Review Entrepreneurship: Critical Perspectives on Business and Management / Routledge:

This new collection provides a much needed retrospective view of the key academic work published in this area. The papers here highlight the importance of studying entrepreneurship from a wide range of perspectives, including research that derives from economics, history, sociology, psychology and from different business disciplinary bases such as marketing, finance and strategy. The overall focus in this set is on "entrepreneurial" activity, rather than specifically small or family-owned business and favours research articles over those that deal purely with practice.

Review Ecological Economics (Critical Concepts in the Environment) / Routledge:

Edited by a leading scholar in the field, this new four-volume Routledge Major Work brings together canonical and cutting-edge research in Ecological Economics. In tracing both the development of thought in the field, as well as exploring the most recent scholarship, diverse elements of the rapidly expanding literature are brought together for the first time, providing an overview of - and vision for - Ecological Economics. While the roots of Ecological Economics can be traced back to the late 1800s the modern movement developed from diverse writings in the following century. The field became fully established and institutionalized in the late 1980s. This collection shows how research questioning the basis of mainstream economics combined with a concern for environmental degradation and limits to growth to produce Ecological Economics. There are also many academics who, while not calling themselves ecological economists, have ideas which are directly of relevance. The common interest, as shown in Parts I-III of the collection, has been to move beyond standard economic approaches and towards a new political economy which takes note of learning in other sciences. The collection identifies the key areas where socio-economics has interacted with other disciplines to produce Ecological Economics. This interaction involves rethinking the extant mechanistic modelling approach adopted by economists in the late 1800s and reflection on the insights of biological and ecological methodology, such as evolutionary theory. In Parts IV and V, the importance of physical laws for economic theories of growth, production and technical change are explored. [+]
This leads into the area of limits to growth and the more recent literature on sustainable development. Part of the debate about sustainable development shows how important formal and informal institutions are for explaining the continuation of environmental degradation and likewise in offering options for a new future. Part VI focuses on institutional analysis and resource use. Two other areas arising from the concern for sustainable development and environmental management are also addressed in Parts VII and VIII, namely uncertainty and future generations. Parts IX and X pick up on the theme of environmental values and their expression showing the pluralistic and interdisciplinary understanding required to progress policy in this area. Environmental ethics is given specific attention in Part X. In this work, a standard criticism levelled against critics of mainstream economics is that even if their arguments are true they offer no valid alternatives. Parts XI-XIII demonstrate that a diverse range of new approaches are being developed for policy analysis and that specific tools are also being put into practice. Such tools relate to the concerns explored in the preceding volumes. Besides identifying and collecting seminal works in the field, the editor has also chosen certain pieces for their ability cogently to summarize and explain developments and ongoing thinking. Ecological Economics is now a vibrant and dynamic field, but it has to date lacked a coherent guide to its rapidly expanding literature. Aided by the collection's thematic organization and the editor's newly written Introduction, this Major Work will enable users to make sense of the wide range of approaches, theories, and concepts that have informed research in Ecological Economics to date. It is an essential collection destined to be valued as a vital research resource by all scholars and students of the subject.

Review Cross-Cultural Management (Critical Perspectives on Business & Management) / Routledge:

"Cross-Cultural Management" is a new four-volume collection in the Routledge Major Works series, "Critical Perspectives on Business and Management". It meets the need for an authoritative, up-to-date, and comprehensive reference work synthesizing the increasingly diverse cross-cultural management literature. Indeed, the sheer scale of the growth in related research output - and the breadth of the field - makes this collection especially timely and welcome. "Cross-Cultural Management" provides the most comprehensive collection of classic and contemporary contributions on the subject to date. It facilitates ready access to the most influential and important works across the field, combining the theory and application in the process to encourage a broader appreciation of the discipline and the mutual influences within it. Volume I is dedicated to the conceptual antecedents of cross-cultural management, covering all the major approaches and frameworks along with several noted critiques. Volumes II and III examine how national culture influences management practice; material assembled here includes essential contributions on adaptation and assimilation, communication, negotiation, and cross-national teams. Volume IV, meanwhile, gathers the best work on methodological considerations. Each volume comprises foundational, cutting-edge, and less accessible research carefully selected and collated by the editors, two leading scholars in the field, as well as newly written introductions. The introductions are designed not just to place the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, but also to explain the relationships between the gathered works and to identify additional and promising areas of research. [+]
Together, the four volumes provide an essential one-stop resource for academics, students, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand a critical aspect of contemporary business management within an increasingly global economy.

Review Brands and Brand Management (Critical Perspectives on Business & Management) / Routledge:

The process of brand management originated in US consumer goods companies in the 1930s and is now firmly established as a core activity within the marketing department of any significant enterprise. In recent years, there has been a great surge of scholarly and popular interest in the subject. Almost every university offers courses in this area; new journals have formed that focus on brand issues; and an ever-increasing number of books and research articles attest to the growing attention paid to brands and their management. As work on brands and brand management flourishes now as it has never done before, this new title in the "Routledge" series, "Critical Perspectives on Business and Management", meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject's vast literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Edited by Richard Elliott, a prominent scholar in the field, "Brands and Brand Management" is a four-volume collection of classic and contemporary contributions. It brings together material drawn from the plethora of international business and management journals, as well as excerpts from key books and harder-to-find sources. This one-stop resource gathers not just the most important work on brands and how to manage them, but also key research on the fast-developing area of corporate reputation; the emerging areas of managing brands across cultures; and criticism of brands as pernicious elements of globalization. The first of the four volumes is dedicated to the historical antecedents of brands. It collects research exploring their evolution from signals of provenance and quality to their current status as carriers of symbolic meaning and trust. Volume II brings together the most important writing on the measurement and management of brand equity, including the two major proprietary approaches to the diagnosis of brand health. [+]
Volume III gathers the best and most influential thinking on corporate brands and business-to-business brands, and the management of corporate reputation. Volume IV covers the management of brands across cultural and international boundaries. It also contains indispensable scholarship on the emerging social critique of brands, as well as on the defense of their contribution to developing economies. Fully indexed and with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, "Brands and Brand Management" is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by marketing and business scholars - as well as those working in allied areas - as a vital research tool.
