Amdani’s initial textile plant there did well, and his company went on to expand into new territories. Today GK Global has a presence in developing nations around the world and operates in the textile, lifestyle, technology, agriculture, and real estate industries.In his book, Amdani shares his story of creating sustainable businesses, using strategies he’s developed over the years. He explains the programs GK Global has implemented to reduce migration levels. Its nonprofit branch, GK Foundation, focuses on helping vulnerable populations around the globe. The chapters include takeaways to help anyone interested in developing countries to get started the right way.

    Manager by Chance is the survival manual for every manager whose antidote to the complexities of corporate life is a smile.
In the midst of revolutionary great resignation, quiet quitting, talent recession, smart working and short weeks, phenomena that reshape the conception of work and mark our time, with humor and sagacity the author tackles corporate dynamics as Sherlock Holmes solves a case, lifting the Mayan veil and shamelessly bringing to light corporate idiosyncrasies.
Through her we discover that archetypes are alive and well and are our office companions, with their tics, their humanity, their weaknesses and their grandeur. A microcosm in the macrocosm of life that reveals so much about ourselves as human beings.
Manager by Chance. A Guide to Survival in Business is a whisper to the conscientious, peaceful revolution of the manager, sitting in for a peaceful life even within the four corporate walls.
In 2023 the book won the First Italian National Philosophy Prize in the Philosophical Practices section.
