This edited volume explores the nature, scope, and consequences of
the marketisation of higher education. Chapters identify different
practices which reflect the marketisation of higher education, and
offer various perspectives on the policies and procedures which
stimulate and regulate it. The volume takes a holistic approach,
following the notion that the marketisation of higher education
both drives and is driven by the universities which form the higher
education market.

Industrial and organizational psychology (I-O psychology)
contributes to an organization's success by improving the job
performance, wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction, and the
health and safety of employees. Given the extent to which
organizations today are increasingly comprised of employees from
different cultural and language backgrounds, studying the cultural
aspect of I-O psychology has become a necessity. The post-pandemic
world in which the remote or hybrid workplace is becoming
increasingly common adds importance to the multicultural
perspective in the discipline due to the distances involved between
employees and management. The Handbook of Research on Applied
Multicultural Industrial and Organizational Psychology provides
updated research on applied I-O psychology within a culturally
conscious context that can be used for future research directions
in the field by academicians and practitioners alike. Covering
topics such as employability, motivation theories, and workplace
culture, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for
I-O psychologists, business leaders and managers, entrepreneurs,
human resource managers, government officials, students and
educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and
academicians.
The global skills gap and labor market disruptions pose a
significant challenge for organizations worldwide. Higher
education, traditionally responsible for developing personnel,
struggles to bridge the mismatch between the skills taught in
academia and those demanded by employers. From fundamental
communication skills to advanced problem-solving and collaborative
thinking abilities, the deficiencies hinder organizations in an era
of heightened competition. As a result, finding applicants with the

Cybersecurity, or information technology security (I/T security),
is the protection of computer systems and networks from information
disclosure; theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or
electronic data; as well as from the disruption or misdirection of
the services they provide. The field is becoming increasingly
critical due to the continuously expanding reliance on computer
systems, the internet, wireless network standards such as Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi, and the growth of "smart" devices, which constitute the
internet of things (IoT). Cybersecurity is also one of the
significant challenges in the contemporary world, due to its
complexity, both in terms of political usage and technology. Its
primary goal is to ensure the dependability, integrity, and data
privacy of enterprise-wide systems in an era of increasing
cyberattacks from around the world. Effective Cybersecurity
Operations for Enterprise-Wide Systems examines current risks
involved in the cybersecurity of various systems today from an
enterprise-wide perspective. While there are multiple sources
available on cybersecurity, many publications do not include an
enterprise-wide perspective of the research. The book provides such
a perspective from multiple sources that include investigation into
critical business systems such as supply chain management,
logistics, ERP, CRM, knowledge management, and others. Covering
topics including cybersecurity in international business, risk
management, artificial intelligence, social engineering, spyware,
decision support systems, encryption, cyber-attacks and breaches,
ethical hacking, transaction support systems, phishing, and data
privacy, it is designed for educators, IT developers, education
professionals, education administrators, researchers, security
analysts, systems engineers, software security engineers, security
professionals, policymakers, and students.
When immigrants leave their home country to live in a host country
that has a different culture, the acculturation process begins.
There is subtle cultural, social, and political pressure on
immigrants to adopt the cultural values of the host nation. The
acculturation process occurs over time. Exposure to a new culture
is often stressful, as one is exposed to new values, beliefs, and
behaviors that may be different from their home culture. Strategies
for Cultural Assimilation of Immigrants and Their Children: Social,
Economic, and Political Considerations increases awareness of the
cultural assimilation process among parents, children, employers,
and educators. This book discusses internal conflicts and promotes
harmony and understanding. Covering topics such as civic literacy,
mental health, and identity formations, this premier reference
source is an excellent resource for sociologists, psychologists,
government officials, educators and administrators of both K-12 and
higher education, students of higher education, librarians,
researchers, and academicians.

Critical race theory is an emerging transdisciplinary, race-equity
methodology that originated in legal studies and is grounded in
social justice. Critical race theory questions the very foundation
of the liberal order including equality theory, legal reasoning,
enlightenment, rationalism, and neutral principles of the
constitutional law. It deals with a broad perspective that includes
economics, history, context, group and self-interest, feelings, and
the unconscious. Further study on this theory is required to
understand its various implications across fields. Implication of
the Critical Race Theory for Social Justice raises awareness of
racial justice and social equity by discussing the history and
future directions of critical race theory across disciplines. The
book considers how the theory can be applied in various areas such
as education, psychology, political science, and law. Covering
topics such as dehumanization, social discrimination, and
victimization, this reference work is ideal for social
psychologists, lawyers, political scientists, researchers,
scholars, historians, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and

While much thought has been given to how business leaders and
managers can obtain the most productivity from Millennials
(Generation Y) and subsequent groups such as Generation Z, the true
challenge is far more complex. The workforce of the near future
will be a multigenerational one, featuring members from between
four and six generations in one organizational setting. This
situation is made even more complex and challenging with the effect
of today's globalization, which has created worldwide
