DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book provides cutting edge research and knowledge and an academic study of the impact of globalisation in different areas affecting management and how management is responding. It gives a comprehensive analysis of what is actually happening and likely future trends. It is not just a focus on 'convergence' arguments, but integrates a broader view of still remaining regional and national differences in management and organisation. The book draws on new theoretical approaches in the field of international business, highlighting areas such as Anglo-German subsidiaries of MNCs, HRM practices and change management processes or employment relations in US-based MNCs in Europe and many other aspects.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe middle management role in strategy execution remains a critical issue in the success of strategic initiatives. The management literature has viewed middle managers as 1) implementers of top management defined strategic changes, 2) relationship managers in strategic-change programs and 3) key strategic actors in the emergence of the strategic change. The paper summarizes the development of these three views of the strategic implementation role of middle management. The perceptions of experienced European middle managers are used to validate and augment the three formulations. Conclusions are drawn that yield 1) insights into the middle-management roles in strategic changes, 2) a preliminary typology of these middle-management roles and 3) an exploratory test of the sufficiency of this typology in covering the breadth of middle-management role behaviors in strategic change initiatives. Implications for further research on the role set of middle managers in the implementation of strategic-change initiatives are drawn.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1971, this collection of fourteen contemporaneous European research studies on managerial backgrounds and on the patterns, roles, and evolution of managerial careers examine managerial motivations in a broader context than the traditional analysis of psychological qualities. Most of the studies suggest or demonstrate the usefulness of a typology of industrial leaders — whether constructed from individual characteristics, the characteristics of the firm or the characteristics of the economy as a whole — that avoids isolating industrial executives from outside factors. This book will be of interest to students of business, sociology and industrial history.

We intend to make this event as enjoyable as possible both on scientific and human aspects. As in previous years, ECCWS will address elements of both theory and practice of all aspects of Information Warfare and Security, and offers an opportunity for academics, practitioners and consultants involved in these areas to come together and exchange ideas. We also wish to attract operational papers dealing with the critical issue that the modern world has to face regarding the evolution of cyberwarfare capabilities development by nation states.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe increasing number of cross-border alliances and mergers both within Europe and between Europe and other parts of the world have made it imperative for students of management to have a thorough understanding of the European context for human resource management (HRM). This book enables managers and students to become "fluent" in the many various environments, approaches and practices that exist across Europe for managing human resources. The text employs comprehensive comparable representative data collected longitudinally during the last decade and it also draws directly on the expertise of leading HRM scholars. Entirely fresh analyses of HRM in Europe, based on new and hitherto unpublished data are presented and this analysis is critically important for students, researchers and also for practitioners. The book is divided into three parts: concepts and theoretical issues , trends in relation to these issues and comparisons between individual countries, and summaries and conclusions on the issue of convergence and divergence.
