Edmonstone, John,
The Handbook of Action Learning: The Go-To Source for Individual, Organizational and Social Development. 144 pp. 2024:4 (Productivity Pr., US) <715-322>
ISBN 978-1-03-273487-3 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00 *

Action learning is one of the most prominent individual and organisational development approaches used in all parts of the world, including in over 70 member states of the United Nations. From its early beginnings in the 1970s, it has been adopted in private, public and third-sector organisations and has produced several variations. Used for leadership and management development, to support teamwork and problem-solving, and to encourage creative thinking, it can help to develop and enhance the learning capacity for individuals and organisations.Applied as a discrete activity focused on a priority need or on new or changed roles; as a linkage between more formal programs and the workplace or blended with other elements in a program, this book distils current and previous practice and theory to provide an up-to-date guide to action learning. The book will provide readers with an understanding of action learning, including the major elements, the choice of issues, the key skills, the role of the facilitator and applications organisation-wide. It will address such important aspects as how action learning can adapt to different national and regional cultures and how it can be evaluated. It will also offer a range of resources for further and deeper understanding.

What's a good company? Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing is transforming the world of business and finance. Investors are using data on issues like climate and diversity to enhance returns and make an impact. But with scepticism creeping in, how far can we trust the numbers? Is all this data making a difference to people and planet, and have we actually lost sight of what we are measuring and why? Measuring Good Business explains what we can measure - and calls for honesty about what we can't.This is the first book to look at the numbers behind the ESG revolution. It sets out a bold blueprint to revolutionise the data based on bottom-up, inclusive metrics, customised data to meet investor needs and impact measures that put sustainability in context. It is essential reading for anyone creating, using or studying ESG and sustainability data. After unpacking what's going on today, the book focuses on solutions, providing a how-to guide to improve measurement and make sustainable business more impactful. It shows why measurement matters in a highly accessible way through stories and insights based on practical experience.The book is relevant to a broad readership of data creators (e.g. those working in companies), users (e.g. capital market participants) as well as the large ecosystem of raters, rankers and standard setters across the private, public and non-profit worlds.

Heydari, Mohammad,
Corruption and Entrepreneurship: Testing the Theory of Planned Behavior. (Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship) 192 pp. 2024:4 (Routledge, UK) <715-325>
ISBN 978-1-03-258996-1 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00 *
This book examines corruption as a collective behavior problem for entrepreneurs. In particular, it considers Azjen's theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain perceived corruption and its effects on entrepreneurship.Heydari argues that behavioral intentions are shaped by variables such as attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. He proposes the novel Heydari Behavioral Synthesis Theory (HBST) model and applies it to two case studies to highlight the institutional, individual and societal factors that may inhibit entrepreneurial behavior. He concludes that corruption may persist not just because of difficulties in monitoring and prosecuting, but because it is systemically pervasive and discourages individual countermeasures. He closes by looking at anti-corruption policies and outlining future research directions.Arguing that widespread corruption may be theoretically mischaracterized in the literature, this book is of interest to policy-makers, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of management science, industrial and organizational psychology, entrepreneurship and corruption studies.

Leader Work: Using Insight, Intuition and Imagination to Develop Leadership Practice. 224 pp. 2024:4 (Routledge, UK) <715-326>
ISBN 978-1-03-272149-1 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00 *
ISBN 978-1-03-269306-4 paper ¥10,649.- (税込) GB£ 35.99 *
Leader Work offers an accessible and engaging introduction to the power of reflection to support leaders in their development and professional practice. The book does not present a tick-box toolkit to being a better leader, instead it provides the prompts and deeper reflexive space for leaders to consider their own self-development.Written by a leading management researcher and consultant, the book draws on reflexive practice, but goes beyond this method to guide the reader on how to consider both inward and outward work, and provides useful suggestions for application. The inward work involves developing our knowledge of ourselves, our capabilities and our limitations through self-examination and connecting with others, and so building up our capacity for judgment, and gaining confidence in using intuition and imagination thoughtfully in situations of complexity and uncertainty. The outward work involves learning to express a leader identity that is both true to ourselves and recognized by relevant groups and the organizations in which we work, so that we are trusted to help navigate and narrate a path through uncertainty.This book has been written for leaders and would-be leaders looking to develop and shape their practice, as well as scholars studying and teaching leadership classes.

Impact intrapreneurs at some of the most powerful organizations in the world are designing new, more sustainable businesses from within. They put their values to work and transform their corporations into a force for good. In a corporate world that still largely prioritizes profit above all else, these people shine a light on how to balance profit with impact, and the inspirational stories captured in this book guide leaders and managers to do the same.The lack of purpose beyond profit is causing millions of people to question their work and even to leave the corporate world altogether. Companies are struggling with recruitment and retention, as people seek a greater sense of purpose. For many, this would mean finding a way to use their work as a platform for positive social and environmental impact. This book will inspire this change for leaders seeking a different and better way forward. Structured around the stages of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey - upon which Star Wars was based - this book combines the philosophy of Star Wars with inspiring stories of impact intrapreneurs. You'll get to know Corporate Jedi such as Susie Lonie and Nick Hughes, who, while working for Vodafone in Kenya introduced a mobile payment method which brought financial inclusion to millions; Myriam Sidibe at Unilever, who turns making soap into saving lives; and Gib Bulloch, founder of Accenture Development Partnerships, which provides first-class consulting services to NGOs leveraging their impact. With actionable advice, such as how to create a business case, how to measure social impact, and more, the book is not only an entertaining read, but also helps executives apply insights to their own daily work.Written for leaders, managers, and all professionals looking to create positive impact through their work, this book will give future Corporate Jedi the courage and tools to use the force of business for good.

ISBN 978-1-03-215707-8 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00 *
Covid-19 has brought so much uncertainty, but one certainty is that the vaccine race will generate winners and losers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This will have a major impact on merger and acquisition activity. While the plethora of merger and acquisition deals are abundantly reported by the news media, there is a clear lack of in-depth analysis on the multiple rationales and various challenges in the life sciences industry. By offering contributions from a variety of experts in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as experts on mergers and acquisitions, this edited collection will draw upon the knowledge of a variety of different actors within the fields of pharma and biotech. This book offers a timely exploration of the complexities of mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries while seeking to bridge the gap between theory and practice. It presents a critical analysis of the rationale for acquisitions and studies the challenges of ensuring a successful deal. In the light of the Covid-19 pandemic, it will also explore the impact this may have on the industry, which may further stimulate merger and acquisition activity. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers, and students in the fields of strategy, management, governance, and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

What does it take to be - or to become - a successful entrepreneur? Are there specific personality types that are best suited to entrepreneurship? And can these types, or rather the attributes that combine to forge them, be learned or acquired? In this book, John Thompson answers these questions - and many more - to let the reader see through the eyes of the entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs: Talent, Temperament, Opportunity and Mindset introduces the world of entrepreneurship from a person-centred perspective. Part 1 builds an understanding of the entrepreneur as a person based on the key factors of talent and temperament - a unique framework for understanding and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities. Part 1 also explores the entrepreneurial mindset and how it can be honed and strengthened. The process of starting and growing a business is then described in detail in Part 2, which also examines entrepreneurship in the context of opportunity and strategy. Part 3 introduces the infrastructure and environment in which the entrepreneur has to operate and tells the stories of famous entrepreneurs through dozens of case vignettes, including classic figures such as Henry Ford, through to social entrepreneurs and even anti-social entrepreneurs such as Al Capone! This insightful, empirically-based take on the entrepreneur provides students with an accessible and original way into entrepreneurship. Whatever their background, students at all levels will value the author's accessible writing style and invaluable insights.

Life Cycle Cost Analysis: An Economic Model for Sustainable Tomorrow. 120 pp. 2024:4 (Productivity Pr., US) <715-171>
ISBN 978-1-03-261167-9 hard ¥32,549.- (税込) GB£ 110.00 *

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is the process of economic analysis to assess the total cost of ownership of an asset, including its cost of procurement, installation, operation, maintenance, conversion, and decommissioning. The economic approach to assess the total cost of owning an asset or facility is known as Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). LCCA is a key economic tool for business decision-making in terms of various functional requirements, such as sustainability, asset management, supply chain management, and project management. Every organization is a combination of various interrelated functions or departments. Every function has its own set of objectives and targets. Even though all functions try to achieve overall organizational objectives, in reality, they work to protect their functional interests as well. In many cases, it becomes detrimental to the health of the organization. This conflicting behavior increases when decisions are made on subjective considerations. When a company's strategy works on an objective platform, chances of conflict are reduced. LCCA can be used as a management decision tool for synchronizing functional conflicts by focusing on facts, money, and time. Life Cycle Cost Analysis: An Economic Model for Sustainable Tomorrow explains a simple, innovative model to carry out LCCA, along with a unique methodology to determine how the value of money changes over a period of time.

Innovation, Automation and a Sustainable Economy: Tackling the Inequality, Climate and Biodiversity Crises. (Routledge Studies in the Economics of Innovation) 176 pp. 2024:4 (Routledge, UK) <715-173>
ISBN 978-1-03-273240-4 hard ¥39,946.- (税込) GB£ 135.00 *
Economic inequality, the environmental crisis and the climate crisis are systemically linked. Accordingly, they should be understood as a single, interconnected system and strategies for resolving them should be guided by this understanding. This book demonstrates how the Green New Deal and its systemic alternative, the Red New Deal, could influence the course of these three global crises, all within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.The author has developed several scenarios that are relevant to the automation that will result from advances in artificial intelligence and intelligent robots. The first is one of mass unemployment, while the second envisages low rates of unemployment, although workers will experience stagnation and then a decline in their wages. It is possible to envisage a different set of scenarios; however, we must replace the capitalist economic model with a different model: mutualism, a sustainable model that would allow for economic growth while also addressing the three current systemic crises. The author argues that if such a model is implemented, there will be jobs for everyone and the climate crisis will be tackled because people's welfare will be prioritized over profit. We can assert that such a model will foster the development of economic equality. The basic premise of this mutual and sustainable economic model is that sustainability is in everyone's interests.The book employs not only established and innovative methods, such as literature reviews, scenario thinking and historical methods, to underpin its arguments, but also conceptual generalization as an intellectual tool to tackle the general research problem; thus, it will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of sustainability and the innovation economy.

This systematic analysis of everyday life inside a tech startup dissects the logic of venture capital and its consequences for entrepreneurs, workers, and societies. In recent years, dreams about our technological future have soured as digital platforms have undermined privacy, eroded labor rights, and weakened democratic discourse. In light of the negative consequences of innovation, some blame harmful algorithms or greedy CEOs. Behind the Startup focuses instead on the role of capital and the influence of financiers. Drawing on nineteen months of participant-observation research inside a successful Silicon Valley startup, this book examines how the company was organized to meet the needs of the venture capital investors who funded it. Investors push startups to scale as quickly as possible to inflate the value of their asset. Benjamin Shestakofsky shows how these demands create organizational problems that managers solve by combining high-tech systems with low-wage human labor. With its focus on the financialization of innovation, Behind the Startup explains how the gains generated by these companies are funneled into the pockets of a small cadre of elite investors and entrepreneurs. To promote innovation that benefits the many rather than the few, Shestakofsky compellingly argues that we must focus less on fixing the technology and more on changing the financial infrastructure that supports it.

"The term "Metaverse" is thirty years old, yet only recently entered mainstream conversation, attracting both fascinating and skepticism. While some have promised its imminent arrival, in fact it will take a series of technological and societal leaps to realise its full potential. In The Metaverse, pioneering theorist, former tech executive and acclaimed entrepreneur Matthew Ball offers an expansive tour of the "next internet": he presents a comprehensive definition of the Metaverse (going far beyond mere virtual reality headsets), explains the technologies that will power it, addresses governance challenges, and predicts Metaverse winners and losers. Bringing clarity and authority to a frequently misunderstood concept, this revised and updated edition of Ball's authoritative work demonstrates how the Metaverse will radically reshape society. "A comprehensive guide to every aspect of the metaverse."-John Thornhill, Financial Times "Offers a better understanding of the metaverse than the novel that coined the term-1992's Snow Crash."-Cecilia D'Anastasio, Bloomberg

Introducing a comprehensive approach to invigorate project leadership, this book provides a framework - the OUtCoMES Cycle - for developing, managing, advancing, and optimizing engineering and analytics projects.All too often, issues of moral hazard and completion bias prevent engineering and analytics managers and team leaders from asking the critical question 'What's the problem?', before committing time, energy, and resources to solve it. This book draws attention to the definition, structuring, option consideration and ultimately the addressing of the right problems, exploring the OUtCoMES Cycle framework that facilitates and energizes systematic thinking, knowledge sharing, and on-the-fly adjustment with an explicit focus on the maximization of value and ROI. Each chapter includes discussions and lessons in analytical and engineering problem identification, problem structuring, iterative problem development (mental and computational) and problem resolution, at least three embedded real-world case studies, and a closing 'Practitioner's Recap' to contextualize key chapter takeaways.Written by a team of established academic scholars and practicing analysts and engineers, this is an accessible and culture-shifting action guide for instructors interested in training the next generation of project and analytics leaders, students of analytics and engineering, as well as practicing project leaders and principals.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, there has been an explosion in startup organizations. Together, these organizations have been valued at over $3 trillion. In 2019 alone, nearly $300 billion of venture capital was invested globally (Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2020). Simultaneously, an explosion in high volume and high velocity of big data is rapidly changing how organizations function. Gone are the days when organizations can make decisions solely on intuition, logic, or experience. Some have gone as far as to say that data is the most valuable currency and resource available to businesses, and startups are no exception. However, startups do differ from their larger counterparts and corporations in three distinct ways: 1) they tend to have fewer resources, time, and specialized training to devote to data analytics; 2) they are part of a unique entrepreneurial ecosystem with unique needs; 3) scholarship and academic research on human capital data analytics in startups is lacking. Existing entrepreneurship research is primarily conducted in business schools. There needs to be more integration of industrial-organizational psychology and entrepreneurship. This book was designed to do just that: to demonstrate how organizational psychology - with a focus on human capital data and analytics - can advance the science and practice of entrepreneurship. This book is purposefully designed to address the unique idiosyncrasies of the science, research, and practice of startups and the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Each chapter takes a science-practice perspective, highlighting a specific human capital management topic (e.g., learning and development, team effectiveness, human capital due diligence) and discusses how leveraging data can help enhance decision-making. The volume is grounded in sound theory and practice of organizational psychology, entrepreneurship, and management. It is divided into three parts: (1) human capital assessment and development for startups, (2) understanding startup situations, environments, and support systems, and (3) measuring startup-level performance.

Management Control and Creativity: Challenges of Managing Innovation Processes. (Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management Series / Smart Innovation Set 41) 192 pp. 2024:2 (Wiley-ISTE, UK) <715-315>
ISBN 978-1-78630-819-1 hard ¥37,570.- (税込) US$ 165.00 *
Innovation is an essential growth lever for organizations. Like any strategic element, it must be managed to ensure the right decision is made at the right time. When we talk about management, we naturally also consider management control. However, using management tools can be a danger to developing creativity - an essential element of innovation. This book examines the interdependencies between management control and creativity. By comparing two organizational contexts, we highlight the vital role of organizations as generators of creativity. We also underline the acceptance of an imbalance between the elements in tension, which can lead to the questioning and fostering of innovation; and the role of senior management as mediators between organizations and local actors.

Agile is being adopted within every type of organization across the world. It is no longer used specifically for software development. This book shows how anyone can adopt the systems of an agile organization within their organization. The book contains a blueprint on how to start a transformation initiative.Starting with a high-level overview of what companies are seeking to achieve with a transformation platform, the book describes the common approaches used in today's business world. The book's discussion includes how common themes between the different types of transformation platforms are more a direct result of five cultural business processes.Currently, there are three main transformation platforms practiced within the business world: Lean Six-Sigma, Lean, and Agile. After a brief comparison showing the similarities and differences of these platforms, the book presents a blueprint for a successful Agile Transformation within any type of organization by focusing on five common cultural processes.The five cultural business processes discussed are decision making, conflict resolution, rewards and recognition, project management, and strategic deployment. In this book, each detailed discussion of the cultural business process includes real-life examples showing the agile systems and how they are applied, sustained, and the value they drive.The tour de force for the book is a theory that for any transformation to succeed, organizations need to change their values and principles in these business cultural processes to align with the value and principles of the transformation platform. Regardless of the platform, successful transformations only give the company the value they are seeking when the values and principles of the organization change. This usually means leaders need to change how they lead throughout the organization from the most senior level to front-line leaders.Essentially, these five cultural processes influence peoples' behaviors more than the application of any transformation system or tactics within the transformation platforms.

Strategy and Leadership as Service: How the Access Economy Meets the C-Suite. 328 pp. 2024:4 (Routledge, UK) <715-319>

Strategy and Leadership as Service isn't just a nice idea; it is a practical, alternative vision of the future of work for senior executives that is starting to gain significant interest and is being adopted by businesses globally. Disrupting and challenging the traditional full-time employment model, the Strategy and Leadership as Service framework provides businesses with access to the complete range of functional, emotional, and collective intelligence at the C-suite level by moving their positions from the "pay-roll" to an "access-role."Many entrepreneurial and growing businesses don't need, don't want, and can't afford full-time C-suite executives. For larger organisations, it is becoming harder to find the skills and knowledge required to fulfil all the obligations of a functional C-suite with a fixed group of individuals. By moving to the Strategy and Leadership as Service framework, the outcomes are better for all stakeholders: more engagement, access to the right skillsets and mindsets at the right time and in the right quantity to match the changing business agenda, more flexibility for senior leaders, and strengthened risk management. Through presenting a working business model, and real-world case studies throughout, this book provides executives and leaders with a complete understanding of this ground-breaking approach and its key benefits, the theory upon which it is based, its essential ingredients, the mindset change required and, most importantly, how to apply it in practice.The book provides business leaders, C-suite portfolio executives, human resource professionals, strategy consultants, leadership coaches, organisational development consultants, recruiters, professional service firms, academics, and forward-thinking business students with a radical new view of how the access economy can be applied to business strategy and leadership for more sustainable futures.
