to, inclusive business models, social entrepreneurship, child poverty, human
rights, regional challenges, leadership challenges faced by multinational enterprises,
SMEs, civil society organizations, marginalized/indigenous communities and public
policy issues. Also to be addressed in this volume are management educations
responses to these challenges.
Book 2 will
be collection of innovative teaching and program/module ideas to help faculty

legitimacy of poverty as an important management education topic in their
institutions. A more detailed call for
papers for Book 2 will be disseminated in October 2013.
