The Global and the Local
'...there is... no lack of ambition in this book. And yet, unlike much of what today comes as sociology, it is fun to read, written in a way that combines the very abstract and the very concrete, the principles of general theories and the anecdotes of specific histories, in ways that are enlightening and entertaining at the same time. Those who take the book to heart will find themselves in possession of a language that can speak about 'globalization' in a non-sensationalist manner without, however, in any way detracting from its significance - in fact, quite to the contrary. They will much better and more systematically understand the lasting significance of the local in a world whose horiz...
The Global and the Local
Arndt Sorge presents a sociological theory of the development of human societies to explain how business systems evolve and change, and how internationalisation works to specify and change societal identities within nations. Sorge shows how this interaction is a pattern that has been followed over centuries.
Comparative International Management
The use of comparisons to explain, analyze and understand social and economic phenomena is recognized as a valuable social science tool. This textbook deals with the differences in management and organization between nations and their effects on multinational enterprises. In comparing management practice across the world, the authors cover themes such as national cultures, diversity and globalization. Students are guided through the key business disciplines, providing a broad introduction to the field and including truly global coverage. With student and instructor friendly resources such as chapter summaries, mini-case scenarios, larger case studies and power-point slides, this book is core reading for students of international business and international management.
How Universal Are the Nature and Process of Strategy? an Ebook in Honor of Arndt Sorge
This ebook features four articles selected from the papers presented during a special issue research workshop organized in honor of Professor Arndt SorgeOCOs contribution to the societal effect approach. The scope and purpose of this ebook is to draw interconnections between domains of strategy and the societal effect approach. Specifically, the four articles contribute to: (i) highlighting the connections between strategy and societal influences; and (ii) advancing the ways in which nationally-shaped institutional logics are fostered in strategy research."
Embedding Organizations
The widely discussed ‘globalization’ of economic activities has given rise to a renewed interest in the relations between such tendencies, the nature and demarcation of societies, and the nature and strategies of various actors and organizations within and cross-cutting societies. One approach to capture and express these themes has been Societal Analysis, initially developed above all to confront the internationally comparative study of work, organization, education and training, industrial relations, business and industrial structures. After twenty-five years of practising and developing Societal Analysis, this book serves to systematize and redefine the approach, and to react to criti...
Industrial Relations and Technical Change
Argues that the demand for highly skilled labour and flexibility of work organisation increases the functional role of industrial relations while, at the same time, undermining the role of traditional semi- autonomous institutional subsystems. Suggests that product market developments may not only revive older, radical concepts of labour- oriented product policy but also induce trade unions to adopt a more conscious regard to product, marketing and technical strategies.
The IEBM Handbook of Organizational Behaviour
Understanding organizational behaviour means knowing how and why businesses and other organizations operate in the way they do. Organization behaviour has become a well established multidisciplinary field, drawing on concepts from sociology and psychology, as well as from economics, industrial and labour relations, political science, production engineering and social anthropology. It applies academic disciplines to the practical realm of business in order to reveal the underlying structures and human dynamics that influence the day to day reality of management throughout the world. This handbook offers a comprehensive reference guide to organizational behaviour thinking and practice and brings together a collection of original essays, integrating the respective elements of organizational behaviour into a unified field of study.
