This book shows how managers at all levels of the company can master the challenges of sustainable corporate management with confidence. Concrete action plans are presented for this purpose. Climate change and the finite nature of natural resources are already taking their toll worldwide. A rethink towards ecological sustainability is not only urgently needed at a global level. The orientation of corporate strategies is also increasingly determined by the socio-political morals of customers and other stakeholders, where economic and socio-political interests must be in harmony with social and ecological challenges. Using the three-pillar model for sustainability (Triple Bottom Line) and further topics (such as supply chain law and ESG criteria), the author shows in a practical way how companies can successfully meet these major challenges in the long term. The key to success lies in a change in values towards ecological, social and economic sustainability that is defined and practiced at all levels of the company.

Improvement is not innovation…and innovation is essential if your aim is to survive in today's business environment. Stealing Genius lays the foundation for a dramatic, and long-overdue, shift in 21st-century strategic marketing and branding. Most executives and decision-makers are now focused on improving what they already have. They want better versions of the products and services they know about or understand. However, fixating on improvement in today's world is a dangerous path—one that ultimately leads to commoditization and irrelevance. Targeting your time, attention, and resources on innovation, by contrast, means identifying something that does not exist right now in any form—something that will create a powerful, uncopyable experience for your target customer. In order to be successful both today and in the future, you need to separate yourself from the competition by practicing the breakthrough principle of Adaptive Innovation—what Steve Miller calls Stealing Genius™. How? By delivering an experience that the competition either cannot or will not attempt to copy. This is literally impossible if you stick to what is already familiar to you, because whatever is familiar to you and your customers is likely to be familiar to your competition. You must create a new experience that is unique to you and that fosters a powerful emotional attachment with your target customer. Featuring dozens of real-life case studies from a wide range of industries, Stealing Genius outlines Miller's proven six-step process for creating an uncopyable experience. You'll learn how to:Do more than think outside the box—you'll build a new box completelyIdentify your “Moose,” the distinctive customer/client profile for which you are huntingLeverage insight from daily experience, personal heroes, and organizations outside your industry to better serve your customersFlip the competition by doing the exact opposite of what those in your industry are currently doingMaximize your strategic innovation by bringing in a Stealing Genius™ facilitatorIf you are trying to anticipate the crowd's movement, you might as well be following the crowd. Create a truly original brand experience and start pioneering in your industry by implementing the game-changing process of Stealing Genius™.

Purpose as a business philosophy has resulted in organizations struggling to make sense of what they need to do and made'purpose washing'commonplace. Identify the challenges and opportunities in the age of purpose and learn how to create authentic messaging, activate successful campaigns and asses the value that these have for key audiences. Purpose has become a leadership and managerial imperative for businesses large and small, non-profit organizations and charities. However, many businesses don't know how to clearly execute this, and the marketing and PR function of many companies struggle disproportionately as a result. This had led to an increase in cynicism and the growth of'purpose washing'. However, when purpose is created with an authentic culture, the opportunity for building brand reputation and positive customer engagement is significant. Truth Be Told will help readers understand exactly how to achieve this and present the core truths of their company or organization, to drive clear, authentic purpose powered communication.

Strategies of enterprises evolve with the development of strategic management theory and new concepts, models, and outlooks that emerge with it. The concept of ambidexterity is a relatively new approach to business development strategies, which involves simultaneous exploration and exploitation activities to ensure the success of the company and a relatively sustainable competitive advantage. This begs the question as to whether the ambidextrous strategy is the right choice for all enterprises, and if not, what determines its choice. This book identifies and systematizes antecedents for choosing ambidextrous strategy, including factors related to the uncertainty of the environment, its dynamics, complexity, and unpredictability, intra-organizational factors, those related to resources, organizational structure, and behavioral context, as well as those related to strategic leadership. It examines the outcomes of implementing ambidexterity from the perspective of financial and market performance and assesses the choices of companies operating in Poland from the perspective of the impact that particular antecedents had and the outcomes achieved, providing knowledge and guidance on the circumstances in which choosing the ambidextrous strategy brings the best results. The book presents the research findings to date, the cognitive gaps that still exist, and the directions for further research. It is intended for scientific circles, doctoral and management students and a wide range of managers, who have to make difficult strategic choices aimed, on the one hand, at increasing the efficiency of the company and, on the other, at seeking new paths of growth.
