Review Managing People in Entrepreneurial Organizations (Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth) (Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence ... Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth) / JAI Press:The last years of the 20th Century may well have reflected a brief "golden age" for Human Resource Management. In an economy where ideas and capital were plentiful, the critical facet for success increasingly became human resources. Having the people on hand, with the right skills to bring new products into existence with a first mover advantage became the definitive factor. As a result, policies and initiatives at the intersection of Entrepreneurship and Human Resource Management proliferated in an unprecedented way, and is the focus of this volume. As is traditional for the series, the volume includes two major reviews: of HRM in entrepreneurship and of stock related rewards. Volume 5 also includes leading-edge papers on topics emerging from the retrospective of the dot-com boom and bust, such as optimal methods of recruitment for smaller firms, defining and assessing the new concept of person-entrepreneurship fit, and the impact of union.

Review Economic Reforms, Growth And Inequality In Latin America: Essays In Honor Of Albert Berry / Ashgate Publishing:Growth, income distribution, and labour markets are issues of pivotal importance in the Latin American context. Examining unique theoretical issues and the empirical evidence, this book provides a critical analysis of the key elements of income distribution determinants, labour market functions, trade policies, and their interrelations. As the advance of globalization becomes seemingly unstoppable, this book provides an important reappraisal of the impact of this new phenomenon, and in particular, the perniclous impact it may have on income growth and distribution. The key objective of the volume is to integrate more fully the analysis of trade and labour market economists, in order to better understand the labour market and income distribution implications of globalization and international integration. Forty years after the early calls to appropriately investigate the micro foundations of macroeconomics, the separation of the two at the policy level is more damaging than ever before - particularly for developing regions; this volume therefore makes an important contribution at the theoretical and policy levels by bringing together macroeconomic and microeconomic analyses.

Review The Emerging Digital Economy: Entrepreneurship, Clusters, and Policy (Advances in Spatial Science) / Springer:The technology dynamics of the digital age continue to impact where industries and firms locate and cluster geographically. Some of the impacts and structural patterns are consistent with the old or Fordist economic era; some are not. Thus, the contributions provide a balanced view of the "New Economy" or "Digital Economy" perspective and through new analyses illustrate where dynamics seem to be emerging and where more traditional patterns seem to be holding. The book's contributions are based on analyses in specific regions in different parts of the world and are informed by empirical analysis. The volume is more than just another book on the digital economy based only on interpretive analysis. Consequently, the reader will gain considerable new insight based on a fact based foundation. A synthesis is provided that places the contributions in a broader frame. Policy implications are examined.

Review Entrepreneurship Education and Training / Ashgate Publishing:This work focuses on the neglected subject of the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and training. The book covers the areas of: entrepreneurship and economic development; entrepreneurship theories (traditional and alternative); entrepreneurship education and training programmes; a comparative European analysis of entrepreneurship programmes; a profile of the aspiring entrepreneur; assessing effectiveness; and a framework for the design and development of entrepreneurship training programmes. Readers should gain a significant insight into the effectiveness of entrepreneurship training programmes from both the programme providers' and participants' point of view. Key features of the book include: an up-to-date review of the literature in this field; a comparative analysis of entrepreneurship programmes with a European perspective; an in-depth treatment of the effectiveness issue both on a qualitative and quantitative basis, and a longitudinal study involving a control and comparator group. The study offers a research-based framework which should not only aid designers and providers of entrepreneurship training programmes, but should also improve the effectiveness of such programmes. The framework proposed by the authors should, with appropriate adaptation, be applicable on a European scale.

Review Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing: State-of-the-Art Synthesis of Research and Practice / Springer:Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing (GT/CM) have been widely-researched areas in the past 15 years and much progress has been made in all branches of GT/CM. Resulting from this research activity has been a proliferation of techniques for part-machine grouping, engineering data bases, expert system-based design methods for identifying part families, new analytical and simulation tools for evaluating performance of cells, new types of cell incorporating robotics and flexible automation, team-based approaches for organizing the work force and much more; however, the field lacks a careful compilation of this research and its outcomes. The editors of this book have commissioned leading researchers and implementers to prepare specific treatments of topics for their special areas of expertise in this broad-based philosophy of manufacturing. The editors have sought to be global both in coverage of topic matters and contributors. Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing addresses the needs and interests of three groups of individuals in the manufacturing field: academic researchers, industry practitioners, and students. (1) The book provides an up-to-date perspective, incorporating the advances made in GT/CM during the past 15 years. As a natural extension to this research, it synthesizes the latest industry practices and outcomes to guide research to greater real-world relevance. (2) The book makes clear the foundations of GT/CM from the core elements of new developments which are aimed at reducing developmental and manufacturing lead times, costs, and at improving business quality and performance. (3) Finally, the book can be used as a textbook for graduate students in engineering and management for studying the field of Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing.

Review Global Control: Information Technology and Globalization Since 1845 / Edward Elgar Publishing:This volume aims to achieve a clearer understanding of the long process of globalization by focusing on the crucial role of information and control technologies. Information systems and control technologies are key to globalization and, while generally facilitating the overall trend to spatial reorganization, they also effect change through the pervasive influence of "internal systems logic". Thus, the author argues, the dominant institutions of states, firms and markets transform global development and are themselves transformed by key information technologies. More specifically the book identifies the key phases of modern globalization and analyses the crucial role played by different information technologies at each point in time. Peter McMahon uses theory in political economy with writing on technological developemnts, and also combines cutting edge theory with historical evidence to provide a new explanation of the last one and a half centuries of globalization.

Review Advances in Development Economics / World Scientific Publishing Company:The importance of this book lies in its unique treatment of the economics of the developing countries. Emphasis is placed on the theoretical foundation of new theories and empirical models of development. A number of new topics are added in regard to the migration of labor force due to globalization, the relationship between private and public sectors, problems of regulations of the private sectors, problems of labor management in the era of globalization and transfer of organizational systems by the multinational companies from one country to another across cultural boundaries. Along with these new treatments of traditional topics such as population planning and monetary-fiscal policy, gender issues are included as well. The approach throughout is analytical, based on either theoretical or empirical models of the economy.
