The recent disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have shaken
the fundamental foundations of global business to their core,
creating unprecedented challenges for management scholars and
practitioners. In addition, over the past few decades, the general
adoption of communication technologies and the evolving trends
towards digitalization and Industry 4.0 have revolutionized the way
organizations are managed and led. Business model innovation and
the developing importance of sustainability have also emerged as
strategic platforms for all types of organizations. Technology-led
managerial transformation has now become critical for 21st century
business.This book investigates four approaches in understanding
the perspectives for integrating technology with holistic
development: a Civilizational Approach, which integrates cultural,
historical as well as geographical nuances in a way totally
different from the Western positivistic models; a Stakeholder
Approach, which involves moving away from a mere participant or
observer role and embracing the 'Stakeholder' role; a Knowledge
Partnership Approach, which lays the foundations of India's
technology-led development through education, training, research
and talent management; and a Strategic Development Approach, which
unlocks the economic growth and wealth creation potential by keying
marketing and branding at the ecosystem level.
This innovative introduction to business policy and strategic
management, covering both the illustrative cases and conceptual
foundation, offers authoritative approaches to strategic leadership
in emerging markets. Among its many unique features, this
comprehensively updated and revised second edition is structured to
help students think strategically.The major organizational issues
in strategy development are covered through an analytical study of:
nine different perspectives on organization to capture the rich
history of the discipline and enlighten the nature of strategy; the
concept of strategic intent to guide action; 9-M model to analyze
strategies in functional areas of manpower, materials, methods,
money, manufacturing, machine, marketing, motivating, and
manipulating; competitive gaming model to strategize different
types of market structures; internetworking model to develop
high-performance Internet ventures; strategic business model to
unfold hidden value into new directions.It also covers: value model
to explain strategic elements of innovation and technology
management; ethical and international issues in the context of
corporate governance; strategic leadership model relevant to the
emerging market ground realities; and, strategic control model
(both balanced and extended scorecard) to explore the influence of
environmental and cultural contexts on effective performance. The
text is well supported by more than one thousand sources of
international research, India-focused case studies and experiential
assignments. This comprehensive text on theory and practice of
strategic management is a must read for management students as well
as business practitioners and consultants.
This comprehensive study examines the global strategies of
multinational corporations (MNCs), the strategic evolution and the
categories of their subsidiaries in China based on 150 MNCs. It is
the first large-scale project of this nature to be conducted. The
research has significant bearing on strategic planning for firms
that have set up, are setting up or are planning to establish
subsidiaries in China, and the firms that try to compete in the
global marketplace. The findings are significant for the West,
owing to the current economic crisis and the need to determine if
subsidiary expansion strategies will help Western firms achieve the
portfolio effects in operations and avoid the harmful impact of
macro events such as the existing global financial crisis.
Additional empirical findings, analysis, discussions, and
suggestions for future studies are also presented.
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of bacterial origin that
results in the progressive destruction of the tissue that supports
the teeth, specifically the gingiva, periodontal ligament and the
alveolar bone. Evaluation of the clinical features of periodontal
disease is critically important in obtaining essential information
that can be used to detect the presence, determine the type and
assess the severity of the disease. At the present time, the
diagnosis of periodontal diseases is almost entirely based on
traditional clinical assessments. Information collected during a
periodontal examination is absolutely essential if one is going to
intelligently determine a diagnosis and develop an effective
treatment plan. Several automated computer-linked,
pressure-sensitive periodontal probes have been developed to more
precisely detect small changes in probing depths and clinical
attachment levels. The findings from such diagnostic procedures
serve as the basis upon which a treatment plan is formulated and,
after treatment, such procedures can also be extremely useful in
evaluating treatment outcomes.
The book comprises detailed Comparative QSAR and Molecular Docking
Simulation study on selective glycine/NMDA receptor antagonists.
Multiple regression Hansch analysis was conducted on fourteen
diverse series. Equations generated were internally, externally and
laterally validated. They indicated the importance of lipophilic,
electronic and steric parameters of various substituents on
quinoxalines, quinoxalin-4-ones and quinazoline-2-carboxylates.
Comparison among equations with scaled CMR parameter indicated
involvement of unique dual allosteric (normal and inverse) effects.
Such allosterism in glycine/NMDA receptor has not been reported
before. Inversion point in both relationships was amazingly 10.
Accuracy in prediction of biological activity of compounds with
aromatic substituents in docking simulations could not be
calculated irrespective of their presence in either upward or
downward legs of both closed and open parabola. This is suggestive
of a mechanism wherein aromatic substituents are involved in
changing the shape of active site residues of the glycine subsite.
Based on non-linear closed parabolic relationships, some new
promising molecules were proposed.
Leadership Across the Globe aims to serve a growing interest in how
to lead in a global or cross-cultural environment. This book
focuses on the corporate setting, with illustrations, theories, and
evidence from various regions around the world. The book includes
coverage of culture and diversity issues in leadership, as well as
a comprehensive, detailed exploration of the comparative aspects of
leadership. Generously illustrated with cases, boxed profiles,
figures, and examples from a wide range of organizations, this is a
relevant resource for anyone seeking a leadership career on a
global scale, in multinational enterprises, or in a multi-cultural
context.
