Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Beyond Agile: Ein neues System der
Book SynopsisStreng hierarchische Führung oder total agile Demokratie? Die Unternehmensorganisation der Zukunft muss beides können. Wie das gelingen kann, beschreibt dieses Fachbuch ausführlich – in einem neuen Organisationsmodell, das beide Herangehensweisen situativ möglich macht. Und damit einen systemischen Brückenschlag zwischen „alter“ und „neuer“ Welt schafft. Dabei gibt das Buch einen Überblick über aktuelle Formen klassischer sowie agiler Organisationsmodelle. Es beleuchtet die Entwicklung gängiger Organisationsformen von komplexen Hierarchien über Lean und Scrum bis hin zur Holokratie. Anschließend wird das innovative Konzept beschrieben, das die besten Ansätze vereint: situativ statt festgelegt, systemisch statt hierarchisch, lateral statt vertikal. Praxisnah am Beispiel einer Unternehmensberatung und Kreativagentur, die dieses Organisationsmodell seit über sieben Jahren lebt. Das Ergebnis? Beyond Agile.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Erfolgreich Gespräche im Berufsalltag führen: Der Einfluss von Haltung, Deutungsmustern und Unterbewusstsein auf Gesprächssituationen
Book SynopsisDieses Fachbuch stellt einen praxiserprobten Kommunikationsansatz vor, der an der eigenen Haltung, bestehenden Glaubensmustern und dem Bewusstsein der unbewussten und autonomen Vorgänge ansetzt. Unbewusste biologische Vorgänge, psychologische und soziale Aspekte haben einen großen Einfluss auf den Gesprächserfolg und entscheiden teilweise sogar über das gesamte Miteinander. Gerade die Kommunikation im Arbeitsleben ist herausfordernd. Die Autorin zeigt verschiedene Ansätze und Prinzipien, die die eigene Kommunikationskompetenz fördern. Eine wichtige Rolle spielen dabei Achtsamkeit, persönliche Führung, Wissen über Vorurteile und Glaubenssätze, Vertrauen, Wertschätzung und emotionale Intelligenz. Der Gesprächspartner wird durch aufmerksames Zuhören und neugierige Fragen angeregt, eine eigene Lösung zu entwickeln und intrinsisch motiviert zu handeln. Durch die Anwendung der vorgestellten Prinzipien werden die Gespräche im beruflichen Kontext optimiert und das Miteinander verbessert, da die Gespräche zu einem lösungsorientierten Verhalten führen, dessen Ergebnisse nachhaltig umgesetzt werden. Das Erproben und Anwenden der neuen Form der Kommunikation kann dazu beitragen, dass sich Organisationen "von innen heraus" verändern und zu Lernenden Organisationen entwickeln. Wiederkehrende Beispiele aus dem beruflichen Kontext (Leistungsbeurteilungsgespräch, Onboarding, Kundengespräch, Konfliktgespräch) geben hilfreiche Hinweise für die praktische Umsetzung im Arbeitsalltag.

Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo Dynamic Capability–Based Approach to Value
Book Synopsis?Extant management literature provides a quite comprehensive picture of the dynamic nature of value creation, whereas value appropriation has received much less scholarly attention. The number of research works devoted to the complex issues of value receiving, protecting, and retaining is at the moment relatively modest, concerning both theoretical and empirical dimensions. There is a paucity of coherent theoretical frameworks providing insights into the dynamic nature of value appropriation. This book addresses the gap in the body of strategic management literature by providing a dynamic capability-based framework of value appropriation, discussed on a theoretical level and deployed in an empirical investigation.Trade Review[Marta Najda-Janoszka] combines the analysis of the firm's response to strategic discontinuities with the logic of value appropriation, and all this from the perspective of activity clusters of dynamic capabilities. However, the chosen path is different from the typical approach to disaggregation of dynamic capabilities presented in the literature. The monograph stands out by a perfectly conducted theoretical reflection, recognition of the roots of mental concepts, development trends in the literature, and the ability to capture that significant complexity in appealing schemes, which are the key points of the book. -- Wojciech Czakon

Springer Verlag, Singapore Systems Thinking for Management Consultants:
Book SynopsisThis book discusses how systems thinking and approaches can aid management consultants in navigating the complexities of client advisory in current realities. It thereby brings to the forefront aspects of holism, flexibility and responsibility - the keys to success in today’s world. Management consultants are called in to offer an independent expert view of an organisation/ a situation and are expected to address some of the most pressing problems businesses face. The client does not exist in a silo, but in a complex environment that lies at the intersection of a range of internal and external factors that are often unseen and unpredictable. The organisation itself presents an alien territory that the consultant is expected to acclimatise to within a very short period of time, and come up with solutions that “insiders” would not have been able to visualise. The book presents a range of ideas, concepts and reference cases that are relevant and topical for consultants in their daily work. It argues that systems thinking allows holism and flexibility in management consulting – while holism is about the ability to encompass the environmental and organisational complexity, flexibility is about the ability to think creatively and adopt different approaches to accommodate this complexity. With commentaries, case studies, conceptual models and perspectives that cut across multiple industries, sectors and countries, this book is a valuable resource for academics and professionals alike. The book’s inner pages and its page on Springer.com contain additional comments providing perspectives of clients, industry experts and academia.Table of ContentsPart 1: SYSTEMS THINKING FOR MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS.- Chapter 1.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Students’ Quality Circles: QC Circles
Book SynopsisThis book explains what Students' Quality Circles (SQC) are, how they function, key constraints and issues in implementation, and possible solutions to make it a valuable co-curricular activity. It showcases how Quality Control Circle (QCC) is reengineered with the sole purpose of prosocial personality development of students at their early age. It is a research outcome which depicts the direction of the education system toward character building rather than only developing knowledge and skills. The logical sequence of presentation of the book is ‘why,’ ‘what,’ and toward the end, ‘how’ SQC in education. The book satisfies four hierarchical levels of readers. The first level is of educationists and national policy makers who may take up SQC as an important approach of the education system in their country for prosocial personality development of students and thereby targeting to produce quality citizens in the future. At the second level are chief executives or managers of educational institutes who may identify the potential of SQC approach for developing the positive personality of their students. Teachers and SQC facilitators are at the third level, and they can use the book to train and educate their students while initiating and promoting SQC activities at their institutes. And finally, at the fourth level obviously are students who may refer to this book from time to time and practice SQC on their own for self-development and empowerment.Table of ContentsWhy Students’ Quality Circles is Necessary in Academics?.- What are the Fundamentals of Students’ Quality Circles.- What are the Elements of Students’ Quality Circles?.- What are the Basic SQC Tools?.- How to Implement Students’ Quality Circles in Academia?.- How Students’ Quality Circles are Evolving in the World?.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Corporate Governance Mechanisms and Firm
Book SynopsisThis book begins by analysing the various corporate governance mechanisms explored in the extant literature and determining their effectiveness in enhancing the firm value using multivariate analysis. The findings are of global relevance as the corporate governance regulations of most countries focus on independent directors as the mainstay of good governance. The empirical evidence from the first objective of this study corroborates the claim that independent directors do not strengthen the firms’ governance quality. The book is one of the few works to have analysed the possible reasons behind the ineffectiveness of the independent directors. Also, in view of the famous concept of the bundle of governance mechanisms, it might be possible that the independent directors strengthen the firms’ governance quality indirectly by strengthening other governance mechanisms. This aspect too has little precedence. This study adopts a novel moderation and mediation approach to analyse the monitoring behaviour of independent directors in relation to other governance mechanisms. The work is a must read for corporate players as well as researchers and scholars studying this discipline.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Evolution of Corporate Governance in India.- Chapter 3: Research Methodology.- Chapter 4: Corporate Governance Mechanisms and Firm Performance.- Chapter 5: Performance Enhancement Effect of Board Independence.- Chapter 6: Constraints Diluting the Effectiveness of Board Independence.- Chapter 7: Concluding Observations.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Managing the Post-Colony South Asia Focus: Ways
Book SynopsisThis edited book on South Asia is part of the book series “Managing the Post-colony.” This series is co-edited by Nimruji Jammulamadaka and Gavin Jack and is focused on managing and organising within the historical and contemporary structures of colonization and imperialism within and across nation-states and social domains especially the economic and the cultural domain. This edited book on South Asia is committed to a presentation of indigenous understandings and knowledge around the organizing, religion, language and cultural production through the lens of anti, post and de-colonial thought. This book forces the reader to consider not just what we know but how and where we know and can be instrumental in identifying and challenging dominant modes of management knowledge production. The decolonial movement is closely associated with scholars like Walter Mignolo, Anibal Quijano and others who expose how Western rationality and science, emanating from the enlightenment project, are being used by colonial powers to consolidate their imperial projects. The authors in this book argue that a potent form of colonization is epistemic in nature. This book series seeks to present cutting-edge, critical, interdisciplinary, and geographically and culturally diverse perspectives on the contemporary nature, experience and theorization of managing and organizing in post-colonial location under conditions of coloniality. These conditions subsume ongoing and new forms of colonisation/imperialism, and complex resistances to them, and lives lived outside them, and may be drawn out and investigated in regard to a multiplicity of different business- and management-related topics.The power of domination is its ability to silence other ways of knowing, being and doing. Focus on South Asia: Ways of Managing, Organising and Living delivers a profound critique of Western management theory and its universalistic claims. But, it goes much further to advance other managements and ways of organising from the peoples and communities of South Asia. Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa I like very much the orientation and the composition of the volume…you have a) the meaning of management in the West changed after the Industrial revolution and by 1900 became a political issue domestically in the US and before that colonial, as you show in the colonial context of South Asia; b) so the constitution of the settler management as you show with McCaulay, destituted all existing local form of organizing their praxis of living; c) the task now is the reconstitution of the destituted, the pluriversal human (and animals too) self-organization subjected to Western regulations to their own benefit, while materializing their rhetoric of racial destitution (incapable of organizing like us, impossible for them to be like, us we have to teach them civilization, etc.).

Rivza Baiba (Ed)Latvia University of Agriculture LLUFaculty of Economics and Social developmentDoctor of Business AdministrationE-mail: baiba.rivza@llu.lvORCID 0000-0002-8719-3102 CONTEMPORARY TRENDS IN INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIESThe change in the paradigm of business development in the context of a global pandemic and digitalization has an impact not only on the process of economic management itself but also directly on management methodologies and tools. It is characteristic that the transformation of the economy within the framework of management encompasses both separately functioning leading companies of developed countries and each type of activity, sector, and direction. The transformation affects not only the development of international management but also approaches to staffing and interaction with human resources. The values of entrepreneurship are changing - from purely financial aspects to value and customer-oriented results. The new economy is a response to the processes of resource conservation and the implementation of the concept of lean production, which requires the use of innovative solutions to maintain competitiveness in the context of globalization.2.

In general, the pandemic gave an important impetus to humanity's awareness of the important role of humans and ESG-factors in economic activity. Effective strategic management of human capital is a key condition for increasing the sustainability of innovative development of the economy and society. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the ways of installing human capital, which perform a significant reproduction function in the economy of sustainable innovative development, into the strategic management system. To achieve the goal of the study, the article has solved the problem of systematizing fundamentally new approaches to the strategic management of socio-economic systems, aimed at increasing human resources; the systems of human capital characteristics that affect the degree of sustainability of socio-economic trajectories are structurally presented; the specificity of the innovation-reproduction function of human resources is revealed, the strategies for the increment of human capital in the management system for the sustainable-innovative development of the economy are substantiated and empirically verified. The novelty of the author's approach lies in the substantiation of the directions of integration of the structural model of human capital as an important resource-reproductive component of sustainable and innovative development of the economy into the strategic management system. The results of approbation of the author's developments can serve as the basis for the formation of an effective regulatory mechanism that ensures an increase in the degree of stability of the trajectory of innovation-oriented economic development in the context of fluctuations in the world socio-economic system.3.

Taking the Solow growth model as the basic framework, using the economic development data of Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Heilongjiang in three provinces in China since 2010 to carry out empirical research to measure the contribution rate of various factors such as capital input and labour input to economic growth; The model is expanded to study the long-term driving forces of economic growth in several provinces, and explain the current and long-term kinetic energy conversion. At this stage, capital investment is still the main driver of economic output in several provinces. Several provinces should focus on scientific and technological innovation, optimize and adjust the industrial structure, integrate technological factors into the capital and labour supply side, comprehensively deepen technology-based improvements, and accelerate the transformation of economic growth power.4.

However, despite the daily growth of virtual business networks, Iranian consumers regrettably did not trust such deals in a way that should be expected but were still willing to purchase the products in person through traditional channels. Trust and security of websites are considered to be the most important factors for the users as such businesses are under the category of B2C, and thus the satisfaction, as well as trustworthiness for the consumer, is on the priority. The purpose of this research is to investigate and review the Effects of Obstacles of Intention to Trust for Purchasing Online Products. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) model was used for the analysis of data by means of Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The population sample size for the study was 71 persons examined by an online survey. The findings revealed that there was positive significance between lack of integrity, lack of benevolence, lack of competency and intention to trust. In the meantime, intention to trust was significant with the intention to purchase. Consequently, it was suggested that e-tailers should try to enhance the dimensions of their trustworthiness to e-clients.6.

To manage the smart economy is necessary to analyze all these characteristics in global, makro, mikro and mezo levels. A modern economy is an economy that focuses on the everyday context of people's lives. Therefore, in the transition to a smart economy, it is necessary to study and analyze individual characteristics of the population, as well as its lifestyle. This is the socialization of the economy. In the world, subjective assessment is mainly used to analyze the socialization of the economy, but in this article the author makes an objective assessment of the socialization of the economy in Latvia and its regions, taking into account official statistics.This article describes and analyzes the indicators of socialization of the economy, as well as their impact on the well-being of the population in Latvia and its regions.7.

The difficulty stems from limited information and unknown factors. This paper aims to use Artificial Neural Networks to predict the cost estimate for construction projects. Due to their self-organizing nature, they can be used to solve problems even with low-level programming. This makes them useful in interpreting and generalizing inadequate input information. ANN's are crude derivatives of the biological neural network with a single-layered or multi-layered neuron in the form of the input layer, hidden layer and output layer. The neural network first has to undergo training from historical data to make predictions or show results. The size of the data set, the number of hidden neurons and the neural network architecture determines the success of the results. For the purpose of cost estimation, cost drivers were taken as inputs and their estimated costs were taken as the target value. The cost drivers were selected carefully through literature review and survey to provide accurate results for the estimate. Pareto analysis was performed to identify the most important cost drivers in a construction project. A problem was formulated based on these drivers and the data set was trained with a neural network using the MATLAB software. The training was carried out till the greatest correlation and least Mean Squared Error was obtained after multiple iterations. This trained data was used to predict the cost for a new project.8.

In this paper, we had studied new inter-cluster tie possibilities and drawn up a Eurasia cluster network concept. By examining common factors of all clusters located in EAEU, analyzing influencing effects on new inter-cluster tie formation and outlining significant factors. According to revealed factors, management tools were benchmarked in order to highlight the Eurasian cluster network concept. Since, the practice on such network, the cluster policies of Eurasian Union countries and cluster organizations management instruments were taken into account in the delivered concept, we conclude with a wide description of the concept that has practical implementation and highly likely could be adapted in Eurasian economic realities.9.

The business environment is characterized by the action of political, economic, technological, socio-cultural and other factors. To assess country risk, these factors must be taken into account, as they affect the final result of a business transaction. Country risk assessment is carried out by collecting information, processing it taking into account the chosen methodology, identifying risks, developing a strategy for the company's behaviour in the external market in order to minimize risks external for the company. The information base for assessing country risks is the data of international ratings, for example, the Global Competitiveness Index, the Doing Business Index, the Country Risk Rating (WMRC), and the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) ratings. In modern conditions, the methods for determining the positions of countries in the rating data are criticized, which necessitates adjusting the methodological approaches to determining the rating indicators. The information collected in the form of indicators of international rankings represents a large amount of data. The processing of this data set presupposes the presence of certain software products developed in accordance with the selected risk assessment methodology. Risk assessment methods and risk indicators are independently determined by the firm following its strategy for organizing and conducting international business.10.

Even though the state goals and objectives are similar in most cases, the approaches, in turn, to the implementation of the policy are somewhat different. Thus, the digital economy is characterized by economic activity, the key factor of which is IT production with data in digital form, contributing to the formation of information and telecommunications infrastructure. The degree of digitization of the economy allows us to predict the dynamics of GDP indicators in many countries of the world. It is worth noting that according to the growth rates of digitalization implementation in the economy, Russia is among the TOP 5 countries. Scientists agree that the digital economy is the only possible option to meet the needs of society in the XXI century. Digital technologies are transforming not only business within the country, but also pose new challenges to the tax system. Thus, this paper considers the tools of tax incentives that accelerate the process of digitalization of the economy. Digitalization of all spheres of life requires the state to exercise balanced tax supervision and take decisive actions in the national tax policy, providing the participants of the tax system with benefits and subsidies for the formation of the competitiveness of the Russian economy on the world market.11.

The author believes that the main obstacles for a long time, as well as the opportunities for the successful implementation of the 4:0 industry in the Russian Federation, lie in public legislation: constitutional and financial. The main trend of the fourth industrial revolution is the supposed clarification of a person from the production process, the replacement of human labour with robotic processes and programs. States, on the one hand, carrying a social function, cannot and do not want to allow unemployment, which can lead to upheavals in the political system, and will also inevitably lead to a reduction in the sources of tax revenue of the budget, which, in turn, undermines the foundations of statehood. On the other hand, market capitalist economies are a one-way road. Each of the economically active subjects makes the production process as efficient as possible in order to maximize consumption. Constitutions in the modern sense arose precisely to protect capital, reflecting the results of the political victory of the new economically powerful class – the bourgeoisie. The new values recognized by the world community are expressed in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and are related to the future of humanity as a whole.12.

The relevance of the work is due to the need to create favourable socio-economic conditions for attracting and retaining foreign citizens on the territory of the Russian Federation that meet the needs of the Russian labour market in qualified personnel, as well as the potential willingness to apply the knowledge gained in the Russian education system to carry out highly productive work within their own countries. One of the primary tasks is the search for a universal and effective mechanism for managing human capital with modern means of infocommunications in the context of an export educational model. The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategic directions of personnel training for the Russian economy, the development of human capital by increasing the competitiveness of Russian education, and the identification of factors to stimulate the export of educational services. The achievement of the goals set by the study is predetermined by the analysis of the main measures for the introduction of progressive digital tools into the export model of education, the formation of conditions for the effective self-realization of participants in the educational process, regardless of their territorial location. An analysis of empirical data shows that at the present stage, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan have the potential for integration in the educational space, which allows, using digital tools, to form an effective environment for training highly qualified specialists for various sectors of national economies. The predicted results of our study can be considered the development of a set of socio-economic, organizational and technological recommendations aimed at increasing the human capital index and, as a consequence, the quality of life of all participants in the educational system (both in the model of its export and for an effective strategy for the development of education within the country).13.

The principles and tools of DNA management are being expanded and applied in macroeconomic research.The structure and mechanisms of evolutionary management, DNA management, new evolutionary-genetic and institutional factors, sources of economic growth and their management are highlighted. The article substantiates the systematic and interdisciplinary methodology, the principles of its use, the logical and semiotic nature of economic genes and genotype, the content of semiotic methodological tools, first of all, the structure of genotypic concepts and logical forms of economic genes, the influence of these mechanisms on economic growth and sustainable development. The economic genotype sets the direction of the functioning and development of the economic system. Hence, based on evolutionary and genetic principles, a prognostic basis for the strategy of economic growth and sustainable development, programs for its practical implementation and their monitoring are created. In managing the implementation of strategic forecasting and planning, it is important not to unambiguously or probabilistically anticipate development scenarios, but to establish, first of all, a logical sequence of the stadiality of economic evolution. Strategic management involves the implementation of the goals of socio-economic development and priorities of socio-economic policy. Such goals at the macro - and micro-levels are, as it is justified, the content of genotypic concepts of the economic system. From the standpoint of the evolutionary-genetic approach, the management of economic growth and sustainable development involves the activation and stimulation of economic genes and genotypic structures, the elimination of socio-economic negative mutations in the development process.14.

Therefore, this study analyzed the effect of economic growth, urbanization, total natural resource rent, and eco-innovation on the carbon emissions of the country. Data spanning from 2003 to 2016 was used and several econometric methods were used to determine the impact of these variables. Findings revealed that economic growth and natural resource rent significantly increase carbon emissions while urbanization also increases carbon emissions but is not statistically significant and eco-innovation was found to reduce carbon emissions both in the short and long run. Based on these findings, it is recommended that policies are put in place in Luxembourg to promote environmental-related technologies to ensure environmental sustainability.

This book offers insights into the way corporations develop and implement strategies to face different challenges. This book explores wider world of corporate strategies and their limitations. The future of world economy and international business is shaped by large modern corporations and their rapidly changing business, management and marketing strategies. This book explores the way modern nation states are standing behind the corporations to ensure that their strategies are successful in a world of complex challenges. This book further examines how collaborations between the state and modern corporations are part of the corporate strategy at work today. Further how modern strategies are integral to the start, growth, expansion and sustainability of modern corporations. This book explores operational agilities and organisational abilities of modern corporations to engage with diverse challenges and overcome the crisis. The volatile business environment is creating conditions of instabilities for the market to function effectively and efficiently. Such conditions are weakening all agents and structures operating within international business and world economy. This book argues that there is an urgent need for a profound reshaping of the corporate strategies to deal with a post pandemic society. It is perhaps as far reaching as that the remaking of corporate strategies are in the crossroads today due to its intrinsic profit motives. The remaking of modern corporate strategy comes in the wake of pestilence of a global health crisis; its full impacts are yet to be felt, evaluated and understood. A comprehensive shift in corporate strategy from formulation, implementation and evaluation to remaking is at the heart of this transformations in the working of the corporations and their fundamental ideological apparatus.Table of ContentsTable of ContentsAbout the Book. 2Contributors. 2Introduction to the volume. 2Chapter-1. 5Organisational culture and gender stereotypes in technology industry; a comparative study of the AMD and Nvidia. 5Introduction. 5Understandings of organisational culture. 6Approaches and models to study organisational culture. 7Exploring organisational culture. 8Significance of gender-diverse organisational culture. 10The Cultural Web model 12Cultural Web model as a tested model 13Organisational culture in the AMD.. 14Organisational culture in the Nvidia. 14The Cultural Web model and organisational culture in AMD and Nvidia. 16Analysing the organisational culture in AMD using the Cultural Web model 16Analysing the organisational culture in Nvidia using the Cultural Web model 21Comparing the organisational culture in AMD and Nvidia. 27Conclusion. 28References. 30Chapter-2. 47The internal organisational environment in Amazon. 47Introduction. 47Various perspectives on internal environment of organisations. 49VRIO Model 50Knowledge-Based View.. 50The Amazon. 55Critical Evaluation of Amazon’s Primary Activities. 56Conclusion. 71References. 73Chapter-3. 104AIDA model and the impact of Tiktok video streaming on online shopping : A case study of TikTok. 104Introduction. 104Models of Marketing. 106The impacts of TikTok on online shopping. 111Conclusion. 120Reference. 121Chapter-4. 132Marketing practices of the Walt Disney and the Warner Media: A comparative analysis. 132Introduction. 132The 7Ps of Marketing. 137Marketing Practices of the Walt Disney. 139Marketing Practices of the Warner Media. 143Marketing Practices of Walt Disney and Warner Media: A Comparative Analysis. 146Conclusion. 150References. 151Chapter-5. 159The Google Walkout for Real Change and Corporate Social Responsibility. 159Introduction. 159Corporate Social Responsibility. 161Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility. 164The Google. 168References. 182

Information Age Publishing Managerial Practice Issues in Strategy and
Book SynopsisThe field of strategy science has grown in both the diversity of issues it addresses and the increasingly interdisciplinary approaches it adopts in understanding the nature and significance of problems that are continuously emerging in the world of human endeavor. These newer kinds of challenges and opportunities arise in all forms of organizations, encompassing private and public enterprises, and with strategies that experiment with breaking the traditional molds and contours. The field of strategy science is also, perhaps inevitably, being impacted by the proliferation of hybrid organizations such as strategic alliances, the upsurge of approaches that go beyond the customary emphasis on competitiveness and profit making, and the intermixing of time-honored categories of activities such as business, industry, commerce, trade, government, the professions, and so on. The blurring of the boundaries between various areas and types of human activities points to a need for academic research to address the consequential developments in strategic issues. Hence, research and thinking about the nature of issues to be tackled by strategy science should also cultivate requisite variety in issues recognized for research inquiry, including the conceptual foundations of strategy and strategy making, and the examination of the critical roles of strategy makers, strategic thinking, time and temporalities, business and other goal choices, diversity in organizing modes for strategy implementation, and the complexities of managing strategy, to name a few. This book series on Research in Strategy Science aims to provide an outlet for ideas and issues that publications in the field do not provide, either expressly or adequately, especially as regards the comprehensive coverage deserved by certain emerging areas of interest. The topics of the volumes in the series will keep in view this objective to expand the research areas and theoretical approaches routinely found in strategy science, the better to permit expanded and expansive treatments of promising issues that may not sufficiently align with the usual research coverage of publications in the field.Managerial Practice Issues in Strategy and Organization contains contributions by leading scholars on significant issues relating to managerial practices in the field of strategy science research. The 11 chapters in this volume cover the topics of Big Science collaborations, open innovations in pharmaceutical companies, complementary roles and relative optimism of company CEOs, CFOs, and Board Chairs, business modelling, management of uncertainty, meta-management practices, proximity in innovation networks, institutional logics in alliances, and using technology in teaching. The chapters collectively present a wide-ranging review of the noteworthy research perspectives on the managerial practice issues in strategy and organization.

Information Age Publishing System Evaluation Theory: A Blueprint for
Book SynopsisToo often evaluation findings end up on the shelf! Why? Many interventions have several moving parts working together to achieve something each part cannot do independently. Unfortunately, many of the available evaluation approaches oversimplify this reality. A major reason for this is that evaluators do not have a blueprint to plan, and the associated methods to execute, an evaluation fit for this purpose. As such, they revert to using methods with which they are familiar, but are not suitable, for evaluating complex interventions. Consequently, the evaluation findings do not make sense to decisionmakers, so they are ignored. This book provides evaluators of all skill levels with a simple 3-step framework, System Evaluation Theory, that will lead to more actionable recommendations because the methods better capture the reality in which interventions operate; that is as a system.The book first reviews the limitations of program evaluation approaches that pointed to a need for a different way of thinking, one grounded in systems. After defining a system, the book explains how SET is intentionally aligned to evaluate a system's two essential properties: interdependence and emergence. Individual chapters are dedicated to explaining how to execute each SET step. Throughout, the author draws on real-world examples and those from his own evaluations to help bridge the theory-practice divide. The reader is then shown how to use SET to develop actionable recommendations.

Information Age Publishing Innovation and Behavioral Strategy
Book SynopsisBehavioral strategy continues to attract increasing research interest within the broader field of strategic management. Research in behavioral strategy has clear scope for development in tandem with such traditional streams of strategy research that involve economics, markets, resources, and technology. The key roles of psychology, organizational behavior, and behavioral decision making in the theory and practice of strategy have yet to be comprehensively grasped. Given that strategic thinking and strategic decision making are importantly concerned with human cognition, human decisions, and human behavior, it makes eminent sense to bring some balance in the strategy field by complementing the extant emphasis on the "objective" economics-based view with substantive attention to the "subjective" individual-oriented perspective. This calls for more focused inquiries into the role and nature of the individual strategy actors, and their cognitions and behaviors, in the strategy research enterprise. For the purposes of this book series, behavioral strategy would be broadly construed as covering all aspects of the role of the strategy maker in the entire strategy field. The scholarship relating to behavioral strategy is widely believed to be dispersed in diverse literatures. These existing contributions that relate to behavioral strategy within the overall field of strategy has been known and perhaps valued by most scholars all along, but were not adequately appreciated or brought together as a coherent sub-field or as a distinct perspective of strategy. This book series on Research in Behavioral Strategy will cover the essential progress made thus far in this admittedly fragmented literature and elaborate upon fruitful streams of scholarship. More importantly, the book series will focus on providing a robust and comprehensive forum for the growing scholarship in behavioral strategy. In particular, the volumes in the series will cover new views of interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks and models (dealing with all behavioral aspects), significant practical problems of strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation, and emerging areas of inquiry. The series will also include comprehensive empirical studies of selected segments of business, economic, industrial, government, and non-profit activities with potential for wider application of behavioral strategy. Through the ongoing release of focused topical titles, this book series will seek to disseminate theoretical insights and practical management information that will enable interested professionals to gain a rigorous and comprehensive understanding of the subject of behavioral strategy.Innovation and Behavioral Strategy contains contributions by leading scholars in the field of innovation with an interest in researching behavioral perspectives. The 9 chapters in this volume deal with a number of significant issues relating broadly to the behavioral aspects of innovation, covering topics such as emotional climate for catalyzing innovation, leadership in open innovation, environmental disruptions, collaborative communities, performance of small-scale entrepreneurs, supply chain innovation alliances, new partner selection for innovation, coopetition in networks, and public-private innovation alliances. The chapters include empirical as well as conceptual treatments of the selected topics, and collectively present a wide-ranging review of the noteworthy research perspectives on innovation and behavioral strategy.

Information Age Publishing Innovation and Behavioral Strategy
Book SynopsisBehavioral strategy continues to attract increasing research interest within the broader field of strategic management. Research in behavioral strategy has clear scope for development in tandem with such traditional streams of strategy research that involve economics, markets, resources, and technology. The key roles of psychology, organizational behavior, and behavioral decision making in the theory and practice of strategy have yet to be comprehensively grasped. Given that strategic thinking and strategic decision making are importantly concerned with human cognition, human decisions, and human behavior, it makes eminent sense to bring some balance in the strategy field by complementing the extant emphasis on the "objective" economics-based view with substantive attention to the "subjective" individual-oriented perspective. This calls for more focused inquiries into the role and nature of the individual strategy actors, and their cognitions and behaviors, in the strategy research enterprise. For the purposes of this book series, behavioral strategy would be broadly construed as covering all aspects of the role of the strategy maker in the entire strategy field. The scholarship relating to behavioral strategy is widely believed to be dispersed in diverse literatures. These existing contributions that relate to behavioral strategy within the overall field of strategy has been known and perhaps valued by most scholars all along, but were not adequately appreciated or brought together as a coherent sub-field or as a distinct perspective of strategy.

Information Age Publishing Digital Transformation: Organizational Challenges
Book SynopsisWhereas digital transformation, considered from the standpoint of strategy, suggests a direct link with business benefits, questions linger about the implementation of digital technologies that often result in a lack of return on investment. Many consulting trends adopt a technology-centered approach, assuming that AI, IoT, data analytics, or robotics, would lead to business performance. Yet, most of the time, organizational factors are neglected, especially hidden costs or hidden work. Moreover, unexpected consequences are overlooked, such as resistance to change. Digital transformation is a practical problem for managers. Are IS implementation approaches such as agile methods to Socio-Technical Systems (STS) sufficient to tackle these issues? This book suggests starting from organizational transformation, in essence, independently from technology with methods such as Business Process Management (BPM), Socio-Economic Approaches to Management (SEAM) or Organizational Development (OD).Overall, whereas technology-centered approaches have been associated with numerous unintended consequences and failures with previous generations of technologies (e.g., ERP or KMS), process-centered and human-centered approaches may represent a less risky approach to digital transformation implementation.This volume focuses on evaluating the potential performance improvements and risks of digital transformation and ways to assess how technology may support work and organizational goals. Therefore, whereas written by both academics and practitioners, this book has been written for all managers in companies and institutions in order to help them achieve digital transformation success.

Information Age Publishing Co-Creating Talent and Human-Centered
Book SynopsisAs we dive deep into the humanistic paradigm – in society and in business, the models and narrative of business must change. The human-centric dynamic places people at the center of sustainable value creation. Therefore, leaders must shine the light on talent and people. The book Co-Creating Talent and Human-Centered Organizations: Organization Development (OD) Perspectives is an elaboration of the concepts to developing talent masters and build high-value organizations through cultivating enduring human capabilities and tapping into our collective capacities. Based on the OD field's fundamental values, the focus is, therefore, on enhancing the capacity of leaders to build resilient organizations. The book is informed by the realization that most organizational routines and boundaries inhibit and deplete enduring human capabilities and tendencies. Recognizing that organizations are open organizational systems, the book creates space for readers, leaders, managers, and OD professionals to continually reframe their cognitive and emotional frameworks towards high-value organizational cultures that would help co-create sustainable futures.Leveraging on the informal interpretations, impressions, insights and interventions of Organization Development (OD) 'tacit knowledge' and 'deep smarts', this book focuses on concepts targeted at charting the talent journey, identify cultural gaps in the workforce, modernize the learning & development architecture, and enhancing intentional change effort and purposeful enactment across all organizational members. The book leverages on Organization Development (OD) science, theory, practices, and values; and the role of Appreciative Leadership in developing talent in contemporary organizations. Whole System Thinking and co-creation of possibilities are central principles in this book. The book is informed by the increasing need for organizations to holistically prioritize the talent agenda and continuously drive competitiveness and performance through workforce optimization approaches. This is necessitated by the emergence of multi-generational workforce, the pervasive impact of technology, increasing talent mobility, shifts towards increased reliance on virtual teams, and the effects of globalization on the talent landscape.
