When Innovation is considered one of the key drivers of corporate success, why do organisations struggle to implement it? Research suggests that innovations fail due to a lack of acceptance by employees; therefore an understanding of potential adopters and the factors influencing their decisions is essential. Despite much research on adoption of innovation by an organization, very little is known about its acceptance by individuals within it. Managing Innovation Adoption is about managing technological innovation implementation at work in an effective way by presenting a new theoretical framework. Based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the technology acceptance model (TAM) and other conceptual frameworks, Dr Talukder’s enhanced model combines factors from existing and original models to create a coherent new model. The data collected proves that it can be used to assist a broader understanding of how people in an organization adopt and use innovations. As well as contributing to academic knowledge, the author’s discoveries have practical implications for organizations, managers, administrators and employees.
In Multipreneurship: Diversification in Times of Crisis, Nick Harkiolakis argues against the more commonly held view that diversification at the level of the individual entrepreneur, rather than that of the established corporation, is the wrong business strategy to pursue in times of economic crisis.

Threats to job stability in today’s economic climate are expected to trigger latent entreprene...
The purpose of Organizational Justice during Strategic Change is to examine how an organizational justice framework can be used to explore employees’ perceptions of trust, fairness, and the management of transformation during a period of strategic change. The authors’ research findings from a detailed case study of employee interviews, conducted in a large privately-owned media organization, indicated employees who experience trust and positive feelings regarding their treatment within the organization are willing to become involved in the change process. They adopt positive working relationships with their colleagues and managers thus avoiding the perceptions of distrust and unfairness that can lead to resistance and negative behaviours.

This is an edited collection of email comments, FB statuses, WhatsApp texts, and YouTube Video/Talk Show links, with reference to online articles and editorials mostly in the UK-based popular and patriotic outlet -- www.amardesh.co.uk -- providing a dissident, yet an authentic and authoritative narrative of the political scenario of today’s Bangladesh under the gag order of the pro-Indian Hasina-led Awami fascism for about fourteen years now. All contents are critical of the Indianized fascist Awami regime, which has banished free press since 2009. All forms of mass media, print or electronic, are in complete control of the fascist lackeys and loyalists, who, in their ludicrous and patheti...
