Business Lawsuits and Disputes: How Law Keeps Businesses in Check
by Akhileshwar PathakBusiness and law are in continuous communication. In seeking profits and growth, businesses transform the society and, in the process, create new challenges. Law responds by controlling, regulating and most times facilitating business activities. Several court judgements from the apex courts have acted as the frontiers of business law. Leading judgements from the apex courts resolve close contest of ideas, change course of businesses and allow for opening of new business avenues. Business Lawsuits and Disputes is an introduction to these frontier cases. It invites academics, students, business executives and business leaders to understand the law so that they can define businesses of tomorrow. The cases from the United Kingdom Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of India touch upon four aspects: functional and executive learning; organisational and leadership ideas; future planning; and education and learning. This book makes the pathbreaking cases accessible and relevant to academics, students, business managers and leaders.

Business Leadership Development in China (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia)
by Ying Zhu Shuang Ren Robert WoodThis book argues that China’s businesses, and hence China’s future economic development, face a huge crisis in that there is a considerable "leadership gap" in China, with a shortage of competent business leaders, at a time when new leadership skills are required urgently, as China’s businesses evolve rapidly and engage ever more with the global economy. Moreover, the book argues, training is an undervalued and often marginalised activity in Chinese companies. The book outlines the nature of this problem, and goes on to demonstrate that there is a new breed of manager emerging in China, aware of the need to upgrade management skills, moving away from skills appropriate in traditional industrial firms, and emphasising more flexibility, positive engagement with workers, and competence in the market economy. The book includes an evaluation of different management approaches in China, reports on extensive original research, including interviews with practising managers, and sets out how self-development in widespread, deep and important.

Business Leadership and Market Competitiveness: New Paradigms for Design, Governance, and Performance
by Andrée Marie López-FernándezCompetitive paradigms, which are constantly being shifted, and turbulent environmental conditions, which today are a constant, tend to dictate rather than inform strategic decision making regarding an organization’s status quo and desired outcomes. As such, there is a need for organizational leaders to re-examine current practices. This book provides insight into business dynamics and the internal and external factors that, when strategically aligned, provide satisfaction, added value, and enhanced performance.
Business Leadership for IT Projects
by Gary LloydThe track record of IT projects is poor. Less than a third of IT projects deliver what they said they would, on schedule and on budget. The major cause of IT project failure is not, as you might expect, poor IT leadership or difficult technology but poor business leadership. One of the reasons for this is that, unlike their IT peers, business managers often get little training or education in project delivery, let alone the special case represented by an IT project. Business Leadership for IT Projects addresses the gap by providing tools and ideas that are applicable to all sizes of IT projects, from those in large multinational corporations, down to small growing businesses. It sets out the key project touchpoints where business leadership can have a major impact on project success. The book combines psychological research and project best practice to create a practical toolbox that can be dipped into, as needs arise, or followed as an overall approach to IT project leadership. The toolbox weaves together three key strands of thought. First, that the concept of value should be at the forefront of project design and delivery. Second, that business managers need to take active leadership of IT projects to secure value. Third, that project teams need tools to slow down their thinking and ensure that actions and decisions are well thought through.
