Leadership and management education has relied too heavily on
insights from North America and Europe - regions where growth has
stagnated in recent years. In this book, EFMD and the top ranked
business school HEC Paris have teamed up to explore and critically
review key cases in leadership, management and several functional
areas in the MENA region. The MENA region hosts a variety of
countries with tremendous growth opportunities in both the present
and future. Simultaneously, the region is highly heterogeneous.
GDP, overall development and the nature of players and competition
differ drastically. Based on the best submissions of the annual
EFMD case competition, this book enables the reader to learn more
about the success factors as well as the particularities of the
region. The book is intended for all those readers interested in
exploring to what extent doing business is culture-bound versus
culture-free. With rich descriptions of contrasted settings, unique
insights into the specific challenges and new solutions tailored to
better prepare future actions, this book will be required reading
for management scholars in many disciplines.

What is the purpose of our economic system? What would a more
life-serving economy look like? There are many books about business
and society, yet very few of them question the primacy of GDP
growth, profit maximization and individual utility maximization.
Even developments with a humanistic touch like stakeholder
participation, corporate social responsibility or corporate
philanthropy serve the same goal: to foster long-term growth and
profitability. Humanism in Business questions these assumptions and
investigates the possibility of creating a human-centered,
value-oriented society based on humanistic principles. An
international team of academics and practitioners present
philosophical, spiritual, economic, psychological and
organizational arguments that show how humanism can be used to
understand, and possibly transform, business at three different
levels: the systems level, the organizational level and the
individual level. This groundbreaking book will be of interest to
academics, practitioners and policymakers concerned with business
ethics and the relationship between business and society.

This book aims at catalyzing our learning from the COVID-19 crisis.
Numerous studies have emerged confirming that during the COVID-19
pandemic, crisis management has been far from holistic. Progress
previously made towards sustainability has in many cases been
reversed and global inequality has grown. This volume scrutinizes
the crucial role of businesses in the lived experience of the
COVID-19 pandemic and calls for a new goal system in business,
establishing human dignity as the ultimate outcome of sound
business. Part of the Humanism in Business Series, this book brings
together a group of international experts to consolidate the
lessons to be learnt from the pandemic and how it was handled. It
explores the foundations of the crisis, before focusing on selected
sectors and regions for analysis and, finally, drawing conclusions
according to the principles of humanistic crisis management. It
will be of great interest to scholars and students of business
ethics, as well as policy-makers, professionals and all those who
practice humanistic management.
Business schools have been criticized for several things, such as
lacking relevance, a too weak ethics orientation, dated paradigms,
or commercialization. Simultaneously, there has been much positive
change and accelerated dynamics toward forming future-ready
companies and graduates. This book outlines how to better
understand and master the digital transformation challenge. It is
essential that business school deans, program directors, and
faculty members embrace new opportunities to bring the UN-backed
Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) to life
successfully. Part of the Humanism in Business series, this book
constitutes a valuable resource for leaders in universities and
business schools, as well as individual faculty members aspiring to
optimize how they respond to digital transformation. It can also be
of use to those studying responsible management education,
leadership and business ethics more generally.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are one of the top
investment priorities in these days. We expect that by 2030, some
800 million jobs will have disappeared and taken over by machines,
and artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029.
Continuing this train of thought to 2045, we will have multiplied
the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our
civilization a billion-fold. The time of machines requires new
forms of work and new ways of business education. This book is
authored by a range of international experts with a diversity of
backgrounds and perspectives hopefully bringing us closer to the
responses for the questions like how may AI be used /or is a threat
for PRME implementation, how will AI impact the business education
world or what we should teach in business school in the time of AI
(what the 'right' set of future skills is)? In our book, we address
the following questions: 1. How will AI impact the business
education world? 2. How will AI be used in business schools and
management learning? 3. Is AI a threat for the successful
implementation of PRME? 4. What should new learning goals be? 5.
How should we create next generation learning journeys?

wettbewerbsentscheidenden Waffe. Folglich muss
Komplexitätssteuerung immer mehr zur Kernaufgabe von
Führungskräften werden. Dieses Buch inspiriert mit klaren
Orientierungs- und Handlungsprinzipien für den erfolgreichen
Umgang mit Komplexität sowie zahlreichen Anwendungsbeispielen.
The book Anti-Corruption in Management Research and Business School
Classrooms aims at presenting the topic of anti-corruption
activities throughout management research as well as in the process
of educating future business leaders and practitioners in business
schools in different parts of the globe. Simultaneously the book
deepens the topic of anti-corruption in selected cultures and
societies. The volume consists of four parts and includes three
themes. The first part is the "Introduction" and subsequent parts
are as follows: "Teaching business ethics and
anti-corruption-across curriculum and beyond", "Fostering integrity
in higher education", and "Anti-corruption as a topic of research."
This book is authored by a range of international scientists and
experts in management research and management education, with a
diversity of cultural and professional backgrounds. It is therefore
believed that this broad experience and expertise will give the
readers the new light for the significance of teaching and
researching in the area of anti-corruption.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are one of top investment
priorities in these days. They are aimed at finding applications in
fields of special value for humans, including education. The fourth
industrial revolution will replace not only human hands but also
human brains, the time of machines requires new forms of work and
new ways of business education, however we must be aware that if
there is no control of human-AI interaction, there is a risk of
losing sight of this interaction's goal. First, it is important to
get people to truly understand AI systems, to intentionally
participate in their use, as well as to build their trust, because
"the measure of success for AI applications is the value they
create for human lives" (Stanford University 2016, 33).
Consequently, society needs to adapt to AI applications if it is to
extend its benefits and mitigate the inevitable errors and
failures. This is why it is highly recommended to create new
AI-powered tools for education that are the result of cooperation
between AI researchers and humanities' and social sciences'
researchers, who can identify cognitive processes and human
behaviors. This book is authored by a range of international
experts with a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives hopefully
bringing us closer to the responses for the questions what we
should teach (what the 'right' set of future skills is), how we
should teach (the way in which schools should teach and assess
them) and where we should teach (what implications does AI have for
today's education infrastructure). We must remember as we have
already noticed before "...education institutions would need to
ensure that that they have an appropriate infrastructure, as well
as the safety and credibility of AI-based systems. Ultimately, the
law and policies need to adjust to the rapid pace of AI
development, because the formal responsibility for appropriate
learning outcomes will in future be divided between a teacher and a
machine. Above all, we should ensure that AI respect human and
civil rights (Stachowicz-Stanusch, Amann, 2018)".
The book Mastering Anti-Corruption - The Practitioners' View is
aimed at presenting different ways and modes of mastering
anti-corruption in selected countries. By showing examples and
cases the authors of particular chapters would like to emphasize
the necessity of implementing solutions that will help to prevent
corruption at all or at least will diminish its negative effects on
business and human beings. The book is divided into four parts:
"Introduction", "Anti-Corruption as a Topic in Practice - national
and international perspective", "Anti-Corruption as a Topic in
Practice - organizational perspective" and "Anti- Corruption as a
Topic in Practice - ethical perspective". Authors of this book
presented a wide range of issues and topics covering the problem of
preventing and fighting the corruption around the world. Hopefully
the cases will constitute a good practice for countries and nations
facing the problem of corruption and will be an inspiration for
further research as well as practical applications in this area.
The book Management Education for Corporate Social Performance is

education for Corporate Social Performance", "the role of
management education in Corporate Social Performance", and "using
knowledge from practice and theory for responsible management
education". The book combines state-of-the-art international views,
which can inspire academia as well as corporate practices.
The book Academic Social Responsibility - Sine Qua Non for
Corporate Social Performance is our endeavor to disseminate the
awareness of the significance of responsible (especially
management) education not only for academic stakeholders, but for
the whole society. It is an interesting combination of theories,
studies, recognitions, and experiences gained by authors from
different countries, institutions, who function in various
institutional and cultural conditions. The book is divided into
"Introduction" and three parts: "Towards the Socially Responsible
University", "Socially Responsible Education for Enterprise
Development", "Human Voice in Responsible Management Education".
The authors present fresh concepts for socially responsible
university, their impact on real business performance as well as
discussions on specific issues when implementing academic social
responsibility in practice.
