This annual series presents fundamental research on the theory and
practice of management. Volume 7 contains articles presented at the
2001 meeting of the International Conferences on Advances in
Management (ICAM), held in Athens, Greece. ICAM's goal is to be
truly comparative-in terms of the broad scope of management
perspectives, in the broad-ranging locations of its research as
well as its application, and in its comparisons of findings,
methodologies, and operational definitions. This volume exemplifies
ICAM's objectives.
Part 1, "Organization Theory, Learning, and Effectiveness,"
revisits the management theory jungle, reports on the development
organizational learning capabilities in Europe, encourages
organizational learning through cultural diversity, and reviews the

Organizations," considers the relationships of religion to
organizational citizenship and whistle-blowing behaviors,
identifies antecedents of misbehavior among nurses and social
welfare workers, and uses process framework as a method to depict
encroaching processes and change in organizations. Part 3,

issues of management abroad.
Topics include the dimensions and levels of power bases and their
relationships to subordinates' compliance and satisfaction in the
U.S. and South Korea, the relationship between empowerment and
quality of work life in Mexico, and case studies of organizational
intellectual capital in China. Part 4, "Management in the Public
Sector," turns attention to efforts to recognize and build on
differences in public administration. Part 5, "Managing Human
Resources," addresses the nature of researcher values in human
resource management and considers recent publications in mainstream
human resources in order to isolate the patterns of research. Part
6, "Role of Research in Management," discusses the need for
processual thinking. It presents a list of factors contrasting two
views of management: the classical view, and the "process view of
management."
This volume will be of particular interest to corporate
