts, contributors highlight the voices of women and their interactions with their environments. Chapters critically consider the threats, barriers and limitations of urban design to the movements of women, including those with disabilities, covering cases such as: home-based sex work in Punjab cities workplace environments and their role in women's career building environmental activism and cities Asian American women in STEM disciplines indigenous change agents in the Amazon change in built environments, specifically in Athens and Rome agriculture in the Colombian Amazon queer eco-spirituality Demonstrating how women and other marginalized groups respond to the limits and options imposed by the history and structure of spaces, People, Spaces and Places in Gendered Environments envisions a world beyond colonial, able-bodied, class and patriarchal limitations where freedom of movement functions for all.

Research into the politics of family policy has expanded considerably in recent years. However, the family policy agenda of the Mainstream Right - i.e., Christian democratic and conservative parties - has largely been overlooked, at least until now. Establishing a unique contribution that closes this gap, Giovanni Amerigo Giuliani provides a thorough, comparative, and longitudinal analysis of the Mainstream Right's family policy agendas in 4 Western European countries. Anchored in a new theoretical framework that combines the insights of a variety of sociological and political science approaches, this study offers an understanding of the changes in the Mainstream Right's family policy preferences and their drivers over time and across countries. How have family policy agendas been configured in the post-Fordist age? Have they re-adapted over time or have they remained unchanged? What drivers have affected the Mainstream Right's family policy agendas in the post-industrial era? Furthermore, how can the various configurations of these drivers explain cross-country similarities and differences? Under what conditions have Mainstream Right parties gone beyond a purely familistic agenda? Delving into a topic that has scarcely been investigated in comparative welfare and family policy literature, this is an indispensable endeavour for scholars in these fields.

During the 2020-2023 years of the pandemic, when it came to the workplace, public librarians creatively adjusted their practices and their praxis to keep communities engaged with a myriad of virtual information services and distal information delivery during lockdown, lasting for often long and uncertain timeframes. Library staff then had to transition back to providing information services that resembled pre-pandemic services, but with added virtual options that library users had become accustomed to. How the pandemic affected librarian praxis has become a testimony of how librarian ethos has grown and become stronger for the lessons learned. Defining the librarian ethos as the character of the librarian identity, Reading Workplace Dynamics offers a renewed ethos for public librarianship synthesizing frontline practitioner outcomes with scholarship via a blend of chapters presenting innovative and bold testimony on ways in which COVID-19 forever changed public librarianship. With a diverse geocultural scope, all chapters mindfully focus on the value of regionality and geoculture, centering and highlighting new voices to document the knowledge and wisdom of scholars and practitioners with front-line experience and longevity in public library services. Reading Workplace Dynamics appeals to public library professionals globally interested and invested in their professional development, and wider readers seeking to understand experiences, practices, and initiatives in public libraries.

Technological developments and globalization have not only propelled societal progress, but they have also ushered in significant challenges and risks that continually demand responses and adaptability from today's dynamic and complex societies. In this context, organizations find themselves grappling with the need to navigate and manage these challenges effectively. For public relations scholars and practitioners, this reality poses crucial questions concerning communication strategies and their impact in today's risk societies. Communication in Uncertain Times explores how different organizations, from private to governmental and non-profit, deal with issues, risks, and crisis situations through communication. Questions include how to address risks and issues to decrease uncertainty, how to negotiate conflicts, and what types of roles professionals and non-professional communicators assume in times of risk, uncertainty, and crises. The chapters comprise selected contributions to the 2022 Annual Congress of the European Public Relations Education and Research Association (EUPRERA) hosted in Vienna, Austria, by the University of Vienna and the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Advances in Public Relations and Communication Management (APCRM) is a publication of the European Public Relations Education and Research Association (EUPRERA). Each volume includes contributions from EUPRERA's annual congress and follow the theme of each event.

The world is always in flux. Stability is only a product of the moment and needs to be actively accomplished. Recognising that Routine Dynamics research has been at the forefront of this movement to understand the balance between stability and change in organizations, this volume of Research in the Sociology of Organizations delves into the realm of organizational routines within a continuously evolving society. Elaborating on themes such as temporality, improvisation, process and multiplicity, power and political dynamics, and scale, the contributors provide a comprehensive exploration of routines in a world marked by constant change. The papers provide readers with a deep understanding of how routines adapt, evolve, and persist in the face of flux. Exploring the power of routines in navigating our increasingly complex world, this volume argues that routines are as much engines of change as they are of stability, and that organizations are in a position to benefit from both.

Amid the vibrant culture and deep-rooted traditions of India thrive hundreds of Indigenous tribes and ethnic communities. However, these artisan groups find themselves on the fringes of the nation's financial system. Sustainable Pathways: The Role of Indigenous Tribes and Native Practices in India's Economic Model illuminates the struggles of these communities that live on the outskirts of mainstream Indian society and examines their journey to financial empowerment. Author Nishi Malhotra provides an in-depth exploration of India's Indigenous tribes, emphasizing their unique yet financially undervalued arts and crafts traditions. Highlighting initiatives that improve Indigenous economic participation, she critically addresses their financial exclusion and also underscores their vulnerabilities, despite their deep traditional knowledge and ecological insights. Contrasting Eastern and Western perspectives on Indigenous wisdom, Malhotra's discussion extends into a global context, advocating for educational and policy-making approaches that integrate Indigenous practices and philosophies into sustainability and conservation efforts. A crucial resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts from fields as diverse as the social sciences, finance, and the arts, this work offers deep insights into the financial inclusion of Indigenous artisans in India.
