Faced with chaotic environments, it is not possible to make totally efficient forecasts, especially when it is necessary to analyze events with multiple variables and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) constantly face events that escape the laws of the market. The handling that has been given to the crisis caused by the coronavirus has been trial and error, and the economic, social, and environmental results remain to be seen. The markets and the world are chaotic. With the markets in chaos due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to look at the methods used in these environments to promote business success. The Handbook of Research on Management Techniques and Sustainability Strategies for Handling Disruptive Situations in Corporate Settings elaborates on the skills, techniques, and tools that are more useful for these environments and identifies what makes companies that work well in organizational chaos and in chaotic economic environments perform better than companies that are well organized. Covering topics such as strategic management, multidimensional chaos approach, and the global unstable market, this book is essential for managers, executives, academicians, policymakers, entrepreneurs, researchers, undergraduate and graduate business students, and any person interested in state-of-the-art business issues.

A nation's economic success depends on the capacity of its companies and trading organizations to develop business relationships, trade and do business in the international arena. Doing business across borders subtly changes the processes and skills the successful manager needs. Cultural, social, geographic and legal factors serve to complicate the picture. The mantra for managers today is think global, act local. In this handbook the authors concentrate on the big developments that currently are happening at an international level. They consider how managers operating in the global business landscape must change what they do to create advantages and remain competitive. The Global Business Handbook is based on the structure of the very successful IÉSEG International School of Management's programme on international management. It includes a global focus, backed by the latest research on different aspects of international business carried out in different parts of the world.

Although the key role of businesses in the transition towards a sustainable economy has beenwidely acknowledged, early approaches to company sustainability have not managed to createa fundamental reconfiguration of business structures and purpose. One recently emergedbusiness model, the B Corporation (B Corp), holds great promises as a driver of the transitiontowards a purpose economy and companies. This study investigates the transition of certifiedB Corps towards purpose-driven business models in the Swiss context. It is based on thequalitative content analysis of ten case studies of Swiss certified B Corps and two interviewswith members of B Lab Switzerland's team. It combines sustainable business model theorieswith the multi-level perspective on transitions to explore (1) the companies' implementationof a purpose-driven business model, (2) the key hindering and facilitating factors theyencounter, and (3) the role of the B Corp certification in their transition process. It was foundthat all case companies display a strong integration of a societal mission at the core of theirbusiness model, which is strengthened by the tools provided by the B Corp certification.Further, several windows of opportunities for the breakthrough of purpose-driven businessesinto the mainstream economic system were identified, though considerable obstacles to theirinstitutionalization and diffusion remain. It was found that, while the ability of single B Corpsto overcome these obstacles is limited, the B Corp movement at large might be able to do so.By providing a common vision and accommodating a wide range of company profiles, the BCorp model might indeed become a driver of the institutionalization and diffusion of purposedrivenbusiness models. Nevertheless, the study hinted to significant challenges to be expectedin the scaling process of the B Corp movement. The most prominent one relates to the issue ofgrowing while maintaining the sense shared identity and strong values of the B Corpcommunity. These findings allowed to highlight some practical implications for the B Corpmodel. Among these, the most urgent ones seem to be the need for a reconciliation of thediverse identities and values of members of the B Corp community, as well as thereinforcement of the credibility of the certification.

The globalization of the competitive landscape has forced companies to fundamentally rethink their strategies. Whereas once only a few industries such as oil could be labeled truly global, today many-from pharmaceuticals to aircraft to computers-have become global in scale and scope. As a consequence, creating a global competitive advantage has become a key strategic issue for many companies. Crafting a global strategy requires making decisions about which strategy elements can and should be globalized and to what extent.
