"Current Topics in Management" presents basic research on the
theory and practice of management and administration. Volume 12
contains eleven contributions divided into four sections. The
editor explains the volume in Chapter 1, while the other chapters
were the survivors of competitive reviews of 124 submissions to the
thirteenth annual International Conference on Advances in
Management held at Lisbon, Portugal.
Part 1, "Managing Evolution and Transformation" contains three
chapters that deal with organizational transformation through
reengineering for improving business processes, an organizing
framework for the emergence of new organizational forms, and
concepts and forms of "do-it-yourself" in organizations which
involve creative use of resources to deal with a problem. Part 2,
"Managing Inappropriateness" deals with some unusual situations:
managing global imbalances that require cooperation and commitment
from all countries and one of the most important contemporary
phenomena--misrepresentation or radical distortion of reality. Part
3, "Issues in Strategic Management" focuses on the relationships of
board of directors' attributes, conflict, and shared mental models
to board effectiveness, controlling CEO compensation through an
independent board of directors, and ecologically responsive
behavior of corporate actors.
The final part, "Entrepreneurship and Behavior in Organizations"
concentrates with an opportunity-based approach to the theory and
research in entrepreneurial discovery research; a study of the
moderating effects of goal commitment, task feedback, and reward
for competence on the relationship between work overload and
creativity; and guidelines to managers for the diagnosis of the
spiritual health and intervention to enhance spirituality at
work.
This volume will be of interest to corporate libraries,
advanced students in management and administration, economists, and
labor studies specialists. It is the official publication of the
Center for Advanced Studies in Management
