The relationship between present needs and future imperatives defines our contemporary challenges, especially within the realms of societal aspirations, business enterprises, startups, and SMEs. The dynamic nature of today's entrepreneurial landscape, characterized by ceaseless challenges and constant change, underscores the urgency to align strategies with the imperatives of sustainable development. Sustainable Partnership and Investment Strategies for Startups and SMEs examines this issue and the intersection between sustainable development and the practical nuances of navigating the modern entrepreneurial landscape. The book serves as a comprehensive scholarly source, providing in-depth insights into the challenges of formulating strategies for ventures within the framework of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From 'no poverty' to 'Partnerships for the Goals,' it scrutinizes the latest research, theoretical frameworks, and powerful approaches that lie at the heart of sustainable and responsible entrepreneurship. Against the backdrop of a constantly evolving world, the objective of the book comes to the forefront. Today's business and entrepreneurial practices grapple with an ever-changing environment, demanding contemporary and flexible business and investment strategies. Focusing on a select set of SDGs is not just a strategic imperative but a requirement for societal well-being and enduring business success.

Handbook of Research on the Strategic Management of Family Businesses
Jesús Manuel Palma-Ruiz
The literature on family business has developed significantly over the last years. However, efforts remain to summarize and systematize the main aspects that affect the behavior of this type of company. In this regard, the topic of strategic management has been developed. In this sense, it is especially important to recognize how the family decisively influences the behavior of the company and also to identify how the existence of the company affects family dynamics. Those who manage family businesses, whether family or not, must reconcile both perspectives (business and family) in the definition of strategic objectives, allowing sustainability and continuity in this type of organization. Challenges and Opportunities for the Strategic Management of Family Businesses provides emerging research that covers how strategic management in the family business has been developed and identifies the objectives that sustain this strategic behavior, the main areas of analysis (family and business), the definition of strategies, and their implementation. Also, the authors of this book review the different scenarios for family firms and propose strategies to tackle the challenges and seize the possibilities to grow in a competitive and dynamic environment. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as human capital, organizational leadership, and knowledge creation, this book is ideally designed for family firms, managers, advisors, consultants, policymakers, business professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, researchers, academicians, and students.

Handbook of Research on Increasing the Competitiveness of SMEs
Rafael Perez-Uribe
Countries have been competing against each other in order to attract financial investment and human capital for decades.

The Handbook of Research on Increasing the Competitiveness of SMEs provides innovative insights on integrating, adapting, and building models and strategies compatible with the development of competitiveness in small and medium enterprises in emerging countries. The content within this publication examines quality management, organizational leadership, and digital security. It is designed for policymakers, entrepreneurs, managers, executives, business professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.
