Handbook of Research on Managing Managers
Edited by Adrian Wilkinson, Professor of Employment Relations, Griffith University, Keith Townsend, Associate Professor of Employment Relations, Griffith Business School, Griffith University and Gabriele Suder, Principal Fellow, Melbourne Business School, The University of Melbourne, Australia
ISBN 978 1 78347 428 8
Description
This book explores the changing role of managers in the workplace.
In recent years, there has been considerable debate on the future of management, with both pessimistic and optimistic views being put forward. However, in the wake of delayering, downsizing, re-engineering and the pursuit of leanness, the more gloomy perspective has gained currency, especially in the popular managerial literature, and some have pronounced the end of management altogether. Some paint a more optimistic picture of managers and managers’ work with roles being transformed rather than replaced and the new organisational context providing more demanding work but greater autonomy and increased skill development.
With contributions from experts in the field, this book is concerned with the way organisations manage their managers and how this continues to evolve with reference to global issues.
‘This exciting and comprehensive Handbook brings together leading international HR scholars to review existing research and highlight the current and future cross-cutting issues and challenges facing managerial practice and education. It is a particularly stimulating read in defining the field and setting the future research agenda.’
– Susan Cartwright, Lancaster University, UK

International Business under Adversity
ISBN 978 1 84720 374 8
Description
While Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel she shared her hopes for humanity:
"I hope that some day, perhaps not in my time or my children's time, but in my grandchildren's time, war will become like cannibalism, completely unthinkable."
For war to be unthinkable, business must be a part of the solution. Gabriele Suder's new volume recognizes the imperative of peace and brings many of the best thinkers in the world together to ask how the private sector can contribute to a peaceful future for our planet.
With strikingly new ideas, International Business under Adversity is must reading for business leaders and students alike.

Terrorism and the International Business Environment
ISBN 978 1 84376 801 2
Description
This book was born from the editor's conviction that a wide set of contributors should provide the
economic and corporate sectors with guidelines, developed from rigorous research and case studies,
to analyse those adjustments made necessary through international terrorism, as known since
September 11th 2001. It argues that corporate asset protection and accurate business risk assessment is vital to the longevity, and resilience of business.
The volume reveals how the pre-9/11-era of contemporary economic history gave birth to a nexus of a) globalisation b) increased systemic vulnerability and complexity and c) the transitions of terrorism. As a result, the post-9/11-era is one which should incorporate risk analysis audits on a regular basis, political and geopolitical risk research, the use of quantitative risk assessment and qualitative risk analysis to implement risk strategy planning, its management and appropriate risk transfer considerations.
