Agility: management principles for a volatile world fills a tremendous need in the marketplace for a practical set of principles to help managers become more agile. Today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world has created a dynamic, ever-changing, and hypercompetitive global marketplace, challenging managers to think differently. The apprehension of the present moment experienced by managers across industries, sectors, and markets demands a new way of understanding the nuances involved with navigating today's chaos to achieve and sustain growth. With the speed of change, disruption, and transformation expected to increase exponentially now is the opportune time for organizations to rethink the common management paradigms of power (we are bigger), speed (we move faster), or force (we can acquire). Agility, more so, than power, speed, or force is the Kairos for managers today. In archery, Kairos, the ancient Greek word for a proper or opportune time for action, denotes the moment in which an arrow may be fired with suffcient force to reach a target. Now is an opportune time for managers to become more agile and shift their position from one of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, or controlling to one of being a curator, architect, conductor, humanist, advocate, and pioneer. This shift from doing to being is paramount for the agile manager. Agility: management principles for a volatile world provides readers with alist of principles associated with each role of the modern agile manager andis required reading for individuals from small to medium-sized businesses,large corporations, nonprofit organizations, and government offices.

This textbook presents a new era where the main force for social change, research, education, economic betterment, and even employee happiness is the global enterprise. From the outset it is assumed that today all business is global though often with conflicting priorities and potential civilization clashes. Also, it showcases that we operate in a practically borderless world seeking ideas and talents globally. Therefore, this book aims to brief you on business-related issues ranging from historical matters to the realities of the 21st century, from local cultures to global organizations and from political, legal, and economic topics to accounting, finance, marketing, and management perspectives. It also aims to direct your attention to critical business challenges as well as to the need of corporate governance at all levels. These issues relate to the environment and the structure of the corporation. However, these very issues may result in restating the organizational objectives since the corporate era parallels the roles and the responsibilities that countries had in the past. For that matter wise, prudent, knowledgeable, ethical, philosophically-oriented, and enlightened corporate leaders are needed. From a practical side the material presented is better suited for upperlevel undergraduate, graduate study, and executive education, and it provides a combination of how-to-do matters and philosophical perspectives of a new and challenging era.

For nearly three decades, English has been the lingua franca of cross-border organizations, yet studies on corporate language strategies and their importance for globalization have been scarce. In The Language of Global Success, Tsedal Neeley provides an in-depth look at a single organization-the high-tech giant Rakuten-in the five years following its English lingua franca mandate. Neeley's behind-the-scenes account explores how language shapes the ways in which employees who work in global organizations communicate and negotiate linguistic and cultural differences.Drawing on 650 interviews conducted across Rakuten's locations in Brazil, France, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States, Neeley argues that an organization's lingua franca is the catalyst by which all employees become some kind of "expat"-someone detached from their mother tongue or home culture. Through her unfettered access to the inner workings of Rakuten, she reveals three distinct social groups: "linguistic expats," who live in their home country yet have to give up their native language in the workplace; "cultural expats," or native speakers of the lingua franca, who struggle with organizational values that are more easily transmitted after language barriers are removed; and finally "linguistic-cultural expats," who, while native to neither the lingua franca nor the organization's home culture, surprisingly have the easiest time adjusting to language changes. Neeley demonstrates that language can serve as the conduit for an unfamiliar culture, often in unexpected ways, and that there are lessons to be learned for all global companies as they confront language and culture challenges.Examining the strategic use of language by one international corporation, The Language of Global Success uncovers how all organizations might integrate language effectively to tap into the promise of globalization.

Until about twenty years ago, the consensus view on the cause of financial-system distress was fairly simple: a run on one bank could easily turn to a panic involving runs on all banks, destroying some and disrupting the financial system. Since then, however, a series of events-such as emerging-market debt crises, bond-market meltdowns, and the Long-Term Capital Management episode-has forced a rethinking of the risks facing financial institutions and the tools available to measure and manage these risks. The Risks of Financial Institutions examines the various risk
