This book examines the ethical and legal aspects of workplace
bullying from a global perspective. Through an in-depth exploration
of this psychologically destructive managerial technique, it
identifies workplace bullying as a highly potent tool in the short
term to increase employee performance. By deconstructing and
exposing the dark side of workplace bullying, not as a
psychological harmful component, not as a health-related stress
issue, but instead as a management tool to exercise totalizing
control over the employee, this book explores the ethical
modalities which managers tend to cross on a daily basis to get
things accomplished within an organization. This book offers
researchers a thorough examination of management responsibilities
and the power of enforcement strategies used by managers.

This book on entrepreneurship, compiles a series of evidence-based
episodes from the lives of the marginalized and the
minority-oriented entrepreneurs to comprehend whether
entrepreneurship is truly a socio-economic emancipatory strategy.
Varying experiences of entrepreneurs, from different geographical
territories, origins and gender are examined under a critical lens
to deconstruct its emancipatory potential and appreciate its power
in generating human freedom, equal opportunities, and in uplifting
the oppressed and suppressed classes globally. In specific the book
explores entrepreneurs located in two geographically diverse
regions across the world. The social entrepreneurs in the contested
region of Palestine and the black and ethnic entrepreneurial
group based in Georgia, United States. The book is a
planned and purposeful compilation of raw [i.e., in terms of
emotions and feelings], untold stories of entrepreneurs who have
embraced entrepreneurship to eradicate their harsh realities and
subsequently emancipate themselves. The book integrates a critical
perspective, encompassing a variety of theoretical
frameworks such as critical race theory, critical theory, critical
realism and different power modalities and philosophies to
investigate the emancipatory potential of entrepreneurship and
justify it as a socio-economic emancipatory strategy. This book
ventures into the murky and dark waters of entrepreneurship by
exploring this concept within the black and immigrant communities,
as a collective social entrepreneurship reform movement, female
entrepreneurship, informal entrepreneurship operating under
occupation, to provide detailed insights on bricolage and other
complexed economic issues.

Students of color and those of lower economic backgrounds and of
underrepresented groups appear to face a disadvantage when they
transition from high schools into colleges. These students tend to
have lower academic preparation than white students, which leads to
higher levels of stress and anxiety, as well as an increased
placement in remedial courses, which negatively impacts their
graduation rates. As institutions become aware of these facts and
take appropriate measures to improve educational experiences, they
must implement Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT)
initiatives in order to provide equal access to education.
Integrating Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT): An
Effective Tool for Providing Equitable Opportunity in Higher
Education provides information on Transparency in Learning and
Teaching (TILT) concepts and how they can be used in course
development to improve student learning and performance. It focuses
on bringing positive learning experiences to college students,
especially first-generation students, which can lead to higher
levels of academic success. It strongly advocates for transparent
education and provides guidance for overcoming the existing
accessibility gap in higher education. Covering topics such as
business education, online learning platforms, and teaching
modalities, this book is an indispensable resource for
academicians, faculty developers, administrators, instructional
designers, professors, and researchers.
