The Disintegrati on of Producti onFirm Strategy and Industrial Development in ChinaEdited by Mariko Watanabe, Gakushuin University, Japan‘It is a conventi onal belief that the Chinese industrial economy is dominated by large state-owned enterprises closely connected with politi cal power. While this percepti on is correct for some industries, such as petroleum refi nery, this fascinati ng book edited by Mariko Watanabe presents us with a vivid picture of another side of the economy, where smaller enterprises specialized in separate modular products compete and complete with each other on the basis of a common platf orm, contributi ng to its dynamism. The book combines fresh theorizing and hypothesizing, derived from inti mate fi eld works with empirical testi ng. This is certainly an eye-opening work for everyone interested in the future of the Chinese economy.’

– Masahiko Aoki, Stanford University, US

In the past two decades, China has experienced rapid industrial and economic growth. This fascinati ng book explores the unique Chinese business strategy of vigorous market entry and low prices, which has been the key feature of this accelerated industrial growth.

The Economics of Moti vati on and Organizati onAn Introducti onPeter-J. Jost, WHU – Ott o Beisheim School of Management, Vallendar, GermanyIn this unique book, Peter-J. Jost provides a comprehensive economic-psychological approach for successfully managing employees. Based on the analysis of the employee’s individual work behavior, he illustrates that instead of treati ng employees as input elements of producti on, and managing and controlling their work, organizati ons need to moti vate their employees to act in the interest of the fi rm and in accordance with its goals.

The author considers the employee as the ‘building block’ holding economic organizati ons together, and outlines how their personal circumstances, behavior and working conditi ons aff ect moti vati on. The infl uence of individual decision-making processes and psychological factors on behavior in the workplace is also discussed. Theoreti cal insights are underpinned by a range of case studies, and the impact of inadequate leadership on fi rms is highlighted. Moti vati on problems within organizati ons are evaluated and potenti al soluti ons prescribed.

Handbook of Research on Internati onal Strategic ManagementEdited by Alain Verbeke, University of Calgary, Canada, University of Cambridge, UK and University of Brussels (VUB), Belgium and Hemant Merchant, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, US‘Leading thinkers about the multi nati onal enterprise off er both concise syntheses and criti cal refl ecti ons of the state of the art on internati onal strategic management research. They in parti cular highlight the potenti al of internalizati on theory as a central paradigm for the fi eld, and criti cally examine perti nent issues such as the complex noti on of distance in internati onal business. Refreshingly, they do not shy away from naming fl aws in recent work, while off ering avenues to improve the quality and impact of future research.’

Economics of Corporate Social ResponsibilityEdited by Abagail McWilliams, University of Illinois at Chicago, US‘The academic debate over CSR and its implicati ons to the economy and society has been vast over the past decades. The current collecti on composes an innovati ve, thorough and holisti c review of the literature regarding the economics of CSR. The contributi ons are categorized under the prism of their subject rather than their discipline. Therefore, the reader is being off ered a unique, outstanding guidance throughout this imperati ve branch of the economics literature.’

– Evangelos Mitrokostas, University of Portsmouth, UK

In recent years, increasing numbers of arti cles and studies have emerged across the disciplines of economics, accounti ng, fi nance and management to examine the importance of considering both the private and social economic benefi ts of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). As stakeholders and their concerns have multi plied, and empirical evidence has accumulated, CSR has become a criti cal area of interest.

Business Models for SustainabilityPeter E. Wells, Cardiff University, UK‘Business Models for Sustainability breaks new ground by combining three important insights. First, achieving sustainability requires socio-technical transiti ons that entail new technologies, producti on processes, lifestyles, and consumpti on patt erns. Second, fi rms play crucial roles in mediati ng between sustainable producti on and consumpti on. Third, radical innovati ons require organizati onal innovati ons and new business models. Peter Wells successfully combines these “big picture” ideas with rich in-depth case studies drawing on years of accumulated experti se. Highly recommended.’

Mastering the Ethical Dimensions of Organizati onsA Self-Refl ecti ve Guide to Organizati onsDonna Ladkin, Plymouth Graduate School of Management, UK‘This book guides students and practi ti oners through the building blocks of ethical practi ce. It provides readers with an opportunity to refl ect on their beliefs and develop skills they need to competently resolve the thorny ethical problems of organizati onal life. Ladkin grounds her discussion in virtue ethics and the ethics of care but never lets the philosophic theories weigh it down. The book off ers an intellectually sound, friendly, and helpful take on the practi ce of organizati onal ethics.’

– Joanne B. Ciulla, University of Richmond, US

‘Donna Ladkin gives us an enti rely novel and creati ve approach to thinking about, and importantly, doing and teaching ethics. The book is practi ce-based in the best sense of the word, using meditati on and other att enti on techniques to enhance awareness, inquiry, and ulti mately ethical insight at the personal and organizati onal levels. It is accessible to students at all levels of learning, with exercises that will generate personal insights. At the same ti me, it is grounded in a wide range of sources, both philosophical and managerial, that enhance the credibility of its approach. This book will enhance the ethics and the lives of people who read it and practi ce its approaches.’

Internati onal Perspecti ves on Business Innovati on and Disrupti on in the Creati ve IndustriesFilm, Video and PhotographyEdited by Robert DeFillippi, Suff olk University, US and Patrik Wikström, Queensland University of Technology, Australia‘Independent fi lm makers and local media companies use the digital transformati on of the business to fi nd new ways for producing, funding and broadcasti ng their works of art. Their innovati ve ideas change the existi ng value chains and create new relati ons between arti sts and audiences that have previously been unimaginable. This is a great collecti on of chapters that give insight into a fascinati ng fi eld of study: congratulati ons to the authors and editors!’

– Kathrin M. Möslein, University Erlangen-Nuremberg and HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, Germany

This volume examines how disrupti ve innovati ons are reshaping industry boundaries and challenging conventi onal business models and practi ces in the industries for fi lm, video and photography. The thirteen chapters provide a rich and diverse account of these processes from a wide range of country contexts. The book fi lls the gap between the study of disrupti on by innovati on scholars in business schools and the recogniti on of disrupti on by academics and practi ti oners from non-business school disciplines and contexts, including the broader social sciences.

– Greg Dyke, Chair, Briti sh Film Insti tute; Chair, Football Associati on; Chancellor, University of York, UK and Director-General of the BBC 2000–2004

Mobile Telecommunicati ons NetworksRestructuring as a Response to a Challenging EnvironmentPeter Curwen and Jason Whalley, Northumbria University, UKDuring the past decade, no industry has grown faster than that of mobile communicati ons, yet coverage of its operati ons remains scarce. This state-of-the-art book examines the evolving structure and strategic behaviour of the thirty largest operators in the mobile communicati ons industry.

The focus of the book is on service providers, who are the primary interface between the industry and its users. The discussion gives emphasis to the most prominent operators and is divided into regions for ease of analysis. Prior to this there is an examinati on of where these companies stand in relati on to the FT500 largest companies in the world and an analysis of Merger and Acquisiti on (M&A) acti vity in the industry. The authors also provide a review of the latest wave of technology known as Long Term Evoluti on (LTE). Through detailed case studies, the book demonstrates the complexity of the industry’s structure and sheds light on such controversies as corporate taxati on. Peter Curwen and Jason Whalley conclude with an overview of where the industry has been and more importantly, where it is going.
