Taylor & Francis Ethics Meaningfulness and Mutuality
Book SynopsisThere is an urgent need to understand how private and public organisations can play a role in promoting human values such as fairness, dignity, respect and care. Globalisation, technological advance and climate change are changing work, organisations and systems in ways which foster inequality, alienation and collective risk. Against this backdrop, organisations are being urged to make their contribution to the common good, take account of the interests of multiple stakeholders, and respond ethically as well as efficiently to complex challenges which transcend traditional organisational and state boundaries. Ethics, Meaningfulness, and Mutuality poses critical questions related to organisational design by challenging limits to current thinking, such as the neglect by political philosophers of markets, firms and stakeholders, or by organisational theorists of business ethics. In so doing, the book advances our understanding of the theory and practice of ethical organising.

Taylor & Francis Sales Management
Book SynopsisSales are the lifeblood of the business world and therefore an area of fundamental importance for scholarly research. This concise book analyses current thoughts and emerging practices in sales management research.Organisations who are looking to increase revenues and add new customers to their portfolio will find it increasingly difficult to successfully do this without being aware of and adopting the appropriate, adaptive sales processes. Emergent themes such as agile sales management, digital selling, artificial intelligence and trust will be discussed in the book that also embraces the importance of customer relationship management, and how salespeople are aligning their interactions with the marketing function. The text will review recent research to identify how to grow and organise the sales pipeline, manage hybrid sales teams, and the effects of new technologies on selling processes. These discussions will be helpful in highlighting issues and providing some solutionsTrade Review"Sales plays a decisive role for firms’ performance. Poor sales, poor performance, no business continuity - it’s as simple as that. However, it is much more complex to explain what makes a sales organization effective and efficient. This book fills an important gap. It explains why and how sales is so essential. And it does so in a very compact, concise, and understandable way. The authors do a brilliant job in structuring and explaining the most central concepts in sales. And they do so by basing the book on the most important results of academic research. Every sales manager and every sales person should read this book!" Bjorn Ivens, Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg, Germany "Sales is the lifeblood of business and the Nr.1. determinant for success. This invaluable book covers theory, research and practice of emerging sales areas in sales including customer relationships, sales and its relationship with marketing, managing the sales pipeline, sales leadership, and the effects of new technologies on selling. Having spent my career, helping people build their businesses and scaling sales globally, I would highly recommend this easy-to-read book to anyone and everyone in academia, commercial business, management and sales.” Mark O’Donovan, Airfield Capital Partners "Striking a healthy balance between theory and practice, this book elucidates the pivotal role of sales in any organization. With due consideration for the rapidly changing AI and digital technology-driven world we live in, it is very forward-thinking in its orientation. Written in highly accessible language, the book is a handy resource for teachers and students alike”. Kisito F. Nzembayie, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland"The opening statement says it all ‘No sales – No business’ but how do sales leaders adapt to the changing use of technology in an increasingly digital business environment? This book takes the reader through the journey of adaptation, clarifying the criticality of the sales process, describing how it must be modified and showing the [changing] role of the salesperson, who must now become highly digitally literate whilst remaining the personal, human face of the business. A pragmatic expose that any business or sales leader will recognise from his or her own experience, written in a simple, no-nonsense way. Ignore it at your peril." Rod Moore, The A&O IT Group plc.“At last, the sales profession is getting the attention and research it deserves. The authors make a compelling case for the importance of sales in every organization and the need to fund sales teams, process, and tools as strategic investments. With more than 40 years of business experience, I am inspired by the research and information put forth with respect to the importance of structuring a smart, healthy sales/marketing relationship, recent change dynamics affecting sales and important perspectives on the short-term and long-term implications due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a must-read resource for anyone who understands the importance of sales to their organization” Brian Campbell, Pexagon Technology Ind, USA"'Nothing happens in business until somebody sells something'. There is a big difference between understanding the art of selling and the dark art of sales management. And this is the first book I have read in my career that demonstrates a clear understanding of how one works hand in hand with the other. This book refreshingly manages to promote methods and systems that are adapted to suit the modern commercial world. Highly recommended for any student or practitioner."

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Future of Global Retail
Book SynopsisChina's new retail revolution will completely transform how the world thinks about retail and digital innovation. But is the world ready yet? In this book, the authors share an insider's perspective on what is happening in China to reveal the future for global retail, and a clear framework to help you prepare. The book presents a number of real-world cases, based on interviews and first-hand consumer experience, to decode China's retail revolution so that you can understand what is happening and why, and what it means for the rest of the world. Crucially, the book identifies five critical stages in the development of new retail that global retail executives need to grasp now: lifestyle commerce, Online-Merge-Offline retail, social retail, livestream retail and invisible retail. To help the industry get ready for this new, China-inspired paradigm in retail, the authors present a practical and simple framework a ten-year strategic roadmap for global retail executives, which weTrade Review"China has become the most relevant market for luxury goods worldwide and its effect is reshaping the industry well beyond its boundaries. At Puig we have been present in China for many years, with the objective of building our brands with a long term perspective. It has been fascinating to see at which pace consumer habits have evolved. What took decades in other areas of the world, has taken just a few years in China. These highly paced changes in consumer behavior linked to the fact that the ecosystem is absolutely unique has posed a real challenge to many Western brand owners developing their brands in this unique market. This book offers very interesting insights on the different realities of this ecosystem and the role of the different forces that interrelate in it. It has helped us get a better understanding and a new perspective to what it takes to successfully build your brands and your business in China." - Javier Bach, COO of Puig Beauty & Fashion"FMCG executives all over the world need to understand how the Chinese retail and digital ecosystem is already completely redefining consumers expectations from their brands. This eye-opening and insightful book can help you prepare for the new world coming your way." - Patrice Bula, Executive Vice President Nestlé S.A., Head of Strategic Business Units, Marketing, Sales and President Nespresso (2011-2021)"New Retail is one of the most visible examples of China’s undisputed areas of leadership. This book does an excellent job of describing what it is and its various business models. More importantly through its comprehensive analyses, it unfolds all its complexity and phenomenal impact within the country and on the rest of the world.New retail starts from consumer intimacy, is built upon excellence in supply chain, uses creativity and technology to deliver the ultimate experiential retail or "Retailtainment" as delineated and further prescribed by the authors.We live in times of constant disruption. Through this book everyone can see how a profound transformation can be the only way forward." - Gianfranco Casati, CEO of Accenture Growth Markets"In my 30 years of living and working in China this is the first book that I have read that fully articulates and analyzes the history and key players involved in the e-commerce revolution in China. This book is a must read for anyone or any company that wants to enter the China retail market, to expand its presence in China, or to learn about the global e-commerce trends." - Mei-Wei Cheng, Former Chairman & CEO of GE (China) & Ford Motor (China), President & CEO Siemens China, and President & COO AT&T China"The IMD authors understand in depth the Chinese business culture and traditions, and are able to overlay this knowledge on the western ways of doing business. The outcome is an inventory of opportunities to catch, of potential threats to assess and anticipate, and often a wake-up call to rethink strategies. China is way ahead when it comes down to e-commerce; this is a fact. As I have observed in sectors like banking, insurance or telecoms, we in the West often hide ourselves behind excuses to explain why we are behind. Different privacy concepts, stricter regulatory rules. Maybe, but what about audacity, creativity and speed of action? It’s not too late to read this book, and decide whether we want to be leaders or followers." - Michel Demaré, Chairman of IMD Business School and Deputy Chairman of Louis Dreyfus Company"Professor Nie and her coauthors have done a great service by articulating clearly the incredible digital retail phenomenon happening in China. Our company has been trying to crack the Chinese market in a big way for 30 years by extending our business model from the West into China. Now leveraging the new retail trends, we build our Modern Agriculture Platform to help farmers grow crops in a more environmentally friendly way and to connect them directly to consumers. The ideas that this book articulates can open up great growth opportunities in China for global companies. In the future, some of these models can be applied outside China." - J. Erik Fyrwald, CEO of Syngenta"Over the past two decades millions of Chinese have become ‘modern’ shoppers and consumers for the first time, the boom growth phase in the Chinese consumer economy has happened without the ‘legacy assets’ and traditions of Western markets’ retail format and platform technologies. Free of these precursors a vibrant entrepreneurial commercial culture has emerged that has scaled like nowhere earlier in economic world history, and a leading edge and completely different retail, shopper and consumer eco-system has emerged for China. There is no longer a global standard go-to-market model for developed economies. Companies seeking to succeed in China need to build a bespoke approach in China in order to win for China in China. And whilst China continues to learn and sort out the most valuable lessons very rapidly from the rest of the world, the world needs to accelerate to learn much faster from the China experience – both to succeed in China and to evolve existing retail structures in the Western markets. I recommend reading the Future of Global Retail because the authors explain the revolution of new retail coming from China and how that may inspire and impact global retail leaders." - Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, Executive Chair, the LEGO Brand Group"While I experience the new retail as an active consumer living in China, I must say that it is not always easy for anyone who lives in China to explain the new phenomenon and make sense of what’s going on. The book does a wonderful job explaining all the "messy" complications of the new retail. As a digital native and Chinese netizen, I find the analysis of these new retail developments refreshing and insightful. It helps me see the big picture." - Rui Meng, China digital native / netizen‘’The Future of Global Retail: Learning from China’s Retail Revolution is a pioneering work on tracing the evolution and future of retail in China. China is the consumer story of the century and new retail is its major amplifier. Winning in new retail, and in all its growth formats is critical for all global players as this market shapes the future of consumer led businesses in the world. The book makes for a highly engaging read, with inspiring stories of retail revolutionaries and how it all comes together. This is an extremely useful guide for all CPG executives who aspire to make sense, learn how to play and win in the most innovative, digitized and complex retail market in the world.’’ - Rohit Jawa, Chairman Unilever China & EVP Unilever North Asia "Having been running a business in Asia for the last 12 years, I noticed that the more western executives are remote from China, geographically or in terms of their responsibility, the more they are scared about it. This book will help executives understand that the basic tenet running business in China is not that different from other parts of the world--you must relentlessly win your customers. The stories in this book demonstrate in a fantastic way that real customer centricity drives success. This is truly inspiring for many entrepreneurs in and out of China. The "scary" part is how these entrepreneurs in China learn so fast, experiment so quickly, and scale up so rapidly." - Frederic De Rougemont, CEO of USG BORAL"Beyond New Retail offers a fascinating look into the Chinese retail ecosystem and its impacts on the future of global retail. The authors’ masterful analysis of thousands of regional: case studies provides a strategy blueprint essential for any business keen to stay ahead of the curve. Their "Beyond" Value Chain Model extrapolates local trends and ensures they are universally applicable, relevant to companies irrespective of their geography. At X5, we have had the pleasure of working with IMD through our New Retail program and have utilised many of the insights featured to transform our business for future growth. I believe it is now vital for industry leaders to pay close attention to China's road to success and learn from it. This book helps do just that." - Igor Shekhterman, CEO of X5 Retail Group, Russia's largest food retailer."This book offers powerful insights. It challenges us in industries and regions outsides China to learn from these developments.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Trauma of Racism
Book SynopsisThe Trauma of Racism: Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter is a pioneering reflection on the psychology of racism and its impact on us all. With the intimacy of personal experience and depth of analytic exposition, the authors expose racism's searing effects on personal, clinical, and community interactions while providing pathways for change.This book asserts that the insights and practice of psychoanalysis, applied behind the couch and in the community, create unique opportunities for change. Essayists address racially derived mental health inequities, including distortions, projections, stereotypes, and historical tropes. The Trauma of Racism invites personal and clinical exploration of how people learn, confront, and re-learn views on race. Narratives of the loss and grief and the burdens of slavery that crisscross the African American community are present. They are complemented by those of the psychological burdens and inspired acts of personal responsTrade Review'The authors offer a fresh, invigorating, and much-needed psychoanalytic treatise on race, race relations, and racism. The contributors that they have gathered represent multiple perspectives, diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, and different nationalities. Together these highly informed and somber voices create a moving chorus of cultural anthropology, psychoanalytic metapsychology, developmental studies, community politics, and, above all, clinical praxis.'Salman Akhtar, professor of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical College, training and supervising analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia'This remarkable new book is a long-overdue treatment of a subject that has historically been neglected in psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic discourse. I was enlightened by the brilliant insights from colleagues who provided new ways of understanding racism and the challenges we face. Readers will learn a great deal of practical and clinical information, as well as becoming more familiar with the tragic history of racism.' Glen O. Gabbard, clinical professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine'This book is an important and thoughtful guide to one of the more urgent questions facing psychotherapeutic practice today—how to address the individual psychological implications and effects of larger structural biases, inequities, and prejudices. The book deftly connects psychological frameworks with historical and cultural ones. It is a vital resource for clinicians and citizens seeking to understand and address legacies of historical trauma.'Jonathan M. Metzl, director, Center for Medicine, Health, and Society and Frederick B. Rentschler II endowed professor, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine'Psychoanalysis gave us multiple lenses for illuminating complex human behavior through its metapsychology of the individual. In addition, Freud, as a social and cultural theorist, gave us a quintessentially powerful means of coming face to face with the tragic view of how humans are eminently capable of treating one another. These two projects of psychoanalysis converge in The Trauma of Racism: Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter. Here, Beverly Stoute and Michael Slevin provide a masterfully designed and edited catalogue of accounts of the trauma of distorting the individual ego and endangering generations of collective and degraded human lives in our fractured world ripped by racism and its manifold systemic pathways of racialization. All scholars committed to understanding and transforming the inner world and its external fields of reference to the outside, and in reverse, how psychologically charged external fields of reference activate inner world drama, will benefit immensely from this tome. Now, hopefully, we can teach and study race in earnest without the facile charge of being polemic.'Maurice Apprey, professor of Psychiatry, is a member of the Academy of Distinguished Educators, School of Medicine, and dean of African American Affairs, University of Virginia'This collection by Beverly Stoute and Michael Slevin is required reading for everyone practicing, supervising, or teaching the psychodynamic tradition. The authors provide the deep, subtle clinical thinking and practice wisdom on racism that until now has been lacking. But the reach of the book goes beyond clinical practice. Racism is searing. Its history shapes each of us regardless of racial identity. Its impact on the psyches of everyone in the U.S. is profound and traumatic. Anyone willing to look inward at themselves or outward at our society through the lens of racism could profit from this book. The authors’ authenticity as they share critical reflections gained through work in the therapeutic encounter is a strength of a book that is a joy to read.'Joanne Corbin, associate dean for Academic Affairs, University of Connecticut School of Social Work, former director, Smith College School for Social Work doctoral programTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: Historical Perspectives 1.

Input costs are soaring, systems are struggling to keep up with increasing demand for their services and areas of the world still lack universal health coverage.

This innovative and rapidly growing sector promotes new ways of banking and funding social and public services.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Positive Impact Mindset
Book SynopsisWe are facing a new and urgent challenge when collaborating across organizations, and with broader stakeholder groups: how to overcome polarization. It has never been harder to find a common vision, when opinions are often considered as facts. This book empowers changemakers and business leaders to understand how successful organizations in the 21st century require leaders to become fluent in collaborating outside of traditional business boundaries. Such collaboration often involves working with parties that hold very different values, opinions and priorities, and working with them requires new skills. Building on the book Five Superpowers for Co-Creators, Katrin Muff presents a number of real-world examples that demonstrate how organizations have successfully managed to address these challenges. Examples of such unlikely but successful cross-sector collaboration include a project addressing plastic waste in Switzerland, and two European city government projects that rTrade Review"At last, a book for change-makers, innovators, and leaders from business, civil society, and governmental organizations that takes on the greatest change challenge of our day: the polarization explosion.

Taylor & Francis The Meaning and Purpose of Work
Two seminal crises of the early 21st century â the 9/11 terrorist attacks and COVID-19 pandemic â have led emerging generations of workers to prioritize the meaning and purpose of work. At the same time, other social and environmental crises are threatening, capitalism is evolving, and technology is advancing. In this book, a philosopher and organizational psychologist who together research meaningful work consider what these forces mean for whether work might give meaning and purpose to our lives or take it away. The authors introduce key concepts â meaning, purpose, and work, among others â and consider how they show up in individualsâ experience of work, what role organizations play in cultivating them, and the responsibilities of markets and states to the individuals and organizations working within them. Each chapter includes questions and prompts for review and reflection for students and workers who read the book. The final chapter concludes by introducing an original âœ6 Pâ
