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.

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.

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.

Artist Entrepreneurship for Life : Making Art Work for You
Holistically addressing the documented needs of practicing artists, this book applies contemporary business management principles to the unique circumstances of people who make their living through creative expression. Artists looking to forge a career have had to turn to either entrepreneurship resources or professional practice tools specific to a discipline such as studio arts or theatre—but the business-school entrepreneurial approach conflicts with the way artists make work and the unique structures of the artist environment, while the professional practice focus neglects the necessary business theory and the wide range of ways artists create viable careers.For the first time, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical foundation for understanding how artists create practices that endure.Employing a strategic management framework, the book spells out prevailing business strategies in marketing, finance, human resources, and the legal environment from an arts-specific and artist-friendly point of view.In a world of perpetually changing communication, distribution, and technology, it also offers a lasting framework and understanding of the broader arts economy, while highlighting contemporary tools and tactics to implement the theories in individual practices. Practicing artists and students preparing for a career in any of the arts disciplines will welcome the artist’s perspective and the many examples from the lives of working artists in a variety of endeavors, while instructors in arts management, administration, and entrepreneurship will appreciate this comprehensive text with research-based pedagogy addressing their needs.

Ethical Leadership : Moral Decision-making under Pressure
Ethical leadership does not simply emerge from a code of conduct, a good school, or a host of good intentions.It is an individual choice, or rather a series of choices that emerges from the complex interaction of personal values with social imperatives.This book explores how and why some people become ethical leaders in morally challenging and complex social environments. In Ethical Leadership, Aidan McQuade provides insight into the concept of human agency – the individual’s choice of a course of action in response to the options posed by that individual’s engagement with the social world.He puts forth a new model of human agency – the "cruciform of agency" – which recognises that the potential range of individual action emerges from the nature of the resonance that social options strike with personal thoughts.Every action adds to the individual’s personal biography in ways that influence subsequent choices by confirming or changing personal values and hopes, hence influencing the way the individual subsequently thinks about the world. In explaining the potential and limits of human agency for ethical leadership, the book establishes a basis for executives, policy makers and academics to conceptualise and develop more robust and realistic approaches for the mitigation of some of the most pressing moral issues facing humanity today.These include the inter-related challenges of modern slavery and global warming, which pose such critical threats to the Earth itself. In this book McQuade not only sets an agenda for action but empowers individual leaders to find the moral courage to better advance human rights and preserve the environment even when such action requires unpopular choices. Events around the book Link to a De Gruyter Online Event in which the author and independent human rights consultant Aidan McQuade together with Bernd Vogel, Director of the Henley Centre for Leadership at Henley Business School, Joanne Murphy, Director of Research & Co-Director of the Centre for Leadership, Ethics & Organisation at Queen’s Management School; Ambassador Luis C. deBaca, Professor from Practice, University of Michigan Law School discuss topics such as: what potentially deters leaders from making ethical decisions; what can they draw upon both internally and externally to do the right thing when doing so may be unpopular; how, in the light of fake news, can leaders communicate ethically; and much more:https://youtu.be/EYAAGiCX4cI

Entrepreneurship focuses on identifying and pursuing opportunities to create new ventures or innovate within existing organizations.
