The forces of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity
(VUCA) in today’s world are shaping businesses and calling into
question the wisdom of existing business models. VUCA challenges
businesses to digitalize and transform in ways they had not
contemplated before. This book looks at how successful businesses
have revitalized and innovated their business models. It
illustrates through cases how these businesses have adapted to new
forms of globalization through the lens of Business Model
Innovation (BMI) theories in a digital world. This book’s
chapters are divided into three sections. The first section
examines the existing literature, the second section focuses on
business processes and behaviour, and lastly the third section
presents four case studies of sustainable international businesses
from sectors such the fashion and digital services industry. Paying
attention to business decisions and outcomes, the contributors
critically examine which theories and practices would be most
applicable for a digitally transforming world. This book provides
insights that will interest researchers and academics in the fields
of sustainable business, organizational change, and digital
transformation, amongst others. Its observations into sustainable
digital transformation may also interest business leaders and
consultants.
This book looks at Japanese companies in manufacturing and services
sectors and how they are trying to emerge from the prolonged
uncertainty of the pandemic. The chapters are written by those
dealing with Japanese business under the shadow of the pandemic and
being influenced by the continuous and rapid adoption of digital
technologies in business and our daily lives. This book brings
together the experiences of big and small corporations while
looking at how digital transformation and the pandemic combined
have led to a transformation in the product, production processes
and services. It highlights the role played by robots, 3-D printing
and renewable energy in manufacturing while the impact can be seen
in the changes coming to future offices, how we work and interact
and how we relax through tourism and travel on the service side.
The services sector is as much impacted by digital transformation
and the pandemic as any other field in business. Aimed at
academics, researchers and practitioners, Japanese Business
Operations in an Uncertain World will provide valuable insights
into how Japanese organizations are adapting to the dual impact of
the pandemic and advancements in digital technologies.

This book explores how the business transformation taking place in
Japan is influenced by the digital revolution. Its chapters present
approaches and examples from sectors commonly understood to be
visible arenas of digital transformation-3D printing and mobility,
for instance-as well as some from not-so-obvious sectors, such as
retail, services, and fintech. Business today is facing
unprecedented change especially due to the adoption of new, digital
technologies, with a noticeable transformation of manufacturing and
services. The changes have been brought by advanced robotics, the
emergence of artificial intelligence, and digital networks that are
growing in size and capability as the number of connected devices
explodes. In addition, there are advanced manufacturing and
collaborative connected platforms, including machine-to-machine
communications. Adoption of digital technology has caused process
disruptions in both the manufacturing and services sectors and led
to new business models and new products. While examining the
preparedness of the Japanese economy to embrace these changes, the
book explores the impact of digitally influenced changes on some
selected sectors from a Japanese perspective. It paints a big
picture in explaining how a previously manufacturing-centric,
successful economy adopts change to retain and rebuild success in
the global environment. Japan as a whole is embracing, yet also
avoiding-innovating but also restricting-various forms of
digitalization of life and work. The book, with its 17 chapters, is
a collaborative effort of individuals contributing diverse points
of view as technologists, academics, and managers.
This book explores the factors that make digital disruption
possible and the effects this has on existing business models. It
takes a look at the industries that are most susceptible to
disruption and highlights what executives can do to take advantage
of disruption to re-invent their business model. It also examines
the pivotal role that technology plays in creating new dynamics to
business operations and forcing business model changes. Adoption of
digital technology has caused process disruptions in a number of
industries and led to new business models (e.g., UEber, AirBnb) and
new products. In addition to covering some of the more popular and
well known examples, this book targets not so obvious disruptions
in the education sector and in services and changing business
models. Phantom Ex Machina: Digital Disruption's Role in Business
Model Transformation is divided into six parts. The book begins
with an introduction to digital disruption and why it matters. The
next part of the book focuses on business strategy which includes
case studies on the impact of social media and how digital
disruption changes pricing strategies and price models. For part
three, the authors observe technology's role in digital
disruptions. Chapters cover how 3D printing is challenging existing
business models and how the automotive industry is innovating with
new perspectives. Part four covers higher education, recognizing
digital disruption's transformation in graduate management
education. Part five centers upon the service industry with a look
at virtual teams and the emergence of virtual think tanks. Finally
the book concludes with a look to the future, embracing
disruptions.
This book presents different perspectives of online business
education - how it is designed, delivered and how it supports
advances in management disciplines. The authors describe online
platforms in their provision of timely, excellent and relevant
business education. The book starts by examining the emergence of
online business education. It offers insights for use to business
educators in design and implementation of online learning. It
presents and discusses technologies for class facilitation and
collaboration including tools used to bring content and issues to
life. Disruptive approaches and new directions in online business
education are examined. The book is ideal for business educators,
administrators, as well as business practitioners that have an
interest in delivering high quality business education using online
platforms and tools. On the Line: Business Education in the Digital
Age is divided into three sections. Section 1 presents papers on
"why" business education is viable and sustainable in today's
context. Treating education as a service, this section describes
new techniques for creating a better online business education
experience. It also looks at the role advanced data analytics can
play in enhancing the quality of online business education. Section
2 delves into "how" online business education works. It presents
conceptual models for teaching in specific disciplines, learning
design that describes what business educators do and how programs
work. This section also addresses performance assessments and
quality assurance measures that help to demonstrate the efficacy of
online pedagogy. Practical applied papers are used in this section
to highlight the use of learning platforms, tools and their
application specific to businesses that build knowledge and skills
and make students 'work ready'. Finally Section 3 of the book
addresses the "so what?" or the outcomes and impacts of online
business education. This section targets where business education
needs to take learning next, for example to support sustainable
business, ethical decision making and inclusive and collaborative
leadership. Chapters deal with topics such as how distributed
online environments may work better to support knowledge and soft
skill building directly relevant for organizations today. Other
learning outcomes showing the value of online business education
are discussed. Academics, alumni and consultants from over fifteen
institutions and organizations around the world contributed to this
book.

With ever increasing trends in urban consumption and production
practices, a call for action to mitigate Climate Change is often
seen as a way to foster sustainable development. Considerable
attention is now being paid to determine what urban sustainability
would include. Today there is a pressing need to broaden our
knowledge and apply new concepts and frameworks to development of
modern cities. Building on the foregoing, this book attempts to
bring together and discuss concepts, tools, frameworks and best
practices to cope with the emerging challenges faced by cities
today. The book will be of use to policy makers, city planners,
practitioners and academics who are starting to project what modern
cities would need to do in terms of energy efficiency, mobility,
planning and design of habitat and infrastructure and adapting to
climate change.
