practices which have redeveloped local and national economies in
the aftermath of the global economic crisis which erupted in 2008.
It explores 'localised' models of economic development, including
problems of diversity and balance and the role of firms, industries
and clusters, alongside comparative studies of policy responses to
the crisis at local, regional and national levels Global Economic
Crisis and Local Economic Development seeks routes for economic
development in a post-crisis world. The roles of innovation,
entrepreneurship, knowledge infrastructures, public policies,
business strategies and responses, as well as global contexts and
positioning are explored as investigative themes which run
throughout the collection as a whole. This text brings together a
range of international disciplinary experts from economics,
geography, history, business and management, politics and
sociology. Its coverage is comparative and global, with
contributions focusing on the U.S., Japan, China, and India, as
well as European contexts and cases. This book is of value both for
the intrinsic quality of its individual studies and for the
contrasts and comparisons enabled by the collection when viewed as
a whole. It has an accessible but rigorous style, making it ideal
for a range of users including academics, researchers and students
who study economic development and regional development.

This book provides the most comprehensive roadmap to a successful
PhD completion, thus offering a useful guide for aspiring and
existing doctoral students in business and management disciplines
and the social sciences (including, inter alia, international
business, marketing, management, management education, organisation
studies, tourism and hospitality, accounting, finance, law, and
economics). The book is written for a global audience of
prospective and existing postgraduate researchers (PGRs) and can be
used and implemented as a core text in PhD induction programmes,
across countries. Academic supervisors too should find this book a
valuable resource on how they can fulfil their responsibility to
guide PGRs toward a successful completion of their doctorate.
Specific practical guidance is informed, at strategic points
throughout the text, by stories of the lived experience of past
PGRs as well as the authors' personal professional anecdotes and
real-life examples of "how to" and "how not to". This compendium of
useful information and tools draws from the authors' decades of
experience in teaching at all levels of educational provision (from
undergraduate programmes through to the Doctorate of Business
Administration), publishing in academic journals of high repute,
successful PhD supervision and examining (in the UK and abroad),
and in their roles as strategic and academic directors of doctoral
programmes in different UK universities.
In 2021 Coventry celebrates being the national City of Culture.
Modern Coventry is a product of successive rounds of industrial,
economic and social developments driven by regional, national and
global forces. This book presents a timely opportunity to reflect
on this rich, and often misunderstood, history. The book examines
the development of industry, services, infrastructure and social
transformation, and the role which globalising forces have played
in influencing these, particularly since the 1950s. It looks at the
experiences of the city of Coventry in responding to the challenges
of socioeconomic change, technological advances, reconstruction and
renewal. Issues of investment, economic decline, reconstruction,
employment change and local and national governance are all
considered in assessing the story of modern Coventry, a city
influenced by new industries and development opportunities while
still being shaped by its historical economic challenges. By
focusing on the case of Coventry this book contributes to debates
surrounding urban structural change, economic diversification and
resilience from the perspective of a medium-sized city.
