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.

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.

In today's fast-paced, technology-driven environment, leaders in every sector must grapple with the realities of Artificial Intelligence (AI); from how to harness AI to gain competitive advantage, to how to preserve ethics and human-centric values in the process. Leadership in the Age of Artificial Intelligence gives leaders a clear, durable framework for that shift. The text offers an accessible yet rigorous exploration of these challenges, demonstrating how AI can be leveraged to enhance decision-making, streamline routine tasks, and create transformative organizational cultures.

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this textbook combines foundational leadership principles, such as transformational, servant, and adaptive leadership, with the evolving landscape of AI-driven tools. Readers will learn how to build an AI-ready workforce, develop ethical governance frameworks, and cultivate resilience in the face of rapid technological change. Leadership in the Age of Artificial Intelligence treats AI not as a destination but as a test of the qualities leadership has always required. Each chapter features clear learning objectives, real-world case studies built around composite cases drawn from real organizational life, reflective questions, self-assessment audits and decision frameworks, and a concise summary for quick review.

Written for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practitioners seeking to elevate their leadership skills, this book emphasizes responsible innovation and empathetic leadership. By weaving together examples from diverse industries and geographies, it provides a global perspective on AI adoption, underscoring the vital role leaders play in shaping a future that balances technological progress with humanity's best interests.

This book offers a rigorous, multi-level empirical investigation into the adaptive lag - the systemic mismatch between exponential technological acceleration and linear human-organizational adaptation. Utilizing a robust multiple case study design and narrative synthesis of nine distinct datasets collected between 2020 and 2025 across higher education, vocational, and corporate sectors, the text synthesizes a multi-level perspective with a social change framework to build an innovative theoretical paradigm. It introduces the transformational maturity model and the strategic leadership 5.0 framework, reframing psychosocial competences as quantifiable human capital assets within contemporary Industry 5.0 literature. This book is primarily targeted at management scholars, behavioural scientists, educational theorists, managers, and institutional policymakers. Readers will benefit from an advanced methodological framework that mitigates declarative bias and operationalizes abstract cultural attributes into a verifiable metric: the transformational maturity index. By deconstructing the structural mechanisms of the corporate immune system, the text successfully bridges the knowing-doing gap, offering substantial value to the literature on strategic renewal, systemic governance, and organizational learning potential. Additionally, this book provides actionable frameworks and professional development plans to dismantle institutional inertia, avoid the trap of technological perfectionism, and master durable psychosocial skills such as advanced communication and stress optimization. Ultimately, it empowers leaders to build resilient, platform-based networks where technology serves a higher social purpose.

In the distant past, Duality Strategic Thinking (DT) began to be used mainly by politically minded people as they strove to capture or maintain power and influence in independent domains of a changing world.

This book emphasizes new ways of using Duality Strategic Thinking (DT) that enable readers to solve management problems arising from the differing, but interlocking, needs and expectations of all stakeholders. It provides methods to solve such problems with an understanding of the interactive relationships between and among all stakeholders. When used on a regular basis, this analysis will help to identify the causes of the problems.

To support this goal, it presents an internal, higher education focused system composed of a dozen or more "Building Blocks" that contains classic management skills, such as listening and providing valuable, need-interlocking performance appraisal techniques. It also presents new knowledge required to implement Duality Thinking problem solving skills. These skills need to be strong and effective. At the same time, firms must find creative ways to continually develop flexible business strategies, enhance problem- solving skills, encourage new ways to train, develop, and retain/reward talent.

At a time when leadership development is evolving beyond the traditional paradigms, it's crucial for researchers and practitioners to delve deeper into the concept of leading from a generative standpoint. This book highlights the diverse realms where generative leadership occurs, yet remains overlooked, under-studied, and undervalued. The overarching theme of this volume is to showcase generative leadership development practices, emphasizing the unseen, muted, and discredited ways in which women, across all age groups, exert leadership. Throughout this book, scholars are exploring a range of contexts where generative leadership development unfolds, unpacking the challenges and opportunities.

This volume seeks to provide space and consideration for the unspoken, unsung ways in which people, specifically women, lead. By understanding the implications of leadership on women from all different ages and in a variety of contexts, this book begins to uncover the common thread behind these often-discounted ways of engaging, mobilizing, galvanizing and organizing others for the common good: generative leadership.

Global Generative Leadership is an exploration into the landscape of female leadership, particularly focusing on global generative leadership practices.

The Transformative Women Leaders Series is published in collaboration between the International Leadership Association (ILA) and Emerald Publishing. Celebrating women leaders and the leadership styles they employ to achieve success, the books in this series highlight successful context-specific leadership approaches and the moral qualities of endurance.

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.

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.

Each chapter addresses a contemporary leadership challenge, including coaching, public speaking, crisis leadership, virtual work, AI ethics, joy, and purpose, and concludes with a "Take a Minute NOW" section that invites you to apply ideas in real time.

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.

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.

This book sets out to unpack the human skills, qualities and practices necessary for sustainability leadership and change-making in these complex and urgent times.
