Strategies for Supply Chain Risk Management (Routledge Advances in Risk Management)
by Yi Li Kin Keung Lai Ju'e GuoExamining the negative consequences that arise from supply chain risks, this book systematically explores firms’ responses to these risks in different situations. In particular, it focuses on sourcing strategies of firms under supply chain risks and the different mitigation tools they use, such as supplier development and multisourcing. Supply chains have expanded extensively because many firms try to take advantage of outsourcing of their raw materials and critical components. Though firms can reap significant benefits due to the widespread use of outsourcing, they have to deal with increasing supply chain risks. In general, supply chain risks are various and may be originated from natural disasters, labor strikes, fires, and so on. These risk incidents can cause serious damage to firms’ profit performance. The analysis and insights from this book can be utilized by firms to alleviate the impact of supply chain risks in the sourcing process. It will also be of interest to researchers and students studying supply chain management.

Strategies for the Circular Economy: Circular Districts and Networks (Routledge-Giappichelli Studies in Business and Management)
by Pietro De Giovanni Pierroberto FolgieroThis book illustrates two approaches for firms to shape successful circular strategies, namely, the Circular Economy and Circular Districts. The former considers firms’ challenges when turning theoretical circular models into practice. Thus, it discusses the opportunities and difficulties in reshaping corporate strategies by reflecting on circular economy principles. The latter approach plays a new role within the new economy systems and this book conceptualizes and operationalizes its definition. The circular district can represent an effective way to accelerate the energy transition process by developing industrial collaborations and exploiting technology synergies to enhance circularity and achieve economic, environmental, and social targets. The book highlights how firms should adjust their strategic thinking, redesign their network of relationships, and reconsider the value creation process when the circular economy is a concrete option. Furthermore, it examines the evolution from circular economy to circular districts by revealing the motivations that push firms and supply chains to redesign their strategies by considering the perspective of a circular district. The book ends by analyzing business experiences in these two areas and proposes advancements for both the scientific community and the business world. The book offers a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical applications and will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of sustainable operations, closed-loop supply chain, green supply chain management, and circular supply chains. Also, the operationalization of the concept of circular districts, offers a genuine and original theoretical contribution, thus targeting students from Executive programs, MBA programs, and PhD programs. The book will also attract managers, practitioners and professionals interested in real-world cases and experiences as well as practical developments in the domain.

Strategisch wirksam handeln: Warum wir eine neue Strategie zur Lösung unserer gesellschaftlichen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen brauchen
by Bernhard SchmidtDieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, warum wir für viele der Herausforderungen unserer Zeit so schwer Lösungen finden. Um Armut, Rassismus oder den Klimawandel zu stoppen oder Frieden, persönliches Glück und Wohlstand zu erreichen, brauchen wir die Fähigkeit, strategisch wirksam zu handeln. Heutige Strategiekonzepte sind vom militärischen Paradigma der Überlegenheit durch Stärke im Kampf durchdrungen. Die Komplexität ökologischer, ökonomischer und gesellschafts-politischer Probleme macht es aber unmöglich, sie direkt zu bekämpfen. Nicht Überlegenheit durch Stärke, sondern Anpassung durch Veränderung kann uns den Lösungen näherbringen.Dieses Buch setzt sich mit den aktuell verwendeten Strategiemodellen kritisch auseinander, insbesondere mit dem weitverbreiteten Hauptinstrument, der SWOT. Auf Basis dieser grundlegenden Kritik wird ein neues Konzept der Veränderung des Veränderbaren konzipiert. Es eignet sich nicht nur für Strategieverantwortliche, Manager und Politiker, sondern beinhaltet auch wertvolle Ratschläge für alle, die wichtige Entscheidungen treffen oder verstehen müssen. Abschließend wird das neue Konzept an drei Beispielen theoretisch getestet; u.a. wird ein neuer strategischer Ansatz für die Begrenzung des Klimawandels vorgestellt.
Strategische Interaktion in der Haushaltspolitik: Advokaten, Kassenwarte und Regierungschefs in parlamentarischen Systemen
by Bernd LuigIn parlamentarischen Regierungssystemen stehen bei haushaltspolitischen Konflikten auf der einen Seite die Ausgabenminister. In ihren Geschäftsbereichen spielen die Ausgaben eine merklich größere Rolle als die Einnahmen. Sie besitzen daher unabhängig vom Umweltzustand ihrer Geschäftsbereiche den Anreiz, stets ein größeres Budget einzufordern. Ihnen gegenüber stehen mit einem politikbereichsübergreifenden Interesse der Finanzminister und der Regierungschef. Während der Finanzminister üblicherweise der Rationalität des Haushaltsausgleichs folgt, orientiert sich aber letzterer vermutlich am Erfolg der gesamten Regierungsarbeit. In diesem Buch wird nunmehr das Handeln von jedem Ausgabenminister, des als Kassenwart erscheinenden Finanzministers und des Regierungschefs modelliert. Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit steht dabei die Forschungsfrage, inwieweit die Interaktion der drei Akteure die bereichsspezifischen Ausgaben in den Budgets der deutschen Länder beeinflusst.
Strategische öffentliche Beschaffung: Die Berücksichtigung von Nachhaltigkeitszielen im österreichischen und europäischen Vergaberecht (BestMasters)
by Iryna SaucaDie Auswirkungen des Klimawandels und soziale Missstände sind immer stärker spürbar. Die Europäische Union und die Mitgliedsstaaten sehen sich daher dringender denn je mit der Frage konfrontiert, welche Maßnahmen dagegen ergriffen werden können. Das Vergaberecht kann dabei eine wichtige Rolle spielen, da es durch die Berücksichtigung strategischer Beschaffungszwecke die Einbeziehung von gesellschaftspolitischen Zielen bei der öffentlichen Auftragsvergabe ermöglicht. In dem vorliegenden Buch wird daher die Entwicklung der strategischen öffentlichen Beschaffung auf europäischer und österreichischer Ebene untersucht. Dabei werden deren Potenziale und rechtliche Grenzen aufgezeigt.

Strategy Ownership in Open Strategy: Eine Konzeptualisierung der Einflussnahme von Akteuren und deren Auswirkung in der offenen Strategiefindung
by Jonas Philippe MetzgerOpen Strategy beschreibt die Öffnung strategischer Prozesse in Unternehmen, wodurch Mitarbeiter und externe Akteure durch Inklusion in die Strategiefindung und durch die Transparenz strategischer Prozesse und Entscheidungen in die Strategiefindung einbezogen und informiert werden. Im Zuge des Einbeziehens haben diese Mitarbeiter und externen Akteure die Möglichkeit strategische Prozesse, unabhängig ihrer formellen Entscheidungsbefugnis, zu beeinflussen. Sofern dieser Einfluss in der Strategieformulierung und in der Strategieumsetzung identifizierbar ist, lässt sich Strategy Ownership bei Akteuren identifizieren. Strategy Ownership bietet hierbei die Möglichkeit Auswirkungen auf Mitarbeiter und externe Akteure im Rahmen der Strategiefindung und Umsetzung zu erklären und kausal zu begründen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, wie strategische Entscheidungen in Open Strategy beeinflusst werden, wie Strategy Ownership in Open Strategy als theoretisch-konzeptioneller Bezugsrahmen im Open-Strategy-Kontext dargelegt werden kann und welche Implikationen sich durch das Konzept von Strategy Ownership ergeben.
Strategy Praxis: Insight-Driven, First Principles-Based Strategic Thinking, Analysis, and Decision-Making (Management for Professionals)
by George TovstigaThis book introduces a different approach to thinking about and engaging with strategy in the practice field. The insight-driven, first principles-based approach to strategising and strategic problem-solving developed in this book provides a conceptually rigorous yet pragmatic approach to strategising, and as such the book addresses deficiencies of the current theory-practice gap in the strategy field. In particular, the author introduces and develops a conceptually rigorous approach to the crucial transition stage from strategic analysis to strategic option formation in the strategy process. The book introduces several new concepts such as the firm's unique competing space and its strategic boundaries, the strategic thinking algorithm, and shows how these, when integrated with existing approaches and first-principles thinking, significantly enhance the coherence and effectiveness of strategic problem-solving in practice. Additionally, the book includes supplementary enhancing features throughout the chapters in the form of Praxis Reflections, Praxis Perspectives, and Praxis Cases that tie the concepts and methods presented to real-world strategy practice. This book will appeal not only to strategy practitioners, but also academic researchers and graduate-level students of strategic management.
Strategy Savvy: Balanced Strategy Development Approach Using Insights, Culture, Operations, and Digitization
by Hesham O. DinanaWith the COVID-19 pandemic, many business leaders question the need for strategy and the value of strategic planning and management in today’s environment. This book will demonstrate that our approach to strategy development and implementation needs to change to be able to help organizations change. The proposed new approach in this book can provide insights and perspectives to keep strategy relevant by "Putting Strategy in Action" through developing a "Making the Future Happen Today" way of thinking and living. Many strategy books focus on the perspective of large multinational corporations that have the capacity and capabilities to develop and implement a strategy using very structured methodologies and tools. This book will add a new dimension by focusing on the use of Strategy-as-Practice (SaP), intuition, and serendipity as important complements that can be used by large corporations as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs to develop and implement winning strategies. This is an important dimension to support the strategic decision-making process that is frequently undermined in traditional strategic planning and management-focused books. The author theorizes that developing into a Strategy Savvy professional is about embracing two of the most important concepts in strategy development—Proactivity and Sustainability. This book addresses the opportunities and threats presented by VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) and how we can capitalize on those opportunities to create unprecedented growth opportunities in Society 5.0 that is shaping new economies, such as the Digital Economy, the Experience Economy, the Sharing Economy, the GIG Economy, the Purpose Economy and the Circular Economy. The author also proposes a new approach to strategy development and implementation that mixes formal planning with practice and intuition that is helped by serendipity. He presents a strategy that is driven by four propellers—insights, culture, operations, and digitization—to ensure arrival at a better future.

Streaming Video: Storytelling Across Borders (Critical Cultural Communication)
by Amanda D. Lotz and Ramon LobatoAn international team of experts explores how streaming services are disrupting traditional storytelling.The rise of streaming has dramatically transformed how audiences consume media. Over the last decade, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, have begun commissioning and financing their own original movies and TV shows, changing the way and the rate at which content is produced across the globe, from Mexico City to Mumbai. Streaming Video maps this international production boom and what it means for producers, audiences, and storytellers. Through eighteen richly textured case studies, ranging from original Korean dramas on Netflix to BluTV’s experimental Turkish series, the book investigates how streaming services both disrupt and maintain storytelling traditions in specific national contexts. To what extent, and how, are streamers expanding norms of television and film storytelling in different parts of the world? Are streamers enabling the creation of content that would not otherwise exist? What are the implications for different viewers, in different countries, with different tastes? Together, the chapters critically assess the impacts of streaming on twenty-first century audiovisual storytelling and rethink established understandings of transnational screen flows.
