Corporate Tax Avoidance in China addresses a critical gap in understanding taxation within the world's second-largest economy. As China undergoes rapid economic transformation, its increasingly sophisticated tax system has attracted attention from international investors seeking opportunities in this dynamic market. Yet few books offer students, academics, and practitioners a comprehensive guide to the forces shaping corporate tax avoidance in China.

This volume fills that gap through six complementary chapters investigating novel determinants spanning geographic, technological, organizational, and regulatory dimensions. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, the book examines how local information environments, institutional infrastructures, individual leader characteristics, and cross-domain policy interactions collectively shape corporate tax outcomes, reflecting the increasing diversity of contemporary tax research in China.

This prestigious reference work offers students, academics, and business professionals, whether from Western companies or developing countries, an authoritative introduction to corporate tax avoidance in the world's most dynamic emerging market, essential for those doing business with Chinese firms or establishing subsidiaries in China.

The book progresses from foundational concepts through capacity building tools to pillar-specific strategies including environmental stewardship, social equity and governance systems. Chapters investigate the balance required between the industry's reliance on natural environments and communities and its responsibility to protect them. Extending beyond compliance-driven ESG, contributing authors introduce regenerative frameworks informed by globally diverse case studies and research outcomes.

Researchers and students in hospitality and tourism management will benefit from the rigorous theory-practice integration provided. Industry leaders, sustainability managers and investors will appreciate the book's guidance on implementing authentic ESG transformation and on navigating the regulatory, investor, social and ecological pressures reshaping the sector.

This book delves into the enduring legacy and evolving relevance of the resource-based view (RBV) in strategic management and marketing. Since Professor Jay Barney's groundbreaking 1991 paper on RBV and sustained competitive advantage, this framework has dominated strategic management research and practice for over three decades, influencing adjacent fields such as marketing. However, in today's rapidly shifting global business environment, where traditional strategies are increasingly replaced by innovative and adaptive approaches, the RBV's continued relevance is under scrutiny. This book addresses the critical question of whether RBV theory remains a viable tool for achieving sustained competitive advantage or if it has reached the limits of its applicability. By examining resource-based dynamics from diverse marketing management perspectives, the book offers fresh theoretical and practical insights into the future potential of RBV to drive competitive advantage for firms and their products.

This book is an essential resource for students, academics, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of strategic management, marketing, and business strategy. It is particularly relevant for those interested in exploring how firms can leverage their resources to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing global marketplace.

The chapters in this book were originally published in Journal of Strategic Marketing.

By thinking differently about audit, this exciting book establishes that the conceptual core of audit itself is the art of thinking differently: the making of those new connections that inspire the creativity and confidence to challenge established thinking and provide actionable insight. Audit is reconceptualised as a vital, creative, engine of progress - in society, the economy, the environment and in the appropriate use of technology. Progress requires confidence in the future. Audit addresses whether an audited entity is deserving of confidence and capable of developing - with deserved confidence flowing from creativity, sustainability, resilience and fair treatment. Audit becomes a form of social conscience, responding to, evaluating and influencing the ideas and ideals that a society or an entity within a society holds dear.

Through such framing, audit no longer observes from the sidelines but drives progress in business and society more generally. Whilst audit's traditional notions of conformity, control and compliance can be readily captured by a machine, the insight, imagination and inspiration that comes from thinking differently is fundamentally human. In this respect, the future of audit and of humanity converge. This book is not just for auditors and accountants concerned about the future of their profession but is an invitation to all with an interest in the future well-being of business and society to reformulate how they view audit.

This book explores the role, impact and experiences of animals within organisations and the wider socioeconomic contexts in which they participate.

Animals are vital to business. From agriculture to tourism, logistics to digital media, animals work, reproduce, create value and support livelihoods. Yet business and management theory still largely treats organisations as purely human domains. Animals and Business challenges this view. By introducing an interspecies approach to responsible management, the book explores how animals are not just resources or external ethical concerns, but key actors within organisations and industries. It examines how business practices shape animals' lives and how, in turn, animals influence how value is created and sustained. Each chapter takes an animal-centred approach to a familiar idea such as work, consumption and innovation. Case studies range from broiler chickens in global supply chains to bees in forest honey economies and medical scent-detection dogs in Nordic healthcare. Developed in dialogue with international scholars, the book's central claim is simple: Business is better understood, and better practised, when we recognise the animals whose lives and labour are intertwined with it.

This book is essential reading for students and researchers working at the intersection of business studies, animal studies and sustainability.
