Scope and Vision Description
Introducing this groundbreaking World Scientific Series (World Scientific Series in Management Strategies, Policies and Implementation) on diverse management challenges, where each volume tackles a pressing issue that individuals, enterprises, communities, and nations are facing. From climate change and pandemics to the persistent challenges of poverty, inequality, DEI, woke organizations, and economic stagnancy, this series delves deep into the heart of concerns that have the potential to shape the future of management research.
What sets this series apart is its unwavering focus on actionable and applied research, policy, and solutions. Each book goes beyond mere analysis to explore bold, evidence-based research and policies designed to address diverse challenges head-on. Whether it's devising innovative strategies to combat rising inequality or navigating the political landscape of ESG or policy reform, these volumes offer invaluable insights into the practical steps needed to effect meaningful change.
Moreover, the series adopts a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of these issues. By highlighting the complex web of relationships between topics such as energy insecurity, conflict, and economic stagnancy, these books shed light on the intricate ecosystem of global challenges and the need for comprehensive, integrated scholarly research and solutions.
Finally, recognizing that management solutions transcend geographical boundaries, the volumes explore the role of regional and global cooperation in tackling issues that affect us all. This series explores the evolving landscape of cross-regional policy-making and the imperative of collective action in addressing shared concerns. Under the leadership of Professor Gideon Markman, a distinguished scholar and journal editor, the World Scientific Series in Management Strategies, Policies and Implementation, which includes high-quality scientific works, e.g. multi-volume reference sets, monographs, edited volumes, and handbooks, is at the forefront of scholarly inquiry into the critical issues of our time. With a commitment to rigorous research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and actionable insights, this series promises to be a beacon of hope in the quest for a brighter, more equitable future for all.
