The Emergence of Social Entrepreneurship
The rise of hybrid ventures is proof that another way of doing business is possible. Many developments in the last 15 years highlight the significance of social entrepreneurship: the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize to Grameen Bank, the efforts of scholars in studying social ventures, and the new academic programs at Ivy League universities, as well as the creation of indices such as the United Nations Human Development Index to measure non-economic issues. This book portrays these as strong indicators to support the development and sustenance of a market-based economy that also imbibes social progress and human values. This book emphasizes that awareness of the conditions under which social start-ups...
Business Under Crisis, Volume III
From recurring episodes of great depression, oil crises, political crises, wars, debt crises, to the ongoing climate change, there is a constant pressure on businesses to cope with critical events. However, throughout history, crises have been pivotal in advancing businesses and societies. This contributed volume approaches crisis not simply as a source of problems, but also as a set of choices. It seeks to explore critical events as possible opportunities for sustainability, through process improvement, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Chapters reveal that times of crisis provide opportunities for new start-ups, creativity, resilience, organisational change, and revitalisation. ...

This volume provides an introduction to the theories of strategic entrepreneurship and accounts of their real-world applications in the entrepreneurial sector. The book is divided into three parts.

Deconstructing Management Maxims, Volume I
A contrarian challenge to the status quo, this book vigorously champions healthy skepticism in management theory and practice. Several common management maxims — often taken for granted as truisms — are examined and debunked with evidence-based arguments. The constant repetition of these flawed tropes perpetuates their mythological status and limits personal and organizational performance. Far from a business as usual business book, Deconstructing Management Maxims has been researched with academic rigor yet written in an approachable style. Unafraid of taking on conventional business wisdom, it contains some controversial yet substantiated positions that will provoke critical thinking and debate. After all, sacred cows and long-believed tenets of management lore do not go away quietly. A clear message from this book is that you don’t have to believe everything you read or hear—be it in the classroom or at work! It offers a refreshing break from the constant drumbeat of dronish corporate and academic clichés. This book is best appreciated by readers wanting to think critically about important management phenomena.
Democratize Work
An urgent and deeply resonant case for the power of workplace democracy to restore balance between economy and society. What happens to a society—and a planet—when capitalism outgrows democracy? The tensions between democracy and capitalism are longstanding, and they have been laid bare by the social effects of COVID-19. The narrative of “essential workers” has provided thin cover for the fact that society’s lowest paid and least empowered continue to work risky jobs that keep our capitalism humming. Democracy has been subjugated by the demands of capitalism. For many, work has become unfair. In Democratize Work, essays from a dozen social scientists—all women—articulate the pe...
The Performance Paradox
We all know we should be learning and growing. But how do you make time while under pressure to perform? Too many of us suffer from 'chronic performance': we feel constant pressure to look like we know what we're doing, to always be on, to rack up success after success and have all the answers, all because we assume that greater effort leads to greater success. But this temptation to portray ourselves as infallible is affecting both our work and personal lives and is blocking our ability for true growth. Through his work with over a hundred companies, co-founder of Mindset Works Eduardo Briceño has solved this by coming up with a game-changing framework that breaks our habit of chronic perf...

VII Congreso Internacional de Innovación y Educación Aplicada
Este congreso siempre tiene puesto el foco en la innovación educativa, proponiendo las últimas tendencias y herramientas en educación, las cuales son facilitadoras de los procesos de adaptación al cambio ante los retos que plantea el nuevo escenario educativo, económico, social, político y tecnológico. Esta edición se ha centrado en el desarrollo de organizaciones inteligentes y sostenibles con capacidad de adaptación a nuevos entornos y circunstancias, generados en momentos de crisis. Su objetivo era abrir un espacio de reflexión que permita dibujar caminos y tendencias futuras en torno a la innovación docente, integrando el trinomio institucional, académico y empresa. Por eso se ha llevado a cabo diferenciándose claramente tres grandes bloques. Uno dirigido principalmente a investigadores (área científica), otro a docente (área divulgativa), y otro a la empresa (área de aplicación y trasferencia).
La paradoja del rendimiento
Para tener éxito en un mundo en constante cambio, se ha de crear una cultura empresarial de crecimiento, donde se fomenten la experimentación y las críticas constructivas, y donde el aprendizaje se integre en el día a día. Sin embargo, a menudo nos quedamos atrapados en un patrón anticuado de hábitos que nos impiden avanzar. ¿Por qué? Porque muchos hemos caído en la paradoja del rendimiento: un fenómeno contraintuitivo que hace que, si nos centramos solo en el rendimiento, este se resienta.
¿Cómo podemos darnos el espacio para experimentar y crecer, y al mismo tiempo ofrecer resultados de alto nivel? Fomentar la mentalidad de crecimiento para aumentar el rendimiento es...
