The Texas craft beer commercial market has grown tremendously in the past decade, and with it an in-state brewing industry has emerged, including brewery owners and professional brewers of many levels. The demographics of brewing industry owners and employees, however, are largely monolithic with representation of minority groups severely lagging the overall population distribution. Beyond the Taproom: Exploring Representation in Texas Craft Brewing explores this discrepancy with a survey of current statistics for various minority groups, historical data on the alcohol industry and civil rights issues, and a focus on select breweries and individuals working within the Texas craft beer industry.

As part of his research for this book, Paul Hightower interviewed owners, brewers, managers, support staff, and other professionals at Texas breweries (and related businesses) that are owned and operated by individuals who identify with underrepresented demographic groups in the state's craft beer industry. Hightower presents anecdotal information gleaned from those interviews interwoven with statistical and historical information, framing personal stories about the interviewees' challenges and successes within the larger sociopolitical context and history of the beer industry and civil rights movements in Texas and the United States. By doing so, Hightower not only highlights the importance of representation within the craft brewing community but also demonstrates the need for continued examination of the factors impacting the demographics within the industry.

Beyond the Taproom is a significant and unique addition to the formal history of craft brewing in Texas and will inspire newcomers to the industry and serve as a springboard for future research.

This book redefines what it truly means to "go Lean." It challenges the widespread misconception that Lean is simply a toolkit for boosting efficiency within traditional mass production systems. Instead, it presents Lean as a comprehensive industrial paradigm -- an alternative rooted in scalable artisanship, continuous learning, and deep respect for people.

Drawing on Toyota's foundational practices and real-world case studies from across Europe and the Nordics, this book offers a fresh, practice-driven perspective on authentic transformation. Structured around the key contrasts between mass production and Lean thinking, the book helps readers reframe essential business domains -- including product development, quality, logistics, supplier relationships, and people development. Each chapter blends historical insights from Toyota with contemporary examples from industries such as food production, precision manufacturing, and industrial services. The result is a guide that is both practical and philosophical, bridging the gap between abstract principles and the daily realities of leading change.

Authored by a team of globally recognized Lean experts with decades of hands-on experience, this book draws credibility not only from thought leadership but from guiding real transformations in organizations of all sizes. Their combined expertise moves the conversation beyond theory, offering actionable strategies for executives, managers, and coaches committed to driving meaningful change -- not just process optimization.

This book offers a comprehensive, multidimensional examination of how firms move from symbolic sustainability commitment declarations toward genuine Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) transformation.

It advances ESG scholarship in three key ways. First, it introduces the concept of the ESG transformation gap and proposes an original set of measurement tools that provide a new framework for identifying and addressing discrepancies between firms' sustainability declarations and their actual practices. Second, it delivers novel evidence on the financial implications of ESG transformation, examining them from both the corporate perspective and that of households as consumers and investors, while also providing rare empirical insights into the relationship between ESG performance and the cost of capital in European markets, particularly in emerging ESG markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Finally, by integrating financial and managerial perspectives, the book bridges theory and practice and translates ESG principles into diagnostic tools and actionable frameworks that support companies and policymakers in managing and financing genuine ESG transformation. The authors provide a robust theoretical and practical framework for policymakers to enhance the effective ESG transformation process, which is a critical enabler for achieving multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to responsible consumption and production, climate action, reduced inequalities, and strong institutions.

Firmly grounded in the public policy context, the book will appeal primarily to scholars and researchers working in corporate sustainability, sustainable finance, corporate governance, and strategic management. In particular, this will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection between ESG disclosure, organizational change, and firm-level value creation.

A diversity of disciplines perspectives countries topics issues methodologies and research questions are represented in each volume.

The series explores a wide range of topical issues from employees attitudes toward post-merger integration to 'culture fit' to transitional governance arrangements to the effects of complexity and post-merger/post-acquisition integration.

The importance of effective leadership has never been greater in today's rapidly changing world. However, to understand what makes a leader truly effective, we must look beyond the present and explore the historical forces that have shaped modern leadership.

Turning Points: How Historical Events Shape Modern Leadership examines the profound connection between pivotal historical events and the evolution of leadership practices. We live in a complex and rapidly changing world that demands effective leadership more than ever before. It is essential, however, to examine the historical forces that have shaped leaders to understand what makes them effective.

This book is structured into ten chapters, each dedicated to a specific period in history. From groundbreaking ideas and critical incidents to transformative inventions and world-altering events, each chapter explores how these turning points have shaped the way leaders think, act, and inspire today. The book provides readers with a deep understanding of the lasting impact of history on leadership by linking past events to current challenges.

This edited volume offers the first critical perspective on how different business entities -from multinational corporations, to cooperatives, social enterprises, community wealth-building projects, activist hedge funds and Indigenous companies - envisage corporate accountability for human and ecological rights and how this connects to ideas and processes of democratizing the economy.

Taking an actor-focused approach and collecting interdisciplinary case studies of different industries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America since 1945, the book examines a wide range of business reactions to social and judicial critiques, as well as its attempts to weaken international and national accountability processes or foster progressive frameworks of social equality and human and environmental rights. It therefore challenges the idea of neoliberal hegemony as a stable condition and emphasizes the diversity and fragmentation of business responses to corporate accountability and the way they intersect with wider struggles for economic justice and democracy, nature's rights, and ecological regeneration.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners in corporate accountability, human rights, social and environmental justice, democracy, and more broadly to law, sociology, civil society and political science.

This book emerges at a moment when Europe is confronting two profound and interconnected transformations: the digitalisation of work and the ageing of its workforce. Drawing on comparative insights from 22 European countries and the collaborative work of COST Action CA21107: "Work Inequalities in Later Life Redefined by Digitalisation", the volume brings these developments into dialogue rather than treating them as separate policy or research concerns. It asks how digital change reshapes work inequalities, health, inclusion, and opportunity in later working life. Through an introductory chapter and 22 country chapters, the book offers a rich, context-sensitive account of how older workers experience digital transformation across diverse labour markets, institutions, and social settings. It synthesises existing knowledge on how work inequalities in later life are redefined by digitalisation, examines the impact of digitalised work environments on older workers' health, and identifies best practices for understanding and overcoming digital challenges among older people across Europe. In doing so, the volume highlights both the risks of exclusion, technostress, and widening inequality, and the possibilities opened by inclusive technologies, lifelong learning, age-sensitive workplace design, and supportive public policies. It invites scholars, policymakers, employers, and practitioners to rethink digitalisation not only as a technological transition, but also as a social challenge that must be shaped deliberately to support fair, healthy, and sustainable working lives for all generations.

Ultimately, you will discover that strong leadership in a fast-moving world is less about chasing the next shiny solution and more about how you show up when it matters most. The book's candid and accessible strategies will help you lead with clarity and courage without losing yourselves or your people in the process.

Societal expectations of business have shifted significantly in recent decades. While shareholder value remains the central driver of corporate decision-making, companies now face growing demands to account for how they generate profit - demands that are increasingly backed by law. This book argues that the most effective response is not procedural compliance but genuine business model transformation: embedding respect for human rights into the architecture of how companies operate, not as an add-on but as a way of doing business.
Drawing on original field research across the extractive, agricultural, and apparel sectors, the book documents six companies that have done exactly that - generating tangible, positive outcomes for workers and communities while sustaining commercial success. Each case is examined in depth, including its strengths, limitations, and the barriers encountered along the way. The concluding chapters distil five core components of a Transformation Formula that illustrates how business model transformation can be measured and replicated at scale.
Written for a broad audience, including business executives and sustainability professionals seeking evidence-based models for implementing human rights due diligence, lawyers and consultants advising companies on responsible business conduct, policymakers and regulators shaping the frameworks within which business operates, and students and researchers engaging with business and human rights as both a field and a practical strategy, this book provides proof of concept that aligning profits with human rights is not only desirable but achievable.

The chapters present a theoretically grounded framework for understanding sustainability leadership - from creativity to collaboration, self-reflection to dialogue across diversity, fostering care and courage, and how we can enable and build these qualities in ourselves and others. Peppered through the book are also conversation excerpts with other sustainability leaders who share insights into their real-life experiences of change-making - the messy, the complex and the beautiful.

A must read for anyone interested in making change - social change makers, business educators, government officials, and other practitioners interested in creating change towards sustainability, whether that be in a formal leadership role or through informal efforts to shift the system and improve the lives and wellbeing of people and planet in partnership.

A vibrant manufacturing sector is essential to the economic welfare and national security of the United States. Yet for decades, industry and government leaders have avoided practices that other nations have embraced. These choices now place the U.S. at a disadvantage when establishing and scaling new manufacturing capabilities. Two simple questions reveal the core of the problem. First: Why has the United States lost 33% of its manufacturing workforce (six million jobs) since 2000? Second: Why has Germany, a fellow high-tech economy, avoided anything close to such losses?

This book provides honest, evidence-based answers to these questions, illuminating the policy failures, structural weaknesses, and strategic gaps that have undermined American manufacturing. More importantly, they point directly to the steps required to spark a true revival of modern U.S. manufacturing. Blending clear explanation with sharp analysis, this book offers a comprehensive tour of the American manufacturing ecosystem: its economic and strategic value, its global competitors, and the forces (e.g., trade policy, management philosophies, cybertheft, intellectual property, labor practices, and government investment) that shape its strength. It also provides one of the first nuanced discussions of the ethics of manufacturing and trade, confronting issues that are often ignored yet essential to any honest conversation about global competition.

The book challenges readers to look beyond familiar headlines. Yes, the United States runs a massive trade deficit with China-but few realize that state-sponsored cybertheft extracts a comparable amount each year. Many know about labor abuses in overseas factories, but far fewer understand how illegal labor practices distort global markets or why certain investments are labeled "infrastructure" while others are dismissed as threats to free markets. These realities matter, and they directly influence America's economic resilience, national security, and technological future. At its core, this is a call to rethink American manufacturing-not as a fading relic of shuttered foundries, but as a foundation for high-tech growth, well-paid careers, and national strength. It explains how decades of underinvestment and policy missteps allowed competitors to surge ahead, especially after China entered the WTO, and it outlines what the United States must do to rebuild a thriving, competitive manufacturing base.

This book invites readers to imagine a different future: one where factories are expanding, not closing; where innovation is made in America; and where national defense and economic prosperity are never in doubt. The United States has long been a manufacturing powerhouse. With informed policy and renewed commitment, it can remain one.

The Quiet Workforce: Redefining HR for Silent Quitting delves into the growing phenomenon of silent quitting, where employees disengage emotionally and mentally from their work, while still fulfilling the bare minimum of tasks. The author explores the underlying causes of this trend, including burnout, lack of voice in the workplace, and disconnection from organisational culture.

Centred on sustainable organisational performance, The Quiet Workforce presents actionable strategies to transform silent quitting into employee engagement. It highlights the crucial role of HR in creating an organisational culture that prioritises communication, recognition, and proactive leadership. With fascinating insights for both business academics and professionals, it shows how organisations can cultivate a more engaged workforce, reduce turnover, and create a thriving, loyal workplace culture-a necessity in today's business world where employee engagement has never been more critical.

Modern co-operative and mutual enterprises (CMEs) are member-owned corporations. Found around the world and across all industries, CMEs exist to solve economic and/or social problems. Funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) the research underlying this book draws upon multiple longitudinal case studies across industries and nations, collected, and analysed by the authors, to examine the economic and social contribution of the CME business model to their members at a regional or national level. Commencing with an overview of the nature and history of CMEs, the book deploys multiple theoretical frameworks to examine the roles played by social cooperation, government policy, industry structure, and the natural environment in shaping CME business models, corporate strategies, and organisational configurations. The book concludes with a synthesis of the economic and social contributions of these cases, examining their similarities and differences with comparison cases and broader global research. The book's greatest strengths are its historical depth, the scale of its empirical base, and its practical relevance to CME practitioners and policymakers. The inclusion of demutualisation cases alongside enduring success stories gives the analysis genuine critical balance. This is a significant and timely contribution to the CME literature, offering both theoretical rigour and rich empirical grounding. It will be of considerable value to researchers, educators, CME directors and managers, and anyone interested in alternative enterprise models that prioritise community and member benefit alongside economic sustainability.

Decarbonization That Works: From Targets to Results turns climate commitments into operational results. Drawing on the author's two decades of experience implementing decarbonization programs across Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and global institutions, it addresses the central challenge facing organizations: how to translate net-zero commitments into decisions, budgets, and sustained action.

The book follows the same structure practitioners use in the real world: identifying emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), reducing them through energy, fuels, materials, and operations, then addressing residual emissions through carbon markets and removals. It moves from technical solutions to leadership, workforce capability, governance, and institutional design, providing a practical system for decision-making: how to prioritize, sequence, finance, and implement decarbonization strategies across portfolios and supply chains. Part I address why action is required and what must be reduced, while Parts II and III focus on how organizations operationalize, govern, and replicate successful interventions across portfolios, supply chains, and geographies. The book includes decision tools, frameworks, and methodologies already applied across logistics, manufacturing, technology, buildings, and public-sector infrastructure.

This book is a comprehensive, implementation-ready guide for executives, engineers, policymakers, and sustainability leaders responsible for delivering measurable emissions reductions. It reflects experience from programs that achieved TRUE Zero Waste certification, ILFI Zero Carbon certification, verified emissions reductions, and multi-million-dollar operational savings.
