Management and management techniques Books
Stanford University Press Creating New Knowledge in Management
Book SynopsisThis book rediscovers lost sources in the work of Mary Parker Follett and Chester Barnard to revive and substantiate the long-abandoned idea of a coherent and unique management discipline—consisting of a science, applied science, and profession. It conceives of the development a Management institution that would makes advances comparable to the more established academic fields.Trade Review"Creating New Knowledge in Management performs the important task of revisiting seminal management authors (Follett, Barnard) and demonstrating their continuing relevance. In doing this, the book generates a new understanding of the origins of management thought, linking this to current debates about the role of business schools." -- Ken Starkey * Nottingham University Business School and author of The Business School and the Bottom Line *"This thoughtful book highlights the need for business schools to teach current managers and managers-to-be the benefits of appreciating and acting upon this key notion: The expansion of cooperative behavior and the development of the individual are mutually dependent realities, and a balance of these two elements is needed for an organization to maintain vitality." -- Joe Mahoney * University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign *"Dr. O'Connor blends careful research and meticulous scholarship with her keen philosophical and postmodern perspective to reinterpret the world and works of Mary Parker Follett and Chester Barnard for our time. Grounding her work deeply in the writings of these two legends in management thought, O'Connor's book brings each of these characters, and their important ideas, forward and revitalizes their work in terms of current management challenges. My sense is that this book will be the definitive work on Barnard for the next generation of scholars." -- Paul Godfrey * Brigham Young University *

It takes vitally important insights that Meehan and Jonker have been teaching for many years and distils them into practical advice that will benefit anyone in the social sector who aspires to achieve an outsized impact."—Jonathan Levin, Dean, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University"As a philanthropist constantly grappling with how I can achieve more impact, I found Jonker and Meehan's insights to be provocative and engaging. They go beyond the typical rhetoric regarding 'what the nonprofit sector can learn from business' and give these organizations their due—with great advice. Nonprofits are dealing with often intractable societal problems of enormous complexity and uncertain revenue streams. These authors appreciate the weight on leaders' shoulders, while offering a detailed roadmap to maximize their impact. A must-read."—Jeff Raikes, Co-Founder, Raikes Foundation, former CEO, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Chairman, Stanford University Board of Trustees"No one knows the not-for-profit sector and its most effective leaders better than Meehan and Jonker. Their book is a master class on what it takes to drive meaningful impact. In tackling the fundamental questions—strategy and focus, discipline and accountability—the authors get to the heart of what every mission-focused leader needs to understand. Engine of Impact is a book to read and re-read—the definitive guide for all who aspire to lead high-performing and high-achieving organizations."—Sally Osberg, former President and CEO, Skoll Foundation, and co-author of Getting Beyond Better"Bill Meehan and Kim Jonker have decades of experience in rigorously evaluating what makes organizations operate—or fail to operate—at a high level.

Enter Bill Meehan and Kim Jonker who, in simple and lively prose, draw upon deep research and lived experience to deliver the essential field guide on how to do it right. All of us—donors, volunteers, board members, executives, citizens—are in their debt."—Dominic Barton, Global Managing Partner Emeritus, McKinsey & Company"In an era when the work of nonprofits is ever more essential, Meehan and Jonker deliver critical insights, strategic guidance, and inspirational lessons from the front lines. Readers will benefit enormously from their candor and clear-headed wisdom. We're awash in business books, but the nonprofit sector has been wanting for its own evidence-based guide. In Engine of Impact, they have it. I strongly recommend this book for nonprofit leaders, funders, and anyone seeking to optimize humanitarian impact."—Jacquelline Fuller, President, Google.org"This book will change most readers. Its style is very direct. It sees the future. It draws on both the classics and the authors' deep knowledge of our field. It is practical, and it cares."—Bill Drayton, CEO & Chair, Ashoka"Engine of Impact is an indispensable tool for today's nonprofit leader. Drawing on their considerable expertise and insight, Meehan and Jonker provide a framework for dedicated executives who are committed to building organizations that are worthy of their missions."—Matt Bannick, former Managing Partner, Omidyar Network"The social sector has long needed a book like this one, which emphasizes a businesslike approach to doing good at scale. When the bottom line is measured by impact on human lives, the best intentions are never enough. By applying lessons in management excellence, this book will help nonprofits achieve significantly better results."—Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, Founder and Chairperson, BRAC"Bill Meehan and Kim Jonker have written a playbook for those who are not satisfied with doing some good, but want to do as much good as they can with their time and talents. This is a vital topic, and I'm excited to see how the next generation of nonprofit leaders applies the ideas and insights in this book."—Cari Tuna, Co-founder and President, Good Ventures, and Managing Director, Open Philanthropy Project"Hard-hitting and willing to express decisive, experience-based views, this book is sophisticated, evidence- and ideas-based. A 'how and when to do it' guidebook, it is also a pleasure to read."—Joel Fleishman, Professor of Law and Public Policy, Duke University, co-author, Give Smart"Every engine needs a tune up from time to time. Even the strongest organizations will find value in Engine of Impact. With inspiring stories and cogent frameworks, Meehan and Jonker show us that social change is an art and a science that demands rigor and spirit. With guidance like this, we can find a path to a better world."—Jacob Harold, President and CEO, GuideStar"If you're a nonprofit leader who cares deeply and passionately for the people and causes you serve, you will love Engine of Impact. Bill Meehan and Kim Jonker are quintessential big thinkers, but their insights do not come from 'on high.' This is practical wisdom at a human scale, reinforced with great examples. You will come away from this book with real optimism that we are, indeed, entering a new era of impact."—Mario Morino, Chairman, Morino Institute, Co-founder, Venture Philanthropy Partners, and author, Leap of Reason"Meehan and Jonker have worked in the sector, studied their history, interviewed key players, and can compare and contrast what's known about the social sector with what's known about public agencies and corporate actors. The book is grounded in two careers worth of real work...If you, unlike me, appreciate the efficiency of the business book genre then by all means, read Engine of Impact. If you, like me, find the business section of the bookstore the easiest one to skip past, this is one of the rare books worth stopping for."—Lucy Bernholz, Philanthropy 2173Table of Contents1.

Louisiana State University Press Railroads in the Civil War The Impact of

Gaps between lines, incompatible track gauges, and other vexing impediments remained in both the North and South. As John E. Clark explains in this compelling study, the skill with which Union and Confederate war leaders met those problems and utilized the rail system to its fullest potential was an essential ingredient for ultimate victory.Trade Review"Clark has introduced an important candidate into the debate over why the South lost the Civil War - logistics." - Journal of American History; "An intelligently conceived, clearly written, provocative, and insightful contribution to our understanding not only of how superior railroads aided the northern war effort, but also of sectional differences in both the management of business and the administration of government." - Georgia Historical Quarterly"

University of Pennsylvania Press The Organization Man
Book SynopsisRegarded as one of the most important sociological and business commentaries of modern times, The Organization Man developed the first thorough description of the impact of mass organization on American society. During the height of the Eisenhower administration, corporations appeared to provide a blissful answer to postwar life with the marketing of new technologies—television, affordable cars, space travel, fast food—and lifestyles, such as carefully planned suburban communities centered around the nuclear family. William H. Whyte found this phenomenon alarming.As an editor for Fortune magazine, Whyte was well placed to observe corporate America; it became clear to him that the American belief in the perfectibility of society was shifting from one of individual initiative to one that could be achieved at the expense of the individual. With its clear analysis of contemporary working and living arrangements, The Organization Man rapidly achieveTrade Review"Recognized as a benchmark, Whyte's book reveals the dilemmas at the heart of the group ethos that emerged in the corporate and social world of the postwar era." * Nathan Glazer *"The Organization Man is one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. It established the categories Americans now use when thinking about the workplace, the suburbs, and their lives." * David Brooks, senior editor at the Weekly Standard and contributing editor at Newsweek *"The Organization Man remains a worthwhile read today." * Philadelphia Inquirer *Table of ContentsForeword, by Joseph Nocera PART I.

Fordham University Press The Sentimental Touch
Book SynopsisExamines emotion in American literature between 1850 and 1940—when sentimental literature seemed to fade from the cultural landscape and managerial bureaucracies began to dominate American culture. Offers readings of novels by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, Sherwood Anderson, Nathanael West, and David Foster Wallace.Trade Review"A very humane book. Concentrating on the image of touch, Ritzenberg traces how American authors have represented human feeling. Delving into works from the 1850s to the 1930s, he shows how Americans responded to a major consequence of industrialization--the social organization of society through management--and how managerial principles eroded fundamental human connections." -- -Gregg Camfield University of California, Merced "Ritzenberg capably traces the 'sentimental touch'-- the evocation of emotion through bodiy relations. such as the touch of hands or an embraces-- arguing that it runs through a variety of American literary texts from 1850-1940... Recommended." -Choice "A powerful addition to the ongoing critical conversation about the role of sentimentality in shaping the parameters of American subjectivity while also offering some new and compelling readings of a small, but well chosen, set of American fictions." -- -Mary Louise Kete University of Vermont

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Governing Disasters
Book SynopsisFor teaching purposes it is ideal for courses on risk regulation, disaster law and policy, and crisis management or as a supplement in courses on environmental law, transport law, space law or land use.Trade ReviewCatastrophes present us with a paradox. Many people don't think they will happen, so before a catastrophe, regulations are typically viewed as unnecessarily invasive. But in the aftermath of a disaster everybody suddenly blames the government for not having been strict enough. Overregulation often follows. In light of the unprecedented series of catastrophes in recent years, more than ever, top leaders in government and business must understand and overcome this regulatory challenge. Alberto Alemanno's innovative book tells you how. --Erwann Michel-Kerjan, The Wharton School's Center for Risk Management[I]t is a valuable source of references to the literature for those who wish to learn more about this specific sub-field of risk research. Each of the chapters, from a different disciplinary perspective, ends with a bibliography and identifies a number of themes about the nature of emergency risk regulation. The book should be a valuable source of information and references for regulators, the regulated, and scholars in a wide range of disciplines such as law, economics, risk analysis, management, political science and sociology as it provides an original perspective on emergency risk regulation. --Tatjana Jovanic, European Journal of Risk RegulationThe challenges posed by risky decisions are well documented. These decisions become even more daunting when they must be made in a midst of a crisis. Using the European volcanic risk crisis as the principal case study, Alberto Alemanno and the other contributors to this thought provoking volume derive valuable lessons for how policy makers can cope with the attendant time pressures, uncertainties, coordination issues, and risk communication problems. Once the next emergency risk situation occurs, it may be too late to learn about how to respond. Governing Disasters should be required reading for all policy makers and risk analysts in advance of the next international risk crisis. --W.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Shift to the Entrepreneurial Society A Built
Book SynopsisIn the constant challenge economies face to grow and adapt, entrepreneurship and innovation are considered key factors. This impressive book shows the complementary and decisive role that education, access to an efficient financial system, and regulation may have in creating an entrepreneurial society.Trade ReviewThe concept of the ''entrepreneurial economy'' stems from the widespread belief that entrepreneurship is perhaps the most important and scarcest input factor of modern highly developed economies. This has resulted in a multitude of studies on the drivers and consequences of entrepreneurship in its many manifestations. Less is known about how entrepreneurship interlinks with modern institutions and policy aims such as education, finance, regulation, and the struggle with crises. The present volume fills this gap in our understanding of the ''entrepreneurial economy''. It shows that the concept of the ''entrepreneurial economy'' is so broad that ''entrepreneurial society'' is the better term. - --Roy Thurik, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: Toward the Entrepreneurial Society Jean Bonnet, Marcus Dejardin and Antonia Madrid-Guijarro PART I: ENTREPRENEURIAL MOTIVES, EDUCATION AND PERFORMANCE 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Resilience and the Management of Nonprofit
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘What makes this book so remarkable for potential readers is its immediate potential for application to those working in the nonprofit sector. ... I am pleased to recommend this book – it is well-written, keyed to the interests of practitioners, and has real potential to make a positive difference in resilience planning for nonprofit organizations. I hope that nonprofit organization leaders will read it.’ -- Public Organization Review‘Resilience and the Management of Nonprofit Organizations is a book that explores the concept of resilience management for nonprofit organizations. The authors, Dennis Young and Elizabeth Searing, argue that the current paradigm of nonprofit management, which focuses on trustworthiness and efficiency, needs to be revised to adequately address the challenges facing non-profit organizations. They propose a new paradigm based on resilience, which they define as the ability of organizations to adapt to changing circumstances and continue serving their missions effectively. The book provides strategies for anticipating and preparing for crises, explores the various dimensions of organizational resilience, and offers management strategies for achieving organizational resilience. It also discusses the need for ‘‘organizational slack’’ in order to be flexible and adaptable in the face of challenges.’ -- Fandi Rahanra and Muhammad Hilal Sudarbi, International Society for Third-Sector Research 2023, Voluntas‘The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the resilience of many organizations. In their practical and timely book, Dennis Young and Elizabeth Searing take the opportunity to look at the larger question of preparedness in sector groups for dealing with circumstances – society-wide or unique to a specific organization – that threaten their viability.’ -- The Philanthropist‘Good non-profits are passionate about their missions and are excellent at the delivery of their services. This engaging book will provide the required learning to implement resilience strategies and strong financial acumen throughout their organizations to ensure that there is no interruption to services in times of turbulence and uncertainty.’ -- Noha Ryder, Interim Managing Director & Chief Financial Officer, Apollo's Fire, Ohio, US‘Learning from the crisis aftermaths of September 11, 2001, 2008, and 2020-21, Dennis Young and Elizabeth Searing’s new book on long-term nonprofit management proposes a paradigm shift in emphasis—from Efficiency, Mission Impact, and other traditional standards—to long-term Resilience. Academically sound, this trailblazer offers practical, logical, and sometimes revolutionary advice for every nonprofit.’ -- Richard Pogue, Former Managing Partner of Jones Day, Ohio, US and Former Chairman, Cleveland Foundation‘This is a book for our time. With increasingly rapid change and challenges, nonprofit organizations must be resilient in order to survive and succeed. Drawing on a fresh perspective, case studies and relevant scholarship, here are the processes and practices every nonprofit leader needs now.’ -- Frederick S. Lane, Baruch College, City University of New York, US‘This book provides valuable insight into how to integrate the concept of resilience into organizational culture and management practices. As we emerge from over two years of the pandemic, the need to lean into core strengths and develop greater expertise is invaluable.’ -- Brian Schreiber, JCC of Greater Pittsburgh, US‘Challenges the conventional maxims of “minimize overhead, diversify revenues, be lean, and avoid debt” in the context of catastrophic risk.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Ironies of Organizational Change
Book SynopsisThis unique book provides a novel and challenging framework for understanding and influencing organizational change. It reimagines managing and leading change as the mindful mobilisation of maps, masks and mirrors.Trade Review‘Many writings and much thinking on organizational change are optimistic and simplistic. In this book the authors brilliantly point at ironies, difficulties and dilemmas, at the same time they provide the reader with an excellent overview of what to consider in change work. The book offers a very good balance between advice-giving and awareness of problems and obstacles in organizations seldom adaptive to plans rarely fully working when confronted with reality. The book is original, very accessible and at times also entertaining to read. It should be read by practitioners, students and scholars interested in change work.’ -- Mats Alvesson, University of Bath, UK and University of Queensland, Australia‘If change is illusive, how do we manage it? Badham and Santiago peel back the curtain on organizations to offer a view into and tools to live with change management’s irrationality. Their approach – filled with metaphors, stories, images, and pop culture – models the way, delighting the reader in the treacherous journey of managing change management. It is like the Turkish candy of change management – serious sweets presented with enchanting elegance. Leaders across the world will value this book!’ -- Wendy Smith, Dana J. Johnson Professor of Management, University of Delaware, US‘Badham and Santiago’s Ironies of Organizational Change presents an inspired, creative and practical way of addressing a practice that has confounded managers for generations. The book challenges us to reimagine the myths about change that we have held onto for too long, providing a fresh perspective on what can be done to get it right. An essential guide for today’s and tomorrow’s leaders.’ -- Carl Rhodes, University of Technology Sydney, Australia‘This is a remarkable and highly entertaining overview of “change models” because it does what so few of us have either the bandwidth or the motivation to actually compare lots of models and research claims and theories in this field of change practice. This book makes it quite clear that not only do we differ in our structural theories but we are all over the map in our practices. It is high time that someone points this out and invites us to look at the ironies that our own efforts produce when our practices don't match our theories.’ -- Edgar H. Schein, Professor Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and co-author of Humble Inquiry (2021)‘Planned change often fails. Here is an innovative approach to getting it right. Richard and Brenda develop a novel framework involving maps, mirrors and masks – as executing change is a performance. Their creative onboard and online resources, including movies, will help you to reimagine the process, and reimagine yourself.’ -- David A. Buchanan, Emeritus Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Cranfield University School of Management, UK‘Ironies of Organizational Change is a welcome perspective on the complexities and ironies of change, while at the same time providing actionable frameworks for change agents and leaders. The book outlines several reasons for which rationalist change approaches may not hit the mark, while providing ways to appreciate the subtleties of organizations and change in a way that can lead to more effective change processes.’ -- Loizos Heracleous, University of Warwick, UK‘I often listen to Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan. One of his many memorable lines is “that he is not busy being born is busy dying”. It is not only life that is a process of constant change and shifts in performative identity in the presentation of self; the same is also true of the frameworks in which lives are led. Organizations provide frameworks for work, rest and play and they change performatively as do we. All is in process. Organizations and the individuals within them may seem to be managing change but the gap between aspirations and reality can always ironically undermine the stable sense of identity as being in control. In the space of organizational life’s coming into being and passing away, ironic performativity makes the process of change humanly manageable, in insights which this engaging book channels to creative purpose.’ -- Stewart Clegg, University of Sydney, Australia‘This book is a tour de force of scholarly practice. It is up to date academically and engaging and inspirational in its writing, its examples, its links to new sources of information, and its invitations to readers, regardless of the degree of our academic, manager, or consultant orientations. It encourages us all to imagine and act on organizational change in new ways and to recognize and appreciate the ironies in approaches to change that insist it is failing when it’s actually providing valuable learning experiences.’ -- Jean M. Bartunek, Boston College, US‘Thinking change, go no further. This book not only challenges us with thought provoking ideas and concepts but also grounds the contradictions, dilemmas, and ironies of change through exercises and cases that offer practical advice. A novel and excellent read for those who wish to reflect, reimagine and reinvent.’ -- Patrick Dawson, Emeritus Professor, University of Aberdeen, UK‘Planned change often fails. Here is an innovative approach to getting it right. Richard and Brenda develop a novel framework involving maps, mirrors, and masks – as executing change is a performance. Their creative onboard and online resources, including movies, will help you to reimagine the process, and reimagine yourself.’ -- David A. Buchanan, Emeritus Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Cranfield University School of Management, UK‘Buy this book! It is an important, erudite, insightful, and entertaining look at management and change. The book is based on decades of successfully teaching and advising managers, and of researching change in organizations. The book’s basic argument is very simple and highly difficult: in order to change our world, we have to change ourselves. To do that, we have to see the world and ourselves in a different light. Richard Badham and Brenda Santiago show us how to do this and I can’t think of anyone better equipped to do so. Whether you are a manager, practitioner, lecturer, or student, this book is for you.’ -- Bernard Burnes, University of Stirling, UK‘Sooner or later, somebody had to say – loudly and openly – that without understanding the role of paradoxes and irony, it is impossible to understand the functioning of contemporary organizations. Richard Badham and Brenda Santiago did just that. It is therefore of utmost importance that students and young scholars acquaint themselves with this provocative but correct image of organizational change.’ -- Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg, Sweden‘Ironies of Organizational Change is a welcome perspective on the complexities and ironies of change, while at the same time providing actionable frameworks for change agents and leaders. The book outlines several reasons for which rationalist change approaches may not hit the mark, while providing ways to appreciate the subtleties of organizations and change in a way that can lead to more effective change processes.’ -- Loizos Heracleous, University of Warwick, UK‘Maps, masks, mirrors – Professor Badham conjures up marvellous metaphors that do not just describe change, but work as change agents in classrooms and boardrooms.

Book SynopsisThis book is based on a simple, obvious point: leadership roles should be filled by people who deliberately decide they want to be in them. Yet many executives and managers find that they have become leaders by default rather than as a result of a personal choice. In fact, a great many people drift into or away from being leaders simply because they have not done the work of matching their own honestly described self with the realities of the leadership role. Not until they are well into their careers do many individuals seriously explore their personal fit for leadership. But by then, it is often too late to prepare for more gratifying roles or to get out of situations that don''t make sense for them as individuals. Discovering the Leader in You offers a planful approach to understanding how aspects of personality, character, vision, home life, values, and skills match with essential leadership activities.
