Agile Management and VUCA-RR provides cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research and expert insight into the advancing technologies and new strategies being used in businesses settings, as well as for administrative and leadership roles in organizations.
In times of VUCA-RR (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, rapidity and radicality), Agile Management facilitates the competence, capacity, and confidence to adapt and innovate by promoting effective responses to the unexpected and unplanned agility challenges facing most organizations
today, quickly turning challenges into opportunities through agility management. Agile Management and VUCA-RR demonstrates the different radical mindsets of organizational leadership globally and the implementation of strategies that are essential to create agile, entrepreneurial organizations that
thrive in complex, ever-changing contexts.
Chapters from international authors contribute substantially to the research and practice of agile software development through sharing knowledge gained from both their academic and professional communities. The challenges and solutions expressed by each group are presented to inform and teach, as
well as guide us towards future working solutions.
Supply chain management in the construction industry has passed through different eras – yet throughout, the construction industry has experienced fragmentation, late project delivery and other Gordian Knots due to its slow adoption of innovative modern technologies and principles in the
supply chain processes.
Addressing the need to harmonise the construction supply chain and establish the industry as the lynchpin of the economy, Construction Supply Chain Management in the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era acts as a roadmap, re-aligning the activities of the construction supply chain stakeholders with the
principles and tenets of Industry 4.0.
Gathering evidence on both the benefits and disruptive potentials within the current construction supply chain management domain, this collection determines the acceptable practice and standard for regulatory bodies and managers, appealing also to researchers as it expands the frontiers of knowledge
in the fourth industrial era.
The construction industry contributes to growth and economic development in countries around the world, but it can also be wasteful and environmentally damaging.
Traditionally, the success of construction projects is measured in term of time, cost, and quality; however, due to changing clients’ demands and expectations and complexity of projects, project goals are no longer limited to the conventional three indicators. The introduction of
sustainability principle in every sector of the economy, especially through the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), has also affected the measures of project success. There is the need for construction projects to adopt sustainable principles such as reduce, reuse, and recycle
with a view to ensuring that projects are economical, people oriented, environmentally friendly and technically appropriate.
Oke builds on years of knowledge and research providing a comprehensive discussion on various metrics and variables for measuring the success and performance of sustainable construction projects; culminating in an essential text for various stakeholders concerned with the management and
administration of construction and infrastructure projects in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) industry.
Using contemporary examples of business and management research, predominantly within the context of India, this book offers numerous tools and techniques which can be applied to a diverse range of needs in social science research.
With contributions from subject-experts in the field of research methodology and teachers of research methodology courses in leading business schools and universities of India, the book covers the essentials of management research. Covering both qualitative and quantitative research, topics
discussed include:
literature reviews
research designs
qualitative and quantitative data analysis
grounded theory research
questionnaires, focus groups, and interviews

As manufacturing companies become global, excellence will be key to the survival of Indian manufacturing businesses. Despite India's good performance on the export front in recent years, India is being outperformed by its competitors. Indian manufacturing companies must compete with global companies
and become world class organizations to be competitive.
Organizational Culture and its Impact on Continuous Improvement in Manufacturing presents detailed insights into recent studies, providing solutions that can be scaled up at a global level. The lack of competitiveness of Indian companies is attributed to culture in the organization as well as an
inability to introduce world class manufacturing tools which would allow them to become globally competitive.
All the qualities needed to become world class are not currently available, and it is imperative to understand this gap through the detailed research this book presents to ensure India’s manufacturing companies can compete.

Research Methodology in Strategy and Management advances understanding of the methods used to study organizations – including managers, strategies, and how firms succeed.
Just like the impact felt across many other aspects of life and work, COVID-19 significantly changed the way we approach and conduct research. Many researchers will need to tread unfamiliar methodological ground to address these challenges and seize these opportunities to hone their craft,
conducting interesting research in a novel environment. That is precisely why we are making ‘crisis’ the central focus of this volume.
Research in Times of Crisis is an informative book for all academics and researchers working in the fields of management, strategy, international business, entrepreneurship and organization theory.

Resource Allocation (RA) involves the distribution and utilization of available resources in the system. Because resource availability is usually scarce and expensive, it becomes important to find optimal solutions to such problems. Thus RA problems represent an important class of problems faced by
mathematical programmers. This book focuses on development of models and heuristics for six new and complex sub-classes of RA problems in Supply Chain (SC) networks, focusing on bi-objectives, dynamic input data, and multiple performance measures based allocation and integrated allocation, and
routing with complex constraints. It considers six set of variants of the RA problems normally encountered in practice but have not yet been studied. These variants of the classical RA are complex and pertaining to both manufacturing and service industry.
