This edited book is the second in the book series ¿Managing the Post-Colony¿. The book series is co-edited by Nimruji Jammulamadaka (IIM Calcutta, India) and Gavin Jack (Monash University, Australia). The book series seeks to present cutting-edge, critical, interdisciplinary, and geographically and culturally diverse perspectives on the contemporary nature, experience, and theorisation of managing and organising under conditions of postcoloniality.This book specifically presents voices and perspectives from Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and The Pacific, locations with shared and distinctive histories and present-day experiences of colonisation and imperialism. Ways of managing, organising, and doing business in these places demonstrate cultural continuity and change in such histories, present sites of postcolonial struggle, and diverse prospects for self-determined future-making. The book explores struggles and prospects of managing in the post-colony through qualitative empirical cases, historical and legal studies, conceptual essays and provocations, and interviews with Indigenous business leaders. It contributes to the ongoing diversification, provincialisation, and decolonisation of management and organisation studies and practice. A strong focus is placed on diverse Indigenous knowledges and experiences, including those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Pasifika, and M¿ori peoples, and insights into the capacity for Indigenous culture-specific modes of business to offer decolonising futures.

This book examines the digitalization of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia and its challenges in the context of an emerging economy and the Covid-19 crisis. During the Covid-19 pandemic, business digitalization became a must for a business to avoid collapse and people saw that digital transformation is a panacea for SMEs to help them survive and revive from the crises. Governments and other stakeholders in many countries including Indonesia have launched policies and programs to support SMEs. Transforming SMEs' conventional businesses into digitalized versions, however, is a complex issue influenced by various factors. These factors encompass both internal changes within the organization and external dynamics in the ecosystem in which they operate. This book, therefore, is a new approach towards understanding the digitalization of SMEs in Indonesia and includes contributions from scholars with different, multi-disciplinary perspectives and demonstrates that digital transformation of SMEs is not all about technology adoption but also involves other aspects such as social, economic, and public governance factors. It discusses opportunities and challenges of digital transformation of SMEs in Indonesia, such as digital talent, financial inclusion, platform capitalism, automation, government¿s role, governance, open competition, and inclusive digital economy. The book is of interest to researchers and students of social economics, SMEs and entrepreneurship, human capital research, and economy and governance.¿

The entrepreneur Time magazine called "the Bad Boy of banking" is back with crucial insights about the importance of business culture in a dizzyingly complex global marketplace. In business, breaking rules is easy. What's really hard is what comes next: building the right company culture -- the lifeblood of effective leadership. In a complex, 24-7 globalized marketplace, how do you answer the question "Who are we?" Culture-driven leadership is as much about the why as the how. Long-term and short-term. Reacting and reflecting. It means identifying, creating, and sustaining a company culture. For a culture-driven leader, spending time "above the clouds," or finding the sweet spot of perspective, can make all the difference. Entrepreneur and pioneering financial services CEO Arkadi Kuhlmann offers a seasoned antidote to navigating blind through our increasingly competitive landscape. Drawing on ten key principles from his time at ING Direct and his many years' experience on the front lines of innovative customer-focused leadership, Kuhlmann explores real-world leadership challenges and both the bullseyes and missteps of Disney's Robert Iger and Starbucks's Howard Schultz, as well as Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and others. Kuhlmann makes a compelling case for how leaders can use the right culture to meet the formidable challenges that lie ahead. In the end, it's about making leadership count. And making a difference.

Each life a legacy - lead on purpose! Idea-rich strategies for 'serious' leaders "Our life and work are a portrait of who we are - autograph them both with style!" Anonymous The tapestry of our lives is inter-woven with the lives and enriched with the ideas of those we connect with daily. Whether we realize it or not, our life leaves a legacy. The stories of our leadership, and activities become a living legend. "People will talk about you - why not give them something positive to say?" Bob HooeyPeople we know, work, or live with, have a lasting impression based on their personal experience with us. Why is it then that we wait until they are gone or have moved on to acknowledge the important people in our life? Life is a continuous choice... choose wisely! I have lived in the country north-east of Edmonton, Alberta for 23 years now. It is a quiet, rustic, creative type of life; a place for me to write and prepare as I still travel to present around the world. Driving the rural roads, I see dilapidated, boarded-up buildings, vacant stores, gas stations, and shops that once housed thriving businesses, stores, entrepreneurial dreams that profitably served their communities and customers. I wonder, what happened? · Did the business thrive and move to a better location? Did they neglect their clients? Did the market leave them behind?· Did it miss the changes in client needs and slowly die? · Did their competition do a better job? · Did they fall behind in technology? Service? Products?· Did their clients desert them? What makes the difference? I see thriving, prosperous businesses, in attractive, well-lit buildings; well-stocked and open for business to profitably serve both their clients and their communities. What legacy is being told of you and your team every day? When you're done, what leadership legacy would you like to leave behind? What are they saying about you right now? What picture would you like your team, your clients, and the community to see and remember about your contributions and work? What would be the ultimate comment or testimonial on your life and contributions in pioneering and living life as an adventure? Why not leave a lasting legacy; a history of strong dynamic leadership that has contributed in a positive way? A legacy of leadership that has engaged, inspired, challenged, and cared for the many you led. Once we understand that we do leave a legacy of leadership behind, we can make a conscious choice to ensure it is a positive one. We can choose to invest our time, resources, and energies in those activities and organizations that create lasting value; as well as in the lives of those we love and respect. As 'serious' leaders we have that opportunity to invest in the lives and success of those we lead. This investment can leave a lasting legacy in their lives and the lives of those they touch.
