    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The global business environment is becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable, reflecting the consequences of operating in a dynamic and complex business environment in constant flux with the potential of extreme outcomes. As a consequence, corporate performance data generally displays very few high-performers and a fat tail of many underperforming firms. This business context means that contemporary managers need to be equipped to deal effectively with implied uncertainty, abrupt events, and extreme outcome effects. 




    This volume presents a number of promising ideas about how to deal with the strategic challenges of global business turbulence, as presented at the 2018 EURAM Conference held in Reykjavik, Iceland. There is a need for effective adaptive strategies to survive and prosper in the unpredictable contexts of corporate activities. The various contributions are grounded in prior strategy research but adopt multiple methodological approaches to engage diverse relevant knowledge that can advance this increasingly important field of study. 




    The book presents new perspectives in the study of responsive adaptive processes in organizational settings that has high relevance for social science researchers with interests in these issues. Intelligent and curious managers and management students can likewise gain access to new ideas that may inspire their current thinking on effective organizational practices.


    Business scholars from Europe present eight chapters drawn from presentations given at the EURAM (European Academy of Management) 2018 conference in Reykjavik, Iceland, that argue for the need for adaptive strategy in organizations in the context of turbulent environments. They discuss how CEO characteristics impact the strategic flexibility of a firm, strategy development at a Scottish medium-sized enterprise in manufacturing using an open strategy lens, the role of autonomy and supportive leadership in adaptation and strategic responsiveness in firms by fostering entrepreneurial behaviors, the performance effects of interacting strategy-making processes and the influence of leadership style and applications of interactive control systems, antecedents to strategic responsiveness among medium-sized enterprises in Spain, strategic sense-making and renewal using corporate archives, and temporary incorporation as a mechanism of strategic responsiveness.
