Faced with chaotic environments, it is not possible to make totally efficient forecasts, especially when it is necessary to analyze events with multiple variables and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) constantly face events that escape the laws of the market. The handling that has been given to the crisis caused by the coronavirus has been trial and error, and the economic, social, and environmental results remain to be seen. The markets and the world are chaotic. With the markets in chaos due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to look at the methods used in these environments to promote business success. The Handbook of Research on Management Techniques and Sustainability Strategies for Handling Disruptive Situations in Corporate Settings elaborates on the skills, techniques, and tools that are more useful for these environments and identifies what makes companies that work well in organizational chaos and in chaotic economic environments perform better than companies that are well organized. Covering topics such as strategic management, multidimensional chaos approach, and the global unstable market, this book is essential for managers, executives, academicians, policymakers, entrepreneurs, researchers, undergraduate and graduate business students, and any person interested in state-of-the-art business issues.

La importancia de la innovación como factor de supervivencia y competitividad es incuestionable en el mundo empresarial. Sin embargo, la gran mayoría de las empresas españolas presentan un tamaño reducido, sin departamento específico de I+D y compiten en sectores de intensidad tecnológica media o baja, por lo que no incluyen la gestión de la innovación y la tecnología entre sus actividades cotidianas. Este libro combina el rigor conceptual y los análisis empíricos con una exposición ágil, clara y ejemplificada de lo que debería ser la innovación en una Pyme. Con este objetivo, el texto se organiza en tres capítulos en los que se trata, primero, la importancia de la innovación para la empresa y la sociedad; segundo, el proceso de innovación particularizando esta actividad en las pequeñas y medianas empresas y, finalmente, muestra los pasos básicos necesarios para gestionar la innovación, proporcionando un conjunto de herramientas que facilitan la implantación de las distintas etapas de gestión. Las técnicas y modelos de gestión expuestos son aplicables a empresas de distintos tamaños y sectores, con un nivel de formalización y desarrollo que puede variar de unas empresas a otras, pero en cualquier caso resultan imprescindibles para conseguir una mayor flexibilidad y adaptación a los cambios, gestionándolos de forma organizada y sistemática. De esta forma, los autores fundamentan la importancia de la innovación y la implantación de su gestión contribuyendo a crear las condiciones favorables para mejorar la competitividad de nuestro tejido empresarial.
