Book SynopsisCapturing years of innovation within contemporary action research, Hilary Bradbury highlights where action research for transformations (ART) is directed: towards responding to climate change and achieving global sustainability goals. Paying particular attention to social justice, the book brings together the human and social sciences, exploring the impact action research can make.Chapters introduce a metamodel and quality choicepoints around which pioneering techniques are displayed. Illustrated with rich personal cases throughout, the book examines agents of change who are also subjects of change. With a strong relational focus, the book also utilizes these cases to show how a broad uptake of ART for policy, health and social care, education, and management looks in practice. This book will be a vital tool for social science researchers looking to better understand social science as a participatory practice, as well as the methods and importance of action research. Community organizers, policy makers and activists seeking to become more active in realizing a more sustainable world will also find this to be an invigorating read.Trade Review‘Bradbury’s alternative approach to knowledge-creation invites educators and change leaders to combine leadership, collaboration and “a social laboratory of action” for finding creative local solutions with global ripple effects to construct a sustainable future. Visualizing how brilliant visionary ideas are connected to grounded practical steps, readers committed to a transformational participatory worldview leave the book inspired, but most importantly, knowing exactly how to do this work.’ -- Sonia M. Ospina, New York University, US‘For anyone involved in transformational processes for a more sustainable world – whatever your role might be, whatever scale you are operating on or whatever the context is – this book is a must and one of a kind. We get rich, reflexive, practical as well as philosophical perspectives on the key components of ART, Action Research for Transformation. The many voices, experiences and stories combined with easy-to-understand practices will help you advance the never-ending learning journey to become a better ARTist. This is also a book that you will return to repeatedly for continuous inspiration and learning; a vast resource to bring with you in whatever transformational initiatives you are involved in.’ -- Svante Lifvergren, MD., Ph.D., Development Director, Skaraborg hospital group and Affiliated Lecturer, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden‘This book builds on Hilary Bradbury’s years of scholarship and practice as an action researcher with an expertise in organisational development, and a particular interest in sustainable development. Action Research for Transformations is a form of action research that is evolving in response to the eco-social crises that we face. Using an innovative model which integrates relational, conceptual and experimental spaces, she develops a values-based approach to social learning which creates a bridge between community and university, action research and sustainability. This is a must-read book for any person who is wishing to learn how to integrate personal development with positive social change for the benefit of self and society.’ -- Joan Walton, York St John University, UK‘Long an expert curator of crucial handbooks, here we meet more of Bradbury herself, micro practices that can move quickly into intermediate and macro spaces of transformation. Highly relevant to planners, both citizen and professional, Bradbury offers a scaffolding to push us beyond personal, political or disciplinary biases and generate relational spaces genuinely receptive to diversity. A good read, in addition to seriously enhancing our repertoire of how to foster transformations for just sustainabilities in our sadly divided world.’ -- Lake Sagaris, Pontificia Universidad Catòlica, Chile‘Hilary Bradbury has made many important contributions to the field of action research over some decades. Yet, I found this book to be her most interesting piece of writing. It is experimental in form and successfully mixes stories of real-world change processes, with auto-biographical reflection and conceptual analysis in a way which really made me think. The book is an erudite and passionate articulation of pathways to action at a time when the world urgently needs to nurture the “proliferating micro worlds” that she describes.’ -- Danny Burns, Institute of Development Studies, The University of Sussex, UK‘Mother Earth is burning, drowning, and asphyxiating. Action Research for social Transformation (ART) usefully steps into this planetary peril. ART is knowledge as social practice that rouses us from our sleepwalking and offers grassroot solutions to the environmental crisis. Bradbury shares examples of transformative work in communities including the “cocinas convergentes” (Convergent kitchens) in Medellin, Colombia; the International Development ARTists in Asia and America working to transform local cultures; and the ARTists at the USC Center for Sustainable Cities in partnership with the port of Los Angeles tackling pollution implicated in childhood asthma to name a few. For anyone concerned about the prospect for life on earth, this book is a must- read.’ -- Nathalis Wamba, Queens College, City University of New York, US‘In facing the global environmental crises, the publication of this book is very timely. Action research transformation (ART) provides us with an alternative research strategy to explore multiple methods and create practical knowledge of how to respond to the various problems caused by global capitalism. I highly appreciate Hilary’s work which will spearhead the new direction of action research globally and create positive transformations in different parts of the world.’ -- Benjamin H.B. Ku, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China‘We are learning that the activation of a generative social field is held by a sense of shared aspiration — or as Hilary Bradbury puts it in this book, by a sense of “developmental friendship.” It’s a partnership and a friendship that is not to be confused with socializing. That is precisely why this book matters so much. It tells us why the integration of these things is so important: methods and tools, practice fields, and generative holding spaces. It helps us to broaden and deepen the movement of change makers that use Action Research for Transformation (ART) to evolve our systems and ourselves as needed by the challenges we face.‘With keen interest I have followed Hilary Bradbury’s work on action research for over twenty years. Action Research Transformation (ART) forms a new chapter. While pragmatic in its aims, its socio-political values – for sustainability conjoined with social justice – are center stage. Conceptually informed and context sensitive, ART is distinguished in its specific focus on action for a sustainable world. The practice of ART is a call to global consciousness of the imperative for collaborative action. My dearest hope is that the present work moves us toward this end.’ -- Kenneth J. Gergen, The Taos Institute, US‘Our circumstances are a multilayered contradiction which include stepping beyond good-bad polarities. You-I-we are all such paradoxes. You’ll find referenced in How to do Action Research Transformations conceptual frames which make sense of our contemporary disorientation. How to do Action Research Transformations offers radical, more manageable, assistance to evolve our capacities at this time of eco-social meta-crises.’ -- Simon Divecha, formerly of Greenpeace‘The practice of ART, a form of increasingly popular social science, is also community learning. It explicitly links personal development and sustainable development. It lessens the wall between academia and community leadership. It gets our universities re-involved with the reason they exist, namely, to serve society. I see in ART the opportunity and challenge to develop in spaces between communities and university settings, involving many more developmentally flourishing people and community. And so I add my encouragement – more ART, more ARTists please.’ -- Tomas Bjorkman, Ekskäret Foundation, SwedenTable of ContentsContents: Foreword: ART revitalizes social science by Kenneth J.

It focuses on cross-cultural research in the social sciences where researchers who are often from Western, educated and rich backgrounds are conducting research with individuals from different socio-cultural settings that are often non-Western, illiterate and poor.Covering both theoretical perspectives as well as practical ways to conduct research in cross-cultural settings, the contributors explore research work across Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe and North America. Chapters provide keen insights into Indigenous research methods and approaches to cross-cultural research with a range of different groups of Indigenous peoples, highlighting the ethical and methodological challenges for researchers conducting cross-cultural research. Top scholars in the field suggest practical tips and information on lessons they have learnt to make this a useful tool kit for early-career researchers and students.This will be a critical read for students of development studies, transnational studies and anthropology who are interested in pursuing cross-cultural research in diverse settings. It is also an invigorating read for researchers who conduct cross-cultural research as well as those who work with people from ethnic minorities and refugees.Trade Review‘The book provides an impressive and comprehensive set of views and methodological perspectives on how to be a true respectful and culturally sensitive cross-cultural researcher. Pranee Liamputtong has assembled a diverse group of contributors that include academics, field researchers and indigenous people; describing different approaches that range from community art to gardening. A must read!’ -- Maurizio Trevisan, VinUniversity, Vietnam‘This seminal book makes the critical contribution that cross-cultural research traditions are valid on and of their own. It is a major deconstruction of research approaches that privilege coloniality perspectives, challenging the predominant western research approaches and interpretations, and inviting alternative research culture values and orientations. Readers will gain new insights on the undoing of the neo-colonial polemics that inclusiveness and diversity in scholarly traditions is not just politics interfering with research practices, but that the research enterprise in the social sciences, like the personal, is political. The book makes the compelling argument that imported research traditions to cultural communities underplay or are dismissive of the real harm of coloniality to constructing authentic knowledge of and for cultural communities. This Handbook makes a clear, logical build-up to theoretical and conceptual frameworks of cross-cultural research approaches in the context of contemporary literature and elaborates on the implications of indigenist traditions for research practice, training, policy, and future directions.’ -- Elias Mpofu, University of North Texas, US; University of Sydney, Australia; and University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa‘Professor Liamputtong has created a landmark work that will be essential reading for ALL researchers. This book addresses the most complex challenges we have in international research today – of equity, diversity, inclusion, indigeneity, and accessibility. A powerful and needed work for the times.’ -- Allan Kellehear, University of Vermont, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface xvi 1 Conducting cross-cultural research qualitatively in social science: setting the scene 1 Pranee Liamputtong PART I THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS 2 Grounded ontologies: Indigenous methodologies in qualitative cross-cultural research 26 Marnee Shay, Grace Sarra and Annette Woods 3 Doing decolonial and indigenist research: a reflection 40 Lieketseng Ned, Mpoe Johannah Keikelame and Leslie Swartz 4 Kaupapa Māori research 56 Fiona Cram and Anna Adcock 5 Cultural insider–outsider: reflecting on positionality in shared and differing identities 85 Sonya Corbin Dwyer and Jennifer L.

Book SynopsisThe Handbook of Feminist Research Methodologies in Management and Organization Studies focuses on the interlinkages between feminist theories, methodologies and research methods. This groundbreaking Handbook analyses classic feminist theoretical texts and their methodological implications as well as topical approaches to management and organization studies, including postcolonial feminism, critical race theory and new feminist materialisms. The book discusses what kind of methodological and methods-related concerns different theoretical approaches call forth and highlights them through empirical examples. Featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field of management and organization studies, the book examines knowledge production through different theoretical perspectives, including standpoint feminism, feminist post-structuralism, postcolonial feminism and queer analysis. Providing a critical and analytical lens through which to view traditional research practices, it offers insight into how to tackle ethical and practical issues related to feminist research. This book is a vital resource for graduate and postgraduate students in management and organization as well as gender and management. It also provides feminist scholars with a comprehensive overview of the contemporary debates in the field. The book is a key resource for any student and scholar engaged in qualitative methodologies and research methods in management, and organization studies and social sciences in general.Trade Review‘In this foray through Feminist Research Methodologies in Management and Organization Studies, Katila, Meriläinen and Bell have managed to astutely show the plurality, richness and political urgency of employing feminist methods that challenge the nature and process of knowledge production. The book is populated with many of my favourite writers and feminists who deftly show the complexity and possibility in feminist research. Stretching these horizons is essential for broadening and deepening our understanding of organizations and creating better worlds that benefit us all. It certainly succeeds in its aim to provide inspiration and support to scholars interested in feminist methodologies and is a must-read for those working in this space.’ -- Sheena Vachhani, University of Bristol, UK‘Given the rise of feminist thinking and research in the field of management and organization studies, this volume is an essential, timely resource for understanding the intricate relationships among feminist theories, epistemologies, and methodologies. The chapters illuminate the theoretical pluralities, responsibilities, ethics, and situatedness of producing feminist knowledge within a context of persistent global gender equalities shaped by race, class, sexuality, location, and other forms of marginalization.’ -- Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa‘Superbly organized and crafted, this volume offers a clear feminist research and activism path for organization and management scholars to follow, appreciating the past, engaging with the present, and opening possibilities for desirable futures.

Book SynopsisThe Handbook of Research Methods in Organizational Change offers innovative and practical information to aid in the successful implementation of research methodologies. Written by a collective of experienced scholars, it provides inspiration for future academics wishing to advance research into human system changes. Presenting traditional, modern and potential future research methods within the field of organizational change and development, the Handbook offers practical guidance on how to carry out a wide range of different research methods, from rapid response to action research. Chapters explore the methods aligned with the phenomena of organizational change, as well as the various ontologies, epistemologies, frameworks, and values that researchers of organizational change adopt. The Handbook ultimately calls for the discipline to challenge existing paradigms and rethink its approaches to advancing knowledge regarding organizational change. This stimulating Handbook will be valuable for students and scholars of business and innovation hoping to conduct research into what transformational change on such a grand scale requires. Its expert insights will also be beneficial for scholars of interconnected disciplines such as sociology and psychology.Trade Review‘With their invitation to revitalize how we research change, this edited volume by David Szabla, David Coghlan, Bill Pasmore, and Jennifer Kim challenges all of us to think and rethink a pathway forward on perpetual research method questions (and problems.) As a practical, useful, and timely addition to what we often think we know and what we already do, the volume is just what is needed as the world deals with even more change and turbulence in the current organizational and societal climate. Whether you are a serious scholar, a pragmatic practitioner, or anything in between, the topics raised speak to how our work can engage and lead conversations on researching change and its practice.’ -- Gavin Schwarz, UNSW Sydney, Australia‘Given the rapidly escalating call for evidence-based knowledge in management and organizations, the Handbook of Research Methods in Organizational Change could not have come at a more crucial time. This is especially the case for research-based understanding of organization change, where fads, testimonials, and opinions have long steered knowledge in the field. The Handbook offers a comprehensive and up-to-date account of research methods for developing valid knowledge of all stages and facets of organization change. I heatedly applaud the Handbook contributors for bringing the organization change field onto more solid evidence-based footing.’ -- Thomas G.

Book SynopsisOffering a practical guide on How to be an Ethnographer, this book will be a valuable resource for advanced students and early career researchers of organization studies, anthropology and sociology. It will also be a useful introduction to scholars exploring ethnography as a new research method. This book explores the aims, main methods, and ethical and methodological standards of ethnography. Placing human beings at the centre, it showcases why ethnography is a valuable method of research. Highlighting the importance of ethnographic engagement as a means to learn about different ways of being human, the book employs a range of case studies from researchers at all career stages to provide examples of different methods used in research projects. Going beyond tools and techniques, the authors discuss moral and methodological principles as well as community related modes that are important in conducting ethnography.Trade Review‘How to Be an Ethnographer, written by Monika Kostera and Paweł Krzyworzeka, is an important work that provides unique, timely, and exceptional insights into the practice of ethnography. The authors provide a new chapter in the history of ethnography, encompassing theories and methods of conducting ethnography not only in anthropology, but also management and organization studies, by putting them in dialogue with one another. The volume introduces a state-of-the-art ethnography: an imaginative approach that is interdisciplinary, embodied, open-ended, reflexive as well as attends to how ethnographic practices are shaped by researcher’s professional and personal lives – from disciplinary norms and academic communities, to family and safety concerns, to issues of access. Vignettes from fieldwork illuminate the entire ethnographic journey from initial expectations to discovering less obvious aspects of everyday life in the field. The chapters in the book structured around different methods and principals – observing, sensing, studying up and down, and representing – will enable both experienced and aspiring ethnographers to develop a practice that will deepen and develop their ethnographic inquiry.’ -- Melissa S. Fisher, NYU Institute for Public Knowledge and School of Professional Studies, US‘This book on how to “do” ethnography written by Monika Kostera and Paweł Krzyworzeka offers a unique collection of chapters written by a number of scholars expertly engaged with this methodology and method. The reader will be able to enjoy considerable richness of knowledge and experience through book chapters written not only on specific methods linked to ethnography, but also on related processes, theories, practicalities and less explored topics pertaining to ethnographic research.’ -- Ilaria Boncori, University of Essex, UK‘How to be an Ethnographer delivers a powerful tour de force of ethnographic essentials. This valuable work is a profoundly insightful exploration of state-of-the-art ethnographic approaches, including multi-sited ethnography, visual ethnography, and the role of art. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of ethnography as a research tradition and show why consideration of this practice only as a method is insufficient. The volume covers the history of ethnography and major figures in the field. Key developments that moved the practice from the 19th to the 21st centuries are reviewed in depth. Valuable insights into the work of native ethnographers, both advantages and drawbacks are included, which are aimed at students who may be contemplating ethnography in their own cultures. A discussion of methods offers nuances of practices that may be taken for granted, such as issues that arise when interviewees read about themselves in ethnographic writing. It also describes intriguing field work experiences such as the “guerilla activities” of middle managers and potential consequences. The volume is especially useful for organizational ethnographers. Vignettes from fieldwork contain memorable details such as the role of gatekeepers. The authors explain why formal informed consent does not build trust and what should be done to establish and deepen relationships in the field. The volume is highly recommended for professionals teaching ethnography and students studying the practice. It includes numerous vignettes written by students based upon their own ethnographic research. Overall, How to Be an Ethnographer is an engaging textbook that will strengthen education in anthropology and beyond.’ -- Marietta Baba, Michigan State University and Foundation for Women and Children Enslaved in War, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis thoroughly revised second edition presents up-to-date analysis from various academic streams and disciplines that illuminate our understanding of employee voice from a range of different perspectives. This wide-ranging Handbook demonstrates that research on employee voice has gone beyond union and non-union voices to build a wider and deeper knowledge base. Exploring the previously under-represented paradigm of the organizational behaviour approach, new chapters take account of a broader conceptualization of employee voice. Written by expert contributors, this Handbook explores the meaning and impact of employee voice for various stakeholders and considers the ways in which these actors engage with voice processes such as collective bargaining, individual processes, mutual gains, task-based voice and grievance procedures. This comprehensive Handbook will enable the reader to engage with the debates surrounding employee voice and help to extend our overall understanding of what goes on in workplaces at the heart of modern economies. This second edition of the Handbook of Research on Employee Voice will be a vital resource for academics and students researching human resource management, organizational behaviour and employment relations, while its forward-thinking approach will also appeal to policy makers, employers and union officials.

Book SynopsisThis stimulating book considers the ways in which historical jurisprudence deserves to be rethought, arguing that there is much more to the history of legal thought than the ideas, and ideology, of the nineteenth and early twentieth century jurists, such as Karl von Savigny and Sir Henry Maine.In doing so, Geoffrey Samuel looks at the history of legal thought, method and reasoning from the position of three questions that will help readers to reflect on the nature of legal knowledge. First, what has legal knowledge been in the past? Secondly, taking a cue from the work of Thomas Kuhn, have there been scientific revolutions in the history of law? Thirdly, do jurists today know more about law as a body of knowledge than jurists of the past? In other words, does the history of law reveal a body of cumulative knowledge? This nuanced book shows how, in re-examining legal knowledge from a diachronic perspective, historical jurisprudence can be rethought as a domain concerned with contemporary legal epistemology.Ambitious in its scope, Rethinking Historical Jurisprudence will be a key resource for students and scholars in the fields of legal philosophy, legal theory and history and research methods in law.Trade Review‘Geoffrey Samuel is a leading legal comparatist and epistemologist whose decades-long scholarship has made fundamental contributions to the nature and dynamics of legal reasoning in both Common and Civil law jurisdictions. Rethinking Historical Jurisprudence represents a major step along Samuel’s rich intellectual path. It makes a compelling – and much-needed – case for reconsidering what amounts to ”historical legal thought”. Learned yet accessible, >Rethinking Historical Jurisprudence is a must-read for all those interested in the history and epistemology of legal reasoning.’ -- ’– Luca Siliquini-Cinelli, University of Dundee, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction to historical jurisprudence 1.

Book SynopsisMaking a key contribution to the contemporary debate about methods in European legal research, this comprehensive book looks behind different methodologies to explore the institutional, disciplinary, and political conflicts that shape questions of ‘method’ or ‘approach’ in European legal scholarship. Offering a new perspective on the underlying politics of method, it identifies four core dimensions of methodological struggle in legal research – the politics of questions, the politics of answers, the politics of legal audiences, and the politics of the concept of law.Chapters explore how methodological choices impact the questions legal scholars ask, the answers they seek, the audiences for and to whom they speak, and ultimately their understanding of the legal and the social world. Leading contributors uncover the framing discourses, institutional inertias, and political pressures that shape research questions, while assessing the effects of importing social science methods into legal research, and how audiences of legal research and education shape our understanding of law.Concluding with a reflection on the continued, if qualified, relevance of formal doctrinal methods for European legal research, this thought-provoking book will be a key resource for students and scholars of law and politics, research methods and European law. Trade Review‘This book illustrates that the European methodological strife is in full swing, that the stakes are as high as we secretly suspected, and that everyone debates with their fingers crossed. If there will be a happy ending to it, this will be largely due to the sincere effort of the editors and the contributors.’ -- Urska Sadl, European University Institute, Italy‘This thrilling and timely book digs deep into the current crises of European legal research—its methods, aims, and effects. Striving for greater self-awareness and offering a variety of perspectives on legal thought (philosophy, pedagogy, politics, and more), the chapters address the crucial questions: Who or what is legal research for? What do its conventional iterations accomplish (and not)? Through what venues of critical self-inquiry might legal research open up more creative lines of intellectual and political advent? Focused throughout on the politics of legal research, the chapters are intellectually scrupulous, methodologically astute, and invariably insightful.’ -- Pierre Schlag, University of Colorado, US‘Too often European legal scholars portray methodological questions as neutral, objective, and apolitical. The Politics of European Legal Research instead shows that methodological choices are inseparable from battles within legal academia around prestige, ideology, and power.’ -- Fernanda G.

Book SynopsisThis Research Handbook includes carefully chosen contributions to provide a well-rounded perspective on design thinking. Encouraging debate and development for future research in design conceptualisation, this forward-thinking Handbook raises crucial questions about what design thinking is and what it could be. With thirty-six expert contributors representing a wide range of disciplines, this Research Handbook contains seventeen chapters structured into three thematic parts to explore the people, processes, and practices of design thinking. Method case studies demonstrate how design thinking has been implemented across different disciplines and contexts. Challenging current design methodologies, chapters move beyond outcome-focused perspectives to examine the diverse range of processes employed for design research. While each chapter provides a novel perspective on design practice, read as an entire work, it continuously challenges the reader to reposition their perspectives. The Handbook unpacks the creative process by isolating each stage and examining them in detail, tracing success through empirical evidence back to design origins.The Research Handbook on Design Thinking provides an overview of the field’s history, theoretical approaches, key concepts, perspectives, and methods. It is well-suited to academics and practitioners interested in the development of design thinking theory and the different perspectives traversing theory through to practice globally.Trade Review‘The Research Handbook on Design Thinking is a helpful and intriguing read for those who want to further their knowledge of design thinking. The experts who are included in this book provide a wide variety of content, and overall, a holistic examination of design thinking, that allows the reader to gain insights with every chapter.’ -- Lorraine Justice, Rochester Institute of Technology, US'In the Research Handbook on Design Thinking, Karla Straker and Cara Wrigley reaffirm their already proven expertise in design thinking by assembling seventeen pertinent essays from thirty-six authors. From how-to applications and case studies to experiments in neuroscience, topics range from current practices to future forecasts. All convincingly highlight the importance of harnessing the power of creative thought.

Book SynopsisThis invaluable and timely book provides a comprehensive “Conflict Prevention and Friction Analysis (CPFA) Model” for researching comparative law in our increasingly technology-led legal and economic order. It provides an in-depth examination of practical case studies, showcasing the real-world application of quantitative methods and theoretical approaches for analysing legal issues. Over the course of this insightful book, Pier Giuseppe Monateri and Mauro Balestrieri thoroughly investigate the theory that the intention of law is not just to resolve conflicts, but to prevent their occurrence. Chapters critically analyse the historical and contemporary issues in quantitative methods, examine the main themes and approaches involved in quantitative and comparative law discussions, and present original research to illustrate key ideas. Providing an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws on insights and methodologies from other fields beyond law, including economics, statistics and political science. This authoritative book is an essential resource for students and scholars of comparative law, empirical legal studies and research methods. It will also benefit law clerks, legal advisors and policymakers.Trade Review‘Does law exist? If it does, one nevertheless cannot see it. But what one can see, say these two leading Italian academics, is a whole range of quantifiable effects that attach to law. It is these empirical effects that the authors employ as a comparative methodological approach which, they argue, avoids the impressionistic models founded on culture and on ‘ideological pipe dreams’. A controversial book? Undoubtedly so, but one that is so important and well argued that no serious comparative lawyer and (or) legal epistemologist will ever be able to ignore it.’ -- Geoffrey Samuel, Kent Law School, UK‘Was our critical horizon not that of incommensurability, as the world order was insidiously overtaken by neoliberal “metric legality”? Taking us by complete surprise, this brilliant political-legal model of “friction theory” uses quantitative methods to understand social approaches to law and their (often perverse...) effects in the empirical world.’ -- Horatia Muir Watt, Sciences Po Paris, FranceTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I GENEALOGIES AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES 1 Quantitative genealogy: the rise of numeric comparative law: Mauro Balestrieri 2 The metric legality: jurimetrics, legal cybernetics, and governance by indicators: Mauro Balestrieri PART II THINKING WITH MODELS 3 Thinking law with numbers: models of legal quantification: Pier Giuseppe Monateri 4 Quantitative frictional analysis of political order: Pier Giuseppe Monateri Conclusion: friction and the law: Pier Giuseppe Monateri and Mauro Balestrieri References Index

Book SynopsisIntroducing the idea of conversational storytelling interviewing (CSI) as an 'indirect' method of interviewing, David Boje and Grace Ann Rosile explore this innovative methodological framework as a way for respondents to tell their own story, without resorting to structured or semi-structured interviews. Bringing together theory, method and praxis of storytelling in an iterative process of self-correcting induction, How to Use Conversational Storytelling Interviews for Your Dissertation offers researchers ways to move beyond the bystander role, urging them to be co-creators of their findings. Complete with exercises to train practitioners in new methods of inquiry and in-depth discussions of an array of philosophical issues, this illuminating book illustrates how rigorous self-correcting methods move inquiry from conversation to storytelling science. Pioneering in both method and framework, this book is a crucial guide for using CSI in qualitative research for PhD students and researchers in management and organizational studies. Scholars of feminist and indigenous studies and other critical studies fields will benefit from alternative interviewing methods as these disciplines undergo an ontological turn.Trade Review'Over several decades David Boje and Grace Ann Rosile have been characterized as the theorists' theorists, the methodologists' methodologists and the practitioners' practitioners. Their latest book - How to Use Conversational Storytelling Interviews for Your Dissertation - lives up to that characterization. The book introduces their latest iteration and development of storytelling as ''conversational storytelling interviewing'', which, they contend, is an alternative to semi-structured interviewing. With its readability and clear, detailed enunciation, this book is destined to be a major influence on a new generation of scholars.' --Albert J.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Research Handbook explores empirical legal studies of intellectual property law. It covers research from four continents and offers unique conclusions to aid in the creation and understanding of policies and legislation. By combining research from both leading experts and up-and-coming scholars, this expansive Research Handbook examines the four main intellectual property rights: patent, trademark, design and copyright, as well as trade secrets. Chapters provide cutting-edge empirical data and projections on legislation and case law, using quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews, descriptive and inferential statistics. The Research Handbook on Empirical Studies in Intellectual Property Law will be highly beneficial for scholars and advanced students of intellectual property, in both legal and economic disciplines, and will inspire new research directions. Practitioners and policymakers will also be interested as the chapters offer statistics on which client advice and policymaking can be based.Trade Review‘The Research Handbook on Empirical Studies in Intellectual Property Law makes a welcome and timely contribution to the field given increasing interest in using empirical methods to study IP law and its effect on innovation, competition, and access to knowledge. The Handbook shows how empirical methods contribute to knowledge and can complement and refine theoretical or normative arguments about IP. The Research Handbook is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the field.' -- Matthew Sag, Emory University, US‘In this thought-provoking collection, Professor Derclaye and an expert cast of contributors showcase the importance of empirical methods for specific types of intellectual property questions. Empirical legal research prioritises the importance of law in action, in turn feeding into judicial deliberation and evidence-based policymaking. These pages contain rich pickings, both qualitative and quantitative. The reader will find studies of litigation strategies as well as appellate adjudication trends, alongside scholarship tracing the ripple effects of landmark decisions in subsequent doctrine. For registration ecosystems, there are revelations on the strategic preferences of patent applicants, registered design survival rates when challenged and the uses to which trade mark registration data can be put. Qualitative research draws in the perspectives of users of the IP system, from the motivations of design applicants to how cultural institutions give practical form and substance to fuzzy copyright exceptions. The relatively unfamiliar-because-undocumented topic of licensing practices is found within these pages, as are studies on remedies. Beyond this research providing empirical answers to discrete questions, the volume also contains valuable literature reviews synthesising the empirical research in individual domains, such as copyright. As one would expect, there is the expected attentiveness to methodology as well as the quality of data sources. This book will be valued not only for its breadth of subject matter coverage – plant varieties and trade secrets feature – but also its jurisdictional coverage, given the relative novelty of this mode of research. Undoubtedly a welcome and enduring reference point for all such future scholarship.’ -- Dev S. Gangjee, University of Oxford, UK‘This is a highly valuable reference work for those interested in empirical research in IP law. The collection showcases some fascinating empirical projects in the areas of patents, trade secrets, plant variety rights, copyright, trade marks and designs, primarily from the U.S., EU, Australia and China. The book also signposts avenues for future empirical research and provides useful lessons in how to tackle the challenges of different empirical methods.’ -- Tanya Aplin, King's College London, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction xi PART I PATENTS AND PLANT VARIETY RIGHTS 1 Studying patent infringement litigation 2 Jason Rantanen 2 Legal empirical studies of patenting and patent licensing practices 27 Esther van Zimmeren 3 The Australian ‘Valley of Death’?

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Research Handbook explores the wide variety of work conducted in legal semiotics, providing a thorough understanding of how the law works through signs and symbols. Demonstrating that the law is a strategical system of fluctuating signs, contributors critically analyse the ever-evolving conceptualisations of law and legal discourse.Bringing together leading international experts, this Research Handbook focuses on the material, everyday forms of law comprised by non-verbal legal semiotics. Contributors conduct culturally nuanced semiotic analyses of the modern world, covering topics from COVID-19, religion, and human rights, to comic books and music. Chapters consider the foundations of semiotics, as well as the philosophy of law, identifying the cross-cultural similarities in how legal semiotics and visual legal semiotics intersect. Ultimately, the Research Handbook demonstrates that the law is in a state of perpetual flux, with many unique dimensions only made visible by semiotic analysis.The Research Handbook on Legal Semiotics will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of law, jurisprudence, legal culture, linguistics, and semiotics. It will also be an important guide for legal practitioners seeking to better understand the nuances of the legal system. >Trade Review‘This volume is an interdisciplinary tour de force. Scholars from around the world insightfully explore diverse signs and symbols of law. For those seeking to understand law in the evolving fullness of lived experience (including its cognitive, affective, social, cultural, and political dimensions) here is the place to begin.’ -- Richard K. Sherwin, New York Law School, US‘This book provides new legal semiotics on the one hand, and fields of a deepened and revisited understanding of rules in law and legal thought formation on the other. It distances itself from traditional ideas, inviting the reader to wander in new dimensions of space, images and perspectives which were hitherto unknown in legal research.’ -- Jan M. Broekman, KU Leuven, Belgium‘Law has not only a language but also a semiotics, a system of signs, texts and meanings that seek to bring order to the relationships among human beings. Never before this volume has an attempt been made to provide an all-encompassing tool for the study of such a system. Anyone working within the perimeter of linguistic, semiotic, and social studies of law will find this volume a distinctly useful starting point and reference.’ -- Massimo Leone, University of Turin, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xviii John Brigham Preface xxiv Acknowledgements xxv Introduction: law as a strategical system of fluctuating signs 1 Anne Wagner and Sarah Marusek PART I LEGAL SEMIOTICS AS AN ARENA FOR LEGAL THOUGHTS 1 Understanding legal semiotics 11 Paolo Heritier 2 From analytical philosophy of law to legal semiotics 32 Marek Zirk-Sadowski 3 Legal philosophy and the promise(s) of legal semiotics 47 José Manuel Aroso Linhares 4 Legal semiotics, globalization, and governance 61 Larry Catá Backer 5 Legal semiotics and synaesthesia 86 Rostam J.

Book SynopsisThis practical yet cutting-edge Handbook includes both established and innovative methods for studying identity in management, organisations, and cognate fields. Incorporating a breadth of narrative, visual, ethnographic and embodied methods, as well as ways for analysing naturally occurring data, this Handbook offers exciting new interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of identity in and around organisations.Notions of identity have gained much momentum in organisation and management studies over the past 20 years, however, identity scholars tend to rely on a limited set of methods in their research. Looking beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries, the Handbook draws on ideas from management studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and the arts. With cutting-edge methods on the various facets and dynamics of identity, it is integral reading for the future progress of reflexive and dialogical social constructions for studying identity.This refreshing Handbook will be valuable to scholars and students from a variety of disciplines including business and management, psychology and sociology, but with a common interest in studying identity in and around organisations. With consistent practical methodology, consultants, facilitators and management practitioners, who aim to develop identities among individuals, groups, and organisations will also benefit widely from this.Trade Review‘The editors have brought together experienced and early career researchers from the social sciences, arts and humanities creating an excellent compilation of novel and engaging qualitative methods for studying identity in organisations. Chapters cover a range of methods offering new insights and providing sufficient detail to enable application.’ -- Mark N.K Saunders, University of Birmingham, UK‘This Handbook is highly recommended to all identity researchers. Empirically researching identity has traditionally been a swampy challenge. Readers will be inspired and spoilt for choice of intellectually well-grounded and well-guided distinct, creative and appealing approaches to data generation and analysis that have been drawn from across disciplines and are supported by practical illustrations of the method-in-use. The methods discussed facilitate empirical inquiry while at the same time enabling theory building.’ -- Kate Black, Northumbria University, the UKTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements by the editors xiii Prologue: studying identities and identity work xiv 1 Introduction to the Handbook of Research Methods for Studying Identity In and Around Organizations 1 Ingo Winkler, Rosalía Cascón-Pereira and Stefanie Reissner PART I NARRATIVE METHODS 2 Plot and storyline analysis of personal identity narratives 13 Stefanie Reissner 3 Exploring identity interplay through performative textual analysis 26 Isidora Kourti 4 Organizational small storymaking and change: identity work as coming into being in narrative story dynamics 40 Ann Starbæk Bager 5 The qualitative survey as research design in exploring organizational identity 56 Anne Crafford and Johann Mouton PART II VISUAL METHODS 6 Social dream-drawing: a socioanalytic method for studying identity work 71 Antoni Barnard 7 A picture is worth a thousand words: social identity mapping as a way of visualizing and assessing social group connections 87 Sarah V.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Research Handbook investigates the success of EU law enforcement processes. Going beyond traditional analyses of administrations and courts in isolation, it focuses on the increased cooperation seen between national and EU authorities, and on the widening variety of means used to enhance compliance with EU norms.Bringing together leading experts from law, political science, economics and socio-legal studies, this Research Handbook provides a state-of-the-art analysis of EU enforcement laws, policies, and scholarship. It presents conceptual, institutional, and sectoral perspectives on EU law enforcement, advancing existing knowledge on why, when, and how laws are being followed or disobeyed. Contributors explore enforcement in specific EU policy areas, including foreign relations, economic policy, the internal market, competitiveness, and citizen rights. It argues that an overarching EU enforcement strategy would be more successful than the current model of diverse methods of enforcement in different policy areas.Employing multi-dimensional and comparative approaches, the Research Handbook on the Enforcement of EU Law will be a valuable resource for scholars of European law and politics, public administration, governance, and compliance. It will also be a useful guide for public officials seeking to (re)design and assess effective and enforceable policies.Trade Review‘The Research Handbook on the Enforcement of EU Law is a must-read and standard reference for anyone studying how EU laws and policies are put in practice. This truly interdisciplinary, comprehensive collection of fine, in-depth scholarly contributions covers all relevant aspects of EU enforcement in many different sectors.’ -- Eva Thomann, University of Konstanz, Germany‘Offering an excellent and comprehensive overview, this Research Handbook deepens our understanding of enforcement. Using a multi-level perspective with a focus on policy sectors, it convincingly shows that enforcement is shaped by many factors, most importantly our conceptual understanding of enforcement including ideas about policy, the institutional context and the possibly conflicting interests of political actors involved. The Research Handbook enriches the current literature and forms an exciting starting point for further research.’ -- Bernard Steunenberg, Leiden University, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xii Acknowledgements xiv PART I ENFORCEMENT OF EU LAW FROM A CONCEPTUAL POINT OF VIEW 1 Introduction to Research Handbook on the Enforcement of EU Law 2 Miroslava Scholten and Leander Stähler 2 Private enforcement of EU law 19 Olha O Cherednychenko 3 Administrative law enforcement of EU law 38 Ton Duijkersloot and Rob Widdershoven 4 Criminal law enforcement of EU law and the impact of Europeanization 56 Frank Meyer and Dimitrios Tsilikis 5 Enforcement concepts and strategies in the EU 76 Jeroen van der Heijden and Olga Batura 6 Challenges in EU law enforcement and the digital age 91 Asya Zhelyazkova PART II ENFORCEMENT OF EU LAW FROM AN INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE 7 European Commission 107 Urszula Jaremba 8 The Court of Justice of the European Union and national courts as enforcers of EU law 123 Frans van Dijk and Kees Sterk 9 National enforcers and European networks as engines for enforcement cooperation 139 Eva Ruffing 10 EU enforcement agencies 152 Miroslava Scholten 11 The choice of EU agencies or networks of national authorities: exploring the relevance of regulated industry characteristics 167 Laurens van Kreij PART III ENFORCEMENT OF EU LAW FROM A SECTORAL PERSPECTIVE 12 The Common Commercial Policy and customs union 186 Thomas Verellen 13 Public and private enforcement possibilities within the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy 199 Graham Butler 14 Economic and monetary union 215 Ton van den Brink and Luca Collazzo 15 European banking union 231 Argyro Karagianni and Laura Wissink 16 Anti-money laundering 246 Christy Ann Petit 17 A power to fine: establishing negligence and intent in infringements by credit rating agencies and trade repositories 265 Jonathan Foster 18 The internal market 281 Olivier Linden 19 Labour law and social policy 298 Frans Pennings 20 Environmental law 315 Florentin Blanc, Paola Coletti, Campbell Gemmell and Carola Bertone 21 Food law 333 Florentin Blanc and Luca Megale 22 The enforcement of EU consumer law 349 Christine Riefa and Mateusz Grochowski 23 Energy law 364 Julius Rumpf and Catherine Banet 24 Enforcing common fisheries and agricultural policies 380 Federica Cacciatore, Mariolina Eliantonio and Joseph A McMahon 25 Competition law 397 Maciej Bernatt and Laura Zoboli 26 EU procurement and concessions law 414 Roberto Caranta and V’tězslava Fričov‡ 27 State aid in the European Union 430 Allard Knook 28 Intellectual property law 444 Peter Blok and Willemijn Kornelius 29 Data protection 460 Herwig Hofmann and Lisette Mustert 30 Area of freedom, security and justice 475 Stefano Montaldo 31 The Common European Asylum System 491 Salvatore Fabio Nicolosi 32 Protection of the financial interests of the EU 508 Michele Simonato and Andon Tashukov 33 Challenges and successes of enforcement of EU law 524 Miroslava Scholten Index

Book SynopsisComparative law scholars have long recognised the importance of looking beyond legal texts and incorporating interdisciplinary methods into the study of law, yet in practice such use of non-legal methods has remained modest. Interdisciplinary Comparative Law illuminates why the doctrinal approach to legal research has retained its strong position, offering a critical analysis of the difficulties of interdisciplinarity.Incisive and ambitious in scope, the book highlights why the comparative study of law benefits from employing the methods of other disciplines. Chapters explore the various ways in which different fields can learn from each other, taking a deep dive into the respective studies of legal history, linguistics, literature, economics, social theory, and international law. The result is a vibrant cross-section of the contrasts and parallels between the practices of law and other areas of research, demonstrating which are the easiest for comparatists to grasp and implement, and which present obstacles for the application of non-legal methods. This cutting-edge book is an essential read for advanced students and scholars of law and legal studies. Its diagnosis of interdisciplinarity as both a boon and bane in the study of law will be of especial interest to comparative law scholars. Trade Review‘It is a serious, and original, attempt to examine interdisciplinarity amongst the academic legal fraternity and makes many very pertinent observations, as one might expect from one of Europe’s leading comparative lawyers.’ -- Geoffrey Samuel (Kent)‘A profound meditation on how comparative law can and should overcome its “loneliness” by going beyond doctrinal study and embracing interdisciplinarity – engaging disciplines such as history, linguistics, literature, economics and social theory. The book also discusses how the comparativist studies international, transnational and global law. It maps out a paradigm shift in comparative law scholarship.’ -- Albert H.Y. Chen, University of Hong Kong‘Interdisciplinary Comparative Law provides a synoptic account of the ways in which comparative law scholars use – and misuse—the methods of other academic disciplines, economics, history, and literary theory, among others. Learned and thoughtful, with many illuminating examples and novel insights, it shows that resorting to interdisciplinarity is both unavoidable and problematic. This is a must-read for serious comparativists.’ -- Richard Kay, University of Connecticut, US‘Jaakko Husa’s book describes interdisciplinarity as a double-edged sword to the comparative study of law. This openness towards interdisciplinarity and awareness of its limitations are key features of this book. Thus, readers gain inspiring insights into a variety of other disciplines while also benefiting from Husa’s expertise as one of the most prolific comparative lawyers today.’ -- Mathias Siems, European University Institute, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisAmidst rapid and fundamental shifts in the economic, geo-political, technological, and societal landscape, this cutting-edge book makes the timeless case that research can be informed by problems in the 'real world' and make important contributions to theory and practice.Throughout the book, the authors argue that there is a 'sweet spot' where both scholarly and practical research can be done simultaneously. It offers readers insightful and rich examples of how this can be achieved, including frameworks, examples, ideas, and tools which will guide researchers in the lifelong task of defining themselves as researchers and crafting their own unique research practice. It also features critical insights into careers oriented toward having impact on practice, reflective questions that make the principles personal and relevant, and a framework to help develop the network of connections required for research to impact practice.Speaking to the graduate student in all of us, How to Do Relevant Research will greatly benefit Ph.D. students and early career academics who gravitate towards this kind of research but worry about its feasibility and instrumentality, mid-to-late career scholars who do research for practice and teach young scholars how to do it, and to researchers in a think-tank or consultancy who want their work to be scientifically sound and practically useful.Trade Review‘This book is a very powerful statement of how management research can be relevant for management practice and why that is important. I used a preprint with my doctoral students to enable them to think about how their scholarship can be both rigorous and relevant. The reflective questions scattered throughout the book are an added bonus that guide students to reflect for themselves about what matters to them about research. I strongly recommend this book for academics pondering their links with practice.’ -- Jean M. Bartunek, Boston College, US‘Minimizing the rigor-relevance trade-off is the holy grail not only of management research but for all the social sciences. This ingenious and timely book is full of actionable insights and wisdom on what its authors call “sweet spot research” as organizations confronting pervasive disruption need the research of business schools more than ever.’ -- Geoffrey Garrett, The University of Southern California, US‘How to Do Relevant Research shows how to achieve both rigor and relevance by building a solid bridge between academics in the ivory tower and practitioners in the world. It inspires meaning, purpose and action in a community of scholars where research is often void of societal relevance and filled with instrumental careerism. It provides a compelling explanation of why sweet spot research is responsible research, why it is good for everyone, and how it can inspire a collective dream of making the world a better place for all people. This book is a wonderful gift to all current and aspiring scholars, not only those in management but in all professional disciplines.’ -- Anne S. Tsui, Co-founder, Responsible Research in Business and Management (www.rrbm.network) 67 President, Academy of Management (www.aom.org); Founding President, International Association for Chinese Management Research (www.iacmr.org)‘This book is a treasure. Mirvis, Mohrman and Worley have named and confronted head-on the challenges and struggles of the research philosophies and practices in our field. Through erudite summaries, penetrating questioning and reflective exercises they have built an integrating framework that can be a transformational force in the future of organizational scholarship. This is a book, not only to be read, but also to be subjected to deep reflection and application.’ -- David Coghlan, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland‘Mirvis, Mohrman and Worley have written the definitive primer on how to do research that matters to both academics and practitioners. For those early in the journey of doing relevant research, the book is a “must read.” Clear, informative, and useful. For those with experience doing relevant research, the book is a “thankful read.” Illuminating, evocative, confirming.’ -- Thomas G. Cummings, The University of Southern California, US‘At last a book that is philosophically sound and demonstrates there is no tradeoff between rigor and relevance. How to Do Relevant Research needs to be required reading for every management and business school professor and graduate student. It gives us lots of examples of how to do research that makes a difference. This will be the saving grace of business schools – if people pay attention.’ -- R. Edward Freeman, University of Virginia, US‘If you want to make a difference to practice and theory, How to do Relevant Research by Mirvis, Mohrman and Worley is on target. I wish I had the wisdom in this book when I was a doctoral student or in early career – it would have helped me accelerate my contributions to theory and practice.’ -- Michael Beer, Harvard Business School; Co-founder TruePoint; Co-Founder Center for Higher Ambition Leadership‘This is an indispensable guide for scholars and practitioners. Mirvis, Mohrman, and Worley offer decades of exceptional experience. Their practical frameworks and vivid examples show practitioners how to tap the vast trove of useful evidence produced by scholars, and show scholars how to connect and ground their research in the pivotal issues, values, and decision frameworks used by practitioners.’ -- John Boudreau, University of Southern California, US‘An important and engaging contribution to doing research that enhances practice. More than a “how to” guide, Mirvis, Mohrman, and Worley’s years of experience in engaged research compel us to pay attention to the necessity of relevant scholarship. If you aren’t already doing and communicating useful, relevant research, this elegant book should inspire you to act. And if you are, then this exploration should energize you to build and connect.’ -- – Gavin M. Schwarz, University of New South Wales Business School, Australia‘At a time when executives seek evidence-based insight into effective practice, academics pursue opportunities for thought leadership, and accrediting bodies and funding agencies call for greater impact from research, this book guides scholars about how to best balance theory, rigor, and relevance. I strongly recommend this book to practitioner scholars and academics who are seeking to elevate their engaged scholarship and potential impact.’ -- John Mooney, Pepperdine University, US‘This is an important book on relevant and useful research that should be read by any scientist who is interested in making a difference to both practice and the academy. Based on decades of work, Mirvis, Mohrman and Worley provide a coherent roadmap for the complex and exciting journey into the borderland between academy and industry.’ -- Abraham B. (Rami) Shani, California Polytechnic State University, US and Co-Author of Collaborative Inquiry for Organization Development and Change‘Many organizational scholars, including Presidents of the Academy of Management, have urged us to do research that is both rigorous and relevant. This book shows us HOW to do this – at all academic career-phases. Coming from world-renowned scholars who have done this (and still do), this book’s refreshingly reflective and authentic tips promise to inspire and enable more organizational scholars to rigorously conduct relevant research thereby exponentially increasing the reach and impact of organizational science. This is needed now more than ever!’ -- Debra L. Shapiro, University of Maryland, US and Past President, Academy of Management (2016)‘This excellent book is must reading for anyone who wants to conduct relevant research that advances knowledge for theory and practice.

Social science researchers have a role to play in solution making but are often missing from the solution making space occupied by managers. Mirvis, Mohrman and Worley provide concrete guidance to researchers to get to the ‘sweet spot’ where knowledge produced is both relevant and rigorous. They ask us to reflect on our research paradigms and professional identity, and to find inspiration in the many examples of research-practice collaborations that they share in the book. A must-read for researchers at any stage of their career seeking to produce research insights that impact practice.’ -- Garima Sharma, Georgia State University, US‘This book is long overdue. With examples of relevant research all over the world, it enables scholars to smell the aroma of practice and practitioners to taste the cooking of academics. I recommend this work to academics around the globe. For practitioners who are venturing into the scholarly world (i.e., getting doctoral degrees), this is must have book.’ -- Baniyelme D.
