Sommario/riassunto

This book explores corporate training in the context of deploying strategic initiatives within organisations. It goes beyond merely explaining strategy, to investigating how it relates to skills training, and how companies can leverage this to implement their initiatives. Drawing on real-life client examples and the inspirational stories of highly successful individuals, this book highlights approaches that have transformed organisations and re-invented training. It dispels myths that exist around traditional training paradigms and brings to light the effectiveness of new methods and approaches.

Disrupting Economics by Taking Stock of What We Know -- The Black Social Economy: Provoking an Africana Feminist Political Economy Epistemology for the World -- ROSCAs: An Antidote to Business Exclusion -- Acknowledging Caribbean Banker Ladies as Co-operators -- Canada’s Hidden Co-operatives: The Legacy of Banker Ladies in Toronto and Montreal -- Black Muslim Women Counter Business Exclusion -- The Future of Co-operation: Acknowledging Black Feminist Economics in Public Policy.

Sommario/riassunto

"All over the world, Black and racialized women engage in the solidarity economy through what is known as mutual aid financing. Formally referred to as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), these institutions are purposefully informal to support the women’s livelihoods and social needs and act to reject tiered forms of neoliberal



development. The Banker Ladies--a term coined by women in the Black diaspora--are individuals that voluntarily organize ROSCAs for self-sufficiency and are intentional in their politicized economic cooperation to counter business exclusion. Caroline Shenaz Hossein reveals how Black women redefine the banking cooperative sector to be inclusive of informal institutions that are democratic and focused on group consensus, and which build an activist form of economic cooperation that is intent on making social profitability the norm. The book examines the ways in which diasporic Black women who organize mutual aid receive little to no attention. Unapologetically biased towards a group of women who have been purposely sidelined and put down for what they do, The Banker Ladies highlights how, in order to educate oneself about their contributions to politics and economics, it is imperative to listen to the voices of hundreds of Black women in charge of financial services for their communities."--
