ISBN: 9781801173971

Publication Date: 2021-05-05

Description: Stock market manipulation is detrimental to traders and corporations, causes unnecessary price fluctuations, and only benefits financial criminals. The research presented here determines an appropriate model to help identify stocks witnessing activities that are indicative of potential manipulation through three separate but related studies. In Developing an Effective Model for Detecting Trade-Based Market Manipulation, classifiers based on three different techniques namely discriminant analysis, a composite classifier based on Artificial Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm and support Vector Machines is proposed. The proposed models help investigators, with varying degree of accuracy, to arrive at a shortlist of securities which could be subject to further detailed investigation to detect the type and nature of the manipulation, if any. Following a fluid outline, Developing an Effective Model for Detecting Trade-Based Market Manipulation, introduces the topic, explores the aims and scopes of the research, before delving into the data and modelling to explore their application to the stock market to detect price manipulation.

Publication Date: 2022-01-21

Description: The international business environment has undergone major turbulence in 2020 following the onset of lockdowns, travel restrictions and social distancing all prompted by Covid-19. These restrictions have limited the revenue generation capacity of both countries and businesses - large and small. While the winners have been mostly those sectors with a digital footprint such as streaming services and video-conferencing giants, the creative industries have felt a much harder blow. Against this backdrop, The Creative Industries and International Business Development in Africatakes an unorthodox approach to showcasing the trends and challenges of the contemporary creative economy with a view to positioning the sector for a global audience. Drawing upon the categorisations of the Creative Industries Federation, the book interrogates, and highlights, the challenges, and opportunities of the creative industries in Africa. This is with a view to aggregating how the sector has coped with a myriad of challenges even before the pandemic. Discussions across the chapters document the changing landscape of the sector, capturing insights from the global value chain to everything digital - from arts to publishing, fashion, film and music production and distribution. Further insights are discussed around recent events such as the take-off of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the exit of Britain from the EU - with the latter event reinvigorating the Commonwealth Agenda and renewed interest in Africa's creative industries.

Publication Date: 2021-07-15

Radical Business by John A. Davis
ISBN: 9781802628081

Publication Date: 2022-04-19

Description: We live in an age of global crises, from spiralling income inequality to the climate emergency. Businesses have been major contributors to the problems we face, but they are also uniquely well-placed to effect positive change. So what can businesses do to shift from being a makers of goods to a force for good? In Radical Business, John Davis argues the changes needed are surprisingly simple. The difficulty lies in the effort to change human behavior and to dismantle decades of investment that reinforces obsolete practices. He offers examples of companies that are already taking action and presents a simple framework to help C-suite leaders and executive teams develop their own blueprint for putting societal value at the heart of their business.; We can no longer ignore that established ways of doing business pose real existential threats to humankind. We cannot change what has occurred, but we can change how we do things from now on.
International Business in Times of Crisis by Rob van Tulder (Editor); Alain Verbeke (Editor); Lucia Piscitello (Editor); Jonas Puck (Editor); Geoffrey Jones (Honored or dedicated to)
ISBN: 9781802621648

Publication Date: 2022-03-14

Description: This sixteenth volume in the PIBR series, International Business in Times of Crisis, is dedicated to Professor Geoffrey Jones from the Harvard Business School, and to the importance of historical scholarship in International Business (IB) studies. The global Covid-19 crisis triggered a profound economic crisis, with a decline in global economic activity on a scale not seen since the Great Depression. This pandemic revealed systems failures and fragilities closely related to the organization of global economic, financial, political, and social systems. It has confronted the world with fundamental questions regarding how the global community, as well as companies in general and multinational enterprises (MNEs) in particular, should design global responses to crises. A multi-level and longitudinal approach to studying crises in IB is clearly necessary. This book classifies studies of crises relevant to IB research and will hopefully be helpful to IB scholars, as they reflect on the type of crises they want to study as part of their future research agenda. "The main point coming out of this brief description of my own intellectual journey is to emphasize that crises have been the norm rather than the exception in the history of international business. They have taken many forms and building a typology of crises would be a helpful next step in new research."Geoffrey Jones (in this volume)

ISBN: 9781800433779

Publication Date: 2022-01-27

Description: For more than a century, the corporation has shaped our thinking of organizations. This deeply institutionalized form is still regarded as both the iconic business organization and the core structural unit of our economic order. Today, however, it stands at a crossroads. Economic, social, and environmental failures of the recent past as well as misconduct and scandals are widely associated with deficits of the corporate form and its governance. The Corporationengages with current issues of the corporation as an institutionalized organizational form, approaching the concept from the backgrounds of organization theory, law, and economics, combining different theoretical views and empirical approaches. This volume addresses the corporation's entanglement with capitalism, examines a spectrum of constitutive features and purposes of the corporate form, offers historical perspectives on its emergence, and provides reflections on its future development. Encouraging you to rethink the corporation, each contribution also adds to the conceptual development of the corporate form as the iconic business organization.
Business Diplomacy by Multinational Corporations by Huub Ruël
ISBN: 9781801176835

Publication Date: 2022-01-27

Description: Over the past two decades, increasing attention has been paid to the concept of business diplomacy. This is becoming more important for multinational corporations (MNCs) as they deal with an increasingly demanding and dynamic international business arena. Despite the growing literature on this phenomenon, there is no sound theory-based business diplomacy model that can help to understand MNCs' relationship-building activities in the global society and provide a normative, moral guide for MNCs on how to conduct business diplomacy successfully. In Business Diplomacy by Multinational Corporations, Huub Ruël turns to Catholic Social Thought (CST), an intellectual tradition extending back 2000 years that promotes the key principles of human dignity, the common good, solidarity and subsidiarity. According to CST, a business is a community of people and its purpose is to serve the common good. This clearly diverges from the dominant shareholder view of business and CST provides a basis for a normative business diplomacy model. This in turn provides a clear, distinctive instrument for MNCs to reflect on their purpose and role in the global society while also guiding and directing their relationship-building actions with other actors in the global society. This book is essential reading for researchers studying ethics and morality from an international business viewpoint.
Strategic Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Business Model Innovation by Vanessa Ratten (Editor)
ISBN: 9781803821382

Publication Date: 2022-05-23

Description: Entrepreneurial ecosystems require business model innovation as part of their evolution. This means when discussing any form of entrepreneurship that involves change, we should consider the role of business models. Strategic Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Business Model Innovationis the first collection to focus both on entrepreneurial ecosystems and business model innovation, thereby taking a novel and new approach to entrepreneurship and strategic management. Whilst the research on entrepreneurial ecosystems is new the practice has been around for a long time. This means it is important to consider historical developments of entrepreneurial ecosystems with new trends in the form of digitalization. Recognising the need to stress the way business models have altered because of the increase in the knowledge economy, business model innovation is a useful way to consider how entrepreneurial ecosystems develop based on knowledge exchanged in the global business environment. Each chapter of this edited collection focuses on a different area of interest regarding entrepreneurial ecosystems and business model innovation, fusing the literature of both streams of thought in terms of how entrepreneurship evolves based on contextual change.

Description: This textbook explores the reasons for intercultural differences and their effects on the behavior of individuals and organizations within the context of management. The text embraces the presence of ambiguity and complexity and encourages critical thinking when it comes to intercultural relations in order to avoid ethnocentrism, stereotyping and prejudice, as well as overly simplistic solutions.

Integrating findings from management, but also the humanities and social sciences, as well as politics and popular culture, intercultural management is understood as a phenomenon that transcends disciplinary boundaries and includes questions around identity constructions, power relations, and ethics. This makes intercultural management a fascinating and rewarding subject to study. Throughout, the author encourages an analytical approach to intercultural management built upon strong methodological foundations, and draws on examples from a wide range of different contexts and cultures to help reflectively translate research and concepts into practice in a way that is lively and engaging.

This textbook is essential reading for students taking university courses related to intercultural management. Lecturers can visit the companion website to access a Teaching Guide and PowerPoint slides that can be adapted and edited to suit teaching needs.
