<i>‘The book </i>Strategic Response to Turbulence: Lessons from Real Shocks <i>co-edited by Karol M. Klimczak and Yochanan Shachmurove is a seminal work that catalogues strategic responses of a diverse range of industries across the globe to recent economic shocks and upheavals. It offers a comprehensive and inclusive analysis that spans multiple sectors and geographical regions, providing a rich tapestry of insights that are both practical and theoretically profound.</i><p></p>

In concrete settings, the editors and the contributors study how businesses worldwide have adapted their strategies in response to recent disruptions like pandemics, economic fluctuations, and geopolitical upheavals. The international scope of the book is commendable. It incorporates case studies from North Africa, Europe, Africa, and Asia, each contributing unique perspectives on managing strategic changes and fostering resilience. This global viewpoint is crucial for understanding the interconnected nature of modern economies and the widespread impacts of global shocks. I recommend this book to researchers, policy makers, executives at all levels of the organization, and students looking for a comprehensive resource on strategic management and innovation.’

<i>‘The book </i>Strategic Response to Turbulence: Lessons from Real Shocks<i>, co-edited by Karol Klimczak and my former student, Yochanan Shachmurove, focuses on how companies adapt their strategies to global disruption. The book stresses the need for flexible and forward-looking approaches to managing unpredictable economic environments.</i>

In the book, the editors examine strategic responses to both acute and chronic crises, including economic disruptions following geopolitical events as well as responses to climate change and energy volatility. The book details management decisions and strategic adaptations to external threats, emphasizing the need for effective policy responses. Importantly, the authors emphasize the role of strategic planning, constructing an array of possible eventualities based on forming rules rather than ad hoc discretion. I highly recommend this book to researchers, academicians, policy makers, and chief executive officers interested in coherent responses to market dynamics and turbulence.'
