In the post-COVID-19 era, it is essential to adhere to an
international framework for sustainable development goals (SDGs),
which requires the management of the economic, social, and
environmental shocks and disasters. While many have suffered across
the world from the COVID-19 pandemic, these SDGs work to ensure
healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages, as well as
inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Frameworks for
Sustainable Development Goals to Manage Economic, Social, and
Environmental Shocks and Disasters provides an updated view of the
newest trends, novel practices, and latest tendencies concerning
the benefits, advantages, opportunities, and challenges of building
an internationally successful framework for SDGs. Covering topics
such as business longevity, green innovation, and vaccination
willingness, this premier reference source is an excellent resource
for government officials, business leaders and executives, human
resource managers, economists, sociologists, students and faculty
of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Talent has been identified as the only differentiator for an
organization's, nations' or any region's success in this uncertain,
complex, competitive and global environment. Ulrich (2008) defined
talent as the equation of 3Cs: Talent = Competence x Commitment x
Contribution. Malaeb and Chanaron (2010, p. 2), noted "Competence
means that employees have the skills and abilities today and in the
future for required business results. ... Commitment means that
employees are involved and engaged ... while Contribution means
that employees find personal abundance at occupation ..." While
Ulrich (2008) observed that commitment focused on meaning and
identity and other restraints that tap employee's heart. This book
is unique in many ways, which makes it extraordinary. First, unlike
other books that have examined issues of change facing the global
economy no book has examined the issue of talent development from
the perspective of special interest groups including management
international students, women refugees, refugees, non?governmental
organizations, for profit, for benefit and nonprofit organizations.
Thus, talent development world over has become one of the most
important issues when it comes to developing human resources
especially through education and training. The book presents
pertinent research and practice on talent development management
and argues that the term talent development broadly refers to
management and development of high performing and high potential
individuals in society required to carry out critical
organizational and society roles aimed at improving human
development. The contributors of the book chapters include
individuals actively involved in research, teaching and practice in
higher education and in business and industry. The chapters are
based on empirical data, including review of relevant literature.
The book also recognizes that talent development is more than just
crisis management and includes best talent management practices,
shared governance, meaningful reforms, strategic planning,
transparency and accountability, social justice and respect for
human life and the need to develop humane organizations and humane
communities. The contributions take cognizance of the fact that
talent development as a concept is facing fundamental changes in
the global knowledge economy, and especially with political changes
taking place world over. Contributors also take cognizance of the
fact that one important source of change in society has been the
accelerating speed of scientific and technological advancement
driven by the power of the Internet hence the need to develop
talent for the 21st century and beyond. The book is basically an
academic book for use by undergraduates and graduate students at
universities, for?profit, for?benefit, and non?profit
organizations, policy makers and formulators in ministries of
Education; supra national organizations, foreign organizations
multilateral organizations, non?governmental organizations,
community based organizations as well as development stakeholders,
and community organizers.
Over the last two decades global production of soybean and palm oil
seeds have increased enormously. Because these tropically rainfed
crops are used for food, cooking, animal feed, and biofuels, they
have entered the agriculture, food, and energy chains of most
nations despite their actual growth being increasingly concentrated
in Southeast Asia and South America. The planting of these crops is
controversial because they are sown on formerly forested lands,
rely on large farmers and agribusiness rather than smallholders for
their development, and supply export markets. The contrasts with
the famed Green Revolution in rice and wheat of the 1960s through
the 1980s are stark, as those irrigated crops were primarily grown
by smallholders, depended upon public subsidies for cultivation,
and served largely domestic sectors. The overall aim of the book is
to provide a broad synthesis of the major supply and demand drivers
of the rapid expansion of oil crops in the tropics; its economic,
social, and environmental impacts; and the future outlook to 2050.
After introducing the dramatic surge in oil crops, chapters provide
a comparative perspective from different producing regions for two
of the world's most important crops, oil palm and soybeans in the
tropics. The following chapters examine the drivers of demand of
vegetable oils for food, animal feed, and biodiesel and introduce
the reader to price formation in vegetable oil markets and the role
of trade in linking consumers across the world to distant producers
in a handful of exporting countries. The remaining chapters review
evidence on the economic, social, and environmental impacts of the
oil crop revolution in the tropics. While both economic benefits
and social and environmental costs have been huge, the outlook is
for reduced trade-offs and more sustainable outcomes as the oil
crop revolution slows and the global, national, and local
communities converge on ways to better managed land use changes and
land rights.
Management methodology and its applicability in society has changed
drastically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations have had to
adopt new forms of resilience based on the needs of a different
consumer. The COVID-19 market is a challenge for both producers and
consumers as it meets new needs and a new capacity of
merchandising. Challenges and Emerging Strategies for Global
Networking Post COVID-19 fully unleashes the broad potential of
entrepreneurial activity by exploring and highlighting new
businesses and, as a result, the well-being of millions of people
globally throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and prospects for the
future. Delving into topics such as student empowerment, economic
sectors, and personal finance, this book is an essential resource
for managers, CEOs, consultants, faculty of higher education,
students, researchers, policymakers, and academicians.
In the backdrop of the Coronavirus having wreaked havoc on nations
across the world and adversely impacting economic growth of
countries, the government and monetary authorities,such as the
Reserve Bank of India, stepped forward with conventional as well as
unconventional stimulus measures. This was the time for the
Government and fellow Indians to reboot, redraw, and reinvent the
wheel of progress, and paint a new standing in the World Economic
Order. Thus, in light of the above-mentioned macroeconomic scenario
existing in India in June 2020, the authors decided to continuously
examine the important measures and policies announced by the
Government and evaluate its impact on the country. Part 1 of the
book traces the preceding trends in the economic growth of the
country during 2010-20, the initial impact of the virus on the
Indian economy, the macroeconomic perspectives, including the
required fiscal measures through the very first post-pandemic
budget, i.e., for 2021-22, and the country's progress on the path
to economic recovery in the first quarter of 2022. Part 2
critically analyses policy initiatives undertaken by the Government
for achieving an Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India),
short-term and long-term structural reforms, agricultural reforms,
the six pillars on which the union budget 2021-22 has been
formulated, and bold measures like the proposal for asset
monetization of PSUs and government's re-think on retrospective
taxes. Part 3 lays out a roadmap of policy suggestions which
warrant government focus and attention to make India into a
self-reliant nation. These initiatives can help in achieving the
dream of doubling farmers' income and making India into a global
manufacturing hub. This section also discusses the importance of
cooperative federalism and challenges before the government in
making India into a self-reliant nation, especially in terms of
administrative machinery and the judicial system.
With Africa as its point of reference and departure, this volume
examines why and how the two concepts - radicalisms and
conservatisms - should not be taken as mere binaries around which
to organize knowledge. It demonstrates that these concepts have
multiple and diverse meanings as perceived and understood from
different disciplinary vantage points, hence, the deliberate
pluralization of the terms. The essays show what happens when one
juxtaposes the two concepts and how they are easily intertwined
when different peoples' lived experiences of poverty, political and
social alienation, education, intolerance, youth activism, social
(in)justice, violence, etc. across the length and breadth of Africa
are brought to bear on our understandings of these two
particularisms. Contributors are: Adekunle Victor Owoyomi, Adeshina
