This book demonstrates how principles of a Humanistic Management
paradigm are practiced in a variety of industries and regions by
businesses of different ownership structures and sizes. What unites
these businesses is their commitment to the three stepped approach
of Humanistic Management, which is grounded in unconditional
respect for the dignity of life, the integration of ethics in
management decisions, and active engagement with stakeholders.
These businesses are not labeled social enterprises, but operate
within the mainstream of competitive markets. However, they do have
a deep sense of responsibility towards the communities in which
they operate and act accordingly, knowing that sustaining business
success over time depends on a value proposition to society at
large. The cases featured in this book serve to clarify that
businesses can thrive not despite but because they are upholding
principles of Humanistic Management. It will be valuable reading
for academics working in the field of business ethics,
sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

International businesses struggle to be competitive and influential
at the global market level. With the new ideas in the management
and leadership disciplines, hard skills are losing or are believed
to be losing their strategic relevance while soft skills are
praised and highly sought after. The Handbook of Research on
International Business and Models for Global Purpose-Driven
Companies, a pivotal reference source, provides vital research on
international business management strategies and applications
within internal organizations that allow companies to strategically
position themselves for increased success in the global economy.
While highlighting topics such as organizational culture, internal
communication, and generational workforce, this publication
explores leadership disciplines as well as the methods of handling
multicultural organizations. This book is ideally designed for
entrepreneurs, executives, managers, business professionals, human
resource officials, researchers, academicians, and students.
While organisations have become central for thinking and
structuring contemporary social action, existing perspectives on
what they are and how to deal with them are still rooted in modern
ideas about the foundations of society. The chapters in this volume
take critical narrative inquiry -- inspired by post-modern or
post-human approaches to organisations -- as a broad range of
research and development strategies that challenge the dominant
perspectives prevalent in the organisational literature. The
purpose of the volume is three-fold. Firstly, a critical reading of
organisations foregrounding notions of power and ethics is
presented. Secondly, a new framework for understanding and
analysing organisational action based on critical notions of
storytelling and sustainability is unfolded. Thirdly, the framework
is deployed through innovative concepts and learning methodologies
for leadership, organisational, or community development. The
authors engage in philosophical and theoretical reflections on the
ways contemporary organisations work. They also present and analyse
case studies of power, storytelling and learning in organisations.
As a whole the book provides examples of what can be done to make
organisations work in more appropriate ways in the future.
