Economical energy supply is vital for a country's financial
success, and factors such as price, continuity, environmental
pollution and the country's own energy resources are important
contributors. Multidimensional Strategic Outlook on Global
Competitive Energy Economics and Finance analyses current trends in
energy production and use, with a focus on technological
developments that contribute to the reduction of price in energy
production and renewable energy sources that provide continuity in
energy production and do not emit carbon into the atmosphere.
Expanding on the current literature, this book focuses purely on
current issues that can increase energy efficiency, while proposing
strategies to use energy more effectively and efficiently. The
strategies presented in this book will be a significant guide to
both academics and industry professionals.
As globalization continues to rapidly evolve, economic borders
between countries have practically disappeared. One effect is that
nowadays companies can access new markets by investing in other
countries. This offers an important advantage especially for
international and large-scale companies. However, one result is the
increased market competition. Small-scale local firms and SMEs have
to compete with international firms and corporations that have
significantly more resources. This competitive environment
jeopardizes the sustainability of the smaller companies, which
often are driven out of business by the more powerful global
players. This book discusses financial strategies for small and
middle size companies to increase their competitiveness in the
global markets.
This book presents various perspectives on innovative work
behaviour, focusing on problem recognition, idea generation, idea
promotion and the realisation of these ideas. It first highlights
important corporate issues, such as uncertainty, performance
management, technological infrastructure, and strategy development,
and subsequently presents studies that offer solutions. Further,
the book evaluates the significance of research and development,
effective communication and corporate governance. Lastly, it
discusses the implications of idea realisation, examining resource
dependence theory, organizational trust and eco-innovations.
This book combines various analyses of strategic priorities in a
competitive market environment, focusing on the balanced scorecard
technique, but also considering customer expectations,
organizational requirements, financial outcomes and technological
infrastructures. The first part explores the financial impacts and
performance measurement of investments, while the second part
examines customer demand in a globalized environment. Part three
then addresses organizational quality and internal processes,
highlighting participatory elements and synergies. Lastly, part
four investigates strategic learning in enterprises as a factor for
sustainable economic success in times of change and disruption.

Energy policies play a pivotal part in helping countries achieve
their sustainable development goals. Further, energy is one of the
critical raw materials in companies' production processes.
Therefore, ensuring a steady energy supply is essential to
increasing production; otherwise, countries will inevitably slide
into recession. In this context, countries should select their
energy policies on the basis of a comprehensive analysis. In order
to achieve this goal, many different factors must be considered at
the same time.The aim of this book is to determine the right energy
policies for the sustainable economic development of countries. In
this framework, effective strategies for different types of energy
will be presented and vital issues such as determining the right
locations for nuclear power plants, providing optimal government
incentives to increase clean energy investments, and determining
appropriate energy policies to reduce energy dependence will be
examined. Thus, country-specific optimal energy policies will be
outlined, contributing to the achievement of the UN's sustainable
development goals (SDG).
This contributed volume analyses and discusses how atmospheric
carbon emissions can be prevented using carbon capture and removal
technology and how renewable energies can be used to reduce carbon
emissions. Both approaches have their disadvantages. First of all,
both involve high costs. Secondly, both require the use of advanced
technology. As a result, many countries continue to use fossil
fuels. The book seeks to address these problems by identifying
strategies to increase countries' use of clean energy. The authors
discuss the dilemmas of zero emission and competition in the energy
industry and illustrate cross-country applications of the current
trends in the form of zero-emission business projects.

Energy has a wide range of uses within a country, includin socially
and economically. Providing everything from warmth and light to raw
materials for industrial production, energy is an essential need
for countries. Due to the importance of energy for countries,
energy policies are extremely vital, and energy needs to be
affordable, eco-friendly, and continuous so countries can provide
for their people and continue to develop industrially. Without the
availability of energy that is cheap and continuous, the
effectiveness in the energy supply process will be reduced, and
society will experience difficulties in having its daily energy
needs met. The Handbook of Research on Strategic Management for
Current Energy Investments analyzes current trends in energy
production and use and identifies energy investment strategies in
order to support affordable and available energy for all. Chapters
within the book cover technological developments that contribute to
the reduction of price in energy production as well as renewable
energy sources that provide continuity in energy production but do
not emit carbon into the atmosphere. This book highlights topics
that cover environmental pollution, energy pricing, economic
growth, carbon dioxide emission, and energy management. It is ideal
for engineers, technicians, managers, researchers, academicians,
policymakers, government officials, and students in related fields.
