Organizational Identity in Practice provides much-needed, in-depth
studies on what happens when aspirations, claims and beliefs
interact. Given the practical needs of managers and students, this
exciting new text provides readers with more insight into what
differences in these identity aspirations, claims and beliefs
really mean and what we may expect to occur when these differences
become visible and what the outcomes of these processes are likely
to be. The diverse case studies illustrate how well-known firms
have dealt with the broad issues of "who we are as an organization"
and "what makes us similar or distinct from others" and cover a
broad range of industries, firms, and organizational forms. The
cases from companies such as Air France, AT&T, Bang &
Olufsen, BP, Statoil, Starbucks, Scania and Alfa Romeo are focused
on the broad topics of organizational identity, strategy and the
environment, multiple and conflicting identities, the construction
of identities, and how organizations express and project their
identities. The authors give scholars, students and managers
valuable ideas on how to deal with organizational identity
challenges within firms.

Crossroads of Entrepreneurship presents works from scholars
belonging to a number of different disciplines - business history,
economics, sociology and management - and addresses a cross section
of issues in the entrepreneurship field. Contributions are arranged
in different sections, emphasizing dialogue across disciplines and
paradigms, rather than boundaries between them. The first section
of the work is a compilation of papers that trace the historical
roots of study in entrepreneurship in different disciplinary
domains, and highlight the fundamental issues addressed by past
research. A second section gathers empirical studies adopting
various methods and investigating different aspects of
entrepreneurial action. The third section collects contributions
investigating the development of entrepreneurship in different
national settings. The work reveals a convergence of issues and
interests, despite paradigmatic differences, and the potential
benefits of more intense conversation across disciplines.

The topic of organizational identity has been fast growing in
management and organization studies in the last 20 years. Identity
studies focus on how organizations define themselves and what they
stand for in relation to both internal and external stakeholders.
Organizational identity (OI) scholars study both how such
self-definitions emerge and develop, as well as their implications
for OI, leadership and change, among others. We believe there are
at least four inter-related reasons for the growing importance of
OI. OI addresses essential questions of social existence by asking:
Who are we and who are we becoming as a collective? It is a
relational construct connecting concepts and ideas that are often
viewed as oppositional, such as "us" and "them" or "similar" and
"differen". OI is also nexus concept serving to gather multiple
central constructs, also represented in this Handbook. Finally, OI
is inherently useful, as knowing who you are is the foundation for
being able to state what you stand for and what you are promising
to others, no matter their relation with the organization. The
Handbook provides a road-map to the OI field organized in over 25
chapters across seven sections. Each chapter not only offers a
broad overview of its particular topic, each also advances new
knowledge and discusses the future of research in its area of
focus.
