Review Japanese Immigrant Entrepreneurs in New York City: A New Wave of Ethnic Business (Studies in Entrepreneurship) / Routledge:This book examines the entrepreneurial activities of contemporary Japanese immigrants in New York to determine what makes their pattern of business so unique. Existing theories of immigrant entrepreneurship focus on a specific mode of business characterized by entrepreneurs who come to the U. S. in a chain-like pattern, make intensive use of cheap co-ethnic labor, and grow rapidly through horizontal and/or vertical integration. This study shows that Japanese immigrant businesses do not fit this model because their advantaged national origin no longer requires such strategies. The author finds that most Japanese entrepreneurs come to the U. S. as independent adults, rather than as part of chain migration. They receive occupational training through education institutions and formal employment, then move into business ownership as realization of long-term career goals. These entrepreneurs do use ethnic resources to gain access to customers, business contacts, finances and employees, but they also make liberal use of non-ethnic resources, and there is no evidence of the use of a traditional informal banking system. [+]The study finds that the business typology constructed by the ethnic origin of products and customers is useful for predicting the use of ethnic and non-ethnic resources, as well as for measuring the level of assimilation of the business owner. Also includes maps. (Ph. D. dissertation, SUNY Albany, 1996; revised with new preface).

Review Human Competence and Business Development: Emerging Patterns in European Companies / Springer:The competitiveness of European companies is largely dependant on their ability to adapt to new social and technical innovations. This often involves major realignments of their business ideas, work organisation and technology, and also requires the development of new competencies on the part of production personnel. This book examines the processes which take place within companies undergoing such realignments. It provides a frame of reference for evaluating the character, depth and stability of the changes taking place, and the nature of the new competencies which emerge. This framework offers a tool which management and unions can utilise when dealing with these issues in real life. The application of this framework is illustrated by eleven case studies based on manufacturing and process industry companies from different European countries.

Review The Creative Enterprise [Three Volumes]: Managing Innovative Organizations and People / Praeger Publishers:"Create"-to make or bring into existence something new, derived from the Latin crescere, to grow. Creativity is the lifeblood of any business-from fledgling startup to global giant, creativity is what inspires entrepreneurs to take the leap into the unknown, motivates project teams to design faster and better products, drives executives to set their sights on new markets and customers. Where does this creativity come from? How can it be channeled into profitable ventures? The Creative Enterprise brings together the most current thinking from academics and practitioners around the world to shed new light on creativity and how it drives business growth. It addresses such topics as: Why are some organizations creative and others are not? What catalyzes new ideas? How can leaders balance short-term financial pressures and long-term creative aspirations? And how can firms maximize the value of their ideas into profitable products and services? While many authors have tackled pieces of the puzzle, this set uniquely integrates insights from the fields of management, economics, technology, psychology, and sociology, to cover the spectrum across individual and organizational innovation. Volume 1 focuses on innovation strategies, with chapters on developing the new product pipeline, measuring the impact of innovation on firm growth, technology transfer, and strategic alliances. Volume 2 considers the individual and organizational aspects of innovation, with chapters on creativity and artwork, idea catalysts and blocks, and the interplay between organizational culture and innovation. Volume 3 covers the infrastructure for promoting and sustaining innovation, with chapters on managing creative teams, selecting and funding projects, and developing effective performance measurement and rewards systems.

Review Governing Risks (The International Library of Essays in Law and Society) / Ashgate Publishing:Contemporary law and government are increasingly characterized by a focus on risk. Fields such as health, psychiatry, criminal justice, vehicle safety, urban design and environmental governance all provide examples of settings in which problems are dealt with as risks. While risk has become more prominent, there have also been changes in the nature of risk techniques deployed. Whereas welfare states provided many services through socialized risk - such as social insurances covering health, employment and old age - increasing emphasis is now placed on individual risk management arrangements such as private insurance. In this environment, the positive side of risk has also been made more salient. Enterprise, innovation and risk-taking have become qualities valued, or even required, of current governance. In this volume, the most influential examinations and interpretations of this major trend have been brought together, in order to make clear the range and diversity, the spread and penetration of risk in contemporary societies.
