This book examines the dynamics of knowledge spillovers, sectoral innovation, and firm-level productivity within Vietnam's manufacturing industries. Using Spatial Regression Models and Cross-Classified Models, it analyzes the effects of R&D, foreign direct investment, and trade activities on innovation across 38 sectors and 62 provinces in Vietnam. The findings in the book support the predominance of intra-industry spillovers, aligning with the Marshall hypothesis rather than Jacobs externalities. Sectoral innovation is shown to be positively influenced by R&D and export activities, while FDI and imports exhibit negative associations. At the firm level, characteristics such as size, capital intensity, and export orientation consistently correlate with higher total factor productivity. The book also explores the lagged positive effects of sectoral innovation and provincial human resource externalities on firm productivity, offering insights into the spatial and structural determinants of industrial performance. This book would be an insightful read for those interested in Vietnam's industrial sectors.

This book explores Chinese engagement in Africa's mining sector within the context of international business. Conceptual and empirical contributions by diverse authors examine mining activities of Chinese companies in several African countries. Emerging from those contributions is a theory of minimal investment, defined as the degree to which the companies invest minimally in African operations, communities, and countries just for them to get by (i.e., function as normal).

The volume presents four conditions that explain why minimal investment persists as a dominant logic of foreign firm behaviour in Africa. Institutions permit it, strategies enact it, heritage legitimizes it, and reactions stabilize it. Minimal investment has produced order, and order is safety both for firms and often for host institutions alike. Optimal investment, by contrast, introduces 'danger' because it changes the status quo, redistributes power, and mitigates African rather than firm risk. The Theory of Minimal Investment (TMI) reveals how underinvestment is an intentional, albeit seemingly rational, historically embedded, and institutionally sustained strategy of engagement.

Coming at a time in which African countries are seeing a surge of Chinese interest in Africa, this book offers a cautionary tale of the consequences of organizations seeking the 'help' of Chinese companies. It will appeal to International Business studies and strategy researchers interested in interorganizational relationships, particularly from the African perspective.

From Risk to Resilience challenges how decisions are made in an era defined not only by climate disruption, but by systemic uncertainty. Traditional risk models rely on historical data and stable assumptions. Yet across infrastructure, financial markets, and national systems, these foundations are breaking down, creating a widening gap between modeled risk and real-world uncertainty.

Sharron L. McPherson introduces The Resilience Method (TM), a decision-grade framework that enables governments, investors, and infrastructure leaders to assess whether systems, assets, and communities will remain viable over time. Moving beyond risk mitigation, she reframes resilience as a strategic discipline for operating under uncertainty.Drawing on three decades of experience across finance, law, and policy, and fieldwork across five continents, she connects complex risk signals to real-world decisions. This is a practical framework for navigating volatility, allocating capital with greater confidence, and building systems that endure.

The book shows how managing directors/ CEO create room for growth through the three key roles of the CEO Office - the CEO, the Chief of Staff (CoS), and the Executive Business Partner (EBP).

Many tasks. Little time. Constant decisions.

Anyone leading a company today has to take decisions at speed, solve problems, lead people, and think about tomorrow-all without losing sight of day-to-day operations. For many managing directors, this reality becomes a critical burden. With every additional responsibility, it becomes harder to maintain oversight and ensure that everything runs as planned.

The CEO Office is a structured leadership system that redistributes responsibility to create greater clarity, speed, and impact. It is designed to reduce operational overload, strengthen strategic decision-making, and coordinate internal processes so that leaders can regain time for what truly matters-especially in complex situations. The three roles within the CEO Office are strategically interlinked, enabling clear accountability and effective collaboration.

Discover how to position your company for the future despite a full to-do list-while also clearing your own head. Case studies from mid-sized companies, practical frameworks, and ready-to-use checklists make the system immediately applicable, including in your organization.
