This book offers strategic leaders with essential information for their most important role: the change management function of positioning the organization for success into the future. To do so, leaders need to sort through a myriad of forecasts, predictions and weak indicators of change to make timely decisions. This volume addresses the most critical factor for future success: people and, specifically, harnessing the potential the current youth cohort will bring when they join the full-time workforce. Drawing on multi-disciplinary analyses by 37 researchers, the book presents an integrative assessment of the characteristics that those in the current youth cohort are likely to bring to the workplace. The focus is on those born after 2005 with an examination of the implications of this cohort being raised from birth immersed in an increasingly omnipresent digital environment which extends far beyond social media. The authors see the coming ‘digital tsunami’ as creating disruptive effects across major elements of our economy and even society however optimistically conclude that the digital environment and the development of 21st Century skills in schools will equip the next generation with essential competencies, attitudes, social skills and work goals. The key to harnessing the potential of this generation will be to modify current human resources and workplace practices which will mean sweeping away much of the ‘boomer’ legacy that this cohort has imprinted on organizations. To assist leaders, the book goes beyond presenting a rich portrait of who these youth may become by providing practical recommendations for the changes that need to start now in order to position the organization to benefit from what they will bring. As the astute strategic leader knows: objects in the future can be closer than they appear.

This Regional Studies Policy Impact Book brings together the latest academic evidence and public policy insights with global value chains (GVCs) and foreign direct investment (FDI). It comprises a comprehensive description and explanation of why they matter for regional development and policy. It focuses on how sub-national regions can leverage them for innovation and upgrading, or "levelling up". Specifically, its attention is on how regions can build, embed and reshape GVCs to their local enhancement. The book makes the case for proactive sub-national public policy, on the engagement of GVCs. Vertically engaging with FDI rather than setting the ground and letting manna drop from heaven. Its chosen approach is three-fold. First, it looks at why. Why GVCs and FDI matter and why sub-national policymakers should focus their attention on upgrading. It critically reviews different streams of research and evidence. This is in order to identify key definitions and conceptual foundations for the analysis of the link between GVCs, FDI and innovation at the sub-national and local level. Second, it looks at what. This is through new conceptualisations and critical insights on the regional drivers and impacts of global connectivity, bridging macro-international and micro-firm level approaches. Third, is the critical how. How policymakers can leverage GVCs and FDI for their regional benefit. It aims to review empirical evidence and available policy evaluation in order to highlight what works (and what does not) when leveraging these concepts to shape public policies with particular reference to less developed regions. If the above is of interest, then the book is for you. It is based on leading academic literature but uses non-technical language throughout making it engaging for policymakers, researchers and students alike.

Revolutionizing Food Production: Harnessing the Power of Vertical Farming to Ensure Global Food Security" has explored the potential of vertical farming to address the pressing global challenge of food security. Through a comprehensive examination of the benefits, challenges, and future directions of vertical farming, this book has demonstrated the transformative power of this innovative approach to agriculture.Vertical farming offers a sustainable and efficient way to produce fresh, healthy food, while reducing environmental impact and promoting social and economic equity. By harnessing cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, vertical farming can increase crop yields, improve crop quality, and reduce post-harvest losses. Moreover, it has the potential to address the pressing issues of water scarcity, land degradation, and climate change, which threaten the stability of our food systems. However, the success of vertical farming depends on the collective action of stakeholders, including governments, private sector investors, researchers, and farmers. It requires a supportive policy environment, investment in research and development, and the development of industry standards and best practices. As the global population continues to grow and the pressure on our food systems intensifies, the need for innovative and sustainable solutions has never been more pressing. Vertical farming offers a beacon of hope in the face of these challenges, and it is our hope that this book will inspire and inform the efforts of those working towards a more food-secure future. In the words of Dr. Dickson Despommier, a pioneer in the field of vertical farming, "The future of food production is vertical, and it's a future that's already here." Let us work together to realize the full potential of vertical farming and ensure a sustainable and food-secure future for all.

The world today is more integrated than ever before, with international trade and multinational corporations being a prominent part of global commerce. To lead successfully through such globalization, leaders must bring global mindsets and perspectives to their organizations to navigate critical differences in behaviors and worldviews by each unique country or culture. This study explores whether global, cross-cultural leaders make better decisions which ultimately lead to better outcomes for global corporations by exploring the relationship between cross-cultural leaders and successful organizations as measured by customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility, financial strength, and stock performance. This study collected data on 120 publicly traded companies headquartered in the United States. I hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between cross-cultural leaders and successful companies. The results indicate that cross-cultural leaders were correlated with higher ranked companies by outperforming non-cross-cultural leaders on all of the six metrics above. In addition, this thesis also discusses why cross-cultural leaders are needed more today than ever before from the lenses of global trade and migration, the traits required to be a successful cross-cultural leaders, and how companies can develop cross-cultural talent, all with a focus on their implications for organizations.

This working paper maps out the structure and value chains of the wind industry, analyzes the wind industry's increasing global integration via cross-border trade and investment flows, and offers recommendations to policymakers for the design of investment and trade policies to help realize wind energy's potential. We find that demand for wind energy through longterm government support policies creates the basis for local supply of wind capital equipment and services and associated local job creation; policies that put a price on carbon will further help to make wind energy more competitive and increase the overall demand for turbines and equipment. Cross-border investment rather than trade is the dominant mode of the wind industry's global integration. Principal barriers to global integration are non-tariff trade barriers and formal and informal barriers that distort firms' investment decisions. These include local content requirements, divergent national industrial standards and licensing demands, and in particular political expectations. Intellectual property accounts for only a very small part of cost in the wind industry, and wind technology is widely available for licensing. Intellectual property rights are correspondingly not a major impediment for market participation. Credible long-term commitments coupled with a reduction or elimination of existing barriers to cross-border trade and investment are necessary to harness the full potential of global integration in reducing wind industry prices and increase worldwide deployment of wind energy.
