Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Ali Abou Abbas Publishes New Book
9 September 2026
Behind every strong business education is a faculty that brings more than academic knowledge to the classroom. It is the experience, research, and global perspectives of accomplished academics that give students a closer look at how business really works beyond the theory. Amongst the Plekhanov University faculty who continue to exemplify this caliber is Associate Professor Dr. Ali Abou Abbas, who recently published his book Mastering the Modern Enterprise: A Practical Guide to Vision, Leadership, and Sustainable Growth .
Dr. Ali is no stranger to high-level authorship. Earlier this year, he published a study in Springer’s Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME 2026) , following his 2025 book, Strategic Planning for Small and Medium Enterprises: A Road Map for Success . His latest work brings that experience back to a question at the heart of every ambitious enterprise: what does it really take to build a business that lasts?
The answer, as the book explores, is rarely one strategy or skill in isolation. Sustainable businesses are built by connecting vision with planning, marketing with finance, people with leadership, and agility with the realities of an increasingly AI-driven business environment. Drawing on 25 years of experience across project management, consulting, and academia, Dr. Ali brings these pieces together into a practical framework for founders, managers, executives, and aspiring business leaders.
For students preparing to lead in the modern business ecosystem, learning from academics who actively contribute to the field is a valuable part of the Plekhanov student experience. We are proud to see our faculty continue to research, write, and shape the ideas that tomorrow’s business leaders will put into practice.
