Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance

In today's globalized world, the challenges facing economics, management, and governance are more complex than ever before. Traditional approaches struggle to address issues such as climate change, economic inequality, and geopolitical tensions, leaving gaps in delivery and outcomes. The solution lies in harnessing the power of innovation and diplomacy to navigate these intricate challenges. Innovative and Diplomatic Methodologies in Economics, Management, and Government serves as a guide for academic scholars seeking to navigate the complexities of modern global challenges. Through a diverse array of perspectives and insights, it illuminates the synergies between diplomacy, innovation, economics, management, and government. By bridging theory and practice, the book offers actionable solutions and real-world case studies that empower scholars to adopt a more integrated and forward-thinking approach.
