Assertiveness is a philosophy of life and a way of conducting business founded on respect and consideration towards others. Relationships based on trust, respect, openness, and sincerity can be forged through assertiveness. This timely work delves into the intricacies of assertiveness and its profound impact on personal and business competitiveness, within the context of emerging and developing countries. In an era marked by globalisation, cultural diversity, and rapidly evolving business landscapes, assertiveness has emerged as a critical skill. This book explores how assertiveness can be harnessed to enhance competitiveness, organisational culture, and professional growth in regions experiencing dynamic economic changes.
The book’s scope, the theoretical and methodological foundations, the populations targeted, the managerial implications, and the valuable and diverse approaches will appeal to researchers and academics, upper-level postgraduate students, and leaders from private, public, and third-sector companies.
