Leadership and Strategic Management : Decision-Making in Times of Change
Managers are facing unprecedented complexity, volatility, and ambiguity, quickly adapting their decision-making, leadership, vision, and strategies.Megatrends and forces of change have profound implications for business models, processes, and organizational structures, calling into question current paradigms and designing future change.Additionally, unprecedented disruptions, unforecastable in their nature, have increased the need for resilience and strategic flexibility. The book aims at tackling the potential interrelations among environmental transformations, strategic decisions, and leadership to better understand the role of external and internal factors on the effectiveness of managers.The book defines “change”: its extent, nature, and characteristics.Then, it focuses on decision-making, the role of potential cognitive biases, and how the interaction with the perception of determined environmental events affects the way in which decision-makers decide to implement specific strategies.Finally, in the light of waves of strategic change, it reviews theories on leadership and transformation by looking at the role and traits of leaders. Since environmental transformations have the potential to “disrupt” not only strategies but also decision-making processes and leadership, the book provides a review on the issue and propose an integrative framework which can be useful for both scholars and managers, especially in the fields of decision-making and strategy.

What is the difference between conspiracy theories, conspiracy ideologies, and conspiracy myths?
Conspiracy theories are explanations for events or phenomena that involve secret plots by powerful groups. They are often based on limited evidence and are not widely accepted by the mainstream. Conspiracy ideologies are broader belief systems that encompass multiple conspiracy theories and often involve a deep distrust of authority and a belief in the existence of a powerful, malevolent group controlling world events. Conspiracy myths are specific stories or narratives that are widely circulated within a culture or community, often with little or no basis in fact, and are used to explain or justify certain events or phenomena.

Which federal states have sole decision-making authority?
In a federal system like the United States, federal states that have sole decision-making authority are often referred to as "unitary states." In these states, the central government holds all decision-making power and delegates limited authority to lower levels of government. Examples of unitary states include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, where the central government has the final say on most policy matters. This centralized system contrasts with federal states like the U.S. and Germany, where power is shared between the central government and individual states or regions.

Conspiracy theorists are individuals who believe in and promote alternative explanations for events, often attributing them to secret plots by powerful groups or individuals.

Theory Conspiracy
Theory Conspiracy provides a state-of-the-art collection that takes stage on the meeting and/or battlegrounds between conspiracy theory and theory-asconspiracy.By deliberately scrambling the syntax—conspiracy theory cum theory conspiracy—it seeks to open a set of reflections on the articulation between theory and conspiracy that addresses how conspiracy might rattle the sense of theory as such.In this sense, the volume also inevitably stumbles on the recent debates on postcritique.The suspicion that our ways of reading in the humanities have been far too suspicious, if not paranoid, has gained considerable attention in a humanities continuously questioned as superfluous at best and leftist and dangerous at worst.The chapters in this volume all approach this problematic from different angles.It features clear engaging writing by a set of contributors who have published extensively on questions of paranoia, conspiracy theory, and/or the state of theory today.This collection will appeal to readers interested in conspiracy theories, critical theory, and the future of humanities.

Conspiracy/Theory
In an era of intensified information warfare, ranging from global disinformation campaigns to individual attention hacks, what are the compelling terms for political judgment?How are we to build the knowledge needed to recognize and address important forms of harm when critical information is either not to be trusted or kept hidden?Rather than approach conspiratorial narrative as an irrational response to an obviously decipherable reality, Conspiracy/Theory identifies important affinities between conspiracy theory and critical theory.It recognizes the motivation people have—in their capacities as experts, theorists, and ordinary citizens—to search for patterns in events, to uncover what is covert and attend to dimensions of life that might be hiding in plain sight.If it seems strange that so many find themselves living in incommensurable, disorienting realities, the multidisciplinary contributors to Conspiracy/Theory explore how and why that came to be.Across history and geography, contributors inquire into the affects and imaginaries of political mobilization, tracking counterrevolutionary projects while acknowledging collective futures that demand conspiratorial engagement.

Conspiracy Theories
9/11 was an inside job. The Holocaust is a myth promoted to serve Jewish interests.The shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were a false flag operation.Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government. These are all conspiracy theories. A glance online or at bestseller lists reveals how popular some of them are.Even if there is plenty of evidence to disprove them, people persist in propagating them.Why? Philosopher Quassim Cassam explains how conspiracy theories are different from ordinary theories about conspiracies.He argues that conspiracy theories are forms of propaganda and their function is to promote a political agenda.Although conspiracy theories are sometimes defended on the grounds that they uncover evidence of bad behaviour by political leaders, they do much more harm than good, with some resulting in the deaths of large numbers of people. There can be no clearer indication that something has gone wrong with our intellectual and political culture than the fact that conspiracy theories have become mainstream.When they are dangerous, we cannot afford to ignore them.At the same time, refuting them by rational argument is difficult because conspiracy theorists discount or reject evidence that disproves their theories.As conspiracy theories are so often smokescreens for political ends, we need to come up with political as well as intellectual responses if we are to have any hope of defeating them.

Are 9/11 conspiracy theorists the most stubborn conspiracy theorists of all?
It is difficult to definitively say whether 9/11 conspiracy theorists are the most stubborn of all conspiracy theorists, as there are many different conspiracy theories and theorists with varying levels of persistence in their beliefs. However, 9/11 conspiracy theories have been widely debunked by experts and official investigations, yet some individuals continue to hold onto these beliefs despite evidence to the contrary. This persistence may be due to the emotional impact of the event and the desire to make sense of a traumatic event through alternative narratives.

How can citizens' councils be equipped with political decision-making authority?
Citizens' councils can be equipped with political decision-making authority by implementing a system of direct democracy, where citizens have the power to directly participate in decision-making processes. This can be achieved through mechanisms such as citizen initiatives, referendums, and participatory budgeting, which allow citizens to propose, vote on, and influence policy decisions. Additionally, citizens' councils can be given formal recognition and support from government institutions, ensuring that their recommendations and decisions are taken into consideration in the political decision-making process. Furthermore, providing citizens' councils with access to resources, information, and expertise can help to enhance their capacity to make informed and effective decisions.
