Organizational diversity has become a topic of interest for
practitioners and academics alike. This book explores how diversity
in organizations is, and can be researched, providing readers with
insights into the potential research designs for studies in
contemporary organizations. This includes paying attention to
methods but also to the role of the researcher and research bodies
in the field, their potential as activists as well as to the
theoretical question of standpoints in researching organizational
diversity. Chapters also consider the diversity of research
participants, inclusive research, and intersectionality. All
contributors are experts in diversity research, and in their
contributions, they reflect upon the appropriate methods for the
specific type of diversity research they conduct, noting strengths
and weaknesses and illustrating their arguments with practical
examples from their work. This handbook will be of great value to
academics, students, researchers, practitioners, and professionals
with an interest in broadening their understanding of how to
research organizational diversity in contemporary organizations or
seeking to develop their awareness of diversity when researching
management and organization, more generally.
Mergers and acquisitions remain one of the most common forms of
growth, yet they present considerable challenges for the companies
and management involved. The effects on stakeholders, including
shareholders, managers and employees, must be considered as well as
the wider implications for the economy, the level of competition
and employment. By drawing on classic research perspectives and
placing them alongside more recent alternatives, this book provides
readers with a focused yet far-reaching introduction to the study
of M&As. Each paper is set in context by editorial commentaries
and reflects the important organizational and behavioural aspects
which have often been ignored in the past. By providing this
in-depth understanding of the mergers and acquisitions process, the
reader understands, not only how and why mergers and acquisitions
occur, but also the broader implications for organizations. The
book is structured clearly into sections concerned with the issues
that arise before, during and after the mergers and acquisitions
process including motives and planning, partner selection,
integration, employee experiences and communication. A unique
collection of selected readings and contextualising commentary,
this volume will greatly appeal to MBA and graduate students as
well as experienced practitioners.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are events that attract
considerable interest from academics and practitioners, and much
research has been conducted into their impact on individuals,
organizations and societies. Yet, despite all the existing research
and the varied theoretical and methodological approaches employed,
there remains more to learn about M&As. The Routledge Companion
to Mergers and Acquisitions takes a detailed look at this
multifacted subject using a novel framework of four domains -
substantive issues, contextual issues, methodological issues and
conceptual issues. Drawing on the expertise of its international
team of contributors, the volume surveys the state of the field,
including emerging and cutting-edge areas such as social network
analysis and corporate branding. This Companion will be a rich
resource for students, researchers and practitioners involved in
the study of M&As, and organizational and strategic studies
more widely.
