Previous research had already established that sustainable destination outcomes can be realized when stakeholders engage in tourism destination management, yet the state of the needed engagement is still seen as problematic. It is evident that some change is required to enable behavioral change that will awaken a progress. Thus, new knowledge is needed to help advance this important destination management field. The aim of this exploratory case study was to present a new perspective which is underpinned by theories in the leadership and leadership development fields. The case study findings show that tourism-based leadership programs have the capacity to foster development of collective leadership capacity, which is needed to build the effective stakeholder networks that drive change at workplace, tourism destination, and community levels. The study suggests that sustainable development goals and sustained competitive advantage are developed through the bundle of collective leadership capacity and stakeholder causal scope.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development intends to improve efforts of governments, societies, and companies to deal with major social and environmental problems affecting contemporary societies. From a business perspective, companies can find a propulsive boost of innovation looking at different models of production and use of services/products. This new perspective is radically changing the ways companies and consumers interact, and the role of companies in supporting the achievement of SDGs through service innovation is becoming pervasive. In addition, the emerging digital economy represents a great opportunity opening up to sustainability-oriented service innovation and firms are developing their competitive advantage based on the introduction of new digital business models. This chapter explores this issue through an explorative case study based on the MyTaxi business model. Implications for managers and researchers and opportunities for future research are highlighted.

In this multisite case study, we examine the personal capacities of six high school principals who have developed the leadership capacities of other leaders in their respective schools. Participants were purposefully selected by two teams of researchers in two states of the United States, one on the east coast and one on the west coast, who engaged their professional networks of current and former educational leaders to obtain recommendations of high school principals known to develop the leadership capacities of formal and informal leaders in their schools. The findings indicate that the principals possessed a strong commitment to developing leadership capacity, understood leadership development as a process and tolerated risk. This study adds to the rapidly growing corpus of literature focused on distributed leaders by illustrating the complexities of developing leadership capacity in an attempt to increase organizational leadership capacity, and by highlighting the relevant characteristics of principals who have intentionally sought to do so.


It is urgent to invest heavily on them for their quality education and effective leadership for economic, environmental and social gains. Based on understanding the importance of the youth, this study explores the perception of youth in Dhaka city about leadership, their needs for developing their leadership capacity and focus on their key priorities that they want to work on. Researcher hopes that the findings of this study would have important implications for youth related policies and programmes.

The period of coronavirus disease pandemic caused new challenges in leadership development and reflected transition to collective leadership as the most effective method. Because (emotional) unity of the corporate team (which is practically realized in collective leadership) is a primary factor for overcoming the crisis, human resources will be saved as much as possible in this context. The use of emotional intelligence tools and organizational leadership development becomes highly relevant. The emphasis is placed on the fact that organizations’ adaptive, innovative activities and online work lead to new trends in the leadership development paradigm. However, most managers are not ready to apply them. The case study of an educational organization shows numerical indicators of the emotional intelligence levels of managers and essential characteristics of their emotional literacy. It is found out that less than half of managers can ensure employees’ psychological safety with the help of emotional intelligence. It is emphasized that leaders can quickly change the climate of their teams and have the most significant impact on the psychological security of organizations. Leadership development can bring additional dividends in times of instability. So coronavirus disease pandemic increases management decentralization trends.

Abstract Laser Voltage Imaging (LVI) is a new application developed from Laser Voltage Probing (LVP). Most LVP applications have focused on design debug or design characterization, and are seldom used for global functional failure analysis. LVI enables the failure analysis engineer to utilize laser probing techniques in the failure analysis realm. In this paper, we present LVI as an emerging FA technique. We will discuss setting up an LVI acquisition and present its current challenges. Finally, we will present an LVI application in the form of a case study.
