Multinational Companies in China: Navigating the Eight Common Management Pitfalls Authors

Xin Guo Career International, China

Frank T. GalloCalypso Consulting, USA

SynopsisThis book explores some of the most common mistakes made by multinational companies doing business in China, in both cultural and managerial contexts. These shared mistakes could be as far-reaching as managing talent, local vs. global decision making, or could be as mundane as managing title, pay and performance. Many mistakes are rooted in a lack of understanding of the Chinese market in two areas: the unique talent and culture environment, and the immense opportunity potential. Very often, MNCs’ global or local leaders lack the ability to make discretional decisions with one-size-fi ts-all approaches under the cloak of global consistency, or treating a China operation as one-of-the outfi ts (and a small one in the world revenue pool), even though they understand the market potential in theory.

MNCs have enjoyed great success in China while many others have yet to realize their opportunities. China business continues to grow, and opportunities continue to develop. This book will guide business leaders on how to avoid the most common management pitfalls in China business, and will help the capitalize on the huge opportunity that remains in this region.

Demystifying China’s Mega Trends: The Driving Forces That Will Shake Up China and the World Author

Chi Lo Senior Economist, Hong Kong

SynopsisThe biggest causes of dissatisfaction in the current analysis of China’s mega trends is the lack of serious economic research e� ort. This has resulted in confusion and misunderstanding about the development and direction of mega trends and blind acceptance of these trends. This all leads to potentially erroneous business and policy decisions and reactions to the emergence of China. This new book examines the structural forces behind mega trends in China, refuting conventional wisdom and demystifying media and market hype. It aims to bridge the gap between the East and the West, and academic and market studies of China by examining China’s macroeconomic mega trends through the lens of rigorous economic research and evidence and taking a critical approach to question and assess the evolution of these mega trends. Coverage of China’s mega trends in this book is not meant to be exhaustive, as new trends will emerge over time and the existing trends will keep on evolving.

Regression Discontinuity Designs: Theory and Applications Advances in Econometrics, Volume 38

Editors

Matias D. Cattaneo University of Michigan, USA

Juan Carlos Escanciano University of Indiana, USA

SynopsisThe Regression Discontinuity (RD) design is one of the most popular and credible research designs for program evaluation and causal inference. This volume 38 of Advances in Econometrics collects twelve innovative and thought-provoking contributions to the RD literature, covering a wide range of methodological and practical topics. Some chapters touch on foundational methodological issues such as identifi cation, interpretation, implementation, falsifi cation testing, estimation and inference, while others focus on more recent and related topics such as identifi cation and interpretation in a discontinuity-in-density framework, empirical structural estimation, comparative RD methods, and extrapolation. These chapters not only give new insights for current methodological and empirical research, but also provide new bases and frameworks for future work in this area. This volume contributes to the rapidly expanding RD literature by bringing together theoretical and applied econometricians, statisticians, and social, behavioural and biomedical scientists, in the hope that these interactions will further spark innovative practical developments in this important and active research area.

The Power of Resistance: Culture, Ideology and Social Reproduction in Global Contexts Advances in Education in Diverse Communities: Research, Policy and Praxis, Volume 14

Editors

Rowhea M. Elmesky Washington University in St. Louis, USA

Carol Camp Yeakey Washington University in St. Louis, USA

Olivia C. Marcucci Washington University in St. Louis, USA

SynopsisRecent history has documented a phenomenal surge in global unrest. From Missouri to the Middle East, the world has watched waves of momentum build, peak, and dip around events such as the shooting of Michael Brown and the acquittal of Hosni Mubarak. There have been waves of mass protests of resistance, vivid expressions of human agency through the use of technology and social media, and the clear search for fi nding voice in spaces where the culture of silence has been the norm for decades. This quest for humanization has led, in some cases, to macro-level changes such as the fall of governments, the collapse of economic stability, and the production of immense refugee populations. It has also led to micro-level changes within individuals’ decisions to no longer be silenced or accept the status quo. Although separated by vast geographic space, this book serves to link these struggles through developing understandings of common patterns within and interconnections across oppressive societal structures. While these dynamic forms of human agency can be studied from multiple perspectives, this book is guided through the powerful ideological frameworks of culture and social reproduction and looks specifi cally to the role of schooling as a vehicle for catalysing change.

Design of Technology-Enhanced Learning: Integrating Research and Practice Author

Matt Bower Macquarie University, Australia

SynopsisThis book provides a broad academic and teaching audience with an integrated understanding of learning technology research, and how it can be used to enhance the design of learning environments. Whereas some books focus exclusively on research relating to learning technology and others propose ways to use technology e� ectively, this book synthesises research for the purpose of informing best practice. After laying pedagogical, technological and content foundations, it examines research relating to the educational use of Web 2.0, Social Networking, Mobile Learning and Virtual Worlds. Analysis across these contexts leaves readers with a nuanced understanding of how technology enabled learning design principles may (or may not) be abstracted across di� erent learning technology environments. The book is designed to not only be informative but also immensely readable – so that it is accessible and useful for academics, practicing educators, research students and pre-service teachers alike.

Global Leadership Talent Management: Successful Selection of Glob-al Leadership Talents as an Integrated Process Author

Juergen Deters Leuphana University, Germany

SynopsisIn times of globalization, global labor markets and increasingly diverse workforces, Global Leadership, Global Talent Management and integrated management systems belong to the most urgent issues and challenges for the next decade. Hence, it is not a surprise that Global Leadership and e� ective, integrated Global Talent Management have been identifi ed as key success factors for global organizations. Global organizations see the world as one market for gaining the best global leadership talents. To recruit and retain the best global leaders and leadership talents worldwide, organizations must have e� ective (global) talent management procedures that are mutually supportive, internally consistent and correlate positively with economic success. This book illustrates integrated practices and success factors of e� ective Global Leadership Talent Management procedures and shows how to balance the opposing forces of global harmonization and local responsiveness. It describes how global organizations can develop an integrative conceptual framework for the (global) talent management process that sees this as an ongoing acquisition process. Acquisition connotes partnership between talent and company.

Insights and Research on the Study of Gender and Intersectionality in International Airline Cultures Author

Albert J. Mills St Mary’s University, Canada

SynopsisFor the fi rst time in a single edited collection, this important body of feminist work traces the relationship between the formation of organizational culture and the development, maintenance and changing character of workplace discrimination. Based on three decades of archival research by Albert J. Mills and his colleagues, the book brings together a series of articles, chapters and hitherto unpublished papers that document the founding and growth of our major international airlines – Air Canada, British Airways, Pan American Airways, and Qantas Airways – to understand the comparative infl uence of organizational cultures not only on internal organizational processes but also social understandings of gendered practices. The insights generated in this body of work bring to light the complexity of organizational rules, symbolism, language, imagery, storytelling, and `history’ as they impact on the practices and sensemaking of those involved in producing discrimination at work. Feminists and other diversity researchers will fi nd this collection useful not only for insights on the processes of discrimination but also on the various refl ections on methodological approaches that are peppered throughout.

Putting the Genie Back: 2° will be harder than we think Author

David Hone Shell International Ltd, UK

SynopsisOn November 4th 2016 the Paris Agreement entered into force. The warming of the climate system, fi rst recognized over a century ago, has become one of the key political and social issues of our time. Some still deny it is happening, others are incensed by the slow pace of change, while most are left confused and uncertain not just by the science, but by the panoply of solutions put forward by politicians, business people, academics and activists. At its most ambitious, the Paris Agreement implies a transition within the global energy system such that carbon dioxide emissions fall rapidly from 40 billion tonnes per annum in 2016, to net-zero by the middle of the century. Yet our fossil fuel based energy system which ushered in the Industrial Revolution nearly 200 years ago continues to grow and evolve even as new sources of energy come into the market and compete. The principal economic instrument for change is clear and has been for over two decades, but in 2017 only a fraction of the global economy actively employs government led carbon pricing policies and within that only a handful of systems operate at a level commensurate with the pace and scale of change that is necessary. As deployment of new energy technologies accelerates, can solutions be found to cover the full range

Emerging Conceptions of Work, Management and the Labor Market Research in the Sociology of Work, Volume 30

Editor

Steven Vallas Northeastern University, USA

SynopsisEconomic institutions are undergoing radical transformations, and with these has come a reconfi guration of labor market institutions, managerial conceptions of work, and the nature of authority and control over employees as well. Yet many of these changes remain poorly understood. This volume provides a sampling of state-of-the art theory and research in the fi eld, and addresses a wide array of questions that are vital for managers, policy makers, labor unions, and employees themselves. How has new technology changed the job search process? How has the Great Recession a� ected racial boundaries within the labor market? What forms of managerial thinking underlie the proliferation of downsizing as a strategic practice? How have employees responded to labor market uncertainty? What shifts are unfolding within particular sectors, such as fi nance or health care? And how have norms been mobilized as a source of control over the performance of service work? By addressing these and other questions, this volume points the way forward for social scientifi c views of work and labor markets as pivotal institutions within contemporary societies.

The Trump Phenomenon: How the Politics of Cruelty Won in 2016 Society Now

Author

Peter Kivisto Augustana College, USA

SynopsisOn November 8, 2016, American voters elected Donald J. Trump to become the 45th President of the United States. Peter Kivisto analyses how this happened, focusing on who Trump is, who his supporters are, and the role of the media, right-wing Christians, and the Republican Party in making Trump’s victory possible. The book concludes with an analysis of this phenomenon as America’s version of right-wing populism and illustrates how it poses a threat to democracy.

In looking at who supported Trump, the book o� ers a demographic portrait of his white electoral base and an analysis of their worldview and positions on such hot button issues as white privilege, racial discrimination, immigration, and gender inequality. Kivisto goes on to explore the role of the media in assisting Trump’s rise to power, including an analysis of the mainstream’s uncritical embrace of Trump as a ratings bonanza, and the role played by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News. Finally, the book assesses the way that the Republican Party has been transformed into a party that is dependent on a core constituency of right-wing extremists, refl ecting on the Trump phenomenon as America’s manifestation of right-wing populism - a movement that, it is argued, poses a threat to democratic values and practices.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Governance: Concepts, Perspectives and Emerging Trends in Ibero-America Developments in Corporate Governance and Responsibility, Volume 11

Editors

Lina Gomez Universidad del Este, Puerto Rico

David Crowther De Montfort University, UK

Lucely Vargas Johannes Kepler University, Austria

SynopsisCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has grown in importance, signifi cance, and acceptance in the last decades in di� erent scenarios and sectors. CSR has been included in multiple debates, theories, studies, and research around the world. Over the past decade, Ibero-American countries (Latin America, Portugal, and Spain) have improved in economic terms where CSR practices have helped in this development. Community-based initiatives have emerged in the last years in Ibero-America as a result of CSR commitment among organizations, especially multilateral agencies that have served as a link between government, private sector, and society. In spite of these CSR e� orts, there are still many inequalities in this region. This book explores and examines di� erent concepts, perspectives and emerging trends about CSR and Corporate Governance in Ibero-America. More specifi cally, it makes contributions and develops suggestions for understanding and analyzing the complex relationship between organizations, business, and society in a region that is still embracing the di� erent opportunities that CSR has for improving quality of life.

Sustainable Negotiation: What Physics Can Teach Us About International Negotiation Author

Eliane Karsaklian Université Sorbonne, France

SynopsisThe book explains how science went through the same struggle 100 years ago. When experimenters were no longer seeing the results they expected from the laws of classical physics, quantum mechanics evolved to provide a new model. In addition, the book shows how many useful ideas that explain the natural world—including uncertainty, probability, paradox and context—have practical applications for negotiators working internationally. And it does this in a colorful way that’s easy for business professionals to understand: using rainbows, light waves and a cat to explain them. Then it introduces the concept of Sustainable Negotiation to replace the old notion of winning. Instead of “doing a deal” and walking away, negotiation becomes a continuous process of solving problems and creating a relationship with no term limits. This refl ects the world today. Just as we strive to create a sustainable approach to the natural world, we need to do the same as people if we want to keep living together and build a better business world. No other book has ever explored the parallels between physics and international negotiation. In addition to presenting complex ideas in a simple way, this book features a list of key ideas at the end of each chapter.

SynopsisStakeholder theory is used for many purposes in a wide array of disciplines. It was intended to serve as a strategic management tool for business and society relationships in a capitalist system. While it has broad scholarly appeal, it is still somewhat controversial and is considered to be empirically underdeveloped. This new book o� ers a series of ten chapters from well-known, established and emerging business and society scholars working with stakeholder theory in its many aspects. Each chapter is centered on a di� erent sub-topic related to stakeholder management, written by the actual published experts on that sub-topic. The chapters stand alone as comprehensive pieces of scholarship in themselves, but they are intimately related and interwoven so as to give readers an overall sense of cohesion around the area of stakeholder management.

SynopsisThere have been a number of sporadic and disconnected initiatives to improve knowledge transfer between the tourism academia, government and industry. This volume presents and analyses 17 examples of knowledge transfer from countries around the world to identify future directions for business and government managers and academic researchers. Many of the chapters were presented at the fi rst t-Forum global conference. The chapters emphasise the value from academic leadership in developing cohesion and links amongst small business and government, and the importance of a shared innovative vision beyond individual private and public organization objectives. Successful initiatives rely on the personal characteristics of key stakeholders as well as institutional arrangements, emphasising action learning and challenging traditional academic research processes. Best practice knowledge transfer requires government, industry and academia in partnership engaged in open dialogue and debate for project success. Knowledge transfer provides an opportunity to address unprecedented societal, environmental and technological change and disruption.

Walking: Connecting Sustainable Transport with Health Transport and Sustainability, Volume 9

SynopsisThis book combines core chapters on di� erent aspects of sustainable transport and health, together with case studies of particular approaches to synthesise walking and health in cities around the globe. Walking as a research area is multifaceted and this book presents chapters which synthesise the current state of research and practice, which will be of interest to readers, both academic and professional, and point to areas that will feature prominently in future research domains.

Although the links between transport and health have long been recognised in the transport and health disciplines separately, it is a fairly recent phenomenon that they have been seen as a legitimate inter- and multi-disciplinary area. The areas of intersection have become more obvious with better understanding between the di� erent disciplines with mutual and explicit understanding that great benefi ts come from recognising synergies between disciplinary approaches to similar problems. The connections between walking and health have benefi ted from a better understanding of the contributions of di� erent disciplines

This book exploits this multidisciplinary approach. The book is presented in a number of sections.
