This proceedings volume provides a multifaceted perspective on
current challenges and opportunities that organizations face in
their efforts to develop and grow in an ever more complex
environment. Featuring selected contributions from the 2019
Griffiths School of Management Annual Conference (GSMAC) on
Business, Entrepreneurship and Ethics, this book focuses on the
role of creativity, technology and ethics in facilitating the
transformation organizations need in order to be ready for the
future and succeed. Growth and development have always been
imperative for people, organizations, and societies and a relevant
topic in the management sciences. Globalization, along with
dramatic changes in social, cultural, and technological progress,
are the main factors that determine the current conditions for
development, putting forth a new set of challenges and
opportunities that are putting pressure on organisations to adapt.
Although technology and creativity seem to be the mantra for
success in this new context, issues around the ethics of these two
factors also seem to be crucial to the sustainability of growth in
organizations. Featuring contributions on topics such as academic
marketing, technology in healthcare organizations, ethical issues
in hospitality, artificial intelligence and data mining, this book
provides research and tools for students, professors, practitioners
and policy makers in the fields of business, management, public
administration and sociology.

This book explores challenges and approaches to the development,
financial management and growth of Eastern European organizations,
both public and private. Including papers derived from the 2015
Griffiths School of Management Annual Conference on Business,
Entrepreneurship and Ethics (GSMAC), organized by Emanuel
University of Oradea, the authors provide a variety of strategies
for growth and development in areas such as IT, medical management,
marketing, entrepreneurship and family business. Collectively,
these contributions provide a problem-solving framework that
tackles such questions as: How are the growth and financial models
of organizations changing? How should leadership in organizations
adapt in order to ensure sustainable growth? How should educational
concepts and methods be improved to help the next generation in the
new global business environment? The rapid evolution of technology
and innovation has changed the face of the business environment.
With new actors in the global marketplace and new means of
production, marketing and finance, businesses-particularly those in
emerging regions, such as Eastern Europe-are faced with the
pressure to rethink their structures and models from within. In
this new economic climate, common issues such as corruption, risk,
and customer satisfaction need to be examined from a globalized
perspective. The goal of the 2015 GSMAC conference and the
resulting papers is to help organizations and institutions in
Eastern Europe and other developing regions formulate strategies
and policies to thrive in this environment and promote sustainable
management practices.
This book aims to provide insight into the fields of business and
leadership by examining the role of ethics in these areas. The
papers in this book derive from the 2014 Annual Griffiths School of
Management International Conference, organized by Emanuel
University of Oradea, Romania, where academics and practitioners
interacted and discussed current insights and research in the
different dimensions of business ethics and leadership. This
resulting book offers empirical and theological research on ethics,
business and leadership from a transdisciplinary and knowledge-
based context. Since the financial crisis in 2008, the debate on
business ethics and leadership has dominated the public sphere at
all levels of interest, from grassroots to the elites in
educational institutions, governments, businesses and NGOs.
Naturally, constructive and transdisciplinary discussions need to
take place, with due consideration for the specific context of each
situation, so that propositions upon which to build the future can
be formulated. These discussions unfold in an ever more intricate
world of business, powered by ever more pervasive and intelligent
technology and scientific development, all brought together by
globalization. In this world, organizations are faced with new and
more complex ethical issues in their pursuit to serve clients, gain
profits, motivate employees, collaborate with partners and act
responsibly towards society and the environment. A wise approach to
changing the future is to understand the mistakes of the past,
because one must always learn how to overcome past mistakes in
order to develop a better future. But a necessary approach to
building a better future is looking at the world through a
transdisciplinary mindset. This allows us to see the world as a
complex whole; it fosters creative interaction between fields of
knowledge; it opens doors for knowledge and innovation flows across
disciplines; and it allows the tackling of complex problems and
situations. Given the current context of our world, this is an
approach that we ought to pursue. Featuring contributions from
academics, researchers, scholars and practitioners from across the
globe, this book will be of great interest for students and
practitioners in the fields of business, leadership and ethics.
This book explores the increased necessity of organizations to
encourage human talent in the globalized economy, with particular
emphasis on the impact in Eastern Europe. Featuring contributions
presented at the 7th Annual Griffiths School of Management
International Conference on Business and Ethics (GSMAC) organized
by Emanuel University of Oradea, this book presents in-depth
analysis of the economic, social and religious implications of the
transition from low cost of labor to increased human talent in
Eastern Europe and offers multiple theoretical and practical
solutions. In 2004, Klaus Schwab, president and founder of the
World Economic Forum, stated that the old era of capitalism and
socialism is being replaced by a new era of "talentalism". The true
competitive advantage of organizations and nations is increasingly
becoming human talent, defined as the ability to "have new ideas
that have value". Nations and organizations are exploring ways to
reform their education systems and organizational structures in
order to train, foster and encourage human talent. In Eastern
Europe since the fall of communism in 1989, the competitive
advantage of the region has been low cost of labor. However, since
the integration within the European Union, millions of Eastern
Europeans have left their home countries rendering the "low-wage
competitive advantage" almost obsolete. In addition, the migration
of able-working individuals has left behind mainly children and
pensioners, placing a disproportionately heavy burden upon public
and government services. It is within this context that the
contents of this book explore the impact of the increased need of
high human talent on Eastern European countries. Featuring
contributions around topics such as poverty, healthcare management,
cross-border cooperation, education systems, and religious
influence on economic development, this book will be of interest of
scholars, researchers, students and policy-makers interested in the
business development and economic growth of Eastern Europe.

This volume explores the value of business integrity and ethics as
a "best practice" model in business strategy. The authors define
business integrity, explore areas in which integrity is often
absent or discredited, and provide a framework and tools to help
build better business ethics and corporate social responsibility.
The volume aims to reveal that beyond the immediate economic
effect, corruption can ruin entire countries by destabilizing key
economic and political players, warping their vision for state
development. Against the backdrop of global financial and ethical
crises, the authors argue that integrity in business is a key
component for long-term success. Integrity includes the ability to
be consistent with one's moral values and principles and places
society's wishes at the center of business decision-making. The
cornerstone upon which a culture of integrity is built within a
certain business is the ethics code. It explicitly states the
values and principles to which a company adheres. The continuous
promotion, support and communication of the ethics code
stipulations provide the basis upon which integrity in business is
built. Featuring case studies from countries such as Sweden, Great
Britain and France and companies such Starbucks, Nike, PSEG, and
Anglo-American PLC, this volume provides a comprehensive study of
business integrity and social responsibility that will be of
interest to students, scholars, professionals and policy-makers
from around the world.
By 2020, the global economy, led by the US - China duopoly, was

organizations, governments, systems and developing countries.
