Introduction

Amidst the growing changes and apparent turbulence in the economic and business landscape, this book will provide a recipe for cushioning businesses against turbulence. This will enable businesses to remain resilient and value driven in the midst of contemporary developments that challenge business stability (environmental sustainability, burgeoning technological expansion such as artificial intelligence and diversity issues). The book will elucidate how these challenges constitute an obscure formula for growing the value of business.

Objective

This book will highly and positively impact a new thinking and approach for business sustainable value growth and attendant new slants in the business research community as it will provide a normative and novel framework. The framework will ensue from the weaving together of three most challenging issues in modern economic and business environment, namely diversity, artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability. It will, therefore, untangle with practical illustrations how these three elements of the modern environment provide the recipe for business survival and growth. Accordingly, the book will provide a new research and business growth strategy framework.
