Reinventing Work in Europe
This book looks at the history of work and the meanings that are attached to it over time. Taking as its basis a number of international surveys and interviews conducted in Europe, the authors consider the significance of work for Europeans today. Over the years the meaning of work has changed. It has become more highly diversified, and it is today invested with high expectations that conflict with organisational developments and the changing nature of the labour market. The authors use a generational perspective to explore whether it is possible to reconcile the contemporary “ethos” of work, especially with regards to women and young people, with organisations that are increasingly under pressure to be profitable and productive. Reinventing Work in Europe will be of interest to scholars and students in the areas of sociology of work, employment and organizations, labour studies, digital economy, and political economy.

Responsible Leadership
These chapters on ‘Responsible Leadership’ represent the latest thinking on a topic of increasing relevance in a connected world. There are many challenges that still remain when it comes to establishing responsible leadership both in theory and practice. Whilst offering conceptualisations for the improvement of leadership is a first and perhaps easier response, what is more difficult is to facilitate the actual change to happen. These chapters will not only generate interest in the emerging domain of studies on responsible leadership, but also will pave the way for future research in this area in the years to come. Previously Published in the Journal of Business Ethics, Volume 98 Supplement 2, 2011
European Aeronautics
The book covers both the analysis of the major producer of civil aircraft (EADS/Airbus) located in the region and its relation with the cluster of enterprises within those regions. It studies the organization of production, the creation of knowledge within the industry, the concentration and competition among the two global producers, the overall financial situation of the sector, the specialization and specification of the different territories.
Global Challenges in Responsible Business
This book highlights critical challenges for business in a world where corporate responsibility has gone global.
Corporate Fraud and Corruption
Recent large-scale corporate collapses, such as Lehman Brothers, Enron, Worldcom, and Parmalat, highlight the implosion of traditional models of fraud prevention. By focusing on risk factors at the micro level, they have failed to take into account the broader context in which external auditors operate as well as the crucial importance of such factors as corruption, organizational culture, corporate social responsibility, ethical values, governance, ineffective regulation, and a lack of transparency. Corporate Fraud and Corruption engages readers by showing how evidence-based, multi-level micro and macro analysis of fraud risk and protective factors inform effective fraud prevention, in turn minimizing financial catastrophes. Krambia-Kapardis focuses on her own empirical research into the aetiology of fraud to showcase a holistic approach to fraud prevention. This book also features major case studies from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Die Verantwortung des Wirtschaftsakteurs
Natascha Hebestreit begründet hier die These: Für einen Wirtschaftsakteur besteht Verantwortung darin, berechtigte Vertragsansprüche zu erfüllen. Wenn nämlich derzeit in der Wirtschaft von „Verantwortung“ gesprochen wird, verbirgt sich dahinter eine höchst individuelle Interpretation. Es scheint, als könne eine Vielzahl unterschiedlichster Handlungen in diesen positiv besetzten Mantelbegriff gehüllt werden. Tatsächlich handelt es sich bei der Verantwortung aber um ein ganz konkretes Konzept, das wenig Spielraum für persönliche Auslegung lässt. Die Wirtschaftswissenschaften haben es allerdings bisher versäumt, die Verantwortung auf einen Begriff zu bringen, der es erlaubt, verantwortungsvolle Handlungen klar von Verantwortungslosigkeit zu unterscheiden. Das wird hier von der Autorin eindrucksvoll nachgeholt.
La société flexible
Le thème de la flexibilité du travail hante l’actualité sociale – française et européenne – depuis une quinzaine d’années, mêlant ruptures profondes et jugements à l’emporte-pièce. La société flexible est en marche, sans que l’on sache exactement vers où elle se dirige, qui elle emmène ou délaisse, quels sont ses ressorts et ses impasses. La flexibilité semble une réponse à la rigidité taylorienne, à l’entrée dans une économie de la variété et de l’innovation. Elle ouvre de nouvelles perspectives en matière de compétitivité des firmes ou de conciliation travail/famille. Mais comment occulter sa face sombre, faite de rupture des liens sociaux, de marg...
