Handbook of Research on In-Country Determinants and Implications of Foreign Land Acquisitions
Several studies have investigated the impetus and implications behind large-scale land acquisitions/deals at the global level; however, intranational factors within communities and societies have not received much attention from researchers. The Handbook of Research on In-Country Determinants and Implications of Foreign Land Acquisitions examines the economic, sociological, and environmental issues surrounding land transactions and the impact these deals may have on local households and communities. Focusing on international issues as well as domestic concerns, this publication is a useful reference for policymakers, academics, researchers, and advanced-level students in various disciplines.
Handbook of Research on Institution Development for Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Growth in Africa
African countries are pursuing a number of development agendas toward achieving economic growth that is inclusive, pro-poor, and sustainable, particularly the type that can unleash the potential of women and booming youthful populations. However, available evidence shows that many African countries have experienced economic hardships and have performed more poorly than other developing and emerging countries in the global south. The Handbook of Research on Institution Development for Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Growth in Africa is an essential research publication that provides comprehensive research on the processes of building viable institutions in Africa that will serve as the fulcrum for utilizing and managing resources as well as promoting economic growth that is inclusive and sustainable. Featuring topics such as climate change, financial development, and poverty, this book is ideal for researchers, policymakers, developers, economic professionals, academicians, government officials, business professionals, and students.
Research Anthology on Business Continuity and Navigating Times of Crisis
When the COVID-19 pandemic caused a halt in global society, many business leaders found themselves unprepared for the unprecedented change that swept across industry. Whether the need to shift to remote work or the inability to safely conduct business during a global pandemic, many businesses struggled in the transition to the “new normal.” In the wake of the pandemic, these struggles have created opportunities to study how businesses navigate these times of crisis.

This book analyzes business operations and the state of the economy during times of crisis and the leadership involved in recovery. Covering topics such as crisis management, entrepreneurship, and business sustainability, this four-volume comprehensive major reference work is a valuable resource for managers, CEOs, business leaders, entrepreneurs, professors and students of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
Handbook of Research on Sustainability Challenges in the Wine Industry
In the wine industry, sustainability is an extremely important issue for two main reasons: Firstly, the industry faces serious threats as a consequence of climate change, as well as water and energy scarcity.

In this sense, previous work has shown that customers tend to select wines that have been developed following sustainable practices, despite not knowing what this means in practice. The Handbook of Research on Sustainability Challenges in the Wine Industry serves as a guide for study, reflection, and critique to...

Institutional Development
All the evidence and studies confirm that the most successful organizations in the future are those organizations that can bring about rapid and effective change that involves long-lasting fundamental changes that may include the entire organization system. Successful organizations with outstanding performance achieve better financial and non-financial results than those achieved by their counterparts during a specific period, as this comes by focusing in a disciplined manner on the organization's priorities. An institution is like a legal person with a clear message within which the human element, work systems, and financial resources interact to achieve specific goals. We can divide instit...

Socioeconomic Shocks and Africa’s Development Agenda
This book investigates how African countries respond to socioeconomic shocks, drawing out lessons to help to inform future policy and development efforts. The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic affected all sectors of the economy, exposing substantial structural weaknesses and complexities in supply chains and logistics across the African continent.

Politics and Economics of Removing Subsidies on Petroleum Products in Nigeria
Though the history of hikes in petroleum prices began in 1973 when the military government of Gen. Yakubu Gowon increased the price of petrol to 9 kobo per litre from the equivalent of 8.8 kobo that had prevailed before then, the politics and economics of removal of subsidies on premium petroleum products entered into the national lexicon in 1986 when the military administration of General Ibrahim Babangida announced that due to the devaluation of the Naira, the domestic price of fuel had become unsustainable cheap and was becoming a burden on the national purse. Ever since, most regimes in the country have toyed with the idea of removing the subsidies, with organised labour and the civil so...
