Industry 4.0 and the subsequent automation and digitalization of
processes, including the tighter integration of machine-machine and
human-machine intercommunication and collaboration, is adding
additional complexity to future systems design and the capability
to simulate, optimize, and adapt. Current solutions lack the
ability to capture knowledge, techniques, and methods to create a
sustainable and intelligent nerve system for enterprise systems.
With the ability to innovate new designs and solutions, as well as
automate processes and decision-making capabilities with
heterogenous and holistic views of current and future challenges,
there can be an increase in productivity and efficiency through
sustainable automation. Therefore, better understandings of the
underpinning knowledge and expertise of sustainable automation that
can create a sustainable cycle that drives optimal automation and
innovation in the field is needed Driving Innovation and
Productivity Through Sustainable Automation enhances the
understanding and the knowledge for the new ecosystems emerging in
the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The chapters provide the
knowledge and understanding of current challenges and new
capabilities and solutions having been researched, developed, and
applied within the industry to drive sustainable automation for
innovation and productivity. This book is ideally intended for
managers, executives, IT specialists, practitioners, stakeholders,
researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in the
current research on sustainable automation.

As we begin the third decade of the twenty-first century, women
have entered the workplace in unprecedented numbers, are now
outperforming men in terms of educational qualifications, and are
excelling across a range of professional fields. Yet men continue
to occupy the positions of real power in large corporations. This
book draws on unique, unprecedented access to Chairs of FTSE 350
Chairs, boardroom aspirants and executive head-hunters, to explain
why this is the case. The analysis it presents establishes that the
relative absence of women in boardroom roles is not explained by
their lack of relevant skills, experience or ambition, but instead
by their exclusion from the powerful male-dominated networks of key
organisational decision-makers. It is from within these networks
that candidates are sourced, endorsed, sponsored, and championed.
Yet women's efforts to penetrate these networks are instead likely
to trap them into network relationships that will be of little
value in helping them to fulfil their career aspirations. The
analysis also identifies why women struggle to gain access to these
networks, and in doing so, it demonstrates that the network trap in
which women find themselves will not be overcome simply by
encouraging them to change their networking behaviours. Instead,
there is a need for a fundamental reconsideration of how boardroom
recruitment and selection is conducted and regulated, to ensure the
development of a more open, transparent and equitable process.

Never before has such a serious subject been written about with
such elegance, wit and humour. Jihad: A Short History is
entertaining popular history in strict chronological order
enlivened throughout with wordplay, comedy, graphic detail and
vivid anecdotes on leading figures. It describes Islam's 1,000-year
assault on the rest of humanity, leading up to the concluding
chapter where military jihad has been abandoned in favour of hijra,
migration. It synthesises in a single readable comprehensive volume
the records of the contemporary chroniclers and the works of later
historians, which mostly treat some tiny aspect of this enormous
subject. None of them led the author to question the main thrust of
his narrative. An understanding of the constant invasions of
Christian Europe by the forces of Islam over a thousand years is
vital to properly make sense of the world in which we now live. The
centrepiece of Jihad: A Short History, both figuratively and
literally, is the defining 1453 siege and fall of Constantinople,
which is described in detail and at length in order to convey the
horror of such assaults. Few westerners know of the catastrophic
Battle of Mohacs, one of the greatest military encounters in the
history of central Europe; or of the Battle of Didgori, in which a
staggering 200,000 men perished in a single day of fighting; and
that the Muslims twice reached Vienna and in 1543 besieged and
plundered Nice. Jihad: A Short History concisely tells of these
forgotten events, and of many more epic confrontations.
