Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘This extraordinary collection of research and practices needs to be used as a manual for action. Years ago, Kofi Annan stated: “The future of the world depends on women.” The current world of aggression and oppression is one consequence of denying women access to leadership. There is no more time to consider women’s role as life-affirming leaders – we must enact and embody the clarity and wisdom contained in this new edition.’ -- Dr. Margaret J. Wheatley, author of ten books from Leadership and the New Science to Who Do We Choose To Be?, US‘Susan Madsen has done it again. With her editing of this second edition of the Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership she has provided both theoreticians and practitioners with updates as well as additional information and insights on a wide range of related subjects. Each of the many chapters is carefully researched and well written, with some addressing subjects previously largely ignored, such as how race and gender identity pertain to the matter at hand. Of course, the question of why, after decades of efforts to rectify the imbalance, are still so few women at the top, and in many countries and cultures none or nearly so, continues to linger. This volume though goes a long way toward providing some nimble and nuanced answers. It’s a resource worthy of its excellent predecessor.’ -- Barbara Kellerman, Fellow, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xxii Sally Helgesen Introduction to the Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership xxiv Susan R.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Research Methods in Careers
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Comprised of fifteen erudite articles organized into three major sections, Handbook of Research Methods in Careers must be considered an unreservedly recommended and core addition to personal, professional, corporate, college and university library Human Resources & Personnel Management reference collections and supplemental studies curriculums.’ -- James A Cox, Midwest Book Review'The Handbook of Research Methods in Careers is a marvel! Editors Wendy Murphy and Jennifer Tosti-Kharas have cleverly organized insights from leading scholars in the careers field to provide a road-map for conducting meaningful research. Each chapter highlights key research issues ranging from how to conduct in-depth interviews to text mining to measuring career constructs. This first-of-its-kind Handbook offers actionable advice on how to avoid errors, details best practices, and discusses innovations in studying careers. The Handbook of Research Methods in Careers is a thought-provoking volume that new and experienced scholars will return to again and again for its comprehensive coverage and realistic recommendations on how to conduct high-quality research.' -- Sherry E. Sullivan, Bowling Green State University, US'The careers field encompasses a broad scholarly territory, spanning many disciplines in the social sciences. The methodologies employed in this literature cover a correspondingly broad landscape, from large-scale multi-country surveys to the closely-analyzed accounts of individual narratives and using techniques both quantitative and qualitative, cross-sectional and longitudinal. This book will be a valuable resource for careers scholars. It tells stories about doing career research, it instructs the reader in a wide range of career research methodologies, and it encourages researchers both recently-arrived in the field and long-established to try approaches that are new to them. Like all good accounts, its authors talk about both their successes and their failures, providing wonderful examples of research from which we can all learn.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of SustainabilityDriven Business
Book SynopsisSustainability is a top priority for organizations and a key strategy in corporate agendas, but the effective deployment of any strategy demands that the strategy is consistent, functional, and aligned. This Handbook advocates sustainability strategies that encompass environmental, social, and economic dimensions at department-level.Trade Review'Addressing the grand challenges of our time will require collaborative efforts across organizational and disciplinary boundaries. Sustainability is arguably one of the major challenges that has received attention for quite some time but for which progress is also hampered due to limited perspectives on both problems and solutions. Luckily, this book offers a step in the right direction as it not only bridges sustainability and business strategies--in itself a major factor for actually achieving change--but it also does so by drawing on different disciplines. By offering a basis for comparing and contrasting different domains and perspectives, this book helps to better understand the complexity of the underlying problem and thereby also contributes to research and practice.' -- Marcel Bogers, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands'I strongly recommend the Handbook of Sustainability-Driven Business Strategies in Practice as an essential reading for all stakeholders in the sustainability ecosystem, wishing to make concrete and practical efforts in driving sustainable business in the real world. The challenge in sustainability is always moving beyond rhetoric to actual practice and implementation, and this Handbook can provide useful tips and strategies to push for more progress and make our world a better place.' -- Dima Jamali, University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates'Sustainability is high on the corporate and public agenda but developing and implementing strategies for sustainability often remains challenging.

What is most appealing is that the Handbook moves beyond corporate strategy and takes the reader to how corporate strategies get applied across each of the key functional areas such as marketing, finance, and HR, with a closing section discussing specific cases to further illustrate sustainability-driven business strategies in action.' -- Ruth V. Aguilera, D'Amore-McKim School of Business, Northeastern University, US'Sustainability is today's leading business imperative. For the sake of our planet and humanity, businesses must find effective, profitable ways to assure a future for our natural environment, while providing safe, meaningful work that allows employees to live and prosper. Sustainability efforts cannot simply address pieces of business--they must permeate all operations. This book offers a comprehensive approach to sustainability, addressing all functional areas, including marketing, human resources, operations, accounting, finance, and more. It also covers all facets of sustainability, including people, planet, and profit. This thorough coverage is followed by several practical case studies to demonstrate sustainability efforts in action. This book offers business practitioners and academics a comprehensive approach to meaningful, viable sustainability efforts.' -- Debra Z. Basil, University of Lethbridge, Canada'This well-structured Handbook edited by Stefan Markovic, Cristina Sancha, and Adam Lindgreen is an important step forward in our understanding of sustainability-driven business strategies. Sustainability is one of the most critical issues of the 21st century for businesses and societies. The Handbook begins with definitional materials and ends with selected case studies.

Both researchers and practitioners will find lots of new insights and recommendations concerning sustainability-driven business strategies.' -- Duane Windsor, Rice University, US'Addressing sustainability issues is one of the key mission of enterprises in the coming decades.

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘This rich and inspiring book provides a collection of chapters that offer a very timely and critical reminder of the value created through women’s entrepreneurship. Under the guidance of Yousafzai, Henry, Boddington, Sheikh and Fayolle, the reader is encouraged to really reflect on what influences and constrains the growth of women’s entrepreneurship. At the same time, we are introduced to real insight into how women’s entrepreneurship plays out and is practiced in a variety of different and very interesting contexts. I am confident that this Research Handbook will be valued by many communities across the world and will provide the foundation for furthering real knowledge and understanding. I applaud the authors and editors for their exceptional and inspiring work.’ -- Sarah Jack, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden'The holistic perspective on value creation through women’s entrepreneurship that this comprehensive book spotlights, has been long overdue. Perceptive multi-level organization of the collection brings fine-grained insights on how women’s entrepreneurial activity can create value at four different levels – the individual, business, household and societal levels. A must-read for challenging underperformance notions of women entrepreneurs and enlightened evidence-based policymaking.' -- Anne de Bruin, Massey University, New Zealand‘The Research Handbook of Women’s Entrepreneurship and Value Creation is a long overdue and much welcome addition to our growing body of work on women’s entrepreneurship. The chapters included in this book provide a global perspective on the ways in which women-owned firms contribute value above and beyond commonly cited financial measures. Together, authors representing a diverse array of geographic regions show us how women entrepreneurs create not only economic value but also social value for their countries, communities, families, and for other women through their leadership and example.’ -- Susan Coleman, University of Hartford, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Research Handbook of Women’s Entrepreneurship and Value Creation 1 Shumaila Yousafzai, Colette Henry, Monique Boddington, Shandana Sheikh and Alain Fayolle PART I VALUE CREATION AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL 1 Women in Ethiopia: creating value through entrepreneurship 24 Atsede Tesfaye Hailemariam, Konjit Hailu Gudeta, Brigitte Kroon and Marloes van Engen 2 Evaluating the contribution of entrepreneurship training, perceived emancipation and value creation for rural female entrepreneurs in Uganda 37 Sylvia K.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Sociological Science
Book SynopsisThe Handbook of Sociological Science offers a refreshing, integrated perspective on research programs and ongoing developments in sociological science. It highlights key shared theoretical and methodological features, thereby contributing to progress and cumulative growth of sociological knowledge.Trade Review‘The Handbook of Sociological Science offers an overview of theories, models, and methods in sociology including future developments with an explicit focus on a scientific approach to sociological inquiry.’ -- R.M., Population and Development Review‘This is an ambitious, comprehensive, and much-needed Handbook that aims to bring back rigor to the current practice of sociology. The emphasis is on rigor, not old battles of theory versus empiricism or quantitative versus qualitative research. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to conduct or understand sociological research.’ -- Yu Xie, Bert G. Kerstetter ‘66 University Professor of Sociology, Princeton University and Visiting Chair Professor of Center for Social Research, Peking University‘This ambitious book tackles the challenge posed by the fragmentation of 21st-century sociology. Arguing that knowledge accumulation is possible if sociologists reach consensus on a common core of methodological standards, the authors construct a tent large enough to encompass multiple subfields and theoretical approaches. The result is inspired sociological research at its best.’ -- Mary C. Brinton, Reischauer Institute Professor of Sociology, Harvard University‘This Handbook covers substantive areas from sociogenomics to climate change and methodological issues from causal inference with observational data to rigorous ethnography and reproducibility. This is sociology at its best.’ -- Karl Ulrich Mayer, Max Planck Institute for Human Development Berlin and Yale University‘The Handbook of Sociological Science: Contributions to Rigorous Sociology seeks to demonstrate that explanatory sociology is possible, even with the diversity of opinion about the prospects of scientific sociological inquiry. The editors and authors use the rubric—rigorous sociology—to avoid arousing the overdrawn debates revolving around whether or not sociology can be a true science. The editors clearly understand the fragmented nature of much sociology and, thus, have sought to collect 26 chapters from scholars working in different areas of specialization using different methodologies and theoretical frameworks to illustrate that sociology can have, at the very least, a consistent core of shared methodologies and theoretical approaches that can integrate rather than divide and partition sociological inquiry.Every serious sociologist pursuing knowledge about the nature of the social universe—whether graduate student, academic scholar, practitioner, and even interested lay scholars—will find this book useful because it illustrates rather than preaches what a rigorous approach to assembling can produce: a large body of cumulative knowledge about the fundamental properties and processes of the social universe. Most of the authors in this volume seek in their own unique ways to be rigorous in their empirical and theoretical investigations, whether at the micro, meso, or macro levels of human social organization. The nature of theorizing in sociology can thus vary in style and focus, as can the methodologies used to test theories or to report empirical data, but in the end, the simple criterion of rigor will integrate rather than divide scholarship in the discipline and, indeed, the social sciences as a whole.Thus, whatever the level of inquiry (micro, meso, or macro), whatever the methodological approach (qualitative or quantitative, experimental or ethnographic) for collecting data, and whatever the scope, range, and modes of theorizing (formal or discursive), there must be rigor in how knowledge is to be accumulated; and this rigor will contribute to a science of sociology that unites rather than divides sociologists. Sociology and sociologists can thus be diverse in their approaches and orientations but still have a common or shared purpose to explain theoretically how the social universe operates and to verify these explanations with diverse collections of data. For, in reality, most sociologists share a common interest in achieving this goal through a variety of routes, and if modes of inquiry and theorizing are rigorous, then sociology can become more coherent and scientific. Commitment to rigorous analysis is what will unite the diversity of approaches and topics in sociology. And indeed, what the chapters of this book clearly illustrate is that there are many ways to be rigorous but, at the same time, pursuit of rigor will ultimately realize the ultimate goal of all of the social sciences: explaining the operative dynamics of the social universe. And, if sociologists commit to the rigor involved in achieving this goal, they will be in a better position to use knowledge in applied applications for human and societal betterment.’ -- Jonathan H.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook on Transnationalism
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘In this rich compendium, Yeoh and Collins bring together leading scholars of transnationalism to look afresh at this important topic. Exploring both new empirical cases and new concepts, the authors provide novel insights into transnational relations and processes. This is a must-read book for those interested in cross-border interactions in the contemporary era.’ -- Katharyne Mitchell, University of California, Santa Cruz, US‘Since the turn of the millennium, transnationalism has gradually taken its place as a key concept in social science. This welcome new Handbook provides fresh overviews alongside critical advances concerning a range of ever-salient, if not increasingly significant, theoretical understandings of transformative cross-border phenomena.’ -- Steven Vertovec, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany‘An up-to-date, invaluable mapping of the causes and consequences of social life across borders. The contributions to this volume go far beyond mobility and migration. They use a transnational lens to understand a range of institutions, processes, and relationships that have not been brought together before, including youth, labor unions, urbanization, and emotions. By doing so, they challenge fundamental assumptions about how identity, community, governance, and rights actually work in this early part of the twenty-first century. Theoretically rich and carefully argued, this Handbook is a welcome synthesis of this ever-more-present, dynamic understanding of social relations.’ -- Peggy Levitt, Wellesley College, US‘This is an invaluable collection of voices from the field of transnationalism research. The volume offers a rich new lexicon based on innovative case studies that will set the agenda for conceptualising transnationalism in years to come.’ -- Parvati Raghuram, The Open University, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to Handbook on Transnationalism 1 Brenda S.A.
