Socio-Cultural Integration in Mergers and Acquisitions
Taking a fresh and much-needed perspective on the management of international acquisitions, this book focuses on socio-cultural integration, and in particular the importance of emotions and values. The authors build on the human-centric and typically Nordic approach to mergers and acquisitions by presenting rich empirical cases of cross-border acquisitions conducted by leading Nordic multinationals. This book goes beyond merely stating that successful human integration leads to sociocultural convergence and presents how this can actually be accomplished. The authors offer theoretical approaches and practical solutions which have the potential of improving employee motivation and well-being, and in doing so, ultimately enhancing the chances of successful acquisition outcomes. Providing concrete examples of successful practices for managing socio-cultural integration and facilitating employee commitment, this book will appeal to both scholarly and practitioner audiences.
Managing Emotions in Organizations
This book takes a fresh perspective to acquisition research, focusing on employee emotions. It builds on the human-centric approach to mergers and acquisitions, where previous literature has concluded that emotions are important, yet few studies have explored them in depth. To fill the gap, this book takes emotion research in organizations as its starting point, exploring what emotions are, how they emerge, and how they influence organizational contexts, such as acquisitions. Whereas previous acquisition literature has concluded that emotions are most often negative and lead to complications, this book shows how emotions can become a positive force driving post-acquisition change and unification. This book combines multidisciplinary theoretical insights with practical real-world case studies to provide detailed analysis and approachable findings that will appeal to academics and practitioners alike.
Emotions and Identity
This volume focuses on the role of emotions in forming and sustaining identities at work, and the value of exploring these topics from various theoretical and methodological points of view. This volume recognizes the depth of emotion and identity at work by addressing these topics on individual, occupational, and social role levels
Handbook of Longitudinal Research Methods in Organisation and Business Studies
This Handbook is a very timely contribution to organization and business studies. Most calls for longitudinal research are made in sections of published work that deal with limitations of the study or suggestions for further research. This book places longitudinal research methods at center stage. With its practical, hands-on approach it guides us how to design a longitudinal study in and around organizations whether qualitative or quantitative and how to implement it. I warmly recommend this Handbook to ambitious senior and junior researchers. It makes the commonly presented excuses for not undertaking longitudinal research completely redundant.

Myrskyn silmä
Tyyntä myrskyn edellä Ann Rosmanin seitsemännessä Karin Adler -dekkarissa Myrskyn silmä yli sadan vuoden takaisen tulipalon jäljet johtavat nykypäivän tragediaan Vuonna 1867 Marstrandin saarella nuori piika Johanna synnyttää aviottoman lapsen. Se on suuri häpeä, ja lapsi otetaan häneltä pois. Lastaan ikävöivä Johanna jää asumaan saarelle ja kohtaa lisää vastoinkäymisiä, kun tuhoisa tulipalo alkaa riehua seudulla. 150 vuotta myöhemmin Marstrand kukoistaa ja uusi hotelli on avannut ovensa. Saarelle vanhempainvapaalla palannut etsivä Karin Adler on ystävystynyt hotellin omistajan kanssa. Kun lähistöllä ankkurissa olevalla rahtilaivalla tapahtuu epäilyttävä kuolemantapaus ja salaperäinen helikopteri alkaa kaarrella saaren yllä, alkaa Adler tutkia tapahtumia omin päin. Miten 150 vuotta sitten saarella elänyt piika liittyy epäilyttävään kuolemantapaukseen ja saaren uuteen hotelliin? Jotakin pahaa on tapahtumassa Marstrandissa, ja Karin Adler joutuu pian uransa vaikeimman arvoituksen eteen. Ann Rosmanin dekkarisarjan jännityksentäyteinen seitsemäs osa Myrskyn silmä tarjoaa yllätyksiä ja juonenkäänteitä aina viimeiselle sivulle saakka.
Johanna D'arc
Eletään 1400-lukua. Kirjan kertoja, Sieur Louis De Conte, on saanut tehtävän toimia Johanna (Jeanne) D’arcin kirjurina. Ja D'arcin elämässä riittääkin seurattavaa; ylenihän ranskalainen D’arc sukupuolestaan huolimatta sotajohtajaksi hyvin nuorena. Näkyjä nähnyt D’arc koki kuitenkin traagisen kohtalon vain 19-vuotiaana. "Johanna D’arc" on Mark Twainin historiallinen romaani vuodelta 1896. Twain on itse nimennyt sen suosikikseen kaikista teoksistaan – romaani on mukaansatempaava tarina alkuun tavallisen oloisesta tytöstä, jonka elämästä muodostui kaikkea muuta kuin tavallinen. Mark Twain (1835–1910) oli yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija, joka työskenteli myös kullankaivajana ja toimittajana. Twain julkaisi kaunokirjallisuutta sekä lapsille että aikuisille. Monet hänen teoksistaan ovat huumorin sävyttämiä. Hänet tunnetaan erityisesti teoksista "Huckleberry Finnin seikkailut" sekä "Tom Sawyerin seikkailut".
