This book examines businesses under crisis conditions through a composition of contextual accounts. The Editors argue that crises are transformative, evolutionary and even revolutionary in the development of organizations, industries and markets. Moreover, crises reform the context in which organizations operate, including customers and their behaviour. As such, they need to be viewed as conduits to change, accelerators of evolution and catalysts of innovation in organizations. Emphasising the importance of ‘context’ and its complexities, the book argues that for crisis, as a concept and notion, context is crucial to any understanding of the meaning that should or could be attached to it. Drawing on different types of changes and crises that substantially affect business, including economic, technological, political, and environmental, chapters Bringing together scientific research and case studies on contextual transformations, the book provides a balanced selection ofworks across business disciplines, including management, strategy, marketing and finance as well as geographic regions, market types and industries. The book examines the context of crises, its indicators and triggers, and encompasses topics such as Artificial Intelligence, e-mobility, changes in consumption patterns, militancy and the impact of pandemics.

This book, a special publication in the Series, is a comprehensive exploration of business adaptation and evolution in times of global uncertainty. Compiled from the finest papers presented at the 16th Annual Euromed Academy of Business (EMAB) Conference on business transformation in uncertain global environments, this volume delves into the intricate interplay between businesses and the challenges posed by an uncertain global landscape. The book spotlights organizational responses to changes, complexity, and critical events. Drawing inspiration from the conference theme, the chapters present an understanding that crises are not mere obstacles but rather catalysts for transformation and evolution in organizational development, industries, and markets.  Navigating beyond the acknowledgment of crises as transformative agents, contributors examine the intricate mechanisms, characteristics, effects, and motivations driving change. Recognizing the diverse landscape of organizations, industries, and markets, the book offers scientific insights into the adaptability of organizations in turbulent and critical conditions. From Multinational Corporations (MNCs) to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), family enterprises, and start-ups, chapters encompass a spectrum of organizations, contributing to a nuanced understanding of adaptability. In line with previous volumes, the book provides descriptive and prescriptive research, offering solid empirical and conceptual scientific accounts. With a commitment to advancing knowledge, it is an essential resource for researchers in management, strategy, marketing, and economics/finance, and provides theoretical elucidations and practicable insights for executives and industries alike.

This edited collection – the first of a two volume work – explores how businesses react and adapt to turbulent business environments. Compiled from the best papers presented at the 17th Annual Euromed Academy of Business (EMAB) Conference, it argues that turbulence and its constituent crises are not just challenging situations for businesses, but are also agents of transformation and evolution in the development of organizations, industries, and markets. With perspectives from across the field of business, Volume 1 places special emphasis on strategic, management and marketing adaptations, and presents the evolutionary direction of an array of organisational typologies across industries and regions, covering Multinational Corporations (MNCs), Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), family, and start-up companies.
