Banasiewicz, Andrew, Probabilistic Benchmarking: Norm-Setting in the Age of Big Data. XX, 200 S. 2024:9 (de Gruyter, GW) <741-405>

What is a ‘good’ outcome? In relation to others, and in relation to the past? Commonly associated with the ideas of benchmarking and baselining, comparative assessment is an important part of organizational management, but this broadly defined undertaking lacks clear conceptual framing and methodological foundations. At the same time, the readily available transactional data make robust tracking and measurement possible at an unprecedented scale, but also accentuate the impact of assessment paradox: To be truly meaningful, exact magnitudes-expressed values often need to be ‘translated’ into qualitative, assessment-laden categories, but that task is impeded by lack of established approaches for doing so. Inspired by these observations, Probabilistic Benchmarking frames the notions of benchmarking and baselining as two complementary but distinct mechanisms of comparative assessment that make use of informational contents of organizational data to contribute unbiased, systematic, and consistent evaluation of outcomes or states of interest. In that general context, this book provides much-needed conceptual and methodological clarity to guide construction and use of benchmarks and baselines, and re-casts the idea of assessment standards in the context of data-derived estimates, to better align the practice of comparative assessment with the emerging realities of the Age of Data. This pioneering research-based but application-minded book bridges the gap between theory and practice. It will greatly benefit professionals, business students and others interested in the broad domain of organizational assessment.

Bathelt, Harald / Henn, Sebastian, Creating Knowledge over Distance: The Role of Temporary Proximity. 240 pp. 2025:7 (Oxford U. Pr., UK) <741-407>
ISBN 978-0-19-885136-3 hard ¥9,856.- (税込) GB￡ 35.00

Creating Knowledge over Distance shows that economic knowledge creation fundamentally depends on, benefits from, and is structured by temporary geographical proximity - that is, by economic actors meeting in person or interacting in a co-present context to discuss business opportunities, problems and solutions are face to face. During the Covid-19 pandemic, personal meetings often had to be reduced or were replaced by virtual meetings, leading many observers to assume a fundamental reconfiguration of economic life in the future as face-to-face interaction may be substituted by virtual interaction through the use of new information and communication technologies. While communication patterns certainly changed during this period, this book demonstrates that the face-to-face meetings the authors investigate across a sequence of 11 chapters with different knowledge-creation contexts are unlikely to be fully substituted by distant interactions - and may even become more important over time. The book develops the argument by systematically analyzing three configurations of knowledge transfers over distance: (1) international community gatherings, such as trade fairs, delegation travel, conventions and conferences, (2) mobile business practices, including intra-firm business coordination, inter-firm projects, producer-user meetings, and corporate expansions/inter-firm negotiations, as well as (3) transnational networks, related to transnational corporations and transnational migrant firms (including new transnational firms/new Argonauts and transnational family networks).

ISBN 978-3-658-46909-2 paper ¥23,206.- (税込) EUR 99.99

In today's dynamic business environment, resource-constrained organizations, such as SMEs and startups, must navigate the dual demands of exploration and exploitation to achieve ambidexterity - a critical capability for business survival and success. This book examines how such organizations can use strategic alliances to benefit from ambidexterity. In an empirical study, 15 case studies of strategic alliances between established organizations and startups are analyzed based on numerous expert interviews with CEOs, founders, and managers. By collaborating, corporates can benefit from the innovative strength of startups, while startups can benefit from the corporates' networks and reputation. However, these collaborations often prove challenging. The author develops an empirical model that identifies key antecedents of alliance success. This model sheds light on critical elements such as power imbalances and provides actionable insights for fostering effective and mutually beneficial collaboration. This book is essential for entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and researchers interested in ambidexterity, strategic alliances, and corporate-startup partnerships.

The conscious design of a hybrid corporate culture specifically enables the potential for performance enhancement to be combined with employee satisfaction and productivity. In this revised and significantly expanded second edition, concrete concepts are presented on how digital transformation can be methodically implemented with an appropriate corporate culture. This practice-oriented book provides companies and consultants with proven models, concepts, and approaches to ensure the sustainable success of digital transformation.

It examines the crucial role of mediators in resolving conflicts and fostering understanding in various contexts. By exploring real-life case studies and theoretical frameworks, the book offers valuable insights into how mediation can be a powerful tool for creating a harmonious and sustainable future.

Smit, Helene, Depth Leadership: Unlocking Unconscious Potential in the Workplace. XX, 300 S. 2025:3 (de Gruyter, GW) <741-459>
ISBN 978-3-11-138462-7 paper ¥6,950.- (税込) EUR 29.95

Depth Leadership guides leaders to implement their ethical responsibility to ensure that individuals, communities and the planet co-exist as creatively, constructively and sustainably as possible. The book explores a transformative leadership approach based on a foundation of depth psychology and systems thinking, in which leaders work beneath, between and beyond. By working beneath, the leader should actively pursue integration of the whole self or psyche, both the conscious (on-the-surface) self and the unconscious (under-the-surface) self, which includes the body and the imagination, to unlock potential, resolve conflict and help the individual psyche to thrive. Leaders must pursue integration and build healthy relationships between people to help groups and communities thrive. They need to consider factors beyond their own group or organisation, using an integrative approach towards larger systems, including governance systems and the natural environment, to ensure a thriving planet. Grounded in academically sound theory, but discussed from the perspective of a layperson, and extensively illustrated by award-winning artist Katherine Glenday, the ideas discussed in this book will benefit anyone leading a group or a team, whether it be in a formal organisation, or a more informal social setting.
