This book provides an examination of the general manager, which
encompasses their roles as strategist, organizational designer and
institutional leader. Instead of exclusively focusing on the
economic aspect of general management, this book explores a
humanist perspective based on the conviction that maintaining high
ethical standards is a precondition to the healthy, long-term
prosperity of firms and, more importantly, the development of
employees. Bringing together a team of contributors from several
prestigious business schools in Spain, Portugal, and Central and
South America, this book develops the field of general management
through academic thinking, research and practical experience in the
form of original and relevant case studies from the perspective of
Ibero-American business communities. After explaining the
foundations of its call for humanist general management practices,
the authors focus on themes inherent to strategy and organizing
such as sustainability, business model innovation, strategy in
emerging markets, strategic alliances, digital strategy and
organizational learning. They conclude by focusing on institutional
leadership, and provide a fresh look at boards of directors, risk
management, family businesses, stakeholder management and the work
of CEOs. General Management in Latin and Ibero-American
Organizations is an invaluable resource that will be of great
interest to practitioners and students in the field of
international business, management, organization studies, strategy
in emerging markets, leadership and corporate governance.

New technologies, global markets and increased competitive
pressures mean that companies are having to reinvent themselves,
reappraise their competitive strategies and rethink the ways in
which they organize business activities. This timely book
illustrates how changes in strategy can translate into
organizational changes within the firm itself and can influence the
relationship between the firm and their employees and
collaborators. The authors provide a broad theoretical and
empirical assessment of these complex changes, their effect on the
nature of employment, and the consequences for both employers and
employees. They develop a framework that encompasses the
interaction between the strategic reactions of businesses to a
changing environment and the restrictions imposed by social
institutions. A key theme of the book is that we are now living in
an age of transition where concepts such as job security, which
have played a crucial role in society, are no longer valid. Indeed,
the importance of the research presented in the book is underlined
by the social and political implications such changes will
undoubtedly bring. Significantly, the authors view the subject
matter from an interdisciplinary perspective applying tools from
the fields of organizational behavior, sociology and psychology.
Social economists, employment analysts, business managers, and
scholars of strategic management and organizational studies will
value this integrated assessment of the challenges and changes
facing modern firms.
