The journey towards the future of work was greatly accelerated due to the COVID pandemic. Some changes have altered the functioning of the business world forever. Against the backdrop of these alterations, variations, and modifications, this book presents and analyzes three crucial factors: work, workforce, and workplace and their transformation into new-age organizations for meeting its customer expectations and long-term strategic goals. Companies must focus on ways of deployment of policies and practices that meet the business needs from the perspective of external changes. To achieve this goal, the organizations must realign their stakeholders and indulge in critical thinking by looking deeply into factors responsible for bringing about this transformational change. Re-envisioning is the current critical need for organizations to thrive; they must incorporate best practices to beat the competition and add value to their existing HR processes. This book clearly presents the practices and policies of successful organizations through the contribution of industry leaders. This book helps you understand the dynamism of work, workforce, and workplace that exist in organizations (as well as the challenges these organizations face) and their impact on business practices. The authors cover these broad areas because of the need to diversify and promote organic inclusive growth. Essentially, re-envisioning our organizations is the new normal. Organizations must leave the shackles of what might have been and look to what they can be. Stakeholders, employees, and the environment have been drastically altered, and organizations must change accordingly to survive. What now matters is how much an organization re-envisions itself and how it deals with all that is happening.

This book examines how entrepreneurship can be used as a tool to escape poverty. With relevance for both SDG 1: ‘No Poverty,’ and SDG 8: ‘Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all,’ it pays special attention to women and minority ethnic groups. Offering a fresh perspective on entrepreneurship as a means of upward social mobility and rooted in research, the book explores the issue in three ways. Firstly, it pays special attention to the nexus between the entrepreneur, resources, institutions, opportunities, necessities, and the environment for drawing a comprehensive picture of how individuals could use entrepreneurship for successful upward social mobility in a changing world. Secondly, it emphasizes the peculiar challenges that female entrepreneurs face, how those challenges can be overcome, and how female entrepreneurship may be a route to women’s socio-economic advancement. Thirdly, it highlights the challenges faced by ethnic minority business owners and how such ethnic minority businesses could thrive amid institutional voids as well as direct and indirect forms of discrimination.
