In recent decades, due to unprecedented technological advancements,
Europe has seen a move towards on-demand service economies. This
has allowed the growth of self-employed professionals who are able
to satisfy an increasing demand for flexible and high-skilled work.
This book explores the need for reform of regulations in Europe,
studying the variance in legal status, working conditions, social
protection and collective representation of self-employed
professionals. It provides insights into ways that policy could
address these important challenges. Presenting the results of a
wide-reaching European survey, this book highlights key issues
being faced across Europe: the implementation of universal social
protection schemes; active labour market policies to support
sustainable self-employment and the renewal of social dialogue
through bottom-up organisations to extend the collective
representation of self-employed professionals. With its
theoretically-informed, empirical and interdisciplinary comparative
analysis, this book identifies and explains key strategies to
resolve these challenges. This book will be of great benefit to
both advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of labour and
economic sociology, political science, industrial relations, human
resource management and social law. It will also appeal to
scholars, practitioners and policymakers concerned with the labour
market and self-employment in the European context.
For MBA and final year undergraduate students, as well as those
studying specialist courses in Organizational Development and
Change. Explore and resolve complex organizational change issues by
applying theories into practice Organizational Change, 6th Edition,
by Senior, Swailes and Carnall reflects a rapidly evolving world
and explores 'how change has changed'. The book is structured into
three parts. The first part considers the causes and nature of
change. Part two opens up the organization to expand on issues of
structuring for change, the cultural and political contexts for
change and how to lead change. Part three moves firmly into
addressing the more practical considerations of designing, planning
and implementing change. Pearson, the world's learning company.
Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) have become features of
organizations as a result of both legal and societal advances as
well as neoliberal economic reasoning and considerations. While
current research approaches frequently fall short of addressing the
challenges faced in EDI research, this benchmark Handbook brings
coverage of research methods in EDI up to date, and advances the
development of research in the field. Bringing together well-known
academics and researchers, this Handbook is a distillation of
current and novel research in the field of EDI. Chapters present
groundbreaking new research and methodological perspectives on
international, regional and national issues, from equal
opportunities and gender mainstreaming to managing diversity in
legal, political and socio-economic contexts. Alongside this, the
authors discuss new analytic directions to advance empirical EDI
research. This Handbook will help to shape the present and future
EDI discourse. The book is an invaluable addition to the current
literature, particularly for students of EDI and researchers
working in the fields of human resource management, strategic
management and organization, and culture and change management as
well as entrepreneurship and marketing. Contributors include: D.

This comprehensive Handbook sets out the nature and scope of
International Human Resource Development (IHRD) to advance our
understanding of research and practice in the field. Drawing on
expertise from a global team representing some of the field's most
distinguished researchers, the Handbook explores a range of
contextual, process and people development practice issues
impacting IHRD research and practice. Focusing on IHRD as a
distinct field of research and practice, the authors offer
comprehensive coverage of a number of critical contextual
dimensions that shape the IHRD goals that organisations pursue;
impact the IHRD systems, policies and practices that are
implemented; and influence the types of IHRD research questions
that are investigated. The Handbook examines the processes or
actions taken by organisations to globalise IHRD practices and
discusses important people development practices that come within
the scope of IHRD. By bringing together a variety of research
strands and engaging in key debates while also acknowledging the
emergent, dynamic and constantly evolving nature of the field, the
authors of this Handbook have created an invaluable resource for
academics, students, professionals and practitioners in IHRD, HRD,
HRM, international management, organisational behaviour and
leadership. Contributors: M. Alagaraja, H. Alhejji, V. Anderson, A.

Knowledge management has always been about the process of creating,
sharing, using, and applying knowledge within and between
organizations. Before the advent of information systems, knowledge
management processes were manual or offline. However, the emergence
and eventual evolution of information systems created the
possibility for the gradual but slow automation of knowledge
management processes. These digital technologies enable data
capture, data storage, data mining, data analytics, and data
visualization. The value provided by such technologies is enhanced
and distributed to organizations as well as customers using the
digital technologies that enable interconnectivity. Today, the fine
line between the technologies enabling the technology-driven
external pressures and data-driven internal organizational
pressures is blurred. Therefore, how technologies are combined to
facilitate knowledge management processes is becoming less
standardized. This results in the question of how the current
advancement in digital technologies affects knowledge management
processes both within and outside organizations. Digital Technology
Advancements in Knowledge Management addresses how various new and
emerging digital technologies can support knowledge management
processes within organizations or outside organizations. Case
studies and practical tips based on research on the emerging
possibilities for knowledge management using these technologies is
discussed within the chapters of this book. It both builds on the
available literature in the field of knowledge management while
providing for further research opportunities in this dynamic field.
This book highlights topics such as human-robot interaction, big
data analytics, software development, keyword extraction, and
artificial intelligence and is ideal for technology developers,
academics, researchers, managers, practitioners, stakeholders, and
students who are interested in the adoption and implementation of
new digital technologies for knowledge creation, sharing,
aggregation, and storage.
