Strategic Management in a Global Era: The Playbook for Competitive Advantage in a Volatile World | Book Publisher International

 

This book examines strategic management as practised in an era defined by globalisation, rapid technological change, social transformation, and increasing regulatory complexity. It brings together foundational and advanced perspectives, covering key areas such as competitive advantage, industry and environmental analysis, internal resource evaluation, business- and corporate-level strategies, international expansion, business growth through mergers and acquisitions, strategy implementation and control, strategic resource management, and strategy evaluation. The book also addresses contemporary themes, including organisational change and leadership, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, sustainability, stakeholder capitalism, platform-based competition, cultural diversity, and government regulation in global markets. The central aim of the book is to provide a rigorous yet practical framework for understanding and applying strategic management in today’s interconnected and dynamic business environment. As technological disruption, geopolitical shifts, and rising social expectations reshape how organisations operate, traditional strategy models alone are no longer sufficient. This work responds to that reality by equipping students, managers, and policy-oriented leaders with analytical tools and strategic perspectives that reflect modern competitive conditions. The book adopts an integrated scholarly approach, drawing on systematic reviews of peer-reviewed research, international policy and regulatory documents, and established strategic frameworks. These are complemented by applied models and case-based illustrations that link theory to practice. The analysis shows that sustainable competitive advantage increasingly arises from dynamic capabilities, digital intelligence, ethical leadership, stakeholder engagement, and organisational adaptability rather than from static resources or protected market positions. By bringing classical strategy together with emerging global challenges, this book provides a comprehensive and forward-looking guide to strategic management in the twenty-first century.

The Eurasian Economic Union assert is fundamental for Russia, because allure role as the engine for allure superpower is strength dominance. Russia produces 20.7% of the globe's natural gas and 14.6% of the globe's oil and gas water buildup. The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU or EAEU is a project for the economic unification of the former Soviet domain. Its formal aims are to create a economic unit much like the European Union (EU). There are four targets concerning this forum, that is to say:1) coordinating business-related policy, 2.) eliminating non-tax trade impediments,3) harmonizing regulations, and 4).modernizing the savings of its five appendage states. While the whole population of EEU appendage states is estimated 180 heap people.The Eurasian Economic Commission, that serves as the EEU's regulatory frame, is situated in Moscow, and the Eurasian Economic Union Court is based in Minsk. The Commission's expert is constrained. The Commission lacks the expert to refer a appendage state to the Court in a case of non-compliance, and appendage states that disagree with allure rulings may attract other bulks. Contrary to EAEU institutions, mutual agreements are frequently used to relieve disputes. Member States shall establish favorable environments for fulfillment of the functions of the EAEU and be going to refrain from measures that could hamper the achievement of the aims of the EAEU. Bureaucratic forms of the EU have not existed fully reproduced by the EAEU, which appears a slow phase of allure development up until now. This is might be made by EAEU GDP in 2019 being the majority Russian economy (87%). Russia is without a doubt the largest appendage state and dominates the Union. This domination resources that Russia is easily intelligent to act unilaterally within the union [1].

Internal Supply Chain Management (SCM) Integration for Long-Term Competitiveness | Chapter 1 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 7

 Economic growth can be sustained if a country can remain competitive over time. As a result, Malaysia's government has implemented the Economic Transformation Program (ETP) to assure the country's long-term economic growth. It is widely known that a number of elements have a role in achieving long-term and sustainable economic growth. These elements are made up of internal and external supply chain management (SCM) components. External SCM components' effects on long-term and sustainable economic growth efficiency and performance have been the subject of numerous research. Only a few studies, however, have examined the impact of internal SCM components on a country's long-term and sustainable economic growth. As a result, the findings of a study conducted to determine the factors that influence internal SCM performance in terms of long-term competitiveness and economic growth are presented in this article. Interviews were conducted to obtain the perspectives of 192 electrical and electronics (E& E) manufacturers on the role of internal SCM variables in achieving long-term and sustainable economic success. Instead of looking at the full supply chain's channel participants, the study focuses entirely on the manufacturer's point of view and opinions. The findings show how internal SCM factors were incorporated in the Malaysian E&E business and how they may be improved for long-term competitiveness. This study adds to our knowledge of internal SCM integration and its impact on long-term profitability.

Strengthening Competitiveness of Multinationals through Relocation of Production to Asia: An Advance Study | Chapter 5 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 10

 This article investigates whether there is a strategic opportunity for a company producing products labeled "Made in Germany" to relocate production to Asia while retaining German engineering. This article focuses on the current market situations of several multinational corporations headquartered in Germany, which are facing increased competition from Asia due to disadvantages in product price, delivery costs, and transportation time caused by a non-adaptive and non-future oriented sourcing concept. Respondents from Asia were polled in an empirical research study about their willingness to accept the price of a 'Made in Germany' product, the importance of price, and their willingness to accept the price of a 'Made in Germany' product. opinion on delivery issues, as well as their acceptance of Asian local production A total of N = 636 (100.0 percent) responses were collected, with Asia accounting for n = 108 (17.0 percent). The findings are aimed at strategic management in German companies that can gain competitiveness by shifting production to Asia while keeping long-term requirements in mind. The study's findings suggest that the fundamental strategy of combining German engineering with local production in Asia is one worth pursuing in light of future market conditions. The findings also indicate that the current sourcing strategies of German multinationals may be incorrect and, as a result, require modification.

International Competition Enhance Capacity Utilisation: The Evidence from Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam | Chapter 8 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 11

 Using firm-level data from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, this research investigates the relationship between capacity utilisation and international market rivalry, exploring for the prospect of efficient businesses self-selecting rather than learning-by-exporting to enter foreign markets. Capacity utilisation has evolved as a justification for these fleeting productivity gains. According to both linear and quadratic models calculated on an uneven variance of exporting and non-exporting companies, the influence of foreign market rivalry on capacity utilisation follows a curvilinear relationship with a diminishing marginal point as a limitation for further expansion. The non-exporting group's greater capacity utilisation rate not only demonstrates a strong domestic business orientation of enterprises in general, but it also suggests that exporter SMEs in these nations have chosen the learning-by-exporting entrance approach. The impact of firm and industry physiognomies on capacity utilisation is investigated further in the article, which discovers that wage productivity, competition, company size, and legal structure all have linearly positive and capacity-based effects. The findings continuously stress the relevance of abilities, competitiveness, and institutional performance in encouraging the development of SMEs.

Leadership as a Mediator of Learning Organization, Technology and Innovation Influencing Competitiveness of Thai Exporting Business | Chapter 3 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 9

 The goal of this mixed methods study was to look into the function of leadership in conveying the impact of learning organizations, technology, and innovation on Thai exporters' competitiveness. In quantitative research, a structured and tested questionnaire was employed as a tool. The sample consisted of 110 exporting companies chosen at random among 1,723 Thai exporting companies using stratified random sampling. The findings revealed that leadership acted as a partial mediator in the transmission function. It was also discovered that leadership has a direct impact on a company's competitiveness. Technology and innovation were important antecedents of competitiveness since they had a large direct and indirect impact on the outcome variable. All of the respondents praised learning efforts and had worked to transform their companies into learning organizations in order to gain a competitive advantage. Business survival also necessitated the use of modern technology and innovation. Organizational culture, social capital, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and life-long education were among the hidden variables highlighted by key informants through in-depth interviews and were investigated further throughout this study.
