The Business Environment provides a flexible and comprehensive
learning experience for modern PESTLE-driven courses by using a
two-tier approach. The book offers an accessible introduction to
the business environment model, taking into account curriculum and
blended learning developments. For those new to business and
business economics it introduces the key concepts, theory and
examples (covering marketing, human resource management, operations
management, finance), whilst also maintaining the depth and rigour
needed for both undergraduate and postgraduate level study. The
accompanying CourseMate offers a host of practical material mapped
specifically to each chapter, and provides the overall product with
unrivalled depth and coverage for the levels targeted.
The 9th edition of this classic textbook provides students with a
firm understanding of current management theories and practical
skills to help smooth their transition into the workplace.
Combining theory and practice it has been fully updated with a
revised three-part structure to help learners focus on the many
roles managers can play in an organization.
It covers the topics
most commonly taught on business courses at undergraduate and
postgraduate level and gives students an insight into the latest
trends in the ever-changing world of management.
Developed using extensive lecturer and student feedback,
International Business and Management acknowledges recent changes
in course emphasis and presents an integrated treatment of
international management problems. Combining a strong strategic
focus with coverage of the functions that underpin global business,
it delivers a fresh European perspective on international business,
expressly written for post-introductory undergraduate courses and
also for MBA students. All of the key areas of international
business are covered within this managerial framework, including
important topics rarely covered in older textbooks such as: SMEs
and how they compete on a global level; ethics and social
responsibility; and technology and how organizations use
information to support global operations and deliver competitive
advantage. Kelly also includes constructive and genuinely
international examples, showing how SMEs through to MNCs have
grappled with the operational and organizational challenges of
international business. Eye-catching real-world case studies,
market researched pedagogy, and a strong theoretical backbone
ensure that Kelly: International Business and Management is at the
forefront of European IB textbooks.
Geopolitics is the study of how the projection of power
(ideological, cultural, economic, or military) is effected and
affected by the geographic and political landscape in which it
operates. Despite the real world relevance of geopolitics, a common
understanding of what classical geopolitics is and how it works
still lies beyond the reach of both researchers and practitioners.
In Classical Geopolitics, Phil Kelly attempts to build a common
theoretical model, incorporating a host of variables that reflect
the complexity of the modern geopolitical stage. He then analyzes
thirteen pivotal but widely differing historical events stretching
from the Peloponnesian War to World War II, from the fall of the
British and Soviet empires to the contemporary diplomacy of South
America. Through this analysis, Kelly tests the efficacy of his
model as a comprehensive geopolitical analytical tool that can be
used across a broad spectrum of geopolitical contexts and events.

Peak Rock is a celebration of significant developments at the
cutting edge of rock climbing in the Peak District, from the day
that James W Puttrell first set foot on rock at Wharncliffe in the
late nineteenth century, through to modern day ascents on the
area's gritstone and limestone crags. Meticulously researched and
written by a team of local authors, this is the story of the sharp
end of Peak District climbing as told through the words of many of
the Peak's - and the world's - top climbers, including: James W
Puttrell, Jack Longland, Joe Brown, Don Whillans, Ed Drummond, Tom
Proctor, John Allen, Ron Fawcett, Andy Pollitt, Jerry Moffatt,
Johnny Dawes, Ben Moon, Miles Gibson, Pete Whittaker, Steve
McClure, Ryan Pasquill and many more. The late Giles Barker first
started work on Peak Rock - then titled Peak Performance - in the
early 1980s, before progress was halted by his premature death in
1992. It was almost twenty years before Phil Kelly picked up where
Giles left off, pulling together Giles' original research and
interviews, which were stored at the Mountain Heritage Trust. Phil
enlisted Graham Hoey to work on the book, updating the manuscript
with their own interview material and other primary source
information, writing a number of missing chapters and also adding a
number of chapters, including the significant developments of the
1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Phil and Graham brought in a team of
experienced Peak District climbers drawing on their knowledge of
specific developments - trad climbing, sport climbing, bouldering,
gritstone, limestone - and worked with them to develop individual
chapters. This resulting book on the history of Peak District
climbing is the most comprehensive to be published since Eric Byne
and Geoff Sutton's High Peak in 1966.
