Now on download! The winter edition of Global Voice magazine #31: Time to See the Light

Welcome to this Winter issue of Global Voice magazine #31! As the title suggests, it’s time to see the light – among the dark and grey of our long winter days, the light of knowledge that opens up awareness and understanding, and why not – the bright beam that lifts the gaze of business leaders and economists from short- to long-term vision for the benefit of the common good.

This end-of-year of Global Voice magazine on free download offers you 114 pages of research-based insights and practitioner contributions from 27 faculty and practitioners.

Our Management & Leadership section features articles on performance and remote working, accounting and popular culture, HRM practice in BRICS, the role of marketing in business models, and a focus on ethics & compliance in Brazil.

The Business & Society section includes a dive into the lives of social entrepreneurs, a focus on the future of humanitarian operations, trends in philanthropy, and finally an exploration of human unpredictability and its pros and cons for teams and management.

And lastly, our Sustainability & the SDGs section looks at how to achieve net zero, empowering youth with disabilities for the job market, tech and how it improves the lives of tea workers in Assam, the cost of living crisis in Kenya, and a spotlight on an innovative portal that offers free sustainability learning content for businesses, practitioners and everyone interested in advancing the SDGs.

Enjoy your reading and wishing all of you – our readers – a peaceful and prosperous end to 2024 and a Happy New Year 2025!
