Islamic Microfinance
Islamic microfinance is one of the most important sectors of Islamic social finance, which plays a very important role in curbing poverty and improving the standard of living, per capita income, employment level as well as achieving Maqasid al-Shariah, profitability and sustainability. This role of Islamic microfinance has become more crucial in the pandemic period. It has been clearly witnessed in developing countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, how Islamic microfinance institutions helped deprived and affected communities during the pandemic. Another important development during the pandemic was the introduction of blended models of Islamic microfinance such as waqf-based Islamic microfinance, a zakat-based model and the combination of Islamic commercial and social finance. Islamic microfinance institutions also aim to harness the power of digitalization and fintech, but they need to consider the necessary success factors to realize and gain the real benefits of technology. There are some major challenges related to regulations, management issues, lack of skilled human resources, a wide digital divide and low level of financial literacy in developing countries. These challenges need to be addressed to ensure stability, steady growth and sustainability in the sector. This book is a compendium on Islamic microfinance, including case studies from seven jurisdictions and prospects for the sector. The book will be a major contribution to the literature of Islamic economics and finance and a guide of equal importance for students, academics, institutions, regulators, fintechs, policy makers and the general public.

Free Markets with Sustainability and Solidarity
We live in times of economic change and challenges, as reports of the increasing concentration of wealth with "the 1%" and stagnating wages compete for headlines with new and contentious politics of austerity. Public discourse has become fractured not only along class lines but ideologically, with advocates of "economic freedom" and "sustainability" locked in seemingly intractable conflict. Managers, business people, and teachers of economics are increasingly aware that they simply cannot go back to the "business as usual" of the pre-Great Recession economy, but that does not explain what should be done.In this situation, Catholic Social Teaching makes a contribution to maintaining the social balance in a changing society. Far from only proposing a narrow set of divisive limitations, Catholic teaching has articulated a framework of religiously-inspired ideals (particularly solidarity) that can assist our changing culture in addressing some of its most important questions-but only if they are applied creatively by scholars who understand the complexity of the current system. To reaffirm capitalism and the free market without dodging questions of social responsibility, we need a serious and academic reflection on the creation of sustainable and shared value, and on the contribution of business to the living fabric of society of which it constitutes a part.The contributors to Free Markets with Sustainability and Solidarity, who represent a unique combination of European and American scholars, present their reflections on evolving forms of economics. All are unified by a holistic, Christian anthropology, from which they draw epistemological consequences for free markets and a free society.
Inspire Responsibly
Aspirational talk has gained increasing research attention as a compelling concept theoretically explaining the potential of talk-action discrepancies in corporate responsibility communication to instigate organizational change. Under certain conditions, aspirational talk can facilitate discourse, agreement, reframing, and corporate reflexivity. However, perceived talk-action discrepancies can negatively affect organizational members, leading to disengagement, and demotivation, causing emotional exhaustion, exposing employees to vulnerabilities, and even catalyzing unethical or illicit behaviors. Thus, this book focuses on how aspirational talk becomes irresponsible in an organizational context, and how it can be avoided. The author proposes that aspirational talk becomes irresponsible if it creates expectations that lead to illegitimate harm to employees or involved stakeholders. A framework is derived, constituting the finding that it takes two types of investments into performativity and responsibility conditions, to avoid the irresponsible use of aspirational talk - and thus, to inspire responsibly.
The Professional Project Manager
How do we become good project managers? What does it take to become a true professional?This book gives depth to these crucial questions.

The book shows that our professional capacity is so much more than our technical abilities and shows that becoming a true professional today is defined by three key factors: Our ability to accumulate relevant professional reference points and contexts.Our ability to juggle technical, people, power, and unforeseen professional agendas.Our ability to memorize our experiences in useful mental models.The world will end up having around 8 billion professionals, which means that more than 150,000 new professionals will enter the workforce every day for the next 75 years. This will dramatically change our professional context.This book is for everyone who wants to sharpen their professional skills and mental models to stay relevant.

International Investment and Dispute Settlement
This book analyzes the dispute settlement mechanisms under the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI), including the already established mechanisms for general state-to-state dispute settlement and the Mechanism to Address Differences for investment and sustainable development issues.When China and the EU, two of the biggest players in international investment, announced the completion of the China-European Union CAI negotiations, the dispute settlement system remained incomplete.

This book explores the possible procedural design of investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms under the EU-China CAI, including potential proposals, issues, and solutions. In addition, this work analyzes the separation, connection, and combination of state-to-state and investor-state dispute settlement, all with a mind to ensuring the function and operation of diverse mechanisms and establishing a comprehensive system for successful investment dispute settlement.Focusing on the complete dispute settlement system under the EU-China CAI, this book will be a valuable resource for students, academics, and policymakers working in the areas of international dispute resolution, international investment law, international economic law, and comparative law.

How To Manage Your Money
However, if you will pardon us, we are about to engage in some philosophical discussion. Many try to soothe themselves by saying that "money doesn't buy happiness." Still, the fact of the matter is that having money is one of the fundamental necessities for existence, so you can't eliminate it from the equation. To add insult to injury, having money will give you more significant resources, allow you to live a more comfortable life, and explore various possibilities. Even if it is impossible to purchase happiness with money, acquiring the happiness you seek is essential. It is impossible to experience joy while you are anxious about making payments on your rent or a credit card account that is already past its due date.It is of the utmost importance to equip adolescents with the knowledge and abilities essential for prudent financial management in a world rife with financial commitments and temptations.

A New Water Future
Just as cities and nations face the challenge of providing clean water to their citizens and their economies, a new opportunity has finally been constructed that can fix these challenges. This is a time-sensitive opportunity, and this book is provided to help you move forward. AQUEOUS International, Inc. has developed this over the past 30 years with global research and the concept developments of new technologies that lower costs and provide extraordinary water for global demand. AQUEOUS International, Inc. is providing this book to the world offering not only water but exceptionally clean natural glacial water from one of the largest hydrologic systems on this earth. In addition, other sources have been found in areas of the Atlantic, that can dramatically fix water demands in those markets.Yes, the book is long and very detailed, but it provides essential knowledge including both economic and ecologic understanding for those willing to step forward and help rebuild their communities (both people and economies) in desperate need of more cost-responsive clean renewable freshwater.We address all existing technologies around the planet that are failing, including desalinization and the growing global understanding of its long-term ecological harm, and always-growing costs.We also address the huge and growing problem of pharmaceutical contaminants such as estrogen and hundreds of others, that most scientists are convinced are causing significant harm to male, pre-birth, and elderly beings with no cost-effective filtering technology to stop it. Almost every major city on earth has this and many other big pharma contaminants. In some markets that reaches over 60 contaminates in each gallon.Another way to look at this is to ask yourself, especially those who live and work in areas of the world that have been inhabited for thousands of years. "Would you rather drink pristine natural glacial water with no contaminates - some over 32, 000 years old - or groundwater that has been peed in for thousands of years.?"It is our hope that you will read all of this book and then reach out to us so that together we can quickly initiate A New Future for Water.
From Intention to Impact
How business leaders can move their DEI efforts from intention to impact through strategy and culture change. In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, corporate America has doubled down on its public intentions to be more inclusive and equitable. Yet beyond the pledges it is difficult to see which system changes make a real difference. In From Intention to Impact, Malia Lazu draws on her background as a community organizer, her corporate career as a bank president, and now her experience as a leading DEI consultant to explain what has been holding organizations back and what they need to do better. First and foremost, she recognizes that truly moving from intention to impact means targeting and changing the traditions and culture that normalize whiteness. From Intention to Impact shows what organizations, leaders, and people at all levels must do to create more inclusive environments that honor and value diversity. Lazu shares a seven-stage guide through this process as well as a 3L model of listening, learning, and loving that readers can use from the initial excitement of doing "something" to the frustration when the inevitable pushback comes, and finally to the determination to do the hard work despite the challenges--on corporate and political fronts. Most compelling, From Intention to Impact shows that, while commitment from the top is paramount, for DEI to be most effective, it needs to be decentralized--among managers, within teams, and across the organization.

Statistics for Public Policy
A long-overdue guide on how to use statistics to bring clarity, not confusion, to policy work. Statistics are an essential tool for making, evaluating, and improving public policy. Statistics for Public Policy is a crash course in wielding these unruly tools to bring maximum clarity to policy work. Former White House economist Jeremy G. Weber offers an accessible voice of experience for the challenges of this work, focusing on seven core practices: Thinking big-picture about the role of data in decisions Critically engaging with data by focusing on its origins, purpose, and generalizability Understanding the strengths and limits of the simple statistics that dominate most policy discussions Developing reasons for considering a number to be practically small or large Distinguishing correlation from causation and minor causes from major causes Communicating statistics so that they are seen, understood, and believed Maintaining credibility by being right (or at least respectably wrong) in every setting Statistics for Public Policy dispenses with the opacity and technical language that have long made this space impenetrable; instead, Weber offers an essential resource for all students and professionals working at the intersections of data and policy interventions. This book is all signal, no noise.
Return to Mindfulness
Trying to Stay Mindful in a World Full of Disruptions?Mindfulness is our innate capacity to know what it means to be present, to see clearly, and to connect with ourselves and each other so that we can make fulfilling choices. The act of returning to mindfulness should be effortless, but persistent default habits can and do get in our way. Many people successfully practice mindfulness through meditation for stress reduction but once back into daily life, the same people quickly lose momentum. The brief moments of calm just don't last or manifest themselves in changes at personal or collective levels. Shalini Bahl wants to change all that.The Missing Piece: Why "Non-Judging Awareness" Isn't EnoughMindfulness is commonly described as non-judging awareness, but when tough decisions arise, suspending judgment can confuse more than clarify. Dr. Bahl proposes that the way to be mindful in the real world beyond meditation and non-judging awareness is to foster eight mindfulness skills that disrupt habits that have been shaped by evolution and our environment. These default habits keep us rushing and reacting instead of seeing clearly and acting intentionally.A Systematic and Playful Blueprint for Real-World MindfulnessDr. Bahl doesn't just invite us to be more mindful, she shows us how. She offers a systematic yet playful blueprint for integrating mindfulness into our daily routine. Each chapter is dedicated to one mindfulness skill and includes six exercises to practice and play with during the day so we can replace default habits with mindful habits.Eight Powerful SkillsHer groundbreaking methods help dissolve the gap between meditation and real-world mindfulness through the following eight skills--Awareness when we find ourselves automatically reacting.-Compassion when we're feeling judgmental.-Curiosity when we're stuck in an echo chamber.-Mindful energy when it's uncomfortable to change old ways of thinking and acting.-Appreciative joy when negativity bias distorts our understanding of people and situations.-Inner calm when attachments get in the way of seeing clearly.-Focus when we're feeling distracted and overwhelmed.-Equanimity when impulsivity pushes us out of balance.Dr. Bahl's eight interconnected skills empower leaders to drive change without burnout or backlash, while inviting the rest of us to live, love and work with greater care.Make Mindfulness Your New NormalMake these skills your new normal in a world full of disruptions. Read this book and replace reactionary habits with responsive awareness starting now.

The Dark Side of Organizational Behavior
The Dark Side of Organizational Behavior aims to gather all the micro- and meso-level topics about the dark side of organizations that may guide management practitioners, researchers, and students. The history before the modern human civilization is full of multiple types of conflicts, wars, struggles and violence. Modernization project has constructed a desired reality of human being and has somehow concealed the dark side of human interactions. Through this outlook, this book explores the realities of the dark side of organizations and how these realities may have the potential to change previous assumptions about business life. The field of organizational behavior is dominated by the positive aspects of the business life, but conflict, war, struggle, and violence have always been a part of history. It is not possible to isolate organizational participants from negative emotions like hostility, dislike, hate, jealousy, rage and revenge. A manager may devote most of their time to cope with conflicts, deviant behaviors, ambitious individuals, gossips and dysfunctional rivalry among employees. It is evident that negative events and interactions among employees cost more time and energy for a manager than the positive side of organizational life. Therefore, exploring the realities of the dark side of organizations may have the potential to change previous assumptions about business life. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of organizational studies and behavior, human resource management, employment relations, and organizational psychology.
