Global Family Capitalism
Author: Paloma Fernández Pérez
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040271782
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Emphasizing the diversity of regional and national models, this book explores the history of transformation of family businesses around the world during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Expert contributors explore place-based family capitalism and the local embeddedness of family businesses, looking at how and why this family capitalism was transformed during the globalization and de-globalization periods in the last century. It explores the variation in the adaptations and transformation undertaken by family businesses in response to changes in technology, globalization, ideology, and institutions, as well as world wars, pandemics, and economic crises. The book also evaluates the relationship between changes in the internal organization and strategies of family businesses with external forces such as the political ideologies, changing ideas about the very nature of what constitutes a family, and changes in how the State has perceived families and family businesses in the world. The book also shows that despite all profound transformations in family capitalism, these businesses have remained resilient entrepreneurial forces and strong creators of wealth and employment. This book will be of great interest to readers in business and economic history, family business, and entrepreneurship.

Public Management Reform in the Gulf Cooperation Council and Beyond
Author: Mhamed Biygautane
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000876101
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This book offers an understanding of the current state of public management in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, highlighting the region's institutional and human capital constraints. Drawing on case studies from GCC states and beyond, the book provides a policy-oriented analysis of these challenges and a set of recommendations on how to address them. Public Management Reform in the Gulf Cooperation Council and Beyond utilizes several theoretical frameworks to explore three themes: first, how the quality of government and efficiency of its bureaucratic machinery can offer a business-friendly environment for the private sector; second, how public-private partnerships can foster stronger collaboration and exchange of knowledge and expertise between the public and private sectors; and finally, how the existing human capital constraints may be addressed through the effective implementation of talent management, knowledge management, and training programs. A comparative approach is taken throughout the book, contrasting the performance of GCC states with other Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries in key governance, public sector performance, and business competitiveness indicators to identify what the GCC states need to do to enhance the quality of government and the capacity to deliver services more efficiently. This book will appeal to academics, practitioners, policymakers and private sector consultants, as well as those interested more broadly in the Middle East and the Gulf region.

Sustainable Prosperity in the Arab Gulf
Author: Jarmo T. Kotilaine
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100092176X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Tracing the development journey of the Arabian Gulf region with a forward-looking perspective, this book describes how a combination of good fortune, creative experimentation, and determination has enabled the region to achieve prosperity. Today, the Arabian Gulf is well positioned to assume a pivotal role in the new global order. Forced to balance an extreme climate and acute resource constraints, but also an exceptional location, the region’s progress and prosperity have historically been precarious and vulnerable to external shocks. Efforts to transcend resource dependency have typically involved proactive attempts to enable other economic activities. This book argues that, while conventional economic diversification is making headway, the Gulf region is in fact amidst a far more holistic transformation that positions it for a pivotal role in the emerging multipolar global order. It now offers globally competitive regulations and world-class infrastructure at the heart of the Old World, flanked by two fast-growing continents. It has become the hub of choice for a growing share of inter-continental flows of people, trade, and capital, and has established strong economic ties in all directions. This book shows how, despite many risks and challenges, the region possesses the forward-looking vision and necessary resilience that can finally liberate it from its long-standing "resource curse" and a development paradigm that looks likely to provide the foundation for sustained well-being in the decades ahead. The scope and rigor of the book make it suitable as a reference on the Arabian Gulf and for those interested in global affairs and economic development, as well as policymakers and the business community.
