The cooperative movement has played a vital role in economic
development around the world. Cooperatives also contribute to the
achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). They generate revenue for economic growth, support the
development of communities and local culture and help protect the
environment. Cooperatives in Asia have been leaders in their
approaches with comprehensive and supportive policies. Across Asia,
there are unique models of cooperatives - some of which can be
replicated internationally. They utilise collectivisation as an
economic model with the cooperation of their populations.
Cooperatives from Bangladesh, India, Israel, Japan, Nepal and the
United Arab Emirates are also well-known for their proactive
approach to sustainability.This book seeks to document the
governance, leadership and sustainable best practices of
cooperatives, to pave the way for the development of cooperatives
internationally, utilising the sustainable cooperatives of Asia as
examples. Addressing the current gap in research about
cooperatives, the chapters showcase lessons for the cooperative
world in its movement towards sustainability through the
examination of original case studies, as well as quantitative
studies. The volume offers new insights to researchers and
policymakers to understand the ecosystem surrounding cooperatives
and actions to take to work towards their strengthening and
welfare.
Human resources are the most important and costliest assets in
businesses of any nature and size, no matter where they are based
in the world. Talent management is a key managerial function in
MNCs and other organisations with a global presence, but its
importance in small businesses and start-ups cannot be
overlooked.At its most basic level, managing people in small
businesses encompasses compliance with the applicable labour laws,
hiring, and creating a channel for dealing with employee issues.
The price of not having the right employees in a small business can
be extremely high. Workers who are inefficient or in the wrong role
can have critical consequences on the sustainability of a small
business. While most entrepreneurs focus on marketing, finance,
operations, and customers in their initial stages, this means that
they at times fail to establish and address their HR function and
the associated challenges that, if overcome, may help the
organisation to meet all of its targets. This book aims to
highlight these HR challenges and shed new light on how to answer
them.

India's start-up ecosystem, and the government has also launched a
variety of schemes to promote this growth. Indian organisations
have become more competitive, making their global presence felt and
expanding their reach into new industries and sectors.What factors
have been pivotal for the growth of Indian start-ups? How did the
Indian ecosystem evolve to fuel this growth? Is the role of
leadership in start-ups more crucial than in other
organisations?This book, through its diverse range of chapters, not
only provides answers to the above questions, but also makes
sincere efforts to highlight the innovative potential that
start-ups carry and the leadership that is required to sail them
through global competition. The book also provides an insight on
the race of unicorns and how Indian start-ups have been extremely
successful in bagging this coveted title. This edited book is a
must-read for budding entrepreneurs and researchers who aim to

ecosystem support.
