Terror ao Pequeno Almoço
A gestão de empresas toca a vida de quase todas as pessoas. Porque estas gerem ou porque sofrem os efeitos das decisões de quem gere. As ideias que damos por adquiridas na gestão afetam-nos quando trabalhamos numa organização, quando corremos o risco de ser despedidos por causa de misteriosos indicadores financeiros ou quando precisamos das empresas como consumidores dos seus produtos e serviços. Acreditamos que vale a pena explorar a forma como todos nós interagimos uns com os outros quando trabalhamos numa organização. Dessa forma, poderemos chegar mais perto da realidade da gestão, levando a sério as nossas próprias experiências profissionais e refletindo sobre essas experiê...
Organizational Improvisation
Confronted with rapid and unpredictable environments, contemporary organizations are becoming more aware of the benefits of improvisation. By improvising, organizations create the capacity to make sudden adaptive moves, thus adapting in real time to unexpected events. Organizational improvisation is thus a new and exciting area in terms of practice and research. Organizational improvisation has important implications for such subjects as product innovation, teamworking and organizational renewal, and this new book brings together some of the best and most thought-provoking papers published in recent years. Organizational improvisation is now emerging as one of the most important areas of organizational science, and this book provides a comprehensive collection suitable for students, researchers and practitioners alike.

Handbook of Research on Strategy and Foresight
This important Handbook explores and evaluates dynamic environments and the appropriate strategic responses to them in the 21st century. Drawing together a collection of 29 original chapters, the Handbook makes an invaluable contribution to theory and practice by stimulating disciplined, rigorous and imaginative enquiry into the relationship between strategy and foresight. Leading scholars in the field of strategic management are brought together to offer innovative and multi-disciplinary perspectives on the past, present and future of strategy formation and foresight. In so doing, they challenge research in four key areas: strategy and foresight processes; strategy innovation for the future; understanding the future; and strategically responding to the future. The Handbook of Research on Strategy and Foresight is a comprehensive resource that will be invaluable for academics, students and practitioners interested in this important phenomenon.

Modes of Uncertainty
The notion of risk, while receiving a great deal of scholarly attention, cannot fully explain the forms of uncertainty that we see around the world today. Distinguishing between danger, risk, and uncertainty, the essays in this book, by a group of leading junior scholars, consider problems of uncertainty in various domains-finance and markets, security and humanitarianism, environment and health. While not ignoring previous scholarship on risk, this volume provides new analytical tools and case studies for understanding the many forms of uncertainty prevalent today. What kinds of truth claims about the future are common? What interventions are considered appropriate? What modes of subjectivity are produced within these policy frameworks? Modes of Uncertainty clears the path to answering these questions, among others, advancing our understanding of the forms of uncertainty that concern us all.
Management and Organization Paradoxes
Paradox — the simultaneous existence of two inconsistent states — has become orthodox. The orthodox is now the paradox. The orthodox world of ordering, controlling and organizing is increasingly opposed to a normalizing world of disordering, disrupting and disorganizing. And organization studies cannot avoid changing its conceptions of reality as that reality changes. In the future, organization studies will be the study of paradox, how to understand it, how to use it. In this book of original contributions addressed to management and organization paradoxes the authors address the new state of the field in terms of representations — representing paradoxes — and materialisations — m...
Environmental History in the Making
This book is the product of the 2nd World Conference on Environmental History, held in Guimarães, Portugal, in 2014. It gathers works by authors from the five continents, addressing concerns raised by past events so as to provide information to help manage the present and the future. It reveals how our cultural background and examples of past territorial intervention can help to combat political and cultural limitations through the common language of environmental benefits without disguising harmful past human interventions. Considering that political ideologies such as socialism and capitalism, as well as religion, fail to offer global paradigms for common ground, an environmentally positi...

You Shook Me All Campaign Long
Music has long played a role in American presidential campaigns as a mode of both expressing candidates’ messages and criticizing the opposition. The relevance of music in the 2016 campaign for the White House took various forms in a range of American media: a significant amount of popular music was used by campaigns, many artist endorsements were sought by candidates, ever changing songs were employed at rallies, instances of musicians threatening legal action against candidates burgeoned, and artists and others increasingly used music as a form of political protest before and after Election Day. The 2016 campaign was a game changer, similar to the development of music in the 1840 campaig...
